He was standing in the shower washing his hair for the commercial. As the camera and the man operating behind it zooms in for a close up of his hair. He continues to latter the shampoo, but he does it slow not fast as if you where at home and washing it normally. The director was watching closing to make sure they don't have to repeat the scene over again. So far there hasn't been any problems.
Amber had left the area to go and find Zeref, she didn't want to stay at the table and work when she felt so unsettled. Took this chance to go and pay Zeref a visit and talk about Juiva and Gray getting to know each other intimately. He was down the hallway in a other room overseeing his client work.
She opens up the door and looks around the room. This will be her first time meeting him, the encounter had to go well. The man was standing in the corner of the room with his arms folded and he was dress in a black suite with a white shirt underneath. Even his hair was just as black as his clothes. Makes her way over to him and trying not to get in the way of the other workers.
As she nears him she straightens out her top and tightens her pony tail. Takes a deep breath in and takes one more step towards him. "Excuse me are you Zeref, Juiva Manger?" He turns his head to see a tall women with dark plum hair and deep blue eyes. Like the color of the ocean during a storm. He eyes roam over her body, she had curves and her breasts were not to big, but where to his liking.
"I am? Who might you be?" She holds out her hand first so she can see him take hers. His hand was firm, and smooth she thought.
"Amber Fernandes, Gray's Fullbuster Manger."
"Oh yes, I have heard of the both of you. What brings you to my corner of the woods." They end the handshake and Amber crosses her arms. She didn't want to be underestimated because she was a women. When she speaks to anyone in her line of work, it was all business.
"I am here to inform you that Gray has his eye on Juiva would like to take her out."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"As her manger you are aware of her relationships. Being in the spot light like she is, you want to make sure that no gossip or scandals come from her seeing anyone correct."
"Of course, don't want her career to be tarnish by a playboy or anyone for that matter."
"Gray is careful, he may be carefree, but he does take it seriously." Zeref looks at Juiva about to say the next line in the script. She was on a t.v series doing a special guest spot and promoting her new movie as well.
"What does Gray what out of her?"
"That is for him to tell her. I only relay messages to mangers of his lovers. If you tell her, that he will be coming by. It's up to her if she will go out with him or not. He will move on to a other girl."
"Ha, always have someone line up next. " Zeref leans up against the wall and Juiva is repeating the line over again. Amber looks at the women on sage. She had long blue hair, and her body was slender. She can see why Gray would go for her.
"If I agree."
"It's her agreeing, not you."
"I oversee every detail in her life. Having her date this guy is a other thing I have to take on."
"Does that mean you will not allow her to date anyone?"
"She can date, but it's troublesome."
"I assure you Zeref that there will be no problems." They hear the director call cut and for the actors take to a break. Juiva sees her manger talking to a women, she knows who she is. Wondering why she was talking with him. Hops off the stage and comes walking over.
"Juiva is having a break Zeref."
"Perfect timing, I have something to discuss with you. I should say that this person here has a message for you."
"For me? For Juiva?" Amber turns her attention to the other women. She again holds out her hand for a handshake.
"My name is Amber Frenands. I am Gray's Fullbuster Manger." Juiva smiles at her and shakes her hand.
"Juiva knows who you are Amber. I have seen Gray around and recently I met him."
"Yes you did. I am here to inform both of you that he would like to go out with you. If you don't have any objections."
Her eyes goes big and a huge grin appears on her face. "He picked Juiva?" She turns around a few times and jumps up and down.
"Juiva watch what you are doing." She stops and puts her hands in front of her and bows.
"Forgive Juiva, that was unslightly."
"No need, I can tell that you are excited and you wish for him to come by."
"Oh yes, Juiva will be honor to be with Gray."
"Good, you should be seeing him soon. I will ask one thing though?"
"What is that Miss Fernandes?" Amber turns her head to Zeref. He wasn't the most approachable she has ever meet, but at lest he didn't tell her to get lost.
"I ask that you keep it discreet when you are with him. As his manger, I don't want to walk in on you two. Be professional when you see me." She pulls out her cell phone and shows it to them.
"I will offer you my phone number in case if a problems arises. Understood?" Zeref takes out a card and hands it to her. Juiva goes over to her bag and grabs her cell.
"All of my information is on that card." She accepts the card and puts it in her pocket. Juiva comes back over and they exchange numbers. The bluenette was very happy and was bouncing as the numbers are being pushed into her phone.
