Chapter 4

Lucy's pov

I know that this is wrong but as the saying goes curiosity killed the cat. As I pretend to be asleep as an older maid checked on us. I listen for her footsteps retreating. Once I can't hear her anymore I wait a minute or two before I slide out of bed. I creep up the stairs towards Laxus' room. I've only been there once before in the past couple of months. I see him through the crack in the doors sleeping peacefully with both his muscular arms wrapped around the pillow. Almost like a kid holding a teddy bear. I can giggle a bit myself about that and smile at the thought I quickly quiet down and slap a hand over my mouth. I make a beeline straight for the object I saw before but came across a picture. It's of a blonde lady who looks a lot like Laxus. Like maybe mother or sister? I can't be sure though I don't know enough about him to know for sure about any of that.

I turn it over to examine it more and see a letter of some sort slip out. I quickly snatch it up and stuff it in my pocket to read later. I will return it after I'm done and Laxus will never have to know. That is my hope until I hear "what are you doing here?" I freeze thinking of making a run for it. The odds aren't in my favor so I whirl around to face him. He's standing there and in all his glory. When he sees that I am not focusing on his question and looking at his body he quickly put on a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. I am grateful that he realized that since it would make it even harder for me to get out of here with him like that.

"I came to see you" I mumble to him looking ashamed. He clicks his tongue on the roof of his mouth in a chiding way shaking his head ever so slightly. He seems amused by this whole story not that I mind though. I bite my lip trying to look seductive twirling my hair around my finger. He takes a strand of my hair in his hand breathing in my scent and exhaling in content. He offered me to stay here with him. Just to sleep tonight nothing more which I gladly except. I watch him get undressed again licking my lips. He hops in bed and I follow his lead. I like how he spoons me.

I hear him murmur I'm my ear " we will talk tomorrow." With that being said it makes me think that he knows my plan I can worry about that tomorrow and enjoy being here with him. I lay my head on his chest taking advantage of all of this. I don't even know why I'm doing this anymore. It might seem that way when I tell him why I was really up here. I snuggle closer to him and I realize he smells like a mixture of wood, cologne, cinnamon and fresh clothes. I nod to him about talking too tired to say anything. Apparently he can perceive me better than I can myself sometimes. That's my last thought as I drift off to sleep.

*next morning*

I'm so glad that last night wasn't a dream. I feel bad that I'm going to wake him but I kind of have to it's my job. I'm impatient and want to talk now. At least I can do it gently which is boring and not fun in anyway but for him I will. He's very unpredictable when you are trying to wake him up in the morning so I don't want to test that so I shake him gently and say"Wakey! Wakey!" That's what he's greeted with when he opens his eyes and....

What does he do?
