Thanks for reading girly girl!

Perviously pervious on Office Lover:

"Juvia, will you go with me instead?"
••••••••••••

My eyes widened, "Me?!" I gasped.

"But I don't have any experience with these sort of parties." I stammered, I'm also not the most sociable person to say the least. I glanced over at Levy, giving her The Look, but she only stared back at me with visible interest. She was way to invested in this now to help me out of it.

I glanced at my shoes, as I thoughts of ways to decline his offer, nothing came up, and my mind was a blank on how to counter Gray's proposition.

"Don't worry about it. I'll help you out if there are any problems, as secretary you're already equipped with all the mannerism you will need for tonight, so I'm not worried." Gray vocalized toward me, I then glanced at him and noticed his suit.

Yes! I screamed in my head, finally thinking of a way to get out of this, the woman from before was wearing a dress. She had on the sort of attire necessary for this sort of party.

"Even so besides mannerisms," I begin saying to Gray.

"...I don't own any dress for this sort of party, and even if I did, I'd have to go home and get it, and we'd be late for the party." I concluded with a grin on my face, knowing Gray would have to give up now, but at that moment Levy spilled in between us like water leaking through a crack.

"If that's the only issue, then you've got nothing to worry about! I'll take care of this, in like, totally a jiffy." Before I could even complain, she grabbed me and Gray by the hand and started to lead us down the hallway.

•*•*•Office Lover*•*

Levy lead us into a room filled with sample clothing, the dresses were all high-quality, and seemed to come out of a magazine.

"When the time comes for it, you can depend on a company specializing in high-class apparel!" Levy joked, as she clapped her hands together. She then pointed to the back of the room, that had a quaint door on the wall.

"There are plenty of party dresses waiting in the dressing room, pick whichever one you like darling!" She exclaimed smiling brightly at me.

"Are you sure this is okay?" Gray asked eyeing Levy. She nodded.

"I'm sure. Plus, I'd be thrilled to have Juvia wear one of our designs." Levy cooed.

I tugged on Levy's sleeve, begging her to stop with the look in my eyes, but she just winked back and smiled.

"You can choose from any dress you want from here." Levy said.

"Ok." I told her.

"...so I'm going to head back to my desk now..." Levy stated.

"Levy!" I screamed, as she stood there grinning.

Are you trying to get me alone with Gray?!?!

"Don't go." I quickly asked her grabbing her hand.

"I gotta be on my way Juvia, plus I was only walking down the hall to take a quick breather so...see you two later!" With that Levy left the sampling room.

"Um...?"

Gray examined me from top to bottom. His eyes were as gentle as always, but their color was intensified.

"Should we start Juvia?"
