Chapter 8: I need to introduce her ❤ PART II
Juvia's POV
Oh.My.Goodness.
Juvia knows that Gray-sama is rich but not this rich. His house looked like a castle to Juvia, not a mansion at all. It's like where fairy tale characters live in and they even have a big fountain in the middle, in front of their house.
Gray-sama and Lucy-san suits each other... They're both rich.
Juvia frowned upon thinking of it. He parked his car in front of the house and gets out. He goes over to Juvia's side and opens the door. "Juvia, come on."
Juvia grabbed her bag and she gets out of his car. He closes the door as soon as Juvia got out and locks his car so no one can open it or even enter it.
He sighed and puts his hands on his waist. "So, we're here. Are you okay?"
"Juvia never thought that you would be this rich." Juvia said blandly and looked at his castle-like house again. The walls were pure white and they had a lot of windows. "Juvia is embarrassed..."
"Don't be." He said and approaches me. He did something Juvia would never expect from him. He suddenly held Juvia's hand and intertwined it with his. "Let's go."
Juvia instantly blushed and looked at our intertwined hands. "G-G-Gray-sama...! What's this?? Why is Gray-sama holding Juvia's hand??"
"Well, I'm going to introduce you to my dad as my girlfriend and this would do the trick." He said and raised our hands together. "He would be convinced that we're dating and he would call off the marriage. I'm sure of that."
"O-Oh..."
He gave Juvia a smile before we started walking towards the door of his castle-like house. Juvia couldn't help but feel anxious and nervous. Her heart beat is beating faster than normal. Maybe she needs to go to a doctor soon. This isn't normal. And this only triggers whenever Juvia is near Gray-sama.
Gray-sama pressed the doorbell and the door was opened immediately. There were maids lined up and they were bowing their heads while having a happy face. "Welcome home, master Gray Fullbuster!"
Juvia squeezed Gray-sama's hand as she hid behind him. She wasn't used to these kind of things. It felt new to her and it even embarrasses her.
Gray-sama seemed to notice that because he said, "You are all dismissed." And after that, the maids were scattered up and they disappeared from our sight.
Juvia sighed in relief and stopped hiding behind his back. "S-Sorry about that. It's just that... Juvia is not used to it."
"It's fine. I understand you, Juvia." He said, warming up Juvia's heart. "Hey, my dad is at the dining room. Let's go there?"
Juvia nodded. While walking, Juvia took the courage to look around at Gray-sama's house. How tall is this? It's so high and it feels like it was made for giants. And they have a lot of rooms here in the ground floor that leads to the bathroom, kitchen, living room, theater room, and all other types of room. Juvia couldn't help but stare in awe.
We entered the dining room and saw a man in his 50's was sitting in the middle of the long table and has about 20 chairs around it. The man was reading a newspaper but he stopped reading when we entered the dining room.
He immediately smiled and puts his newspaper on the table. "Gray! You're finally here!"
"Hey dad." Gray-sama greeted.
So this is his father?
His father suddenly stood up from his seat and went towards us with a grin plastered on his face. He looked at Juvia and said, "So she's your girlfriend? She looks cute and adorable!"
Juvia blushed slightly and said, "T-Thank you, sir. My name is Juvia Lockser and it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Lockser?!" He asked and he stopped in front of Juvia. His eyes widened and said, "Really? A-Are you Rave's daughter??"
Juvia was surprised. Rave Lockser is her father. "Y-Yes... Sir, how did you know that? And why do you know Juvia's father?"
He smiles again and said, "I'm Silver Fullbuster and Rave and I are childhood best friends and we still get in contact till now and this happened? I never expected this! Our kids are dating each other!"
Gray-sama chuckled and removes his hand from Juvia and instead, he wraps his arm around her and said, "We sure do."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Christmas?? Let's go and eat to celebrate this!" His father said and gestured for us to take a seat.
He goes back to where he was sitting earlier and Gray-sama sits on his left side and Juvia sits next to him because she doesn't want to feel left alone. A few minutes later, the maids went here and started putting plates, forks and spoons and even glasses to drink on. They also started putting food that looks like they're from an expensive restaurant.
Juvia's mouth can't help but water a little at the sight.
"So, how did the two of you meet? Let's hear the story!" His father said and clapped his hands twice as he stared at us.
"We met at school and it was love-at-first sight for the two of us. Heck, I was moved by her beauty and intelligence and I fell in love with her. I courted her for about 2 weeks and she answered me, right Juvia?" Gray-sama asked as he looks at Juvia with a smile.
"Y-Yes." Juvia agreed and smiled back. It was pure of lies. Juvia already knew him long ago because he's famous at our school.
"Oh, such a cute but loving cliche story!" His father said and looked at me. "And oh yeah, you can call me uncle Silver, Juvia. Or maybe, you can even call me father!"
"O-Okay, uncle Silver." Juvia said and refused to call him father because Gray-sama and Juvia aren't really dating.
He looks at the two of us with a mischievous smile and suddenly asked us a question,
"Shall we... Discuss about your marriage?"

