Chapter 15 POV Cana
After class that night I sat in the pub with a beer before me. "I wish they'd find the bastard! He is making everyone miserable. Not to mention taking all of those lives. What a sick bastard!" I thought to myself. "Cana, you okay?" Mira asked as she came and sat beside me. "Yes and no." I replied hoping she would leave it alone. Though that didn't seem to be in the cards.
Mira sipped on her drink occasionally looking at me, hoping that I would talk more; but I didn't really want to talk. "Is that my babe sitting there looking so gloomy?" A man asked as he walked towards me. "Bacchus! You're here!" I squealed with delight. I jumped up amd ran stumbling towards him. "Damn, I drank more than I had thought I did." I thought as I finally reached him. "It's been forever since I last saw you! Where have you been now?" I pouted as I played with the dangling white ribbon.
He grinned at me happily before kissing me. I blushed so hard so fast. We had not told anyone that we had been seeing each other. I broke the kiss to catch my breath. "Mmm. You're not gonna tell me are you?" I asked taking his hands in mine. "Not at the moment." Bacchus said before kissing me hard.
A man clearing his throat behind Bacchus brought us back to where we were. I looked up and found my father looking at us. "Father...What are you doing here? I heard that you were on a job." I stuttered nervously. "Cana, I just got back into town and I wanted to see you. So, I asked around the guild hall to find out where you were." My father, Gildarts replied crossing his arms across his chest. "Oh! Welcome home, Father!" I beamed at him. "This is Bacchus." I gripped Bacchus' hand. My father raised an eyebrow at the two of us holding hands before him. "Bacchus, this is my father; Gildarts." I said nervously. My father extended a hand with a smile. Bacchus took his hand and shook it. "Cana, is there something that you need to tell me?" Gildarts asked looking from Bacchus to me.
I cleared my throat and took a breath. "Oh boy." I thought nervously. "Father, Bacchus and I have been seeing each other for about four months now." I stated as I put my head on his shoulder. Bacchus nodded with a smile as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. My father stayed quiet and it seemed like the whole pub was holding their breath, watching and waiting for his response.
After what seemed to be so much longer than it actually was my father smiled. His smile made everyone relax. The three of us talked for hours over beers. "Cana, shouldn't you head home? You have class in the morning." Mirajane asked as the pub began to empty. "You're right. I probably should head back to my apartment." I said some what drunk. "Do you need me to walk with you?" Mira asked setting her drink down. "No, Mira. I'll walk with her." Bacchus grinned happily and perhaps just as drunk as I am. I couldn't help but smile. Mirajane raised an eyebrow at the two of us.
"We will be fine, Mira. Promise." I grinned as I grabbed Bacchus' hand. "Alright. Y'all be safe and get some sleep." Mira said with a grin. The two of us got up and began to walk towards the door of the pub. "I LOVE YOU, CANA!" My father called from the floor. "Yea. Yea, I know." I said as I turned to face him with a huge grin on my face.
The two of us grinned happily as we continued on our way out of the pub. "I've missed you so much, Bacchus." I said holding his hand as the door to the pub closed behind us. "I know, Cana. I'm sorry I was gone so long and I have missed you too, babe." bacchus said before he kissed my cheek. I smiled back at him happily. "But you are gonna be leaving again soon aren't you?" I asked with a slightly pouty look on my face. "If there is a job that I'm interested in and pays well then yea I may leave soon again." bacchus said dropping his head slightly. "Oh Bacchus. I'll miss you so much." I said with a sigh as I put my head on his shoulder.
We stopped outside of my apartment with a small sigh. "Stay with me?" I asked him as I dug through my small blue purse, looking for my keys. "Yes, Cana. I would love to stay with you." Bacchus replied with a grin. "Come on in." I smiled as I opened the door to my small one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. The two of us walked inside and as he looked around, I locked my door behind me. In my living room was a large t.v sitting on a desk across the room from a royal blue sofa. Bacchus stood there grinning at me. I giggled softly. "What are you staring at?" I mumured as I pushed my hair out of my face. "Well, there is this beautiful babe standing in front of me. I just can't help it. I cant help but stare at her." He replied as he walked towards me. "Beautiful, huh?" I said with a small sigh. "What am I going to do with you?" He chuckled lightly. "I could think of a few things." Bacchus smiled before kissing me. The two of us finally made it up to my bedroom.
The two of us sprawled out on my bed holding each other. "I love you, Bacchus. Promise me that you will be safe while you are traveling." I said laying my head on his chest. "I love you too, babe." He replied before planting a kiss on the top of my head.