"I will give you my information in a email later, Zeref."
"That is fine. I carry nothing else on me."
"Juiva is happy. When will he see me?
"I am not to sure, he is doing a commercial right now. If I can have your schedule I'll see to it that he sees it and go on from there." Juiva puts her phone back and she is being ask back on set. Before she head on over. She surprises Amber and gives her a hug. Pats the girl on the back. Unsure of what to do next.
"Juiva they are asking for you, let her go."
"Sorry, Juiva sorry."
"Not to worry, it happens more then you think. There is one more thing I feel I should warn you about. Then I will take my leave."
"A warning, I don't like the sound of that."
"It's nothing to make your head explode." He raises his eye brow at her and crosses his arms. Very few people have stood up to him. His intimidation wasn't working on her, she is brushing it a side. He has heard of her and how she does her job. Can see how this playboy is able to get all theses girls on his arm. It was because of her not him, she was the go between. He can tell that you wouldn't want to get on her bad side.
"Go ahead and tell us."
"Gray doesn't look for long term. You could be with him, a day, week or a month. When he ends it, don't be heartbroken. If you understand that good, if not think more carefully if want to date him Juiva."
She nods her head. She looked a little disappointment. "Juiva wants too." Amber shakes their hands one more time and heads for the exit.
"Zeref, did you hear that. Gray wants to date Juiva."
"Remember Juiva, from the moment you start seeing him you are on a time limit with him."
"Juiva could be the one for Gray."
"Juvia! I didn't tell Amber of your tenacious behavior, don't cause trouble for me or them. I will put a stop to it right now and tell her." She rolls her eyes at him and goes back to the stage.
"Well this is going to blow up really quickly. They have no clue what is heading their way."
Her walk back to where Gray was, had her talking on the phone with someone who wanted to change the time of appointment later on in the day. She was telling them that pushing the time forward will cause him to rush for the next job. They didn't seam to care as long as Gray shown up.
Gray was getting his hair dry in the makeup chair when he sees her coming through the door walking back to the table. He was getting ready for his last scene here. When this one is over with they will be changing locations.
The chair gets pulled out and she sits down. Her phone gets slammed on the table and he heard her swear. The phone call had set her off, she didn't want to deal with hurry between sets. The person on the other end of the phone call was being impossible.
"Grrrr bloody hell, stupid person who has a grade level of a kindergarten. She was mad, this will make the afternoon worse by that one appointment. Her laptop is open in front of her and she angrily types on her keys. She keeps on mumbling about the said person on the phone.
Gray usually steers clear of her in this mood. It was best to let her calm down on her own. Her thoughts are all over the place. In the end her mind is 100% refocus she will be able to work with this mishaps. He has tried to help her in the past, but she told him to leave her alone. It was her job to work out the kinks that are thrown at her. He is amazed by what she has accomplished in a single day.
"Gray your hair is all dried now, you can go see Midnight."
"Thanks Becky." He gets out of the chair and winks at her. Her whole face turns red. If didn't have his eye on Juiva he will be more then inclined to have a one night stand with her. He walks away and Becky takes the chair and fans herself. He could swoon any girl with just his eyes alone. He had that smouldering come heather look.
"For this sceen Gray, you and Lucy will be on the couch. You will have your head in her lap. She will run her fingers through your hair."
"That is it?"
"Make sure you look up at her at lest once and smile. "
"Got ya."
He sees Lucy already waiting by the sofa. He has worked with her numerous times and hasn't made her a notch on his belt. Never felt a attraction towards her. Gray thinks of her as a friend only.
"Lucy ready to do a other sceen."
"You bet Gray. At lest my Manger isn't here to scare most of the people here. The othere day she made one of the design guys cry."
"Ouch, feel bad for him."
"He ran out the door bailing his eyes out. Wish I could have someone else instead. Thinking of asking the president to switch me to a other manger."
"Who would you want to represent you?"
"I know she has her hands full as it is, but I think she could handle a other client."
"Who, Lucy?" She points her finger over his shoulder. He turns to see the person who she is talking about.
"If you don't contest to it Gray, I want Amber."
"Ahhhh no."
"You did not even think about it."
"I know and she does have enough to do with just me. Hey I will let you ask her and see what she says, but you need to talk to President Dryer too."
