Filming continued to be crazy and now as she came home, Allison was happy to know she would have four days of different scenery. It's not that she didn't love working with Chris, and the rest of the crew, but it would be nice to see fresh faces. She went to bed, but found it hard to go to sleep, so she pulled out her laptop and played a few games, that was when she noticed it, a file on her desktop titled only sorry. She was afraid to open it, she had been feeling so good the past week, only a few text with Tom and she ran into Ben once at the studio, Turns out he was filming just a building away. She hid the file, not wanting to be tempted. She then checked her email before bed, seeing one from Ceci. She opened it and read it over and replied, then she shut the laptop. She laid back, felling cold so she covered up with her blanket, but soon she was hot so she kicked it off along with her sleep pants. She tossed and turned for a bit, but somehow her body gave in, finding a few hours of sleep before her alarm went off.
She took a long hot shower and got ready before heading to the address Jay had given her. She pulled up to the old converted warehouse and headed up to the top floor. She stepped off the freight elevator and saw Shannon standing there talking to a camera man.
"Here is my lovely work wife now. How are you this morning bright eyes?"
"Good, you seem to be in a good mood." He shrugged slightly as he walked over and motioned for her to follow him. He led her over to where Jay was talking to a woman about wardrobe.
"Ah, good your here. Anita is dying to get you changed, so I will leave you to it." He gave Allison a hug and she smiled as she pulled away, he wore the same cologne as Ben. She followed Anita to a dressing area and was happy to see she wasn't dressing scandalous at the moment. It was a pure white dress with a high neck and long sleeves. It hung about two inches above her knees and Anita paired it with while sky-high heals. She told Allison to stay in the chair so that she could do her hair and make up, snapping a reference photo once she was done. As Allison stood up she felt like a baby dear walking for the first time.
"I feel like Bambi on the ice." Anita chuckled with her shaking her head.
"You kinda look that way."
"I'm used to heels, just not stripper heels. Oh well, I can do this." She put her hand on Anita's shoulder as she steadied herself, then she walked out nearly gracefully. She only turned her ankle twice before she made it to where Jay and Shannon were standing. Jay looked her over, happy with the way she looked. Allison leaned on Shannon casually, now the same height as him in her four-inch heals. He could feel her wobble slightly from time to time, so he put his hand on the small of her back, ready to catch her if he needed. Jay talked for what felt like ten minutes about what was going on in the scene, and what she could expect. Finally he stopped and smiled wildly at her.
"Are you just going to stand there balancing on twigs letting me go on forever. We can go where you can sit, you look like a good gust of wind could knock you over."
"Not gonna lie, I would have let you go on as long as you wanted, I may have ended up walking away to go sit. And yes, a small gust could knock me down." Shannon smiled as his hand slid further around her waist.
"I'll help you out." He soon had scooped her up into his arms and she held onto his neck. She laughed as he carried to settee and sat her down on it.
"Thank Shan. I guess I owe you one." he smiled as he leaned down.
"I think we will be able to work something out."
Seven hours and three outfits later, Jay finally said that they were finished for the day and Allison felt like she had just worked 14 hours. She changed out of her barely there outfit she was now in and back into her jeans and t-shirt. She walked back out towards the elevator, putting lotion on her hands when she heard her name. She turned to see Jay walking over.
"Sorry for working you so hard today, but we were just in the zone."
"Did you hear me complain?"
"No."
"Then you have nothing to be sorry for." She pulled out a tube of lip balm and slid it across her lips before dropping it back into her purse. Jay smiled as he leaned close.
"That smells really good."
"My lip balm or my lotion?"
"Lotion I think." God those eyes she thought to herself.
"Thanks. Anything else?"
"No, um, I'll see you bright and early."
"With bells on." Allison then turned and walked to the elevator, taking it down. She walked out to the parking lot and got into her car, starting it up. She then drove to a little diner not far from her apartment where she ate dinner alone, actually enjoying the solitude.
The next morning Allison woke up a little sore, but ready to push further. She got up and showered, dressed and ate a small breakfast before heading out the door. She arrived at the warehouse and made her way upstairs, hearing the sounds of Shannon working on her way up. She walked over to where Jay was sitting, talking to him quietly.
"Am I late?" Jay turned to see Allison standing next to him watching Shannon in front of the camera.
