On with story...
A tall raven lays on top of his bed naked after having sex with a tall blonde. She was a actress and they just finished wrapping up a movie that they are both are in. They played the lead actors in the movie for the last few months. Gray was seeing Michelle during the tapping and it help boost her career by going out with him. Tonight was the last time they will be together. It was only sex between them and nothing more. They could see other people if they wish too and not get mad at one other. This was his life, he was a playboy to have any women on his arm.
His ears hears the water shuts off and the curtain in the bathroom gets push back. It only takes a other minute for the blonde to come out with a towel around her body and she was already drying her hair with a other.
"Gray, thanks again for being so much fun."
"No problem Michelle, if we work together again. We should do more of this."
"Sorry darling, I can only handle your type for so long and I have to move on to the next guy."
"That's a shame. I enjoyed being with you for a short while."
"Gray we both know that once I walk out of that door. You will have someone else here by tomorrow. I will be forgotten."
"Give me some credit here. I might shed a few tears of your farewell."
"Ha! That will never happen until you find the right one."
Gray stands up from his bed and walks over to the bedroom door to grab his robe from the hook. He ties it closed and opens the door. "Me finding the right one. Nah."
"You never know Gray. A loves arrow can hit ya from behind."
"Michelle, my life is to carefree to think of cupid controlling my love life. We are young, I am here to enjoy it. I am going into the kitchen. Want to have coffee before you go?"
"No, I can't got early interview this morning with People Magazine."
"Nice. good for you."
"It's all thanks to you, Gray."
"Michelle, you have worked hard to climb the career ladder. It's all on your merit. I'll leave you to get dressed."
Gray heads down the stairs of his spiral stair case and steps onto the foyer floor. Then he makes a right and walks into his living room. He goes past his white love sofa and piano and pushes on the kitchen door to enter. In the cupboard he finds five different kinds of coffee and grabs the one he just brought from being overseas in doing a shoot. It was from Paris the coffee beans smells fabulous and the taste was incredible. Brews pot and waits for it to finished. He looks at the clock that was on the stove. "Only 11:30? I thought it was way later then that."
Gray opens the fridge door and takes out the cream. He puts it on his kitchen island by the sugar and goes to grab a cup. "Should check my email. See if Amber sent me anything regarding tomorrows work." Pours coffee into the cup and puts in cream and sugar. Then he takes the cup with him, to go into this office. He sees Michelle fully dress and walking down the stairs. He stops and takes a sip of his coffee.
"Don't you have early morning too?"
"About to check out my email to see."
"Amber doesn't text you with that stuff."
"Oh she does. If it's something new she puts into a email. She is very particular and detail in her work."
"I have seen her in action. That women is a insane manger but she is good. Wish she was mine, the guy I have he walks to fast. It's really hard to catch up with him."
"Jet isn't to bad. At lest you don't have Erza. She is a slave driver."
Michelle shutters at the thought of that. "Yeah, my poor sister has her. Lucy complains non stop." She goes around Gray to heads for his front door and gets in front of her to open it for her.
"When I done in my office. We could go for one more around. Even though you have said no. I still am not satisfy."
She shakes her head. "Your limbo needs a time out. I do need to go home"
"See ya next time then?"
"Until then. Say hi to Amber for me. She gave me some good tips they have worked."
"I'll pass that along to her tomorrow." Michelle kisses his cheek and heads out into the night. He closes his door and heads to his office. The room was spacious, with a large window looking out into his yarn. His desk was made out of oak and so where his bookshelves. Gray was a avid reader when he would take sort breaks from women or be between jobs. He sits down in his leather office chair and turns on the lamp by his computer. He turns on the monitor and desktop computer. The waits for it to load up.
"I wonder if she is still in her office at this time. Michelle thinks Erza is a hard manger. Amber probably works along the same pace as her. She has improve my career and certainly knows how to do the job." He puts in his password and goes to his email. Sure enough there was a email from her. The time that it was sent wasn't that long ago.
"I was right. She is still there."
He reads the email. It was about the commercial for tomorrow at 9 am. She was coming by his place at 7am to go over some details and to drive him to his appointments for the day. He as never question her work ethic or has ever had a problem with her. She was very professional and worked hard. He picks up his phone and dials her number.
"Amber Fernandes speaking."
"I read the email about the shampoo commercial."
"Hello Gray. Glad you read it. You have questions about it?"
"Those can wait for the morning."
"That is fine. I will be at your house at 7."
"I saw that. Michelle is not here, so you will not see her in the morning."