"WHAT?!?!" Gray-sama reacted and Juvia just blushed.0///////0
"I'm kidding you donkey" Mr. Silver smiled
Gray-sama and Juvia sighed in relief upon hearing his joke. Juvia felt her heart racing again and it was getting harder to breath out.
"Let's eat, you guys! I'm hungry because I waited so long for the two of you. Juvia, don't get embarrasses in front of me and eat what you like. Gray, help her out, okay?" Uncle Silver said and looked at us with a smile.
"That goes without saying, old man." Gray-sama said and rolled his eyes off of his father and looked at Juvia. "Juvia, what do you want to eat?"
And thus, our endless acting started again. We acted like a loving couple in front of uncle Silver's eyes so he would be convinced that we're dating each other. It was a little hard from the start but Juvia tried to act natural, just like when she dated Bora back then.

"It was nice meeting you, Juvia! I hope you and Gray will last forever." Uncle Silver said as he shook Juvia's hand. It was already 6 in the evening and all we did was talk about some things and uncle Silver even showed Juvia his baby pictures, which made Gray-sama furious of course.
"Yes! Juvia hopes too as well." Juvia lied but half of it is true... Wait, what?
Uncle Silver chuckled and looked at Gray-sama. "Gray, escort her safely okay? I'm really happy that you started dating someone again."
Again?
"Yeah, I didn't expect it." Gray-sama answered as he held Juvia's hand again. "Well, we better get going now. Be back later."
"Of course you better be back later, young man!"
Juvia laughed and waved at uncle Silver as Gray-sama started pulling the two of us outside of his house. When the door of his house closed, he sighed in relief and lets go of my hand as he leans on his car.
He sighed. "That was quite exhausting. Well, at least we convinced him. Now, I'm not going to get married to someone I don't know."
Juvia smiled and said, "Yes! Juvia is very happy for you, Gray-sama."
"And so, we only have 3 weeks left before our—" He suddenly stopped from talking and he just stared at Juvia.

"That reminds me... It's our first fake weeksary today, right?"
Juvia blushed a little. He remembered. He finally remembered what's going on today but after remembering that, what are we going to do?
"Y-Yeah." Juvia said and tucked a hair strand behind her ear.
"And that's what you've been trying to tell me?" He suddenly smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at Juvia. "Oh, I see what you did there, Juvia Lockser."
Juvia's whole face turned red and avoided his gaze. "T-That's not it...!"
"So, what should we do to celebrate our fake weeksary? Hmm? Should we go on a date today?"
"Gray-sama...!" Juvia knows that he was just playing around and teasing Juvia.
He chuckled and flashed Juvia a grin. "Let's just hope that we'll get successful in making Lucy fall for me by the end of the month. I'm excited for it."
For some reason, Juvia's heart became empty at his words.
