Ok I was supposed to write a new chapter a few days ago, but I was so distracted about the latest OnePiece chapter 731, and decided to write a story about them instead. LOL! Still thinking if I will publish it or not...
Well anyway I'm ready for GrayZa again! So here is chapter 25 :)
Levy woke up with a terrible headache. "Oh my head..." She grunted as she sat up from bed. As she opened her eyes, she noticed she is not in her house, she looked around the old looking room. She then noticed a man beside her, long black hair, muscular, and naked. "Oh God!" she almost screemed. Then she noticed that she is naked as well, covered by just a piece of blanket. She slowly stepped out of the bed trying not to wake up the guy.
As she stood up, but then there is a loud bang from the door and suddenly it opened. This caused the guy to wake up and sat up immediately. At the door, a blue haired woman glared at her, "Who the hell are you!?"
"Juvia?" Gajeel got up while holding his head, he didn't even bother covering up. "What are you doing here?"
Levy's eyes grew wide as she stared at Juvia. She then shifted her sight to Gajeel who by that time also looked at her, "Aren't you gonna cover up or something?" She asked Gajeel and blushed heavily. "Uh where is the bathroom?"
Gajeel pointed to the right and Levy went in the bathroom. She looked at Juvia before going inside. 'Why is Juvia here? and how the hell did I ended up sleeping with that...with that sexy guy... Am I thay drunk at the wedding?!'
Juvia blushed as she stared at Gajeel's body, "What?" Gajeel asked as he picked up a pants.
"Who is that? Why is she here?!" She asked angrily.
"Geez why are you angry anyway?" Gajeel answered but decided not to tell Juvia that he met Levy at the reception of Laxus' and Mira's wedding. "And her? Well it seem to be obvious that she is someone who I just had sex with".
Juvia's eyebrows almost touched each other, she was really pissed, "SEND HER AWAY NOW!"
"What the hell is your problem Juvia!?"
"I am the only one who have the right to use..." Juvia shouted and almost teary eyed.
"To use what Juvia? To use me? Doesn't your beloved Gray do you?!"
"He.. He doesn't seem to be interested..." Juvia's tears fell down. But then looked up at Gajeel, "I own you Gajeel!"
By that time Levy is already dressed and went out of the bathroom. "Uh I should be leaving..." She said as she went out.
Gajeel wanted to follow her but Juvia stopped him. "I own you! Never forget that!"
He became frustrated by not even able to get Levy's number, and he doesn't even remember her name, all he knew is that she works for Mira. He looked back at Juvia without saying anything, he just pulled her to bed and ripped off her dress. He did what she wanted him for. But this time without even a hint on his face that he enjoyed it.

"Hey guys let's go!" Lucy shouted while at Mira's house. Today they are going to the beach as a welcome back celebration for Erza and as a continuation of Mira and Laxus' wedding.
Erza went down from her room, "Where's Natsu?"
"He's in the car with Gray and Cana..."
"Oh..." Lucy noticed that Erza is having second thoughts after finding out that Gray is coming.
Lucy approached her and placed her hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, she is not invited!"
"She's not invited at my wedding yet she is there!" Mira interrupted.
"Hey little guy!" Erza talked to the baby, "this will be your first beach party! Lets make things fun...and memorable!"
"So is everyone ready yet? Where is your husband? Levy even got here before him!" Lucy asked Mira.
Mira blushed, "I'm still not used in calling him my husband. He's just getting our stuff ready!"
"Oh hey Erza is your Friend coming?"
"Uh he went out this morning, he said he is meeting a friend he met online", Erza explained.
"That's kinda weird..."

They went to the beach which is just an hour from Magnolia. In Lucy's car was Natsu, Gray, and Cana. With Mira and Laxus are the baby, Erza, and Levy. Evergreen and Elfman together with their kids are in another.
At the beach, Lucy and Erza immediately change into their swimsuits, Lucy is wearing a light blue two piece, and Erza wore a dark red two piece, just a bit darker red than her hair. The boys are in their boardshorts.
Mira and Laxus stayed at the nipa hut with their baby with Evergreen and Levy cooking some roasted pork while Lucy and Erza relaxed on the beach. Natsu, Gray and Elfman are have their skimboards and played at the shore.
"Have you talked to Erza yet?" Natsu asked Gray.
He shook his head, "I want to but..."
"But what? Juvia?" Elfman said after coming back from the water.
"Come on! I dont care about her...I'm just thinking about the baby, you know..."
"She's leaving tomorrow night, dont you think that you guys should talk before she does?"
"Tomorrow already?!" Gray slightly shouted in surprise.
Natsu and Elfman just nodded. Gray looked at Erza from afar and started to look sad.
"Hey lets go ask the others play volley!" Natsu suggested.
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Team A composed of Mira, Laxus, Natsu, and Lucy while Team B are Gray, Erza, Elfman and Evergreen. Levy is the one looking after the baby.
Erza us the first one to serve. She directed the ball toward the one who she thinks is the least competitive in sports from the other team, and that would be Lucy. As expected she was startled by the ball and end up avoiding it, one point for Team B!
"Uh you are supposed to hit the ball not run from it..." Natsu explained to Lucy.
Lucy's eyes were on fire when she looked at Natsu, "I know how the game works!"
Another serve for Erza. She held the ball up and hit it...again, towards Lucy. Lucy tried to hit the ball but at the last moment, she ended up running away from it again. Erza had an evil smirk on her face, so does her team mates. "Let's keep this up and we'll win without even a sweat dripping from my head!" Evergreen said.
"We'll loose for sure..." Laxus whispered to Mira.
And Erza served again, towards Lucy as usual. But when she trued to hide, Mira went to her place and hit the ball, sending it back to the otherside of the net. But Elfman was able to hit it back to them. Natsu tried to hit it but he hit it too hard sending it outside the court. 3 points for Team B, 0 points for Team A.
"What?!" Natsu yelled.
And for the fourth time, Erza served. This time Laxus caught it and sent it back with a spike toward thesand betwen Elfman and Gray, but they were not able to save it.
"Yeah! We had a point at last!" Lucy screamed.
"They are still leading thanks to you..." Laxus mutered but luckily, Lucy did not hear it.
"Shhh! Laxus!" Mira scolded her husband.
"It's true!"
Mira glared at Laxus and by that he just walked toward his place in the court to avoid Mira's sharp glares.
It's Lucy's turn to serve. She was thinking that she will not let the other team acquire another point. She held the ball up, with full confidence, she hit it toward the other side of the net, she wanted to send it toward Erza so she can avenge herself but she was not able to do so. The ball flew from her hand, toward the net, got caught in it and caused another point for Team B.
5 points Team B, 1 point Team A. It's Gray's turn to serve. Threw the ball up and spiked it towards Lucy, but Natsu caught it sending the ball upward but didn't make it to the ither side, Mira hit it again toward Team B. Evergreen caught it and sent it back but it was sent to Natsu who tossed it to Laxus for a powerful spike between Gray and Erza.
"Mine!" They both said in unison, they thought that the other would give way but no...They bumped into each other hard, sending the ball outside the court and both of them falling down to the ground. Erza was lying on the ground while Gray on top of her.
Everything seemed to be in slow motion. They looked at each other's eye for what seemed to be a long time, until they realized their position. Gray quickly got up, "I'm sorry!" He apologized as he scratched his head. Erza got up too, and pretended nothing happened. But they cannot hide the red tints on their cheeks.

