a/n: I would just like to remind everyone that the fairy tail characters here in my story are in their mid 20's to their 30's. Some scene might be awkward if they will be in their age in the manga :) Gray and Erza are both 27 here and Wendy is 21. Thanks!
BTW thanks Bella-Romeo for your continued patronage :)

Erza slowly opened her eyes, feeling a terrible headache, scanned the area where she is at, 'I am not in our room? Why the hell did I sleep in the living room?' She slowly pulled herself to get up and realized someone sitting at the edge of the couch where she was sleeping, 'and what is Gray doing here...' she slowly realized how drunk she was last night and she remembered that she was crying, with Gray although her memory was patchy. Gray slowly opened his eyes, "Hey." Erza said
"Hey," replied Gray, "sorry the girls' room is locked when we got here so..."
Erza cut him off, "It's ok...so why didn't you sleep in your room?"
Gray scratched the back of his head, "I just thought that you might need some company, and I just can't let my boss sleep in the couch while I have a nice sleep in my bed."
Erza laughed. "oh pls mr gentleman..." she said sarcastically.
"It's nice to see you laugh," 'did I just say that' Gray thought. Erza looked at him curiously, "well I mean, this is the first time you laughed that you seemed happy. You know, since we went off on a bad start."
Erza closed her eyes and bowed her head, "Gray pls do not mention last night to anyone..."
"I wont," Gray declared. "so do you want to go and get breakfast?"
Erza smiled, "only if you pay for it."
"What!" Gray sreemed, "just kidding, it's on me, come on"
Erza stood up excitedly, Gray noticed the genuine smile she is giving him, 'she looks so beautiful with that happy face...wait, what?'. "I'll just clean up for a while, I smell like a drunkard." Erza said, "you should take a bath too, you look smelly" she laughed loudly as she went to go and take a shower. She tried to open their room's door, but it was locked just as Gray said earlier. Well she had the key in her pocket so she was able to open it. As she entered the room, she noticed that Wendy is missing, 'must have gone out early,' she thought and she went straight for a bath. Gray did the same at the boys' room. Everyone was still sleeping due to partying the previous night.
At the coffee shop, Erza ordered her usual coffee, bacon and egg, and a slice of cheesecake. "So you like cheesecakes?" Gray asked.
Erza just nodded and smiled and looked at what Gray ordered: brewed coffee, sausage with egg and rice, and pancakes. "So you believe in heavy breakfast is the best?" She said jokingly.
"As you can see Miss Scarlet, breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
The two of them are giggling and having small talks when they noticed Erza's apprentice walk in, with someone she did not expect to be with her. Looked at her watch, its just 7:30 am, "It's too early for a date." she whispered
Gray turned to see Wendy and Doranbolt. "I saw them last night together."
Erza was surprised about this and remembered that she did not see Wendy in their room earlier, "Oh don't tell me she spent the night with him?"
"What? how can you say that?"
"I'm just saying, I am not acusing het that she dud though," Erza explained, "Wendy was not in the room earlier."
Gray was so surprised, "Shhh... pretend that we didn't see them, here they come."
Wendy walked up to their table with Dorandbolt, "Erza, Gray! Its nice to see you two here, its nice that you start to get along," Wendy giggled. "Um Gray you know Doranbolt already right? and I am sure Erza you know each other."
"Well you two do also seem to be getting along very well too," Gray said while smirking.
Wendy and Doranbolt both blushed as they looked at each other. Erza stood up, "Goodmorning Wendy, and of course, Sir Doranbolt. An early date?"
The two are almost as red as Erza's hair. "I can see that to both of you as well?" Doranbolt said to get out of the awkward situation.
Gray blushed, but Erza was ready to answer, "I'll admit if you admit as well," Erza giggled slightly.
Wendy just cut off their conversation to avoid a certain truth that she was not ready to tell Gray and Erza"Oh Doranbolt can we have breakfast already? I'm starving!"
Doranbolt got what Wendy meant and made their way to be excused from the situation...
"So you think they spent the night together?" Gray asked Erza as Wendy and her new friend walked to a far table.
Erza glared at him, "let it go Gray, time will tell the truth. Let's just wait."
As they finished their breakfast, they said goodbye to Wendy and Doranbolt at their table. Also reminded Wendy of the photoshoot at 1:00. They decided to stroll for a while, Gray got his camera and they were taking pictures of the beatiful scenery. As they stopped at a park, Erza sat on the grass, again as the last photoshoot with Baccus, Gray found himself taking pictures of Erza secretly. This time he got caught, instead of his expectation that Erza will kill him, she started to take his pictures too. Both of them had fun. About 10:00 they went back to their cottage. Everybody is already awake, Wendy is also back from her date. All are curious that these two who seemed to hate each other so much is now in good terms. This made them happy.
Today's shoot was the wedding gown shoot. They will be at the cathedral for this shoot. Gray, Evergreen, Elfman and Toby were the first ones to go to the cathedral to set up. Wendy and Cancer went to Juvia to fix her hair. Bisca and Max went for Baccus' make up first. Erza went to Baccus' cottage before Bisca and Max to that he is ready for today. Then she went to Juvia with Wendy and Cancer to inform her about the shoot. As their different teams do their jobs. Erza rode a taxi to follow Elfam and the others at the cathedral to make sure that they are doing things right.
