"Cut, great job there Gray. Why don't you take a short break. We have more to do soon."
"I'll look over my next set of lines."
He walks over to a chair that has his name on it. It was Tuesday, he had to be out the door at six this morning. The previous day was long and tiring, it was jammed with all short of things. Did not arrive home until midnight after Amber drop him off then coming to pick him up really early.
"Here Gray, have some water."
"Thanks Sherry you don't have to do this. You have to work on your lines too. Your part is coming up next."
"I don't mind. I believe I have prepared myself well enough. Where is your manger, Amber?"
"She should be around here." Moves around in his chair to see if she is still in the same spot. Amber was at the back wall talking to one of the other female actress he has worked with before.
"There she is talking to Merdy. Do you need her for something?"
"I thought I had to go through her first to ask you out?"
Gray was checking her out earlier and was willing to see if she was up for one night stand. It has been awhile since he had anyone else on the side of when he was dating someone. They both had worked together before but never went out. Maybe now it will be a good time.
"Did you see me observing your body earlier. I must say, what you are wearing, I can easily take it off."
"Gray...shhh"
"A little tease. You don't have to speak to Amber. I can tell her later."
"Good, I was worried that I would have to talk to her. She is really nice."
"Amber is the best. When do you want to go out."
"I haven't even ask you out yet."
"I like to work fast. I should tell you I am seeing someone, it's not a committed relationship. I am very open."
"Really, if your girlfriend is alright with it."
"I told her what I do from the start. We are having fun. Care for some fun too." He gives her his seductive smile and rubs her arm with his hand.
"How can I say no to your smile. Is it true there is a very little date and you jump right into bed."
"Depends how hungry I am for pleasure." Motions for her to come closer to him and he whispers into her ear.
"Oh my Gray. You are a sex driven playboy."
"I am driven alright. Care for the test drive." She smiles at him and whispers back into his ear. He puts a arm around her waist and brings her closer to him.
Merdy finished talking to Amber, the young actress wanted to know if she could get in touch with Erza. Her, Lucy and Erza went out one night and she left her purse at Erza place and didn't remember where she lived. She wrote down Erza address and hands it to her.
"See you around Amber, I'll get in touch with her soon."
"Glad I could help." Amber looks at her watch pretty soon she has to go to her appointment. They were talking about a 2 hour break. Gray could stay here or she can drop him off at her apartment for a rest. Giggling can be heard and she lefts up her head from looking at her watch. What she was witnessing wasn't uncommon, there would be times when he will flirt opening in front of anyone. At lest he wasn't kissing her for all to see.
"Sherry will need a run down. He has to inform Juvia, or I can text Zeref on his behalf." Amber goes over to a nearby chair and puts her briefcase down. Her purse comes off her shoulder and she opens it up. Searching for a energy drink, it was a long day. Something had to help her keep on going to the end.
"I'll call you Gray."
"Let me write down my number for you or where is your phone."
"With my manger, he is not here that I can see. He must of went off somewhere."
"Here I can put your number into my cell instead. I can do Saturday? If something doesn't come up."
"That works, I work in the morning but free for the rest of that day."
"Prefect, I can pick you up after your project?"
"Looking forward to it."
"Dam it! Why can't I ever get these to open." Both of them turn to see Amber trying to wrestle open up a little bottle.
"Is she OK?" Sherry points her finger at his manger."
"Not again, why can't she eat normally, there is food right there. Wait, it's the other thing she is trying to get open."
"What is she having?"
"Those five hours energy drinks."
"Wow, she takes those. Her heart must be racing."
"Racing?"
"They are the worse things for you. I had a male friend that took those religiously. He ended up in the hospital."
"Hmmmm. She takes it regularly though."
"Hope she is careful. Anyways here is my number." Gray keeps looking at Amber, concern that she might be harming herself. Knowing they aren't the greatest things in the world to have.
"Gray? My number."
"Sorry Sherry, yeah give it to me." The number goes into his cell underneath contacts. He sends a text to her phone of his number too.
"When you get your phone back this will appear."
"Awesome, I should let you get back to your lines. See ya on set."
"Let us work hard together." He watches her walk away and grins to himself. This weekend he will be having double fun. First Juvia then the next day Sherry. He has never done two women in bed before. It wasn't his style and he prefers to stick to one women at a time. The script gets put down on his chair. The struggle of Amber trying to open a small bottle was a little comical.
"Grrrr. Open, it shouldn't be hard."
