Chapter Eight

“Ok very good Emmy. I want you to really draw out that part. Call to him with your voice. Seduce him.” Andrew whispered as he played in accompaniment to Emmy’s voice.

At the word seduce, Emmy couldn’t help but glance over at Gerry. Leaning back against the wall, he was watching her every move. Feeling his eyes on her sent shivers up her spine. He wasn’t hiding the smirk that was plastered on his lips, which caused her to blush. When he mouthed, too late love already did, she nearly lost it. She had to look at Andrew just so she could finish the song.

Memories of last night’s kisses had her blushing even more. All night she tossed and turned as Gerry’s face swam before eyes. All she could think about all night was if it was real. After being friends for so long, was it right to take this next step? A part of her question was answered when Gerry had picked her up this morning. She had opened the door to find him leaning against the doorframe, a long stem red rose in his hands. When the good mornings were out of the way, he had given her another mind blowing wake up kiss.

“Very good Emmy. I dare say with what I’ve seen today between Gerry’s improved performance and your already brilliant one, this month is going to sail by. Opening night will be here sooner than we think.” Andrew smiled at them. “I see your adventures paid off last night, Gerry.”

Gerry’s eyes rose up to meet Emmy’s. Her dark eyes reached out to him. He wanted more than anything to walk over there and kiss her again. What was wrong with him? All he could think about was her lips. He was never this distracted at work. He smirked as he took a drink from his water. “You could say that again. Miss Emmy knows what she’s talking about. Don’t ya love?”

Before Emmy could answer there was a knock on the rehearsal door. “Enter.” Andrew commanded. The door swung open and three people walked in. Andrew’s face lit up in another smile. “Ah so good of you to join us. Gerry, Emmy I want you to meet some of your castmates.” Andrew got up and walked over to the group.

“Morning Andrew.” The lone male in the group smiled as he gave a little wave. “Right on time, as always.”

“Thank goodness someone is, David.” Andrew chuckled. “Emmy, Gerry, this is David Shannon. He’s going to be your Raoul, Emmy. This is Wendy Ferguson, she’s going to be Carlotta and finally we have Heidi O’Brien who will be playing Meg.”

Emmy gave the group a smile as she walked over. “It’s nice to meet all of you.”

David grinned as he held out his hand. “It’s nice to finally meet my Christine.” He shook Emmy’s hand gently. “Actually I’m new on the show also. Only have been doing it for about a month now.”

“Yea, It’s been awhile since I’ve done live theater.” Emmy told him.

“But you’ve made the role of Christine your own. I’ve seen the movie and you were incredible.” David complimented her.

“I just hope I can translate her to the stage just as well.” Emmy worried.

“Oh don’t worry about it. You’re a fine actress.” Heidi waved her hand as she smiled. “If you need any help, just ask.”

“Thanks.” Emmy smiled shyly.

From across the room Gerry’s eyes narrowed as he looked at David. So this was the new Raoul? He casually walked over to stand behind Emmy, who was now in a conversation with their new castmates. “Nice to meet all of you.” He put a hand on Emmy’s waist.

Emmy tried to keep the smirk from her face, but she knew she was failing. Could it be that someone was jealous? “Everyone, this is Gerry. He’s our Phantom.”

David held out his hand. “So I finally get to meet my adversary?” He joked. “It’s really good to meet you.”

Gerry shook his hand and gave him a tight smile.” Same here.”

“Gerry and David, why don’t you two come over here.” Andrew motioned with his hand. “I want to work out some details with you.”

Gerry nodded as he slowly let go of Emmy. His hand brushed against her back in a protective caress, which caused her to look up at him and smile. He winked at her as he walked over to where Andrew was.

“I’d be careful if I were you.” Heidi whispered in a worried tone as she leaned closer to Emmy.

Emmy turned around and gave her a puzzled look. “Be careful of what?”

“Andrew doesn’t like it when his cast gets involved with one another during a run.” Wendy told her as she gave her a sympathetic smile.

“What do you mean?” Emmy tried to keep the smile on her face. The last thing she needed was Gerry getting in trouble. She knew from rumors that Andrew could be a strict taskmaster.

“You and Gerry.” Heidi nodded towards the two men with Andrew.

Emmy’s eyes widened. Were they that transparent? She knew she had to do some quick talking. She forced a laugh as she waved her hand. “Gerry and I are just really close friends. Besides, I have a boyfriend from back home.” She prayed that lightning would strike her down for the lie.

“Boyfriend?” That word came from three different mouths as Heidi, Wendy and Gerry all spoke at once.

Gerry had been half listening to what Andrew was telling him when he overheard Emmy telling the girls she had a boyfriend. What boyfriend from back home? She sure as hell didn’t mention any boyfriend before. He suddenly felt anger rise up in his chest as he couldn’t stop the scowl that appeared on his face. What the fuck was going on? Why would she lie to him?