"Do you mind if I talk to her after we are done today?" There was that paper he found that fell from her briefcase. He wanted to talk about it with her, before he seek out Juiva.
"Sure go a head." She gives him a hug and claps her hand.
"You are the best."
Amber looks up from her laptop and sees Lucy hugging him. The blonde was thrilled over something, her excitment was clearly evident on her face. She just hope he didn't hit on Michelle sister. Again it was a image she wish not to see. What he did behind closed doors was his business, but she had the right to keep him out of the headlines.
Midnight shouted to begin the shoot. Gray and Lucy get on the couch. Amber goes back to looking at her work. There were a few task that needed to be corrected. Once they were done those papers were next to tackle down, unless something unexpected pops up.
The next hour had them redoing the scene. He wanted different angles and the lighting was a problem. When he finally said cut. Gray and Lucy were relieved, they made there way to the dressing room to change in their regular clothes. Midnight told them to take half hour break before going to the outdoor location. Lucy got dressed quickly to talk to Amber, so Erza wouldn't find out about her talk.
The papers where done and she was putting them back into her briefcase. When Lucy comes running over to her. "Amber I need to talk to you before we go."
"What is wrong? Gray didn't try anything with you. Because if he did after your sister..."
Lucy waves her hands in front of her. "No, nothing of the sort. I have a question to ask you."
"Oh, alight?" She felt calmer when hearing that.
"What can I help you with?"
"Be my manager?"
"What? Why?"
"Erza scares me most of the time. She is so strict and has my day and night plan out. I can't breath around her, and telling her anything is hopeless. I need you. I see the way you work." Gray had come out of the dressing room and sees the two women in conversation. It didnt take long for Lucy to make a beeline to his manger. He knows what kind of work load she has with him alone. If she took on a other actor it will increase. She may be able to handle it. It is ultimately up to her if she can take it in or not. He starts walking over to the both of them.
"Lucy I don't know. Erza is a good manger and she has your best interests at heart. I may not be a slave driver like her, but we do have the same kind of skills." Amber notices Gray coming closer to them and cautiously moves to the other side of the chair. He wouldn't try to do anything to her. This was her mind acting on its own to pervent being touch from a man.
"Please Amber I am begging you, take me on." If she agree her plans to go to the Fertility center would be put on hold that wasn't something she would let slip pass her. This meant everything to her and now was the right time. Gray was going to stand by her and the chair suddenly gets pulled out. He thinks nothing of it as Amber put her briefcase on the chair.
"Sorry to interrupt you two, I am going to see someone first then we can head to the location Amber."
"That is fine, I will meet you at the car. I have seen and talk too them both." She checks her watch to see how much time to give him to see Juvia. "You have ten, ok?"
"Can probably do it in five, i'll take the ten." He smiles at the two and leaves to catch his bait that is already waiting for him.
"A other girl already?"
"Lucy back on your topic. I can't take you on right now. My hands are tie up with him." She steps closer and lowers her voice.
"You know about the other thing. If I say yes to you. The opportunity to do this now will not be on the table. Do you get it, understand?"
Lucy sighs and nods her head. "I am all in to see you do this. If I come on it will be to much."
Less and less people were in the room they all were relocating to a outside venue. They two will have to leave as well. Time is ticking and you can't stop the sun. Everything was set by the time of day.
"Have a talk with Erza, she will listen to you. Come to a compromise and see where that will go."
"I will, she should be here by now. I will see you later." Lucy heads out leaving Amber there alone. She just needed to pick up her coat and briefcase be on her way to the car.
In a other room Gray found Juvia. She was like a school girl waiting for the boy to ask her to the prom. She was in between takes. It was a good time to ask her for Friday night. "Juiva, I know you are busy. Care to go out with me on this Firday?"
"Juiva is most please to be ask. I will be happy to go with you."
"Great! I'll pick you up at six. Tell me were you live."
"That information will be passed on to your Manager, Mr. Fullbuster." Zeref was standing close to the two of them he didn't want anyone to be listening in.
"Amber doesn't need to know. I am right here asking her."
"You may get any girl you want Fullbuster, but you are dealing with me. I don't want her caught up in anything that has to do with you." Gray narrow his eyes at him. No one has ever told him what he can and can not do.
"Juiva has it written down already for you."
