After Amy had said that, Shadow quickly remembered that he was the one who had called her up again. He wanted to tell her that Blaze and he were not a couple, but he didn't want Amy to get the wrong idea since they were forced into this marriage. He thought long and hard before turning away from her, "What about you? I thought you had something to ask me."
"What?" She furrowed her eyes at this point, "Shadow, you're the one who called me up here, what would I even ask?"
"You mean you didn't want to ask me any kind of question when we had brunch with Blaze this morning?" He hinted at what he was trying to get across. Amy felt her spirits leave her at the mention of Blaze's name. She turned and looked out the window, wanting to forget that the morning had even happened. Shadow waited with his arms crossed for her to give an answer. After she still hadn't said anything but continued to look out the glass with her ears pinned to her head, he began to grow impatient. What was he supposed to do with this scenario? He couldn't just let her go off thinking that Blaze and him were a thing when they were not. Regardless of the women who always came around him, Amy was still indifferent. Why was she changing how she acted now?
"Rose, listen to me... about Blaze-"
Amy tensed up and turned to glare at Shadow coldly. She stood up and looked him straight in the eye. "My sister is great, she's pretty and has an amazing background. There is not a single bad thing about her. You are lucky to have her."
Shadow pointed to his bedroom, his anger was going to slip out of control at the accusations, "Go take a bath."
"What?"
"I didn't stutter. Go take a bath rose." He walked over to his window and opened it a little bit, lighting his cigarette. "I'll be out here to talk more when you're done."
She found it weird that he wanted her to take a bath. So she walked off and into the bathroom and bathed. When she was done she returned in the same clothes and but was stopped by him in the entrance of his bedroom door. "You asked me why I called for you, and at this point you should know why. I don't have any other use for you do I? I just want your body, that's all."
Amy predicted that this was going to happen the minute he asked her to take a bath. She gulped and swallowed her fear as the color fell from her face. Shadow seemed oblivious to her body language and started unbuttoning his collar. He threw his shirt on the ground and stomped towards her, backing her away from the bedroom door as he shut it behind him. He then walked passed her, "Don't just stand there, go wait where you're supposed to be." Shadow walked into the bathroom and bathed also. Amy stood where she was, her thoughts piling up in just ten minutes. What would happen if she just tried to run out and head back to her room? What would happen if she stayed?
"I thought I told you to go wait where you're supposed to, or would you rather stay right there?" He asked darkly. He approached her and she tensed up. Her back was still to him as he pressed his chest against her back. His hands grabbed onto her arms and he pulled her to him, tightening the feel of her back to his chest. She was taken by surprise when he leaped forward and muttered into her ear, "Don't you want to learn how to share a husband with Blaze?" Amy was stunned and turned around quickly. He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him as he backed up to the bed. She fell into his lap as he sat down, his hands pushed her quills away so he could look at her properly, "Rose, you climbed into my bed and you became my woman. And then you go and praise Blaze right in front of me as if you're encouraging me to do it?" Amy tilted her head a bit confused, she didn't know what he was even talking about. Shadow's hand went from her face to grip her chin, forcing her to stare at him and not avert her eyes, "Get this straight Rose. I have no feelings for Blaze."
Amy breathed out a sigh a relief. She let her body relax a little at this new found information as he continued speaking, "I find sharing a person with ones sibling to be disturbing and disgusting. I would never touch Blaze, I do not like her. Even if she tells you I do, it's all been one sided on her end. I will never love Blaze." Amy opened her mouth but Shadow pulled her down gently and claimed her lips in a calm kiss. Amy had no other option but to let him take her again.
When Shadow had released his seed inside Amy, he sat up and out of breath. Instead of going to cuddle her, he clenched his fist and pulled away from her and opped off the bed. He wrapped himself in a robe and let out a sigh as he grabbed his lighter and cigarette. He turned to Amy who had covered herself in her clothes again before speaking, "Text me if there is any project you want to take on. Modeling, acting, or even an advertisement. If you can't think of one, I'll randomly assign you one." Then he left the room, allowing her the privacy to gather her thoughts. Amy let out a sigh, and fixed her pink quills. Then she got up and grabbed a bottle of water from his fridge and headed towards the door. She turned back to see Shadow smoking outside on his balcony, then opened his front door to his suite and left as she went back to hers. When She got back to her room, it was already late and Cream was asleep. Amy sighed and slid into her own bed, letting the exhaustion and sleep take her.
...
The Next morning she awoke a little bit happier. Shadow had cleared up the confusion with Blaze, so that lifted her spirits. However, even though it seemed like he was being genuine, he still only used her for sex in the end, and that kind of bothered her. She sat up and ran to shower quickly, feeling more energetic than usual. It was six am and she had to be at the set at eight am. She hurriedly got ready and then grabbed Cream, who was already ready, and they left for the filming. When she got there she didn't confront or try to talk to Shadow at all. She stole no glances from him, especially after last night. He also seemed to be in a bad mood that day. Whenever he wasn't shooting scenes, the aura around him was much colder than it had usually been.
For lunch later on the hotel was letting them use the buffet, so after shooting Amy and Cream joked and talked while getting their food in line. When they sat down at a table with other crew members, the conversation they had been having instantly stopped. They all looked at the two, getting quieter and whispering. Amy ignored it, as it was probably some more senseless drama. However, people kept stealing glances at her from all around the room, and Cream was picking up on the weird vibes. Amy picked up on it a bit later and finally looked at Cream, "Did something happen today?"
"I didn't hear anything, but something is definitely up." Cream said back. Just then, out of the corner of her eye, Amy saw a woman pointing at Amy with her fork. She turned to look at the lady who instantly put her hand down. Amy glared at her and then everyone around the room. "Cream, after your meal, go find out what happened please."
Cream nodded. The two of them decided to head back to the room for a break, and upon heading up there they passed a smoke break room, where they heard an ongoing conversation...
"I told you Amy didn't get her tole based off her luck or capability. There are so many people with good acting skills, but they literally replaced the second lead female at the last second."
The voice belonged to Sally no doubt, as she chatted with other actresses.
"Girls like her who pretend to be innocent are actually sluts deep down."
"She sure is calm. Either she doesn't know that her shameless act was exposed, or she's just thick skinned."
