Chapter 5
Josh and Shawn went to there first day back to school on a Tuesday. The boys wanted Gray to be there that morning. Amber was fine with it as long as he didn't try to kiss her or do anything else. The rest of the week still belong to her, she had no plans to return to work just yet. For the time being, she was doing this for her boys. They were happy when Gray agreed to show up to take them to school. The school, wasn't that far away from were they lived. It was a easy walk for them to take.
"Are you sure boys, that you don't want me to come too."
"No, Mom we want Dad to take us." Josh tells her. Getting his backpack ready with his lunch and a pencil case.
"Alright, I'll see you after school then."
"Can't dad pick us up."
"He has work this afternoon Josh. I have allow your dad to do this once a week and then build up. You guys better get going or the first bell will ring."
"Your mother is right boys, I have to make sure my schedule allow me to do this or it might be more difficult to see you two and your mom." Gray looks at her to hear her agree. "Right Amber?"
"Yeah, Sure." They hugged there mom. All three of them goes down the street. Amber closes her door after waving to the boys. "I need a coffee."
The smell of coffee filled her kitchen. She was waiting for it to finally finishing brewing. A cup in her hand waiting for it to be pour with the hot liquid. Her eyes were glued to the coffee pot. When the last drop falls, she picks up the pot. Was pouring the coffee into the mug. When she heard a voice behind her that made her jump. "Can I have a cup?"
Screamed and the coffee goes onto her hand and the cup falls and breaks onto the floor. "Amber!"
The coffee pot gets put on the counter and she touches her hand. "Ouch it hurts."
Gray quickly comes over, takes her over to the sink and starts running the water. He puts her hand underneath the tap. "Hold it there under the cold water. Do you have a first aide kit?"
"Yeah, in the boys bathroom. In the cupboard above the toilet."
Leaves her to go to get it. Amber hoped that her hand wasn't going to blister. Saw the mess on the floor. "Don't worry about the mess. I'll clean it up since I scared you. Lets take a look at your hand. Come over here to the table." Amber walks over to him. He takes a look at her hand and sees it was very red. "I will bandage it up."
"Will it blister?"
"It might, but right now. It's not looking like it will. That is a good thing." He starts wrapping her hand up. "Didn't mean to scare you."
"I thought you would have gone, when you came back."
"Not to see you first before I left. I would like to see my wife first thing in the morning, if I can. Do you remember when I would leave in the morning, back then. You were in your house coat, and sometimes I would be late for my class. Knowing that you had nothing on underneath."
A deep pink shine on her cheeks as she remembers a few times. She could temp him at the door before he left. They would either go back to bed or make love on the couch or right at the front door. "That was a long time ago and things are different."
"How so, when you have a house coat on you now."
"I am wearing a nightgown."
"I might have to check that out after bandaging your hand."
"I think not."
Gray carries on with wrapping her hand. She hisses in pain when the bandage goes over a a sensitive spot. "Do you have a medical cream?"
"Only in my bathroom."
"Use it, it will help."
"Ok Doc."
When he was finished he brings up her hand to his lips. "I'll kiss it better." She holds her breath in. His gaze was on her, when he very gently kisses her hand. "There I made it all better." He continues to kiss her hand down to her wrist. Softly she says his name.
"Gray.."
"Yes?"
"Release me, I have a mess to clean up."
He smiles and lets her go. "You can go get dress. I will clean it up for you and get you a fresh cup. I don't want you to miss out on your coffee."
"You sound like I have a obsession for coffee."
"You do. If you don't get your first cup in the morning. Sometimes you can be a tad off."
"A tad off, what do you mean by that?"
"See, it's already starting."
She hits his arm hard. Where he quickly grabs her by her waist and pulls her in. Looks down at her bathrobe and takes the string of her house coat and opens it up. "Gray what are you doing?"
"Seeing if it's true. About your nightgown underneath this." Pulls it open and his hand slips into the coat and places it on her waist. Her nightgown was blue and short. "I am still tempted by you, if you have this on or not." He pulls the nightgown off her shoulder and bends his head down and kisses her neck. She takes a breath in and smells him, it was winter pine. The house coat comes right off her body. She looks up at him, thinking this can't happen.
