(Lucy's P.O.V)

"Wake up, beautiful." Hearing Natsu's voice first thing in the morning was the best way to wake up. I feel him rub my head and lean down kissing my forehead. I turn towards him, still with my eyes closed and nuzzle my head against his chest. "Sleep well?"

"Mhmm..." I don't open my eyes. We're both still naked and I'm a little flustered about last night. "What time is it?"

"6:00 am. I put an alarm clock so we'd wake up early. You need to get back to your cabin." He laughs. "I know you want to stay longer, but we can't take that risk."

"I don't want to get up." I slowly open my eyes and close them again—when the light from outside is too bright. "It's not fair." If we didn't have to hide, life would be so much easier.

"Baby, we have to get up soon." He's out of bed now. I hear the sounds of footsteps and drawers being opened. I hear the click of the light from the bathroom. "Come shower with me." I hear the water turn on and my face turns crimson.

I pull the covers over my head, trying to hide from the world. The events of last night play through my mind and I feel my face heat up. Remembering the way he kissed and touched me, made me shiver at the memory. It was beyond amazing and I honestly want more.

"Luce~." I feel hands pull the cover down. "Come on, don't be embarrassed." I try to pull them up again.

"I was bad, wasn't I?" I whisper, my head still covered.

"No, silly." Natsu pulls the covers down firmly, so I won't pull them up again. He takes me gently in his arms and kisses my sweet spot, that happens to be on my neck. "You were wonderful."

I giggle quietly and nuzzle my head against him.

"No more stalling, Luce." Natsu jumps and picks me up, causing me to yelp. "Looks like the shower is calling us."

"Kyaaaaa! Natsu, slow down!"

"Nope!" He gives me his toothy grin and puts me down. I instantly sigh once I feel warm water pour down on me. But it doesn't compare to Natsu's body heat. "See—not too bad, right?" He places his arms around my shoulders. "You smell amazing." He places his mouth on my neck, giving me more small kisses.

His hands snake down and begin to massage my breasts lightly. I lean my head back and moan. Feeling him smirk, he turns me around and buries his head between my breasts. His kisses are light, soft and full of love.

After reassuring me that he's prepared, we make love for the second time.

"Lu-chan, where were you?" Levy asks. It's 9:00 am in the morning and I recently got back an hour ago. The girls were still asleep, so I snuck onto my bed. The other girls left ten minutes ago, but Levy stayed to interrogate me. "You were here last night, but I woke up at 5:00 and you weren't in your bed."

Oh no! What will I tell her?

"Um...well." I try to think of ways to make an excuse. "I was...well...um..."

"Lucy!" She looks at me firmly, her hands on her hips. Oh dear, the only time Levy says my full name, means she's mad. "I know you're hiding something from me." She crosses her arms. "You've been acting strange since the third week of camp."

"I-." What do I tell her? That I'm secretly in an affair with our coach Natsu? She'll judge me and might even tell me to stop seeing him. But by the way she's acting, I know I can't keep it away from her much longer. To be honest, I've had a feeling someone will be suspicious and in a way, I'm happy it's Levy.

"Fine, I'll tell you." I sigh and sit down. "But don't say anything until I'm done talking ok?"

"Ok." Levy raises her eyebrows waiting for my explanation.

"So, you know coach Natsu?" I twist my hands in my lap. "Well, we kinda started seeing each other a few weeks after camp started." I hear Levy gasp and look up, seeing her try to keep her expression neutral. I can see she's struggling but she keeps her mouth shut and waits until I'm done with all I have to say.

After almost an hour of telling her everything, Levy sits in silence taking it all in. "Lucy, do you even know the risk you both are taking?" She finally whispers. "If someone finds out..."

"I know, I know." I plop on my back and stare at the ceiling. "It would end badly, but..." My voice fades and a light smile forms at the edge of my mouth. "He makes me feel special and desired. I've never felt like this with anyone." I look at her pleadingly. "Please don't tell me stop seeing him."

"Hmm..." Levy puts her hand on her chin and stares at me. Two minutes later, she finally speaks. "So you really like him, huh?"

"Yes." I don't hesitate. "I love him." Every word of it is true. I love Natsu Dragneel, every part of him. Besides, I wouldn't give myself to just anyone. Last night shows that I truly love him and he loves me. "And I know he loves me. I can feel it."

Levy squints her eyes, trying to find a way to not believe me. Her shoulders relax when it seems like she doesn't. She contemplates what I said for almost a minute and surprises me by smiling. "If you really love him and know he feels the same way. Then I don't see the problem, but." She stops me, when I jump up to hug her. "You need to be careful, and I will help you both. But tell him this." She lifts her hand. "If he hurts you in any way, I will not hesitate to kick his pink ass." She empathized the words kick and ass.

"Oh, thank you Lev!" I grin and give her a tight squeeze. "I don't know what to say, your the best!"

She laughs. "I know I am and don't forget it! Besides." She pokes my shoulder. "I'm your best friend aren't I? I will always have your back, even." She lowers her voice. "If you decide to do reckless things." Levy waves her hands. "Like this."

"I know." I smile and lean my head against her shoulder. Speaking of the topic of boys, I smirk and grin at her. "So Levy, how is it with you and the black haired pierced punk? I think his name is Gajeel?"

She blushes and turns away. "I don't know what your talking about."

"Levy!" I put on my commanding voice.

"I'm not telling you anything." Her jaw is set.

I give her a light poke. "Yes you are. I told you about Natsu. Now it's your turn to tell me about Gajeel."

"Well, um.." She blushes. "How did you know anyways?"

"I'm your my best friend, silly! I noticed." I smile and then look at her firmly. "Now spill!"

"Well he asked me out a few days ago and I said yes." She admits. "We're supposed to go out tomorrow night." She sighs and looks at her hands. "But I don't have anything to wear..."

An idea comes to me and I grin, while pulling her hand. "Well it's Saturday isn't it?" I laugh at her surprised look. "Let's go into town and get you something. I'll see if the girls want to come to." Today, it's not about me and Natsu. It's about Levy and her date with the new camper, Gajeel.

"Thanks, Lu-chan." She wraps her arms around me. "Your the best."

"And you are too." To be honest, I'm relieved that Levy knows. I feel as if I lifted something heavy off my chest.

But why do I feel like something bad is going to happen? Just when something everything is finally turning good.