"I would appreciate that you did not do that Juvia. That paper could fall into someone hands. Then it could be plaster on the net or go straight to the media. I would refrain from handing that piece of paper to him. You know, better yet give it to me I saw Amber walk by I'll hand it to her." He takes the small paper from Juiva hands, puts it in his pocket. He did not want this Gods gift to women to get his own way.
Sides steps the two of them to catch up with Amber. Gray couldn't believe this was taking place right in front of him. To have someone intervene in his love life was a huge mistake on their part. Gray didn't have time for any of his antics and he follows him out the door. Juiva couldn't just stand there and wait for the outcome, she wanted to know what was going to happen.
Zeref sees her going for the exit, with a cell phone up to her ear. He starts calling out her name. "Amber!" When she does not hear him or turn around starts running towards her. The other people in the hallway get out of his way, not wanting to be push to the ground.
"Amber! Stop!" She was already heading outside and having the door close on him before he could even reach it. He pushes on the door and goes out in the bright sun. Had to shield his hand over his eyes for them to get adjusted to the light. It doesn't take him long and starts walking to see that she is heading to her car.
"That is great that the appointment can be move to Monday at the same time. It's a great relief that you can do this and yes we will show up early." She was able to move the last of his appointments he had on Sunday to Monday afternoon instead. There was one she couldn't get moved, she ended up telling them she will come instead for their first meeting and Gray will come to the next one. As a Manger she had to make sure that Gray didn't miss anything or opportunities that would come up. Took upon herself to do some of the meetings instead.
Wasn't paying attention to her surroundings as she was putting a hand on her car door handle. Her phone call hadn't even ended yet when a movement in her car window alerted her to someone presences. She turns around quickly to see Zeref about to touch her. Instincts automatically has her backing up from him. Her hand goes to her chest as she felt her heart sky rocketed. It was a close call if he had touch her arm she would be jumping five feet in the air.
"Whoa, didn't mean to scare ya. I was calling out to you, but you didn't hear me at all." Lifts up his arms to show her he mean no harm. Gray and Juiva were coming out of the building when they witness her manger holding up his arms.
"I was on the phone didn't hear you call out."
"Yeah, I can see that." The two actors walk over to her black car. Gray sees that she is a little bit unsettled. What did Zeref do to her?
"What happen?" Amber sees the two at the hood of her car and she opens her car door and stands holding on to it. It was a barrier to keep anyone from getting close to her. She had to calm herself down a little and think of excuse to her nerves.
"I spooked her a little. She was her phone and she didn't hear me at all."
"I was on my cell getting a meeting rearrange for you Gray. I was lost in conversation with the person on the other end. The next thing I knew, I caught him coming up behind me in the car window."
"Are you sure you ok?"
"Of course, a little jump like that will keep me going for the whole day. Extra boost for energy wise. Instead of taking the five hours ones." She looks at all three of them hoping they will not press anymore, but instead ask a question to Zeref.
"You needed to talk to me, Zeref."
"Yes, that is right. I thought I would hand this over to you. Gray should be informed by you as to where Juiva lives. She wrote it down on this paper and I confiscated from her before she hands it over to him." Amber looks at Gray wondering why her manger be involved with details of them getting to know each other. He pulls out the paper from his pocket and hands it to her.
"Here you go, you hold on to this." She takes it from his hands and sees the nice penmanship of the other women. With her writing she could be artist.
"Now I will take my leave, and let you get back to your call."
"Call?" He points to her cell and she hears her name being called.
"Oh dear. Why yes I shall. Thanks." Sits down in the driver seat and closes the door to resumes talking on the phone. Begins apologizes to her caller.
"I handed that to her, Juiva time to go back in to finished your scenes."
"Juiva wishes to stay for a few more minutes with Gray."
"You have one, I'll be over at the door." She makes a pouting look at her manger, he ignores it.
"I need to leave with Amber for the next location. I'll get the paper from her and see you on Friday night."
"Juiva looks forward to it. Do I need to be prepared for anything?" Gray gets closer to her and whispers into her ear. Covers her mouth as her cheeks turns a rosy pink.
"Juiva will indeed be ready. See you then Gray." She turns with her hands behind her back and hops a little to her Manger.
Gray was please to get that reaction out of her. Friday was only three days away, but he was looking forward to having a lot of fun that night. He waves at Amber to get her to look at him. Puts down her visor to have a better look at him in the sun. Her car was now turn on and the window was down.
