She open up her eyes and looked at the alarm clock on her nightstand table, 7:30 am. The sunlight was coming in from the only window in her room and the blinds were not closed. "It's to early to wake up." "Why don't you go back to sleep." Her eyes get big and wide and she sits up in bed. To her horror she sees Gray beside her. "Why are you in my bed?" "It was too late to go home and I didn't want to sleep on the couch." "Get out and go home." He was expecting a reaction and he sure got one. There was no way he was going to back down to her. He remains were he is laying on the bed with one hand propping up his head.
Her legs swing to the side of the bed, she was still in her dress. "If you get out of the room I can get changed you know." "Then get change you don't need to be shy around me." "Gray!" She growls his name. Giving him a venomous look. "Or are you chicken to get dress in front of me." She points to the door. "Out now!" "Shhhh don't want to wake her up do you, she needs all the rest she can get." Her head was about explode and hoping it will shatter across him. She stands up and turns to see him move over a little. Then she points her finger at him. "Look here wise guy I am not about to get dress in front of you when we are no longer together. Now go!" He smirks up at her and grabs her wrist and pulls her down on top of him. He wraps a arm around her to prevent her from getting away. "So, if we are back together you will get undress." "No, let me go." His hands move to the top of her dress with his fingers he pulls down the zipper. "What do you think you are doing?" "Helping." "Stop it." Then his hands feels the clip of her bra. "Don't you dare." He smiles. "Oh I dare." She starts squirming on top of him trying to get free but he holds her close. His head moves to her ear. "If you keep doing that. You are going to start feeling something hard down below." She stops her movement and looks at him. "Gray!" She could very well tell that she woke up his lower half. He unclasp her bra while staring at her ocean eyes.
Gray wanted to know how far he could push her. Seeing this side of her was getting him very aroused. He rolls her onto her back and he is now looking down at her. He pulls one side of her dress down. "You are seriously asking for it." "Try it, I have taught you." Her hand shots out to attack him but he grabs it and puts it above her head. "I know all the moves my dear." "I am not your dear." "You will be again." They stare at each other and he continues to remove her dress. Once it comes off he lays it on the floor. He looks down at her body. "Now for the bra." "Gray, if you do not stop you are going to be hurting here really soon." "You didn't succeed the first time, you think that a second chance you can." He was testing her patience and knows how close she is to losing it. The strap of her bra comes off the right and he goes to take it off the other side. "Don't" He slowly brings it down her arm. "Why resist?" It comes off and she covers up her breasts with her arm on them. I plan was forming in her mind. "I choose to." "I do believe I can change your mind." He lowers his head closer to hers and brush his lips on hers. "I can make you melt with my caresses." Her heart was beating super fast and the thumping was echoing in her ears. "Years ago you did." "Lets see to it about it now." With out taking her arm that was covering herself. His hand touches her stomach and he moves it up to the underside of her breast. She sucks in her breath. "Gray..." She licks her lips. "Yes." His hands explore her body and she can feel her mind go weak, but not to the point of caving in. Her head lifts up from the pillow and her tongue licks his lips. "It's working?" "Why don't you find out?" He lowers his head and they start to kiss. Amber uncovers herself and his hands touches her breast. Feeling the hard nipples underneath his palms. One of her hands goes to the back of his head to bring him closer to her. He takes his leg and straddles it on the other side of hers. She wanted him on top of her so she could follow through with what she was about to do and do it before the kiss gets out of hand. He breaks the kiss and looks down at her. "Want more?" She smiles seductively.
He knew she was up to something and he was going to play along. There was no way she could fall so easy and he knows her pretty well. He kisses her some more and tries to stay focus for what might happen. She breaks the kiss this time and looks at his lips. Her plan might not work if he keeps kissing her like this, she must do it now. He was lowering his head again to clam her swollen lips. Amber was about to knee him good at his man hood when Emmy starts crying. "Dam it. So close." He gives her a look at what she said and sees that her leg had come up and it was very close to his groan. "You where going to sock me one." "Failed. Now get off me." He rolls off her so she could get up. A robe gets place onto her quickly. "Good thing she woke up or I would not be able to walk." "I have to attend to her." She leaves the room to go down the hallway to see to Emmy. He looks up at the ceiling. "Didn't think she could have pull that off. At lest we made out for a bit. I guess victory goes to me?"
