Chapter 3

She opened her eyes wide and looked around. Little sunlight coming from slit curtains in the room where she slept that indicates it's already morning. Lucy turned to her right and found Gray's face with eyes closed.

Finally he gave up and allow Lucy to sleep with him - its not on the bed but on the couch near the read table instead. Lucy doesn't want to sleep there so she pretended to close her eyes and slept on the mattress. It isn't possible for Gray to move her because he can't touch her. Lucy was shocked when Gray choose to sleep next to her – instead on the couch.

She looked into Gray who is still sleeping. Lucy admits that he is the most handsome boy she ever met. She wanted to touch his face, but she knew if she touched it will automatically wake Gray because of the cold.

"You're so cute." Lucy smiled happily. Not just his face, but his rigid behaviour makes him even sweeter. "I wish I could touch you," said Lucy with a sad tone as she looked into her hand.

Lucy, Lucy I love you ... Please come back.

Lucy widened her eyes. She heard that voice again. The voice sounded like a sad man. He wanted her to go back and meet him. But who is he? And where exactly is her body?

She squeezed her skirt when her eyes began watery. She isn't dead, she knew it. But why would she be in this shape? Lucy tried to remember who she is, but in vain. What remains in her memory is just she knows that she is a spirit.

Is Lucy had a mother who wait for her to come home? Does she have a father who every day worrying about her existence? What about Lucy's friends? She does not remember where the school is, but what about the teachers? Is everyone worried about Lucy?

Did Lucy really have a normal life? Does she have a boyfriend who may also waiting for her? If it's true like that, she would feel very sad if she makes all of them worried.

"I want to go back." Lucy said in a low voice. She really wanted to get back into her body. She wanted to meet her family. She wanted to meet with her friends. Lucy actually really hate the current situation. She felt weak and didn't know what to do. She just hopes this incident never happened.

But ...

Lucy looked back at the innocent face of the boy who was still asleep beside her. Lucy ventured out and touch his face. She tried to hold back her tears when she found out it was only went through Gray's cheek. Lucy tried again. Again. And again. But the result is the same.

Tears fell from her brown eyes. Lucy was eager to get back to life once, but if she returns ... if one day she'll be back ... whether she will be able to meet with Gray again?

For some reason since she first met him, Gray has always attracted the attention of Lucy. His attitude, his face and kindness. Perhaps, Lucy has feelings for him. Ultear always told her so when they were alone. She asked why Lucy always insisted on being close to Gray.

Lucy leaned closer. She can feel his heavy breathing. She stopped when Gray made a little shudder. What will she do? If Ur-san, or Ultear-nee or Lyon-nii see it, what would they say? Lucy kissed Gray right on his lips when it was slightly open. She will bear the consequences if Gray woke up and angry. But this time no one can stop it.

Lucy, Lucy I love you ... Please come back.

Lucy returned to reality and distanced herself from Gray. She was just hoping not to wake him. Lucy holds her lips. The kiss was real. She could feel it. For a moment she thought that she was just going through his body again.

Tok. Tok. Tok.

Someone opened the door cautiously. Lucy was in a sitting position on the edge of the mattress looked up and saw a smiling Ur. Nervous because she was on the mattress where Gray was still asleep, Lucy quickly stood up and bowed.

"Ohayo, Ur-san." Ur smiled softly at her. "You don't need to be so formal like that, dear." Lucy looked up and smiled. She saw Ur coming toward Gray and woke him up. Lucy doesn't usually see Ur's gentleness to her children. She is a single mother. No one knows where their father today. Ur always look tough in front of anyone, but she could see the tenderness of a mother on her today.

"Gray, honey. Get up. You have an appointment with grandmom today, right?" Gray muttered something and rubbed his eyes. He looked like the three years old boy who just wake up from a nap. Gray blinked several times to clear his eyes. Behind Ur right he saw Lucy looked away from him with a little blush on the cheeks.

"Let's wake up sleepyhead. Quick get ready. Breakfast in ten minutes, okay?" Ur walked out and leaving the two alone, but of course she didn't miss Lucy's face that looked around with a red tint in her cheeks. Ur just smiled and left the room.

Gray still look towards Lucy. Recognizing that youth's view, Lucy turned and smiled cheerfully at him. Although slightly embarrassed by what she did earlier. Gray looked at her in puzzle and finally beamed back which made her a little stunned.

Gray stood up and headed to the bathroom to get ready. Lucy who was left in a room by herself eventually went to the kitchen to help Ur prepare breakfast.

.

"Ohayo, minna ..." Lucy greeted cheerfully, but no one answered. They're just giving her a little smile to acknowledge her present. The reason is that someone who has been visiting this early apparently.

Lucy didn't know who the girl is in Lyon's embrace. Lucy looked confused. She was very pretty. She has a pale skin that match with her beautiful blue hair. She looks quiet and shy under the arms of Lyon. Lucy could see a tinge of red in her cheeks.

"She was Lyon-sama's girlfriend. Her name is Miss Juvia." Paul came from behind Lucy.

