His Wife (Slow Update )

Chapter 32

Juvia POV

His face is so close to mine; he's close enough that I can smell his manly scent, and I can also feel his breath on my lips, and his eyes are focusing on it. The loud beating of my heart made me deaf and I felt weird inside. My stomach seems to be tickling me. What do they call this again? Butterflies in your stomach? It's been so long since I felt this. It's been years, and it's been with Gray, too.

He caressed my cheeks once again and he looked deeply into my eyes as if asking for permission to kiss me. Kiss me? My eyes widened and I came to my senses. I quickly pushed him away. Oh what was I thinking! Letting him in my life again is a big NO. I learned from the past already. I don't want to make the same mistake again.

"I...I have to go." I quickly said, blushing deep red like a tomato. He is about to say something but I quickly ran down the stairs and luckily, an elevator was around two floors below so it got up in no time to take me down to my floor, leaving Gray behind.

"Oh God..." I groaned when I felt pain in my chest probably because I ran down from the rooftop, from the elevator and into my room. I leaned against the door in my room after locking it. I squeezed my eyes shut but his face, his words, have been carved in my mind. That was really close! We almost kissed! Thank god I came to my senses and pushed him away. I am so stupid. What was I thinking? Letting him in my life again is a mistake. Loving him has been so painful. I can't count how many times I cried because of him and if I let him again, I'm certain that it will be the death of me, literally.

I slowly got in my bed trying to forget about the events of earlier. I need to rest. The doctor said I should be able to regain my energy but still, I shouldn't be moving around too much lest I want to be in the ER again. Of course I don't want that! Okay, that's it Juvia! Calm down and stop thinking about Gray! Again, this familiar emotion that I'm feeling again, bothers me. I hate this feeling. I hate how he easily broke the barrier that I made to separate him from me. My mind finally found peace then he came back bringing a riot, messing up my world!

I closed my eyes trying to sleep, but his face suddenly popped in my mind and without thinking, I slapped my face.

There were knocks on the door and a sound that seemed like someone was trying to push it forward.

"Miss Juvia, are you in there?" It was a female voice.

Oh, it's the nurse! I forgot that I shouldn't lock the main door!

"Why is the door locked? Oh, where's my master key? Should be in one of these pockets." The nurse mumbled.

I swung my legs out of bed and said, "Sorry! Coming!"

I was awakened when I heard running water coming from the bathroom. I am 100% sure that I am the only one in this room after the nurse finished her routine check on me and I decided to take a nap. Oh well, maybe it's just my imagination. I should go back to sleep. I was about to close my eyes and return to my slumber when I heard the door of the bathroom opening and a familiar scent engulfed the room. My eyes widened in shock. Don't tell me... I panicked and looked to see who it is.

It's Gray!

Without even thinking, I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him forcefully. It landed on his face and that made him stumble a bit.

"Ouch! Hey! Why did you hit me?!" He hissed. I am about to shout at him but my eyes landed on his body and my eyes widened even more.

He's shirtless!

I gulped as I can feel myself sweating. His biceps, especially his 6-pack abs are saying hello to me. I can also see his v-line, with his towel draped so sinfully low on his hips. His beautifully-carved chest made me notice his tattoo. His skin and his hair are slightly wet, adding to his hotness. He has a body that's capable of making any woman fall at his feet. So, looks like he didn't skip on keeping this physique for years. Damn, he is horribly sexy!