Emmy gets pick up from her crib. "Good morning. How are you?" She feels her forehead. "Still warm. A bottle and your medication will help. But first a change." She didn't want to put anything on that will make her feel cold. It was the middle of summer, but with her being sick. Being comfortable is the way to go. A light onise gets put on her after the diaper was changed. The box she gets them from was getting low. "We might have to go to the store today." Emmy looks up at her mom and gives her a smile. "Awww Emmy you smiled for a the first time." A tear falls from her eye and she wipes it away. "Angel should be seeing this." She picks her up and starts carrying her down the hallway. Her room no longer had Gray on the bed or his clothes that were on the chair. "Can I hope he left" She walks down the stairs to head for the kitchen. When she enters there he was warming up a bottle. "Really, Why are you still here?" "You didn't tell me to go." "Uh yeah did." "I pretend to not hear it." He comes over to the both of them. "I'll take and feed her. You do what you need too." "Gray, no I can do this and do you not have work?" "Lucky for you it is my day off. He takes Emmy from her arms. "Gray..." He touches her cheek. "I got this." She turns around and runs back to her room and slams the door behind her. "There is no need for you to say that, not with her in your arms." She takes a tissue from the top of her dresser and blows her nose and wipes her eyes with a other one. "He can't get attach to her or I'll get attach to him."
The mirror was right in front of her, she looks at herself. With a determine expression she vows. "I will not give in to him. He can come on as strong as he wants. But I swear I will be the winner in the end." She touches her fingers to her lips and looking at the bed that only moment ago they were kissing. "Why did a go along with that." She shakes her head trying to get the image out of her head of seeing his chest and being pin down by his body and hand on her wrist. Feeling his hands all over her body and made her crave for more. She stomps her feet. "No, no crave. This will not come to be." She goes around her room getting her clothes together for the day. "When I come back down there he will be kicked out the door." Her hair gets comb and she leaves it down. Then she brushes her teeth and does everything else in the bathroom. She felt like she was planing for war.
He was sitting on the couch rubbing Emmy's back. She just finished drinking her bottle. "Good girl, drinking all that. I will give you your medication. Where did your diaper bag go?" He looks around the living room. "Did I not bring it from last night? It must be in the car." With Emmy in his arm he takes her outside and walks out to the car. Sure enough it was still in the backseat. He reaches in and grabs it and takes it back into the house. Amber was coming back down. "Are you leaving?" "You will not be getting rid of me not yet. I am looking for her medication. She finished off her bottle." "That is good. Her medication isn't in the bag. I put into my purse." She looks around the entrance. "Ok, where did it go?" He points with his thumb. "The car?" "How did I get into the house. I don't remember walking in." "I got her in then carried you." "I will go out and get my purse I put it next to the diaper bag." He frowns. "I went and brought it in." He holds up the bag. " I didnt see your purse." "Oh no was the car unlocked?" When he went out to the car he didn't use the keys. The back door was unlocked. "Yes it was." Amber runs outside to inspect the car and it was ransacked. The front seats had all of her music cds scattered and the mp3 player was taken out. "Shit." She comes inside the house. "It's gone, my purse, her medicine, my debit and credit cards and my cell phone. They also took the stereo. I have no cash on me. How am I going to pay for the medication and get more diapers" "First things first calm down. Second we use my money." He pulls out his wallet. "Third call up the bank get your cards cancelled and get them replaced."
She paces the living room talking to the bank about her stolen cards. They told her that everything will be replaced and if there is any interactions made that she will not have to worry about it. If they go to use the card again, they will get caught. "Thanks so much, glad to know they are all cancel and I can get new ones. How long does it take?" "You can come down to the bank to issue a new debit card, but the credit cards will come through the mail." I see, will you have been a big help." "No problem have a good day." "Bye." She puts the phone back onto the receiver. Gray had placed Emmy into her bassinet and was watching Amber almost pulling out her hair. "Did it get worked out?" "Yes, a load has been lifted off my shoulders. I can head down to the bank to get new debit card made up. I don't need to use yours." "Its partly my fault for not locking the car up." "If the car was locked and those things were still inside, they could smashed the window and glass would be every where." "True, but let me still pay for anything you need now." "No, Gray." "Amber you can get your card. I want to make it up to you. You had no problem spending my money before." "Gray, like I keep saying over and over again. It was a different time, all in the past." He walks over to her. "It's the past I am trying to get back." She looks up at him, then turns around she didn't want to be capture by his steady stare of his blue eyes. His arms wrap around her waist and pulls her closer to him. "Take my generosity and use my card. Get what you need for Emmy and a new cell for yourself." She lays her head on his chest. Not realizing she did it subconsciously. "There is no point in me saying no?" "Not really." "Fine, I'll take up on your offer. I'll get Emmy ready and we can go." "I changed her while you were on the phone and I even restocked her bag." "You did all that?" "What are you implying." "Nothing..." "What?" "Remembering how you did it for Luke too." He puts his head on her shoulder. "Stuff like that will resurfaced for me too." She pats his arm. "Lets go or nothing will get done today." He wanted to talk about his son. Wasn't to sure If he should bring it up. There was his bedroom to, he wanted to go up and see it. Getting her money straighten out and stuff for the baby was more important. He could always bring it up at other time.
