LUCY P.O.V
We all take a quick five minute walk to the local bar, and what I can tell clearly our company loves to party. This bar is well known throughout the company so much that you'll see Cana here right after work in her personal bar stool. I don't mind this at all since it's great to see my friends have fun outside of work, and I see Jellal trying to hold Erza's hand discreetly. They will always be adorable in my eyes, and since I was recently accused of having a relationship with him the pressure was off of me. Gray and I are following the lovely couple which by the looks that he's making I can tell he'll figure it out soon enough. I just don't understand why Erza wants to be so secretive with Jellal. Because he's a client? That makes no sense since she wasn't the one he hired or worked with there will be no conflict with our contracts.
"First round on me" Jellal says before we all enter the bar to see everyone cheering.
"ERZZZZZA! GRAYYYY! LUCCCCY!" Cana begins to shout as she chugs another three beers in a matter of seconds. "Ooooh JELLAL back again with Erza." She smiles and grabs a fourth beer.
"CANA!" Erza shouts as Cana slowly turns back towards the bar to get away from Erza's glares. Erza turns back around at us with a sweet smile "Alright Lucy and Gray, corner booth and we'll get the drinks." I saw a gleam in her eyes which left me a little queasy.
"Let's go Lucy before she starts planning something." Gray walks me over as I slide into the booth and Gray tries to sit on the other side.
"I think it's best if you sat next to me." He gave me a weird look and proceeded to sit on the other side. "You're going to wish that you didn't do that. " I said before Jellal and Erza came over with our drinks and SHOTS of what I think is tequila.
"Let's all take a shot before we start drinking!" Erza gladly said as she sat next to me. We all grab our shot because we know better to defy her. "TO LUCY ON HER FIRST DAY OF BEING INTERIOR DESIGNER!"
"CHEERS!" We all shouted before clink our shots then tapping the table before drinking it. It felt like pure alcohol going down my throat, but that's okay.
"Okay, so Lucy here's your vodka soda." I was handed my drink from Erza as she got a long island iced tea while the boys just got beers. It was time to start having fun because after the long day I had I needed this drink.
"SO how was the first day?" Jellal asked as his hand mysteriously disappeared from the table and I looked to Erza and her hand was gone too.
"It was good, and I took them to that hotpot place we go to all the time."
"Oh wow, I bet you guys were so confused." He turns to Gray as he is taking a drink of his beer.
"You have no idea, man. I thought she had lost her mind, but I have to admit it was a good place to eat."
"Well thank you, I'm glad I had Lucy help me come up with that concept for the restaurant. I would like to get more feedback about your whole experience." Gray looked over to me in awe.
"Wait, so you came up with this idea?" I nodded my head "And that's your restaurant?" Jellal nodded his head while Erza was just daydreaming probably what Jellal can make.
"You'll be surprised at what Lucy has brought to the table to multiple clients. She's a hard worker and comes up with the best concepts." Erza states before finishing her drink as I just try to wave it off.
"Damn Lucy, you got talent. I'll give you that and it explains why you know the place and Jellal well." Gray said before he took a quick drink then scanned the room.
"Yet you guys accuse me of dating Jellal." Both Jellal and Erza looked at me and sent a message through my eyes, yes they actually thought that. It was a quick moment of silence before we all started laughing. I started crying from this and Jellal grabbed my hand.
"No disrespect Lucy, but I already have one woman who has my heart." Jellal glanced over to Erza.
"None taken, I was just in disbelief when they said that." I moved my hand away from Jellal's and sat back. I took a deep breath.
"It's not my fault, it was because the flame brain was so insistent on finding that answer out." Gray defended himself before looking back to the bartender. "Can we get another round over here?"
"You got it!" The bartender said before making our drinks.
"Natsu, wanted to know if you were dating Jellal? And didn't he ask about Loki too?" Erza asked me, and I can't believe she already knows that. She wasn't even there when that happened.
"Don't forget that Natsu carried her from the restaurant before Lucy kicked him in the gut." Gray now adds things to the list before Erza shifts her eyes at me and I already know she's getting worried.