Then kisses her with out her pushing him back. Gray lifts up the nightgown up and his hand goes underneath it. Moves it up to her breast. "Gray don't."
"Why not?"
Continues to rub his hand on her breast. Plays with her nipple. Lifts up the nightgown more. His head moves down and he kisses her nipple and sucks it into his mouth.
"Gray..." Arches her back to him. To take in more of her breast into his mouth. His other hand goes to her bottom. Squeezes her behind and his hand moves to the front. "Open your legs Amber."
"Gray no..We can't"
He lifts her up and puts her down the table. Rubs her cheek as he looks at her. "I want you." His other hand goes to her bare stomach. "I want to fill you up with me. Like I said, get your pregnant." He kisses her as she is on the table. Takes his hand and open up her legs. Fingers feels at her entrance. "You are already wet."
Lays her back down on the table. His head moves down to her breasts and he plays with them again. Kisses and sucks on one and does the same to the other. His other hand at her opening he takes a finger into her. "Amber I want you." Feels around inside her. Amber bites down on her lip. Her will is breaking, this can't happen a second time. His head moves down lower to kiss her belly and trails kisses on her scar and goes lower still. His finger comes out of her. His tongue starts licking her, and his hands spread her legs even wider. So he can have a better look at her.
Juices comes out of her opening, licks it up again. He hears her moans. "Ahhhh Gray." Amber covers her mouth for letting this happen. Was hoping for someone to stop him. Even told him there will be no repeats. He removes her hands away from her mouth. "I want to hear you."
"No Gray, stop!" He doesn't listen to her and keeps going. As he licks her, his fingers play with her clit. She arches her bottom up. Amber can't even think, can't focus on stopping him. Hears his zipper being pulled down on his pants. "Gray no."
"My love, your body is responding to me. So it's a yes." His tongue goes to her clit and plays around in circles. His fingers go back inside of her. This is what he wanted to do in the hospital. He pumps in and out if her. Gray can hear her rapid breathing. "Amber tell me, you want me in you."
"Gray I cant..." He gets up and starts kissing her again. She responds to kissing him back. Her last bit of will breaks as she starts to put her legs around him. When she hears her door opening and Natsu calls out to her.
"Amber?!"
She comes off that high and gets off the table. Quickly puts her house coat back on. Natsu comes into the kitchen as she finishes tying it back up. "Hey, can I borrow some coffee I am out." He looked at the two. Did I miss something?"
Amber's hair was in disarray and Gray was pulling up the zipper of his pants. "Perfect timing, you couldn't wait a other 5 minutes to come over." He glares at Natsu.
"Sorry, not sorry."
"You know where the coffee is. Help yourself I am going to get dressed." Moves past Gray and Natsu to run up to her room. Close her bedroom door and locks it. She needed time to be by herself.
Natsu strolls into the kitchen, and goes over to the cupboard where she keeps the coffee and ooks back at Gray. "If you two are going to do something kinky in the morning you might want to lock the front door."
"How can I do that when you have a key to her house."
Natsu smiles at him. "At lest I have a key. What do you have?"
"I have the ring to prove we are still married. You said, you will not follow through and going after her."
"I meant it, I will not get involved knowing she is still married to you. It's her life, or love life. I'll continue to be her friend." Gray goes over to the mess on the floor to start cleaning up. "How is it trying to get her to come back to you?"
"She given me the papers and I tore them up. I have made a few passes at her. Nothing significant yet. I almost had her on the table, but you go interrupted us"
"I am still not sorry for that. The look on your faces was priceless though."
"Why don't you get your coffee and go?"
Natsu opens up the cupboard and grabs a bag of coffee. "You know Gray as much as I care for Amber. Don't break her heart again."
"I will not hurt her. What have you been told of what happen?" "She was looking around for you, to go home. Came upon the room and saw you holding your Ex in your arms. You where placing her on the bed, she kisses you."
"It was misunderstanding and I told her what truly happen. My brother was in the room, he needed help to bring her up. She got confused to who I was. When she sobered up, she realized her mistake."
"How long did it take for you to notice that Amber was gone."
Gray looks away from him. "Lets stop the conversation, this doesn't concern you."
"Ah, when you did notice, it was to late."
"When I found out she left the party, I went after her."
