Desires

Chapter 3

Juvia Pov:

I walk into the guild and everyone turns to look at me. Suddenly, I feel self conscious and look down at my feet. I see Gray-sama out of the corner of my eye. He isn't even giving me a second look....

"Juvia you look spectacular!" Love rival's voice rings out from across from the guild. 

I walk up to love rival and smile.

"Juvia knows, and that is why Gray-sama will choose Juvia over you!" I say as I take a seat  between Love rival and Erza.

Love rival groans in frustration. "How many times do I have to tell you that I am not interested in Gray?! Also, stop calling me love rival... Please." Love rival sighs.

"Lies!" I yell, standing up from my chair. "Juvia knows you are in love with Gray-sama. Juvia sees the way you look at him!!" 

"......" 

"Gray-sama will choose Juvia!"

"......"

"Just you wait and see Lucy! Juvia and Gray-sama will get married, live together forever, and have 30 children!" 

"Juvia-"

"Just wait and see...." 

Tears start to build up at the corners of my eyes. I don't know if I cant  keep them from pouring out.

"Juvia are you okay? Whats wrong?"  Lucy and Erza ask me.

"Juvia if I made you cry, I'm sorry. I truly am not interested in Gray!" Lucy tells me, patting my shoulder.

I sniffle and wipe my eyes. "J-Juvia will be o-okay, and no L-Lucy it's not your f-f-fault." I say, picking up the chair, and sitting back down.

'Who made you cry?" Erza asks, sitting up straighter in her chair. " I will beat them to a pulp!" 

"Yeah!" says Lucy. "Anyone who makes our friend cry will pay for it."

I smile and thank them. 

"Juvia is just a little upset because Gray-sama doesn't seem to care about how good Juvia looks in her new dress.." I mumble, playing with the big curls in my hair. "Gray-sama barley noticed Juvia."

Just seconds after I tell them why I am upset Gray-sama stands up from his spot at the bar, pays for  his drink, gets a piece of paper from Mira, and  starts heading for the door.

"Oh. Well don't worry Juvia.-" Lucy and Erza continue talking to me, but I am too distracted to listen.

What was on that piece of paper? A grocery list? No.... My eyes widen. What if it was..another girl's cell phone number!  

No. That wouldn't happen. Almost everyone in Fiore knows that Gray-sama is off limits. I mean I couldn't make that anymore obvious. So other girls wouldn't, no, couldn't be involved with him. Right....?

"So that is the story of how I discovered strawberry cake and-" Erza continues.

I guess Erza is telling a weird story to Lucy. Lucy looks very concentrated and Erza is pretty into the story also.

Maybe I could just slip away. They probably wouldn't notice. I need some time alone anyway...

I slowly slide out of the chair and run for the exit. I barge out the guild doors and start to run home. 

I can't get the thought of Gray-sama seeing another woman out of my mind.

I am  truly devastated...
