in my life right now. But hey, I'm sure you're all like "No excuses, just write!" Lol :D And to that, I raise my hand and say "Aye!"

=^_^= So here we go! p.s. The lemon is coming soon, trust me;)

After dark, Gray stood outside of a restaurant while keeping a vigilante watch on the street in front of him. Several minutes passed, before a figure approached him.

"Were you followed?" He asked.

With a shake of her head, she replied confidently. "No, Juvia was careful."

Gray let out a relieved sigh, then smiled at her. "Good... You hungry?"

The bluenette smiled as she gently nodded her head. "Yes."

The ice mage then opened the door to the restaurant and gestured with a tilt of his head. "Shall we?"

A subtle blush dusted Juvia's cheeks as she beamed at him. "Of course, thank you Gray-sama."

He replied with a smile and a wink, that made her squeak excitedly as she passed him to walk into the restaurant. Once they were seated at a booth near the corner, Juvia removed her long coat and placed it next to her. Gray glanced at her and instantly his eyes widened. The dark purple shirt she wore had a deep v-neck that gave Gray a generous view of her cleavage.

A single eyebrow spiked up as he said playfully, "Nice shirt, Juvia."

She looked up at him and then smiled. "Really? Juvia picked it out especially for you, Gray-sama." Her silky voice rolled off her lips as she pushed her arms together, thus amplifying her cleavage.

Gray suppressed a groan and his hands instinctively made a squeezing motion.

He forced his eyes away and gave Juvia a threatening look as he said in a low tone. "You're asking for it, girly."

She simply bit her bottom lip as a flirtatious laugh escaped her mouth. "Juvia doesn't know what you're talking about." She teased.

Gray raised his brow as he replied. "Playing innocent is gonna save you, you know?"

Juvia smiled prettily while twirling a lock of hair between her fingers. Gray smirked back at her and lightly shook his head.

"What can I get you two to drink?" The sudden voice of the waiter, made the pair snap out of it and look up to the young man who waited patiently for their reply.

"Iced tea with lemon, please." Juvia said with a smile.

"I'll have a beer." Gray answered casually.

As soon as the waiter left, Gray perked up. "Oh right! There was something I needed to tell you."

Juvia looked at him with a tilt of her head. "What is it, Gray-sama?"

Gray put his forearms on the table and leaned forward, speaking in a quieter tone. "We need to pin something on Cana and we need to do it fast. I talked to her earlier and now..."

The bluenette furrowed her brows when she noticed his hesitation. "What's wrong?"

The ice mage sighed heavily and quickly looked around him to make sure no one was listening, before he continued. "She wants me to clean her place while I wear a french maid costume!"

Juvia gaped in astonishment, her jaw falling open. Gray threw his hand up as he exclaimed. "That's what I said! She's gone too far, this time. She only gave me till this weekend, so we have to do something quick."

After registering this, Juvia got a serious look on her face and she spoke calmly. "Juvia understands."

Gray exhaled quietly while nodding his head.

She squared her shoulders and said firmly. "Juvia will Kill Cana! Anything to protect Gray-sama!"

Gray whipped his head toward the girl. "What?! No, Juvia! Don't kill anyone!"

Juvia knitted her slender eyebrows together, confused. "But.. Juvia thought you wanted Cana to be stopped."

Gray sighed as he ran his hand through his hair then turned back to her. "Ya, but not to that extreme! We'll figure something out that doesn't involve murder, okay?"

Juvia quickly perked up and smiled at him. "Okay."

Gray couldn't help but smile at the quirky girl across from him. 'Juvia really is something else.' He thought to himself.

The waiter came up to them and set their drinks down on the table. After taking their order, he turned away with a smile and left the two of them to talk amongst themselves.

Gray took a long swig of his beer, then lowered the glass. "So, has Cana made you do anything for her?"

Juvia looked at him while sipping from her straw, then stopped to reply. "No, nothing yet."

Gray stroked his chin as he thought with a quiet, "Hmm. Well.. if she does ask you for something in the next couple days, I think it would be smart if you just went ahead with it. We can't let her know we're planning something. Do you think you can do that?"

She gave a quick nod of her head. "Juvia can handle it."

Gray lifted his glass up to his mouth and spoke lowly. "I'm sure you can." And he took a drink.

Juvia then got a mischievous look on her face and said in a sultry tone. "But, what if Cana makes Juvia do something...shameful. Should Juvia, still do it?"

Lowering his drink, Gray glanced down at his lap, then looked back at the bluenette with his brow raised suggestively. "Like rubbing my package with your foot?"

