The guys are just as excited as us! The girls immediately ran back to the bus to start looking for dresses online after telling the guys, but Natsu stopped me asking to speak to me privately pulling me into a random spare room. Making sure that no one can hear us, he starts.
"Are you okay?" He asks "I remember you telling me that you and Laxus used to go out and you hadn't spoken in quite a while. I wanted to beat his ass for making you feel so bad!"
I smiled and felt a jolt in my heart at his sentiment. It was nice having him concerned about me.
"Honestly I'm fine. We cleared everything up and we are now back on speaking terms."
"So your saying that your ex boyfriend, who you haven't spoken to in ages, suddenly rings up after, from what you told me, a bad breakup and suddenly asks you and all of us to come to his premier of his movie?"
"It wasn't really a bad break up. We had our reasons but yes that's pretty much it."
"Just as friends?" he asks concerned
"Yeah" I don't like where this was going
"Doesn't that concern you at all?"
"What do you mean?" I look back at him bemused. I REALLY don't like where this is going.
"Well wouldn't you be concerned that he hasn't spoken to you all of this time and he has suddenly invited us all to this major event just after you guys become famous and go on a big tour? It's a bit sudden isn't it?"
"I don't think so. We had a conversation about it all and it's been 8 months since we were together. He just wants to say thanks for the help I gave him to get into acting."
Natsu still does not look convinced "Okay Luce. But do you think he still has feelings for you?"
This shocks me for a second. Does he still have feelings for me? I don't really know. The reason why we broke up wasn't his fault, it's not like we stopped loving each other. I mean, he did call me by his nickname for me. But that must be because he is used to call me that all the time. Plus he never mentioned anything to me about getting back together on the phone. It doesn't matter anyway because I've had a lot of time to think over this tour and I realised that I don't have feelings for Laxus anymore because I had decided to move on and I ended up developed feelings for Natsu.
"I don't think so. He never said anything to me of the sort."
He didn't look so convinced as I was. "Okay. But if he does start something, I'll be close by to stop it."
I chuckle "I'd like to think that he wouldn't try something Natsu but I will keep it in mind."
Natsu looks back at me in a serious tone "Seriously Luce. If he tries something that you don't like, just signal me over and I will be there. I promise. I won't let anything happen to you."
I choose this moment to look into his eyes and I can see the sincerity behind them. But looking back at him like this makes me want to bring up what happened in the recording studio. I need to know where we stand.
"Natsu…." I start seeing him look back at me with concern "..a..about what happened in the studio-"
"It doesn't matter Luce" Natsu interrupts. I look at up at him shocked giving him a quizzical look. Natsu sighs as he starts to explain "When you sing you sing with your emotions and I with mine. We just got caught up in the moment that's all. I'm sorry if you thought that something was happening back there"
My heart sinks as reality sinks in. He doesn't like me in that way. I knew he didn't. I really was just kidding myself. I look back at him trying to mask my feelings. "Yeah. Yeah that's what I was just making sure of. I didn't want to get feelings mixed up here and all. I mean, I just got caught up in the song since it is a beautiful love song and I wanted to make sure that you knew that." I babble, knowing fully in my heart that I didn't mean a single word of it.
Natsu looks back at my poker face and smiles his amazing grin that I have come to love since I've met him. "Great. So….still friends?"
I nod "Yeah still friends." We both move in to give each other a hug, and as I am holding him, I feel all of my emotions rushing back to the surface, mixing in with that amazing electricity I feel everytime we touch each other, but now masked with a pang of pain as the word 'friends' is stuck in my mind. I say good bye and start walking back to my room to help the girls pick out their dresses for the premier carrying my heavy heart behind me.
I can't believe how fast time flies! It seems only yesterday that I was receiving an invitation from Laxus to his premier and now all of a sudden I am actually in the back of a limo with the girls and the boys are in another behind us! This is amazing! I never thought that we would go to a red carpet event! I would always stay up and watch any red carpet event and now I am part of one! I am so excited! Plus, we didn't have to pay for our dresses! Ever since we told Mira-Jane, she went full force manager on us saying that we could count the dresses as 'expenses' and a gift from her as a well done for doing so well so far!
