Juvia arrived past three o' clock on her apartment. The night is so chilling that she quickly ran up to her bed and curled herself together with the pillows.

Her blue eyes stared at the ceiling, breathing calmly before releasing a long sigh. She was troubled by the question her boss - slash- ex boyfriend had thrown her earlier at the club.

"Do you consider getting back with each other?" He asked her, and with his voice she witnessed his sincerity because that question wasn't just like the question their office mates had written for them, it was Gray's.

She answered him confusedly because after long three years, that thought didn't pass on her mind that frequently. Perhaps it has, but she will just remove it from her mind and shake it off.

What even made her warm is when the party was finally over. Everyone is sober aside from her and Gray. Well, they concentrated for the dare the whole night she can say.

She threaded well with her friends, not looking back at him because she knew that he wants to have the 'talk'. Juvia thought that she finally escaped him when she arrived outside the building with her friends, led by Cana who suddenly shouted and it happened that Gray was about to exit the club.

"Gray-kun~!" she exclaimed, Lucy cringed at how high her voice was, then their eyes widened, he's not just a Gray-kun to them. He was their fucking boss.

"The cab is full, we can't take Juvia with us~" she slurred, raising a fist in the air. "We also don't want her to take a cab by herself! Go take your princess hoooome!"

Juvia's eyes snapped at the brunette. She sent her most convincing glare that she could muster to the woman. Her mouth opened to shut Cana but she felt a large hand latching on her wrist.

She was pulled backwards and soon her small back collided against a wide chest.

She stumbled and was thankful for the arm that was snaked around her waist.

"You, okay?" Asked Gray, his voice deep and he's too close because Juvia could feel his warm breath behind her ears.

She quickly pulled away, but failed. Gray held her tightly, not letting go.

She frowned. "Yes, Juvia is fine. You can let go now."

But Gray remained unmoving. Instead, he waved at his female employees and told them that he'll take Juvia home.

The ride was quiet in Juvia's opinion. She remained sitting straightly on the passenger's seat, she didn't even let her back lean against the seat.

Gray drove gently until he shifted lanes and made a quick right turn. Juvia leaned back on her seat, her back straining. She didn't see that coming. Her eyes slowly made its way to Gray.

He was smirking and she couldn't believe it! Was he making fun of her?!

"It's not funny." She mumbled beneath her breath.

Gray faked innocence. "Did you say something?"

Oh, she couldn't stand him. She sighed and looked away.

He made another sudden turn and Juvia gasped. Her temple collided against the window.

Gray seemed to be taken back at that and he pulled the car into a stop and unbuckled his seatbelt so he could see her properly.

She hid her face, frowning. He caressed the top of her blue head, encouraging her to look at him.

"Im sorry." He sighed.

"Don't touch me." She hissed. Gray pulled his hand back and leaned back on his own seat.

"I'll go from here. Thank you for the ride." She grabbed the handle and was about to open the door when Gray started the engine once again. He drove forward and Juvia was left staring at him.

"Gray, Im going to get off here. Please stop the car."

His eyes darkened and were fixed on the road. "No." He told her firmly.

Juvia gulped. Well that was a bad signal.

She went quiet and didn't even try to argue again. They were about to enter her neighborhood when she realized something.

"W-wait... How did you know Juvia's address?!" Her eyes widened and Gray sighed.

"You're my employee," he raised a thick brow. "Of course I knew."

She tilted her head to the side. Well, if that's the case, maybe she's just assuming things.

As if he could read her mind, he spoke next, "Are you assuming that Im stalking you?"

She blinked.

He smiled.

"N-no..." she answered shyly, keeping her eyes straight, avoiding his gaze.

He shrugged. "That reminds me of the past, you always stalk me back in College."

She blinked again, thinking that she heard him wrong. "Excuse me?"

Gray nodded before turning the engine off. "Were here." He pointed his chin towards her building and Juvia's eyes followed it.

"Oh," she replied unintelligently. She unbuckled her safety belt first before her small hand flew to unlock the door. Before she could open it, Gray coughed purposely.

Her sleepy eyes went to him.

"Can I crash in for tonight?" He asked and Juvia's eyes widened at how small his voice was.

A large hand flew to his nape. Juvia continued watching him for a full minute before he started massaging it nervously.

"I'm kinda sleepy and I don't think I can still drive." He felt pathetic at the moment. "I know I'm envading your private space and for a second," he realized what he's saying. "I think I'll just sleep here." He pointed in front of him, referring to his car.