The girl bit her bottom lip and giggled as a light blush stained her cheeks. Gray grinned deviously and spiked an eyebrow as he said lowly. "I could think of worse things."

With that, he reached under the table and grasped her ankle, earning a tiny gasp from her. He then rubbed her foot against his member, making him growl quietly. Juvia's blush intensified as she slowly dragged her teeth across her supple lip and gazed at him wantonly. Gray grinned again and made her stroke his growing arousal harder, releasing a tiny shiver that raced up his spine.

A hint of a smile crossed Juvia's face and she leaned her body forward, caressing his length with the sole of her foot while giving him a tasty peek down her shirt. Gray inhaled sharply and openly gawked at her impressive cleavage and the sliver of a black lace bra that was making an appearance. The water mage claimed the straw from her glass and brought it to her mouth. With her eyes locked on his, she sensually curled her tongue around the straw and licked the droplets of liquid off the clear tube.

A barely noticeable shudder ran through Gray's body, before he softly chuckled and teased in a low voice. "You kinky little thing."

The bluenette giggled in return while her fingers absentmindedly played with the straw. Gray smiled back at her, his dark eyes glinting suggestively.

"Alright, I got your food here!" The waiter's voice made the two of them slightly jump in surprise and Gray immediately released Juvia's ankle.

Juvia straightened herself and cleared her throat, hoping that it would help to clear her desire fogged mind. Gray swallowed hard and leaned back in his chair, almost laughing at the sudden awkwardness the waiter created. 'That was close.' He thought with a smile.

...

After the meal, Gray and Juvia walked out of the restaurant and into the refreshing cool night air.

"Well, that's a first for me. Never been groped under a table at a restaurant before." Gray said with a playful grin.

Juvia fiddled nervously with her skirt's hem as a tiny blush tinted her fair cheeks. "Was, Juvia wrong for doing that?"

Gray chuckled quietly and snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her close. "Of course not, I was only teasing you know."

Juvia looked at him apprehensively, "Is Gray-sama sure?"

Gray stopped walking just as they got underneath a blooming cherry tree. He turned toward the girl and flashed her an attractive smile, before pulling her flush against his hard body and grasped the back of her head. She softly gasped at the sudden contact and her cheeks warmed when his dark eyes pierced her own blue orbs. He leaned in and lightly brushed his lips against hers, making her arch her back into him and sigh contentedly. He smiled to himself before capturing her lips in passionate kiss.

Juvia instantly melted into him, tilting her head to deepen the embrace as he curled his fingers in her long blue hair. Her full lips parted and his tongue instinctively glided into her warm mouth. She moaned seductively and wrapped her arms around his neck, urging him on. Gray growled low and moved his hands underneath her coat to snake up her short skirt. Juvia whimpered as he tightly cupped her ass with both hands and ground her hips into him.

She moved her hands and grasped the sides of his neck as he continued to taste her lips and push into her. She sharply gasped when she felt his arousal press against the sensitive juncture between her thighs and her hips automatically rolled forward. A low grunt came from Gray and he squeezed her curvy backside tighter. She pulled her head back to catch her breath and Gray swiftly moved his mouth to her neck, nipping and sucking the tender flesh. Juvia's eyes fluttered open and she froze when she remembered they were in the middle of a public place.

Her modesty returned and she tried to reign in her self-control as well as she softly grabbed a chunk of his black hair. "Gray-sama."

He simply groaned against her ear and then dipped his fingers under the lace fabric of Juvia's underwear. Juvia squeaked as her cheeks flushed bright red and she promptly reached back to grab his wrist urgently.

"Gray-sama, please, stop. We can't. Not here." She pleaded breathlessly.

A deep guttural sound emitted from him as he pulled his mouth away from her neck and removed his hands from under her skirt. She closed her eyes as she breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a few calming breaths, Juvia opened her eyes and looked up to see Gray grinning at her. While opening her mouth to ask, he reached up and firmly squeezed her left breast.

She looked at his hand then up to his face. "Gray-sa-"

Her protest was silenced by his lips on top of hers as he roughly palmed her breast. The bluenette whined sadly, then forced herself to pull away from him.

"Gray-sam-"

"Oh shit! What time is it?" He asked suddenly.

Juvia looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Gray sighed heavily, "Damn it. Sorry babe, I have to go. I won't be that long though."

He gave her a quick kiss and smiled. "So I'll see you at my place tonight?"

Juvia got a crestfallen look on her face as she bit her lip nervously. "Juvia's sorry, but she can't."

Gray widened his eyes in shock. "What? Why not?" He demanded.

Juvia shifted awkwardly, before proceeding. "Levy wants Juvia to spend the night tonight."

