After deciding to end Everyday Lives, I think it'll be easier to find certain chapters this way. I hope you don't mind :)
Fairy Tail and it's Characters belong to Hiro Mashima.
Summary: Erza is the newest secretary of Heaven's Entertainment CEO. The only problem, she knows him, and she's not happy.
Heaven's Entertainment. The number one news station in Magnolia. Only the very best work here. All because the CEO is a brilliant man. He was charming, witty, smart, a typical tall, dark and handsome. Every woman in the company wants to be his 'woman'. Except one.
Erza Scarlet. The newest secretary to the mysterious CEO. And apparently, she's not too happy about it.
"Oh come one Erza, it won't be that bad!" Erza's college roommate, Lucy, told her when they met for breakfast the morning before her first day.
"Of course it will be. Its him i'll be working with," Erza glared at her coffee.
"Who exactly is him? We've heard an awful lot about him, but you've never said who he is," Levy, another college friend, asked as she glanced up from her book.
Erza made no move to answer, she turned her glare to her food the waitress brought, and then started stabbing her sausages.
"Well, you better tell us tonight at dinner. Remember, you guys are eating at mine and Natsu's new place!" Lucy said excitedly, "And please remember to tell Gajeel to behave, especially around Natsu," Lucy turned to Levy, the men in theirs lives, being half siblings, always tended to argue at every chance they got.
"I will Lu," Levy giggled.
"Well I need to go. I don't want to make him wait."
"Good luck, Erza," Levy smiled, having a similar feeling about first days.
"You got this girl!" Lucy was more optimistic about it.
Erza smiled, knowing even if she was headed to hell, her friends were there for her, "Thanks."
The main office building for H.E. was at least 40 stories high. Erza glanced up at the top floor as she walked toward the busy front doors.
"Jellal. I never thought he would stoop to this." Just thinking about the man who was to be her new boss.
As she walked inside the building she noticed how organized it was. She recognized a few people from school. A few of her sorority sisters were here too. Heading to the elevator she saw Juvia Lockser, who recently got engaged to her long time friend Gray, she was talking to another friend of hers, Lyon, who was Gray's brother. She smiled, at least a few of her close friends were here as well.
As the elevator went to the top floor, she began to think of why she really wanted to work here. She had planned on being the best news anchor Magnolia had ever seen. At her previous job, she was. Working her way to the top, eventually H.E. got word of her achievement, and wanted her for itself. Everyone she worked with and all her friends encouraged her to take it, her old boss, who everyone called Grandpa Rob, told her how proud he would be if she took the job.
When it had been offered to her by H.E.'s talent scout, Ultear, she had instantly thought 'no'. But when she saw how excited everyone was, she could't help but say yes. That truly was why she took the job. Why she didn't want the job..
The elevator alerting her to reaching her destination broke her thoughts.
Coming from being a top anchor to being a company's CEO's secretary was a big dip in her career.
"Hi Erza!" Meldy was waving at her from a door down the hall.
"Meredy, it's so good to see you," Meldy had been good friends with Juvia growing up but had moved away when she was 13. She came back for work about two years and been introduced to the rest of big group they hung out with. Meldy had instantly falled for Lyon, and he wasn't far behind her.
"I'm so glad you're here Erza! Jellal has been so worried about you, he won't stop talking about you!"
"Uh huh," Erza smiled, but she chose to ignore what she said. There was no way Jellal truly wanted her here.
"Well anyway I need to get to work, good luck on your first day!" Meldy pointed her to the way to her shared office with Jellal and headed to the elevator.
Jellal Fernandes, CEO, is what the door she was standing in front of said. Here we go.
She walked in, the room was spacious. Coming through there was a scarlet covered couch and a few gray chairs, all looked comfortable high dollar furniture. A desk was across from the couch, apparently it was to be hers. There was a large bouquet of roses on her desk. She pulled the card out and read it.
Erza,
Good luck on your first day.
I expect you to give me an answer today.
XOXO
Jellal
So he still wanted an answer? How interesting.
There was a noise in the room through the glass doors to her left, Jellal's office door opened to her office, the waiting room, then the glass doors led to his actual office.
She heard the door open and then her heart skipped a beat.
Jellal Fernandes. The man she so wanted in high school, the man who broke her heart in college, the man she wanted to strangle at this moment.
"Erza," his baritone voice never failed to make her legs tremble.
"Good morning, sir," she mock bowed to him. Then she walked around her desk, moved the flowers to the side, and threw away the card.
"You don't have to be so formal, my dear, we've known each other for years, there is no need for it," he came and sat on the front of her desk.