"For you, it always is. Let me take it." Amber sees his shoes at first and looks up into his frame. He was a little close and she backs up.
"I think I got it."
"Really, you are getting mad at the bottle. I can open it up."
"No I am fine with it. I can do it." He thinks back to what Jellal says and what happen with the Ice cream. "Will it work again, I wonder." Thinks to himself.
"May I open it up." She hands it over to him with out any resistance. Again it was so simple, and she didn't even take notice of it. He opens it up and hands it back to her.
"How? I fight with it most times."
"Those ones have a terrible seal to them. Just need more strength is all."
"They are a pain." Gulps the drink in one go. Gray shakes his head and sees her purse open. There was three other ones in there along with the meal substitute drinks.
"I think that will work for now. Not the best taste to these, they do keep me going. I was going to walk over to you and tell you, I am on my way out. Do you want to stay here or rest at my place, you will have two hours."
"What time is it?"
"12:30 I have the appointment."
"Not doing either." Frowns at him. Skeptical of what his plans are while she will be seeing Porlyusica.
"Do you have plans with Sherry already on your break?"
"No, ummm Saturday."
"Okay, What me to talk to her?"
"I'll do that, I'll be careful. We are getting off track here."
"We are?"
"Amber I am coming with you."
"You don't have too."
"Then how am I suppose to get you pregnant if I can't come."
"It's the first meeting I was going to tell her about you. See what needs to be done. You can have a rest."
"Nu uh. I want to be there from the get go." He looks down at her and can tell she is thinking it over.
"Lets see how long this break will be. Do not want you be late coming back."
"I'll go ask and get my back pack."
The break is going to be 2 hours long, they wanted to make sure everything was working properly and actors get their rest and to read their scripts. The waiting room only had them sitting in the chairs. Amber had went to the secretary desk and told her she was here to see Porlyusica. She was told to sit and be patience for a while until she was called in.
The room was all black and white with two big windows looking out a little pond out front. Were they were sitting, the chairs where white the coffee table was black with magazines on top. Gray was wearing a hat and sunglasses. Amber told him to put them on, she didn't want him to be seen and have someone leaking out into the media. Then a huge scandal would come forth and she will also be in the center of attention.
"Miss Fernandes you may go in now." They both get up from their chairs and Amber goes first into the room. Polysuica was sitting behind a desk, she had a other door leading to a other room. They didn't see her come into the waiting room. She could have been in her office this whole time or in the other room. The building had other offices that had other people like her. They wanted to separate each client from one other, it's more private that way.
"Amber nice to finally meet you. We only talked briefly over the phone and by email."
"Nice to you meet you too. I have someone with me today. This is Gray." Takes off his hat and sunglasses and shakes her hand.
"Polysuica, nice to you meet you as well."
"Oh my you are that actor."
"Yes he is. There is a reason behind that. What I have to tell you, must stay in this room. No other person will be told or inform of his participating in this. I can have a contract to prevent breach of conduct."
"At the center here we respect our clients views and what they share with us. No word will ever leave this place."
"I am sure you are right about that, I want to be safe."
"Please sit down, we will start the meeting." She motions them to take the chairs in front of her desk. Amber sits down in one and Gray takes takes the other one. She moves the chair a little over not being so close to him.
"My secretary handed me the papers that you have filled out. You gave a lot of information, that is great help."
"I can never leave anything out."
Polysuica has the papers right in front of her on the desk with a pen in hand to write any additional information. She also, had a computer on her desk up and running. On her walls where medical pictures of sperm and female egg. Behind her, there were books and pictures of her family.
"So Amber, what is the reason for Gray to be here. Is it for emotional support, which we do recommend."
"I know you have sperm donors already available. Would it still work with him and me. He has offer to be mine donor."
"Of course, we help families who have tried for years to get pregnant. They come to us for help, and we have been successful. How long have you two been together and trying."
Amber waves her hands around and was shaking her head. "Amber is my manger only, we aren't together that way. We have known each other for a few years now."
"I understand. Amber wrote down being single and looking for a donor here. Thought your status had change, since you filled this out. I needed to be sure."
"Gray knows that I wanted to go with a sperm donor. He then came to me and offer his assistance. The details regarding to why I will leave out."
"That is fine, sometimes it's easier to go with someone you know. The sperms we have here are all on a index. It could take awhile to go through each one to choose the right candidate. I can tell ya, that people do choose wisely."
"I see. Since I have agreed to have his sperm. What do we do now?"
