Her Hidden Powers (GraLu) 🍋

Chapter 11: Surprises

********* Sorry this chapter has taken me a minute. I started feeling a little better, but my daughter got sick. I also had a little writers block of what I wanted to do next.* *********

===============================================================================

A few months have past and Gray was walking down the street towards the guild. He just left Lucy's place after another fun night. They still had not gone any further than 3rd base, but Gray did not mind. He knew Lucy wanted to take things slower, because they hadn't been together long before doing what they have done so far, behind closed doors. For Lucy it was a big step to allow Gray to take her virginity, so, she just needed time. Gray understood and honestly, he was just happy that she was his. They could never do another thing sexually, and he would be fine with that. As long as she stayed his. Recently he had realized just how much he was in love with her. Feeling like he suddenly wanted to do something nice for he stopped walking, looked around at the shop fronts he was by, and then saw a bunch of multi-colored twinkling lights. Walking towards the lights, out of curiosity, he realized they were not lights. What had drawn him in was a bunch of jewelry that had sparkled and shined, do to the sun being directly on them. One design caught his eye in particular. It was a slender silver chain with 2 delicate hearts intertwined and covered in small gems. On heart was slightly larger than the second one. He loved it butt eh heart colors were all wrong, green and orange, yuck. It may have been wishful thinking, but he made his way inside to see if he could get a custom one made.

"Hello! Welcome to Sparkling Desire jewelers, how can I help you today?" A very beautiful brunette, with a slender frame and full chest, asked Gray as he entered. She eyed him up as if she was going to devour him. He didn't even notice or pay attention to her though.

"Ummmm..... yes," He said awkwardly, making the employee swoon, "I was wondering if you can customize and item I saw displayed in your window over there? I love the design but the colors are all wrong."

Forcing a smile, because she could tell this was for someone he held dear to his heart, she walked over to the window display, Gray tagging along behind her. "We can customize some of the items. Which item over here did you want customized?" She inquired with a gentle smile, pointing to the different displays.

"Oh, the heart necklace on the end. I love the silver chain and design, but I was wondering if I could have the larger heart in black gems and the smaller heart in a light blue gem?" He asked, with a tinge of blush on his cheeks and his right hand scratching the back of his head.

"That is lovely, we can defiantly do that for you. You have one lucky partner." The lady exclaimed and she went over to her check out counter and pulled out a paper. "I just need you to fill out the details on this paper, along with your info. Also, the payment will be made when you pick the item up. The price for this specific custom work is going to be a little pricey on top of the cost of the necklace, bring the total to 1500,000 J. It will also take about 2 weeks, give or take a few days, to finish the order. Any questions?" When finished she looked at the shocked Gray.

" 150,000 . . . . um . . . wow. yeah, that is fine." His facial features softened. " My girlfriend is worth this and more. I just never bought a girl jewelry so I had no idea it was this expensive. With Valentine's day in 3 weeks, this is perfect timing." He chuckled as he started filling out the paperwork. Smiling to himself, thinking about how much Lucy would love this.

After walking out of the shop and waving bye to the brunette, he made his way to the guild. He was proud of himself, but it was short-lived knowing he would have to hustle and do as many jobs as he would get the money he needed and to have some extra. He wanted to take Lucy out on a nice date and give that necklace to her as a way to express his love. Not wanting to be bombarded with questions as to why he was smiling to himself, the ice wizard put on a straight face and entered the guild. He immediately saw his gorgeous blonde girlfriend happily talking to her Short blue-haired friend, Levy. A smile nearly crept onto his face, as he waved to familiar faces he passed by. He wrapped his arms around the blonde, startling her and making her friend laugh.
