Chapter 8

Natsu's POV

I was inside my room working out to my music. Lucy and I having dating for good long while. We've been going places and seeing new people. Well, there was this one time when Lucy and I were having a drink when a guy showed up to us. His name was Sting if I recall. And he was once Lucy's boyfriend.

He looked all happy and dandy when she saw her. She seems that way was well. But, I feel a little unease about it. I talk to her about it when we're cuddling last night. She said don't worry about it. But, I'm worried about it. There was a knock my door. I get to answer it and there was Gray in his business attire. "Yo." He said to me.

I let him inside and as I grab a towel from the laundry. "So, still having problems with Lucy?" He said.

I wipe the sweat off my face. "She said it was nothing. "I don't understand myself. I don't want this relationship to go sour."

"That's understandable."

"So, how are you and your bride to be?"

"It sucks right now. I got a call from "father" he was worried that wasn't there for Audrey last night. I told him that Andrew was with her. I was out running an errand."

"And he believed you?"

"I don't know. He was hot headed saying that you would be more of husband not jackass. And he still threatens me saying that he'll telling everyone about my history." I saw his hand hit on the table. "God, that man pisses me off."

"Well, you going to have to choose marry Audrey or face and live up to your past. Look, we're all worry about you. I can already see that you lose your cool very easily."

Gray scratches his head. "I'm sorry. Things are just rough." Gray sat down on the couch.

"Things are going to work out. You just have to believe that." I told him. That is only the best advice I can give him.

"So, how is with Juvia? I see you very friendly with her."

"I was actually at her house last night. She seems very nervous around me."

"Gray, I should be careful. I can't imagined how Juvia will feel if get herself she involved in this. Promise me , you'll be careful with his."

"Natsu...I will." He sighed. All I hope is for the best for him.

Juvia's POV

I was sitting in my desk looking at the status quo. I was wondering if Gray got my message last night. Was really scared after all? Did I push him away? There was a knock and Lucy came inside.

"I've got the document flies on our mysterious client today."

"Good. I need is to find the direction to where he is…"

"Oh, that won't be necessary. The client will be right across the street having his lunch." She said to me.

"Then, why go to all the trouble in doing all of that?"

"Don't blame the boss. Blame the client." Lucy took out her cell phone and it was ring . She opened up there was text messaging form Sting.

Lucy felt irritated.

"Guy problems?" I ask.

"It's my ex Sting. He has texting me every sine I meet him at the bar."

"You mean the guy who works with Rogue on the radio."

That's the one. I don't why he was doing this. We broke up because he was cheating on me."

Before I word echoed into her mouth, Mira came by. "Excuse me, ladies. But, save the drama after work. You know how our boss is very serious when comes to those things."

We chuckled. "Well, Juvia catch you later." Lucy left as Mira steps inside.

"This everything ready on your side?" she asks me

"Of course, Mira. I won't screw it up." I stand up from my chair. "I'll be on my way." I grab the documents and went out of the room.

As walk down the hallway, Gray walk by in a rather pleasant mood. "Good day to you, Gray."

He stops in his track and looks at me. I continue to walk to the elevator. He quickly follows me as I press the button to open the door. He slides inside the elevator as I went inside. He pressed the first button to the lobby.

It closes and descends.

"Why are following me?" I ask quietly.

"Because, I want to talk. You seem scared about the dance last night. Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine." The elevator stops and I left as it opens.

I walked across the street to restaurant called Mermaid Fin. As I looked, I saw a man who had a bit of hair on his head and walked towards him.

Excuse me sir. Are you Mr. Jura."

"Of course."

"I'm Juvia Lockhart, I'm with Fairy Tail Company. We've been expecting you."

"Oh, why thank you. Please have a seat."

It was 2:30 p.m. and felt very pleased with the results. And I felt very relieved as well. I was on my way inside the building when Jellal stops me.

"Juvia." He said.

I turn to him. "Jellal, what's going on? Wait! Don't tell me I got a ticket."

He chuckled. "No it is nothing like that. I want to talk about Erza. IS she available on Friday?"

"I don't know anything about her work time. Why did you ask?"

"I want to go on a date with her. There was something there between us since we were at the beach."

I saw the redness on his face. "I'll try to ask her; but, I can't promise you anything." I chuckled. I knew was going to spill the beans to Erza.

He smiled in relief. "Thank you, Juvia."

"You're welcome."

As I came back to my office, Gray was sitting at the chair waiting for me. As I was about to talk to me Gray got up and closes the door. And he turns his attention to me.

"Listen, don't take this the wrong way." he said to me. "I didn't mean what I just did that night. I didn't know what I was doing there."

"It was quite much rather surprising .But, I forgive you. And I hope we can hang out sometime soon."

"How about Saturday night? That is if you want to?"

I was shocked. In fact was happy. "Well sure I love to. But, still as friends, right?"

"Absolutely. So, I'll see you Saturday night say at 6pm. I'll be waiting for you there."

I smiled. "Yeah, I'll be there."

Gray headed out of my office, leaving with a flustered smile on my face.
