Chapter 5
Juvia's POV
I was throwing away my dispose of small candles in the trash. I was still thinking about the dream about Gray. Somehow I felt at peace with him. I guess I really am falling for him. I carried my pillows and bed sheets back to my bedroom. I open the curtain, letting the sunlight enter the room.
My cellphone rang. I pick it up and check the caller I.D. Erza as calling. She's another great friend of mine. She has that independent personality. It makes her feel different than most women. And she had a sweet tooth. Give a strawberry cheesecake and she'll eat it in a heartbeat. I pick up the phone and answered it,
"Hello, Erza."
"Good to see you, Juvia. How's the job?"
"It's well. Markov is retiring and a new CEO will be replacing him. Honestly, I thought Laxus was going to be the next CEO."
Erza snip a cup of her tea. "Yeah, But he has his own career he's pursuing now." She said. "So, how's the dating coming along?"
I was about to say something. But, I kept silence. I didn't want to say anything about Gray.
"Well, it's the same old thing. How about you? Is Jellal noticing you?"
Erza was blushing. Jellal was a police officer and a handsome man. He talked to her and on occasions. And she stutters her word whenever she peaks. He laughs at her speaking thinking it was funny and then went on his way. Lucy, Levy, Mira, and I are the only person that knows that.
Erza didn't say anything. I laughed. "Don't worry, give it some time. He'll come around."
"Hey, how about we go to the beach this afternoon. I need to get out of the house for a while." I told her.
"You know, I've a bikini that I want to wear. So, let's do it."
"Great, I'll text Lucy. Maybe she wants to go with us."
"Okay, I'll see you when you get here." I hang up the phone and quickly get my chores done. So, I could have some fun in the sun.
Lucy's POV
I was lying on my bed, mediating on how Natsu has changed my life and my relationship with him. It started when AC unit broke and called someone to fix it. However, something went wrong and there was fire in the unit. I called the fire department. They were able to stop the fire from spreading. But I was able without a home for two weeks.
Natsu told me he had a guest room and said that I could stay with him as long as I like until my house clear and took up in his offer.
After the two weeks were gone, I was back in my house and we still continued to date after that. It was something to remember. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen where I saw my boyfriend making breakfast for the both of us.
"Good morning, angel." He said to me with a smile.
"Good morning to you. Mr. Houseman." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment."
"So, I just received a text from Juvia. She is going to the beach this afternoon. I think we should go to the beach as well. Erza is coming. "
Natsu froze. "Wait, Erza is coming?!" He shook his head. "No way. No how. I'm not going to the beach."
"Natsu."
"I wouldn't mind if Juvia was there. Erza can get a little crazy if you push her button the wrong way."
"You're such a whiner. Yes, Erza has a little temper problem."
"A little?!"
"Natsu." I angrily glare at him. He knew that I was serious. He sighed in defeat. "All right. I'll go. But, I'll try to distance myself from her."
I look at him as he finished our breakfast. "That's not the only reason you don't want us to go."
"I don't want other guys staring at you in a bikini. You know I can be jealous sometimes." Natsu turns at me blushing.
I laugh at him and walk up to him and hug. "And that's one of the reasons that I love you." We laugh at each other and kiss each other.
Juvia's POV
I was driving the car with Erza to the beach. It was a comfortable ride for the most part. I put on some relaxing music and suddenly Erza falls as asleep. I chuckled.
As I stop at red light, I roll down my window and took a breath of the scenery of the beach. It was beautiful. A couple of seconds later, we arrived at the beach. I woke her up as I found a good parking space. I turned off the car and we grab our stuff and headed out.
"Hey, I'm going to go change. I'll be right back." She said to me.
She went on ahead while I try to good spot to rest my stuff and find good shade for my umbrella. I look over to my right and Oh my god, Gray was here. I dear god he looks hot in a swim trunks. He really does have the body that girls want to climb. He was walking on the beaches. He took a glance at him. I turn away.
Then, I slightly look over and Audrey was there too and light aqua haired man that I don't even know.
"Juvia!" I turn around to see Lucy and Natsu arrived here.
"Natsu! Lucy!" Lucy ran up and gave me hug. I gave Natsu a hug as well. "I see you made it."
"Is Erza here too?" Natsu asks.
"Natsu." Lucy turns to him. "What?"
I chuckled at them. "Erza is changing. Oh, that reminds me. Natsu could you into the truck of my car for me? I have a cooler with him beer in there." I grab my keys and toss it to him.
"Will do." And he was off.
I turn to Lucy. "So, it looks like you kept a nice figure." I smiled. But, Lucy kept looking over my shoulder seeing Gray and Audrey. And they were kissing.
She looks back at me. "I'm sorry. You were saying something to me?"
I shook my head. "It's fine. It's nothing." I knew what she was looking at.
"Juvia…'
I turn to her. "It doesn't bother me. Besides, Gray and I are friends. I mean he offer me a dance with him. Which I accept." When I echoed that I said, I close my mouth. That was a big mistake. Lucy was caught off guard. "A dance with Gray?" She had look of "Are you serious?"
I was shaken up and made a laugh about it. "Ha Ha Ha. Forget of what I said. I 'm going to take a swim." I ran into the water and drove head first in. it felt calm as waves swept me away. Just like my dream with him. And that almost kiss. I shook my head to erase the thought.
God, I can't believe I'm thinking about him. This isn't me. I arose from the water and wipe my face. I look over the coast line. I look pretty nice. As I was about to dive again, I felt something against my back and on my shoulder. As I turn around to say excuse me, Gray was right in front of me. And he was grinning at me.
"Hello there, Juvia."
