Title : HATE IT OR LOVE IT

CHAPTER 4

xx disclaimer : I don't own Fairy Tail or any of their characters, all of this own by the one and only the awesome Hiro Mashima.

xx pairings : Lucy x ? (I'm still thinking about it)

A/N: So now you guys know who is Jake's father right, like I said in the previous chappy. Its GRAY FULLBUSTER baby. Haha. I wanna make Gray's character a little bit like a 'douche bag', because it suits him really well. He has that arrogant-bad boy look on him. But still, don't we all love him.

Most of you guys wanted to make this story as a GrayLu, did you guys hate Rogue that much? Give the guy a break will ya. Haha, well I'm still thinking about it. I still haven't put Erza, Natsu and Sting in this. Trust me, I will put them somewhere. They're like the most important people on Fairy Tail right?!

Anyhow, THANK YOU again for those who read my story. Here's a little *kiss kiss* to all of you. You know you want it.

So moving on, but before that, I'm sorry if I'm using the wrong grammar and nonsense description.


LUCY'S P.O.V

Yesterday was fun, I'm having a blasted day hanging out with Ultear and my ex mother-in-law named Ur Malkovich. We girls- well women spend our days doing a little shopping, treatment at the spa, you know typical stuff. At first I was being a little hesitated on whether I should meet them or not. I even told Loke about Ultear's e-mail and stuff, well I asked his opinion on all of that,

FLASHBACK – two days after Lucy reading Ultear's e-mail –

This is it Lucy, you have to tell Loke. Maybe he knows what to do, my subconscious is being nice to me. Now that's weird but she's right. At the time like this, I need Loke.

Loke knows everything about my failed marriage before. He knew it from his mother. I remember him yelling at me on the phone for not inviting him to the wedding. Well, even his mother is not invited. Thank God, Aunt Susan is not angry at me too.

My wedding is not like a Cinderella dream thingy. It simple, very simple I tell ya and secretive too. Let's just say that it was a big mistake and I was young back then. You know, younger people always do stupid stuff and I was one of them. That's how I learned my lesson. We all learned something from mistake right. That's why, you should never ever go clubbing alone and got drunk.

Anyway, right now I'm standing in the middle of the living room. In front of me is Loke playing UNO cards with Jake on the couch while Aries is in the kitchen making some snacks for them I guess.

The girl, Aries is really a good hardworking girl. She's getting along well with Jake even with Emily. She even volunteered to drop Jake at school, which I don't mind. She also does some of the house works too. She's very shy though, she doesn't talk much but always apologizing. But I can see why Loke love her.

"Hey boys."

"Yes, I win. Loke, you suck at this. Oh hey mom." said my son while jumping on the couch. He just beat Loke and I can see Loke sulking on the corner of the room.

"Hey Loke, can I talk to you for a minute. It's really important."

I grab Loke's arm and drag him to my room. I don't want Jake or even Aries hears our conversation. Besides, now that Jake is busy eating the snacks that Aries made and Aries busy cleaning the kitchen, things getting easier this way.

"Okay no need to grab, hey Jake I want a rematch when I get back!"

As soon as we're in the room I close the door and pushed Loke to seat on the bed and I took a seat next to him while facing him.

"Lucy, why are you sweating like a pig?"

"Loke, we have a problem. Well, not we but I have a problem."

"What's wrong? Tell me."

"Ultear's coming to Magnolia along with Mest and Ur too."

"So, I don't see any prob- wait, noooo. What about 'him'?"

"I guess he's coming to. His family is opening a beach resort near the Magnolia beach. Did you know about this?"

"I think so, I think I read about it in the newspaper yesterday but I didn't think the Fullbuster clan would actually come. I heard that this new beach resort is going to be like a small branch for them. It's going to be very simple unlike their other grand hotels."

"Well, too bad, they're coming. And I'm worried about Jake."

After that, I find myself crying a little. Loke was quick enough to realize it and hugs me. He knew why I cry, I always cry every time I'm thinking about all of this, you know what if 'his' family found out about Jake? What if they wanted Jake and what if Jake found out and hated me for lying to him? What if everybody's mad at me? Even though this is for Jake's own good, but still sometime I feel bad for lying at the boy. He deserved the truth. The truth about his father, Gray Fullbuster.

Gray Fullbuster, same age as Loke. Ultear's one and only older brother. He is the kinda guys that get what he wants. Everything that he wanted, he will definitely for sure get it. That's how I stuck to married a 'douche bag' like him. But thank God, I signed those divorced papers. I still remember him yelling at me when I asked him for a break up. Well, he could go jump off the building for all I care.

"Don't you worry Lucy. You just go and hang out with Ultear. Just act natural. Maybe she won't suspect anything. Besides, it's not like they're staying here forever right?"

"Yeah, I hope so. Plus, I kinda missed Ultear and Ur though. But not Mest. Never would I miss that annoying Mest."

"Just relax okay. You got my back on this. If anything happen, just call me and I take Jake with me far away from this house. Also if Gray does something or trying to take Jake's away from you, I will personally get Laxus for you to beat him."

"You really are a pussy Loke. Seriously, Laxus?! Can't you fight for me?"

"Sorry Luce, I'm done with all the fights now. I'm a lover not a fighter. Besides you told me once before that, that Gray guy is good in boxing. I'm not and I cannot let my face being crush by his hand okay. I got a reputation to keep up."

"Reputation my ass. Stupid Loke."

With that we laugh so hard and both fell off the bed. My cousin is really a big pussy. Poor Aries, stuck with a guy like him. But, I am glad to have someone like him. Someone who I can always count on.

FLASHBACK END

So after the 'talk' I had with Loke, I decided to called Ultear and go out with her. Thank God, she and mother doesn't ask me about my love life or anything personal. We are having so much fun. They even said that they're not staying longer, just for a week I think. That's good news to me.