"What is it?"
"I have to get my bag."
"Should have had it with you Gray."
"I know, wanted to see her first. I'll go and come back here fast. Wait for me."
"Can't leave without you anyways." Smiles at him and tells him to get moving. He runs back into the studio to get his things. She took this chance to completely calm down before he comes back. The call has ended she turns on the radio.
"That was a close call, If they saw the way I have acted before with others. They would see a whole different side. This is why I am so careful." Opens up her purse to pulls out the energy and one of her suppliants drinks. Gray was coming back out and running for the car he sees her drinking something and he shakes his head.
He opens up the back door and gets in. She was now shaking the energy drink in her hand. "Ready?" Turns to see him in the back seat instead of looking at him in the rear view mirror.
"I am all set." Amber was trying to twist the cap off the small little container. Gray grabs it from her hands anf opens it up for her.
"I hate these you know." Hands it back to her and she gulps it down.
"It keeps me going other wise I will be falling asleep. We have the last bit of the commercial to do and a few interviews after that. Then you will be working on your next project."
"The comedy romance movie"
"You have the option of doing two. That one or the action flick."
"I get to pick?" She looks in her rear view mirror as she puts the car into drive.
"Are you up doing two movies at once. That is a lot of travel time between each set and you have Juvia now."
"Which one is still in Mangolia?"
"The first one. The meeting for the second one is on Sunday. You will be at your parents place and I will be meeting with the director."
"You got my scheduled moved around?"
"It wasn't hard, this is the only one that would not budge. I will be working."
"You are awesome." She pats herself on the shoulder for a praise will done. Gray lays his head back on the head rest and closes his eyes. This was the time to get in rest between sets. Time to recharge the body. If a set location was a hour or so away, Amber would tell him to lay right down in the back. If she had a van he could be sprawled out in the back. Then again it would not be safe, if she were to end up getting pulled over or in car accident. If one of the two occur or something else cause harm to him. Amber would quit her job because it would be her fault. This was his life and career, she was only his Manger. Yeah she arranged everything in his daily life, but he made those scenes come alive by his skills as a actor.
The good thing with him shutting his eyes, he will not be asking her about the papers. Will try and stall him as much as possible today. He did say later, and for her will be dodging it, putting a lid on the whole thing. He doesn't need to know anything about her life even though this effects him indirectly because she will going off work for maternity leave. She had thought when the procedure work and she became pregnant then telling him after would be better, not before. All the negativity she was getting from her brothers or friends were weighing her down. Her plans where still going through with it. When she goes to the center next week that is when it will begin.
Driving to the next place wouldn't take that long, the air was turn on in the car at full blast. Didn't want Gray to get to hot. The look of his peaceful face sleeping she can tell he will get a little bit of rest. On days when he couldn't he would be fidgeting trying to, his mind is geared on that coming task. When he is also trying to grasp what the character should be it was even harder. He wasn't play a major roll today, it was a commercial he could act like himself.
They were heading to the ocean, so everything will be sit up at the beach. To find parking was a little nuts. Everyone and their dog was out on a day like today. The heat was to much for some people and hoping the cool water will help. She was able to find parking close to where the shoot will be held. When she look out towards the beach part of it was closed off. The possibility of having a crowd form to watch him act was very high. She hope security will be involved, or she will need to keep her eyes open and watch closely for any one crossing over where it is blocked off.
She turns in her seat and touches his leg. "Gray, wake up." He open his eyes and looks at her and touches her hand.
"Wasn't sleeping."
"You should of."
"How can I, when I am thinking of Juiva and Friday night." She rolls her eyes. If he wasn't thinking about sex, he would be thinking about work. It was one or the other. She wonder at times if he ever thought of anything else.
"No time right now to be thinking of her and other things." He sits up in his seat and she removes her hand. He shows off his smile at her.
"The other things are what I am thinking about. Can't wait." She shakes her head. If she was his doctor she would request for him to seek help.
"Sex crazy manic."
"Trying to live life to the fullest. Nothing wrong in that." He opens up his door and steps out. She gets out of her side as well and takes her things. She reaches into her purse and grabs her lighter and a smoke. The cigarette goes into her mouth and she lights it up. Second one in the day, probably a few more later. It may not help with the stress levels of the job, it was the nicotine she craved more.