Emmy heard Gerry exclaim with the girls in surprise. She knew that she had to fix this and fix this quickly. She didn’t want the suspicion to fall on them. However, she didn’t want to freak Gerry out with a lie. Giving a sideways glance to Gerry, she smiled at the girls. “Yea, his name is…” She took a deep breath. Think of a name Emmy! Taking another glance at Gerry, she blurt out “James. His name is James, but I just call him Jamie.”

Seeing the quick look she gave him, Gerry scowl quickly turned into a smile and then a smirk. He looked down to try to hide it. Jamie eh, he chuckled to himself. Oh, his little minx was going to pay for scaring the fuck out of him. They had talked a little this morning on the way to the theater about having to keep things quiet. They agreed to keep things a secret for now. Hell maybe Emmy inventing a boyfriend would keep all the right people off their tail. Looking up, his green eyes were twinkling. “How is good ole Jamie doing?”

Emmy’s head whipped around to look at Gerry. She could see the amusement in his eyes. Oh lovely, now she had him laughing at her. “He’s doing great. I mean he’s taking this whole ocean separating us thing pretty well.” Staring into his eyes, she gave him a look that said, we’ll talk later.

“How do you keep in touch then with such a distance between you?” Wendy asked as she shook her head. “That’s a true long distance relationship.”

“Lots of letters actually. He writes great love letters. Very sensual.” Emmy cringed knowing full well this was going to come back and bite her in the ass. “Then there is the phone calls. But letters are cheaper.” She gave a nervous laugh.

“Love letters?” Heidi sighed. “Now that is a guy to hang on to. Most guys these days wouldn’t know how to write a love letter even if they had the Love Letter For Dummies book.”

Emmy laughed. “Well Jamie is special.”

“Now that we are all up to date on Emmy’s love life can we get to work?” Andrew asked with an amused smile on his face. Everyone chuckled as Emmy blushed a deep red. The group broke up as everyone grabbed their music.

Emmy was flipping through her’s when she felt someone behind her. She looked over her shoulder to find Gerry smiling at her. “Can I help you?” She tried to be nonchalant but feeling his hands on her waist, that went right out the window.

“So is this Jamie a great kisser or what?” Gerry teased as he whispered. When he saw her blush again, he chuckled. “I take that as a yes. Love letters, eh love?”

“I had to think of something.” Emmy groaned, whispering furiously.

“Ever heard the saying, be careful what you ask for?” Gerry ran his fingers lightly over her as he walked over to join David and Andrew.

Emmy jerked her head up as her eyes narrowed. What the hell does that mean? Just what are you up to Gerard Butler? Catching his eyes, she saw him wink. “Oh hell…” She breathed. I am in serious trouble.

* * * * * *

Gerry was in his dressing room reading his script, hiding out. This was the one place he could have a smoke without Andrew jumping down his throat. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked an ash into the ashtray when the door opened. He was expecting Tonya so he didn’t bother looking up. “Don’t start Tonya.” He slipped the cigarette between his lips. He knew she was going to start bitching about his habits.

“Well she’s right, you do need to quit.” Emmy laughed softly.

His head lifted and he grinned when he saw her standing there. Seeing the look on her face, he chuckled. “Ok love, you win. I’m only doing this for you.” Putting the cigarette out, he grabbed the box of mints he kept handy. Popping a mint in his mouth, he put his script aside.

“Ooo I must be special if you are willing to do that for me.” Emmy teased him as she closed the door behind her. Walking over to the chair where he sat, she came to stand between his legs.

“Well you I can bribe so you don’t go running off to Andrew. With Tonya I’m not so sure. Not even money can pay her off.” He grumbled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

She pushed at his shoulders playfully. “Oh you can buy me off huh? With what? Just what do you have Butler that you think I want?” She couldn’t stop her laughter.

“Come here, love and I’ll show you.” He growled as he pulled her down, his lips brushing softly against her’s. “This baby. We’ve got this.” He pulled her down into his lap, cradling her against his chest as he began to kiss her.

Emmy moaned as she opened up her mouth to him. Her hand curled around the back of his neck as she slid her tongue against his. The kiss deepened as he began to explore her mouth with his soft tongue. He tasted like a faint mix of cigarettes and the mint he just ate. Normally it would turn her off but with Gerry, there was something sexy about it.

Breaking the kiss softly, Gerry nibbled on her lips as he whispered. “So do I kiss better than your Jamie?” He couldn’t keep the laughter out of his voice.

Emmy buried her head in his chest as she groaned. “You are horrible! What was I going to do?” She lifted her head to find Gerry’s eyes smiling down at her. “We agreed to keep this a secret. I don’t want Andrew yelling at you.”

Gerry looked down at her and stroked her back. “You think that is why I’m doing this?” He lowered his head and kissed her softly. “Emmy love, that’s not the reason.” He caressed her cheek.

“Then why?” Emmy laid her head on his shoulder.

“I want to protect you.” Gerry sighed as he pulled her closer to him in a protective hug. “I couldn’t give a shit if Andrew screamed at me. I just don’t want him lecturing you. I can only imagine what he’d say to you. Besides, it’s the others that I’m worried about.”

