Chapter 17: A Special Place
Juvia's POV
"Watch, check. Cellphone charger, check. Emergency money, check..." I was checking the things inside my bag to see if I have everything for today because... We'll be having our first date~
Well, what Juvia meant was... A first date with him after he came back. It's a nice thing to do since he needs to make up for the months he wasn't with me. Today, Juvia's wearing a simple blue dress, right above her knees, a white jacket folded to her elbows, white stilettos and Juvia wore the gifts Gray-sama bought for her: The earrings, necklace and our couple ring. ♡
Today is one of the most special days of our lives so I must go all on out.
I checked the time and gaped. "Oh no! Its already 5:05??" Juvia wants her date on the right time and now, she's late for 5 minutes!
"This can't be happening!" Juvia dashed out from her room and got outside of the house quickly and got a taxi. Juvia needs to double time every time we have a date.
Juvia got inside the taxi when it arrived and we got into the Cafe, 30 minutes late. I went inside and looked for Gray-sama. I spotted him at the last row and he still hasn't ordered anything yet. Oh no, he must be hungry.
I ran quickly to his side and gave him a quick kiss on the cheeks and sat down, across him. He smiled. "Hey, did something happened?"
"I'm really, really sorry. Juvia forgot to check her watch and on my way here, there's a traffic jam." I explained, catching her breath since she is panting a bit.
He chuckled. "Its fine. Anyways, what do you want? Coffee?" He points at the Menu in front of me. I picked it up and searched something good.
"Hmm... Coffee and a piece of blueberry cheesecake." I answered and he nodded. "Wait for a while, I'll just go and order it." And then, there he goes.
Juvia quickly dialed the number of Lucy. "Hello?"
(Juvia! So, how's the date?)
"Juvia failed BIG time! I was late for 30 minutes and when I got here, he still hasn't ordered anything! Aww... He must've been hungry all along."
(Wrong move, Juvia. What did you do?? Why are you late??)
"Well.." Juvia scratched her cheeks. "Juvia was preparing for the date... And it took hours before I can finish everything, literally." How all girls act during their date. Were always late.
(Oh, hahaha! I was once like that too. Hehe... Now, I get it. Next time, you should be early. Got it?)
"Hai! Roger!"
(Okay, good. Now, go and make that date a success! Ta ta~♡)
"Bye." I said and she hangs up. Next time, I'll surely be on time.
A few minutes later, Gray-sama arrived with our order. We begun eating after he sat down. I took a bite from the blueberry cheesecake and it tastes good. "Hmm~♥ Its so good!"
He chuckled and ate his food silently. He ordered a slice of chocolate cake and iced coffee. Later, he suddenly reaches his spoon with the cake on it and said, "Here, try this."
Juvia blushed at the thought. B-But... Gray-sama ate on that already. Then, feeding it to Juvia is... embarassing. ♡.♡This isn't the first time though but Juvia's not used to it even though were dating for months now.
Juvia accepts it and eats it. Erase the embarrassing thoughts! I chewed on it. "It tastes good!" Juvia said, smiling in agreement.
He smiled back saying, "I think so too. This cafe is one of the best places to go if you're going to date."
I nodded in agreement. Wait, does Gray-sama want a bite of my cheesecake too? I sliced a spoonful of my cheesecake and reached my hand out to his mouth. "Ahh~♡"
He smiled, accepting and eating it. You could say that he changed in many ways...
Juvia twirls her spaghetti and reaches it on Gray-sama's mouth while saying "Ahh~"
He backed away a little, AGAIN, and asked "J-Juvia, you don't really need to---"
I remembered our date 3 months ago... He's a bit embarrassed when Juvia tried to feed him but now, he's not embarrassed anymore. If this is what his grandfather trained him, Juvia should thank him! I guess, this is the effect of him, going away for 3 months.
"...via?"
Juvia snapped out from her thoughts and saw him staring. "E-Eh? W-What are you saying, Gray-sama?"
He furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I was asking you, Are you okay, Juvia?, because you're kinda spacing out. Is something bothering you?"
I quickly averted my eyes and shook my head. Shoot, wrong move again. Don't ever space out. "N-Nothing's wrong! Haha! Juvia was just noticing something."
"Huh? Noticing something? From me?" He asked, pointing his finger at himself. Erm... I shouldn't have said that.
"I-I will tell it to you later...! F-For now, let's eat! Hahaha..." I said nervously. Even my hands are shaking and my body, shivering.
Later, a few minutes, he just said. "O-kay." Weird. He must've think that I turned into a weirdo. A weird girlfriend.
"S-So," change the subject, change the subject. "How's your vacation, Gray-sama? We hadn't really talked about that."
"Oh, in the States? Its fine, I guess but its kinda lonely..." then he stares into Juvia's eyes. "...without you there."
*badump* *badump*
Juvia looked away again, hiding her blush and embarrassment. "E-E-Eh? R-Really? J-Juvia's the same too. Haha, what a coincidence. Ahaha! Ahaha!"
Juvia's acting TOO WEIRD, right?
He pinched my cheeks a bit and said, "Tch. You don't really need to be so embarrassed about it."