"The movie shoot ended. On to the next one?"
"I have a eye on someone."
"Let me know who it is and remember be discreet. I continue to have the vision of that one women stuck in my mind. Then again I should have knocked."
"Hehe. I was enjoying it before you walked in, then walked back out again."
"Stuff like that should be done in the bedroom not in the living room."
"Amber when the mood has control of you, let it ride it out."
"Yes I know Gray. But seeing the 69 potion on your couch. Will haunt me."
He smirks into his phone and turns off his monitor. "Are you telling me that you haven't ever..."
"This is not a topic to have at midnight."
"Oh come on, share."
"We have a professional working relationship. Not to know the kinky working activities outside of the bedroom."
"Pleasssse."
"Gray, as your manger. I am saying no."
"Booooo." She tries not to laugh and clears her throat.
"It's getting late Gray you need your sleep for tomorrow. A big day for you and many more coming."
"Yes yes yes. Heading there now."
"I wish you goodnight." She hangs up the phone back on the receiver and looks at computer screen. If he knows her background, he wouldn't dare ask her other thing. She shakes her head to clear it. Gray only knows that she ended a relationship on bad terms and doesn't speak of it.
"No use to thinking of the past. It was horrible experience and I will not go through that again." Her fingers zoom over the keyboard to quickly write up a report to her boss regarding some up and coming events. When she sign off, she closed down the office floor and walks out. At times she is not the only person that works late on behalf of their actors. The building she worked in was called Fairy Tail Entertainment. Home of the most popular actors, singers, game hosts and radio personal. The security guard that was station on her floor came out of room and saw her heading for the elevator.
"Good night Amber. Want me to take you to your car?" Macao asks her. He was older gentleman and works nights in the building.
"No, thanks. I will be ok. Is Gajeel working on the bottom floor?"
"He is, I'll inform him on the radio that you are heading down."
He walks her to the elevator and pushes the button for it to come up.
"Working late again I see."
"I really don't mind it. Gray has a lot coming up and I am making sure it goes smoothy. Tomorrow is the start of some sleepless nights." The elevator makes a stop on the floor and Macao holds the door for her. She steps inside and pushes the number 1.
"Have good night Amber."
"You too Macao, say hi to Romeo for me."
"He was thrilled when he got that autograph from his favorite singer. Not to sure how you did it. You hung the moon in his eyes."
"We mangers try to know each other. It was easy to ask her for it." She waves bye as the door closes and she heads on down.
The other guard was waiting for her when she appears. "Gajeel, How are you?"
"It's going, nothing to do." She rises her brow at him.
"What are you excepting to happen on your shift?"
"More excitement. Chasing bad guys, pulling out my gun and saying freeze or eat lead."
"Then why don't you join the police department for that."
"My girl Levy told me no. If I want to carry a gun, I could work here." She looks up at the tall man with long black hair that was tie back and earrings in his ears.
"I am sure she wants you safe."
"I think she is to paranoid."
"Don't let her catch wind of that. You might be the dog house."
"Trying not to put my foot in my mouth."
"Buy her flowers and all will be well." They head to her car in the underground parking lot. She pulls out her keys and uses the remote to get her car started.
"Be sure to buy some after my shift in the morning."
"She will love them. Goodnight Gajeel."
"Same to you Amber."
She starts the car and turn the air on at full blast. The summer heat was never ending. The humidity tonight was scorching. With the cool air hitting her the ride home will be easier. She will only have enough time to eat, take a quick shower and hop into bed. Her alarm would have to be sent for 5:30. Gray's place was out of town and it takes about 20 minutes to get there.
"I thought for certain I would be staying the night in the office, but I manage to get some of my work finished before the deadline for President Makarov Dryer to review them."
The stereo turn on she puts the car into drive and heads for home. At this time of night there would be less traffic. In the morning she would have to beat the morning commute. She turn right at the second light from the company building. Her apartment wasn't that far from work. She wish she could walk most days, but she drives Gray to his appointments. It was easier that way instead of taking two cars. Very rarely he would attend on his own if something came up that took her away.
Her apartment building had assigned parking lots. She didn't need to go searching for one this late at night. She pulled into hers and turn off the car. Her head rested on the head rest and closed her eyes. She was totally tired and ready to go straight to sleep. There were a few times that she fallen asleep in the car and didn't make it to her bed.
A tap at her car window startled her awake. She looks at the interior car clock it was 1am. She rolled down her window. "This is becoming a habit Amber, catching you asleep in the car."
