CHAPTER 4 - THAT WOMAN...

What just happened, was I a bit too harsh just now? What exactly came over me... Shit, I hope she's okay, I gotta learn to control myself. Bunny Girl was just trying to be nice, I keep pushing people away don't I? I bet she's scared now and won't approach me a second time. Oh well, I guess it's for the best. Is it?

"Hm? Trouble in paradise?" I snapped out of my own thoughts at the sudden voice from behind me.

Wait what? Trouble in paradise? Don't tell me...

"...Huh?" I finally turned around and there she was infront of me, the Demon. She was smirking but also, she seemed a little pissed.

Damn, what did she want? I had no time to deal with her now, i'm still trying to figure out what made Bunny Girl so upset. Also what did she mean by paradise? Was she listening to our conversation just now? Damn, that Demon. Even so what paradise was she refering too? Today is a really confusing day. I hope it gets better.

Mirajane took a seat and did some weird wave i haven't seen before with her hand. But i wasn't dumb, I realized she was hinting me to sit next to her, but why would I? I don't even want to know what she wants to talk to me about this time, that time when she tried to hook me and the Bookworm up, she wouldn't leave my sight! Since then i've been kind of avoiding getting into conversations with her, just thinking what she'll try to do makes me feel weird.

I was gonna tell her to give it up, but she gave me the Demon's glare and i just sat down immediately. Anyone would have done so if they were in my shoes. She was just too damn scary. Dammit.

I made myself comfortable, and then i turned my gaze to her, waiting for her to say whatever it was that she wanted to tell me. Although I rather not know.

The Demon cleared her throat before she began, "Gajeel, I know you have a thing for Lucy, and yes, i can only imagine how cute your little babies will be, bu-"

Huh...?

"What the hell?!" I snapped. I was not expecting this, not at all. The Demon was insane, I should have anticipated this kind of conversation. I thought i've learned my lesson but she was too good. Yeah, this day wasn't getting any better.

"Oi, I don't know what's in that head of yours, but I don't have anything for Lucy, we just started talking, that's all. So you should just stop with your crazy matchmaking shit because it ain't gonna work this time either." It felt good letting it all out.

The Demon just looked at me, and then began laughing. Her laugh was like those evil villains' laugh in the movies.

Scared the shit out of me.

"I'm out of her-" I began but was cut off, she said "You just haven't realized it yet, Gajeel." Realized what? "Good Luck! She's... Really one of a kind!" Mirajane giggled. I didn't bother to ask and went out.

I was already far from the guild, and I passed by what I assumed was Bunny Girl's house, I thought so cause I can always smell Salamander from here and i've heard someone at the guild mentioning she lived somewhere around this area.

Maybe I should apologize for earlier if i'm already here, I still feel kind of bad for making her upset. I didn't mean to sound so cruel.

About a minute after I rang the door bell, she finally decided to open it. The door opened slowly and she was standing there. First I was shocked, but then, I couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped my mouth the second I saw her.

Lucy stood there, her hair was messy as hell, her shirt almost falling off and her skirt was... pulled a little too high up. Damn, she looked really sexy.

She blinked a few times "Eh?! Gajeel? what are you doing here? I was sure it was Natsu! Then again, why would Natsu knock..?" It took her a few seconds or a minute to realize what she was wearing. I could tell by the way she's looking at me right now. Big brown eyes staring at me with shock.

She gasped, loudly, which made me laugh again. She quickly hid behind the door, popping her head out.

"Gajeel! You.. you jerk, why didn't you say anything you... pervert!" You could tell her face was blushing like crazy while she was yelling at me, which made me laugh even harder. She got pissed when I laughed and started waving her hand in my face, probably trying to hit me.

I grabbed her arm and she jumped "Wh..what are you...?" her reaction was amusing which made me want to know what reaction will she make next if I...

Not letting her arm go, I allowed myself to enter her house. I never came here before, it wasn't different than what I imagined though. While I was admiring her house, I noticed she was struggling to get loose "Ga-Gajeel please.. let go.." She whispered, I could tell there was fear in her voice. I felt that I should stop but I really was curious.

I closed the door behind us gently, not saying a word.

Gajeel closed the door slowly, my heart was pounding so fast, I could feel it coming out of my chest. I tried to get out of his hold but his grip was too strong. To be honest I wasn't at all scared, I actually... wanted to see what he'll do next...? I shook my head, shocked of my own thoughts. All I want is to get out of his grip and change these clothes quickly! Yes that's all. Is he going to let me go?! I decided to wait.

And when Gajeel pushed me against the wall, that's when I started to really freak out.

"Ga-" I was about to yell but was dumbstruck when I looked up, I couldn't speak.

He was staring down at me, his eyes were dark and... so... I couldn't stop staring back, what was it that made me not want to look away... I dont know. My heart was pounding even faster now. I gulped and finally managed to look away. What is this strange feeling that's making me so flustered...?

His loud chuckle made me lose my thoughts and I turned my head back to look at him. He was now holding his stomache laughing.

"H-huh? What's so funny..?" I asked, the feeling I had earlier disappearing. And I was starting to get pissed.

Gajeel stopped laughing and looked at me "You are" he simply said. Me? That's... Was he maybe teasing me just now?

I clenched my fists and stared at him, not hiding the fact that I was pissed off. "Do you enjoy embarassing people or something?" I said trying to sound as harsh and mean as I can, he's not the only one who can do that! "You're the worst! No wonder everyone at the guild tries to avoid you-" My eyes widened at my own words.

The house was suddenly very silent, and Gajeel chuckled.

Gajeel smiled down at me, it was a different smile, his eyes were... I went too far...!