"Yeah, but you didn't track her down. Six years is a long time, Gray. Are you sure, you can get her to fall in love with you again?"
"Yes I do. What we had or still have. It doesn't really go away Natsu. When you find the person you are meant to be with. Everything falls into place. Amber is that one for me."
"I guess I should wish you luck. I have my coffee now. I will go back to my place." Natsu walks to the front entrance. "Let me give you one piece of advance. You may know Amber well like you say you do, but the time apart has probably change her. Gray, you might have to get to know her all over again."
"If that is the case, then I will take a step back and overlook my approaches towards her."
"I got go. See ya." He yells up at Amber and tells her Goodbye.
"Goodbye Natsu." She calls back, getting ready to hop into the shower.
He was pretty sure he knows his wife. Nothing has really change in the last six years as he can tell by walking through her house, looking at pictures, the little nick knacks she collected, the movies she owns, the books she reads. This was all her, the only changes was from his kids. There toys, shoes, pictures they had on the kitchen fridge. He was deep in thought, thinking back, thinking for the now. There was still so much left unsaid, Gray needed to know more.
The raven was in the living room, when Amber came back down the stairs. She had taken a shower, her hair was let loose down her back. Her clothing she wearing that day was a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, no socks on her feet. Re-bandage her hand with what he put on her before. Took it off so it didn't get wet. He was looking out the window and he turns when he heard her come into the room. "Why did you move here?"
"I don't know, came here as a kid. When my parents were still alive. The area was nice and inviting, and didn't want to be to far away from my brothers."
"But far away from me."
He walks over to her has he talks. "Gray, it was a spur of the moment. I needed to go and I ran."
"Why not talk it out back then. I could have been rising the twins along side you."
"I didn't know I was having twins until later. I was shocked, when I found out. When they show me the ultrasound picture, I almost fainted. I got scared on top of that, thinking how I was going to rise them on my own." He could see tears start falling from her eyes.
"If you where that scared, you should have contacted me."
"I couldn't, Gray. My heart wouldn't allow it."
"I will have to get your heart to restart again." He wipes the tears that were in her eyes. "I have to go, and get ready for work. I want you to start thinking with your heart, not your mind." When he leans closer to her lips, her hand was rising up. Takes a hold of it before she could cover her mouth or his and kisses her softly. He puts his forehead against hers. "I want your heart to beat fast when you are around me, my love. Let your love for me return."
He lets her go and walks over to the door. "One more thing." With his hand on the door knob. "I want Natsu key." He goes out and shuts the door.
"Gray, my heart has already started beating fast.
The rest of the week was uneventful until Friday night. Gray was busy working, Amber was dealing with the twins. Would phone them up during the day when he could. If it was in the morning before school, or afterwards, even before bedtime. She would only pass the phone over to the twins and not say anything to Gray at all. When Friday rolled around. He had phone up before the boys bedtime. Didn't get Amber when he rang. Lucy picked up the phone instead. "Hello?"
"Lucy! It's Gray. Can I speak to Amber first before I talk to my boys."
"Ummmm she is not here Gray. I am babysitting."
"Oh did something come up?"
"Not exactly, but she will not be back until later or the next morning."
"Why do you say that?"
"I told her it wasn't a good idea to be doing this. Knowing that you two are still married."
"Lucy, calm down and tell me what she doing?"
"She went on a date with Sting."
Gray wasn't happy at the news. "Really now. Where did they go?"
"They went down to the wharf to eat at that new Korean restaurant, Mario's?"
"I know that one you are talking about. What time did the leave?"
"Maybe a hour ago, they should be done eating. I heard Sting talk about going for a walk and later going over to his place."
"Thanks Lucy. I will talk to Josh and Shawn later ok. I am going to go."
"You are going after her are ya?"
"Sure am, This Sting guy needs to back away."
"Amber is lucky to have a guy like you."
"She better start realizing it then. Bye Lucy."
"Bye Gray."
Changes quick into some casual wear, grabs his jacket and heads out his apartment door. "I am not surprise she kept this from me. I would have tied her to a chair to prevent her from leaving her house with any guy let alone this Sting person. She better be prepare to see me coming." He gets into his car and drives as fast as he could to the wharf.
"That supper was wonderful Sting, thanks for taking me to it."
