Day 32- A bad news

[One new message from Gray]

Erza Scarlet, are you there?

Gray, how are you?

I'm great, how r u?

Fabulous.

I'm glad you're doing well! Anyway, you're not busy now, are you?

Uh...not really, the stores closed for cleaning out the expired items so...yeah?

Alright, that's good cause I have something to say to you.

Something to say to me?

Yes.

Um, is it a good news or bad?

It depends on how you feel and react ha ha.

O-Kay...go on.

Well...

?

I'm coming back to Tokyo next week for our wedding.

What? No seriously! WHAT?!

What?

I know but it seems that the wedding has been preponed due to my grandmothers illness. The doctors said that she might not make it until the next month and believe me, it's her death wish to see my marriage...I'm sorry Erza, I know this is hasty for you but your mom and my mom both agreed to it. I don't think there's anything we can do to post pone it.

...

But, isn't it good news? We can start a new life together.

Maybe.

I figured that you don't like this marriage but Erza, you don't always get what you want, right?

No...it's not like that Gray, it's just that...

You like someone else.

Can I be honest with you...?

Honesty is the best policy, plus, a relationship is nothing if you don't have honesty between each other and of course, secrets.

Okay...so yeah, you're right, I like someone but I don't hate is marriage either. I just need time until that person confesses to me...

So it's a one sided love?

Till now...yeah.

Then I'm sorry Erza, I can't give you the time you need.

What? Why?

If it was a love from either sides, maybe then I would have pondered over the marriage a little bit since it's a one sided, I can't and I definitely won't give you the time. If that person loved you, he should have done it so before.

How can you say that? You don't know anything about that person Gray.

Yes, I don't but what you're asking for is only a waste of time Erza.

You're just saying it because you want this marriage to happen, right?

Of course I want this marriage to happen, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, I can't just let anyone snatch you once I'm closer to having you.

...

Gee Erza, you made me say such things all of a sudden...

I didn't reply.

I'm sure you need time to think, but I hope you keep in mind that I'm your fiancé now.

Call me when you feel like talking, okay? Or just leave a message.

Night Erza.