"Gajeel I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to... I wasn't thinking..." I said quickly. "Relax Bunny Girl. I'm sorry I made you upset again, I just came to say sorry for earlier at the guild." He said.

"Anyway, I'll leave now." He opened the door. "See ya" he left.

"..."

Without thinking I opened the door again "Gajeel! I'm sorry, don't leave like that!" I had to yell because he was already far from the house. I was still standing next to the door and decided to go after him. Gajeel heard me and turned around, so I called him again. Suddenly people started staring at me, I knew I was yelling but it felt like they were lauhghing at me...? I was going to call him again but he suddenly started walking really fast towards me.

I was suprised because I didn't think he would come but as he got closer I smiled "I'm really so-" I gasped as Gajeel pulled me by the arm back to my house. "Gajeel?!" I said as he closed the door behind us once again. "...Just put some clothes on." He said.

I stood there for almost a minute, dumbstruck and unable to move. I went out like this, wearing almost nothing, now I understand why people were staring. Also I'm standing now infront of Gajeel, wearing almost nothing.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!" I screamed and started running to my room. I could hear Gajeel cracking up again from behind me, I was relieved to hear his laughter but it also made me feel even more embarassed than I already was and I put both my hands on my face out of embarassment.

After I changed into something less revealing, I went back to the living room where Gajeel was sitting on the sofa. I couldn't help it and I grinned when I saw him, I was sure he'd leave by the time I finished getting dressed but he didn't seem to move when he saw me.

"Want to drink something?" I suggested, standing near him.

"Coffee I guess, thanks." He replied. He didn't look at me though.

Without thinking too much into it, I made my way to the kitchen and started preparing his coffee. And suddenly I felt movement from behind me which made my heart race, what is wrong with you Lucy. I turned only my head to see Gajeel standing there. "I didn't tell you how I like it," He said and I stared at him confused. How he liked it? What? "My coffee." he said. "Oh right!" I laughed, "I didn't start yet so..."

I let him through by standing back and he stood at the same spot where I just stood at. I felt a little nervous, having him in my kitchen, in my house. Hmm... To think just the other day we were almost like complete strangers, I feel like we've became like... friends, no? But why am I feeling like it's... Not enough... I noticed I was staring at his back, his shoulders were big... Really big and strong. My eyes trailed down to his- "Oi," I raised my head quickly. "Y-yes?" I asked, he scared me.

"Where's the spoons?" He asked.

"Oh," I opened the drawer and took out a spoon "...Here" I was going to hand it to him but my hand shook and the spoon fell. "I... I'm sorry!" I was going to bent down but Gajeel did before me. "I'll get you a new one!" I tried to pull the spoon from him but he was grabbing it harder than I thought. I suddenly lost my balance and was about to fall backwards, I had to grab something so without a second thought I grabbed Gajeel by the shirt, which made Gajeel lose his balance and Gajeel fell backwards too. And I on top of him.

Bang.

"Ow-" I said, but nothing seemed to hurt. I opened my eyes which I closed in the middle falling out of fear, and saw the red eyes I knew pretty well looking at me. I gasped. "Ga-Gajeel I'm so sorry! Oh no, what have I done!" I looked at him with worry, it looked like he fell on his head. Gajeel didn't reply, he closed his eyes. "G-Gajeel?" I could feel my voice cracking up. He still didn't reply. "Gajeel p-please answer me..." I whispered, tears were already trickling down. Is he...? No way...!

Suddenly he chuckled. "Eh?" I looked at him dumbfounded. I can't believe it! I was tricked again! Damn him!

I wiped the tears from my eyes aggresively and I hit his shoulder. "Ow!" He said loudly. I panicked "Sorry! I forgot you fell!" I apologized.

"You really do believe everything I do or say, don't ya?" Gajeel said laughing.

"You mean that was also a lie?" I asked, pissed off.

He noticed I was pissed off "Yeah," He smirked "It was."

"You're so mean..." I sighed.

Gajeel chuckled, "Forget that, don't you think you should get off already?" He said smirking. "Or is it comfortable on top of me...?"

"Wha-" I gasped when I realized the position we were. Gajeel was laying on his back, and I was sitting on top of him. My face turned the deepest shade of red as I looked at Gajeel with shock. I was afraid to get off, I didn't want to... How do I get off!?

"H-how do I get off?" I asked, I didn't want to sit on him any longer...!

I could see Gajeel's eyes widening, I was confused but I didn't bother thinking now.

Suddenly I felt his hands on my waist, my heart was pounding fast again. Why is he... I'm so nervous... Why am I so nervous? He's just touching my waist. Just touching my waist. I gulped. "Ga-Gajeel.. Why are you..." I whispered, afraid to speak so my voice doesn't sound weird.

"Stop moving so much! You wanted help didn't you?" Gajeel groaned.

I didn't realise that I was moving so much. "I'm s-sorry." I've been stuttering too much lately.

Gajeel tightened his grip on my waist, which made my heart pound again, and he somehow lifted me from him, putting me on the floor beside him. I blushed.

"Sorry..." I said as Gajeel sat up on the floor.

"Don't be Bunny Girl," He smirked. "I enjoyed it.." He said.

I was blushing harder now. "Pervert!" Gajeel chuckled.

"Well Bunny, I think it's about time I head out." Gajeel said looking at the clock on my wall. I looked too and was suprised to see it was already this late.

"What about the coffee?" I asked.

Gajeel stood up, "Another time." He said. My heart skipped a beat.

"N-next time, yeah." I grinned. NEXT TIME!

I closed the door of her house behind me and took a deep breath.

Seriously, that woman.