"No problem babe. Would you care for a walk after eating all that food."
"No not at all, and it's a beautiful night." He takes her hand they start walking in the direction of the wharf.
"Amber?"
"Hmmmm?"
"Has he sign the papers?"
"No, he torn the last ones up."
"Are you going to get new ones made up?"
"When I see Laxus on Monday I will ask him."
"That is good, glad to hear it." He smiles at her. Sting had liked Amber for a really long time. Never had the courage to ask her out before. Until a couple months ago when she spelled coffee all over his pants suit. They both laughed it off. Afterwards he asked her out. He thought dating friends would be wrong, so he took the chance.
They reach the end of the wharf and looked over the water. Watching the boats come in and go out. Watching her underneath the moonlight. About to say something charming to her. When he heard her name being called out. "Amber!"
They both turn around. There stood the one guy Sting didn't want to see tonight. Gray comes over to them. He was trying to catch his breath from running all the way from his car. Amber looked at him with a concern expression. "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong with the boys?"
"NO, nothing wrong with them, but something wrong with this." He points at Sting.
"What do you have a problem with Gray?" Sting steps away from Amber.
"You going after my wife, who is married by the way. And no, I will not sign the papers." He looked at her. If he knew what she was thinking about.
"Can choose to do what she wants to do. That is, to spend time with me. You see, yes you are still married. But, I am the one holding her hand, kissing her at night, going on dates with her and making love to her."
Gray looks at Amber "Have you done it with him?"
"NO!"
"I was planing to do that tonight." He walks over to Gray. "You would cringe at the thought of me inside her. Cumming inside her, making love all night long." They both were staring at each other. The tension was flying out of control. She had to get them to stop before something serious happen. Gray smirks at him.
"You have been on second base for awhile. I am almost all the way to home." Sting pulls back his hand and aims for Gray's face. He punches him in the jaw. Gray hits him in the waist. Amber looks at the two men fighting in front of her.
"Stop it!" Sting goes for his face again. Amber grabs a hold of his arm. "Sting stop this. Both of you stop at once." Sting gets free of her grip and pushes her backwards.
"Stay out of this." Amber falls into the railing. It breaks and she falls into the water. "Ahhhhh"
They both turn and heard the scream and the splash as she hit the water. "Amber!" They rush to the edge were she broke through. The cold water hits her lungs and is submerge underwater. The men jump into the water. Gray gets to her first and starts taking her over to the shoreline. He tries not to think about how cold the water is and keeps pulling her a long. Sting gets out first and helps Gray with laying her down on the beach. He sees she is not breathing.
"Come on my love, breath for me." He touches her neck to feel for a pulse, it was low. Begins giving her CPR, by tiling her head back and opening her mouth. Gray covers her mouth with his and gives her air. Then puts his hands together lays it down on her chest and doing compression's. Sting is on the other side of Amber. Watching Gray work on her. Sting didn't mean for this to happen, it went wrong so fast.
"Babe, come on lets see those ocean blue eyes." Gray pushes on her chest for a eight time after giving her air.
"Amber, please." She starts sputtering up water. He rolls her onto her side to get the water out of her lungs. Amber coughs it up.
"Gr... Gray."
"Do not talk right now." Gray tells her.
Sting sighs for relief. "Thanks Gray you saved her." When the coughing stops and she lays there. Gray lifts her up into his arms. He carries her over to his car. "What are you doing with her?"
Gray turns around and gives Sting a deathly glare. "I am taking my wife home with me. She needs to get warmed up."
"I can do that, for her, hand her over." The raven doesn't listen and resume walking back to his car. He puts her down on her feet, to open the passenger side door. Safely puts her in and closes the door. Gray goes right up to Sting.
"She will never see you again. You stay the hell away from my wife, got it!"
"Isn't that up to her, to decide that."
"I don't give a bloody dam what you think!" Gray pushes him out of the way and gets into the driver side. He starts driving away, he picks up his cell and dials her home number.
"Hello?"
"Lucy, something has happened." He tells her about finding her and getting into a fright with the blonde guy and how she ends up into the water.
"What are you going to do with her now, take her to the hospital?"
"No take her to my place she needs to get warmed up."
"Why not bring her right back here?"
"I don't want the boys to see the state she is in, could freak them out."