"Lucy, is there something to worry about?" I quickly put my hands up and nodded.
"NO! There's nothing to worry about." Other than the fact, we kissed and he drives me insane when we are alone. Other than that, there's nothing to be worried about, right?
"Okay good, so let's really start drinking now." She smiles as she grabs her second drink of many.
"Oh boy, that sounds like trouble. I'm in!" I shouted before putting my drink in the air. Gray and Jellal faces are the exact opposite of Erza's and mine.
AFTER FEW ROUNDS…
DRINK COUNT: ERZA- 5 & 3 shots LUCY- 3 ½ & 2 shots
"I JUST WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODYYYYYYYYYY" Erza and I start singing into our drinks while the waitress brought us some mozzarella sticks.
"FOOD!" I shouted before taking a bite as the cheese oozed out of the breading. I was now swaying with my mozzarella stick as my dance partner.
"Yes, you guys should have some food in your stomach." Gray pushes the basket towards us, and Erza now sings even louder as she takes off her coat.
"Scarlet!" Jellal is now trying to keep himself a little pink shade. "Put the shirt back on"
Clearly what I thought was her coat was her work shirt she must've unbuttoned two drinks ago. "Jellal relax she has a tank top on, I do too. See look" I proceeded to unbutton my shirt.
"Oh dear god, Lucy don't you dare!" Gray says but I can tell he's trying to keep a straight face. It was too late my shirt was off and I tossed it to Gray.
"I'm proving a point that we can be in tank tops in bars. I see three women come into the bar with less we have. DAMN IT!" Jellal is now fully looking away from us.
"YOU'RE RIGHT, LUCY!" Erza shouts before finishing another drink.
Gray leans in as so do I, "I think he's trying not to get distracted by Erza." I look over to see Jellal taking quick glances, but he begins to blush harder than the last time.
"Please Erza eat something before you drink anymore." As he slides the basket more towards her.
She gave him this sweet smile before saying " What if I want something else?" Her hand begins to go under the table.
Gray jumps up from the booth slapping both legs under the table "ERZA THAT'S MY LEG!" Pure terror is on Jellal's and Gray's faces as they realize what happened.
"Oops" Erza said before she joined me laughing again. "CAN WE GET SOME MORE DRINKS OVER HERE?"
"NO MORE DRINKING!" Both Jellal and Gray said in unison as we began to pout as the boys got up and settled things before we had to leave. Erza and I slowly got up and began to look for our stuff, but we turned around to see Jellal having Erza's stuff while Gray had mine.
"Are you ready to go Scarlet?" She wraps her arms around his neck before leaning in only a few inches away.
"Sure Jelly, anything you want tonight." Gray and I just try to look busy so Jellal doesn't catch us looking.
"Alright Gray, we're leaving now. I leave Lucy in your hands." Jellal walking out with Erza leaning on him.
"So they are together? Huh" I look at Gray before answering and he's smiling along me.
"Yeah, for the past few months from what I can tell." I smiled as Gray helped me put my coat on before walking out.
"It's about damn time, good for her." He mutters just barely audible, but I heard it.
We begin to walk back to the garage and Gray pulls my wrist towards the entrance. "I'm taking the train home." Right then Gray looked at me crazy even more than when I took my shirt off.
"You're crazy if you think that I'm going to let you take the train by yourself at this time at night and in the state you're in. I'm driving you home at least."
"Fine, but I pick the music." We walk to the car and we both get in although now the drinks are hitting me. "My address is.."
"Jellal already gave me it already. Clearly you guys do this often." I laughed as I slowly looked out the window.
It was a quick drive, but now Gray is walking me to my apartment trying to make sure I get into my bed safe and sound. "Alright Lucy which key opens the door." I pointed at the key and he opened the door. I look over towards and he looks a little tipsy, and I think it's best for him not to drive tonight.
"Gray, if you want you can stay the night. I have an extra room over there and you can crash there tonight." He smiles, and I know the answer so I grab a few extra blankets.
