Over the weeks I hadn't screwed up as much which pleased Lily immensely. I was able to now do laundry all on my own (only whites but I would take what I could get), and stack plates without falling…most of the time. Gajeel kept ordering maid uniforms for me which kept mysteriously disappearing, which only pissed him off. I had a suspicion he wanted to see me in one of those awful uniforms. Well that is just too bad. Even though we have our own opinions on the uniform, we have gotten pretty close. He comes to me now whenever he wants my opinion on his house or his business. Ever since he took my opinion on treating his employee's better, his business seems to be doing better. He is actually having a party for them later tonight, and I would be working it.

I can tell that Lily has been getting irritated with our friendship since Gajeel has been slacking off with his business to do things with me and, and he drags me off to go do things with him.

I was in the kitchen with Lily as he was teaching me the proper way to wax the kitchen floor when Gajeel came in and looked at us for a moment, "Shorty, c'mon lets go see a movie." He said.

I didn't dare look at Lily knowing he was probably fuming, "Sir, it is the middle of the day, she has work and so do you!"

Gajeel shrugged, "So? We can do it later. Finish this up for her!" Before either one of us could answer him, I was yanked off the ground and into his arms. I yelped in surprise as he walks out of the room with me.

"Gajeel!" I protested. "We can't leave poor Lily to do all the work by himself."

"Trust me shrimp, he doesn't mind, he has been doing it long before you came into the picture. Anyways when you're not looking Lily just re-does your work."

"What?!" He does it over? I might not be the best maid but I've improved since I've came here. This is insulting! I sighed. I wondered if I was ever going to get the hang of this maid thing.

"Don't take it to heart. Lily has always been a perfectionist, he wants everything in this place running smoothly." He shrugs.

We walked into his theater room and he placed me down on one of the leather couches. I frowned and looked at him, "Then he must really hate me. I'm so chaotic and break most of your stuff." I mumbled.

He shook his head, "Are you kidding me! Lily is use to cleaning up messes, don't worry. He doesn't hate you. I think your growing on him. In fact I think he's more worried about me corrupting you."

I laughed, "Seriously? Explain that to me please." I asked.

"Somehow over the weeks you've been here now, Lily has grown sort of protective over you." He said rolling his eyes, "I think he's worried I might somehow hurt you."

"I don't think you would do that." I said with a soft smile.

"Oh no? And why's that?"

"You might not care to admit it, Gajeel, but you have a big heart. I've seen it."

He grumbled, "Alright, enough of this touchy feely talk. Let's watch this movie."

"What movie are we watching?" I asked.

"The one you told me about the other night." He said turning off the lights and hitting play. "It was a play and they made it into a movie."

My eyes lit up, "Oh! Are you talking about Hamlet?" I asked with a laugh.

"I guess."

"I didn't think you were listening." I said softly.

"Well I was."

We turned our attention to the movie and began to watch the movie.

A few hours later Gajeel's business party began. I put on one of the nicer black dresses I had in my closet and some tights since it seemed like a nice occasion. I then walked down to the party and saw people that I haven't met before. I felt my hands shaking slightly, I took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen to find Lily. He was supposed to give me instructions for tonight. When I walked into the kitchen, food on trays where on the counters everywhere.

"Lily?" His head snapped up and looked at me.

"Ah Levy! Good, you're here. All you're going to do tonight is walk around and serve our guest. It's impossible to mess up, even for you." He said. Ugh…was that a backhanded comment? I decided to ignore that as he handed me a tray as I was about to walk about I heard Lily call my name, "Levy?"

I turned and looked at him, "Yes?" I asked.

"You look very nice tonight." He said with a small smile.

I smiled back, "Thanks, Lily so do you." And he did his black hair was combed back and his suit was wrinkled free with a nice looking bowtie. I walked out of the kitchen and around the manor to see if anyone wanted any of these weird looking appetizers. I'll tell you one thing, you couldn't pay me to eat one of these.

I came up to a group of people, of them was showing off baby pictures. This must be the guy that Gajeel gave the time off, so he could spend time with his child. He had dark hair and he was in a suit, a women with long blue hair was holding onto his arm looking down at the pictures.

"Oh doesn't he look like my darling Grey?" The women asked.

A blonde women smiled while looking at the pictures, "Actually I see a little bit of both of you in him." She said.

"Thanks, Lucy." Grey said with a smile.

"THIS IS SO BORING!" A pink haired guy yelled.

"Natsu, behave!" Lucy said.

I walked over to them and offered up the dish, "Um would any of you like an appetizer?" I asked.

Lucy looked down at it and scrunched up her nose, "What are those?" She asked.

"Something gross?" I said.

She laughed, but I gasped as the tray was ripped out of my hands. Natsu was scarfing down whatever was down on the tray. "Hm? They're pretty good, wanna try one Lucy?" He held one out to her and she shook her head.

"No thanks!" She looked back over at me, "So you work for Gajeel?"

I nodded, "Yeah it was the weirdest thing. I use to live on the streets, but Gajeel took me in and now I work as his maid. He has given me everything I could have ever asked for."

"That's so nice of him." She said with a forced smile.

Natsu looked at me for a moment, "Oh yeah! I heard about that…"

"Natsu, don't—" Lucy said trying to shut him up.

"It's so Gajeel makes himself look better, that sly bastard."

I blinked, "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Oh you know, with you being here his image of himself instantly looks better. He took in the street rat, gave her a home, food and clothing. I'm actually surprised he put you to work." I felt the tray shaking and my eyes began to water.

"How's everyone doing?" Gajeel came up behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders.

I threw the tray of appetizers on the floor, I heard the plate shatter. "I hate you, Gajeel." I yelled and I ran upstairs with tears streaming down my cheeks now. I couldn't believe he did that to me. All along I believed he was some kind stranger that just happened along, to give me a job. No he was looking for the pathetic street rat to fix his image and to give his charity to. Well guess again, I'm no one's charity case. I'm done with this place. I'm done with Gajeel. I'm leaving.
