Sorry I'm just in the mood to speak using my mother tongue. :D And just so you know, I really appreciate your reviews! So thank you and please continue reviewing, it keeps every writer motivated and I am not an exception to that matter.

So.. Here's another chapter guys!

When I woke up the next morning Lisanna and Elfman are already gone. I glanced at the clock and I realized it's already seven in the morning. I have my duty at the restaurant at eight so I started to prepare myself.

Upon reaching the mirror of the bathroom I was greeted by an image of a woman with tangled white hair, a pair of tired blue eyes with big black bags underneath. Sigh. That's the result of having only three hours of sleep.

I examined myself, nothing is special about me. I am not that beautiful at all so it's really unbelievable for him to change just for me. I am sure that his past girls are all beautiful, sexy, rich and all that I'm not.

Another Sigh. I wish I have more self-confidence and self-esteem.

"Good Morning!" I greeted my co-workers.

Upon seeing me my manager quickly made a beeline towards me. "Mira are you ready to work now? You don't have to push yourself if you're not yet ready." She told me looking very concerned.

"No Mam I'm fine now.. I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday.." I apologized while giving her a reassuring smile.

Serve. Order. Serve. Order.

While I'm doing my usual routine in the restaurant I can't help but to remember my little sister -Lisanna's words.

"I can see sincerity in him. Do know that he went here to ask permission to us?"

"Just give him a chance Mira-nee. I can tell that he really likes you. Goodnight."

Sigh. This is the nth time that I sighed this morning. I don't know what Laxus did to convince my sister but he surely got her approval. He told me that he'll talk to me today and I can't help but to feel anxious. What will I say to him? What will he say to me? What will happen after we met and talked? Anxiety began to creep up to my body.

No. No. No. I shake my head. This is not the right time to think about my issues in life, to think about him. Focus Mira! I scold myself. I need to focus on my job and momentarily forget everything that has nothing to with it.

After hours of serving a gentle tap from my shoulder caught my attention. It's my manager.

"Well done. Just take the order from table five and after that you can leave." She said with a smile.

"Yes Mam." I quickly responded while heading towards the said table.

Thankfully I have successfully managed to focus on my job that I have forgotten about the time. After I finished taking the orders I went to the employee's locker room and dressed.

Once I reached outside I was greeted by a guy.. No other than Laxus Dreyar.

"H-Hey.." He greeted me, removing himself from his leaning position against the restaurant's wall.

I just gave him a nod as a response, suddenly I found myself unable to speak.

"Ah.." He walked towards me but not too close. "Are you ready?" He asked me.

"Ready for what?" I answered.

"To talk." He simply replied.

I closed my eyes. "Yes. Let's talk."

Laxus and I had settled to talk to a park nearby the restaurant. The park is nearly empty aside from some kids playing at the swing, making it much more convenient for us to talk.

I sit on a bench and watched the kids while playing. They seem to be enjoying their selves, with their big smiles attached to their cute little faces, their laughter and giggles makes me feel envious. I wish I can do that. Laugh as if it will be the solution to all of my problems.

My moment was ruined by the person sitting beside me. The source of my major problem.

"Spit what you want to tell me."I told him.

"Have you eaten and slept enough?" Laxus quickly asked me.

"That has nothing to do with you just be straight to the point." I retorted.

He takes a deep breath. "Your health has something to do with me Mira, please eat enough and sleep in time." He said.

Whoa. So he's treating me like a child now?

"I want to take care of you. Maybe I had been a womanizer but everyone deserves a second chance right?" He added.

"I can see sincerity in him. Do know that he went here to ask permission to us?"

"If you will just give me a chance I promise not to waste it.." Laxus continued looking at me almost pleadingly.

"Just give him a chance Mira-nee. I can tell that he really likes you. Goodnight."

I was about to talk when he suddenly lift his hand in front of me, silencing me.

"You don't have to answer right away.. After all I won't take No as an answer." He said.

"If you don't need my answer then what's the point of talking to me?" I asked with a raised brow.

Laxus gave me a smile. Had this been a different situation I would probably be happy that finally he had learn to smile, not just a grin or a smirk but I am still hurt and I right now I can't afford to be happy.

"I know I've said it before but I'll say it again and again. I like you and whether you like it or not I'll do my best to prove it."

A/N: Next chapter will much longer and interesting. I think so? Perhaps? Haha I'm not sure. It depends. I know this is quite dull but I have to write this so bear with this chappy.

Review Peeps!
