Her Hidden Powers

Chapter 11: Surprises

A few months have past and Gray was walking down the street towards the guild. He just left Lucy's place after another fun night. They still had not gone any further than 3rd base, but Gray did not mind. He knew Lucy wanted to take things slower, because they hadn't been together long before doing what they have done so far, behind closed doors. For Lucy it was a big step to allow Gray to take her virginity, so, she just needed time. Gray understood and honestly, he was just happy that she was his. They could never do another thing sexually, and he would be fine with that. As long as she stayed his. Recently he had realized just how much he was in love with her. Feeling like he suddenly wanted to do something nice for he stopped walking, looked around at the shop fronts he was by, and then saw a bunch of multi-colored twinkling lights. Walking towards the lights, out of curiosity, he realized they were not lights. What had drawn him in was actually a bunch of jewellery that had sparkled and shined, do to the sun being directly on them. One design caught hi eye in particular. It was a slender silver chain with 2 delicate hearts intertwined and covered in small gems. On heart was slightly larger than the second one. He loved it butt eh heart colors where all wrong, green and orange, yuck. It may have been wishful thinking, but he made his way inside to see if he could get a custom one made.

"Hello! Welcome to Sparkling Desire jewellers, how can I help you today?" A very beautiful brunette, with a slender frame and full chest, asked Gray as he entered. She eyed him up as if she was going to devour him. He didn't even notice or pay attention to her though.

"Ummmm... yes" He said awkwardly, making the employee swoon,"I was wondering if you can customize and item I saw displayed in your window over there? I love the design but the colors are all wrong."

Forcing a smile, because she could tell this was for someone he held dear to his heart, she walked over to the window display, Gray tagging along behind her. "We can customize some of the items. Which item over here did you want customised?" She inquired with a gentle smile, pointing to the different displays.

"Oh, the heart necklace on the end. I love the silver chain and design, But I was wondering if I could have the larger heart in black gems and the smaller one in a light blue gem?" He asked, with a tinge of blush on his cheeks and his right hand scratching the back of his head.

"That is lovely, we can defiantly do that for you. You have one lucky partner." The lady exclaimed and she went over to her check out counter and pulled out a paper. "I just need you to fill out the details on this paper, along with your info. Also, the payment will be made when you pick the item up. The price for this specific custom work is going to be a little pricey on top of the cost of the necklace, bring the total to 1500,000 J. It will also take about 2 weeks, give or take a few days, to finish the order. Any questions?" When finished she looked at the shocked Gray.

" 150,000 . . . . um . . . wow. yeah, that is fine." His facial features softened. " My girlfriend is worth this and more. I just never bought a girl jewellery so I had no idea it was this expensive. With Valentines day in 3 weeks, this is perfect timing." He chuckled as he started filling out the paperwork. Smiling to himself, thinking about how much Lucy would love this.

After walking out of the shop and waving bye to the brunette, he made his way to the guild. He was proud of himself, but it was short lived knowing he would have to hustle and do as many jobs as he would to get he money he needed and to have some extra. He wanted to take Lucy out on a nice date and give that necklace to her as a way to express his love. Not wanting to be bombarded with questions as to why he was smiling to himself, the ice wizard put on a straight face, and entered the guild. He immediately saw his gorgeous blonde girlfriend happily talking to her Short blue haired friend, Levy. A smile nearly crept onto his face, as he waved to familiar faces he passed by. He wrapped his arms around the blonde, startling her and making her friend laugh.

"Gray! You scared the shit out of me." She was clutching her chest and trying to calm her breathing.

"I was trying so hard to keep a straight face when I saw Gray sneak up on you." Levy was saying between laughing fits.

"Sorry my love, I didn't try to. You just didn't pay attentions to your surroundings, so you didn't see me coming." Gray chuckled as he held is hands up, as if showing he was innocent. "By the way, I need to go on a few jobs. So, I am going to be real busy the next few weeks. I'm sorry ahead of time." Lucy had turned to face him at this point. Levy was grinning, knowing why he all of a suddenly needed money. He was going to get Lucy something special or do something special. Levy didn't want to ruin whatever the surprise was, so she kept these thoughts to herself. She would play dumb if Lucy brought it up.

With a slight pout at hearing the news from her sexy man she pouted "Awwww why? Not fair. Do you have too?"

"Yes, I will tell you why later. For now, I have to go pick a job. Don't worry, I will pick easy ones so I am to gone too long." With that, he leaned in and gave her forehead a little peck. Hoots and whistles erupted at this. His guild mates were not used to seeing this softer side of Gray, it was still shocking to some, but that didn't stop them from picking on the poor boy.

Cheeks turning more scarlet than ever he walked over to the request board, found an easy job a few hours away. Take down a thief for a really well-off couple, who lived in a nice mansion, and in a nice area. The job paid 90,000J, giving him a good start towards his goal of 250,000J. He could get that necklace and take Lucy out for a nice date with that kind of money. Walking over to Mira, he showed her the job flyer, nodding she wrote something down in a book. Giving Lucy a quick drive-by kiss on the lips, he hurried out of the guild. Whistles and hooting from the hall, slowly getting quieter.

Lucy watched her sexy man leave, then turned to Levy suddenly. "Levy, can you please help me?

The script mage raised an eyebrow and cautiously responded "Yeeeesssss. . . . is everything ok?"