"Uhm, Juvia doesn't really mind." She answered. "You can sleep in the couch, It's small and narrow but she thinks that it's better than here."

…

She tried to close her eyes and was ready to welcome sleep but her mind is so stubborn. It kept on reminding her that a certain person is outside, sleeping on her purple couch and it's not just a certain person. It was Gray Fullbuster. Her boss. Her ex. Her past.

She sighed and checked her phone for the time, it was nearly thirty minutes since they arrived and she wondered how Gray is dealing with her couch.

With a determined sigh, she grabbed a pillow and an extra blanket from her closet. She tip toed her way out of her room and peeked quietly on her small living room.

Dim lights were opened and she managed to walk until she's a feet away from the couch. She released another sigh before peeking from behind the couch.

Oh how Juvia wanted to wake up her boss and offer her bed for him. He doesn't look good and Juvia knew that he would have cramps in the morning. His legs were dangling off the arm rest, his feet flat on the ground.

She quietly sneaked a chair from her dining table and with gentleness, she tried her best not to wake him up, she lifted his legs and placed it on the chair.

That's better.

Juvia proceeded her way in front and snuggled the pillow next to him, spreading the blanket on top of him as well. The bluenette was about to leave him when she noticed that he opened the first two buttons of his shirt.

There she saw his cross necklace, it twinkled against the dim light and she found herelf smiling.

Her eyes went up to his face and she examined it quietly. She indulged the moment because she enjoys watching him sleep and his cheeks were pinkish.

Thick brows were drawn into a deep V. His nose strong and cheeks were sculpted perfectly. She remembered adoring everything about him in the past, there wouldn't be a single day where she wouldn't tell him how handsome or perfect he is.

"Still handsome as ever," she paused. "Juvia wonders if what you said earlier is true." She whispered carefully.

Gray replied with a soft snore.

She giggled and sat on her ankles. Three in the morning is not the best time to do things like this, but Juvia doesn't care. She doesn't like to admit it but she missed this.

"Right now," she sighed, attempting to run her fingers through his black hair but stopped herself immediately upon realizing what she was about to do. "Juvia thinks that if we only understand each other more in the past, maybe," she shuddered. "We're still together, don't you think, Gray-sama?" she called him like the way she used to before.

Gray-sama... it draws a tasteful spice on her tongue. She felt a static running through her back, sending chills on her pale skin.

This shouldn't happen. She already moved on and happy with her life, she wouldn't let this drag her down.

Not anymore.

She stood up and walked back inside her room without looking back.

Unknown to her, black eyes slowly opened and pondered more on what she just asked.

A week after, the blue-haired woman found herself staring at the file report given to her division.

The HR department made some reshuffling of employees and she was included. She thought that her performance was good, even better this month, that's why she wants to complain why she is included?

And she thinks that fate was playing with her because she was transferred on the executive division. A new title given to her; Juvia Lockser, Assistant Secretary to the General Manager, Gray Fullbuster.

….

"Juvia thinks it was Cana-san who did this." Juvia mumbled to herself as she folded the paper back to its envelope. She started arranging her things because she was requested to report immediately to her new department.

She massaged her temples, thinking of having a talk with the brunette. Juvia doesn't find Cana's basis right. An hour later, she found herself walking towards their HR department's office.

The brunette did not look surprised when she saw the Juvia's confused expression.

"For the record, I didn't do anything." She shrugged when Juvia started asking her. "You are requested to transfer."

Blue eyes narrowed. "By whom?" She knew the answer already.

"By Gray." The HR manager answered her. "I can't do anything about it. It's his orders."

She looked at her unbelievably. "Cana-san, I know you, you can always say no to him."

Her brown eyes glittered. "Well... this time I chose to agree with him."

"This is crazy." The bluenette mumbled worriedly.

"Love is crazy, indeed." Cana smirked.

….

Gray looked through his glass panels. He's been waiting for her arrival, the young man was itching to welcome her to his office.

He remembered asking a favor to Cana and he was glad that it wasn't hard to convince the brunette. She seemed to be inclined with the idea and he missed doing the request report.

Cracking his knuckles, he nervously looked at his digital clock placed on the side of his laptop. He requested for her immediate appearance and she still nowhere to be found.

A knock startled him and he composed himself, taking another good look of himself on his smart phone's reflection.

