Chapter 2

It was yet another beautiful dream. I happily woke up from a deep slumber with a smile on my face. I dreamt of Gray and me. I didn't really understand my dream well. I actually dreamt about him hugging me from behind and telling me to please, don't go. I didn't get it though. I mean, he could so easily have me! If we would be together, I won't ever ever ever leave him. But that's quite impossible… I mean, how could we possibly be together? Yesterday, if it wasn't for that fan, who was an angel sent from the above, who pushed me really hard, he wouldn't even have held me! Just the thought of what happened yesterday made me screech!

"Oi, Lucy? You okay there?" my brother shouted.

"A-ahh!" then that's when I remembered that I still have to go to the grocery store. I hurriedly fixed myself then went down from my room.

"Oh! Natsu? What're you doing here? It's still early."

"Well, Laxus here called me if I can help you buy stuffs."

"Oh, but I can actually handle it alone, you didn't have to bother…"

"It's fine with Natsu, right?" Laxus stared at him, "And besides, I don't want my little sister to be alone, there are many bad guys out there you know!"

"It's not that. It's just, I'm still going to budget our money so I might take some time."

"It's okay; I'll just wait for you!" Natsu beamed.

He really is my ever reliable best friend. Whenever my brother or I call for assistance, he always is right there for us. And as usual, my brother Laxus is taking advantage of it. He trusts him to watch out for me more than anyone else.

"By the way, where's Romeo?" I asked Natsu.

"Oh, he's with Gramps."

"I see. I really like that brother of yours! He looks after your grandpa while you're out somewhere doing who-knows-what." I teased as I wrote down the items I needed to buy.

"Well, I am not doing who-knows-what for your information! I'm looking out for you…"

I blushed, "Okay, fine!" I stood up from my seat, "Come on, I'll buy now. And since you're coming with me, I'll buy some for Gramps and Romeo too!" I smiled.

"Gray. Come sit here." The scarlet-haired girl ordered.

Thus, the latter sat down, and then put his hands behind his head, "Okay, what is it you badly wanted us to talk about?"

"It's about—"

"Wait, hold that thought. Levy! Give me my cellphone!" he clapped his hands. And seeing no Levy came to give his mobile, he shouted once again, "Oi! Levy! My phone!"

"Gray, that's what—"

"Wait a minute Erza. I said hold that thought. I'm just going to call my sister! Tch-" he rolled his eyes and then yelled once again, "Oi! Levy!"

Upon hearing the raven-haired guy's annoying words, she then gave him a punch on the head, "Will you shut up for a second and listen to me?!" she groaned, "Goodness! I don't know how I lasted this long being your manager!"

"That hurt you know!"

"Well that made you shut up!" she crossed her arms. "Now, listen to me! Levy's gone." She clasped her hands.

"What? Where's my phone then?"

"Gray. You seriously are a rude guy. I tell you that your PA is gone, and you ask where your phone is?"

"Tch- I already know the reason why she left so there's no point in asking, right?"

"Exactly!" she slammed her hands on the table. "The reason why all of your PAs don't last long is because—"

"You do not care about their feelings, blah blah blah. I know that already, okay Erza? You told me that like a hundred times!"

"So then, you must realize by now that almost like a hundred people rejected you as their boss!"

He cocked his brows, "Wha-what? It's not my fault if they can't withstand taking care of an actor's needs!"

"But even so! You still need to show them from time to time that you care for them! Can't you express that you can also be nice and lovable even off-cam?"

"What?! This is ridiculous! If my PAs want to quit their job, then they can go ahead! I don't mind! I can find a lot of other girls who are more than willing to be my personal assistant!" he boasted as he stood up.

What a cocky young man, "Where do you think you're going Gray?"

"I'm going to look for my phone so I can call Wendy. I haven't talk to her for days." He said as he walked away, putting his hands in his pocket.

"If you're looking for your phone, it's right there on that table." She pointed out the desk next to him.

He then reddened and looked onto another direction out of embarrassment, "The-then I'll go out to look for a new PA."

"There's no need for you to do that."

"Huh?" he turned around.

"Even though Levy left her job, she also recommended someone."

"Eh? Who might that be? I'm telling you Erza, I don't want a crazy, obsessed fan!"

"Don't worry. According to Levy, the girl she recommended is a fan of yours, but not a crazy, obsessive one." She smiled.

"Laxus-nii! We're back!" I shouted as I opened the door.

"Oh!" he then took the small bags I carried.

"You should've helped Natsu! He's the one carrying the large ones!"

He leered, "That's fine! Natsu's a tough guy, he can handle it alone."

I rolled my eyes, and then decided to help Natsu.

"By the way, Lucy? Why does it look like you bought fewer items than before?"

"Well, prices are increasing now. I think if we want to bring back the number of materials we used to buy, I should probably get a job."

"What?!" the both of them bellowed.

"I can't let my little sister work! Don't worry, I'll find a part time job!"

"Yeah, Luce. I think you should just let Laxus work."

"Will you two stop treating me like a child? I'm already at legal age now, I can take care of myself" I reasoned out. I know they are just trying to protect me, but there will come a time when they won't be right by my side. It's about time I learn things on my own.

"Lu-chan!" a petite girl called out to me.

"Le-Levy? What're you doing here?! I thought you're working as Gray's—"

"Yeah. I was." She breathed. "I quitted."

"But why? So now, you're jobless?"

"Well, I resigned because I… I have reasons." she forced a smile, "Right now, yes, I am jobless. But I found a company which is hiring writers so I'm going to apply for that tomorrow!" she grinned.

"A company which hires writers? How 'bout the both of us apply for it? I'm kinda in need of a job right now…" I heaved a sigh.

"Lucy!" the guys shouted once again.

"Will you two stop it? Whether you like it or not, I'll get a job!"

"Well, about that, I actually…" I saw her playing with her fingers, avoiding eye contact with me, "I actually already have recommended you as Gray's new personal assistant…" she softly mumbled.

None of us really reacted to what she said. I think it took us about a minute before the words registered in our brains. And then I, Natsu, and Laxus, simultaneously screeched,

"Whaaaaaaat?!"