"Oh yea, I just want to do something special for Gray and need your help." Lucy was already putting on her coat, paying for her drink she had, and adjusting her clothes. "Valentines day is in 3 weeks and I want to do something special." She leaned into whisper into Levy's ear " I think I am ready to, ya know . . . do THAT with him. So, I want to find some sexy lingerie." Lucy pulled away shyly looking down and blushing. Levy was equally as blushing.

"Lucy, I was thinking the same thing for Gajeel." The blue haired friend admitted. Blushing so hard, Erza's hair looked a lighter shade of red.

Lucy squealed, excited for her friend, grabbed her arm and ran out of the guild. The 2 mages talked excitedly as they walked thought eh street. They were talking about all the things they both had done so far, the things they wanted to do and other girly business. Finally they came to a light pink shop front. It had interact designs around the windows and door reminding you of lace. The sign above was written in a fancy cursive reading Private Affair. Mannequins in the window displayed a bunch of sexy and revealing lingerie for Valentines day. The pair blushed and giggled as the blond open the door, they stepped inside, their jaws on the floor. The girl's were excited, they had been secretly doing a bunch of extra jobs to save money, they could finally get some secret surprises for their boyfriends. Levy got a dark chrome looking set, with a little bit of black detailing on it. The set had a bra and bikini style bottoms. Now, Lucy had to find something. She gravitated to a VERY sexy set, it made her blush just looking at it. The set was all black, with a transparent lace and mesh bra and a delicate lace . . . .thong. She never wore thongs because she was always fighting people and wanted to be comfortable in a skirt. So, she always wore bikini styled underwear, it was still cute though. This was totally different though. Knowing this would make Gray's jaw drop and pants tighten she decided to get it.

Leaving the store, each girl with a small pink bag that read Private Affair. They were giggling, and made their way into another store than should dresses, called simply Elegance. They wanted to find a sexy outfit for the night, something that would be distracting to their men the entire time they hung out. Something that made the men want to end the night early and drag them to bed. Levy found a nice black dress that went all the way to the floor. It had an extremely high slit up the thigh, almost being able to shoe off your underwear. It was sleeveless and had a deep plunging neck line with a few thin strips of black fabric going across (this would help hide her bra), and expose her belly button. Lucy found a mid thigh electric blue satin dress. It was sleeveless also, had a heart shaped bust, black lace ran along the bust edge and the bottom along a small slight that went up her thigh. The slit also almost exposed her underwear. She grabbed a thin, little, lac, black garter that laid across her thigh just under the dress hem. She would wear a black lace choker with it she though.

Finishing their purchases the girls walked out with their second bag for the night. Lucy all of a sudden had an AMAZING idea. She grabbed her friends hand and ran down the street excitedly. She remembered a dancing and fitness studio had just opened up near by. It was a fast growing trend that was popping up all over Fiore. Once inside the hot pink and black building,Lucy went up to the counter. Levy still looking confused.

"Hello and welcome to Allure! How can I help you?" A kind looking red head asked from behind a counter. She must have been around the girls ages.

"Yes, I was wondering there were any pole dancing courses my friend and I can take? We want to be able to surprise our men for Valentines day coming up" Now realizing what Lucy was doing Levy blushed as bright as the interior hot pink walls.

"Actually, there is a Valentines day special class that is going on now for just that. A lot of women want to do something special for their partners on that day, so we made a class up that will show you a few dance moves for a chair and a pole. There are poles here for purchase that you can set up in your home to practice on your free time too." Without needing any more information, Lucy signed both the girls up and got them poles. Levy didn't get a chance to say no. "Excellent! Tomorrow night you can start. Come in wearing comfy clothes. I suggest booty shorts and tank top. You want to feel comfy, but sexy too. IT helps get he dances down better. We will see you then."

The girls walked out with their new poles. bags, and huge grins. "I can't believe you signed us up for those classes" Levy beamed.

"The guys are not going to know what hit them!" Lucy said with determination. "WE have just one more stop."

Lucy dragged an embarrassed Levy into a shop front along a less travelled part of town. Inside sex toys were positioned EVERYWHERE. The girls blushed and went exploring, trying to find something little for their men. Nothing too crazy, they were still both virgins after all, so they didn't know what they would even get. Lucy wanted to get a pair of black fuzzy handcuffs and levy wanted to get a black leather riding crop that Gajeel would enjoy using on her. They left with their purchases in black bags, a little shy about their purchases. Pulling away from a quick good bye hug they girls went back to their house. Lucy hid her new items under her bed.

For the next few weeks the girls went to classes every night and practised at Lucy's house during the day. They took odd jobs here and there to make sure they had rent money and make sure they have extra money for anything else. Gray had been working tirelessly, but the few times when they did get to hang out, Lucy convinced him to go to his place. It was a nice change of pace, but Gray felt something was amiss. It was probably nothing, so he didn't let it bother him.

Three weeks came and went quickly. The girls had gotten REALLY good. Their teachers were actually surprised and let them learn a few advanced things on the pole. Gray had made arrangements for Valentines. Not being used to doing things like this, he could not think of what to do. So, he got a reservations at the most fancy restaurant in town, then he asked an elderly couple he did a job for if he could use their garden, which they happily let him. They had a mansion on the edge of town that had a beautiful rose garden with a marble gazebo, he was going to give her the necklace there and a kiss. He didn't know what else to do, but also figured he wanted to leave time for |other things" that night too. At one point, during a fight with some bandits, Gray got punched and caught off guard because he was thinking about what would possibly happen that night.

The day had finally come. Lucy was confident and ready to show her love her new tricks and he was excited seeing her necklace that he just picked up. It looked perfect, exactly what he pictured. Gray was not ready for the night ahead.
