I STARED on his face trying to figure it out if he was true of he just the result of my imagination. I bite my lower lips, when I realize, that he is true. I stifled a surprise when all of a sudden he held my and we started walking away from Larcade.

I don't know what to do or say... I'm still confused... I can't even think properly now that he is here. I stifled another surprise cry when I felt my other hand being held by none other than Larcade.

"Back off, Larcade" he growls.

"You haven't answered my question, Couz" a smirk formed on his lips as he look at him "Besides, it's too rude to just dragged a woman like that"

"I told you! Back off!" he said angrily emphasizing each words, "And, stop touching my wife" he said as he finally removes Larcade's hand. Natsu eyes are blazing with full of anger to him like he was ready to cut Larcade's head.

"What's wrong on touching her? I know your point that she is your wife but as far as I remember I am Lucy's date today"

Natsu put me behind his back like he was protecting me from Larcade "If you are her date then why you're allowing her to go home by herself? And seriously, a taxi?"

"She can handle—"

"How can you be so sure about that"

Larcade sigh "I should educate you and tell you that Lucy can handle herself well. She's independent person and you should know that because," he pauses "According to your claim, she is your wife"

"I know that my wife is independent person. But I want you to know that she can handle herself, she can do anything she want on her own, and she can create as many trouble as she want to. But if you're man at you'll known that even if she can, even if you trust her that she can do well on her own that you should be damn well sure that she'll do all that safely"

Larcade open his mouth to say something "ENOUGH!" I say.

I brushed my fingers through my hair and then frustrated look to them. I can feel the heat of their stares but I don't care. All I want for this day is just be myself again... I don't want to think about my problems with in my marriage life because I had enough on that. I want to breathe. I want to be freed. I'm too tired to think about everything... about our relationship... about him and Jane.

"Seriously?" I say "I just want to go home!" I look at Larcade's face "Thank you for this day, Larcade. I'm really thankful that you cancel your 'me' time for me. And I really am sorry for how things turned out."

I turned my eyes to meet Natsu's and for one moment... one single moment, I just wanted to get lost in his gaze. But I can't... and I shouldn't...I was pulled out in my sentiment when I felt his hand gently caressed my cheeks – I wasn't even prepared of a sudden contact that we made right now.

"I'm glad that you're okay" he pauses and I can feel his body trembling perhaps because of wind "The moment when Erza told me that you went missing. I was so fucking worried that I thought I'm going to lose my mind"

I open my mouth to say something "Don't do it again, Lucy" he say before he pulled me into a tight hug "Don't just disappear." He murmurs.

"I'm sorry for worrying you all but I'm fine," I murmur "I know I shouldn't run like that. I know I shouldn't do it but trust me I just want to be alone or with someone who doesn't know anything about my life. I need it so that I could finally make a decision. Decision that both of us will benefits" I say as I pulled away on his arm. I stares on his face before I continue "I want you to know that..." I inhale sharply before I tried to smile in front of his face "I will signed the divorce paper, Natsu"

Guilt, pain and something else that I'm sure he wasn't aware suddenly flashes on his face as he look at me. "I'm sorry" he sincerely.

A single tear escaped from my eyes that cue the others to follow, "Its okay"

"Sorry for dragging you into this mess... for not telling you what really happened the moment you learned about my past I... I really don't know what to do know. The divorce paper is just one way to make everything right. We started wrong... and there's a huge possibility that---"

"I know"

"No, you don't understand. I know you misunderstood everything. Tell me... what do you want to know? I will tell you everything"

You can do it Lucy... You can say it... so you can move forward on your life.

"You need to tell me everything, Lucy."

"Do you love me, Natsu?" I say which caught him off guard. He stared on my face for a couple second "I just want to know... because... I love you." I see different emotion on his face as he stares on his face. And this moment, I finally understand that he still confused on what he will do to me.

"I love you but I guess my feelings for you is not enough for us to be together. I... I just realize that maybe our love story is not really a love story but a journey. But who knows, we don't know what might happen in the future."

"Lucy"

"I'm leaving..." I say looking directly on his face hoping that he can stop me from leaving but he didn't. I inhale sharply before I wipe my tears away from my cheeks and smile to him "Thank you, Natsu. Thank you for making me happy in a short period of time. Thank you for everything... and I hope one day, when we cross our paths again. I hope I can look at you without feeling this pain"

For one last moment, I pulled him into a hug. Before I look on his face and smile once again "See you next time, Natsu" I murmured.

I remember about what Mira said to me... that Natsu has a feelings for me... that he needs to think about it... or to make sure that he loves me. And by leaving... I wish that he was sure about his feelings for me.

I really wish for that. I really wish for him to be mine. I put my hand on my stomach and smile bitterly... my decision was right... I need to bear with this for a while... for us. If ever that he stayed in love with his ex... I don't want to burden him of a responsibility.

I just wish that when we cross our paths again... I hope that he has an answer. I hope that he's not doubting what he feels anymore. That's all I can do... I can only hope... and I can't make him love me if he really don't want to. I can't force him.

Yes I'm leaving and it doesn't mean I'm running away.

This is for our future...

For our love...

For me...

For us...

For our baby.
