Sherry smiled when she saw Meredy being carried away by Lyon. She knew what it felt like to love someone who didn't love you back so she hoped that Lyon would be able to move on from Juvia with Meredy's help. She then shifted her gaze to Ren and the rest of the Trimens. They were all being their usual flirty selves and that made Sherry roll her eyes at the sight. But, she secretly wished Ren would be more willing to give her the attention she wanted. He played the tsundre role very well and at times it was annoying. She never backed down from letting someone know she cared about them so why did she have to like someone who didn't always express it. After tonight's events, it became clear to her that Ren was capable but just needed the proper encouragement. She then decided she had enough; she'd march right up to him and demanded that he either be honest with his feelings or end things before someone got hurt, mainly Sherry. She then made her way towards him; at first she was sure but as she got closer, her nerve began to falter.

"Come on Sherry! Don't wimp out now! Just tell him! Let him know you won't stand for this anymore! He needs to step up or step out!"

She continued to pep talk to herself that she failed to realize that she bumped into him.

"Well hello there. I hope you didn't hurt that pretty little head of yours," Ren said smirking.

"I was just coming over to see if you enjoyed yourself tonight," she replied. Ren raised an eyebrow. "You were a guest of our guild and as a member that means I am part of hosting and a host always make sure their guests enjoy themselves."

"Of course. I enjoyed myself immensely." Ren leaned forward and got in her face. "Did you?"

"Yes," she replied blushing. She remembered how she felt holding his hands and being in his lap. "I hoped that things would be different between us after what we've experienced and I just need to know if this is going to go anywhere; before..."

"Before what," he encouraged.

"Before someone gets hurt. I know you and your friends like to flirt with anything in a skirt and those are just empty words to me. I want, no I need something more real. And if you can't do that, then I need to know so I can move on. I'll give you time to think and just send me a letter when you have your answer."

Sherry turned to walk away but felt someone tug her wrist. She turned in time to see Ren's face get closer and soon felt his lips on hers. She closed her eyes after the initial shock wore off and gripped his suit. The feelings they felt kissing each other was way better than just holding hands. They parted, breathing heavily and both of them red in the face.

"I believe that more than qualifies as an answer," smirked Ren.

"Yes, it does," said a shaky Sherry.

"You don't look convinced."

"To be honest, no. How do I know this isn't part of your silly games with girls?"

"What if I told you that I might be done with playing games with girls? That I'm ready for women," Ren said in a husky voice.

Sherry's eyes grew wide, and then developed a smirk of her own.

"Perhaps we can continue this elsewhere? Chelia is at a friends house tonight."

"After you," said Ren.

Sorry this took so long. Life got kinda crazy for me and then I got sick, but I'm better now. There will be two more after this and I'm sorry again if this seems short but I'm going for quality not quantity.

Thank you for being patient and see you next time! Also, check out my other stories as well!
