(2) CHAPTER #22
LUCY's POV
I TRIED my best not to smile while reading the reports that each department submit. I can feel him drawing circles on my palm as I continue reading all the reports out loud "I really don't know how you can read all this files alone" I murmurs.
"Am I great, wifey?" He said as he nuzzled in my neck. I am currently sitting on his lap right now, and I really like this actually "Wifey?"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for coming back" he sincerely said "Thank you for choosing to stay despite the fact that I hurt you more than I can imagine"
I beam at him "And I'm more than thankful that you accept me"
"Because you're too stubborn"
I laughed "back at you, Hubby" he laugh at me before he hug me tight. I turned my head on him and kiss him on his cheeks and forehead.
"What did I do in life to have someone like you?" He murmur. I'm not sure if he was asking me or himself. I reached for his hand and planted a soft kissed at the back of his palm.
"Should I continue reading all the reports?" I asked him.
He open his mouth to say something when all of a sudden the door swing open - my eyes got widen when I saw my twin brother's face "What the hell?" He say the moment he see the both of us
I saw Natsu frowned "What the fuck are you doing here, brother?" I scowl
Sting roll his eyes on me and then crossed his arms "Well, with all due respect, my ugly twin sister. I was waiting you outside the building"
"If you really waiting for me outside then what are you doing here?" I asked in the matter in fact tone.
"Because I got tired of waiting" he exaggerated roll his eyes "And then here you are, having sex with your husband!"
I blushes as my mouth hung open - I can't believe that my brother just say it out loud "Umm..." Natsu tried to say something but his own words fail him.
Sting raised his hand like he was trying to stop Natsu for saying anything "Shh! Okay don't say anything" Sting act like he was about to cry before he sit down on the nearest couch "I'm very sorry that my sister pushed you to do it, knowing that you are blind"
"HOW COULD YOU STING!" I scowl "I am your twin sister for God sake! How could you!" I almost yell.
"That is the reason why I know you better" Sting said pouting his lips "I do know how your mind works" he say innocently.
I exaggerated roll my eyes, I can't believe this! "I'm very sorry for letting you wait outside, my dear twin brother. But as you can see, I have a meeting within 5 minutes and you being here is not really helping"
"How could you say that!" He scowl.
"I'm just saying the fact, brother" I say sarcastically. He open his mouth to say something but I just raised my hand to stop him so I could continue "If you really want to help me I would like to proposed to you a business proposal"
Sting frown "With or without your proposal I am very helpful"
"But not for me this time" I say sarcastically
His eyes wide open and dramatically point a finger to me like I say something terrible. I roll my eyes "Fine" I beam at him "But I will attend the meeting"
"What? Why?"
"Duh! I'm soon to be one of the stock holder in this company" he said in the matter in fact tone
I open my mouth to say something "Sure," Natsu say making my eyes wide open as my mouth parted - I can't believe it!
"But Natsu--"
"It's okay" he murmur "Besides its about time for you to go in the conference room. I would like to know, what my wife capable of--" he didn't finished his words because Sting finish it for him.
"So please do, entertain us, Sister" Sting said.
AS WE arrived at the conference room, all eyes are on me like they're trying to read my thoughts. I mentally roll my eyes with them as I guide my husband to sit on his usual chair. Sting on the other hand, sit in the random chair as his eyes survey the entire place. I clear my throat "I won't get much of your time because my husband never pays you to have meeting all day. So here's what I've noticed on you report especially in the finance department - can you explain to me now the missing five million USD dollars?" I hears Natsu gasp on my side the moment he heard what I've said.
"M-Ma'am... I think" the woman says.
"What?" I asked impatiently "This is a warning to all department, I won't accept any resignation letter until this problem is not yet solve. I also want you to know that, you can't just do AWOL on this company because I'll assure you that I'm going to hunt you down and put you behind bars."
I saw them swallowed as they mouth instantly turn pales. My lips twists into an impish smile but my eyes are glaring them "Don't you dare try what I'm capable of, Understand!"
"Y-Yes Ma'am" they all said.
"This afternoon, I will do rounds in each department, so please do prepared!" They all nodded to me before they exit in the room.
I looked at my brother's who is now sleeping in the couch. I roll my eyes before looking to Natsu who's like thinking about something "Are you alright, Natsu?" I asked him worriedly as I gently touched his cheeks.
"I am fine," he says quietly "But I'm just wondering how they betrayed me like that. I mean, I did my best to help them..."
I made him look on me as I planted a soft kissed on his forehead "Don't worry I will help you to solve this problem."
I felt him wrapped his arms around my waist as he burried his face on my breast "Thank you, Lucy" he murmurs.
NATSU's POV
IT'S BEEN one week since Lucy returned. And honestly speaking, I'm happy yet I'm sad. Happy that she's finally back in my arms and sad because I might caused another pain on her life.
"Natsu the dinner is ready" I heard Lucy says as I heard the door swing open "I'm sorry it took so long to prepared our dinner."
"It's okay, Luce" I murmur.
I felt her squeezed my hand as she guided me to walk. I listened to every story that she made, she even told me the things that happening in the company "Oh by the way Natsu, I made a pudding so leave a room for the desserts"
"Okay" I whisper - I was about to get my glass but accidentally spilled it, I heard her gasped "S-Sorry"
"It's okay, Natsu" she say.
I mentally bit my lower lips as I listened to her movement. I'm starting to hate our situation. I really do want to make it up with her, I really do but I also want to pushed her away for me because that is the better idea for us...
...
I want her to live her own life without me.
LUCY's POV
AS I laid down on our bed. I keep on staring on his sleeping face. I don't know why I have this feeling of emptiness as I looked on his face, like he was thinking of something that probably hurt me or us. I gently caressed his face as I lean and kissed him on his forehead "Good night, Natsu" I whispered.
I slowly open my eyes when I felt that someone is brushing my hair, I didn't move instead I just look on his face. Natsu smile on me... smile that full of pain and hurt.
"I'm sorry for being trouble to you, Lucy... " he said making my eyes got widen. "You know... I can... I can go in the famous doctor around the world to make my eyes back to normal, right? But I chose to be blind. I chose to be like this because... because for me... because for me this is my karma for hurting you. That being blind is enough to take all the pain and hurt that I cost you before. "
My jaw drop on the ground when I heard it, then I didn't notice that I was silently sobbing in front of him, while he confessing him.
"I set you free but here you are... sleeping on me and taking care of me. Lucy... I'm sorry for being like this... I'm sorry because I can't take care of you. You don't deserve to be like this. You don't deserve like me. You deserve more." he said crying.
I bite my lower lips to keep my sobs. Ooh Natsu... my poor Natsu.
He chuckle a little but sobs escape to his mouth, "I'm pathetic right now? You know that... Talking with you while you're sleeping? Make me look so pathetic. I'm sorry... I'm sorry because I don't have guts to face you and say to you that I love you." I cover my mouth when he said those words on me. He say he loves me?
I love you too, Natsu. God knows how much I love you.
"I love you, Lucy... I love you so much but... but... I hurt you. I fail to see you before. I'm a failure, and every time I remember how much hurt I cost you pain me more. That I just want to drown and killed myself. How I wish I can go back in time and make everything right...
...
...
...
How I wish I never hurt you before."
