Once their plane took off towards the Caribbean Islands, Allison felt nervous. This was the first time her and Ben would get to be truly alone together. The plane hit a bit of turbulence and she found herself holding onto Ben's arm. He was reading a book when she latched onto him and he looked over her, waiting to see if she needed him to put her mind at ease. She had warned him she was a nervous flyer, but luckily the flight to JFK had been a smooth one. This time they flew on the outside of a storm and she watched as the sky put on an impressive show of light in the distance.

"We're safe right, I mean they will just fly around the storm right? It seems to be moving away from us, so we're good?"

"Love, I promise you I have flown in worse, in a smaller plane, we are safe." She looked up at him, her big blue eyes searching his for courage.

"I must sound so crazy right now." She forced a smile but Ben leaned down and kissed her forehead, pulling his arm from her grasp and wrapping it around her shoulders.

"Not at all. Should I get you a drink? Would that help love?" Allison kept her eyes on his as she nodded yes. He called the flight attendant and ordered drinks to help ease her nerves. Allison curled into his side and tried to concentrate on the sound of his breathing as she laid her head on his shoulder. She breathed in his sent and felt herself starting to relax. His fingers gently stoked her side as he read. After their drinks were brought to them, Allison found herself feeling more at ease.

"You are amazing mister." Ben put his book down and took a sip of his drink before looking down at Allison. He held out his hand for hers, and she obliged. He looked down at her hand, gently rubbing his thumb over her fingers. She looked him over, memorizing his features, as he enjoyed just having her next to him. Soon he smiled as he looked at her, seeing her eyes had gotten heavy. He held her close, and got back into his book while they finished the flight. Soon the pilot came over the speaker and said they would be landing shortly and Ben felt Allison stir against him, waking up from her light nap. Once they landed, they switched to a small plane to get them to the island of Bonaire where their private beach house was. Once they had gotten to Bonaire, a cab took them to the house and Allison looked over it in awe. She walked though the house, looking over everything before heading out to the terrace, then down to the beach. She went back in and looked for Ben. He had changed out of his clothes to a pair of swim trunks and was getting ready to head out to find her.

"Oh, were you going to get started without me?"

"No, I was coming to look for you, get your swimsuit on and come out with me."

"Give me a few." Allison went into the bedroom where Ben had put the suitcases and looked for her new bathing suit. She found it and quickly changed. She threw on her cover up and went looking for a couple of towels. She found some and headed out to the pool, but saw Ben was out at the beach under a grass topped cabana. She headed down to the beach and dropped the towels in the chair next to him. He looked at her black dress covering up her bathing suit and raised an eyebrow. She smiled as she slowly pulled the dress over her head, revealing a dark coral two piece. A triangle top, tying not only at the back, but in the front and a pair of low-rise bottoms with a ruffle around the top. Ben could see the very top of her heart tattoo peeking out of the bathing suit and he started to forget about swimming. Allison could see the look in his eyes and took off running towards the water. Ben smiled as he ran after her, his long legs cutting the distance easy. Soon he caught her around the waist and picked her up, carrying her towards the water. Allison squealed as she squirmed in his arms.

"Ben, put me down. Please it's going to be cold"

"You're the one who took off for the water. Now we are going for a swim."

"No, please. Let me go." She giggled as his finger dug into her sides. He neared the water's edge and put her feet on the sand, still holding her waist. She felt the cool water rusher over her feet and turned in his arms, wrapping hers around his neck. She then wrapped her legs around his waist and figured he was going to put her into the cold water, he would have to go too. He held her behind as he waded into the water. Soon he was knee-deep and felt her shaking in his arms from anticipation. He took a few more steps and just fell into the water sideways, plunging both of them under water. Once they hit the water, Allison pulled away from him and sat up. She didn't know where he went and jumped to her feet, seeing him swimming out farther under the clear water. She walked out to where the water was at the top of her thigh before pushing off and swimming out to meet Ben. Soon he popped up about 10 feet in front of her and she headed to him. Once she was close to him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her across the water to him.

"Not as cold as you thought it would be?"

"It was at first, but I got used it." He smiled as he put his arms around her, feeling her skin against his. Soon she pulled away from Ben and started swimming back to the beach. He followed, and soon a race ensued. Ben pulled ahead of her and then slowed down. He looked back and noticed a shadow below him, by the time he realized it was Allison she was almost into the shallow water. He dove towards her and caught her ankle, pulling her back as he swam forward. He slid into the shallow water and stood up, looking back for Allison. She popped up and looked around, once she saw the shore she moved to Ben. She walked past him towards the cabana, laying on one of lounge chairs. He followed her laying next to her as he toweled off, stopping once he saw her hand move, slowly untying the front of her top. Soon the ties broke free of each other and she let it fall open.

Ben licked his lips as his eyes looked over her body. She stood up and took his hand, leading him back up to house. She let him to a pair of huge lounge chairs under a net on the patio and pushed him back onto one.