Gray despise her smoking, it was a habit he glad he never formed. She watches him coming over to her and she flicks the ash onto the ground. Blows the smoke out the corner of her mouth. "Go on ahead I'll catch up. As you can see I am having one." The smoke rises up in her hand for him to see.
"Quiet that?"
"If the shoot isn't going to be ready yet. Have something to eat over there. I see a table set up with food. Midnight does take good care of his staff." She didn't replay back to his remark. Gray knows she is stubborn women. It was one of her good merits, but it was also her downside too. Not allowing to know nothing of her or her past. Lyon has told him a few things, he was friends with her as well.
"Going to tell your mother on you that you are smoking."
"Lucky for me I have none." He pushes his brows together regretting saying it. Her mother died when she was in collage.
"Sorry, I didn't mean.."
"Gray, it's alright. She wasn't the best mother in the world. Her death wasn't exactly predicted, she live that way of life. Blamed it mostly on my dad. If both of them took their roles seriously as parents. Then I wouldn't have been raise by my brother's in foster care. Drop it ok."
"Amber.."
"Let it go. Time to resume work." Drops the smoke not finishing the rest of it and put it out with her shoe. Then she stands a few feet in front of him and motions with her head to go. He shrug his shoulders. One day he really needed to get her to sit down. Lots of women were a open book about their lives, hers was closed tight with a lock and brick on top of that.
The crew waves to them as they start walking on the beach. There was a few tents sit up around to keep them in the shade. "I am going over there, Gray." She wasn't going to be siting down this time, but watching him work.
"I am going to grab a bite to eat." He heads over to the tent were they were setting the food up. It was almost noon and it was time for lunch. He may not be hungry at the moment, it was best to eat a little now. Amber took to standing near the tent. Her back was up against it and she had the view in front of her. The water was sparkling from the sun's rays and it was the best time to take shot. The weather could change fast, that wasn't going to happen. It was a cloudless day, the sky was blue.
"With how hot the weather is at the moment why not take off that suit jacket of yours." Amber turns to see Midnight coming towards her. The jacket never came off unless she was wearing a long selves shirt. She couldn't step back anymore, with how close he getting to her.
"Nah, I am fine. I can go under the tent if it gets to hot."
"You look hot now. Do you not get heat stoke?"
"Water is the key, got to keep drinking." He stands beside her and looks out into the ocean. She takes a few steps sideways.
"He is doing great, a good pick for the commercial."
"You say that all the time Midnight. How many times have you worked with him?"
"I have lost count after 10."
"See, you get best results from people who you know can work hard." She smiles up at him.
"With what I want him to do next. It shouldn't take very long."
"If it takes to long everyone will be dipping in to the water." He looks her over from head to toe. He would love to capture her behind the camera.
"Why don't you do a commercial for me?"
"What?"
"You have the looks and the body underneath those clothes. Have you ever thought about it."
"Never, you and Loke are the same trying to get me in front the lens."
"He has mention it to me that he would love to take some pictures of you. You haven't give in yet."
"Two years and counting. My answer to you is no."
"Bummer, I think you would be great. Isn't that right Gray." Amber turns to see him coming up to them. He was chewing on a bite of a sandwich and licks the crumbs off the side of his mouth. A women was carrying a box into a tent and was watching him. She bumps into a other person and falls to the ground. Amber tried not to laugh at the poor women. It has happen more times then none. Women eyes glue on to him they all lose there senses.
"If she has turn down Loke all this time. My bet you will never get her to side with you." He stands on the other side of her and she was boxed in between the two of them.
"I can hope for one day. I will let you know when we are ready. Head into the dressing room and change into swim shorts."
"Next stop will that."
Midnight salutes to him and walks over to his camera to sit it up. Gray looks over at the setting, he has done many water shots, this wasn't nothing new to him.
"I am going head over t the dressing room."
"Go ahead. Have fun."
"Always." He walks away from her and she sees Erza coming over with Lucy.
"Amber! I am here finally." Lucy had a robe on with her bathing suit underneath. It was open so everyone could see her slim figure and big boobs.
"Hi Erza. I wanted to talk to you."
"Lucy said you were looking for me earlier. Do you really want to talk about it now, out in open."
"We can keep our voices down."
"Fine with me. We should make it fast though before more people come. Lucy you can go."
"I want to hear what you have to say to her. I think it's great."
"Don't stay to long or Midnight will be calling for you." The tall beauty turns her head to her friend and gives her a smile.
