The Affair

Chapter Two

Lucy woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked. As much as she wanted to just stay sleeping on Natsu's couch she knew she should get up. Before she could even move a muscle to get up the smell of bacon was at her nose. Lucy peeked an eye open and Natsu was standing next to the couch holding bacon in front of her face.

Lucy smiled and leaned forwarded grabbing the bacon with her teeth.

"Thanks" she said in a heavenly tone as the taste of bacon delighted her tastebuds.

Natsu laughed and walked back into the kitchen. "Damn Luce you're practically moaning over that bacon."

"It's so good. Gimme more!" She exclaimed before getting up.

Natsu again laughed and cracked some eggs to fry them. Lucy walked into the kitchen and started prepping some plates and cups.

"Milk or orange juice?" She asked as she poured her self some juice. "Milk, thanks." Natsu told her as he seasoned the eggs.

Once the food was ready Natsu carefully laid the food out and sat down. Lucy's mouth was watering at the sight, but before she could even touch it Natsu had pulled it back.

"You don't get food until you talk about what happened last night?"

"We just had a disagreement and I got upset," she said as she reach for the plate. However, Natsu pulled it back further and raised an eyebrow.

"Lucy, you've been married what two years now? In that entire time you've never once mentioned any fights or disagreements. You have one and you say it was no big deal yet you came to my door in the middle of the night bawling your eyes out? Yeah I don't think so."

Lucy took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes so he'd know she was sincere.

"Natsu, I'm on my period okay and sometimes I get a little more upset than usual. We got in a fight about him working. Nothing new. Okay?"

Natsu just stared at her he could tell she was lying from the look in the her eyes. Him knowing Lucy she was adamant about keeping it a secret.

He slowly pushed the plate of food forward.

Lucy sleepily smiled and grabbed the plate, scuffing down all the food on it.

Lucy's heart was racing as she opened the door to her house. Was she ready to confront him, was this the end of their relationship? Oh no she was one of those women now that had to get a divorce after such a short marriage.

As all the thoughts flowed through Lucy's head the door flung open and relieve Mason.

"LUCY! Where have you been!? Why didn't you come home last night? I've been calling you and you never answered."

Lucy hands were trembling as she tried to get her words out.  "I-I.. know..." she muttered and with much hesitation said, "I'm sorry, me and Levy fell asleep on the couch and my phone must've died while I was sleeping." 

Mason sighed and shook his head. "You gave me a heart attack, I didn't know what happened to you. I was so worried."

"I didn't mean too. I'm gonna go shower now." Lucy walked past him to go shower.

She stayed in there for almost an hour. Her skinned was turning pink from the burning hot water. She scrubbed her body with her luffa as if cleaning her self would erase what happened last night. She just couldn't fathom why he would cheat. Was she not good enough, sexy enough, why wouldn't he just end things?
Is this why he ignores her and only sleeps with her at night? Lucy couldn't wrap her mind around it.