They spend most of the next two days in each others arms. Soon it was dusk as he laid on the hammock, Allison snuggled up to him as they stargazed. Tonight he had on just a pair of cotton shorts and she was in a t-shirt and boyshorts and they both enjoyed the warm ocean breeze caressing their skin. He lightly ran his fingertips over her arm as they swung slowly.

"Allison, I got another role offer." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Tell me about it." He couldn't read her reaction laying in the hammock so he wanted to head inside so he could see how she was really feeling. He told her he wanted to head inside and she carefully got off the hammock, careful not to flip him off this time. She waited as he hopped off and then headed inside with him, following him over to the sofa, sitting next to him. He angled himself so that he could see her.

"I would be doing a majority of the filming in New Zealand and the rest in L.A." He watcher her soft features as a small smile tugged at her lips.

"I take it you will be on the next Fincher project." Ben smiled at her, surprised by her answer.

"How did you know love?" Allison giggled before confessing her secret.

"I read the Hollywood Insider." He smiled and pulled her close.

"I would leave to start filming in two weeks." He felt her body tense up, then relax again.

"It works out then. I have two television show's to film in L.A. in three weeks, then once I'm done there I have a show to film in Toronto."

"When were you going to tell me?" He looked at her, he was a bit annoyed she hadn't told him before now.

"I didn't want to ruin our time together, I wanted to tell you on the way back." She knew he had every right to be upset, but the look on his face didn't changed.

"How long have you known about this?" His voice sounded angry now and she hated that it was her fault.

"I found out when we were in New York. Jan emailed me letting me know my schedule." He looked her over and took a deep breath.

"I thought maybe you could be with me but I guess not." She knew he had a reason to be upset, but not like this. He was being rude and snarky, a bit of Sherlock showing as he look at her.

"Well I'm sorry to be such a disappointment but I do have to work Ben." She just added a match to the fire now.

"No, you don't. I have told you that, but me taking care of you isn't good enough." She felt the tears welling up now, and knew this wasn't Ben, this was completely not like him. She didn't know why he was acting so rudely. She stood up and went to the bedroom.

"You can't just walk away from this, go to sleep and it all be fixed in the morning Allison." He leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes.

"I know Ben, but I sure as hell aren't going to stay here and listen to you act like an ass for no reason. I agree you had the right to be upset about me not telling you sooner, but this is over the line." He looked at her now, she had slid on a pair of jeans and had her sandals her hands.

"Where are you going?"

"Taking a walk to cool down, you may want to consider it Ben." With that she walked out to the beach and took a stroll. She felt the tears rolling down her face as she walked along the water.

Soon it was very dark and she had no clue how long she had walked, or where she was. She stopped and looked around, her eyes scanning for lights or movement, anything. She saw a light further down the beach and headed that way, maybe whoever was down there would let her through to the road, where at least there were lights. Soon the light grew brighter and she could see it was a large bonfire. She got closer and counted 6 guys, 4 women, and hoped she wasn't being too naive walking over. On of the guys noticed her and called out.

"Hola, quieres una cervsa?"

"No. Gracias. Hablas ingles?"

"Yes, your american. Welcome." As Allison drew near she could see they all had matching shirts on, they worked for the resort that was down the road from the house Ben had rented.

"Thanks, Sorry to interrupt, but I wandered a bit to far now I'm lost."

"Don't worry, it happens more than you know. I'm Chris, sorry for the Spanish before, I thought you were one of the local girls that comes down here most nights."

"No worries, I'm Allison by the way. Do you know how I can a cab ride back to the villa I'm staying at."

"For your, how about I give you a ride?"

"Oh well considering I took a walk to cool off from a small tiff with my boyfriend, I don't think that would be wise."

"What man could ever fight with you?"

"Look, I know your used to turning on the charm, and making the ladies swoon, but I really just need to get back to my villa, please." Another guy stood up and walked over, putting a large hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Hello, everyone calls me Los. Sorry for my buddy here, he has had one too many and can't shut off his mouth when he's done so. Um, I can ride you down on the golf cart if you want, there are yellow blinking lights on top, so it will look like you were officially lost." Allison looked up at this man, who had to stand at 6 ft. 3 at least. He had dark hair and skin, and from what she could see his eyes were a deep ebony. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thanks, I would greatly appreciate it." He turned and led Allison to the cart and told her to hold on as he gunned it out over the curb and onto the pavement. She was surprised the little cart could go so fast, they were travelling at maybe 35 mph, but on a small golf cart it felt faster. He slowed down once he got to where the Villa were and she pointed out where they needed to go. Once they were in front of the villa she climbed off and thanked him for the ride. She walked around to the back patio and saw Ben standing out by the beach and called out to him.

Once he heard her voice he turned around and ran over to her, putting his arms around her and holding her close.

"Allison Love, you've been gone over an hour, I was worried to death."

"Sorry, I got lost, but ended up at the resort down the road. One of the workers gave me a ride back down." He could hear the dejection in her voice and knew he needed to explain his outburst earlier.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I was just hoping you and I would be able to spend more time together, but I know you want to work. Can you forgive me." She looked at him, not sure he was telling her the whole reason he was so upset, but tonight she was just happy he was back to her Ben.