Gray was still holding onto the keys and he put Emmy into her car seat and picked her up to go. "It's my car, I can drive it now." She holds out her hand for her keys. "You might drive off and leave me behind." "I am not that sort of women that would do that." "I know what kind of women you really are?" "What am I?" She felt like gloating him into saying something. He comes up to her ear. "Smart, sexy, incredible in bed and I amazing kisser." Her cheeks went beat red and she turns her head away from him. "We should go." He saw her face go a shade of tomatoes. "Ok I'll drive." Amber looks at him before he heads out the door. "Well I ever get my car back?" "When I want to go home." They all get into the car and Gray buckles in Emmy. He rubs her cheek with his finger. "Enjoy the car ride." She smiles up at him and it melts his heart. He hasn't known her for very long, but she has him wrap around her finger. "Your mommy will not be pleased." "Please with what?" "That we need to get diapers before you run out." "Did she go again." "Nope, thinking out loud." He gets into the driver seat. "Where to first." "The mention of diapers would be a good start." "Diapers it is."
He drives to the same place they went to, to pick up things for Luke. It was a store that had everything for baby wants and needs. "Gray, I would normally go to Walmart to pick up there." "Yeah you could, but you haven't been in here for a long time. Thought you could browse and do some shopping." She frowns. It was the store they used to use when they were together, but to come here now. It made her feel out of her element. It has been so long ago. They get out of the car and Gray grabs a near by cart and places Emmy in it. He goes around and stands beside her. "Why the hesitation? Come on." He takes her hand and pulls her along. When she gets inside, it was just as she remembers. Everything was top notch, and if you ask for the little tiniest thing. They would have it. "Gray I am not to sure." He looks at her and squeeze her hand. "Think of this is as a early birthday gift." "Birthday?" "Did you forget yours is coming up in two weeks. Now most of these items are for babies. There is some cute baby girl outfits I believe you would want to put her in." He was being nice and charming. When you combined that with his looks and smile. It was hard to say no. "This is your way of winning me back." "Is it working?" She takes the cart and pushes it forward not saying a thing to answer him back with and heads for the baby girl section. He shakes his head at her and smiles.
She holds up different outfits in her hands from onises to dresses and shirts and pants. Emmy was only 3 months old and if she got clothes that fit her now it will only be for a short time to go shopping all over again. "There is so many to choose from?" Gray had grabbed three boxes of diapers in put it below the cart. "Get them all." "What? I couldn't possibly do that." "Amber she is going to be growing out of the 3 months clothes here soon enough. Start getting the next size up." She gives him a look. "Do I have something on my face?" He rubs his chin on his sleeve. "I was thinking along the same lines." "Great minds do think a like. That goes to show how well we get along." They stare at each for a moment before the sales person comes up to them. "Good day. Is there anything I can help you with?" "Yes we will take this whole rack of clothes." "No, will not Gray, there has to be at lest 50 outfits here." "So?" "She wouldn't wear half of them before getting the other size up." He points his finger into the air. "Then I say, get half and half other size up." "You are crazy." "I think it's a brilliant idea." "It's still 25 outfits for each size." "Yeah. Pick out 25 in the six months and I'll pick out the 12 months outfits." She puts a hand to her forehead and looks at the sales person. "Have you ever seen this happen before?" "No I can't madam, it goes show he loves his little girl." There was not point in telling the clerk that Emmy wasn't his. "25 outfits in day clothes is a little bit much." "Miss, why not split it up again. We have night time clothes over here." "Oh boy." Amber was starting to feel overwhelmed by this whole experience. She starts biting her finger nails. Gray comes over to her and takes her hand away from biting down to the nail bed. "You don't want to ruin your nails. Why don't you look at something else. Me and the sales person can pick out the outfits. Be a surprise when you take one out to put on her." "Gray, you don't have to so this." "I want too." He lifts up her hand and kisses the fingers she was biting on. "Is there anything you still need to get her that you don't have?" She thinks for a minute. "There is two things, but she doesn't need one of them yet." "What are they?" "A stroller and highchair. I gave away the highchair to a friend of my mine and a wheel of the stroller came off last week while going for a walk with her and I didn't get it fixed." "Where are the things she mention." The sales lady waves her hand in the direction she could go to. "Right over there. We try to keep them in the same area as the car seats." Gray turns back to her, still holding her hand. "Then you check those out?" "Gray, this is to much." "From what we know having Luke it can never be enough." He turns her around and gives a slight nudge. "I need to take Emmy." "I'll look after her." "Gray, I am her mother." "Mothers need breaks."
