Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. School has been keeping me really busy lately and work doesn't help much either. I haven't forgotten this story though and I'm going to try and write for any free time I a matter of fact, I'm ditching my math class to do this haha. Here's chapter 14. Hope you like it!

Chapter 14

"Alright people that's a wrap! You can all go home now. Thank for all your hard work! And remember you guys have to be at the event building by 6pm tomorrow to set up your equipment. Have a good night everyone."

The musicians nodded their heads to Jillian and began to pack up their equipment. They had been rehearsing for nearly three hours and were all ready to go home and relax. Shilo was amazed at how long the musicians could play their instruments without stopping. She was excited to see how the performance would be the next day. She had never been to sophisticated social event since the night of the opera and she secretly hoped that things would be nice and normal. As she sat in one of the auditorium seats and waited for Jillian, she spotted the girl talking to David on the stage. Jillian was laughing at something he said and David gave her a bashful smile. They exchanged their good byes, hugging each other and then looking like they were about to kiss but stopped themselves and Jillian went to meet Shilo.

"Ready to go?" she asked, smiling, obviously in a good mood.

"Sure." said Shilo, rising from her seat.

When the two girls got back to Shilo's house, Jillian suggested they hang out for a bit until Graverobber got back. Shilo agreed and they decided to watch an old movie on Graverobber's old t.v set. It was bigger than the one Shilo had in her room so they set in in the small living room downstairs. Shilo took a handful of popcorn and noticed Jillian's eyes were glued to the t.v while she had a big smirk on her face. Shilo looked back at the movie. It was a sappy romance story, so why was Jilliian smiling?

"Something funny?" she asked.

"Nope." said Jillian, still not taking her eyes away from the t.v. "Pass the popcorn?" Shilo handed the bowl to her and Jillian took a big handful, still grinning. She took a big swallow. "Did you enjoy rehearsal today?" she asked

"Yeah, the band did really well." she said. "You sang really well today too. I think its because you seem to be in such a good mood."

"I am in good mood."

"Is there a specific reason why?"

"What? I can't just wake up and be happy?"

"Well..I did notice that you and David seem to getting along better these days. Way better as a matter of fact."

Jillian turned and looked at Shilo who was now the one wearing a smirk on her face. "Nothing gets past you does it?" asked Jillian.

"Something you want to tell me?"

Jillian sighed and shrugged. "I guess I may as well tell you. I talked to David last week and we..patched things up."

"Patched things up as in..hooked up?"

Jillian blushed. "Maybe."

"Jill! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't want to hear you say 'I told you so.'" Jillian admitted.

"I wouldn't have said that. So does this mean you two are together now?" Shilo asked excitedly.

Jillian smiled bashfully. "Sort of."

"Well I'm happy for you."

"Thanks. So.." Jillian began, inching closer to Shilo "How's it going with Graverobber?"

Shilo's smile faded a little. "Its going good."

"Are you sure? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah everything's fine." said Shilo, trying to sound convincing.

"Really because it looks like somethings bothering you. "

"Well, its just that..lately in seems like, like he expects more from me."

"What do you mean?"

"Um, I don't know how to say this..."

"Whats wrong? You can tell me."

"Okay, um, see him and I haven't been..intimate yet and sometimes I feel..."

"Pressured?"

"Not pressured exactly. I mean he hasn't said anything but...he'll get kind of...touchy feely I guess you can say."

"Shilo if he's doing anything to make you uncomfortable..."

"No, it isn't that really. Its just sometimes I feel like he wants more. I know that he's a guy and he's definitely more experienced than I am. I just don't know if I'm ready."

"Shilo if you aren't ready than you shouldn't feel obligated to do so. You're right, he's a guy and he probably has urges but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't respect you.

"He does respect me. I know he does. I mean, you don't think that he would break up with me because of it do you?"

"I think that if he truly cares about you, he wouldn't be so much of a jerk to do that."

Shilo sighed. "I really hope not. "

Jillian placed a hand on Shilo's shoulder. "It'll be okay, Shi."

Meanwhile, at GeneCo headquarters, the said zydrate peddler was delivering his order. The twin bodyguards had let him into Amber's office as usual and this time Amber was sitting at her desk waiting for him, which was strange because he usually dropped off the order on her desk and left. He was sure that she had made it a point to avoid him as well. Nonetheless, he kept his head up and walked up to her dropped the large case of little glass vials filled with zydrate.

