"Today's the day " gray said he was awake really early he checked himself In the mirror. "no more excuses today's the day you tell erza how you really feel " he said he took a quick shower and got dressed in plain shirts he was making plans and figuring out what to say and how to say it . "Erza I love you !" Gray said . "No I can't just come out directly " gray said after minutes of pacing back in forth deciding what he'll say he plopped on the couch . "This is going to be harder than excepted " he said and groaned.
That's when he heard a knock on his door. "Coming " he said and he opened the door. "Erza ? he said she had brought some breakfast from mcdonals . "Hey " erza said and gave a smile . "What's all this ?" gray said . "Breakfasts duh " erza said "for me ?" gray said . "Who else " erza said . "Why?" gray said . "Well I kinda was a little mean to you yesterday and stuff and well since you do like to eat so " erza said . Gray chuckled "know me so well huh?" he said and they sat down and ate. "By the way gray did you here singing yesterday at night ?" erza said . Gray gulp she had heard him "u-uh no ?" he said . "That's strange I asked everyone and they all said no .. But all I know is that voice was so beautiful it was my lullaby I fell in love with that voice I wonder who it was .. I love to met him and tell him he sings beautiful " erza said . "How do you know it was a guy " gray said. "you could just tell " erza said. You really think that song was good ?" gray said . "Yes I love it , he was like pouring his emotions and feelings out " erza said . "Maybe it was meant for a special girl " gray said . "Who ever she is then she's lucky .. Why would she not notice that guy likes her ?" erza said . "Maybe because she thinks that no one will love her and she scared to love again and she thinks she's not perfect but in reality she is and she's what that guy been looking for all along " gray said . Erza stood their looking at him. "Maybe your right" erza said and continue to eat. They talked and talked . "So where's our next shoot at ?" gray asked . "I'm not sure but it's not till next month I think it might be at Colorado not sure you know al he's always so surprising " erza said . "Yeah" gray said. that's when his phone rang.

Gray open his arms to hug her and erza extended her hand to shake his that's wen they looked at each other then erza open her arms to hug him and gray extend his arms to shake hers . "uhh " "umm" they said that's when gray just patted her head "see you " he said and erza blushed and waved bye and went out the door. "This is going to be difficult " gray said . He started writing everything he wanted to say to erza "your the one I wake up to each morning thinking of " gray said he wrote and wrote and that's when he finished . "There !
