Zervis: PURITY (Book 2)

Chapter 3: What Happens Under The Rain

Normal POV

Mavis and Zera sat quietly in Zeref's car. Zera at the passenger's seat and Mavis up front. It was awkward silence for the three of them. Last week after the incident, Lucy agreed to let Zeref drive Mavis to school . After what happened, Lucy made sure that Mavis was 100% percent safe. What she didn't know was that she just tied her sister to a man who could possibly rape her at any time of the day.

When Zeref parked right in front of the school, many students directed their gaze at the expensive looking car. Zera was the first to go out. She didn't want to have any conversations with Zeref at all. Mavis was about to get out but Zeref locked the door.
"Hey I'm going to be late, Zeref." It's too early in the morning to be having an LQ.
"You wait here. I'm going to open the door for you."
"Not happening..." Mavis glared at him. All Zeref could do is smirk.
"Too bad." He unlocked his side of the door and went outside. Once Zeref stepped out, so many girls started gossiping on how hot he is. The males felt a sense of jealousy towards the guy. They hope he is not gonna be staying her for a while. Zeref used his car key to unlock Mavis' side of the door. He opened it for her.

Girls started gossiping again. "Oh my gosh, is that Mavis' boyfriend?"
"I think so."
"How did she snag a guy like him."
"I bet she's just a gold digger. Look at that guy, he looks loaded."
"ugh...attention seeker. Zeref plastered on the most fake realistic smile ever as he escorted Mavis to her classroom. He can properly hear what the girls were gossiping about so He took Mavis' bag.
"hey, give it back."
"My wife shouldn't carry such a heavy bag." He sent a wink. Just one little wink made the girls swoon for him and Mavis' blush. She looked away.
It was like the world was ending because those girls heard his words very clear.

'wife?' and thus the gossip got worse by the minute.

"hmmp..." Mavis stomped towards where Zera was waiting for her.
"Is he gonna stay here the whole day?" she whispered to Mavis.
"I hope not. If he tries to get a job in the school, I will transfer schools." The two kept whispering. Zeref enjoyed the reaction he gets from Mavis. Zeref sees the men eyeing his wife. He walked a close distance to Mavis. Zeref glared at every guy that looked at Mavis' way.

Once they arrived outside Mavis' classroom, she took her bag away from Zeref. "you can leave now."
"What?.. Don't I get a 'goodbye kiss' or something?" Zeref pestered her. This was a challenge after all. Mavis has to do simple tasks and the goal is easy. Don't fall for Zeref. Mavis huffed and tiptoed to give him a kiss. Students from outside the classroom watched her efforts but Zeref was being a sneak. He moved his head quickly. Instead of the cheek, Mavis kissed him on the lips. Zeref made it last long by holding the back of her head. Mavis blushed red as well as the students. Zeref retracted showing a blushing Mavis covering her mouth. Zeref smirk at the aftermath.

"I'll see you later, Mavis." Zeref whispered in her ear. He then turned to Zera. "please take care of her Zera."
"I've been doing that even before you came." Zera crossed her arms. Her sass was evident.

Once Zeref left, Zera shooked Mavis. She was petrified on the spot. "Mavis, are you okay?"
"He..He kissed me...in front of the..s..school..." Mavis' blush was still there.
"okay...Let's get you inside." Zera had to push a petrified Mavis into the room.

Later On...

During lunch time, Mavis was the talk of the school. Gossips spreads fast around here. Zera and Mavis just ignored the rumors. She does not want ant drama so early.
"So, how is he treating..when I'm not around?" Zera asked. Mavis was in deep thought. She remembered her shared moments with Zeref.
"If I have to be honest, yeah he's treating me alright." Zeref showed some of his good sides. He always stuck around with her.
"any malice?"
"Not yet actually. It's like he is waiting for the right moment. I just don't understand how he thinks." Mavis did not tell Zera about her bet with Zeref. For sure, Zera will cheer her on to not fall for him. Although, Mavis can admit that Zeref is actually treating her like a princess...or...his wife actually.
