Chapter 19

Gray leaned closer "G-gray ?"erza said. They were inches apart. Thats when gray couldn't take it anymore he crashed his lips on to Erza's lips.
Erza eyes widen gray was kissing her she couldn't believe it. She put her hands on his chest and pushed him away . "Erza ?" gray said . "I ... I'm sorry !" erza said she got up and began to run nearly falling but she continued . "Erza wait !!" gray said. She ran and ran ignoring gray who was calling out to her for her to stop. He then tripped and rolled back down the river bank falling into the water . He was greeted by cold water soaking him all over he sat up . "Dammit " he said he shook himself his hair wet and clothes full of water . But that was the least thing he was worried about. He looked up towards were erza ran off. "Erza "

Erza arrived in her house and shut the door as soon as possible. "He kissed me .." Erza said she touched her lips this is what he wanted she loves gray and everything but why did she run away ? why didnt she kiss back ? she sat down. She knew the answer herself . She was scared. What if what happen with jellal happens all over she wouldn't bare the pain and there's no going back she already fell to deeply in love with gray if he was to leave her , her heart wouldn't be able to handle another heart break was has become of her hasn't gray shown her she can trust him ? the thing is she doesn't know if gray loves her. "What If he doesn't love me ? and just kissed me cause it was the moment ? does he feel the same way I feel for him ? " Erza said . She sat down fighting over her thoughts . "Stop it erza your acting like a teenage girl !"erza said hitting her head. "Of course he doesn't like you .. It was just a kiss .. Doesn't mean he actually loves me .. "Erza said it hurt her heart when she said those words . "He doesnt love you .. No one will ever love me .. " Erza said.

Gray arrived at her door. He knocked and knocked but she didnt answer. He signed she must not want to see him. he went in his house. he sat on the couch."maybe that means she doesn't love me .." Gray said . He signed he really grew to love erza but she just doesn't know it. He walked around thinking what to tell her tomorrow he paced back in forth. "You have big breast and a huge ass i was attracted to you that why i kissed you" gray said he imagine himself saying that to her . "No I can't say that she'll slap me !" Gray said he though again " I think your hot thats why I kissed you !" gray said . "No no I cant say that " gray said . "you pretty that's why I kissed you ?" gray said "no she'll think I like her cause the looks !" gray said he kept on and on . "You reminded me of my mom !" gray said . He stopped . "That's not good at all " he said he sat down in his couch "what am I gonna do " gray said. "maybe if I tell he the truth that I love her .... But what if she doesn't love me ?" gray said. He cleared his throat he keeps stuttering and shaking "well .. Umm erza I think your beautiful and .. I love you and I .. Want to be .. More than - "I can't do it , it's hard saying what I feel ..." Gray said . "When it comes to her I get so nervous I break a sweat, she the first girl that ever made me feel this way .." Gray said that's when his phone rang . He went to the counter where his phone was at that's when he saw the caller ID. He sign and looked at it just staring and then turned it off . "Maybe going to sleep will take my mind of some things "gray said soon he drifted off to sleep .