So here we are now. I am in a soft blue strapless and backless flowing dress, Erza is in a silver tight straight floor length dress, Levy is in her trademark orange halterneck floor length dress with blue gems on it to match her hair and Juvia is in a navy strapless dress that falls to the knees and clips in at her waist. It's safe to say we all look amazing! I feel amazing aswell! Mira did the full works on us! She gave us the day off and were treated a pamper day with a hair stylist and make up artist to make sure that we looked the part. The best part is that the boys don't know what we look like yet! Poor Gray was trying to talk to Juvia before going the premier but we barred him and the boys from seeing any of us before we walk on the red carpet. Juvia wanted to give him a surprise when he saw her and we all thought it would be good fun. Mira-Jane was the one who stopped the boys, but that didn't stop them trying to get in! She definitely had her work cut out while we were getting ready. Eventually the boys gave up when we threatened to douse them in perfume and give them a make over.
Suddenly we heard large screams as our door opens, we look at each other, give each other a smile as if to say good luck and we walk out onto the red carpet, being helped out by our chauffeur. I went out first, then Juvia, then Erza then Levy. The second that we make our way onto the carpet, we are bombarded by photographers and reporters trying to find out anything about us that they could. We were told to stand this way, then that, then turn around, do the same and move on up. Luckily we had a guy helping us out on where to stand and look. After about 5 minutes I suddenly heard a deafening scream coming from the crowd and the guys have appeared on the carpet. Again even more photographers are flashing away as the boys stand together getting their picture taken. Eventually they move on up and they almost collide with us. We say hello and are told to go together for a group photo. I feel like a million dollars right now and nothing is going to stop me from not enjoying this moment.
I look over to see Juvia and Gray together, I am standing with Natsu in the group photo and we both turn to see that Juvia and Gray are holding hands! Juvia is bright red and Gray suddenly is asked to move over to a bunch of photographers, instead bringing Juvia along with him. Juvia is stunned as we all look over to watch them two together.
"I am sick of pretending like there is nothing between us Juvia. I already got the okay from Mira-Jane to do this" Gray says and out of no where he kisses her! Right infront of the photographers! In public! Oh my god! I am grabbing onto Natsu as if to work out if what I am seeing is real! We are all screaming in delight and so are the fans and photographers. Out of nowhere the reporters are screaming at Gray.
"Who is this girl Gray?"
"How long have you been dating?"
"This is Juvia Lockser! She is in the band The Mages that we are touring with at the moment and we have been dating for over a month! We have kept it quiet to see how it went and I can happily say that we can make it official now!" We all stare back in shock as Gray makes his declaration about him and Juvia. I can not believe that he actually is doing this! I am so happy for them! I see Juvia's face calm down from the bright red that was plastered on her face before and grab him into a hug and kiss him for all of the photographers to see! The rest of us are told to move on as Gray and Juvia are told to stay for some more photos. Eventually we are inside the building for the premier and are later joined by Juvia and Gray, hugging and congratulation them!
"Congratulations dude but why there of all places?" Jellal asked.
"Well it was now or never in my mind. Juvia and I were sick of hiding that we were together so I decided to take actions, told Mira-Jane that we were dating -don't worry "Gray interjects seeing Juvia's scowl "She already knew that we were dating. She worked it out last week apparently when she caught you sneaking into my room. Anyway I told her that I didn't want to hide anymore and she said that I could go public with her and despite what Makarov would say, apparently he would be fine with it too, so I thought. Why not?" He said looking at Juvia with pride.
"Gray-sama" Juvia says melting into Gray's chest as he puts an arm around her.
"Well isn't that sweet" I hear as I am suddenly thrown into shock. I turn around to the voice behind me and I see the man I have been hiding from for 8 months.
"Who are you"
