Chapter 3

"Well. Well, it seems the heartbreaker not only breaks the hearts of men, but she exposes them too." Akira said with a smile of amusement, crossing her features, "I'm not the only one; you know Juvia and Yukino are heartbreakers too." Sylvia pointed at her sisters, "I don't flirt with men who have an interest in me, and when they fall in love, I do not go toss them aside like a toy, you idiot." Yukino said, "I prefer to lead them on; it was fun in high school, but now I like to just turn them down off the bat if I don't like them." Juvia added, "My dear naive sisters, rule #1 is that you've got to have fun." Sylvia slung an arm around the sister closest to her, who happened to be a very annoyed Yukino The blonde held up a finger. "But when you're done, then you've got to run before he does." Yukino rolled her eyes. "Rule #2: don't get attached to any of them, which also ties to Rule #3: do not let them in." Evergreen had an amused face. "if you remember these simple rules, you should be golden, babe." Levy, Akira, Kagura, and Juvia rolled their eyes.

"Those are simple but hard to keep," Minerva said. "Take me and Rufus, for example. I had a hard time trying not to break those rules, but look at where we are now." All of them knew about the dilemma that happened between Minerva and Rufus before they made it official. "My god, that boy is lovesick," Kagura said. "I wouldn't say he's lovesick; they've been together for how long?" Levy asked, "Long enough, I'd say," and Yukino replied, "And he still hasn't popped the question." Juvia finished. "Keith asked me to marry when we were five years into our relationship," Lisanna said. "That was a proposal?" Evergreen asked.

Reiki was bored, so he was looking around the bar when his eyes met sea-green eyes from across the bar. His jaw dropped. This woman was beautiful. Not only did she have a pretty face, but her eyes spoke volumes. She winked at him, feeling flustered. The redhead looked away. All of this was noticed by Rogue and Minerva. "She seems interested in you," Rogue said, which earned the other's attention. "Someone showed interest in you." Nash asked, "Who? Where is she?" Natsu looked around, trying to find the girl.

"I know that look," Yukino said, noticing her sister's teasing smirk. "It seems she's already found her next victim." Minerva pointed out the redhead, who sat at the table across from them, sporting the redhead's cheeks. "Excuse me, ladies, I have a man to impress." Sylvia motioned for Minerva to pass her the class full of her cocktail. "Watch and learn, ladies." She walked up to the redhead's table as her friends watched.

Natsu Hinata finally saw the woman Rogue was talking about walking towards their table. "Hey, she's coming right here," Natsu pointed at the bluenette as the others also watched the woman stand in front of their table. "Hey cutie," a smile stretched her lips, which indicated to Reiki that this woman wasn't any average girl who took interest in him. No, she was bad news. How did he know? Well, right now, the blonde was sporting a flirtatious smile.

The two groups watched the girl One of them watched with dropped jaws that this random woman was clearly flirting with Reiki. "I think she might actually be able to pull this off." Kagura said, "I don't know, that guy seems like he's not having any of her flirting." Erza said before Minerva stood up abruptly, "That pervert," she fumed. "Kagura move!" she motioned for the brunette, who also fumed to get out, which confused the others about what had set off Minerva. "What the fuck man?" they heard a loud slapping sound come from the table where Sylvia was at.

The man she was hitting on held his stinging cheek while his friends stared at him, surprised that he'd go and grope a woman, whereas the person in concern had her arms crossed over her chest in an attempt to protect them "What is wrong with you?! Who does that you perv?" his lips curled into a smile. "For a woman who goes around hitting on strangers, you certainly seem to care a lot about your dignity." Reiki chuckled. "What do you mean?" Minerva ran up to her best friend and said, "Are you trying to insinuate that I am a shameless woman?" Her stance changed from defensive to "oh, I wasn't trying to insinuate anything; I'm saying you're a shameless woman," Reiki said, not being faced by the girl at all.

Kagura, on the other hand, was having a hard time holding back Minerva from lashing out at the redhead "Bold of you to assume I'm shameless when we barely know each other," Sylvia said, placing a hand on her hip. "Well, that would be what someone assumes if you were to use those words," he stated matter-of-factly. "Oh, is that so? Tell me, do you make stuff up?" Sylvia leaned on the table. "Excuse me?" Reiki blinked in confusion Was this girl delusional? "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like it's the other way around," she whispered in his ear. "Are you that desperate?" Erza readied herself to intervene in case this guy was an actual pervert but got the surprise of her life when Sylvia stood back up and said, "Hey, it seems like you're the shameless one here." Sylvia put her hands by her side. "I was merely hitting on you, nothing more." She turned away with her ever-present smirk, raising her hand high and giving it to her best friend, who flipped the finger at the group.
