For the next week Allison tried to talk to Hannah, but the girl just wasn't having it. Today Allison had the day off, and she decided to spend it catching up with some friends. She sent Jared a text, seeing if he was free. He told her was doing an interview and he would call her when he was done. She then dialed Ceci, happy to hear her close friend answer the phone.

"What are you up to woman?"

"Oh you know me Ceci, just hanging in there."

"O.K. so what's on your mind?"

"Hannah is pissed off at me."

"What, why?"

"Well when Ben came out to visit last weekend she met him, but she told me basically she didn't think Ben was in love with me, and that I should be with Tom."

"Well, I think you and Tom are amazing together."

"Ceci. You know about the plan."

"I know, but I was just saying."

"So, tell me, how is Shannon?"

"Great, but I don't know how much longer I can deal with this long distance thing."

"You can deal, I know you can. Shannon is just crazy about you, and I know you're mad about him."

"You're right, but how did you do this? Not being able to, well you know."

"Girl, I know good and well that you've had phone sex before, and video chat is always fun."

"I couldn't never do that."

"OH yes you can if you're really wanting to keep your relationship."

"But how? How do you even start that kind of conversation."

"Just talk to him, tell him how much you miss kissing him."

"I don't think I can do that."

"Cecilia, it isn't that hard, you can. If I can do it, you can."

"How did you do it?"

"Good lord Ceci, really? Look just next time you talk to him, let him know you miss him and that you're in the mood."

"I can't."

"Yes you can, trust me."

"Ugh, I just don't know how you do it, being so far away, not being able to get any satisfaction."

"I get satisfaction, you just have to use your imagination."

"I don't know, I just don't think I could start that kind of thing with Shannon. I mean, I don't know."

"Crap Ceci, I don't know but I'm getting a call, I'll text you later if I think of anything."

"Fine, I'll talk to you soon."

"Hey, come on, love you!"

"Love you too."

Allison hung up, switching to the other call she was getting smiling once she heard the raspy voice on the line.

"Hello."

"Hey, I'm free now."

Hey, is Shannon with you?"

"Um yea."

"Give him the phone for just a second please. It's about Ceci." Jared didn't hesitate, thinking something had happened, and soon Shannon's voice came over the line.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yea, I didn't want to alarm you. I just got off the phone with her, she says she is missing you, and she's needing a little relief."

"Relief? From what?"

"Loneliness." Shannon set quiet for a moment.

"Um, alright."

"Look she said she didn't know how to bring it up to you, you know, maybe a little phone play or video chat."

"Oh, and you want me to know so that I can, I see."

"K. Gimme Jay back."

"Love you too."

"Yea, yea. Love you Shan." Shannon laughed as he tossed the phone back to his brother. As Jared's voice came back on the line, he could see a wicked smile on Shannon's lips.

"So I take you gave Shannon some love advice."

"I did. So how have you guys been?"

"Great, we've had a blast. How about you? How's the plan going."

"It's going. I just have to hang in there another month."

"Well, if you want to take your mind off of that, you could check out the new video. I will send it to you direct, it won't be live until next week."

"Oh, I don't know if I'll be able to watch it. You know me in all that leather, you and Shannon teasing me relentlessly."

"Well, take that image and use it to inspire some fun times."

"I do that enough." Jared made that Scooby Doo what sound before talking to Allison.

"What the hell, what kind of fun times do I inspire."

"It's in my dreams Jay."

"Seriously, you dream about me."

"Shut up, don't get so full of yourself."

"No, really. Please, do you?" There was something in his voice, he was serious.

"I do. Why is it that important."

"Maybe it's a two-way street."

"Don't play with me like that."

"No I mean it." She heard his voice drop to just above a whisper now as he spoke, causing it to be a little more rough, like in her dreams. "I never thought you would dream about me though. I mean with Ben or Tom to dream about."

"Jay, you do know you just ooze sexuality right. I mean this magnetism comes off you in waves, and damn it, you almost worse than Tom. They way you don't even seem to notice how fucking sexual you are times."

"I know, but I always thought the same with you. I mean you show up to buy that leather outfit, and to see you all nervous about it, that was hot. Then you tell me there was no way in hell you were going to pass up the opportunity to have me all twisted. I had never felt so attracted to you as I was right then. Now, I mean I think you are gorgeous, I just never saw you as someone to sleep with, until that day. That came out totally wrong."