Speaking about love, it also has been a week since Rogue confessed to me and I still haven't given him the answer yet. Well, he's not in Magnolia right now. He has to go to this village name Rosemary I think doing a little charity work for a month. I'm going to miss him though.

I told Loke about that problem too. He's a good listener and can be a good counselor too. Sometimes, I guess. My so called love problem and this is what he said to me,

"Oh Lucy, I'm so happy for you that he finally confessed, I see the way he looks at you, treating you and moreover I always knew that he likes you more than a friend. I'm a guy so I just know that kinda thing. You should just accept him."

I also told Cana about that,

"I knew it. I knew he likes you. Lucy sweetie, you know nowadays is really hard to find a nice guy. Rogue IS the nice guy and besides, don't he and Jake get along well. Think about it."

Oh and also even Laxus want to joined in the conversation,

"Lucy, he is a great guy. And don't you worry, if he breaks your heart. You tell me and I'll break his bone. I already have the permission from Cana. Wow, when was the last time I'm breaking somebody's bone?"

And guess what, Mr Gildart Clive also want to butt in our conversations. By the way, he is Cana's dad and the owner of The Clive Diners. He's an amazing guy, my son and Loke looks up to him. I don't even know why. This is what he told me,

"My dear Lucy, the man Rogue Cheney is a very nice young man. I believe he can make you and Jake happy. I always consider you guys as my family too. So you got my permission to have a relationship with Rogue. Besides if he does anything inappropriate to you. I will personally 'crush' him."

Bless his heart for being so nice and scary. He's like a father figure to me, even though he can be little pervert sometime.

"Lucy."

One time, I caught him staring at Kinana's butt, his employee by the way. He even tried to flirt with her but Erik, Kinana's husband caught him and punches that old man in the face. It was hilarious.

"Lucy."

I think now I know why Loke idolize him. I mean he's a pervert and the man, Gildart Clive is like the bigger pervert. The man is the 'guru' of pervert. They always hang out together picking up girls. Their stupid womanizer thingy has rubbing off on Jake's now.

"LUCY HEARTFILIA!"

"YES! Oh Levy, hi. Sorry, didn't see you there."

By the way, I am currently at work now. The McGarden's Tuition Centre own by one of my best friends Levy McGarden.

Levy has the same age as I am, she has beautiful long blue hair. The hair actually suits her and it's a very good look on her. The first time I met her when I started to move in Magnolia, I didn't believe she was a teacher or a tutor. I didn't even believe she's an adult. She's small, I thought she was a high school student. She's the one invited me to work with her. She is also pretty damn smart. She's not married yet but I heard she has a little something-something going on with a certain someone.

"Are you thinking about Rogue again, Lucy?"

"NO I'M NOT!"

"Okay, no need to yell."

I find myself embarrassed at that. I cannot believe I just yelled at her after hearing Rogue's name. I don't know why I yelled. I can feel my face heat up a little bit.

"Lucy, do you like him?"

Here we go again. Why do people keep asking me that?

"Of course I do, he's my friend."

Rogue is my best friend and it is important for me to like him. So our relationships as friend will go smoothly.

That's not what she meant idiot, damn stupid subconscious. She's always there in my mind. Telling me this, telling me that.

"Not like that Lucy, I mean like him LIKE HIM for real, more than a friend?"

"I-I don't know."

"Lucy Heartfilia, as your best friend. I want you to be happy. So please make the right decision okay?"

**Knock knock** (door knocked)

Just when we are having a serious conversation about my so called love life, a young male student approaches us. At that time I felt like hugging him, you know as a thank you for interrupting because I don't want to discuss anymore about this 'Me and Rogue's problem'.

"Hello Miss McGarden, ma'am Heartfilia. Sorry for interrupting."

I kinda feel jealous to Levy that the students here always called her using 'miss' while for me they used 'ma'am'. I'm not that old you know, just because I have a son doesn't mean I like being called 'ma'am'. But maybe that just how they show respects to us, find by me.

"It's okay Romeo. What can we help with you?"

"Well, there's this guy downstairs. He said he wanted to meet you, ma'am."

Romeo's pointing at me. Who could be this 'guy' he's talking about? Could it be Rogue? No, they all know him. Not Loke too I guess. Maybe he's my prince charming perhaps?

Yeah, like that's going to happen, SHUT UP!

"How does he look? Did he said he know me or something?"

"He just said that he wanted to meet 'Lucy Heartfilia' and he has good looks too. He's tall, dark hair. Drove an 'Audi'. Looks pretty rich to me. Oh by the way, he even said he's not going anywhere until you meet him. It's not like I want shove him away or anything."

"Sounds pretty pushy and determine over there. Did you know someone like that Lucy?"

Tall, dark hair, rich, drove an 'Audi' and pushy. That's sound very familiar to me.

"Excuse me Levy, I think I will meet him. Romeo, thank you for telling me this."

With that, I rush outside the office. I even ignore all the students who greeted me. I even fasten my walks to see this 'pushy' guy.

What the hell did he come here for? How does he know where I'm working? This is bad. Really bad.

When I reach downstairs, I walk straight to the glass door and open it to see 'him'. And there he is the guy whom I used to married standing in front of his favorite 'Audi' and smiling like an idiot waving at me.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"


x x the end for chapter 4 x x

A/N: Haha, there you go folks. Cliffy there decided to show up and say 'Hi'. Say hi everybody. Sorry about that but I have to cut it.

So we got Levy in here and also the cutie pie, Mr Romeo himself. Don't worry, on the next chapter they will be more GrayLu 'bashing' moment. They're going to argue. Even I'm excited about that and can't wait. Haha. Thank you for reading.