"Sorry to have trouble you Rogue."
"Lucky for you, I am a night owl." He opens the car door for her. She gathers her things and leaves the car.
"Long day?"
"It was, but I don't notice it to often." Rouge closes her door and walks to the building with her.
"Want a late night snack?"
"No thanks going to climb into bed. Was planning to have a quick bite, but will have to skip it."
"A rain check?" Rogue has been trying for awhile now to sweet talk his way for Amber to see his advances. Nothing has been working and when he tries to get close she backs up.
"Maybe, This week is going to be busy." Amber sees Rogue as a friend, knowing that he likes her. She has avoided getting close to him or anyone. Her last boyfriend was a nightmare and it took a long time for her to have a descent conversation with any guy. The memories of her past will edge its way to the surface. Pushing them back down is hard. The beatings she received at the hand of her ex lover scares her to her core.
"Let me know when you are free. Can take you out for coffee." He holds the door open, she proceeds him going inside.
"I am fatter by your offer Rogue. It's late, and I want to go to bed. Her place was on the bottom floor. His was a few doors from hers. She makes her way to her entrance and pulls out her keys.
"I guess its not the best time." Her hand covers her mouth as she yawns. If she doesn't sleep now. She will be using a energy drink tomorrow.
"Good night! Rogue" She unlocks her door and enters in. Rogue puts a hand on her shoulder and she jumps.
"Get back!"
"Sorry, I wanted to say goodnight before you went in." She touches her shoulder from feeling his hand print on her.
"Don't touch me with out permission."
"With out permission? Amber it's harmless, I am harmless. I haven't seen you act this way before."
"Just go back to your apartment Rogue goodnight." The door closes on his face and he stood there stud. Never has he encounter her like this. She always so pleasant and talkative. He will have to remind himself the next time when he sees her to be careful. She leans up against the door with tears almost falling from her eyes.
"Dam you, Dan! If you didn't do those things to me. I would be with someone else now, loving someone." She slides down her door unto her floor and puts her legs up to her chin and rocks her self back and forth. A little squeak can be heard by the couch, when a blue fur ball comes walking towards her and rubs up against her leg.
"Happy, what am I to do?" He rolls unto his back, wanting a belly rub. She smiles at the male cat and does as he wishes. "You are no dog, but you are my emotional support." After giving Happy some attention, it helps ease her discomfort from earlier.
"Everyday I keep myself focus on work. Not letting him interfere with my life again. Even when he is out of the picture he still has a hold on me." The floor wasn't going to get her closer to her bed and to sleep. She gets up off the floor with the cat in her arms.
"Time for bed, Happy." Her brief case goes on the kitchen table, that had other paper scatter on top.
"I forgot to finished filling this out. The appointment is next week. Well have to take them with me tomorrow. Complete them while Gray is working." When she gets into her room, she unclothes everything and puts them into her hamper. A light pink nightgown goes over her head and it reaches to her knees. The top covers of her bed gets pulled back, she wasn't going to bother with brushing her teeth or washing her face. Sleep was calling her. Her alarm is set and it's the last thing she sees before shutting her eyes. She was asleep before hitting her pillow. Happy jumps on the bed and curls up beside her and wanting her body heat. Then he was fast asleep too.
Gray takes off his reading glasses and puts his book on the nightstand table. He wanted a to read one chapter before calling it at night. He should have been already counting sheep already. "Should be up before she gets here." The email he read had him doing a commercial, but the other stuff that was also waiting for him tomorrow he did not know about. He turns off his lamp and snuggles in for the night. He looks up at the ceiling thinking of the next women he wanted to bed. He was looking forward to pursue her and wanting to know what she is like between the legs. His family hasn't been to keen on his playboy behavior. This was his life and he can do what he wants. He was asked by his dad, Silver to come home this weekend for a visit. Wither or not his schedule will let him. If he asks Amber to switch things around, it could be possible.
"Got to ask her tomorrow." He rolls onto his side and goes to sleep. It was going to be a long day, he is usually prepare for it. He may be starting off early in the morning, but it depends on when he will get home. Sometimes his days are 18 hours long or more, with doing t.v appearance or working on a movie. Then there are interviews to promote his works. Amber was one of the best mangers he has hired and if Lyon didn't introduce her to him, then his career would have tanked by now.