"Jay, I know what you mean."

"So, I think you should tell me about this dream you had." Allison laughed as she spoke.

"Which one?"

Two hours later and Allison was finally off the phone with Jared, and now she had to take a cold shower to cool off from their conversation. Afterwords she sent Tom a picture of a familiar yellow tube, hoping he had some free time. After about ten minutes, she got a text back.

I actually bought some for myself, you made a believer out of me.

Good, one more converted. How have you been?

Well. You alright?

Of course. I do miss you though.

I miss you as well.

Are you going to be working late today?

Actually this is shaping up to be a rather short day on set. Why, what is on that mind of yours?

Can we talk later? I have somethings I want to talk about

Alright, I can phone you when I'm done, another hour or so from now.

Sounds perfect I can't wait.

Allison sat down with a book and curled up into the sofa, a cup of tea on her end table. She started reading and when she had read for over two hours, she wondered why Tom hadn't called her yet. She looked at her phone, no missed calls, and no text. She told herself he had just gotten caught up in work, and knowing Tom, that was no stretch. She put her teacup in the sink and she went into the bathroom to do her hair. She had curled her hair and was beginning to put on makeup when her phone rang. She rushed to answer it, but was feeling a down when it wasn't Tom.

"Hey Stacy."

"Hey Allison, I hate to bother you on your night off, but my mom is at the hospital and I have to go meet her there. Is there anyway possible you could watch Sierra?"

"Of course, don't ever hesitate to call me. Is your mom alright?"

"Yes. She fell at work today, and they think she may have broken her arm."

"Ooo, painful, well would it be easier for me to come pick Sierra up?"

"No, I'm actually ready to walk out the door now, and you are on the way to the hospital."

"Alright, well I'll be here waiting."

Allison hung up and waited for Stacy to drop off Sierra. A few minutes later when Sierra arrived, she and Allison decided to watch a movie.

"So what do you want to watch little one?"

"I want to see a movie with you in it."

"Oh honey, you can't. You are too little to see the other movies I was in."

"But why?"

"Well the movies I have been in aren't out yet, and because they are made for grown ups, with a lot of bad words in them."

"Oh." Sierra looked at her feet as she sat on the sofa, and Allison couldn't stand her looking so sad.

"Let's see what they have on Netflix, how does that sound?" Sierra looked at Allison with a huge smile.

"Let's do it."

They sat down and Allison pulled up Netflix on the Xbox, finding a movie that Sierra wanted to watch, then she made them popcorn. They were nearly done with the movie as Allison's phone rang. She smiled seeing Tom's picture, answering it quietly.

"Hello."

"Hello darling, Sorry it took so long, we went to dinner after filming. Mr. Beaver says he cannot wait to meet you."

"It's alright, I have Miss Sierra here with me. We are just enjoying a movie." The little girl looked up at Allison with a big smile on her face.

"Then we watch another movie." Allison nodded at Sierra as she spoke to Tom.

"And the princess says we watch another movie next."

"Oh, well I see. So I am guessing we aren't able to talk then."

"No, we're fine, she is really good at tuning me out."

"Well what was it you wanted to tell me about."

"Have you been talking to Hannah?"

"Well she asked if she could get some advice from me. Is something wrong?"

"No, I mean she is mad at me. That's not your fault though, it's just that she said you told her that you wished I would leave Ben."

"I may have expressed my desire to be the one to make you happy, I hope I didn't say anything I shouldn't have."

"Not at all Thomas. I just wanted to hear it from you."

"Allison, you know how much you mean to me."

"And you mean twice as much to me. I can't wait to see you."

"Neither can I."

"Can you promise me one thing."

"What is that darling?"

"You save a bit of time for a karaoke battle?" She heard his sweet laugh, and it made her smile with happiness.

"Always for you my love."

"Perfect."

Allison and Tom talked for a while longer, until Sierra was hungry. Allison then hung up from him, making dinner for them. She then sat down on the sofa with Sierra reading a book to her. After a while, both Allison and Sierra were asleep on the sofa. Stacy woke up Allison when she called, saying she was on her way to pick up Sierra, but Allison let the girl sleep on the sofa until her mom arrived. After that Allison took a shower and went to bed, spending that night dreaming of not one but two men, and it was a scrumptious dream.
