ICE MADE ( On Hold )

Chapter 13

"How about we make this game more entertaining and place a bet?" James looks at the guys, a wicked smile on his face.

Gray raises a questioning brow at him, "What kind of bet?" He asks.

He looks thoughtful before his face lights up and he smiles, "Your motorcycle."

"No" Is Grays immediate response. This causes James to laugh.

"Scared I'll win." He taunts him.

"Hardly." Gray scoffs.

"Then why don't you want to bet on it?" James looks bored now.

"And if I win?"Gray asks, ignoring his question.

"You get my Mercedes." James takes out he's keys from his pocket and swings them in his hand.

Everyone waits expectantly for Grays response. Erza looks as tense as I feel. Where they really going to bet their very expensive rides over a game?!

"Fine." Gray finally says.

We're they actually serious?!

Even Lyon seems to think the stakes are too high as he speaks up. "Are you guys sure you want to do this?"

They both nod and get into position.

"Alright. This should be fun." Natsu says with a huge grin on his face. Laxus and Gajeel also look a little too pleased.

"Honestly could they be any stupider" Lucy exclaims.

"You know how Gray is. He always has to win." Erza says.

She was probably right. I was sure Gray cared more about beating James at something else than at winning the car. But too make a bet like this was way too much. Even for Gray.

The game starts with Gray taking the first hit and their off. They're really focused on the game as we watch them. Natsu leans over about to take a shot when James purposely passes behind him and shoves him making him miss. Natsu glares at him.

"My bad" he puts his hands up defensively.

I stare at Gray as its his turn to take a shot. He leans over positioning the cue stick. He's so focused and unconsciously licks his lip. I can't help but admire how hot he looks with his messy hair and icy blue eyes. He senses me watching him because his gaze lifts up and looks directly at me. But I don't look away, instead I hold his gaze. We stare at each other as I bite my lip, I feel this sudden urge to taste his moist sensual lips. He has a weird unreadable expression on his face and I feel as if he could see inside me. I wish so much that I could know what he's thinking of. He shakes his head as if clearing his thoughts and looks away, bringing his attention back to the game.

I catch Lyon looking at me and I smile, earning an irritated look from Gray just as James walks to us and stands next to me.

"Enjoying the game?" He asks me.

"It's entertaining."

He eyes me and smiles. "Is that your nice way of saying it's boring."

"No, of course not." I suppress a laughter.

"You're a terrible liar." He bumps me lightly on the shoulder teasingly as his friend signals him that it's his turn.

I watch him walk away, my gaze goes to Lyon and then Gray whom are looking at James with sour expressions on their faces.

"Keep your distance from James. He's not someone good to be around." Lucys warns softly next to me.

I give her a questioning look.