The cathedral group was running smoothly as Baccus's group arrived. Then Juvia's trailer arrived. Bisca immediately went there to put on her make up. Erza made sure that rhe rain lady does not stress them out this early. Back at the cathedral, Gray was nervous knowing that he will see Juvia today because of what happened last night.
"You look nervous" Max told Gray.
"Well you see..." Gray told him about the event between him and Juvia the previous night.
"What?!" Max who joined the conversation shouted, "Oh man you are so lucky!"
"I do feel lucky but I don't know," Gray seemed confused, what should he feel? He should feel great, how can he not be, one of the most beautiful actresses is flirting with him. "maybe she's just drunk last night."
Max raised an eyebrow, "Well it can be, that party last night was so-so..."
"Yeah tell me about how great it was?" Toby said, "I passed out early! I did not even enjoy anything. Thanks to that drunkard Baccus!"
The boys laughed out as they continued to make fun of each iother while doing their jobs. Evergreen and Elfman were also helipng them but they have a conversation of their own.
Back at Juvia's trailer. Erza was there supervising as Bisca puts make up on Juvia. As she finished, Erza and Wendy assisted her to out on the wedding gown. As they finished, they went straight to the cathedral. Juvia saw Gray talking to Baccus and getting him ready for the shoot, "Hey handsome, nice seeing you again."
Max and Cancer's jaws dropped as they heard what Juvia said. Erza raised an eyebrow, 'so they met?' Most of the crew gave Gray a confused look, and some were in so much awe.
Gray glimpsed at Erza, he saw the glare she was giving him and looked back to Juvia. He gulped, "Nice to see you too Miss...so can we start the photoshoot?" he immediately diverted the conversation to avoid the awkward situation he is in right now.
They started to photoshoot. As expected of the famous actress, she started to have tantrums. Shouting at her assistant Coco. She asked for a 30 minute break for reaons like she is tired and she needs retouch of make up. "Coco! go and get me wine!" She shouted.
Coco immediately run to the trailer. By that time Wendy was passing by, she saw the assistant crying, "Hey are you ok?"
Coco immediately wiped the tears off her face, "I-i'm fine, don't worry yourself Miss."
"Why do you let her do that to you?"
The little assistant was surrised about Wendy's concern, "What do you mean by that? She is Juvia Loxar, she have the right to do this, since I am nobody"
"Well you are not nobody, if it weren't for you or her manager, I bet she can't survive a day."
This made Coco smile, "Thank you... someday I will get out of this job." and she ran back to deliver Juvia's wine
"Are you ready yet?" Jet, Juvia's manager asked.
Juvia gave him a glare, "can't you see that I'm still drinking this wine!" she said as she sipped through her cup, "Can you call that photographer to come over? After that we'll continue the shoot"
"Jeez!" Jet said under his breath and went to Gray, "Hey Sir, Miss Loxar would like to talk to you if you have a minute?"
"Oooh what could that evil woman want from Gray?" Evergreen teased.
"Shhhh Ever don't talk like that!" Elfman said as he covered Ever's mouth
Gray scratched the back of his head, "Um Mr. Jet, seriously, can I refuse?"
Jet did not expect that from Gray, "You might be the first guy to do that...and I'm not sure what will happen after I tell her that you don't want to." Jet was very worried.
"She might pull out from the shoot Gray," Max warned him, "and then Erza will kill us for that...and the more scary thing is after we are dead, Miss Mirajane will kill us again if we blow this project."
"How can she kill us when we are already dead?" Gray said, "and come on, the boss loooks so angelic, are you sure she is capable of that?"
Max, Toby with Evergreen and Wendy just looked at him, as if serious about Mira killing them... "You haven't felt the wrath of the she-devil, you'll be sorry if you do," Evergreen said making him a bit nervous.
"Tch fine, I'll go see Ms Loxar." Gray then went to see what Juvia needs, 'I admit, she is really beautiful...but what an attitude. Are all celebrities like that? Baccus is a nice guy disregarding the drinking habit, man he really reminds me of that witch Cana' he thought as he approached Juvia, "You called for me Miss?"
"Yes, Gray is your name right?" Gray nodded, "whould you give me company at dinner?"
'Is she asking me out?' Gray hesitated, he wanted to but the attitude teally pisses him off. But then he remembered that Juvia might walk out from the project and they'd all be dead, "Um can I check my schedule first? I'll inform you later if I can."
"Are you rejecting me?" she looked mad
"What? no of course not. I'm just gonna check if I have something more impirtant to do."
"Is there anything more important than me?!" She is now really angry.
'whoa, she is acting like a possessive girlfriend we barely knew each other' he thought, "I guess my job is as important Miss, I need to edit the photos tonight"
"Then let someone else do it!"
the tension between them are starting to boil up. Gray really doesn't want to go to dinner with her, specially after all these. Erza came up, "Gray I'll do the editing"
Gray did not want her to, "its my job as the photographer."
Erza did not talk, 'he must really don't want to go', she thought.
"Gray please," Jet whispered, "We with might not have our jobs if she walks out of this project."
Gray then agreed with him. He told himself that Jet might be right, and what could he loose in a dinner with Juvia? Well maybe just some headache. As Gray told Juvia that he agree to have dinner with her, he saw Erza walking away, "Hey Erza," he called put. Erza turned to see him, "I'll come back immediately to help you with the editing."
Erza just smiled at him and turned around to walk away.