"Can she get pregnant today?"
"Doesn't work that fast Mr Fullbuster."
"In Amber's words, what do we do now?" He thought maybe, just maybe there was chance this could happen at this moment. It was a waiting game now, one that had him sitting on the edge of his seat.
"I will need you to fill out these paper as well. Then with Amber we will extract some eggs from her and you will produce some sperm."
"That is fine with me, I can do that today. Help to speed things along."
"I repeat not so fast. Both of you have to be at your peek condition."
"What do you mean? Polysuica." Amber folds her hands together into her lap. She was feeling a nervous.
"Well you see Amber, we need to get the best eggs and sperm from both of you. For the next two weeks, there is going to be some changes in your life."
"Such as?" Gray raise his brow at the other women. Wondering what is going to be in store for him.
"For one thing you can't drink any caffeine, or liquor."
"Say that isn't so. My morning coffee is bye bye."
"We need the best results Amber. That is not the only thing."
"What else?"
"Need to eat properly, exercise. Also this is a big one, some people have a hard time that is cut out of their lives for short time." Gray had a feeling to what she is about to say, he was bracing for it.
"Sex, you have to abstain from doing any sort of sexual activity." Amber quickly looks at Gray seeing his face. She wasn't to sure what he was thinking, but she figure he would be upset.
"That is a big. How long did you say?"
"Two weeks."
"Why two weeks?"
"We what to know that your best swimmers will be use with her egg."
"Ummm how many do you use?"
"Good question Amber. With his sperm and your eggs. We try to have at lest five prepared and ready."
"Five? I could have more then one child?"
"Yes there is that possibility of having twins or triplets. I hope I am not freaking you out."
"No, surprise is all that you need that many."
"It gives you the best chance to conceive."
They continue to talk some more with both of them asking their own questions. Polysuica was very knowledgeable and handed out information to them about what they just talked about. She also handed Gray the papers to fill out. She also started chatting about what happens after the sperm and eggs are in her hands.
"The procedure is very simply and it happens on your best day Amber."
"On my ovulation days."
"Yes that is right. With what you have jolt down here, we will be able give you a test kit to determine the right one. When you know, you can tell me and we book you in."
"I have question. When Amber goes in that day how soon will she know that she is pregnant."
"With in a few days. Can tell by a regular pregnancy test or go to your doctor."
"Not to you."
"My job ends when she is planted with her egg and your sperm." The intercom on her desk starts squeaky of her secretary coming through. Letting her know that her next client will arrive soon.
"As you heard, I have to get ready to see my next patient. Can we make appointment in two weeks?"
"Yes, that is fine." Amber looks back at Gray again too see if he is agreement. He turns to look at her and nods his head.
"I am fine with it too."
"Great, this is my card. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me. I will see you both right here in two weeks. Lets see here, would the same time work?"
"Yes, if it changes I will let you know."
"Of course Amber."
They take their information and books that she hands to them. Gray puts on his hat and sunglasses. They both proceed out of her office and building and go to Amber's car. There was still a hour to go before they need to head back to the studio. The car starts up and she heads to her apartment. The silence was unusual for them not to say anything, unless Gray was sleeping. When they make it her place and go into her apartment. She puts her stuff down on her table and Gray stands by her couch.
"Gray..." Amber turns around to look up at him. He was taking off his shoes to lay on her couch. He would have to share the couch with Happy he was laying down right in the middle of it. Enjoying the sun coming through the window until it fades away.
He stops to look at her. "Yes? Is something wrong? You didn't say anything in the car."
"Nor did you. I was thinking, if you don't want to to do this. We can stop right now and I will go with a other donor."
"I agreed to this and willing to do it."
"Well with what she mention about sex. This is my life, and you don't have to have your life put on hold for two weeks. It will be hard for you." Kicks off his shoes and walks over to her.
"Let me worry about that."
"But Gray. You have Juvia and you are talking to Sherry."
"Amber, it was me that came to you, offering you my help. I know it will be hard to abstain from sex. I have gone on breaks from women before, this is no different from that."
"Gray...two weeks."
"I can tell Juvia and Sherry I need to have a break. Can tell them I have to much going on right now and ask them kindly to wait."
"I want you to be sure of this."
"I am and I have explain to you my desire for this is."
"If you are positive."
"Amber what more do you want me to say. I can do this, believe me. I want a part of me in you."
"I have seen you accomplish so much and you have come on top. I have to trust you." He moves closer to her and Amber was watching him. She looks up at his brown eyes and he looks down into her stormy sea ones.