Gray knew that it's her and a smirk covered his lips. "Come in."

Slowly, his door opened and it revealed the bluenette. The expression on her face tells him that she was not amused.

"H-here is the transfer report, Sir." She waved the envelope to him, her eyes looking anywhere but him.

"Okay," Gray huffed. He shuffled some papers on his desk before glancing back at the standing young woman in front of his door. "You may sit first."

With heavy footsteps, Juvia complied. She took the seat and faced him. Her blue eyes were glued on his chest.

"Why?" she spoke when she knew that it's the right timing.

"Why, why?" Gray asked in return, lifting an eyebrow to her.

She gulped. "Im sorry." She bowed her head. "I didn't mean to say it aloud."

"Clumsy." Gray scowled at her. She threw him a glare but composed herself quickly.

He's the boss. She's the secretary.

And that's their only title for each other.

"Sir," she cleared her throat, placing the letter in front of him. Gray was amused on how she change from irritated to professional. "Please inform me of the tasks that I should do."

He nodded. "Let's talk about my rules first."

'Rules your face.' Juvia scowled in her mind but she remained passive outside. She needed a lot of patience so she could stay with her job.

"What I need you to do is to follow me around." He said. "Wherever I am, you should be there. You should give your twenty-four seven to me."

She gaped at him. She wondered if his previous secretary resigned because of that stupid condition of him.

"Do you understand me, Juvia?" he asked.

She nodded slowly, but she knew that it's not fair so she interjected. "How about my rest day?"

"Secretaries doesn't have a rest day. It's up to me if I don't want to see you or whatever."

"Is that so?" she told him sarcastically.

He narrowed his eyes and cleared his throat.

"If you're doing this because of what happened back in the club last week, then I'll give you a proper apology." She told him even though she knew that she wasn't the one in fault.

"Did something happened last week?"

Her eyes widened.

"T-the d-dare!" she stuttered, her cheeks pinking.

"The dare?"

"u-huh!"

He only looked at her.

She closed her eyes, embarrassed at how she look so shaken by him.

"I remember it very well, but I don't think that's the reason why you're here."

"Drop your excuses," she warned him. "Cana told me that it's you who ordered this."

'Damn Cana, she couldn't even keep her mouth shut!' he mentally shouted.

"I based on your performance. And for a new employee like you, it's great to see how much you have advanced in just a short period of time."

Her whole face went red by his compliment.

"Now let's start. I want you to copy this documents and-" his voice went on and Juvia was left listening to his orders, not knowing how or what to start first.

…

Afternoon came and Juvia was already exhausted. She praised Lucy-san for making such an effort by staying as Gray's assistant before she came in.

The said blonde was transferred in the retail department that's why when Juvia learned how hard her job was, she couldn't help but think that Lucy really deserve a break.

"Twenty-four seven."Juvia mumbled under her breath as she took a seat at one of the empty tables in the cafeteria. She brought out her lunch, a bread and started opening it when the chair in front of her moved.

She looked up, startled. Her mouth opened upon seeing Gray taking a seat in the same table where she is.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him.

"What a great way of greeting your boss, huh, Juvia?" he retorted.

She rolled her eyes. "It's break time, were both off duties that's why."

He placed his tray on the table and started sorting the plates on it. He placed one in front of Juvia, took the bread from her hands and kept it away from her.

"Gray, it's not funny."

"You should eat more, bread is not enough." He said without looking at her as he started to distribute their spoon and fork.

"Give Juvia's bread back."

"I will," he paused and narrowed his eyes at her. "If you eat this meal first."

"You don't have to do this." She said, looking back at him.

"I have to." He said determinedly. "You're thinning and I don't like it."

Her heart fluttered and she blinked her eyes. She looked down on her food and started eating it.

He seemed to notice her discomfort. "Don't worry, I'm not doing this just because I want to make up with you."

She shot him a surprised look.

"Im doing this because I don't like weaklings. Bread will not definitely let you survive as my secretary for you first day."

Juvia bit her lip. She returned her gaze back on her food and ate quietly. She was stuck with him and it's just the beginning.

Because of that stupid game, because of that drive to her apartment, because of that sudden transferring, because of that stupid bread, she doesn't know if how long she's able to keep that 'I don't know' answer.

Her eyes peeked up at him and she silently watched him eating while browsing his phone.

'Well maybe... maybe, that would change soon.' A voice from the back of her head whispered.