It was impossible trying to reason with him. Gray was more impractical years ago. Yeah they had the money to buy what they wanted, but they still used common sense. Now the way he is acting and putting on the pressure, it made her want to scream. At the same time, he was still who he is. Always thinking about her needs and wanted to see her happy. She was able to pick out a the highchair pretty easy. The stroller was a other matter, there were so many to choose from style to colour, it was hard pick. "Hmmm this one has lots of compartments, but this one gives her better shade in the sun with the visor. What one would be better?" She puts a finger to her chin and thinks on what she should do. "I like this one." Her head turns to his voice. Right in front of him was light blue stroller that had a visor, compartments and Emmy was sitting inside of it. "Where did this one come from. I thought I checked each one." She kneels in front the stroller. "I over heard you talking to yourself a few minutes ago about these two. I thought I would ask if they had others in the back. This one came in a other day." Amber looks it over and it was exactly what she was looking for. "It's prefect." Then she goes over to Gray and gives him a kiss on the lips. She realize what she did and backs away from him. "I am sorry." He grabs her by the waist and pulls her closer to him. "Don't be. You acted on your own." "That will never happen again." "Never say never." "Gray others are looking this way." "The only person that you want looking at you is me." She pushes on his chest and backs away from him. Her heart was beating out of control. This morning when she talked to herself saying she will not give in and she almost did.
With Emmy in the stroller she looks around them and wonder where the cart went too. "Where are the clothes?" "Bagged and put into the car already along with diapers. I believe you need a bigger car." "I love my car, it suits my needs well." "I have always wanted you to trade up." "My answer to that has always been a no." "Amber you have a growing family here. You need to rethink size of the car." "Growing family. Its me and her and no one else." Gray was inches from her and he moves in closer to her. "I will be a part of that family." He puts a hand on her stomach. "I bring what we need to grow it." She whispers. "Don't talk about me getting pregnant. I said no." "She needs siblings, a brother, sister or two at the same time. Can always try for twins." "Gray stop it." "I want you to desire the thought of me being apart of your life again. Making every wish come true." She looks into his eyes and she starts to cry. "You didn't make everything come true the first time." Her hands goes on the stroller and she starts walking away he grabs on to her arm. "What do you mean?" "Never mind...I want to go. Still have to get my card, medication and a phone." "Amber!" "I am not going to talk about this in the store. I will demand my keys over and I will leave...you...here." He lets go of her. "Fine we will put that on the back burner as well. I'll go pay for the stroller and the highchair. Take Emmy to the car. I'll be quick."
She stands at her car with the stroller and sees how less room she has in her car from all the bags of clothes and boxes of diapers. "There will be no room for the highchair or stroller. Let alone placing her in the back seat with all those bags. I think he went a little over board." "I have a plan that will fix this." He comes walking up to her with the highchair boxed up. Her hands are on her hips and she points to her car. "What can of plan? We can't all fit in the car now." He dangles her keys in front of her. She tries to snatch them away from him but his reflexes are better then hers. "No, can't have these back, not yet. My plan is to take all this back to your house and unload it all. I'll come back for you and her." "What am I suppose to do in the mean time. Twiddle my thumbs while standing here?" "You want a cell phone right?" "Of course." "Look around you, there is a store right over there that you go into and see what they have." Her eyes scan the area and she notices kodo store. "Sure, I can go in there." "Perfect. You take her, I'll leave with these and come back and pick you up." He hands her his MasterCard. "Get what you want." "Gray..." He put his hand on her cheek and she stops talking. "No more grumbling about this." She frowns at him. "This is so not like you." "I know it isn't, but hoping my charm and showing you how you should be treated like princess. Well kick start something in you." "Gray money wasn't what I was after when I first met you. It never was, it was who you are in the inside that I had me..." "Had you what?" He rubs his thumb on her cheek. "Fall in love with you." He steps closer to her. "I want you to fall in love with me all over again." She removes his hand away from her face. "You better go. It's starting to get hot out. By the time you get back, I will need to feed her." Gray walks around the car to the diver side. "I'll try to hurry."
