I'm Dating My Cold Professor

Chapter 9

I never expected that Gray will come to my house after my class. Maybe he had a busy day. But when I went home, a car was parked across our lawn. He was standing outside his car with hands on his pockets. I stopped when I saw him. He was a man of his words.

“G-Gray,” I said in a small voice. He looked at me then he drew a smile from his face.

“Hey, you’re home.” He said. He went up to me and hugged me. I jumped with his gesture. It was uncomfortable and unbelievable. This man is hugging me. I almost fainted in his arms.

“Did you wait too long? Where’s Gajeel? Why are you outside our house?” I asked when he let go of me. I regained my composure.

“Gajeel’s not there yet. And no, I didn’t wait too long.” He smiled. I blushed.

“You waited for me?” I asked.

“Who else would I wait? Of course, it was you.” He chuckled.

“Oh…”

Then, his smile broke. “Uh…I’m sorry. I know you were just adjusting into these things. I’m sorry if I’m being too clingy. You know I’m just-”

I waved my hand to disagree with him. Actually, I am a little uncomfortable because I can’t remember anything. “No! No! No! You’re not freaking me out. I couldn’t just believe…I mean, I can’t remember anything…it’s not that I’m uncomfortable around you. I am comfortable around you.”

I heard him sigh. “I know. You can’t remember anything. That’s why we’re here. To help you.” He held both of my hands tightly. He caressed it.

I blushed. I still couldn’t believe this. I am really dating him. He likes me. A man like him likes an ordinary girl like me. I suddenly wish to remember on how we met, on how we spent our times together, on how he confessed to me that he likes me and how I felt the same way too.

He brought both of my hands in his lips. He kissed both the back of my hand and I blushed. All my blood seems to come up to my face. God! Gray Fullbuster is kissing my hands.

“I’ll help you remember, Juvia. No matter how long it is.” He said. I could see the determination in his eyes.  I nodded. I have to remember.  I need to remember.

“Today, Gajeel talked to me to take you to your doctor.” Gray said.

“Why? I’m alright. There’s nothing to worry about.” I said.

“You need to go. That’s what Gajeel said, yesterday.” I sighed. I think there’s no stopping them. “Juvia,this might be good to you. About your condition.”

“Okay, I’ll just get dress. Wait for me inside.” I said.

When we got inside the house, I prepared myself and got dress. Maybe, this will be good for me. Maybe I could ask the doctor too. Why did they keep this from me? Last night, I asked Gajeel about that. He answered that it will be good for me. Because that’s what the doctor said. I sighed. They always tell what’s good for me. I may be relying on them too much.

I went downstairs to see Gray in the couch. And I still couldn’t believe that we are dating. That’s why he acted like that in the dinner.

“What?” He asked as he noticed that I’m staring at him. I quickly shook my head and said nothing.

When we’re both ready, we went outside. I am not ready to see the doctor and ask questions about myself. I am fidgeting my hands as I went outside. I saw his car and looked at it closely, wondering if I’m able to remember something. I looked at it again so closely. I may remember something. I narrowed my eyes more at the car. I even close my eyes. I may remember something.
