Deal
Hello minna! So as you can see I decided to update on Saturday and I think I'm going to keep it that way :) So here's the next chapter!
Lucy's POV
"No....no, ew, ummm....no. Oh that one's cute! N-O. Really? No. No. No! Ugh! Virgo get the rest of these clothes out of my sight before I puke." I said to my maid as I shooed her away.
"And what shall I do with them Hime?" She asked dumbly.
"I don't know! Just toss it in the trash or something, now go!" I ordered, pointing to the door.
"Of course Hime." She bowed and left the room. Suddenly I hear my phone ring. I look at the caller I.D.
Oh! Excitedly I answer the phone.
"Hey darling, how are you?"
"I'm good, just eager about our date tonight." He answered sweetly.
"Yeah! I was just looking at what I was going to wear!" I said happily. But that happiness soon faded once I saw a certain someone walk through my bedroom door. "Sting honey I'm gonna have to call you back." I shut my phone off...
"What do you want dad, I'm kinda in the middle of something." I said while signaling to the clothes spread out all over my room.
"Oh, then I got to you at a good time." He said with his face impassive.
"What do you mean?"
"Just get yourself ready. We're going to see you fiance." He said bluntly.
"W-What?!?!"
"Yes, up until now you have shown me that you can't take care of yourself because you're being to much of a pest. So you'll be married to Hibiki from the blue Pegasus company. You will be fine there and it will surly benefit us all."
"What?! Maybe for you but I'm in love with someone else! I'm not going to get married to some guy I don't even know!" I said getting angry at my fathers sudden demands.
"I don't care. So go get your little girly things ready and I'll meet you in the limo." He said while starting to walk out.
"No! I told you that I'm not going to marry anyone and you can't make me! You know I have Sting and I'm not planing on leaving him!" I yelled.
"Fine, if you love this man so much then why don't we make a deal?" He suggested while turning and raising an eyebrow. I already knew what his 'Deals' were like, they always came with a high price...
"What kind of deal...?" I asked cautiously.
"You live by yourself for three months with out my money or help. That means you would have to get a job." He stated. "If you last that time with out me, then you can come back home, do whatever you want and be with whoever you want. But if you come crawling back to me before that time...you will marry who I choose for you with out any complaints and you will live the life I give you. Deal..?" He asked holding his hand out for me to shake it...
I knew my father all to well in this sense. He makes his deals seem harmless and easy at first but then he keep's on adding difficult tasks making it, well, difficult. I've lost to him many times but I'm sure I wont lose this one. I'm not going to let him control my life, not like before...
"And what if I say no?" I asked just in case.
"Well then I would have to make your pretty little boyfriend disappear so that you can't have an excuse as to why you can't marry Hibiki.
"You wouldn't dare...." I asked squinting my eye's at him.
He would go to such lengths just to get me to marry this guy and to make my life miserable?
"Try me." He challenged.
Our eyes were locked on to each other's, but after a moment I sighed. "Deal" I ultimately agreed while taking his hand to shake it firmly.
"Alright, you start today. You can only take two suitcases, so take what you need. The limo will take you to your small apartment in twenty minutes so hurry up!" He walked out of my room with a smirk on his face.
And so his obstacles begin.
I started packing simple and basic things like shoes, shirts, pants, underwear, etc. Then of course bathroom necessities and stuff like that.
My time was already up so I was leaving my room. I looked back just in case I forgot anything, then I noticed the box with the letters to my mother on my desk. I quickly grab it and head out to the limo. My father told me that my apartment was in a place called 'Magnolia', wherever that is.
~
The whole car ride I would I look out my window and we had arrived in about half an hour.
"Where here." Said my chauffeur. I get out of the car and see my new pink apartment. It was actually a pretty descent place.
"Here you go Lucy-sama." Said Capricorn while placing my two suitcases next to me and handing me the keys.
"Thank you, you can leave now." I said while gesturing him away. He bowed and got into the car and drove off.
I sighed.
At least I don't have to pretend anymore while I'm here. I don't like being mean or rude, but that's the way I had to live if I didn't want to get stepped all over by my father.
We used to be a beautiful and happy family but then my mother became gravely ill and later on, passed away. After that my father began accusing me of her death for no reason, then came the screaming and the beating, but I thought to myself...my mother wouldn't want me to live like this, so I had to become as ruthless and mean as him, and that's the only way I've survived until now.
I entered the apartment and noticed that it was fully furnished.
Thank God.
And I noticed a small post-it note on the table.
Hope you like your place. Oh and I forgot to mention that your going to be attending Fairy Tail academy, you start tomorrow and your uniform is on your bed.
P.S. Be glad I at least didn't put you in a public school.
What?!?!....Wait now that I think about it...how did he already have an apartment ready for me? And he already enrolled me in a school?? He probably had this all planned out before hand. Ugh!
I sighed in frustration and finished unpacking my stuff.
Going to school wasn't a part of the deal so I'm not going.
I decided to call Sting back since I had been rudely interrupted by this whole mess. After two rings he answered.
"Hello?" I heard him say on the other line.
"Sting! It's me Lucy."
"Hey honey, so at what time do I pick you up for our date?" He asked kindly. I sighed and explained to him what happened. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, and I'm really sorry I can't make it to our date today. Maybe next Sunday, when I'm finally settled down and probably have more money." I said the last part jokingly but truthfully.
"Damn, Next Sunday I can't." He said.
"Why?"
"Cause I'm busy that day. You know, I have to help my Dad with his business and all that." He explained.
"Oh yeah...Well okay, I guess we can set a date later, right?"
"Yeah, listen I have to go, my old man is calling me. Bye bye honey." After that I hear the beeping meaning he already hung up.
"Well bye." I said to my self.
It was already getting late so I took a quick shower and headed off to bed.
To bad his father was always a slave driver, maybe that's why we're together, we understand each other.
And you what? I'll do something more useful then going to school. Tomorrow I'll start looking for a job. Ugh I cant wait for this nightmare to end!
Hope you guy's liked it! Yes this chapter was a little boring but it's just the beginning! So wait and see what's going to happen in the next chapter!
Thank you for the nice comments from the last chapter and don't forget to vote and feedback is much appreciated! :D
Until next Saturday! Ja ne~!