He takes everything into the house and chugs it up to Emmy's room. The little girl had a big closet to hold some of her clothes and the rest went into the drawers. Gray knew how she would set up the drawers it wasn't a problem trying to figure out what goes where. There were a few other items that he got that he didn't tell his ex wife of. Toys, was place around the room and a few stuffies in her crib. With how jam packed the car was, he wanted her to stay behind so he could put everything a way. Plus he didn't want to hear her say, take it all back. The new highchair went into the kitchen, it found a new home at the table. When that was done he locked up and headed back out. This time, it wasn't to go pick them up, not yet. He wanted to run home quickly to change and change transportation vehicles. The raven gave himself 20 mins to freshen up. His face needed a quick shave, she didn't like stubble on him and to wear one of her favourite shirts she liked seeing him in. It brought out the colour of his eyes.
Gray hopped into the shower and washed himself and shave while the water was still warm. His thoughts would drift to Amber and how many times they shower together. It put a smile on is face. Remembering the past was sometimes hard, but they did have some great times together. When he got out, a towel was around his waist and he got the shirt and was picking out a pair of jeans. He wanted the right look or fit he was going after. He wanted to see her eyes on him, check him out. Getting him to feel sensation running down his body. Make her want him, as he wants her. Yes he told her that he was going to come on strong and he wasn't going hold back, but he wanted her to start having feeling for him. If showing off his good looks was a hint, she better take it.
"Brother are you home." He didn't want to see Lyon right now. "I am up here, but coming down. What is it that you want?" "Who's car is that park next to yours." He took the stairs two at time coming down. "Amber's" "Is she here?" "No, she is picking out a new phone." "Why do you have her car?" "I can't explain it to you right now. Have to go and get her and Emmy." "Are you going to bring her here?" "She would need her car to get back home anyways. I am taking mine to pick them up." Lyon looks him over. "What are you planning dressing up like that." "That she will take notice." "If she doesn't other women will." "I don't want any other women. It's her Lyon." "Brother you had her and you let her go." "I know I did. I'll do anything to get her back." "Don't blow it this time because I doubt very much she would even consider taking you back." "I told her I am coming on strong. She as been warned." He sits down on the couch and puts his shoes back on his feet. "What are you going to do differently?" "I almost bought out a whole store of baby stuff today." "You did what?" "It's a long story. Amber needed diapers for Emmy and a casually took her to Baby Panda."
Lyon sits down on the near by chair. "Tell me the story now." "I am in hurry. I took what I buy her to her house then made my way here to freshen up from last night." Lyon gives his brother a odd look. "You didn't come home?" "No, that will be explain at a later date." He stands up from the couch. "I am off" "Wait you said you are planing on bringing her back here?" "Yeah, Why?" He smirks. "Have her and the baby come for supper." "Hell no." "Why not?" "I am trying to start over with her and if I bring her home. It would be like showing her off to the family again." "She knows us. Plus I don't think it would be a big deal. When you drop the bomb shell on her about the divorce she still loved me and Juiva. You know how she can't say no to mother." "I'll see how the rest of the day goes. If I need extra help, I'll bring her over to the main house." "Sounds good, best of luck to you brother." "I don't need luck, never had to use with her the first time." "If it goes sour, you might." "It will not end up that way." He pats Gray on the back. "I hope for your sake it doesn't." The both walk outside and Gray locks his front door. "I'll see you later, little brother. I am going to head over to the main house. Juvia wanted to go swimming in the pool on a hot day like today." "Have fun, Lyon." Gray gets into his suv and drives off. Lyon watches him go. "He better not screw this up." He turns around and starts walking back to the main house.