Without waiting Gray replied. "Cancel it."

The bluenette sighed helplessly. "Juvia can't. She's already cancelled on Levy several times and she can't tell Levy it's because she wants to be with Gray-sama."

Gray narrowed his eyes and groaned angrily, but said nothing. Juvia got a sympathetic look on her face and she lightly grasped the sides of his jacket, while gazing up at him.

"Juvia will make it up to Gray-sama. She promises." She said softly, her blue eyes shimmering earnestly.

After a moment, Gray's eyes darkened as he growled out. "Yeah.. you will." His hand then curled around and delivered a sharp smack to her behind, eliciting a yelp from the girl as her cheeks flushed adorably.

He grinned in amusement then let out a quiet sigh. 'No nookie tonight.' He thought with disappointment. "..See you tomorrow then?"

Juvia smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, tomorrow."

Gray offered her a half-smile then planted a small kiss on her lips. "Later babe."

With that, he turned away from the pretty bluenette and headed towards the coast.

...

Out by the harbor, Gray leaned against a tall wooden post and glanced out at the vast ocean before him, enjoying the chill breeze that came rolling in from the water. His fingers grazed the gold coin in his palm and then he gave it a hard flick with his thumb. When the sound of rustling approached his ears, the ice mage turned his body toward the front of the dock. Squinting his eyes in the dim light, Gray could see an absurdly dressed feline making his way over to him. The cat had on his extravagant velvet hat and was now carrying a bejeweled gold cane in one paw. Gray rolled his eyes exasperated and waited for the cat to arrive, but he seemed intent on milking his big entrance.

When Happy was about to step onto the dock, he pulled out some big sparkly sunglasses and put them on his fuzzy face. Now dawning his shades, the pimped out feline began to strut toward Gray confidently. His fashionable arrival was compromised, however, when Happy suddenly walked right off the side of the dock. Gray gaped in shock, but thankfully, the cat's wings sprouted in time and he flew back up to the wooden walkway. Happy removed his sunglasses and placed them on the brim of his hat, before resuming his strut toward the ice mage, acting as if nothing happened.

Gray sighed heavily and shook his head with embarrassment. Finally, Happy came up to Gray and stopped to strike a pose. The feline stood at a wide stance, while placing both paws on the cane in front of him and tilted his head back as he smugly pursed his lips. Gray then noticed a heavy gold chain around Happy's neck and a fish skeleton medallion that glimmered in the light of a nearby lamp.

"So, where's my fishes, son." Came the cat's squeaky voice.

Gray slightly narrowed his eyes and replied calmly, "You won't be getting any fish tonight."

Happy widened his eyes in disbelief, before he glared threateningly at the ice mage and lifted his golden cane up in the air. "Gimme one good reason why I shouldn't slap you with my cane, snowball!" The feline bellowed as he wiggled his bejeweled cane at Gray.

Gray's eyes darkened and a malevolent smirk curled the corner of his mouth as he flicked the gold coin in his hand.

"That sure is a nice cane you got there, but what happened to your coin, Mr. Happy?" Gray asked mockingly.

The cat bared his teeth angrily before pointing a paw at Gray and hollering. "None of your business, you Frosty Fool!"

Gray's eyeball twitched furiously as he clenched his jaw shut. Having enough, Gray flicked the gold coin with such force, that it shot forth and knocked Happy's giant hat right off his noggin.

Happy squealed in alarm while he clutched his now bare head with both paws. "My sweet hat!" The cat yelled aghast.

Gray closed his eyes, trying to keep his cool as a nerve on the side of his head pinched with growing agitation. "Now look here fur ball, I came tonight to tell you that the cat's outta the bag! Natsu and Lucy know about Juvia and I."

Happy looked at Gray with a puzzling expression, but it soon morphed into one of complete horror as he yelled. "Wha? You're gonna stuff me into a bag?!"

Gray rolled his eyes while releasing a frustrated sigh. "No, I-"

"Where's the bag, Gray?! Where's the bag!?" The cat demanded frantically.

Gray growled lowly as he pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked at the feline sternly. "Just forget the freaking bag already! The point is, our deal is off! No more dock meetings and no more fish, understand?"

Happy stood motionless with his mouth agape, as the information slowly began to sink in.

The ice mage stuffed his hands into his pockets, turned away from the feline and started making his way down the dock.

Happy suddenly dropped to his knees and lifted his head toward the night sky as he hollered dramatically. "Whyyy?! I was gonna get two fish!"

As his form nearly vanished into the darkness, Gray yelled back. "No you weren't!"

...

And that concludes the end of this chapter!
