Chapter 3
Juvia's POV
I was back home from work and I was taking a shower. I let the drips of water feel on my skin. I was mediating on Gray's anger. I wonder what was going through his mind. I wish I could something to help him. I felt so sad that my heart was aching to help this man. I stop myself. Oh no, It can't be. There was no way I was falling in love with him.
I just can't. I can't do it not when he on the verge of being married. It would just make things even more complicated for him and his life. But more so, it would be problem to me as well.
I turn off the shower, dried off my skin with a wet towel and wrap it around my body. I grab another towel and dried off my hair as I went to my bedroom. My phone was ring on my nightstand. I sat on my bed and answer it. It was a text from Moron.
Juvia,
I know it has been a while. But, I want to say sorry for bothering you. Things are troubling in my life. But, I've faith that things will work out for me.
Anyway, I'm just checking on you. Take care.
I couldn't help but smile at that message. Moron is really good friend and he does care for my safety. I'll text him later. Right now, I need to get ready.
Mira was hosting a dancing class tonight. So, I thought it would be a good idea to come here. Plus, you never know if the one might show himself to me. I was glancing myself in the mirror. I was wearing my blue outfit with some nice heels. I had my hair all nice and in curls. And I had some lipstick on. I decided on to put any make up. I think I look good without any makeup. I grab my little bag and I was out the door.
I drove around a bit to find a good parking. As I did, I found the building called Jazz, Dance and Class. That's where the class was being held. It was on the first floor so it was no big deal. I walk inside the building and found the door. As I open it, I could hear the flow of Latin music echoed throughout the studio. The beat was keeping up with the tempo of the music.
I could take a glance of the people that were there. I spotted Mira talking to her boyfriend Laxus. Laxus is electrician. And he stops by her place once in a while. They've been dating for a month now. She hasn't told her brother and sister yet; but, I'm they'll find out.
I look over my right shoulder and suddenly my heart was thumping fast and not in a good way. I see a man who was black jeans, short sleeves shirt, and black shoes. It was Gray. Oh my god, he looks amazing out of his business attire.
He took a glance at me and I was startled and was blushing. He grins at me and walks towards me.
"Good evening, Juvia."
"Fullbuster,what are you doing here?" I ask.
"Well, I decided to take some dance class to brush up my skills before the party. I mean, Audrey wanted me to do it." He glance the dress I was wearing. "But, I never expected you to come here."
"Well, I want to come here and have some fun. Being in my home can be boring." I chuckled nervously. "Oh my, what the heck am I even saying?" I thought.
"However, I think it's really sweet of you doing for her."
Gray looks at strangely and scratches the back of his head. "You think so?"
I nod. "Of course. You want to thoughtful to the person you're in love with married or not."
Mira came on the microphone and everyone listen in.
"Good evening. I want to thank everyone who came here tonight. Today theme is salsa dancing. And since tonight is freestyle night. You can dance whatever you like. Just don't dance inappropriately, please."
She presses the music player into a different song. Everyone grabbed a partner and started to dance. Gray extended his hand to me. "Would you like to dance?" he grins. I took his hand and we danced on the dance floor. He put his hands and around my waist and rhythm began to move our bodies.
Suddenly, I felt calm around him as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders. He pulls me away and he started to clap to beat. I shimmy my body and shake my hips like a belly dancer. The people were surprise of our dancing. Even Mira and Laxus were left speechless. We look into each other eyes and moved in circle.
I extended my arms to him. He pulls me in gently and I was press up against his back. Our hips swayed to the music. I felt his breath touching my skin. I shiver to the touch. I glance at him. He had his eyes closed. He spins me around a couple of times before he dance on his own.
He took off his shirt and starts to dance. He swirls his hips around and came in closer to me. My heart was thumping even harder. Not by the way he moved but by his six pack abs. Damn, he really does hit the gym a lot. I didn't know he dances so well. He presses back up against me again.
I couldn't take anymore. I felt the urge of doing something to him now. I need to get out as quickly as I can. I start to move away from him. I accidently trip myself and started to fall. Gray catches me and smirked.
Everyone started to clap for us. There was a whistle in there too. My face was really red now. I got back to a vertical stance and instantly ran of the class.
I ran inside the ladies' restroom. "Oh my God, Juvia. What just happen right now?" I told myself as I started to calm myself. "It was just a salsa dance, right? So why did I want to kiss me now." I shook my head and splash water on my face.
There was a knock on the door. "Juvia, are you okay?"
Gray was outside waiting. What should I do? I dried my face off and I open the door. I shirked a little. Gray was still half naked.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry that I ran out like that. I just felt so repentant of myself. I never dance in front of people. Not in parties, nightclub, and most certainly not in dance classes."
I glance at him. "I guess I was a frightened."
He glares at me. Was he that upset? But, then he laughs. "Don't be. Everyone get the shiver in them sometimes while they're dancing. Heck, I too was afraid to dance." He turns to see anyone was around. "I never told anyone about this bedside my guy friends. But, before I was a swab business guy, I use to be a dancer. Well, stripper to be exact."
"Eh?! A Stripper!"
Gray shushed me. "Sorry" I said quietly.
"Yeah, I start working a club many years ago. They called me Ice Boy. I didn't know why but kind of like it. After I decided to call it quits, I dance regularly whenever I feel like it. Heck some people call me the dance freak.
I chuckled.
"Promise me, you won't tell the others."
I smiled at him. "You've my word." I replied.
"Good. Let's get back. And please call me Gray. We're friends here."
"Okay…Gray."
Gray's POV
Class was over. I was heading back to my car. Tonight was unexpected. I didn't thought Juvia was going to be there nor did I know she was a good dancer. Most of the girls that I used to date can dance little or can't dance at all. And that upsets me. Juvia had the energy of a seven year old. She can actually keep up with me.
She said thanks for the dance to me. I reply her back like the gentlemen that I am. She smiled and that made me happy.
I got in the car and look at my phone and I had a miss call and it was from Natsu.
I dialed him and he picked up on the second ring.
"Hello, Mr. Dancing Machine." He said.
"What do you want flame head? I'm sort of heading home now." I replied.
"How was dance class? You know I was thinking about going there tonight and show you good I am. But, Lucy was tried so I taking care of her tonight."
Gray had veins popping on his forehead. "Get the point."
"I mean did you find someone good there besides your nagging fiancée."
My reaction was shocking. How did he know about that? Then, my anger slowly came back up again. "You bastard you set this whole thing up!"
Natsu cracks in laughter. "I've been caught." He grins at Gray. "But, it wasn't just me you know. Besides, you must feel something with her."
I blushed. Right at this moment, I want to drive by where he's was beat the hell out of him.
"Well, I'll leave you to your night, see ya!"
I hung up the phone and l close my eyes, laying my head back in the seat. I mediate my thoughts on the wedding, my job, Juvia and life in general. I mean it isn't easy being me. I got up and start up my car and headed home and thinking on what is yet to come.
What did you think of it? Honesty, I didn't know this was going to be enjoyable. Well, don't forget to leave a review down below.
Thanks for your support.