"You may not like what I have to say. I am saying this because I care."
"I know, I have been hearing it from my brothers and other friends." Erza grabs Amber hand and holds into her own.
"It's a bad idea Amber. Why go thorough with this when a real man can do the same thing."
"I am not looking to finding a guy to fill my need to have a baby. I would have done that long time ago. This is the best way, next week I will be doing it."
"Erza why don't you support her instead of being so negative."
"I am giving her my support. Being a good friend and telling her the truth."
"Erza, I know you don't approve of me going through with this. I am not asking for your blessing, your option is all I need. What you are saying is true, but no men." The other women frowns at her and softens her face a little.
"As much as we may agree with this. I do want to see you happy. I want you to think about this more."
"I have, a lot. You have know idea of the sleepless nights I have had." All three of the women didn't see Gray approaching them. He was finished getting ready and being in the make up seat only took no time at all.
"Even if Erza doesn't think it's a right choice. You have my full support. I think you having a baby is great."
Gray stops when he heard the word baby. He nears them slowly to listen to them. He wasn't one to ear drop on someones conversation.
"Lucy thanks. I been wanting this for a long time now. I feel this is the right for me. A women doesn't need a man to make her complete or to have a baby. This is what I want. My brothers are not to happy either, but they will stick by me."
"I can't talk you out of this can I."
"No. I filled out the papers. They are right here and ready for me to take them in next week." She pats her briefcase. Gray now understands what she is planing on doing. The papers where not of her having problems in the bedroom with a guy. She wanted to have a baby and sperm donor is what she was going for.
He steps into all three of the women view and he eyes Amber. "I think it's mistake." The women turn to face him. Amber had a shocked look on her face. She didn't want him to find out.
"Erza, Lucy can you leave." Gray looks between the two women.
"Yeah we can head over to Midnight." They both wave and Erza mouths sorry to her. She knew that Amber didn't want him to know or ever find out until she was ready to say anything.
"It's not a mistake Gray."
"It is Amber. Why go through all that when there is millions of guys in the sea." He points to the ocean.
"You don't understand. I don't want to look for a guy. This is what I plan out. I will be looking at information about the donors at the meeting."
"They don't give out the guys name, they are just file numbers. Do you want your child to ask what his dad's name. You say, his name is 15556."
"It's my choice not yours. I am doing it. You may have your say like the rest of my brothers and Erza. At the end of the day, I want baby."
"I know a few guys that are single I can set you up."
"NO!" Her voice was loud and people around them was looking at them.
"Since I have known you haven't been with anyone."
"Again my choice. Now drop this." Gray looks at the crowd that was forming. He looks to see if there is a place that was out of ear shot.
"Come with me." He walks ahead of her and at first she wasn't going to follow. It was not a good time to talk about this.
"Gray, we can do this later."
"I thought about doing that too. Right now is later." He was mad, she has yelled at him in the past. He has let it go, now he wanted some answers. Even if it put a hold on doing the shoot. Midnight was calling out to them to come back. Gray turns his head and yells out to him back to give them a five more.
There was little ice cream hut not to far away on the bench. It was in the area that beach goers couldn't get to it because it was block off. He goes around the hut out of everyone view. He turns when Amber stands beside the hut.
"Tell me, why can't you get involved with someone and have a baby a natural way. You need to use your common sense here."
"I am not telling you as to why. They are waiting for you Gray."
"Tell me!"
"No, I will not." He comes closer to her and she back up to the wall hut."
"Tell me!" She was starting to get scared his voice was getting louder.
Tears start to fall from her eyes. "I was hit!"
"What?"
"If you really want to know. I was hit, abused, used as punching bag for a sick bastard. I almost died at his hands. That is why I can't get involved with anyone." She puts a hand on his chest she pushes him away from her. Starts heading to the parking lot.
He goes after her and he grabs her wrist. "Amber wait."
"Don't touch me get back!" He drops her hand and looks at her.
She touches her wrist. "Don't touch me ask for permission first."
"Amber!"
"Don't touch me!"
"OK I will not." She wipes the tears from her eyes.
"I am going, you can finished on your own. You can get a taxi for the other places today."
"Amber we have talk about this."
"No, leave it alone. Leave me alone." She runs towards her car. Gray puts his hands through his hair.
"Why haven't you said anything before."