"No, your early, here have a seat." She sat down next to Jay and watched as Shannon filmed a scene of him behind his massive drum set. He kept playing hard, and Allison couldn't help but smile as she watched him. She then realized they had to have been here late last night, or really early this morning, the set Shannon was on looked totally different from yesterday. Her gaze refocused on Shannon now, admiring the way his arms flexed as he played, her eyes followed the lines in his arm up to his strong shoulders, then down his exposed sides in that damn cut up t-shirt. Beads of sweat had started to cover his body and Allison realized she really needed to focus on work. Soon Shannon stopped and Jay stood up, walking over and talking to his brother.
"Hey Allison." She looked up from her phone. Jay motioned for her to join him. She dropped her hone into her purse, leaving it sit as she walked towards the two.
"Yes boss."
"I just got a thought, I want to see you play the drums."
"For one, I can't, not really. two, You sure he's o.k. with it." She motioned to Shannon with a nod and Jay just smiled at her.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. Just trust me on this one."
"Do I need to change?"
"No, I like what you have on." Allison nodded slowly as she looked to Shannon, walking over to the drums taking the sticks he was offering her. Allison got behind the set and hit the kick tom once, then the bass getting a feel for the sound. She beat out a simple cadence on the floor toms and soon she felt Shannon behind her. He put his hands overs her, playing and soon she relaxed her muscles, letting him be the one to control her arms. She smiled as his breath would tickle neck as he told her to hit the bass. They sat like this for a good five minutes, just lost in the fun of it. Jay had them stop, coming over to give them a few directions, how to make it look more sensual. Allison chuckled slightly as she nodded to Jay. Once the camera was on again the shot the sequence so that Allison was playing, Shannon came up behind her, taking over her hands and playing with her again, like they were two bodies becoming one. Allison was to look as Shannon, biting her lip, looking almost like they were having sex. Fortunately, because it had been nearly two months since she had been with Ben, she really had no trouble making it look like she was turned on.
Allison pressed her hips back against him arching her back and resting the back on her head on his shoulder. She watched his eyes and his lips as she bit on her own lip, then letting her lip go, licking it slowly. Shannon glanced down at her and she gave him a mischievous smile, the next thing she knew Shannon had turned and pressed his lips to hers, slowly he stopped playing, then they heard Jay tell them it looked good. Allison pulled away, watching Shannon as he licked his lips, winking at her. Jay came over and Allison made her mind focus on him. He had them both go change and now Allison had on a pair of short black tight shorts, a white tank top, black lace bra. Her hair was big bedroom hair and her make up was dramatic smokey eyes and deep red lips. Shannon had on black dress pants and a white dress shirt.
They all headed down a floor and Allison was shocked to see an elaborate set, looking like a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. They were filming a sequence where Shannon came home, finding Allison in the kitchen, then they have a fight, throwing things, finally ending in the bathroom where they both end up wet as they made out in the shower. They did a quick run through, Jay giving them suggestion and directions before they filmed. Allison was actually excited to do the fight scene, she would get to yell and throw things, and that sounded like a great stress reliever. They started filming as soon Shannon and Allison were yelling at each other. Allison got really into the character, and Shannon was a little taken back by how much of her own pain she was putting into it. She soon picked up this big yellow vase she was supposed to throw at a teal wall. The really striking part of the vase scene was the face that when it hit the wall, it had a few pack of red paint inside it that would splatter on impact. Jay gave Allison the go ahead, and she threw the vase with all her anger and frustration and it shattered, blowing up as it hit the wall. Now she walked down the hallway towards the bathroom and Shannon followed her, pushing the bathroom door open as she backed away from him. Soon he had her back pressed against the cold tile as his mouth over took hers. A few minutes later and Allison and Shannon had towels wrapped around them as they watched the playback. Jay was ecstatic with how the vase came out, but wanted another got with them in shower.
Four hours later Allison was putting her own clothes back on, done for the day. she put her lotion and lip balm on before she slid into her shoes and headed out to talk to Jay before she left. She was walking out into the main area when Jay called out to her.
"Hey, I was just coming to look for ya."
"I think we can wrap this up tomorrow, which blows my mind. You and Shannon just look natural together." Allison smiled at Jay, not really knowing how to take what he had just said.
"Well thank you, and done, that is amazing. I'm actually kind of sad I won't get to work with you more."
"Me too, your great to work with. But we still have tomorrow."
"Yea we do. I'll see you in the morning" Allison's thought started as he hugged her. There it is, that smile when his eyes light up, damn he looks so...nope not going to do this. I need to get my career going, got to figure out my heart as it sits now, but I can keep this image of him in my mind for when I'm alone tonight, yup thought of him and Shannon to get me through any frustrations I will have later.
She left and went back to her apartment, thinking as she drove, her sexual frustration level was about a four, and she would not give in until she reached eight.
