Chapter 3

Lucy's pov

I wake up bright and early and go downstairs to make breakfast. I make pancakes, bacon and eggs. I then see Laxus walk into the room as I'm placing the plates down. "Sorry I didn't know how much to make so I made a lot" I say kind of sheepishly.

"I eat a lot so it's probably ok now get back to work and stop slacking off and for the love of god stop staring at me." He says snapping at me. I do as I'm told but I feel very awkward because of what happened the other night so it's kind of awkward for me. I jump since I didn't expect him to say that but after all I am his servant so I shouldn't care.

I bite back tears even though I've just known him for about a week I care about him already. I tidy up his room folding and putting away his clothes, making his bed and lots of other stuff as well. As I'm dusting a certain dresser I come across something in a black box that drops on the floor. I pick it up looking around to se where it came from and if anyone heard it drop. That's when I hear someone coming up the steps heading towards his room.

I located where it came from and shoved it back in place as I turn around to be meet with his friend with the green hair. I sigh in relief that it's only him giving him a bow and a quick "hello" before scurrying out of the room with my head down. I don't want to cause them anymore trouble or make any more of them angry. My boss is already mad at me for some unknown reason I don't need that from everyone in this house oh excuse me mansion.

I see Freed reach out in an attempt to grab my arm which I successfully evade. I hear crashing downstairs which thankfully causes me to avoid Freed's line of questioning I hurried down the stairs in the direction that the noise came from. I see a clearly angry Laxus his chest is heaving up and down. I see a couple broken dishes on the floor. At my arrival the other cleaning stuff look relived at me when they see me. I can't possibly see why I am the newest employee here out of all of them. Shrugging it off since that's not the main issue right now.

I approached Laxus slowly with my hands out in front of me in a nonthreatening gesture. I see his shoulders relax ever so slightly when he sees me. I'm not gonna try to touch him just yet. "Master" I say softly which seems to have no affect on him so I try a little louder to no avail. Finally I said "Laxus" soft but firm and his head snapped up in my direction. I back up knowing that I just made a big mistake. I've only known him a couple of months I'm not on a first name basis with him yet I better say my goodbyes now to everybody I care about since I'll never be able to see them now.

When I calm down a bit I realize he doesn't even seem to care all that much. I somehow managed to get him in a chair and calmed down a bit. I'm not going to pressure him to talk about it if he doesn't want to. I retrieve a broom and a dustpan to clean up this mess. When I bend down he watched me clean it up. Not thinking much of it I continue. He still hasn't uttered a word to me since the encounter last week at breakfast. The words that he manages to choke out somehow without crying surprise me. "I'm sorry" is all he says and I freeze with the dustpan in my hand with the glass on it that I was about to throw in the trashcan. I nod my head biting my lip not trusting myself to say anything. "Are you thirsty? Cause I am, Would you like some water? I'll be in my room reading unless you want anything."

I rambled on and on a long time actually making this whole thing even more painful to watch. I raced up the stairs like I'm training for a marathon. It doesn't take as big of a toll on my body as it used to before working here. I don't even know what he's sorry for that left me confused. He didn't approach me after I went to my room so I don't think that he meant to say that to me. I just keep on thinking back to when his friend Freed I think his name is said something. I don't think I was supposed to hear it at all. "Laxus has already been through a lot with his mother and all he doesn't need this too." I heard someone else agreeing and that was to the extent I heard. Don't blame me that those two dumb asses were standing outside the door to my room talking loudly.

Who was the guy Freed was talking to?

What are they talking about with Laxus' mother?

How has he already been through a lot?

What was his outburst all about?

What are they hiding from Laxus?