"Sir, if you could begin to tell me what my new job entails, I would most appreciate it." She wouldn't look at him, she turned on the computer to get started.
"There is a packet in the top drawer that will tell you everything you need to know."
Still not looking at him, she took out the large packet. She began to glance over when she realized he hadn't moved.
"Is there anything else you need, sir?" she heard him sigh.
"Erza, can we please talk, please?
"There is nothing else to talk about and and I don't care what you have to say," he was her new boss, yet she didn't care how she spoke to him.
"Yes there is, you don't know what really happened," he stood up and put his hands on the desk to lean towards her.
"I know all I need to know," she could tell he was frustrated with her. As he always got when he tried to talk to her about this.
Jellal and Erza grew up together, all the way through college. They both had a crush on the other, Erza had decided to confess when she saw he had his tongue down Kagura Mikazuchi's throat.
"No, you don't," he walked around and spun her chair and knelt down to be face to face with her.
"Sir,-"
"Stop that, Erza, please just listen to me," his anger was rising. She was being difficult.
"No, I refuse to listen why someone like Kagura was more important to you than me."
His expression turned to one of shock, "You think that's what i'm talking about?"
Erza had to stop. No, he wouldn't dare bring that up.
"We said we'd never speak of that again."
"We have to, Miss Scarlet." Erza raised her brow at that.
"No, it was a mistake," she was going to continue but he cut her off.
"I proposed to you. Why did you say no?"
"Jellal, we had a one night stand, we had sex, I was pregnant, that is the only reason you proposed to me. You didn't want to marry me."
In a split second Jellal was sitting in her chair and she was straddling him. He put his arms around her to keep her steady.
"You have no idea of how much I wanted to be with you, that one night was amazing. Yes, we were drunk, but I didn't care. Erza, you are love of my life. I still want you."
"Then how could you kiss her? I had just told you that morning about the miscarriage," tears were welling up in her eyes, "You said you still wanted to marry me. I was going to find you, and tell you yes when I saw you kissing her."
"She kissed me, I can't stress that enough, I never even liked her more than a friend, and that was pushing it. I was devastated over the fact that we lost our child, she was trying to comfort me, and before I knew it, she was kissing me. I'm sorry, Erza."
He was telling the truth, she knew that. She didn't know if she could move on. Looking at him now, hearing the truth for what felt like the 100th time, her resolve was breaking.
Her whole life Erza had been known as a demon, how ruthless she was. Natsu and Gray said that most of their childhoods revolved around getting beatings from her. So why was it that this man made her turn into a shy little girl?
"Give me a chance to prove myself, Erza," again, his baritone voice was making her weak in the knees, it was good timing too, knowing things were about to change. She yanked his tie upwards.
"Well then Mr. Fernandes, why don't you tell me how you're going to make it up to you're wife?"
"Oh, so now you're my wife, this charade is over?"
"I suppose you have suffered enough," she got off of his lap and waited for him to get up.
"I truly am sorry, Erza," Erza smiled at him, seeing that this little charade she put on got him thinking.
The charade they are talking about, is the act that Erza has been putting on for the last week.
After Erza saw Jellal and Kagura kissing, she ran up to them, demanding to know what was going on. Jellal immediately began to apologize, telling her exactly what happened and desperately trying not to lose his chance with her. The incident ended fast, Kagura admitted to what she did and left. Jellal continued to blabber. She stopped him with a kiss. After that, they began dating.
Four years later, Erza gets another positive pregnancy test. Again, he proposes, this time though, she said yes.
And as of two months ago, she has been Mrs. Fernandes. They were waiting to see if she would have another miscarriage before saying anything to their friends about the baby or that they eloped.
A little over a week ago, they ran into Kagura. She started the drama all over again and made Erza relive things she didn't like to remember about college. Jellal was no help at all. Preferring to stay out of a cat fight.
To punish him, Erza started to 'act' those days over. Even going so far as to sleep in the guest room of their house. It was cruel, yes. But she was Erza Scarlet-Fernandes, she could do whatever the hell she wanted.
"You could have at least stood up for me, making me feel like that all over again," she was still a little upset with him.
"I know, I'm so sorry, my dear," He came towards her and wrapped his arms around her. A devilish smirk appearing on his handsome face, "I have a great couch in my office where you can punish me more, I believe I even have a few toys with me so you can have your way with me."
It was no secret to anyone that Erza was very kinky in the bedroom.
"What about work?"
"I'll let Ichiya handle all my calls today," when he said that name Erza shivered, "What?"
"Why did you hire me as your secretary knowing I'd have to work with him?" at her fear stricken face, Jellal could only laugh.