Emmy was fast asleep in the stroller after having her bottle. Amber was able to find the perfect cell phone. She already punches in some of the phone numbers of her friends by heart and sends them a text saying who she was. Then, while still waiting for Gray's return, Amber phone up the hospital to talk to Sting. When she heard that he only worked a half a day. She started dialing his number. "Hello?" "Sting, it's Amber." He looks down at his cell phone. "This isn't' your number." "I had to replace my cell phone. I was going to send you a text about it but I had to speak to you anyways." "Shoot, what is a pretty girl like yourself need help with." "To make a long story short. My purse got stolen with Emmy's medication, I need you to prescribe me some more." "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" "I am fine. They stole the purse from my car while I was sleeping last night." "I am glad you are unharmed." "Thanks, but can you do what I ask." "Sure, can write one up now. I have my note pad with me. Going over to the clinic for the rest of the day." "That is why you only took a half day at the hospital. I forgot that today was Thursday." "Gives me a break from the hospital and the children ward. Jason been asking about you today." "How is he?" "A trouper. Rouge will be starting to go over the files here soon." "I met him." "How did the supper go?" "I told him what a thought." "Amber he is a respected man of his field." "Whatever, I have no time to talk about his ego." "Didn't know he had one." "He does. I can see right through him." Sting sighs. "He is not like the one you had for Luke." "Do not speak of him." "It's been a few years now. I think it's time to talk about it." "No, I will not discuss what I had to go through." "You are my friend and I care for you. Do not keep bottling it up." She puts a hand to her chest. She feels a little panic attack starting. "Can I get your note." "Where are you?" "Outside of Kodo store on 5th on a bench." "I am a block away from you. See you two minutes." "Ok, will keep my eyes open for your car."
With the roof top of his car down he pulls into the parking stop in front of where Amber was sitting. "Hello beautiful." "Enjoying your ride Sting." "This car is like my own baby. I have to make sure to keep it in good condition." It was a small sports car. She wasn't to sure how he could even fit into it, with how tall he was and body frame. The dimensions boggle the mind. He opens up the car door and steps out. He bends over into the back seat to grab his bag. From there he pulled out his doctors note pad and pen. He starts writing on it. "How is the small fry doing?" "She is eating again, but still warm." He rips off the paper and hands it to her. She folds it up and puts it into her jeans pocket. Sting looks into the stroller and feels Emmy's head. "Hmmm you are right. Like I said it's only a bug, it will be gone in no time." "She hasn't had the medication yet, was hoping to give it to her this morning but then finding the purse was gone." Sting sits down beside her on the bench. "What to tell me about it?" "When we left last night. I fell a sleep in the car. Gray took us inside my house. Where he decided to sleep in bed with me. I didn't know he was there until morning. I woke up first before Emmy, there he was. He went to get the medication, not knowing that I didn't put into the diaper bag and was in my purse. Gray goes out to the car to get the bag, comes back in. I was looking for my purse. Couldn't find it, and he told me that it could be in the car. My purse was beside the bag. He said it wasn't there. I ask if the car was left open, it was. I check it out and found out my car was ransacked and stuff gone." "That sucks."
He looks around her and the parking lot. "Where is your car?" "He has it. Like I said, will not go home. He brought me over to Baby Panda." She points to the store. "He left you here?" "No, there wasn't any room in the car for me and her. He went back to my place to drop off everything." "Wow, he sure is making a impression." Sting moves closer to her and takes her hand. "What do you think of all of it?" "I had a conversation with myself and front of my mirror and explain to myself not to cave in." "Ugh, so it's starting to work?" "Not a chance will I fall for his blue eyes, raven hair, physique and body." "Those two words mean the same thing." "Whatever, I am going to stand my ground." He starts laughing. "Is this amusing to you." "I remember the beginning. You were a ball of nerves for the first three months." "It was my first real relationship after college." "It was your first real love." He squeeze her hand. "Then he ask you to marry him, got married and had wonderful son." "Then the rest went down hill from there." She makes a bombing sound and with her hand tries to recreate a explosion. "Took you awhile to be yourself." "If I didn't have you guys at work, and my brothers I would probably be in the same state." He lifts up her hand and kisses it. "We are all glad when you came back." "It was very hard time, Sting." "I know, you cried on my shoulder a few times." She pats his hand. "Now I am stronger, it's best not to repeat the past." "Some of the best things happens in our past whither it has been bad or good. Gray lite up your life and he made you happy. Don't let the bad memories destroy your good ones." "Sting?" "I can't believe I am saying all this. I am in the running to catch your heart too." "Sting..." She touches his cheek. "You never asked?" He looks at her. "What?" "You never approach me for a date, never talk about it." "I guess I am fool." "No, you aren't. There is no way I am going to be falling for him." He stands up from the bench and takes out his keys from his pocket. "We will see what transpires, pretty lady. I got go." He bends and kisses her cheek. "Come by soon to see Jason." "Certainly." She waves bye to him as he hops into his car and backs up. He waves high into the air as he heads for the exit.