Next morning gray woke up an changed he rushed out his house immediately. He went to erza door and knock but she didnt answer he knock a few more times still no answer . "she's not there my boy " he turned it was the old lady . "Do you know where she went ?" gray said . "She left really early to the cafe " the old lady said. "Thanks" gray said and rush off. "that girl sure is lucky " the old lady said giving a soft smile and disappearing into her house. gray ran to the cafe he open the door. "have y'all seen erza ?" he said . "She was here a couple of hours ago she probably went to work " freed said . "Thanks he said and rushed off. "Why is he looking for erza ?" freed asked Mira. "I don't know but I can't tell by his eyes that he's in love with her " Mira said smiling softly. gray ran into the building he didnt he stop to say hi to the counter guy like he always does he went straight into the elevator waiting impatiently for it to get to the top floor. "what am I even gonna tell her ? I didn't even plan out what I was gonna say " gray said . He was starting to panic" I guess ill just have to come up with some thing when I see her " gray said . That's when the elevator opened Nd gray rushed out bumping into someone they both fell backwards . "Oww" they both groaned. They sat up an their eyes opened wide. "Gray ?" "erza !" thy both said . Erza began to blushed and looked away and then saw all her papers scattered everywhere . "I'm sorry let me help you " gryphon said helping her and they both picked up the piles of papers gray handed them to erza . "T-thanks " erza said without looking at him an she began to leave . "wait erza I have to talk to you it's important " gray said . Erza knew that it would be about what happen as much as she would have to try to avoid it , the subject would have been brought up anyway might a well go through with it. "I have a really important meeting to get to but we can talk afterwards just wait in my office ill be there shortly " erza said . Gray nodded in agreement. Erza turned and left and gray turned to go to her office he only been in her office a few times an let me tell you it was neat and perfect and it smelled like flowers he could still smell erza scent he smiled he poked around snooping at her stuff but it was just paperwork . He then got on her wheel chair and spun around his kids instincts acting up. He just couldn't stay still he was nervous should he tell erza that he loves her ? and hour passed and she finally walked in . "Sorry im late the- she stopped talking She saw gray sleeping . she poked him on the face trying to wake him up. "Gray ?" erza said. She started to shake him that when he woke up . "Ahh I'm sorry you see you coming and - that's when he stumble and fell to the ground he tried grabbing on to something to lift himself up but he slipped again and bringing the item he tried to hold on to with him and scatting papers all around "umm .. Sorry" gray said . Erza being to chuckled. gray was surprises but then smiled he loved when she laugh when if it was the tiniest laugh it always made him melt and grow to love her even more. Erza bend down picking the stuff up and placing it back where it was and gray stood up dusting himself off. That's when they stood their intenseness was filled in the air both nervous about what the talk would be about . Gray was trying to find the right way to say it he should of though of this before cause now look at them both in silence and awkwardness . "Umm.. erza abou yesterday .. I'm sorry I kissed you it's because - "its fine !" erza said her voice came out higher than excepted surprising both of them. "I know it was an accident and you meant well nothing more " erza said . "An accident ? nothing more ?" gray though those words made his heart cringe with pain. "Uh yeah that what I meant to say " gray said. Knowing that's what he meant to say it hurt erza. "Then that means he really doesn't love me .. " Erza though. "Umm well lets just forget about it then .." Erza said . "Agree" gray said that's when thy both walked out their was few conversations but a little bit of awkwardness . That's when they stood at the elevator waiting for it to open and when they did once again meeting the same eyes . Gray eyes grew with hates and so did his . But he then looked at erza . "Erza " he said . She looked away . "How long is it gonna take for you to forgive me " Jellal said . " How can I forgive you after all you did ? " Erza said . "I'm sorry " jellal said . "I told you before sorry mean nothing once it's done " erza said trying to walk to the elevator but he tried grabbing her to stop but gray pushed him away . " Get out of they way " jellal said . "No , you heard what she said she doesn't want anything to do with you !" gray said . jellal was gonna say something but that's when his eyes turned to confusion confusing gray. "Know that I think about it .. You look awfully familiar ?" Jellal said . That's when gray began to panic he couldn't risk the chance of getting caught "come one erza lets go " gray said pushing erza in the elevator . The door began to close . "Your never find anyone to love you like me erza never no one will love you !" jellal said . Those words hurt erza because she some how though they were true. Gray and her then left the building and went for some ice cream and sat on the bench and ate it except erza she was still thinking what jellal had said . Gray noticed and he knew ah was thinking about that "erza don't listen to him I'm sure there's someone out there who loves you " gray said .
"who ?" erza said looking at him . He started to get nervous nows the chance to tell her should he ? he stood quiet he was to scared to get rejected . "Exactly gray .. No one will ever love me jellal is right even if I hate to admit it ill never find anyone who'll love me " erza said . With that she got up and started walking away . "Erza please wait " gray said . " Gray Im really thankful to trying to cheer me up but is not gonna work I just need a little time to myself and then ill be good " erza said assuring a smile even if she was hurting and continue to walk away. "There is someone in love with you " gray said . He looked over at the midnight blue sky . "can't you see ... That's I love you " gray softly said he signed and decided to walk around a bit before going home.

He arrived at his apartment and looked over at erza and signed then looked away and open his and enter. He sat on his bed thinking about erza he couldn't sleep so he decided to get up to get a drink of water and that when all of a sudden something flashy caught his eye. he walked towards it and removed all his clothes off of it . It was his key board piano he always wrote songs with this and his guitar it's been a while since he sang and since it was midnight and everyone is asleep they might not hear him he set it up and began to play and all his feelings began to come out. But what he didnt know was a certain red head was awake and could hear him.

"There is a man who loves you.

He loves you with all his heart.

He follows you around like a shadow

Everyday. He smiles to the world but

Is hurting inside. How much more do

I, have to gaze at you alone. This love

That came like the wind. This

Beggar-like love. How much longer

will it take For you to love me ? Just

come a little closer to me. If I take one

step closer Then you take two steps

back . I, who love you , am next to you

now. I am that man.

That man had to learn

how to smile because he has always

been guarded. That man's mind is full

Of sadness because he has to keep his

Feelings to himself . That man loves

you, because you are both the same.

You both are fools , yet another fools

Can you hold me once more before

you go ? I want to be loved by you.

My heart cried for you, always for

you. But you don't hear, and yet that

man still waits for you

Do you know that man is me ?

You're not pretending not to , are

you? You may not know because

you're a fool.

Gray continued to play the piano not missing no key. Every piece filled with so much emotion and feeling. he was never good at expressing himself in person or saying his feelings but when he played his emotions and feelings came out all pouring out at once what he could not say , his music says

How much more do I, have to gaze at

You alone with this overwhelming

love, this crippling-like love, How

much longer will it take for you to

love me ? just come a little closer to

me if I take one step closer then you

take two steps back I, who love you,

am Next to you know ..

I am that man "

Gray stopped playing his piano. He felt relieve all he ever wanted to say came out its been deep down in his heart. but now his real priority is how does he confront erza about it how does he tell her he love her ? he though about it all night tossing and turning the questions was still in his head it remained their he tried to push it away but it always came back ."thats it !" he said he sat up . "I can't take the silence anymore tomorrow I shall tell erza how I feel "