"That is reasonable. Do you need me to say here the night?"
"Can you? I mean...you have work in the morning."
"I requested the day off anyways, I can stay for the night."
"Thanks Lucy, I'll give you a call later."
He pulls up to his apartment building and he turns off his car. "Gray..."
Her eyes are closed and her head is on the headrest. Turns in his seat and feels Amber's forehead and cheek. "Now you have a fever, lets get you inside." Comes around to her side and opens the door and helps her out of the car. She is leaning against him. "Guess you can't walk."
He lifts her up into his arms and carries her inside. Rides the elevator to his floor. Then he walks over to 404, he puts her down for the moment to open up his door. When he enter his place, he carried her over to his room. Gray has her stand by the bed. Unzips her dress, takes it off the shoulders and it falls to the floor. Then he also removes her bra and underwear.
The raven lays her down on his mattress and pulls the covers up around her. Then removes his clothing and crawls in next to her. "My body heat will warm you up." Arms wrap around her, pulls her against to him. "Amber, you may not like this. It's the only way to help you with out sending you the hospital." His lips kisses her forehead.
"Sorry for what occurred tonight. I wanted him to know that you belong to me. Sting is a unwelcome pest that needs to be squished. When it comes to you, I can't think straight. You have drove me crazy this evening. After hearing that you had gone out on a date with him. Amber, the relationship you had with him is now over."
Time pass by for a few hours. Amber wakes up, she doesn't know the room she is in. She felt someone next to her and turns to take a look. "Gray?"
He was looking down at her, watching her sleep. "Hey, you finally came too." Touches her cheek. "You still feel feverish to me. Are you cold at all?"
"Yes, I am."
"I am going to draw you bath." Goes to uncover the blankets to get up. Amber holds on to his arm. Gray lays back down. "What is it?"
"Thanks for saving me."
"Amber, I am your Knight. I will always save you." Smiles down at her. "Now lets give you that bath." He had gotten dress a hour ago. When notice, that her body temperature was returning to normal. In that time, while she was sleeping. Took her clothes to be wash and dry. Gray was standing in the door way of his bathroom. "There is my housecoat for you to wear."
He points to the bottom of the bed. She sits up, but covers herself with the bed sheets and puts on the housecoat. Has wore this many times in the past. After making love, she still wanted to feel something of his on her, to stay connected until they made love again. "The bath is ready for you."
Gray remember when she would wear his housecoat or a shirt of his. His wife was sexy in anything she put on. He holds out his hand towards her. Stands up to hold his hand and takes a step and falls forward. "Ouch, my ankle."
Amber sits back on the bed. Gray kneels down. "Let me take a look. Sure enough your ankle is swollen and bruised. You are going to need crutches."
"Great, I can never use those things well."
"I remember, the last time you twisted your foot. I had to carry you around."
"It wasn't all the time."
"Close to it. Might as well get you dressed and get you over to hospital."
She shakes her head. "Bath please, first."
He arches a brow. "Need me to carry you to the tub.?"
"I can hop, I am good at that."
He laughs. "Dodging me are you?"
She looks away from him. "No."
"Then let me carry you."
"Gray, I can manage getting from here to there."
"Prove it!"
"Find, I will!" The dark blue hair woman gives Gray a smug look. She stands up tall and limps her way to the bathroom.
"That not hopping."
"At lest I am getting where I need to be."
"Wife don't be stubborn." She sticks her tongue out at him. He smirks. "I can see where this is going."
"Like where?" He sweeps her off her feet and carries her back over to the bed.
"Gray put me down!"
Lays her down. Gray gets on the bed, puts a leg on each side of her. Then puts his hands by her head he leans down inches from her face. "You want to know where, Amber. Here, on this bed. I put you down where I want you to be. I want to make love to you. The same bed, we have loved each other on. The same bed we conceived the twins on." His hand pulls at the strings of his robe, slips his hand inside.
"We didn't make them on this bed Gray. I got pregnant at the hot springs."
He looks at her and frowns. "From the resort to the party you were already 8 weeks along. You said you found out before the party?"
"I did, I very rarely got morning sickness, with the boys. When I did I felt terrible."
He put his hand on her stomach. "We can make the next one right here, right now?"
"Gray, I want the bath."