Team B won with a score of 15-4. Lucy got tired running away from the ball so she decided to go and take a bath. Everyone else were tired so they decided to eat what Ever and Levy were cooking earlier. They were laughing as they told stories while eating.
"Um Gray, Natsu and I will go to the grocery. You should just ride with Mira," Lucy told him when tbey are about to go home.
"We are?" Natsu asked who is obviously was not aware of Lucy's plan. He didn't really like going to the grocery with Lucy.
Lucy elbowed him on his stomach, "Yes we are, we talked about this last night!"
"Ok..." Gray answered and headed to Mira's car. "Hey can I ride with you guys? Thise two seemed to have a date sothey are sending me away..."
Mira smiled thinking that its a chance for him and Erza to catch up, "Sure Gray!"
Levy noticed her boss' plan so she decuded that she would just go with Ever and Elfman, "Boss I'lll ride with your brother, my house is nearer theirs".
Mira agreed and Gray went on tbe car. He sat next to Erza. "Hey can you guys carry jr for a while?"
Erza took the baby. She and Gray played with him. "You know, you guys look like a happy family!" Laxus told them while looking at the rear view mirror. Both of them blushed again.
They reached the mansion and Mira asked Gray to stay for a while. "I heard you're leaving tomorrow?"
Erza nodded, "the training is not yet done, two more months".
There was an awkward silence between them after that. "Why didn't you tell me? You know...that night I came to your apartment, you didn't tell me you were leaving..." Gray finally asked after 10 minutes of silence.
Erza bowed her head, "I needed time to think... I know you wouldn't let me go if I told you".
Gray sighed, "I guess you're right...And you seem happy now, specially with your new boyfriend..."
"My boyfriend?"
"Yeah. Simon, he's your boyfriend right?"
Erza laughed lightly, "You believed on what Juvia said huh?" She said sarcastically while giggling, "Simon... he is not my boyfriend... He is gay!"
Gray's eyes widened and his jaws dropped, "no, are you...seriously? That big tough looking guy?"
Erza smiled, "Yes he is gay. The one he came to meet is his boyfriend he met online!"
They then continued talking about everyting. From Cana, to Lucy and Natsu, even about Juvia and Jellal.
"Um Erza, can I... can I accompany you to the airport tomorrow?"
Erza looked at him, "Will it be ok to Juvia? I dont want to cause any trouble..."
"We are not together, I just see her for the baby..."
Erza nodded. They caught each other's eye, slowly they start to move closer... Their lips almost touched, until Mira came in and they just parted away.

Meanwhile Levy, Elfman and Evergreen are driving home. They decided to take Levy home first.
"Gray and Erza really look good together", Elfman utteted, "specially earlier, did you guys see that?!"
"Yes we did hon!" Ever answered, "Damn that Juvia, if it weren't for her, I bet those two are now married!"
'Juvia...' Levy thought. "Oh!" She screamed.
"What?!" Evergreen yelled back.
"Oh God I just rememberd something! Why did it slip my mind the whole day!?"
"Probably coz you got a hang over from yesterday", Elfman suggested, "what is it anyway?"
"Well you see, that guitarist guy from Laxus' pub... I ended up sleeping with him, and I dont even remember how it happened." Levy blushed.
"You what!?" The husband and wife yelled together.
"But its not about that!" Levy explained, "this morning I woke up in his apartment, then Juvia arrive... I did not clearly hear what they were talking about because I was pre occupied on what happened between me and that guy...but I heard her say something like she was angry that Gajeel slept with me..."
"Why does she even care about that?" Elfman asked.
"And why is she even there that early, what time was that Levy?"
Levy shook her head, "I'm not sure, 5:00 AM I think?"
"Something fishy is going on..."
"We have to investigate," Elfman said.