The morning sun hurt Amber's eyes as she was driving to Gray's place. She had to take some aspirin for her headache. Her coffee pot was left empty with out having a fresh cup. She had ran out of coffee beans. The bitter taste of having Starbucks wasn't what she wanted this morning. At lest the traffic flow was not bad yet, but it would soon pick up. The next exit is where she turns to head for his place. "Why be out in the country, there are a lot of houses in the city, with everything you need." She pulls out a cigarette from her purse and uses the lighter of the car to light it. Her smoking habits have increase lately, she wanted to quit, but has been lighting up since she was a teen. Like most groups in school she wanted to fit in. She ended up smoking when her friends started to do it too. She inhale and exhale smoke out her car window. Then she flick the ash from the cigarette. This one smoke will last her a few hours at most.
His house was in view as she drives down the highway. At lest he didn't have a long drive way into the mountains. The area was very lovely, she didn't care for the mosquitoes in the summer. She pulls up to one of three sports cars in front of his house. They were mostly to impress the women he was trying to bed. Could never understand a guy who jumps from women to a other one in flash. He did have one car that wasn't a sports one. It was parked in his garage for right now. With the car shut off, she throws her butt out the window. Grabs her brief case and purse. Opens the car door and heads for the house.
There was no point in knocking on the door. Gray did say that Michelle wasn't going to be there this morning. If he did have a girl there she would knock or ring. Opens the front door and allows herself in. "Gray!" She shouts hoping he wasn't still in bed. It has happen a few times, to not to her liking. Finding him in bed naked with a other women. That is why she has always asked him to be discreet.
"I am in kitchen!" She turns in the direction of his voice. The t.v was turn on in the living room as she walks through. The news was on, but after that it was a cooking show. Pushes on the door and peeks into the kitchen.
"Ready?"
"Want coffee?" He was showing her a cup. The aroma in the air was making her breath in deeply it was a good brew too.
"Half cup, please."
She goes over to the table and sits down. He puts the cup in front of her. She grabs the sugar bowl and creamer and puts some into the cup. When she takes the first taste of it, it was like heaven.
"I needed this."
"Did you have a late night?"
"Got a couple hours of sleep, but I had no coffee beans this morning and having to buy a cup on the way is not cutting it." He goes back over to the stove and cracks eggs into a pan. Then puts some toast into the toaster.
"What questions do you have for me?"
"It was a shampoo commercial correct?"
"Right now it's not to promote your movie. That will start soon, and yes that is the commercial you are doing today. You will be set up in different locations all day."
"Is it just me or other actors." Pulls out her laptop out of her briefcase and opens it up and turns it on. Looks through the folder that had the information on the shampoo scene.
"Yes, there is a few more actors. You know all of them."
"Great, at lest it's not newbies."
"If there were, you would be respectable." The toast pops up and he grabs them and puts them on a plate. The eggs were sizzling and he was turning some bacon in a other pan.
"You said, on the phone you have eye on someone. You know the drill when you start your advances."
"That sounds like I am lion looking for pry." He turns to her to give her a smile. Showing his pretty white teeth and a dimple on one cheek.
"Aren't ya?"
"Depends on the women."
"Really. I would think since you are only getting them into your bed. You snap you fingers they will zoom right to you."
"I am not Fonzie"
"With your raven black hair. Sure you can be. Slick it back and get a leather jacket and go Ehhhhh." She puts up two thumbs while doing the actions of the older actor. Gray rolls his eyes at her. Then he grabs some plates from the cupboard and starts filling it up.
"The girl is working at a opposite agency. Juiva is her name."
"You mean that blue hair women that mentions her name in every sentence. The one that you met last week at the late night talk show?"
"Good memory. That is the one." He comes over to the table and moves the laptop to the side and puts a plate in front of her. She looks down at the food and looks back up.
"Looks good." Gray would often make her breakfast when she comes over to his house so early in the morning. He knows that she doesn't eat at all and lives on meal suppliants drinks.
"Chow down, it's better then drinking that man made crap. That has no calories and it doesn't fill you up."
"At lest it's something." She picks up her utensils and digs in. The food was divine, even she will not admit to having something delicious compare to drinking it down. Gray goes back over to the counter and picks up a bowl of fruit. It gets put down in the center of the table and he goes to get himself a plate of food.
"What is her manger name? I can give him the run down." The other chair gets pulled out and he sits down across from her with his own plate.
"Zeref, I believe." Her fork goes down by the plate and with her right hand opens up a word document and starts typing."
"What a interesting name."
"I hear he has a brother that is a actor, they tried working together only to butt heads. I think Natsu is he name."
