Authors Note: I'm back! Okay I have decided to try and pick this story back up again, but in order for me to keep going with it, I need some reviews on what you guys think of it. Just a little something to keep me going. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
I woke up with a yawn as sunlight was streaming into my room. I smiled and realized that I never had felt so well rested before. The bed I slept in was much too big for me but very comfortable. I smiled but I frowned when I saw the stupid maid's uniform. I need to get rid of it somehow before Gajeel comes looking for me. I got out of bed and grabbed the offensive uniform and stuffed it under my mattress. There, it can stay there for now. I'll burn it later. I smirked at the thought. I heard a knock at the door so I quickly walked over and answered it.
"Miss?" Lily was standing there once I opened the door.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Once you are dressed Gajeel would like to see you in the dining room." He walked away before I could say anything. I blinked but shrugged. I closed the door and then walked over to my wardrobe and looked at all the different clothing outfits I could choose from. It was a little overwhelming since I was use to wearing the same thing everyday. I picked out a simple orange dress that did actually fit me. I then ran a brush through my messy hair and tied a head band through my hair. I walked out of the room and down into the dining room, where Gajeel was siting.
"Morning shrimp." Gajeel said shoving some bacon in his mouth. I went and sat down next to him, which didn't seem to bother him. I didn't really understand that. Didn't the help have to eat somewhere else? Like in the kitchen and not the fancy dining room? Especially not with their employer!
"Um Gajeel?"
"Yeah?" He looked over at me.
"What exactly am I supposed to be doing today? You told me that I'm going to be your maid, but what does it entail?"
He froze for a moment as if he had to think about it. After a good few minutes of silence he said, "Oh you know maid stuff, cleaning, doing the laundry, after meals you can do the dishes. When I have parties you can help set up and cater to them." He looked at me for a moment and then narrowed his eyes, "Hey wait a minute, you're not wearing your uniform!"
"Oh yes about that, I couldn't find it." I said innocently.
"You couldn't find it?" He asked. "Lily said he put it in your room."
"Hm, how odd." I kept up the innocent act even though I knew Gajeel wasn't buying it but I didn't really care as long as I didn't have to wear that stupid uniform I didn't care.
"Fine, I'll have him order you another one today." Gajeel said gruffly. Damn. I sighed and he put some food on my plate, "Eat up, you have a big day ahead of you."
We pretty much ate in silence after that. Once we were done, Gajeel stood up and called Lily into the room. Lily walked into the room. "Sir?" He bowed his head slightly out of respect. Should I start doing that to? Would I make a fool of myself if I did that? Probably. Best to probably not attempt that. "Lily I want you to show Levy how to do her chores today. I have a few business calls that I need to take care of so I don't want to be interrupted, got it?"
"Yes sir." Lily said.
Gajeel left after that leaving me and Lily alone. I stood up and looked at him and gave him a small smile, "So what should we do first?" I asked.
"Well first we should clean up the breakfast mess."
"Oh! Already on!" I didn't want to disappoint him so I grabbed as many plates as I could hold. I stacked them on top of each other while Lily was gathering up the crystal glasses, but I tripped over my own feet and the plates came crashing down. I felt myself falling with them but an arm grabbed the back of my dress to keep me from falling on the broken glass. I looked behind me and saw Lily looking at me with irritation.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Sorry about the dishes…" I said looking at the mess."
He sighed, "Accidents happen. Let's just clean it up." After a few more near accidents Lily sent me into the laundry room to start on the laundry. He explained in way too much detail how everything needed to be properly cleaned so while he was still cleaning up the mess I made, I came and began to do the laundry. I couldn't believe that only one little cup of detergent cleaned all these clothes, so I put in five more cups for good measure. Once that was done I left the laundry room with a smile. At least I could do that without a problem.
I walked back into the kitchen to see how Lily was doing on the kitchen mess. I was shocked at how quickly he had the kitchen cleaned. He was placing the last dish in the dishwasher as he looked at me. "You're all done with your task?" He asked.
"Yes, the clothes are in the machine." I said feeling proud of myself. This was my first job and I wanted to make sure I did a good job at it.
"Good, now we should—" Before I could figure out what he was going to say we heard a loud bang come from the other room. Lily and I ran into the Laundry room but our feet were soaked, the room was flooded with soapy water that was quickly running into the living room. Lily hurried and shut the machine off. He turned and glared at me, "Levy! How many cups of detergent did you use?"
I looked at him sheepishly, "Um…six…?"
"Six?! You only needed to put in one!"
"But one just didn't seem like enough." I said biting down on my lip.
If looks could kill, I'd be dead. He shook his head and grumbled, "I'm going to go get us some mops, try and stay out trouble until then…" He walked away.
3 Hours Later
Gajeel was just hanging up with a business client. He rubbed his temple feeling a headache coming on. He groaned hearing a knock on his office door. "Yeah, c'mon in!"
Lily entered, "Sir, there is something we should discuss."
"What is it?"
"That girl that you hired as your maid. I don't think it's wise you keep her here, she isn't very experienced."
He shrugged, "So? Make her experienced. You know that I don't care if she is a maid, but that was the only way I was going to get her to come here. She is going to soften my image."
Lily sighed and shook his head, "If you don't mind me saying sir, this is a reckless plan, for both your sakes. If the girl finds out she is being used as a pawn she might not take it too well."
"She won't find out." Gajeel grumbles, "Look my father's business is taking a big hit right now, they think I'm some kind of heartless monster. So if I take in the town's street beggar, give her a roof over her head, food and even a job it will change my image."
"And if she does find out?" Lily asked.
"Tsk. She should be thanking me for all I've done for her."
"For both your sakes sir, I really do hope so." Lily said.
A/N: BUM BUM BUM! There is a little twist for you guys. Poor Levy has no maid skills whatsoever, and more importantly she has no idea what she has gotten herself into with Gajeel. Alright tell me what you think, and tell me what you want to see happen through this fanfic of their story. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