"You can always trust me."
"Promise?"
He smiles down at her showing his dimple. "Promise." His finger lightly bops her on the nose. She giggles and grins back up at him. Then she goes around him to go into her kitchen. Watches her go over to the counter. Then he sees her pull out some coffee from her cupboard and start scooping it into the coffee maker.
"Hey hey what are you doing?"
"Coffee, I need one last coffee."
"Amber it's not the end of world."
"You are in the same boat too. Want one?" He sighs, they got over one problem and here he is with a other one.
"Fine you can have one and me too. There is something you need to do first."
"What is that?" He points down to her purse.
"You need to take out those drinks. Can't have them anymore."
"What? Nooooo."
"Amber you know what she said, best chance." She gives him a sorrowful look not liking the thought of taking those drinks out. While the coffee pot was being filled, she goes over to her purse and removes the little bottles.
"The meal ones should be ok?"
"No, need to eat healthier."
"How? I hardly cook for myself. I buy ready to eat meals." She opens the freezer door and shows him. He knows what she eats or the take out boxes in her house.
"I can cook for you?"
"There is no need for you to go that far. I can buy more of these."
"They may be alright to have, but you should have fresh meals at times."
"I'll work on it later, set something up. I can get organize and plan." Goes over to her fridge and takes a look inside. There was very little inside, a couple of eggs, milk, tomatoes, bread and left over pizza.
"You need food in a big way."
"I'll be fine until Friday when I go grocery shopping then."
"That is in three days. What will you do?" She goes over to a drawer at her counter pulls it open to reveal tons of take out menus.
"My supper for the next few days."
"And breakfast, lunch?"
"Cereal and grab something at 7-11." He didn't want her to eat this way. Cereal had nothing of value and the convenience store had junk food.
"You know I think I will help you anyways with meals. That way I know you are eating well."
"Gray, I am not going to accept your offer."
"Amber you eat breakfast at my place. This is addition to that and you have never turn down my cooking."
"You put it down in front of me, with out me giving any sort of rebuttal."
"What you don't like my cooking?" He puts his hands on his hips. Giving her a changeling look to see what she will do. He sees her smile and nods her head in agreement.
"I eat it, don't I"
"Yes you do." Her cell starts ringing in her purse and goes back over to the table to pull it out.
"Have a cup Gray and relax. It might be the studio calling, letting us know to return soon."
He takes out two cups and pours them both. Working along side her all this time, he knows what she likes in it. The fact he was only a few feet away from her, he can listen in on the phone call.
"Hello Amber Fernandes speaking."
"Amber, it's director Igneel here. I have to let you know not to come back to the studio right now. We checked the equipment and footage from today's filming and we have to redo it all again."
"Oh no, that is terrible. All that work? Can any of the filming be used?"
"No the lighting in each shot and the equipment isn't as good as I hope for. This happens from to time. At lest it is from today's clips and not the whole week."
"True, Igneel. So you want us to come in now and get it started."
"No, tomorrow we can start anew. For now, have Gray keep learning his lines and we will see you and him tomorrow."
"Alright, thanks for calling and letting us know."
"No problem, it is always nice talking to you young lady. You are very lovely and if my grandson wasn't with someone right now. I would be telling him, to seek you out."
"I would have turn him down my work keeps me busy."
"Shame, with your smile and figure. Hell if I was 45 years younger It would be me."
"Igneel, I think you need to buy your wife some flowers today and tell her how much you appreciate her. She is the one that gave birth to your kids, with out those kids no grand kids."
"Right you are! Her birthday is coming up. Maybe I'll surprise her with flowers today and get her other flowers later."
"No not flowers again. Jewelry is a women's best friend or like they say diamonds Igneel."
"I will do as you say. I have known her since we were kids."
"Treasure her Igneel. We will see you tomorrow."
"To you too Amber." The cell gets placed back into her purse.
"Here is your cup." She turns around and Gray puts it down on the table next to her.
"Thank you." Her hands wrap around the cup and she brings up to her lips to take a drink from the hot liquid.
"Mmmm so good. The right amount of cream and sugar."
"See a good cook."
"It's coffee not a full course meal. So no rating. Getting back to the phone call just now. You are off for the rest of the day. Igneel says they can't use any of the footage from today. Got to do it all over again tomorrow."
"Yeah I could hear his voice booming in your ear. Can make anyone go deaf."