Continues to looks at her and she looks back at him. His hand is still on her stomach and rubs with his thumb "I want you. I want a other child with you. I know you always wanted a big family." Pulls the housecoat all the way open and gazes over her upper body. His hand goes onto her waist and moves up her body and touch the side of her breast. Her heart starts beating fast. A third time can't happen.
She sits up and pushes him away. "Bath, I am still cold."
Sits up on the bed and re covers her self up. Gray knew it probably wasn't the best time to try and make love to her. The ordeal she went through tonight, she was still feeling the effects from it. Still concern over her fever. He puts his hand on her forehead. "I'll help you to the tub. I believe your fever is getting higher. When you are finished, get dressed and we will go the Hospital."
"Can't I limp around instead."
"No, because I would end up carrying you every where again. As of now, we aren't in the same house yet."
"Fine, I'll quickly have the bath and go."
"Your dress and undergarments are in the bathroom." He picks her up and carries her to the washroom.
"Gray I can make it on my own."
"Sorry, my love can't stand to see you struggle with you ankle. Best to live with this for now." Lets her go right in front of the tub. "I'll help you get in."
"Gray, no."
"Amber, don't argue with me. Do behave as your doctor tells you so." Really didn't wanted to undress in front of him. It might spur on a other moment, to which she wasn't sure if she could resist the temptation. Amber pulls off his housecoat and hands it over to him. Hangs up the coat at the back of the bathroom door and comes back over. Gray checks her out as he helps her into the tub. In his mind, he thought hell to the bath. To take her back to their bed they once share and make love to her like in the past, for hours.
Gray kneels beside the tub. "Hand me the soap, I'll wash you."
"Gray, we aren't together. Can you please leave the bathroom."
Shows her his hand again. "We are together Amber. Even if this ring is not on your ring finger. It still represents what it stands for. Our commitment to one other." Amber places the face cloth over her breast to feel more secure being in the tub. With his intense blue eyes and the desire he was showing her. It would be only a matter of time before she finds herself underneath him. "With your fever you might start to feel weak, I want to help. You allow me to do this when you been sick before."
"Only my back ok."
"Alright, lean forward." He takes some of his body soap and grabs the cloth that is covering her front. Dabs some onto it, and rubs her back in circles. Hands it to her afterwards. "I'll be waiting out there, call to get out of the tub. Don't say no to me. You will call or I am coming back in five minutes."
Amber mumbles something underneath breath. "Find doctor I'll do as you say."
"You don't want to become a bad patience." Comes closer to her ear. "Bad ones, get kissed, melt by my touch and always is asking for more." Stands up. Her eyes travel up to his. He winks at her. "Soon my dear. You will be saying please take me to bed."
She clicks her tongue. "In your dreams. Gray."
"You are in my dreams every night, my love. I am trying to make it turn into a reality." Leaves the bathroom and she slumps back into the tub.
Sure to his word when the five minutes were up, he was back in the bathroom. Helping her out of the tub. Dried her off with out asking and help her get dressed. Every touch he made along side her body. Sent waves coursing through out her. The memories once more manifest of the times when she came down sick. He was so attentive and caring back then. She held back the tears.
Without taking her jacket because it had to be dry clean. Gray grab a smaller blanket from the closest. When he help her into the car. Place the blanket around her. To keep away a chill. "I'll turn on the heater in the car."
She nods. "Gray!?"
"Yes?"
"I am feeling dizzy."
He sighs, hoping she wouldn't get worse. "You getting sick my dear. We will get you some medication when we get to the hospital." He Drives to the hospital and he holds her hand. Amber had no strength right now to fight him off. Even for a little hand holding.
Amber is now the one laying down on the hospital bed, getting check over by a women Doctor. Sherry was her name, and Gray ask her personally to check on Amber. He didn't want any of his male coworkers to come near her, not even Loke when they walked in.
"So Gray what happen?" Gray didn't really want to retell him what happen this evening. It was already past 12am. Wanted her looked over, get her medication and crutches and take her back home.
"Knowing you, you will pester me until I spill." He takes a sip of his coffee while waiting on word from Sherry.
"Of course I would do that. If there is slightest bit of juicy deals I want to hear it all." Gray told him what happen. "That explains the nice bruise you got on you jaw." Loke pokes him where it hurts.
