Okay, I looked and this was a short chapter, too, so I decided to update this now.
"So, uh," Lucy stuttered. She hugged her arms closer to her chest, trying not to look at Gray. He was being very distracting. His shirt was already off, which she was carrying. She never knew he had a stripping problem. He said his mother is the reason, which she found odd, but didn't push the matter.
"Hey, lets stop at this cafe," Gray said. "They have the best coffee in town." He opened up the door for Lucy. She ducked her head and quickly went inside. He chuckled and followed her inside.
"Hello, what can I get you two?" the cashier asked. She looked at forty and had short black hair. Her eyes landed on Gray and she smiled. "Mocha Jam with whipped cream, right?"
"Make that two, and I need a chunk of frosted bread," he said. He led Lucy to a table without paying.
"What's a Mocha Jam?" Lucy asked, sitting down. When she looked at the menu, she didn't know what anything was.
"It's basically raspberry hot chocolate with caffeine," he said. He leaned back in his seat.
"Do you come here a lot? She already knew what you wanted." She thought it would be nice to go somewhere so often the employees knew what you wanted. She never stayed in one place for long, so she never experienced that.
"Let's just say I come here a lot," he laughed.
"Your order," the cashier said, setting two cups and a plate of frosted bread on the table. "Just let me know if you need anything else." She bowed before going back to the counter.
Lucy watched Gray take a drink. He seemed to like it. She brought the cup to her lips and took a small sip. Her face lit up. "Its amazing," she said.
"Now let me show you how to eat the bread," he said. He took the plastic lid off his cup. He ripped off a piece of bread. After dipping it in his drink, he popped it in his mouth. "Seriously, its the best way to eat it."
She hestitently took the lid off her cup. She slowly ripped a piece of bread from the mini loaf. She dipped it in her cup and ate it. She was surprised at how good it was. Gray smiled and ate another piece.
By the time the bread was gone, their drinks were, too. The nice cashier actually brought them each another cup.
"Okay, do you want to know how we got these for free?" he asked. He put his hand up to his mouth like he was about to say a big secret. "My family owns this place."
"Gray!" Lucy yelled. She threw her lid at him. He laughed and caught it. "Your opinion was so biased!" She could hear the cashier laughing from the counter. With a closer look, she realized it was Gray's mom.
"My opinion was not biased. I'm offended you would think so," he said, fake shocked.
"Offended my ass," she said. She grabbed a couple straws from the cup beside her and threw them at him.
"Whoa," he said, catching each straw. "Are you challenging me to a straw fight?" She smiled and shrugged. "You are going to regret that decision." He grabbed a handful of straws and started throwing them at her. She grabbed the straws from the table beside them.
"Ah!" she gasped, putting her hands up. Fifty straws were thrown at her at once. She blocked most of them, but was still hit. She grabbed a few off the floor and threw them at Gray. He easily dodged them.
"Gray!" his mother, Ur, snapped. Both teens froze. "You better clean that mess up!"
"Sorry, Mom," Gray mumbled. He knelt on the ground and started picking up straws. Lucy laughed and helped him.
Ten minutes later, all of the straws were picked up. Gray slumped back into his chair and took a drink of his cold Mocha Jam.
"I'm going to the bathroom, okay?" Lucy asked. She excused herself and went to the restroom.
Not a moment after she left, Gray heard a phone vibrating. He looked over and saw her phone laying in the table. He picked it up and looked at the screen. She got a text from '-.' He found it odd that the person didn't have a name in her phone, but three hyphens. Curiosity getting the better of him, he read the text.
'Amy Johnson
Kyle Lander
Josh Hon
Jellal Fernandes
Natsu Dragneel'
He read the text at least five times. He wanted to know what the text was for, and why Jellal and Natsu's names appeared. If he asked Lucy, she would get mad at him for reading the text.
Just like what happened at that park, he decided to forget.