“What others?” Emmy sat up and looked down at him. “What are you talking about?”

“The press. If they got a hold of the fact that I want to be with you, they’d hound you day and night.” Gerry sighed. “It’s worse over here, especially Scotland. The Scottish Press are fucking horrible. They’d have a fucking field day. I refuse to subject you to that.” He rattled on.

“We shouldn’t let them run our lives.” Emmy took both of his hands and held them in her own, their fingers intertwining. “I get this feeling that something else is wrong. Tell me.”

Gerry sighed again. “You want to know the real reason?”

Emmy felt a bit scared when she saw the vulnerability on his face. He had a look she’d never seen. Oh god please don’t tell me he changed his mind! “I don’t think there should be any secrets between us.” She tried to keep her voice from wavering.

“I’m just worried about the people close to us. That they will look at us and think that perhaps you’re making a mistake. I mean with the age difference and all.” Gerry cursed under his breath as he looked away. “Your family hated the fact you came over here by yourself. What will they say when they find out that I’m the man who wants you?”

Emmy’s heart swelled as she watched him looking down. His first thoughts were of her. He wanted to play her knight in shining armor and save her. A smile tugged on her lips. She reached under and turned his chin so that she could look at him. “Let me deal with my family. Yes right now it is probably better if we keep everything quiet. You don’t know how much it means to me that you are so worried about me.”

Gerry wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his head on her chest, closing his eyes as he hugged her. “You mean the world to me, Emmy Grey. I know it should scare the fuck out of me, feeling so much so fast, but it doesn’t. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.” He admitted in a hoarse voice.

“See that’s why I agreed to keep things quiet. To protect you. I know I said we shouldn’t let them run our lives but I can’t let them hurt you.” Emmy ran her fingers through his hair. “I hate this hiding.”

“So do I, but what choice do we have?” Gerry looked up. “Technically we’ve been together for a night.”

“Well we have three reasons to keep this quiet. Andrew, our families, and the press.” Emmy sighed. “I hope you don’t think I’m ashamed of being with you or anything.”

Gerry smiled as he kissed her softly. “Not at all, love. We’ll just have to keep it secret for a while.”

“That’s the best way then. Castmates by day…” She started.

Pulling her head down, Gerry kissed her passionately. His fingers nimbly unbuttoned two of her buttons on her blouse as he slipped his hand in as he cupped her breast on the outside of her bra. He hugged her tight against him. “And mine at night.”

Just then there was a knock at the door. Tonya’s voice interrupted them. “I hope your decent in there because I am not seeing you naked again.”

Emmy scrambled off his lap as she tried to fix herself. Gerry stood up and groaned as he felt himself hard in his jeans. “Why do I have a feeling that this is gonna happen a lot around you?” He whispered. He grinned as Emmy chuckled. “Here let me help.” He quickly buttoned up her buttons. Then he cupped her breasts on the outside of her shirt, only to get his hands slapped away by a laughing Emmy.

“Stop, behave.” She gave him a mock glare.

“Come on in Tonya.” Gerry called out as he laughed, sitting in the chair.

The door opened and Tonya stopped dead in her tracks. “Oh I didn’t know you had company.” She smiled at the young woman. “Hello Emmy.”

“Hey. I was just leaving. We were going over the script and Gerry was goofing around again. He can never take anything seriously.” Emmy quickly covered up.

Tonya rolled her eyes. “Don’t get me started. So do you need a ride home?” She asked.

“Actually no. David offered me a ride home. He’s playing Raoul.” Emmy explained.

“What?” Gerry’s face turned into a scowl. “You’re riding home with him?”

Emmy smirked. “Yes I am. He and his wife.” She put emphasis on the last word. “His wife is really nice. I met her in his dressing room. So I will see you two later.” She waved as she walked to the door.

Tonya watched Gerry’s face as Emmy walked out. When the door closed, she crossed her arms over her chest. “Care to tell me what’s going on? It looked like I interrupted something.”

Reaching for his pack of cigarettes, Gerry shrugged. “I don’t know what you mean.” He took one out and put it between his lips.

Tonya ripped it out and glared at him. “Gerry she is only 19. You are turning 36.”

Gerry’s eyes rose and they were filled with anger. “What’s your fucking point? We are friends. Can’t I have a friend who’s a bit younger?”

“Is it just friends?” Tonya threw back.

“What kind of fucking question is that?” Gerry stood up and grabbed the cigarette out of her hands. “My personal life is just that, personal.”

“I know but I just don’t want to see you or Emmy hurt.” Tonya sighed. “I just want you to think about this. Before it goes any further.”

“You think you know everything. I love ya Tonya, I do. But you have no idea about this.” Gerry’s voice softened a bit. “We’re friends. Just leave it at that.” There was no room for argument. He grabbed the pack of cigarettes on the table and his jacket. “I’ll meet you at the car.” He threw open the door and walked out, slamming it behind him.

Tonya jumped and sighed. “Just be careful Gerry. That’s all I ask. No more broken hearts, not this time.” She whispered to herself. “This is one mess I can’t clean up.”
