She made it back to her hotel room feeling sick to her stomach. She walked through the door and closed it behind her before sliding down onto the floor. She sighed looking up at the ceiling she knew he might have been there but she wasn't expecting him to confront her like that. Should I have let him just walk away? What could I have said? It doesn't matter I will be gone in a couple days anyway. She took a few deep breaths trying to calm her mind. She slid her shoes off tossing them aside before making her way to the balcony of her hotel room passing by the letter Makarov had sent her a month earlier. She slid the door open letting the cool night air into the room before picking up the letter and opening its contents to read them once more.

He walked into his father's bar and sat in his usual place. The waitress brought him his drink and left him alone. The girls have flirted with him in the past but he couldn't bring himself to even think about them. He only ever thought about her, yes he had slept with other women but none compared to her. He had a connection with her and he had hoped she would feel the same. After that day she only spoke to him as her teacher and never opened up to him again. His father walked over to him, "Son go get her." He sighed, "I wish it were that easy pops, but she wouldn't even look at me. She probably thinks I took advantage of her." Metalicana laughed, "She leaves tomorrow, and tonight is your only chance." He walked off leaving a card on the table with a hotel and a room number.

Gajeel had another drink and walked out the door, this time he wouldn't let her walk out of his life like she did before. He ran to the Fairy Hills Hotel, by the time he got there he had sweat dripping down his face and his shirt was sticking to him. He knocked on her door waiting for her to answer.

She sat on the couch reading the letter that she had received from Makarov,

Dear Ms. McGarden,

I would like to personally invite you to be our guest speaker for Graduation this year. I also have a-

There was a loud knock at the door that brought her out of her reading. She walked towards the door after placing the letter back on the table. She opened the door still in her outfit, she had taken her shoes off and was walking around barefoot. He looked at her, "What the hell happened seven years ago?" he asked barging into her room. She blushed closing the door behind him, "what are you talking about 'what happened?' You happened, you acted like nothing happened when I came into your class room." He growled softly, "when I woke up after you left, you were gone I thought you didn't want anything to do with me. You stopped talking to me, you barely looked at me and then you started dating some guy about 3 months later."

She blushed, "how did you even know about that? It doesn't matter, I tried to get over what had happened and I couldn't I thought maybe dating someone else would help, it didn't." She pulled her gloves off and set them inside her suit case. She grabbed her shoes and placed them in her bag as well. "You know Gajeel I thought coming back here I would be over you and what we had but for some reason it just lingers in the back of my mind. I can't stop thinking about you and it hurts." She looked at him tears in her eyes, "So if you are done please get out." She brushed past him walking towards the bathroom.

He grabbed her wrist spinning her to face him and pinning her against the wall, "Baby I wasn't done with you the morning you left, I was just getting started." She blushed deeply, "what do you-" She was cut off by his lips crashing into hers. He pressed his body against hers kissing her passionately. She returned the kiss feeling her legs getting weak underneath her threatening to give out at any moment. He lifted her up wrapping her legs around his waist, he slid his hand up against the back of her neck. She moaned softly, dragging her nails down his shirt, she pulled away slightly, "why are you still dressed?" He smirked, "because last time we undressed you left me, I don't trust you to stay if I lose my shirt."

She groaned but nodded in understanding. "Let's just take it slow this time," he said "I don't want you running off thinking I was just using you." He placed her back on the floor carefully, "oh, that dress is sexy as hell on you, I wanted to tell you earlier but we kind of got caught up in something else." She blushed, "thanks Gajeel."

She undressed and slipped into her nightgown relaxing on the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed taking off his shoes. Gajeel sighed, "so you're leaving tomorrow?" She smiled, "yeah I was going to but I think I might stay for a while and see how everything plays out. Master offered me a job in the language department I might take him up on the offer." She cuddled up in her bed. He smirked, "but what about your plans? Are you just going to set them aside?" She smiled closing her eyes, "No, but I have time to figure things out. My current project is on a hiatus so I get to figure out what I need to do." She pulled the covers up to her chin getting comfortable before sleep over took her.

He sat on the edge of her bed sighing as he undid his tie. He unbuttoned his shirt slowly, replaying the events of the evening. He stood up slipping down to his boxers before crawling into bed behind her, pulling her closer to him before finally falling asleep.

Levy woke up the next morning groaning at the intrusion of sunlight that had made its way through the crack in her curtains. She sat up slowly trying to sneak out of the bed not wanting to wake the sleeping man next to her. She made her way to the curtains before closing them completely and sneaking off to the bathroom closing the door and turning on the shower. She got naked and climbed in groaning as the warm water hit her back.

