JUVIA'S POV :

The sunlight hit my face as I slowly opened my eyes, with a pleasant smile on my face. What a great way of waking up, I asked myself as I rubbed my eyes quickly and got up from my bed energetic, throwing the bedsheet in process. I opened the curtain fully and stepped on the balcony to let the fresh morning air brush my skin. Surprisingly, my yesterday's tiredness was gone and I felt fresh—almost. I had to take a bath.

I closed the window and headed to my dresser. I took a simple tank-top,pants and a red shirt to attach on my hip as today was not that cold to Autumn.

I took my towel and was about to head through the bathroom when I heard my phone vibrate from the night table.

- Doting Evil brother ❤️😈 : Have reached Harageon, Don't worry too much for me Sprinkler, call you later devil sis!

What a lovely way of texting, It was a message from Gajeel, my lovely bro. In times like this, I don't know myself if I love him or hate him. I shrugged and texted back.

- Crazy little water drop 😪💧 : Good to hear it, and I don't even think about you, having fun here...Miss you Evil bro!

OK. I lied, I miss Gajeel as hell and after this texto, his doubts were only cleared. I admit it, I'm really a very bad liar, I've to improve my lying skills. It's important to life. I shook my head before entering the bathroom.

After an hour, I was finally out. Yes, I love baths, it's heaven. I quickly dried myself, put on my clothes and let my hair dry naturally. As crazy as it seems, I like when my hair is wet and wavy. It's just natural. I put my phone in my jeans pocket before heading out of the room. I closed the door and was about to head to kitchen to get my morning coffee when I heard a door thud just behind me.

I turned forward to the sudden sound and as soon as I did it, I was stunned on spot. Shit. Gray Fullbuster was standing just a few feet before me, looking at me stunned as I was—well, me I was flustered and a blushing mess.
The fact that he's standing in front of me was not important but the fact that he just had a thin towel on his waist to cover his nudity was incredible.

I felt my eyes slowly inching lower as I was facing his hard chest, his toned abs forming a perfect V and Oh my god, that hipbone—- seriously how can it be so sexy? And under that—-I forcefully averted my gaze to narrow them up, I repeated the same thing. Well sculpted abs, perfect chest on which his sword chain was hanging loosely. And what's that on his right pectoral? A tattoo. Shit. It makes his body even sexier. I inhaled sharply as my eyes rode up to his stop on his sensual lips. Right now they were the sexiest thing I've ever seen as they were cracking a handsome smirk at me.  

          

When I finally met his eyes, he gazed right into mine intently, locking those blue eyes of his with mine. My heartbeat quickened as he took a step towards me, I felt my cheek heat up and felt unable to break the eye lock as he approached closer. Each time he took a step forward, I took a step backwards. I gasped as I suddenly felt the hard wood on my back. The door, I'm blocked between Gray and the door, can't move now.

Gray slowly leaned in, not breaking the eye lock once and murmured in a low voice in my ear.
- " How was the sight Juvia ? " My name was so sexy in his voice that I felt myself hard to breath.

Before I could lose all my senses with this guy, I quickly placed my hand on his chest and pushed him, but of course he didn't even flinch.

- " Don't know what you're talking about Gray..." I said in the same tone, he just cracked me another half-grin with amusement in his eyes. Shit. I'm a very bad liar.

He then raised his hands up defensively and then moved backwards as I was still pushing him. Gray the turned, opened the door in front and closed it behind him. I let myself slide against my door too shocked and trying to process what just happened. Why in Earth this guy do weird things to me ?!  Why should he be a real Apollon? And Shit. His room is just in front of mine or should I say mine is in front of his? Why the hell did I get this room, there's no other rooms in this corridor, just mine and his. It's bad. It's too bad. Why the hell is bad in first place ? It's not like I care. Then why your heart beat quickened and you felt your knees we—-None of your business—technically yes, I'm in your body after all.

I sighed heavily thinking that I can't win again my stupid conscience so decided to give up. I headed down stairs to find almost everyone's here except Natsu and Gray. Well, I just saw Gray so I assume Natsu must still be sleeping.

- " Good morning everyone!!" I greeted with a wide smile as I entered the living room, my friends were seated around the kitchen bar counter with their breakfasts.

- " Good morning/morning Juvia/Gurl!" Everyone greeted with the same enthusiasm.

- " Coffee? " Jellal gestured a cup from kitchen as I took a seat between Cana and Loke. I knew that I loved this guy for something. I gave him a big smile in response. Erza chuckled.

- " Had a good sleep? " Erza asked me.

- " Like a baby." I answered her.

- " Good then... " Erza smiled before looking behind me " Hey Gray! " I didn't look back as I was still embarrassed and took the cup of coffee that Jellal handed me.

- " Say Juvs " I glanced at Cana. " ya like your room ?" Cana had a half grin on her face. I opened my mouth wide. So she was the one, she knew that Gray's room is in front but she still planned it. Evil woman.

I shot her a glare and smiled innocently.
" Oh, I love it Cana, thank you very much for helping me..." Cana blew an invisible hair strand annoyed that she hadn't got the reaction wanted.

I grinned victorious. Gray who sat in front of me, sneered. I didn't even look at him because I knew I'll lose this confidence if I do. That's when Natsu entered, a real mess but still smiling ear to ear. This guy is a a energy bomb. He greeted us and bumped his fist with guys before eating his breakfast. The rest of the morning went pleasantly. We played video games, watched films, talked, laughed, had fun.