"Here." he greeted.

"Why, hello there Graverobber." she greeted in a sultry voice.

"Uh, hi. I'm surprised to see you here."

"Aw, what's the matter, Graverobber? Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Are you happy to see me?" he retorted. "There's your order." he said gesturing to the case again.

Amber looked down at the case then back at him. "Why thank you, Graverobber. You did well."

"Yeah, your welcome." he said curtly.

Amber opened the case and took out one of the vials and examined it before tucking it into the bosom of her low cut top."I think this little system of ours has been going quite well, don't you?"

Graverobber shrugged. "I guess so."

Amber flipped her hair and leaned closer to the desk so he could get a closer look at her cleavage."Well I think its going very nicely. Its certainly saving the company a lot of money, and you get keep your life under the radar."

Graverobber rolled his eyes and tried not to look down. "Uh huh. Is that all? I have to get home to Shilo."

Amber gritted her teeth but maintained her confident facade. "Right. So tell me, how's everything going between you two?"

"Everything's fine." he said, becoming very annoyed.

Amber smirked. "Just fine?"

"Better than fine. Its great."

"Really?"

"Yes really. Why?"

"Nothing, nothing. Its just that, you don't strike me as a one-girl type of guy, Graverobber. To me you've always seemed a bit more...liberal."

Graverobber raised his brow. "What are you getting at Amber?"

"Tell me, Graverobber. Do you really like this girl? Or is she just just easy to manipulate?"

"I happen to actually like her." he said truthfully.

Amber's smile faded for just a moment. "Why?"

"Because unlike you, she's actually a genuine person."

"Who says I'm not genuine?" Amber rose from her chair and walked around to the other side of the desk, letting her fingers brush the dark, plastic wood. She then sat down on the desk and crossed her legs. Graverobber eyed her up and down, wondering what she was planning as she licked her lips." I'm genuinely concerned about you, Graverobber."

Graverobber huffed."Don't make me laugh. You never liked me, and I never liked you. It was just business."

"True, but you can't say that you never...enjoyed it." Amber then placed her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist. " I know I did."

Graverobber grabbed her hands and tried to push her away. "What the hell are you doing? Are you high?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" she asked, trying to pull him closer.

"Get off of me! What is it that you're trying to do?"

"Just thought I'd help you out. I know how tough it can be..what with not have laid in a long while."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I can tell that you're frustrated And from what I can tell, I would say that its sexual frustration. Am I wrong?"

Graverobber looked away for a moment and said nothing.

"I take your silence as a yes?"

Again Graverobber said nothing.

Amber laughed and gave him a mock look of sympathy. "Aw, poor Graverobber. No one to help him take care of his needs."

"Shut up."

"Its nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to all of us. Believe it or not, I haven't had a good lay in a while myself."

"Yeah, right."

"I know its hard to believe, with me being the hot little thing I am, but its true." Amber reached over and pulled on his shirt collar, forcing him closer to her then leaned over to whisper in his ear. "C'mon, Graves honey, let me take care of you. You can have it any way you want."

Graverobber continued to glare at her but was panicking on the inside. He had managed to get himself in a very sticky situation. One part of his mind was screaming 'Hell yeah!" while the other part was telling him this was wrong. Horribly wrong. "No. I can't."

"Don't worry, your little girlfriend won't find out. My lips are sealed. I won't say anything if you don't. What do you say? It'll be our little secret."

Graverobber gulped and said nothing as Amber continued to give him a seductive smile. Damn her, he thought, with her full lips, long legs, and her sweet-No! Shilo! He had Shilo. He couldn't do this. Shouldn't do this. Yet he couldn't deny the feeling rising down below. "You'll make sure Shilo never knows of this?"

"Of course not, why would I want anyone knowing about me being with scum like you?"

"If you think I'm scum, then why are you doing this?"

"You may be scum, but even I can't deny that you know how to show a girl a good time." she said, winking at him.

With that Amber pulled him in for a heated kiss and this time, he didn't try to stop her. She pulled away and gave him a devilish look. "Just sit back and let me take care of the rest."

Before she could do anything else, he pushed her roughly back on the desk and glared at her. "No. If we're gonna do this we do it my way, whore."

Amber just smiled up at him. "Fine by me. You know I like it rough."

"Shut up, bitch." he said said before leaning down and giving her a very sinful kiss.

Yes, Graverobber is a scumbag. More drama to come next chapter!
