Ch 8

One week later (one month before the dance)

Jellal's POV

Is this Sakura's way of punishing me for what happened to Sai? Because of this dance, Erza has acted strange towards me. More than usual. Has she found a date for the dance already or is she waiting for me to ask her? I finally went to Sakura for help.

"But are you sure you don't want to wait to use this technic till you finally decide to purpose to her?" she had said while eating cake. Now all I had to do is go with the plan.

Erza's POV

I'm going to kill her! Ever since the announcement, Jellal has been acting all weird around me. Dose he have a date for the ball already or is he going to ask me? I just can't stand the suspense. Right now I am walking towards my favorite bakery with Jellal because he wanted to go try some cake and he wanted me to come with him since he knew that I would enjoy some cake. I offered to bake him a cake but the light just went out of him when I offered to bake it.

Normal POV

When they got to the bakery, Jellal went to the men in the counter.

"Special order number five please." he said to the man.

"Coming right up." said the man as he went out back to get the cake.

Now it was just Jellal and Erza in the bakery. Awkward silence.

"Are you going to go to the Halloween ball ?" asked Jellal to Erza, who was busy looking at cake to notice that he was blushing as he asked the question.

"I would but no one has asked me to go. Do you have a date? " she answered as she looked at a strawberry cheesecake with delight. Behind her, Jellal jumped with joy upon hearing the news.

"Well about that..." started Jellal as he was interrupted by the man behind the counter.

"Here we are, order number five." said the man as he placed the cake on the counter.

"So Erza, what do you think about this cake?" asked Jellal pointing to the cake. As she looked at the cake, she blushed even redder than her hair. Iced on the cake was the question "Will you go out with me Erza?"

"Yes I would." said Erza with the biggest smile.

Jellal had just fallen in love with her all over again.
