Chapter 3
Gajeel shut the door of the motel room with a little more force than necessary. It rattled on its hinges in a dangerous manner but he paid it no mind. The dull green walls of the dingy room seemed like they were closing in on as they often did but he didn't mind it too much today. He was glad that he wouldn't need to stay here much longer and even though his sudden departure was more of a means to save his hide than an actual choice, he couldn't help be feel a little pleased. Discarding his leather jacket and t-shirt and other articles of clothing he entered the tiny bath for a much needed shower, leaving a trail on the floor behind him.
Drying his large mane of black was always a time consuming task but he didn't mind. In fact he regarded it with some revere; it had after all taken him nearly five years and a lot of resistance to badmouthing to grow it to its current length. A quick glance around the room told him that if he was planning to leave tonight he would at least have to tidy up a little after himself before he left to meet with lily for the last time.
The clock hanging off the wall read 10:45which meant he had good three hours before he had to head for Magnolia Park Residential Area. It was a 1.5 hours or so ride from here and them some half hour more on foot before he would reach. The motel and MPRA were literally all the way across town from each other but the distance was a necessary tool of diversion to throw off any prying eyes. And if he was completely honest with himself, the clam and openness of the place appealed to the restless turmoil in him. It was a nice change.
Packing his single duffle was surprisingly more difficult than Gajeel had expected considering he had changed 4 motels in the past month alone. Given the fact the his life style had been similar to that of a wandered for nearly the past year now it should have come more naturally to him but it never did.
He suspected that the problem lay within his organizing abilities. See, he knew from experience that simply stuffing all this belonging in his bag wouldn't work because he wouldn't be able to zip the bag up without the risk of breaking it but he did it anyway. He wasn't much of a cloth folder so he just tried out different combinations of stuffing until he got the right one. Also his stuff was scattered around the room, all over the floor, under the bed, in the bathroom, behind the couch, etc.
After a decent clean up job and a quick lunch Gajeel left for MPRA. The bike ride and grouling half hour walk later he found himself walking through the gates of the elite suburbs. As always he couldn't help but notice how the outside world was so different form this little section right here. He walked the familiar path down to the bench in front of the entrance of the huge park the houses were built around but stopped abruptly when he noticed a shorty blunette in his seat.
He sigh his annoyance. He usually found most of the benches they were not shaded my some gnarly old tree unoccupied at this time of the day but he quiet like that particular bench. He gritted his teeth and made his way past the dazed looking girl towards the next one in the row. If the girl hadn't seemed so disgruntle and helpless he might just have picked her up by the scruff and deposit her on the ground but let it slide this time.
"E...Excuse me!"
He was stopped in his track once again as a voice calling out from behind him. It was the girl he was sure. She had a soft timid voice to match her stature and also there was no one else around at the moment.
She was talking to him?
He turned to her with deliberated slowness and didn't say a word of acknowledgement when they where face to face. Neither did she. From the look of her wide eyes and gaping mouth seemed that she had lost the ability. His eyes followed her every frigidity movement .
"ah...um.."
"what?" he asked shortly with a deep scowl
This act alone made the girl shrink back and Gajeel scoffed inwardly.
What a shrimp
He raised a studded brow at her as she took a tentative step forward to steady herself and raise her chin in what he presumed she thought was a confident manner. In truth she just looked like a frazzled deer.
He rolled his eyes and prompted, "Spit in out, shrimp."
She puffed her cheeks at the insinuating nickname and gathered her nerves, "I need u to do me a favour!" She blurted out.
Gajeel stared at her expressionlessly at her for an indecently long time before he concluded that her hair was a slightly paler blue than that of the sky.
"Are u stupid?" he asked her plainly, "why in hell would I ever want to do u any favours?"
She furrowed her brows at him before looking around the mostly empty street. He noticed her gazed linger at the mini mansion to her left and then she looked down to check her watch.
"Well... it's more of a proposition then a favour." She said quietly before adding with a little more vehemence, "Besides you still have some time before your meeting with your companion so u might as well hear me out."
Gajeel's back went ramrod stiff. She watched as his eyes widen with something resembling apprehension and fear before flinching as a tight scowl pulled at his features. One that made him look ten times more terrifying then he normally did. He took a menacing step towards her and she took two backward to maintain the distance, startled at the sudden change in his demeanour.
"what are u talking about, little girl?" he asked harshly
Levy blinked up at him dumbly, "ahhh.." for the life of her she couldn't form coherent word with him looking about ready to kill her. It was fraying her nerves considerably.
"what do u know about me?" he barked as paranoia was getting the better of him.
She jumped a little and let out a startled yell, "nothing!"
Gajeel looked taken back and levy continued seeing his dumbfounded expression, "I've... seen u a couple of time...from my house." She jerked her thumb in the direction of the mansion.
He stared at her incredulously.
Understated
He knew that. She knew his timetable and it not just something u notice unless u pay special attention to it. He shook his head and his features softened slightly as he watched her wrangle her wrist nervously as she watched him.
"Alright kid..." he began with a sigh, "since I scared the crap out of u for no good reason I'll listen to what u have to say." He finished generously, surprising himself in the process. Normally he would have scared any brat off and carried on with his business but this one reminded him of a kitten. He likes kittens.
She looked at him with wide eyes before smiling slightly, then biting her lip to stop herself. Suddenly she looked scared, then dertermind and nervous all over again.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward with her chin tilted so she could look directly in his eyes.
"run away with me."
"WHAT!?" He nearly fell over.
