Chapter 1.5
Juvia was walking down the street heading towards her second job when she heard honking. She just shrugged it off until the driver pulled up right next to her and lowered the window. A blush appeared on her cheeks when she saw the man on the driving seat "M-Mr. Fullbuster?" she half stuttered and half spoke tightening her grip on her dark blue purse. "I saw you walking and my chivalrous side couldn't help but pull over and ask you if you wanted a lift so, Can I drop you somewhere Juvia?" Gray asked with a smile on his face. Juvia couldn't help but fan girl over how good he looked or rather how good he still even now. After admiring him for a few seconds, Juvia finally got the courage to speak,
"I-I don't want to trouble you Mr. Fullbuster!"
"You won't be any trouble, get in the car and tell me where you're going." Gray replied after which Juvia sat in the passenger seat and asked him to drop her at a public pool called 'Water Nebula'. After that, there was an awkward silence in the car. Juvia was somewhat relieved that she did not have to talk to Gray, she didn't want to stutter in front of him and make herself look like a confused tortoise. 'He doesn't remember me, does he?' Juvia thought to herself when, much to her dismay, Gray broke the silence.
"So Water Nebula, huh? Trying to relax in the pool before the first day of your new job?" Gray asked with the initiative of breaking the ice.
"No, I actually work there as a swimming instructor for kids." She replied with a smile creeping on her face due to the fact that Gray was showing interest in her.
"Really? Why? Money reasons? " Asked a very confused Gray. 'I thought that Natsu paid her a tonne', Gray thought to himself.
"No-no. It's not for money reasons. It's just that cooking is my job but this is more of a hobby. I hope you you're getting me. Do you have any hobbies Mr. Fullbuster?" Juvia explained while giggling, waiting for him to reply and see if mixology was still his thing.
"Don't worry, I totally get you and yeah, I do have hobbies, especially mixology. I was into mixology during my college years. I still make a couple of drinks for my brother and a few of my close friends. You should stop by my house sometime; I could make you a couple of drinks." Gray offered hoping he hadn't gone overboard. He was just good with words when it came down to talking to women. Sometimes, even casual talk would change into an amorous exchange of words.
"We're here Mr. Fullbuster!" Juvia exclaimed thinking he forgot how a brake works. Gray just nodded in reply and stopped the car thinking that this was a declination of his offer. Juvia just got out of the car and shut the door. Before turning around and walking away, like an ungrateful bitch, Juvia knocked on the window. Gray opened the window to see a smiling Juvia who said, "Thank you for the ride Mr. Fullbuster. About your mixology, are you free this Friday?"
"Y-yes! Friday is perfect!" Gray exclaimed and thought 'She's not an ungrateful bitch after all.'
"Text me on this number, Mr. Fullbuster." Juvia said with a smile, handing him a visiting card which Gray gladly accepted. Why would he not? This Juvia chick was hot and the next week was going to be stressful!
"Hey Juvia! Call me Gray from now on." Gray said with a mischievous smirk.
"Alright then! Bye, Gray." Juvia said and walked away.
'This chick seems familiar.' Gray thought to himself and drove off to his office where he had a shit load of work waiting for him.
AUTHER'S NOTE:
Hola! I was thinking about keeping the main chapters NaLu with these bite size chapters about other pairings. The format will be something like:
Ch 1- NaLu
Ch1.5- Other pairing
Ch2- Nalu
Ch2.5- Other pairing
I'm still not sure if I would do this or not. I get reviews asking me to continue this pattern, I would. Also, please tell me what pairing you would like to see next. I'll be uploading the next chapter by tomorrow I guess.
Please review! J
