The promise made but never kept

Chapter Fifty Five

I smiled and nod, hopping happily inside his car.

We drove to my house.

I repeat.

My house.

He treated my house as his and, seriously, I don't mind.

I love this man.

We went straight to my room and cuddled to sleep.

I woke up, moaning, and a tray of food is served on my bedside table.

It was still warm, indicating that it was just cooked moments ago.

There was a note on the side.

Good morning! Eat up! I'll be back, shortly. I just needed to fix something at work. I love you -N

I smiled and ate the food, gratefully.

He's been doing this for months, and it seems that he never gets tired of it.

So early in the morning, and you keep on messing my head!

I freaking love this man!

I grabbed my phone and called him.

First ring and he picks up.

"Good morning, sunshine!" he greeted, cheerfully.

"I love the food!" I cheered and he scoffed.

"Just the food?" he grunted, sounding offended.

"Silly, I love you more!" I laughed, starting to walk to the kitchen with the tray.

Virgo's on vacation, so I washed the dishes and I'm alone at home.

"Where are you? I thought you said we'll date!" I pouted and he chuckled.

"I'll be there. I love you." He responded, evenly.

"You never get tired of that word, do you?" I teased, knowing he hates it when I divert saying the words.

"Lucy." He groaned, and I laughed.

"You know I will never get tired saying it, nor would I get tired hearing it from you." He stated firmly and I blushed.

Silently thankful he couldn't see my red face, I calmed my heart and cleared my throat.

"I love you." I breathe and he was silent.

"Natsu?" I called, and I felt two warm arms encircle around my waist.

I jumped in surprised, and turned around.

My eyes widened and I dropped my phone.

"Yes? You called?" he chuckled.

"You scared me! You jerk!" I punched his muscled chest, and he laughed.

"Listening to those words when you're around, never gets old." He smiled brightly, and I blushed.

"Same goes with your blushing face. You're adorable." He added, considerably.

He lifted me of off the ground, and placed me on the counter table.

Before I knew it, he crashed his lips against mine, positioning himself between my legs.

I slowly trailed my fingertips from his arms to his hair, pulling it lightly.

His kiss deepens and I had to pull away.

"Natsu, I want a date. You promise me!" I pouted, childishly, and he flashed me a wide toothy grin.

"You're right." He nodded and carried me off of the counter.
