Bray/Amber - Carpark roof

[_bray_]

Bray left Amber in the kids' room then hurried to the Cafe, picking up a couple of blankets from their room on the way. He made two cups of cocoa, taking care not to fill them too much, as he didn't want to spill them

Amber opened the door to the roof carpark and looked around. On the other side she could see KC and Jack having what seemed to be a somewhat serious conversation. Maybe it had been a bad idea to come out on the roof, after all she didn't want to disturb them. By the door there was Bray, waiting for her. "Hey you." she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him on the cheek. "So, how come I had to wait for a few minutes? What have you got planned?"

[_bray_]

Bray looked over warily at KC and Jack. He'd hoped that he and Amber might have had the roof to themselves for a while, but that was the thing about being part of a Tribe, you had to learn to share your space. He nodded a greeting vaguely in their direction, though he suspected that they weren't going to take much notice anyway.

Returning Amber's hug and kiss, Bray just grinned in reply to her questions. Taking her by the hand, he led her over to the spread-out blanket and motioned for her to sit down. Crouching down, Bray picked up a mug and offered it to her.
"Would the lady partake of a tasty beverage?" he asked in a mock haughty voice, sitting down next to Amber and wrapping the other blanket around them.

Amber couldn't help but grin as Bray led her over to where he had spread a blanket out. As much as she was always impatient to find out what a surprise was, she loved the fact that Bray would never ruin a surprise for her, and she gave his hand a little squeeze. She sat down on the blanket, legs cross and eager to find out what Bray's surprise was

Picking up his own mug, Bray noted happily that Amber was pleased with the little surprise. He was glad to have the chance to do small things like this, to be rewarded with Amber's happiness. In the past, when they'd been involved in various stressful happenings at the Mall, these small moments of peace were too easily forgotten.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Bray commented, seeing Amber gazing out towards the sky. He leant over and kissed her on the cheek, then whispered in her ear, "Just like you are." It occurred to Bray that this would probably sound very corny, but he didn't care. This moment of contentment was not going to be forgotten.

Salene opened the door to the Car Park Roof and looked around. She saw Jack laying on the ground and KC standing over him, but Jack looked as if he was looking up at the sky, and KC looked neither irritated nor angry. She started to head out, to ask if they'd seen Amber, but she decided against it and turned back around, heading back towards the door when something caught her eye. The flapping of cloth from behind a large vent was a strange sight, and she moved slowly around to peer around it, smiling when she saw the two of them cuddled up together. It was heartwarming, she knew they hadn't gotten much of a chance lately, and Salene knew how much Bray loved Amber, she knew this was something he'd dreamed of while locked down in that hell with her, and she was glad for him. But there would be more days to come, of married life, they had a lifetime of cuddles to get in

Amber closed her eyes and gave a little sigh. She couldn't neglect the tribe in favour of a hot choclate with Bray, it wouldn't be right, but tribal troubles certainly made a point of cropping up at the most annoying times. "Amber looked over at Bray apologetically. He probably already knew that she would go off and sort things, and he would uderstand, but Amber felt the need to apologise nonetheless.

"I'm sure it won't take long." she said, giving him a quick kiss. "I'll be back as soon as I can." She handed him her mug and removed the blanket from around her before standing up.

"Right Sal, let's go and get this sorted." She said, looking at her friend. "It's not too serious is it?"

[_bray_]

"Of course," said Bray quietly, returning Amber's kiss, "take all the time you need." He took the mug from Amber, and watched as she followed Salene. He sighed - he'd hoped that he could've had just a bit longer with Amber, they were sharing such a wonderful moment. Oh well - once they were married they would share many more such moments, wouldn't they?

Bray looked at the two empty mugs he was holding, as he said under his breath, "Have fun."

[_salene_]

Salene led Amber back out into the stairs, "Oh, no, I could probably handle it on my very own but I just feel the need for your guidance," she bluffed, "I'd explain more but I can't really verbalize it, you have to see what I mean," she added, still looking apologetic. Amber's hair was down and she was dressed casually, "Did you just get out of the shower?" It was a good thing Trudy had set up more than just a party, and Salene was beyond excited, trying to control herself and look serious about the "situation". "I really hate to drag you away from Bray, I am sorry, but you're getting married tomorrow, right?" Salene gave her a happy smile finally, letting some of the excitement bubble forth. "I think I have the whole ceremony down, everything we talked about, I've got some volunteers from the militia helping to decorate tomorrow, a few girls, they're just as excited I think," she chuckled softly and pulled the door to the Mall open, stepping into the second floor.