"I have heard of him, bright pink hair that rushes into everything." He looks up from his plate and she has taken a other bite into her mouth while looking at her screen. He was glad to see her eating.
"He can get a little exuberant on set."
"Hmmm will at lest you haven't worked with him yet."
They continue to eat and talk for a bit more when Amber notices the time getting ahead of them. She almost spit out her coffee when they should have been out the door by now.
"We got to go. Didn't pay attention to the time." They both stand up from the table and Amber was busy putting her laptop away.
"Amber!" She turns to look at him and he pops a strawberry into her mouth. If it wasn't Gray she would have jump ten feet back. This was common for him do such things. Over time, Amber knew he was a good man, even though his life style was in the tabloids lots.
"You need your fruits." He gather up the plates and puts them into the sink. She starts chewing on the fresh fruit in her mouth. It was sweet and tasted good. She reaches into the bowl for a few more. Gray saw from the corner of his eye that she took some.
With everything in her hands and Gray grabbing his backpack they leave his house. They walk over to her car and he gets into the back seat. Amber gets into the driver side and starts the car. As she backs up and he starts asking the questions he been putting off.
"This weekend can be changed around right?"
"A few things can be, why? You want to take Juiva out?"
"I am hoping for Friday, but I have something plan on Sunday."
"What time?" He looks out the side window and looks at the farmer cutting his hay filed.
"4pm. Dad ask me to come over."
"I can arrange to move things over to Monday."
"Thanks that will help out a lot."
"Friday, need me to make a reservation?"
"I can do that, first I have to see if she will be willing to go out with me."
"Be your charming self I am sure she will fall at your feet." She looks at him in the rear view mirror.
"You say that all the time. Have you not seen anyone turn me down?"
"Good point."
"What about you, anyone on your radar?" The grip on the steer wheel tighten at the thought of going out with anyone. Dan ruin any chance for her to be in other relationship.
"No, no one."
"All this time I have known you, you haven't gone out with anybody. Was the last break up that bad to break your heart so much."
With out going into much detail and having him asking more. She simply said this. "I am busy as it is. My work is my relationship. I do not need a man to fill it."
"What about your needs, your sexual desires. You can't tell me that you are going to be celibate for the rest of your life. At lest you must have toys."
"Gray not discussing my life with you."
"You know everything pertaining to mine." The light up ahead was on red and she stops at the intersection."
"We have had this talk many times before. It's something I don't want to talk about. It's no business of yours or anyone else. I am fine with my life. I have my job and my cat."
"Happy can't fill that need."
"Gray stop! We will be arriving soon at the studio. Get focus."
"Kill joy."
It took her months of therapy to get through some of the raw anguish that she suffer at his hands. Even when the sessions stop, the things that where left. Was getting near men again. She could talk to someone, but when they touch her. She would freak and think she was being attack again. What happen with Rogue last night was prime example of that. If she can see a hand being raised in a hand shake. She was fine, but if it was involuntary place on her arms or shoulder she would scream and tell them to ask for permission. That is why she stays a few feet away from men all together. Her eyes are always watching a man movements. With being around women it was different. She felt normal, if she was hugged by a girlfriend no panic what so ever.
Amber looks down at her briefcase. The papers she had on her table last night she put them in there this morning. Filling them out was important. The next stage in her life was going to begin soon. When she told her brothers about it. They had miss givings, but they wanted to show her their support. Knowing how her life has been like up to this point. If Mystogan didn't come over to her house that day. She wouldn't be alive now. They were furious to know what Dan did to their sister. Her older brother Jellal sought out Dan and gave him beating he hope he never forget. Dan was arrested afterwards, sent to jail. Amber spent over a month in the hospital recovering from the last ever beating.
Her window was being rolled down as she nears the studio entrance. She had to show the guard her id to be allow in with Gray. "Good day Miss Fernandes, you may enter." She says her thanks and drives on through.
"Where do I go?"
"Studio five."
A parking space was available near close to were they need to be. Amber shuts off the car and gets her things. Gray does the same and they both head for their day of work. Her watch says 8:45. They made it on time at lest with her speeding a little. She hated showing up late for anything, it wasn't proper. Gray was a star, but that doesn't mean he can act like spoil actor. Her cell starts ringing.
"So it begins." Gray walks ahead of her and she follows behind. He opens the door and she holds it open for him to enter. The hallway way leading to the were the commercial was being produce had all sorts of people. From other actors to stage hands, directors to writers. Everyone was busy in there work schedule and to make the best move, t.v show, music video etc.