"He may be loud, but he is not that bad a of man."
"Did you like him flirting with you?"
"Heard that part?"
"Rogue could probably heard him." Gray didn't like old guys hitting on younger women. It wasn't right on all levels. Especially if that younger girl could be the same age as your own granddaughter.
She shrugs her shoulders and takes a other sip of her coffee. "I don't flirt no more, so there is no gaining from it and I am not losing anything from it either."
"How can you be so blah about it"
"How should I be Gray? Gleeful or weeping. Dan had a huge impact on my life. The end result is...single."
"You can't be single forever. There are plenty of guys out there not like Dan."
"I am not taking the chance. The first couple years of my adult life I was subjective to his merciless beatings. Why should I look for a guy that may be the one for me. And end up with a other horrible experience. Enough talk about this. I don't want to think about that time. When you are finished with your coffee I'll take you home. Have the rest of the day to be with Juvia?" To have her cut off their chat was a little discouraging for him. He wanted to know more and why she would think this way. To be single, not flirting, sex, date, her physical life is put on hold. That wasn't it either, she has squished it, put the final nail in unable to remove it. For now he would allow it be, not wanting to get her upset. There is no rationale for a women being upset over a guy, even when he is a douche bag and deserves whatever comes his way.
"I can spend the rest of the day with her. Though there is something else I could do instead."
"What Sherry?"
"Heavenly idea to be with her or Juvia. There is now restrictions in place which I need to follow. I will be telling them tonight. I have other plans thinking of doing instead."
"You don't have to refrain right at this moment from sex. Have one more day off doing whatever you do. Start tomorrow, like the coffee." She was smirking at him with a little sparkle in her eye.
"What are you planing?"
"Me nothing." Her hand goes onto her chest. Trying not to look guilty.
"I am almost done with my cup, time go?"
"We can but I want to know your intentions after you drop me off."
"Coming back here and resting. Not going to question you of your plans." He was suspicious of what she is going to do. She is having a last coffee and telling him to go and have his fingers into the air.
"You are going to have a junk food night aren't ya."
"What!?...nooooo" The guilty look tells him that is exactly what she is up to.
"A long pause there, Amber." Rolls her eyes at him and waves him off.
"Amber?"
"Well we are having coffee thought of other things I can have before we need to starts. It's a last cheat day before you go on a diet."
"Good thing my plans have included you in them." She pushes her brows together giving him a odd look.
"Later you can drop me off. We are going grocery shopping, why wait until Friday." Her expression change to shock.
"No no no. I can shop for my own food."
"We are in this together for the next two weeks. Me not doing what I would like to do and you not enjoying your ice cream, popcorn, pizza, Chinese food."
"Yeah we are in this together, why shop together?."
"We aren't doing anything else today. Can I change here? You change your attire, don't need to be in your business work clothes. Time to relax."
"Gray, no."
"A obstinate women you are."
"That is right I am." This was going to be more harder then he think it will be. Going head to head with her will not work. Her demure says otherwise with him coming along with her to shop. If he must, he will ask for permission.
"Amber...?" Her cup goes into the dishwasher.
"Change your mind on me taking you home."
"May I tag along with you...please. I also need to pick up a few things. I don't want to go back home and come all the way into the town again, then back."
"Hmmmm I can see how easier that will be for you."
"Yes easier, way easier."
"You know where the towels are. I will go to my bedroom." Simple wasn't the right word to use for her agreeing so quickly. He was also thinking that she might have to be careful. Who knows what she would say yes too.
"I will not be long." He takes his bag and heads into her bathroom not before grabbing some towels. Going out in public was going to be hard, but he has manage with Amber being beside him. When they have taken breaks at her place he would often use her bathroom or even sleep on her bed. It all depends how much time he had between filming for other jobs.
The water felt great on his skin. Waking up so early to come into work he didn't get a chance to hop into his own shower at home. He reaches for the shampoo in the holder that is being hanged by the shower head. Amber had bought some of his stuff and it's kept here for him to use. What is the point of bringing a whole bag filled of bathroom accessories. He only needs his clothes and Amber was kind of enough to do this for him. Washes his hair and uses a cloth and body wash to clean his body. He lingers underneath the shower head for a few more minutes. When he comes out he dries himself off and gets dressed. He could have used her blow dryer, but the weather will take care of that.
"Amber I am finished we can go whenever." The bathroom door closes and he walks down the small hallway.