Checking her watch for the forth time. "Where is he?" She keeps a eye out for her car. "Hope nothing has gone wrong? It's been more then half hour so far." Amber looks down into the stroller and Emmy was still sleeping. "Your medication is coming my little one." A car door slams and she turns her head from hearing the noise. She looks up and then looks back down in the stroller then her head whips back up again. There coming towards her was a clean shaven, good looking raven she knows. Gray saw her doing the double take. "Sorry I am late. I wanted to get out of last nights clothes." Her eyes roam over his body and outfit. He was wearing one of the shirts she had favour him in. Her heart skipped a beat. Amber tried to form words but nothing was coming out. "Cat caught your tongue." He smiles at he comes over to sit next to her where Sting was before. "My tongue is perfectly fine. I was wondering where you were." "I am here now. Did you pick out a cell." "It's right here." She holds it up for him to see. "Can I take a look at it." She hands it over to him and her eyes get distracted looking at him. "It's one of the new ones. You do not mind?" "I told you to use my card." She continues to check him out not looking to see that Gray was doing something to her phone. "Here you can have back." She blinks a few times. "What can I have?" He grins. "Your cell." "Yes yes of course." She was mentally punishing herself for looking at him. He stands up and goes to take the stroller. "Next stop pharmacy?" "Yeah, I was able to get a hold of Sting. He swing by before going to the clinic to write me a new prescription." "He was here?" "About 15 minutes ago." He wasn't expecting someone she knows to pop up and maybe he didn't try to make move on her. "I have the paper in my pocket. We can go to the pharmacy at Safeway to get it filled up." "On to the mall." He walks the stroller to the back door of his suv. Again she checks him out as he walking. "Dang what is wrong me?" She shakes her head. Amber sees Gray putting Emmy into her car seat and her was no longer with him."Why is this vehicle here and where is mine?" "I traded it up for you. This is your new one." "What! Gray! You take this back and return my car to me now." Her look was deadly serious. "Whoa, take easy. I am only teasing with you. It's mine, I have had it for a few years." She takes a once over look at the suv and can tell it's a older model. "Get in." Reluctantly she climbs into his car and wasn't to sure what he had up his selves by driving her around in this.
The mall was over crowed with residents of Magnolia from every walk of life. Amber was pushing Emmy in her stroller and going over to Safeway to finally get her what she needs. Gray was walking beside her. She didn't want to acknowledge that the girls that where eyeing him was making her slightly jealous, but only slightly. Anymore then that and she would have to admit that he was getting underneath her skin. He too had caught the looks of others and of her as well. He didn't care for the stares, he wanted her to open her eyes and see what she has been missing. "Gray, you don't have to come with me to get the medication. I can handle that on my own. You could always wait in your car?" "I'm fine where I am. Is there anything you need in here?" "No, I can use my own debit card. Right now, I want to get this, get her to take it and be on my way home. It's getting very hot, I want to be at home where it is air conditioning. Have her resting." Gray looks into the stroller and Emmy was awake looking all around her. "She is not fussy." "Not yet." They keep on walking until they are the store and passing down the aisles. She was getting hungry, having no breakfast or coffee for that morning. "I should have eaten something before we left." "My stomach is starting to growl. Why don't we get something to eat." "I can have something when I get home. I'll hold off until then." She quickens her step to head to the counter. He was following close behind her and watching her walk. The swaying of her hips was turning him on. He wanted her wrap up in his arms having her moan, calling his name, body pressing up against body. "How to make that come true." "What, did you say?" "Nothing." He only got a little taste of that this morning, by feeling her breasts. The way he was kissing her was egging her on to go further. With Emmy waking up it wasn't likely to carry on.
Standing in line felt like it was going to be forever before they could leave and get back into the car. The prescription was given to the pharmacist but he was filling it out very slowly. Emmy was starting to get fuzzy. There was no way she was going to leave to fill up a bottle and miss her place in line. When she finally got to the counter to pay for the drug. The man in the white coat was telling her how to give it the infant and if there were any concerns to seek her medical doctor. "I am will aware of how the drug is used. I am nurse, I'll take from here." She snatches the bag from his hands after paying for it. "No need to be so rude." She was about to whip around to give him what for before Gray stepped in and gave her Emmy. "That is enough. Best to get her feeling better." Amber holds onto her as they walk out of the store into the mall. They were heading towards the exit. "Aren't you going to give it to her?" "When we are home I will. If I give to her now with out the bottle she might not like he taste of it and spit it out. Need to give it to her quickly and have the bottle ready to mask the taste." "Then lets head back home."