"Cut that out."
"Did Amber kiss your owie to make you feel better."
"No, but I want her to feel better. I think I am particularly at fault here. If I didn't go after her tonight, and get in a fight with him. She wouldn't be laying in that room."
"Buddy, do not blame yourself for this. What happen this evening, happen. You where going after your wife and making sure Sting knows who she really belongs too."
He runs his finger through his hair. "I hope he will stay clear of her from now on."
"Doesn't he show up at her bosses office quiet often."
"Not to sure, she hasn't share much of her personal and private life."
"Good luck in keeping her off the market. If there is no more Sting, there will be someone else."
"Loke, she is off the market and no else is stepping in on my territory."
"Does she know that."
"I have made it perfectly clear since I seen her here, like a week ago."
"Well keep up the fight. I got ya get back to work. It looks like Sherry is done." He points to her as she walks over to him from Amber's wait room.
"Gray, I have looked her over. I have wrapped her ankle and give her crutches. I given her some some gravel to help with the upset stomach and dizziness. She is coming down with the flu. I don't have to tell you, how she should get better."
"Thanks Sherry, I'll take her home now."
"No problem. She is a very lovely lady. I like her." Sherry waves by and heads down the hallway.
He makes his way over to the room she is in. Opens the door and she standing up, trying to use the crutches. "We have been here long enough, lets get you home." Amber uses the crutches making sure she doesn't look silly and walks towards him. "Still dizzy."
"Yeah." Gray could tell by her voice, she wasn't feeling well now. In the past when she got sick. She was very subdued and hardly talked. Her and Josh are mostly the same, she too got sick easy." They both head out towards Gray car, and again he helped her in. When they were driving away from the hospital. Amber notice, they where not going to her place.
"Gray, my home?"
"Not right now. Do you want to wake up the twins and Lucy. I'll take you back sometime tomorrow. Right now you need some sleep."
"Gray!"
"Amber stop!" He turns to look at her. "I am angry at what happen tonight. Yeah, I could have handle it better. You shouldn't have not gone out with him. We will talk about this at a different time. For now, I want to see you resting and get better for our kids."
Amber knew he was mad at her. She was waiting for his outburst to show up. A part of her struggle to go out with Sting tonight. Lucy try to cram common sense into her head. Yet, she didn't want to hear it. Trying to maintain the life she was living before running into Gray again.
Back at his apartment, she sat down on the couch and put the crutches bedside her. Gray goes into his bedroom and comes back out with something in his hand. Walks over to her and stands in front. Holds two articles of clothing in front of her. "Which one do you care to wear. You can't sleep in your dress." In her view, was one of her old nightgowns and the second clothing was a favourite shirt of his that she loved to wear. She smiles looking at both of them. Amber's hand reaches out and takes the shirt. "That is progress, my love."
Gets off the couch and takes her crutches and makes her way to his bathroom. Before she heads into the bathroom and turns around. She points to the couch. "I'll sleep there."
When she makes it out of the bathroom. Gray takes a deep breath in. She looked sexy as hell in his shirt. Could never forget how she looked all this time. His lower half and the rest of his body wanted her. Her long hair is still down since being into the water to witch is driving him nuts. Wants his hands tangle in her hair, as he kisses her deeply. Amber makes her way over to the couch. "No you aren't sleeping there. Come with me." He lefts her up into his arms and carries her over back to bed. "Like I said before, I'll put you down where I want you. I'll sleep on the couch, you need a good few hours of sleep. Instead of me being near you and trying to have my way."
Before he walks away and she grabs hold of his shirt at his wrist. He turns his head and looks down at her. "Stay, you can control it." A other thing she did when she was sick. Wanted comfort, and to be wrap up in his arms.
"I can't promise that I'll try to do something."
"You will not, not when I am like this."
Couldn't refuse her and he wanted to hold her anyways. Nods his head. "I will comply to your wishes." He too uses his bathroom and comes out in pj bottoms only. Underneath the covers he goes and brings her closer to his body. "Now sleep alright." He kisses her forehead.
"Goodnight Gray."
As she falls asleep, he watches her for a bit. "Still can't say that I will not try anything. But at lest you are in my arms for now. Goodnight my love."