As if, Juvia thought. I'm a girl and any girl would blush if a man says that to her. (Let's fast forward this awkward moment.)
After a few minutes, we went out of the cafe. The food was really delicious and in the end, Gray-sama pay for it. Juvia wants to pay it but he insisted.
I sighed, catching his attention. "Is something wrong, Juvia?" He asked, holding my right shoulder. I shook my head and said, "No, nothing's wrong. Juvia's just satisfied, that's all."
"You're satisfied with eating?" He asked, smirking a little. I know, he's mocking me. "Tsk, Gray-sama's so mean!" I said, hitting him playfully on his arm.
"Hahaha! I get it, I get it! Hahahaha!" He laughed at my childish actions. I haven't changed a bit with my actions.
(Let's skip this part.)
After eating, we went outside, hand-in-hand. "So, where do you wanna go next?" He asked, looking at me.
"Anywhere is fine, I guess." I answered back with a smile. He smiled back and surprisingly, he heads over to a blue new-looking motorcycle. That gave me a million questions in my head. What is he doing?
He throws me a helmet and he hops on the motorcycle. I was confused. I went over to him and said, "Gray-sama, you should know that stealing is bad, right?"
He chuckled at my answer. "What? Hahaha. This is my motorcycle. Dad bought me one, for fun and dates."
I got a bored look. Dates? "What do you mean DATES?" The S word is bothering me.
He pats my head and pulls me closer to him. "My dates.... With you."
I playfully rolled my eyes off him. "Yeah right, maybe with someone else." He laughed, holding his tummy back. "Sheesh! You're jealous again! Hahaha!"
Juvia pouts. Its nothing to laugh about. He pulls me and lets me sit behind his back. "Just hold on tight." He whispered silently.
I held unto his waist tightly and hoping that my dress won't get ripped off and show my shorts. He turns the motorcycle on and we got off. The motorcycle was fast, indeed. Maybe it was the latest model. After all, Mr. Silver is rich.
Juvia can feel her hair flowing through the air, her arms getting tighter on his waist and her head getting close to his back. I can feel his heart beat and his way of breathing in this process. Then, I noticed something... His perfume changed.
T^T Waahh... Why did he changed it? It was Juvia's favorite perfume from him. But, his perfume today isn't actually bad though. Maybe, it was from the States or from his grandfather. Speaking of his grandfather, I haven't met nor seen him. What does he look like? Juvia needs to meet him to thank him for taking care of Gray-sama in the States well.
"Juvia, are you okay? Are we going too fast?" He asked worriedly, leaning back a bit. I shook my head as my answer.
I wonder, where are we going? I gasped, at the thought. What if were going to the Church to get married? Wait, were too early for it!! Getting married, then... Ahh, its making Juvia blush again. Getting married is too fast but... I-Its not like Juvia hates it or... UGH.
Stop thinking about something that won't happen!
Well, it might happen in the future though. ❤
After a few minutes, we arrived at a greenish park. There is nobody in the park though. Just fresh air, bluish sky and greenish grass. I hopped out of his motorcycle and asked, "What are we doing here?"
He parks his motorcycle on the side and he gets my helmet out of my head. "This is the place where I usually go when I was a kid. I found it accidentally when I was running."
"Running? Why were you running?" I asked curiously. There's no reason to run, right? Maybe, there is.
"Its part of my athletic skills. I like running." He said, holding my hand again. "Follow me."
We walked inside the park and yes, there is nobody here. You can actually see the butterflies and birds in the skies. It was a peaceful and quiet place. "Where are we actually going?" I asked again, because... Were still walking.
"Shh, were almost there." He answered back and it assured me. As we went further, my mouth gaped at what I'm seeing right now.
A big clean blue pond with birds, clean green grass and there's a tree at the side of the lake. A perfect view for dates. There's also benches around the place and butterflies. I was really surprised that the pond is clean because usually, ponds around here are dirty.
"Woah." I said in amazement. "You found this place? By yourself?"
"Yeah, its kinda... Unbelievable, right? If you ask me, I was amazed too that I found a place like this." He said, making the two of us sit in one of the benches. "Its been a while since I came here... I just remembered about this place, three days ago. And, you're the first person I ever brought here."
"Really?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yeah. I forgot about this place a few years ago. I... Don't know, why I suddenly remembered it now."
I put out my phone and my monopad. "What are you doing?" He suddenly asked, looking at what I'm doing.
"I told you before, I like to take pictures in a date." Juvia said, remembering the time when we ate ice cream at Paris and we took a picture. I fixed my monopad and raised it up, positioning it. "Gray-sama, Juvia believes that you remembered this because, maybe this is your special place. A place where you can relax. A place that is peaceful and happy in a simple way."
I raised my monopad in the air and smiled. "Say cheese~!" In 3 seconds, we were both smiling and the picture was perfect. "Time to change my cover photo!"
He chuckled and pats me on my head, like a little kid. "Hahaha, you sure say things in a cute way."
I felt my cheeks turning red when he said that. "W-What did you sa-----" Juvia was cut off when he suddenly kisses me on the lips.
When he lets go, he was smirking. "Hey, this was supposed to be a happy and romantic date so let's avoid fighting today."
