Levy and Gajeel were together. This made me felt contempt somehow. I was really happy for both of them.

"Ne Lulu-Chan why were you crying?" Levy asked innocently.

Maybe I should tell them the truth.

"Gajeel…..Levy I had sex with Sting Eucliffe."

….Blink Blink*

"WHAT?" they said in unison.

I went on to explain everything to them the bet, stranger at the bar, how it was, my feelings, how Sting left for a year, Natsu confession.

"Levy I'm missing him so much. I just want to see him and talk to him just this once….this once I wanna clear everything up and tell him how I feel."

"Then go do it bunny girl." Gajeel exclaimed.

I sobbed.

"How? How? I don't even know where he went to and I just long for him so bad"

I was like a big cry baby.

"Lulu calm down…please lu we'd find him…" Levy said in a comforting tone.

"Levyyyyyy" I hugged her tightly and wept.

"Sigh. Calm down bunny girl I'd just sniff him out for you so-'' I didn't let him finish as I pulled him into a tight hug also crushing both of them.

"Will you really Gajeel-san?" he nodded.

I let go of both of them.

"Alright lulu-chan Gajeel and I are gonna go k? it's getting late. Take some rest and tomorrow we'd go looking for Sting-kun."

"Goodnight guys."

They left. Before I fell asleep his name rang through my mind. Sting….

The next day.

It was mid-day already. Gajeel managed to pick up Sting scent and we were almost to our destination. I was nervous to see him. He wasn't answering my calls nor communicating with me in any way :(

I wasn't willing to face him. What was he thinking? What would be the circumstances I'd meet him under? Will he accept my feelings?

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a crashing sound. My eyes widen. A dark guild? Here?

Gajeel got into a fighting position and Levy and I followed in suit. It was clear we were out numbered.

"Tch well well Look what we have. Pathetic mages of Fairy tail."

I gritted my teeth. No one looks down on our guild.

"You're gonna pay for your ignorance."

"Iron Fist!" the fight begun.

"SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!" Levy took out six members while Gajeel randomly knocked out the majority.

"Alirght! My turn!" I rushed towards the group that ran towards the forest.

"LUCY!"

"Don't worry guys! I got this!" I gave them thumbs up before focusing my attention to the enemies in front of me.

"OPEN THE GATES TO THE LION: LOKE."

"You rang" Loke popped out knocking out three members while I Luck Kicked the rest.

"YES! We did it!" I smiled in victory.

I was proud that we defeated them.

"A celebration is in order Lucy." Loke grabbed my hands in his and I could feel his breath on my face.

"Perv" I pulled away but he hugged me crushing his face on my boobs.

"LUCYYYYYYYY"

"Sighh* Lokeee you-''

"Ahem" the coloured drain from my face.

"S-Sting." My eyes widen.

I forced Loke gate to close. I stared at Sting. He was leaning on a tree with his arms folded.

His eyes never left mines. We stood there staring at each other neither moving a muscle. I wanted to rush towards him and pulled him into a tight hug but his expression scared me.

He looked pissed and rage was softly breaking in that straight face he tried to mask his feelings.

"LuLu-chan" levy was the one to break this tense atmosphere. Gajeel followed right behind as she rushed towards me and tightly hugged me.

"I was so worried" Levy sniffed however my eyes never left Sting.

Gajeel turned his attention to where I was staring.

"Finally found him huh?"

Sting raised his eyebrow out of confusion.

"OYE! Don't act like I'm not here! What's a 2nd rate guild like Fairy Tail doing here?"

His expression was straight. Before I could reply, Gajeel beat me to it.

"Said's the one who slept with a member from this 'Second rate guild'"

Levy Sting and I faces were red like a tomato.

"Yo-You told them?" Sting said shocked.

"Eeeepzz! Gajeel let's give them some time." Gajeel nodded and followed Levy.

The silence that flowed between us was disturbing. At that moment all I wanted to do was hug sting and tell him how I felt. However I decided against it.

"Oi blondie! Are you gonna stand there whole day and stare into space? Well? What the hell were you all doing here making so much noise?"

That hit a nerve.

"You're blonde too! And…i…..we were just passing through." I looked away. Should I tell him we came looking for him? No. What if he laughs at me?

"….Okay well bye blondie" He turned around to make his leave.

"No Wait!"

He turned around slanted. "What is it blondie?"

Why was he acting like this? Like we were strangers? Like nothing happened?

I let go of my pride and ran to him. My hands circled his waist and I tightly hugged him like we haven't seen each other in forever. Sting, shocked at this let his hands swing loose by his side.

"I…I missed you Sting." His eyes refused to meet mines.

What Sting did shocked me. He removed my hands from around him and made a 5 feet distance between us.

"Tch. Don't get so close blondie. Your fire-breathing boyfriend would get jealous"

What the hell was he speaking about?

"Sting!"

"Blondie!"

"Stop calling me that! My name is Lucy! Your Lucy!" Sting eyes widen.

"Tch. Look I'm not in the mood for games today."

"Sting what are you talking about? I came here to see you…" Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes.

He looked at me confuffled

"To see me? What for? To tell me I was Natsu's rebound? That you two are together? That I was a toy to you?" He yelled. Rage, hurt and jealousy was clearly seen through his eyes.

Sting…

"Sting that's-"

"I THOUGHT YOU CARED! I was a stupid dumbass for thinking that but somehow I hoped so! I called to tell you how I was feeling only to hear that you're with him! Well Congrats Miss Heartfiliah. You got what you wanted right? Natsu is yours. I'm glad I was of some use to you-''

I slapped him. Sting was surprised. He pushed his hand in his pocket and his hair covered his eyes.

Tears were flowing down my face.

"Sting Eucliffe, I love you."