"I am typing a email, be done momentarily." He has never seen her outside of her business suit, besides coming here on Sunday night and seeing her in pj's and a robe on her. She was in a t-shirt and blue jeans and her hair was down but in a braid. His eyes roam over her taking in her slim figure. Everything was hidden behind that outfit. It shown she had curves but nothing like what he is seeing.
"Cinderella has emerged."
"Cinderella?"
"Yeah, you have done a 180. From business to casual."
"You have seen me like this before?" She pushes the enter button and the email is send off. The laptop gets shuts off and it stays on her table for later. The chair gets pushed back and she gets up. Then her purse is taken off her table and puts it on her shoulder.
"Nope I have never seen you in casual clothes." He moves his hand up and down show what he means.
"That can't be right."
"Amber even during the Christmas dinner at my parents place, work or your brothers. It has been nothing but suits. No regular pants or dresses."
"Really, Maybe it was when I have been with Lyon. I hate dresses."
"You go out with my brother?"
"I don't go out with him, no date or anything. We will have coffee from time to time or he will be at my brothers places. Shall we go?"
"Yeah we can. After you." Being cut off again from anything personal in her life. It was starting to bug him. Her front door opens up and she heads out into the hallway. He waits for her to lock her door and she goes ahead of him. He watches her walk and her hips swayed from side to side. He had to shake his mind clear. Did he just checked out his manger. His eyes travel to her and sure enough he did it again. Blamed it on what she is wearing and seeing it for the first time. As they get outside he was able to go ahead of her over to her car.
"This is non working hours. Do you mind if I sit up front? Will the distance be a problem."
"If I can see where your hands are at. I am okay." She opens the car door and sit down. He does the same. They both buckle in at the same time and they bump heads. Sees her reaction and was about to move in the back seat.
"Sorry Gray. So use to having you back there."
"It's my fault. I can seat there."
"No, it's fine like I said about your hands."
"Does Lyon do this too?" Turns on the car and pulls out of the parking spot.
"He picks me up and drives me. His hands are right here on the steering wheel."
"Then shouldn't I drive if it's more comfortable for you?"
"You drive my normal looking car. It's not high end car like yours." Looks to her left to make sure no cars are coming and turns right to head to a Safeway.
"I do have a normal car in my garage that I have used."
"Rarely, the battery is probably dead."
"I check it."
"When it's dead."
"Cut that out." Smirks at him and continues to drive to the store. They talked mostly about work and how he wasn't happy of doing the re shoots but they had to be done. It was hot day out and the parking lot didn't have as many people.
"That didn't take forever like it sometimes does. We found a spot right next to the door."
Both get out of the car and Amber grabs a cart. Gray was wearing his sunglasses, but no hat this time. Approaches the cart and puts his hand on the handle. Amber backs up on impulse and he takes over pushing it. This way she can grab the food and put into the cart. "You lead the way Amber." She looks at him and thinks back to what happen a moment ago.
"Amber why are you look at me that way."
"Did you do that on purpose so you could take over the cart."
"Bummer I got caught."
"Why...I need to trust you."
"You can. This is the only time I did it. See hands here, not everywhere like this." Waves his hands around looking like a clown.
Tries not to laugh at his antics, wanting to be mad at him instead. There was no way she could. He was trying to respect her distance and not have her freak out on him.
"Ok Ok. Go in you." Gives her a wink and heads inside. They start with the first aisle looking at everything on the shelf. Starts putting cans and packages of food into the cart. This might be something he has to do even when she pregnant. Make sure she will be eating right. Aisle after Aisle all was going well until they came to the chips and chocolates.
"Lets go down here?"
"No, not this way Amber."
"Chips is fine and chocolates.
"To much salt and sugar, no." Takes the cart away from the aisle and she had to follow him. Went over to the produce for fruits and veggies.
"Pick what you like." Checks out the fruits first and got some apples, grapes and watermelon. The veggies where harder to choose from. Wasn't a big fan for potatoes or carrots. Did reach for a bag of corn and was putting it into the cart when someone came up to them. This was going to be it, someone had notice who Gray was under those sunglasses. Her hands where on the celery when it was her name being called.
"Amber, is that you?" Her hands drop the celery on to the floor and she slowly turns around. Gray was watching her, seeing her expression change so fast.
"It is you!"
"Mary...Mrs. Straight?" Her heart beat quickens and she wanted to run away. This was a scenario she didn't want to be in. Knowing who their son was. All these years of not seeing them and hoping not in passing like this and unable to move.