The drive back with the windows open made her feel better in this heat. For the little baby was a different story. She was starting to get fussy and with no bottle, the ride was longer for her. "Shhh Emmy we will be home soon. ok." She turns her head to watch the road, they where heading to Ur and Slivers. "Why are we heading this way?" "My home is on their property." "You didn't want apartment in town?" "I more of a country boy then a city one. Our home that we had, I didn't mind it because it had you in it." He hears her mumbles underneath her breath, but can't make it out. "What did you just said?" She shrugs her shoulders. The rest of the ride had none of them talking. When they get closer to his house. "That is where you live? It's mini mansion." "No, it has about four bedrooms, and the other rooms are of equal size." "Four? Why did you need four?" "I like the style of the house when I picked it out. Plus the extra rooms are for guests." She could see his parents place not to far away and there was also a other house on the estate. She points her finger. "Lyon's?" "Yes, the finished building too. They are done travelling the world and now want to be at home."
He pulls along side her car and parks it and she gets out first. Gray takes out Emmy and comes around the car to her side. Amber was going to reach the handle of her car when two dogs come running over to them. Nash almost knocks her right over. "Hey down boy." He jumps around her with his tail wagging. "I see he remembers you." Amber looks up and sees Lyon, Juiva walking over. "I remember them too. Isn't that right Nash and Mint." She rubs top of both dogs heads. When the two others come over she embraces them in a hug. "It seams like yesterday we saw each other, wait it was." "How can I not come over to see you when we heard his suv pull up and we get to met Emmy as well." "He told you?" "Last night before you left." She nods. "Can be a great and met, but then we have to go. Emmy needs her bottle and medication. She needs to go down for a other nap and I am starving." "Why don't you stay here and do all that." She smiles at her ex brother in law. "No, it's best to be on our way." Gray puts the car seat on the hood of her car. Lyon comes over to see Emmy. "Oh my isn't she cute and looks so much like you Amber." "So much like Angel." He rolls his eyes. "Yeah you were twins, but you had the same face. If we didn't know any better we would have said she was yours." "She is mine, Lyon. I am legally adopting her." "You are going to be awesome mom again." "Thanks." Juvia takes her turn to look at her. "Juiva is in love." Amber smiles at her one time friend. "She is a doll." "Juiva would like to hold her?" "Need to get home." She then reaches for the car seat and take it off the hood. "Gray, hand me my keys." "Juiva wants to meet her and why wait until home to give her the medication. I say do it here." "My brother is correct. Why wait?" Lyon takes the car seat out of her hands and starts walking to Gray's front door. "Wait wait wait." All three of them do not listen to her pleading. "Gray!" "You can stand out here or come in where it's cooler." She crosses her arms and pouts. "Lyon here is her diaper bag. We will be in soon." He comes walking over to her. "Stop acting like a child." "Stop taking control." "Stop putting up walls." She glares at him. "I am not doing that." "Clearing you are. They want to visit and you want to run." She turns her head away from him. "I want to go home." "This was your home for a bit before we had our own and you were expecting Luke." "It wasn't that house." She points at it then moves her hand to his parents one. "We were in the main house for awhile." He moves closer to her. "You were beautiful when you were pregnant with him. I was so lucky." She moves around him not wanting to hear him talk about Luke or being pregnant with him. She cherish that time and she loved every moment of the nine months. If there was some way of finding out what was to come. Maybe her son would still be alive and having more. Gray stops her by putting a arm around her and holding her close. "What is it?" "Do not bring up memories." She tries to get him to loosen his hold. "Be still." He turns her around and sees the tears in eyes. "Amber, do not cry." He wipes the tears away. "Emmy needs me, let me go." "You need me." She looks up at him. "Gray...I do n..." He lowers his head and kisses her from saying more.
A hand reaches up to touch her cheek as the kiss continues and she is responding back to it. The arm that is wrap around her waist brings her closer to him. She puts her hands on his chest and the only thing she could do was let the kiss run it's course. He breaks it off and looks into her eyes. "At lest you didn't knee me this time." "The thought didn't come to my mind." She stares up at him and they stood there for a bit not moving. He rubs his nose with hers. "I want you to need me. Come back to me." "No." She pushes on his chest and backs away. "I can't go down that road with you." She turns and runs inside the house. "I believe you are scare to" Gray takes out her keys from his pocket and looks at them. "Do not want her to go back home." He lefts them up into the air and catches them. "I think I am going to be needing some help." He takes the short walk into his house and closes the door.