Gajeel woke up groaning at the pounding in his head, "I really shouldn't have had those drinks last night." He sat up getting out of bed straightening out his boxers. He walked towards the bathroom smirking as he opened the door to see Levy standing in the shower water running down her naked body. He carefully climbed into the shower wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her body flush against his.

She smirked, "Gajeel I'm trying to get ready to talk to Master today." He nipped her shoulder playfully, "Yeah I know but we could just stay in here and make up for seven years apart." She pulled away, "as much as I would love that but we said that we would take it slow. I need to get ready to go so I will see you later." She climbed out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself before walking into the bedroom while he showered.

She had finished getting dressed while he finished in the shower. He came out to find her zipping up her black knee high boots. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, "promise me you'll wear those tonight?" She stood up giving him full view of her outfit; she was wearing a white button up with a black vest and her red skinny jeans and black knee high boots. "What do you mean tonight?" she placed her hands on her hips biting the inside of her bottom lip. She felt her cheeks flush taking in the sight of his body glistening from the moisture still left on his skin.

He walked towards her gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face, "Well I thought we could go out on an official first date. Say around 6ish? I have to clean my classroom today and I would like to change into something other than my clothes from last night." She stood on her tip toes and kissed him softly, "it's a date." She walked to the door and grabbed her purse, "I'll see you after my meeting in the classroom. She left him standing there in her hotel room in just a towel.

She made her way to the main office of the school and sat down in one of the chairs waiting to be called to Makarovs office. The small white haired man walked out of his office, "Levy it is so good to see you come into the office and we can discuss the proposal I sent you." She got up and nodded following him into the large office. "So my dear tell me what have you been up to the past few years. I hear you have a daughter now as well?" He sat in his chair with a smile. Levy sat across from him and nodded, "Yes, she said she wants to become a doctor like her parents. They passed away from an illness." He tapped a file on his desk "I have already approved her application and her scholar ship is going to cover everything. Now as you already know school doesn't start back for a few months but my offer still stands for you." She pulled her papers from her purse and handed them to him. "I can't wait to start my new career with FairyTail." She smiled as the man across from her chuckled. "Welcome back Ms. McGarden, or should I say Professor."

Gajeel had been in his classroom cleaning for the past hour or so listening to his jazz music as he worked. He was in his black ripped jeans and white tank top sweeping the metal shards into a pile. A small blue haired girl walked into his classroom gently knocking on the door. "Um, Excuse me." He turned around, "Can I help you?" He looked at her slightly confused, "school is out for the summer kid. Shouldn't you be with your parents?" She smiled, "I was looking for my mom she told me she would be here after her meeting with the Master." Gajeel sat down on one of the desks slightly confused.

"Mom!" The girl ran down the hall and hugged the woman smiling. Gajeel followed her out of the room looking towards the two females. Levy smiled gently patting the younger girls head, "Wendy I told you to wait for me at the hotel when you got in." Wendy nodded," I know but I haven't seen you in like a week and I missed you." Levy rolled her eyes, "I haven't been gone but three days." Wendy stuck out her tongue and giggled.

Gajeel leaned against the door frame of his classroom staring at the exchange. He couldn't keep the smirk off his face as the two walked towards him, "So when did you have a kid Lev?" Levy smiled, "Gajeel this is Wendy Marvell." Levy kissed the top of Wendy's head. "Wendy go to the hotel and get settled and I'll meet you there soon I need to talk to Gajeel about somethings alright?" Wendy nodded and waved at her mother and Gajeel before running off leaving the two of them alone.

Levy sat on one of the desks swinging her legs slowly, "I adopted Wendy after her parents died. I was at a dig site in a small town near the ocean. I couldn't just leave her there and her Grandmother is the village doctor. We decided that once Wendy finished her schooling she could travel with me until college started but then her grandmother was called away to another country dealing with an illness that presented similar signs as the one that killed Wendy's parents. I told Porlyusica that I would stay with Wendy but the village was going to put Wendy into the foster care system since she had no other relatives so here we are." Gajeel smirked,"Aah, so that explains a lot. Like why you were gone for so long." He sat on the desk across from her with his hands clasped together.

She smiled, "I wasn't sure how to tell you about her and last night we were sorting our own problems out." He nodded, "So how was your meeting with Master?" She looked at him, "I am officially the new language Professor of FairyTail!" She could no longer hide her excitement as a huge grin spread across her face. He slid off the desk and walked over to her placing his hands on either side of her body, he leaned down and kissed her softly gently nipping at her bottom lip. She pulled away slightly a blush creeping across her cheeks, "We are going to get caught if you keep this up."

A/N: Sorry for not updating for almost a year. My life just got crazy and I haven't had time for myself or the motivation to write. I'm going to try to get this story finished hopefully by the end of the year.

Thanks for all the reviews and feed back!