Both Lyon and Juvia were wearing sports clothes. Looks like they just jog around the complex. What a sweet couple. Lucy also wanted to be able to do it together with ...

"Yo, Gray." Lucy heard Lyon calling his brother's name who was standing behind Lucy. Flushed with what she was thinking, Lucy turned around trying to say hello. But what she saw was Gray is glaring at Lyon and Juvia.

"What are you doing?" He asked a little sharply. Juvia embarrassed and her face began to redden when she saw Gray. Lucy was a little confused because she doesn't understand anything. But she had an uneasy feeling when looking at Gray's grim face, Juvia's embarrassed face, and Lyon who was grinning broadly.

"Do you mind if this couple have an exercise and breakfast together? Moreover Juvia's house just a few blocks from here .. "said Lyon with a slightly mocking tone. Gray growled and gave him an annoyed look and walk through it. He pulled a chair up roughly and sat on it.

"O-Ohayo, Gray-sama ..." Juvia said softly.

"-sama?" Lucy could feel the jealousy in her. She glared at Juvia – who was looking at Gray with enthusiasm. Lucy could have sworn that there was heart shape in that girl's eyes now. Lyon might not realize it because he was busy talking to Ur and Ultear whom asking about Juvia. Gray was eating his breakfast.

Gray did not like the fact that Juvia - the girl he likes all the time- going out with his brother. Juvia is his schoolmates and had known him for a long time - thanks to Ur who is a good friend of Loxar family. Juvia always said that no one can replace Gray in her eyes and heart, but in fact he could see that Juvia now prefer Lyon for being her boyfriend and it annoyed him so much.

Gray took the glass of milk is prepared by Paul. He quickly drank it. Gray wanted to get out of this dining room quickly. He really did not feel comfortable with the situation now. Ultear and Ur are very supportive of Lyon and Juvia's relationship. No one knows exactly about his feelings. He really wanted Natsu to be here to beat him now.

Lucy saw everything. She saw how Juvia's behaviour around Gray and Lyon. She sees how nice Ur, Ultear and Lyon to her. But what makes her sad is how Gray's response to all of this. He looked upset, angry, and sad. Lucy felt that Gray actually likes Juvia but unfortunately she was already in the arms of his brother.

Lucy made a fist. Perhaps in this room the only one who feels jealous is not just Gray. Lucy walked and stood beside him. Even at this closeness, the young man was not aware of her presence. All of it happens because of Juvia.

Ur taking the dirty dishes on the table. Lucy wanted to help but Ur just shook her head. Lucy understood the point. Juvia can not see her. Wouldn't it be strange if you see something floating by itself in the morning, right?

"Let Juvia help you, Ur-san." Lucy saw Juvia raising from the chair and helps Ur clean the table. Juvia stood in front of Gray and she wants to take a glass that is half full of milk. "Are you finished Gray-sama? Juvia'll take it." Gray looked away and mumbled something in reply.

Juvia put her hand on the glass but somehow the glass was heavy and did not want removed from the table. Lucy put her hand in the same glass and pressed it to make Juvia could not lift it. Juvia trying hard but still can't. Gray realized this and glaring at Lucy as told her to release the grip.

"No way." Lucy continued to hold the glass until Juvia finally gave up.

"Why Gray-sama's glass does not want to be lifted? Gray-sama's glass is so heavy to lift," Juvia wonders and make the room instantly silent.

"Hahaha, that's impossible, Juvia. Right, Gray?" said Ur trying to break the silence. Ultear nodded and Lyon just gave her a nervous laugh. Juvia just looked at them surprised.

"Haha, of course. What are you talking about? See?" Gray raised his glass that still held by Lucy in force. "I'm going to put it myself. I think I want to finish it first." Juvia looked confused but finally nodded. Lyon asked her out of the rom. Ultear followed behind them and leaving Ur helped by Paul cleaned the table. Now, Gray is glaring daggers at Lucy.

"What?" she asked.

"Why did you do that?" He asked curtly.

"Why? It shouldn't be?" Lucy said with exasperation. She crossed her arms and turned her face away from Gray.

"Of course it shouldn't be. You should know that Juvia can't see you!" Gray quipped.

"It's not my business."

"What if she was scared, huh? You can make her scared, stupid!"

"I don't care. I don't like her anyway," said Lucy in disgust.

Ur and Paul looked at each other when they heard the noise.

"It's not my business if you like her or not. But don't you ever do anything like that again in the future!"

"WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT HER SO MUCH?" yelled Lucy that makes Ur and Paul are looking at the angry couple now.

"None of your business."

"You like her," said Lucy.

"Shut up!" snapped Gray.

"Gray is that true?" said Ur in surprise.

"Mom, do you believe at her?" He asked, pointing to Lucy.

"You like her. And I don't like it!" yelled Lucy.

"You're not the one who decide what I like and dislike, Lucy!"

"But ... but ... "

"But what?"

Lucy hugged him suddenly that makes Gray, Paul and Ur surprised. "You're mine! And I'm not going to share you on anyone!"