Gray looks back to see if Amber was still following him. She was talking to someone about a other project that he was on the list for that day. "Yes, he will be there late this after noon at 3. I will be there as will. No I can't not show up. As his manger I have to over seen his work and make sure everything runs smoothy. If something goes wrong, he can be yanked out, got it. You can find someone else."
She motions for him to carry on walking and points to the door at the end of the hallway. Each room was space out to fit scenes for the shoots. He opens the door and walks in, people where still trying to sit it up. He looks around for the director or at lest someone in charge. Amber ends the call and puts the cell in her purse for the next time it will ring and it will.
"Gray over here!"
"It's Midnight." His real name was Macbeth, it was to much of a girls name so all of them started calling him midnight cause he tends to fall asleep during the shoot he had the sleeping disorder called narcolepsy.
Midnight comes running over to him. "Thanks for coming on board. We are promoting a new Shampoo by Dove." As they talk and Gray gets the details. Amber goes over to a near by table. She likes to stand in the back and out of everyone's way. Kind of watches from the sidelines. If anything comes up she is right there to intervene if necessary.
Her laptops was coming back out ready to get down to work when a blonde pops into her view. She looks up and sees Lucy. "Amber, happy to see you."
"Lucy are you here I saw your name on the list."
"Yeah I am will be playing his wife, or girlfriend that will be running my fingers through his hair." Lucy gives her a hug and steps back. She was already set up to act. Her hair and make up was already done.
"That is your role this time?"
"It's something that Erza got me."
"She here?" Amber looks around the room to see if she can find the red hair beauty.
"Not until later. She is with a other client at the moment."
"To bad wanted to talk to her about something."
"Is it about, what you asked her before." Amber looks at her, she didn't want anything leaking out of their conversation.
"Shhh. Yes, why do you know?"
"I asked, she told me. I mostly begged her to tell me. I wanted to know, we are all friends right. I think it's splendid, if she doesn't think so."
"I wanted her opinion. My brother's already gave me theirs. Wanted a women point of view."
"With Erza she will sure give it to you. Don't take it to heart."
"No I will not."
"Lucy can you come here too please?" Midnight wanted to start shooting right away and he was done talking to Gray.
"See ya Amber."
"Good luck Lucy."
The laptop is being set up, right beside her briefcase. She sees Gray walking away from Midnight and giving Lucy a high five.
"I am heading to make up now."
"I will be right here." She looks around the room one more time to see where everyone was at. She shuffles her feet over a little at the table to have that space between her and Gray. A chair was beside her that she will use for a bit. When she was done with her laptop, she would be standing at the back watching until his next job.
"I saw Juiva manger in the hallway when we were walking down. She is in the building."
"Right, still have to contact Zeref. I might leave for a time, if that is alright."
"Don't need to tell me where you going. You are my ride, can't leave with out you."
"Good, I think they are ready for you at make up. She is waving you over." He turns his head and sees brunette gleeful waving her arms.
"A other of your conquests Gray."
"No, but she could be." He gives her a wink.
"Don't juggle."
"Might give it a try." She makes a face at him thinking if he had two women in his bed. Her mind didn't want to think of the newspapers getting a hold of that."
"NO! Gray."
"Pttttt. Sour puss." She puts her hand on her hip and points to the make up artist. When her hand hits the briefcase it goes onto the floor in the contents gets spilled.
"Great. Gray get going."
"I'll help."
She bends to start picking them up. Gray kneels as well to grab some of the papers. He wasn't really paying to what all the papers were until one caught his eyes, by one word Fertility.
"What is this?" He picks the paper up with the whole name at the front.
"Magnolia Fertility Center." Amber snatches the paper from his hands.
"Gray work."
"Amber, what is going on?"
"No need to know." He looks back at the women still waving him over. Her cell was starting to ring again.
"Now, I have seen this. You will tell me later." He walks away from her to get into the make up chair. Her cell was still ringing. If she didn't put the papers into her case. He wouldn't be the wiser one to find out about it.
"Shit." Picks the cell out of her purse to answer. This day was going to be long and now she felt it was going to go very slow. Not until he ask her again about what he saw. If she tells him, then her past is revealed. Some how it must not come up.
Gray sits down in the chair and looks at her in mirror. Very little he knows about her life. He knows of her brothers because of his own brother Lyon, but her love life was not forthcoming. If she was with someone and they are having problems. Why didn't she say that she is not seeing anyone and her job is her life. At some point today he wanted to get a real answer out of her. He wanted time to speed up.
