The movie, I soon came to realize, was not the entire reason Natsu brought me along. I should have seen it coming really. His hand danced tantalizingly far up my thigh, forcing me to repress shivers. I shot him an angry look but he just smirked and kept at it. Finally, during a dull moment in the movie I pull him out of his seat and drag him out of the movie theatre. We where virtually alone in the parking lot, our faces illuminated by the lots pale white lights as we stood by his car.

"Natsu what the hell where you doing? I was trying to enjoy the movie!" I put my hand on my hip. He puts his hand on my waist and pulls me closer to him.

"What...did you really think I'd bring you out here and not try to get some?" He chuckled.

"Well yeah, we are kind of on a date," I say the last part lowly.

"I never said this was a date," he raises his eyebrow.

"Well you never said it wasn't either!" I counter him quickly, red beginning to flood my cheeks. The nerve of this guy, honestly. He let me just go on thinking that it was a...date. I turn away from him but he stops me and I feel his hand on my neck, his thumb brushing my cheek. I keep my face turned away, pursing my lips slightly.

"Hey, Luce, look at me please?" His voice had a hint of pleading.

"Why the fuck should I?" I ask acidly.

"Just...please." I whip my head to look at him, still clearly angry. He catches me in a kiss, but unlike any kiss we had before it wasn't rough or arousing; it was nothing of that sort. It was...gentle. Sweet, even. I relaxed slowly and calmed down. This kiss had me reeling, it felt like an eternity but at the same time it was all too short. When he broke the kiss he gave me an uneven, transparent looking smile.

He's conflicted.

"Let's go home," he says, kissing me one more time but this one; in typical Natsu style, was leaving me breathless and aching for more. But...what was that kiss before...I wonder?

"Natsu, wait!" I put my hand over his, just as he was unbuckling his belt. He stopped and looked at me confused.

"I need to ask one thing before we keep going," I say, brushing some of my hair back out of my face. He nods slowly.

"Okay...what is it?" He has both of his arms on either side of my face as he looks directly at me.

"So, you said the rule was absolutely no falling in love, right?" I ask, still slightly breathless.

"Uh, yeah..." He looks at me with his brow slightly furrowed. "What's this all about?"

"Did you mean that... I couldn't be the one to fall in love with you?" I gesture between us.

"I guess so? I don't normally worry about catching feelings," he admits. I nod slowly.

"And if you do?"

He shrugs. "I'll take the girl if I want her. It's usually pretty simple with me Heartfilia," he grins and I laugh softly. Then I pull my hand from his. When he leans in to kiss me again I move to the side slightly so my lips are beside his ear.

"I wonder if you really are all that simple, Natsu," I murmur. And then I look at him before our lips press together once more. After he had removed his pants and mine, right as he was leaned over me, he smirked as he paused.

"Trust me Luce, I am." And as I looked at him, slightly puzzled he caught me off guard as he entered me and I latched onto him, muffling my moan in the crook of his neck.

"Fuck, Natsu! T-that.."

"Payback for making me miss the movie," he panted and I dug my nails into his back as my body shook. It wasn't long before I couldn't keep myself quiet, making him smirk triumphantly as he thrusted tantalizingly slow, making me curse and urge him on. As usual, I was the first to be a  moaning mess. But he had that effect on me, damn him. He's addicting, like nicotine...only he's worse than nicotine. Yeah.

"I...hate...mnn...y-you," I manage between breaths. When he finally collapsed beside me, he chuckled.

"I highly doubt you on that." I rolled on my side to look at him, and I reached over to brush some of his messy hair out of his eyes.

"I hate your attitude," I tell him.

"Ouch," he laughs quietly.

"I hate your good looks," I add.

"But you admit they're good." I roll my eyes.

"I hate that I'm addicted to you." He looks over at me.

"Well I have that effect..." He chuckled.

"You really are an arrogant ass," I sigh and shake my head, looking at him disapprovingly.

"Hey, but I'm a sexy arrogant ass," he smirks, leaning closer to me.

"Oh yeah, that makes it so much better." I quip. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him.

"You know you secretly love it," he whispers. I don't reply, I simply sigh softly. He isn't totally wrong. Ugh, fuck what am I thinking? I close my eyes and fall asleep rather quickly, knowing I had work the next day. Erza and Levy would be stopping by to talk, so I needed to be alert when I talked to them.

-----

I woke up the next morning alone in the bed. Everything was quiet, and I frowned slightly. I looked at the time and saw that it was two hours before I had to be at work. I got out of bed and got dressed, looking for sign's that Natsu was around. I looked out of his room and saw no one. He already left, he has no obligation to stay here to wait for me. I'm just the sex friend.

I looked myself over in his bathroom mirror as I pulled my hair back into a ponytail. I finish getting ready and I leave the apartment, leaning against the wall of the elevator. When I walked off the elevator and out of the parking garage to the bus stop, my hips swayed much like usual as I walked. My hair swung slightly in its up-do. I wasn't necessarily trying to hide what assets I had.

If Natsu isn't laying claim to me, then I won't miss an opportunity to find a guy who will love me. Natsu...he's just my nicotine. I can't afford to think of him any other way.

And with that I boarded the bus that had pulled up to my stop. I sat down in a seat with a soft sigh. I had another long day of work ahead of me, with night feeling oh-so-far away.

Did you catch the Panic! At The Disco references? Lol, I'm addicted *wonk wonk* to them. Anyway, this book was made completely on a spur of the moment but I couldn't be happier with it.

Sorry for the crappy lemons ;o
I know, I'm trying here!
I hope you are enjoying this book!
