Chapter 248

Smooth

Allison led John into her bedroom. They were both naked right now. She was ready to take it to the next step.

John developed second thoughts and was flooded with guilt and remorse. He wanted to be with Allison but he kept thinking of Cameron.

John looked around. He wanted to run. He'd wanted to do this so much with Allison but now he just wanted to get away. Here Allison was right in front of him. She was ready and wanted him. It was a dream come true. This was something that he'd wanted from the first moment he saw her….

He felt defeated and very foolish. He hated himself right now. He was afraid he was throwing away his future and his destiny. He was sure that Allison would probably hate him for this. They were moments away from completing their love. Now he was the one with 'cold feet'. He was very embarrassed with everything and how it all fell apart.

"I'm sorry." John said to Allison.

John started to put his clothes back on.

'Allison' moved to stop him.

It was clear to her that she'd lost him to 'Cameron'.

It was time to act. She spoke.

It hit John like a two by four across the face when she did.

"I love you, John, and you love me." She said.

John's head snapped up

"What?" John asked.

Those were Cameron's words.

"I love you, John, and you love me." She said again.

John tried to collect himself. This new turn of events was difficult to process. Was this really Cameron and had it been all along? He wanted that girl he met on the first day of school and here she was. That was who he was with! He needed to get this cleared up.

"Cameron?" John asked.

She smiled at him.

"I'm an infiltration unit." Cameron said. "I guess I finally pass."

John looked confused. He looked around.

"I don't understand. Where's Allison?" John asked.

Cameron knew the answer to that and the feelings and emotions behind it.

"She's where she wants to be. She's in the arms of her true love. She's with Vanna next door at the detail house." Cameron said.

John thought about how Bob told him not to worry about it earlier. He now understood why they deflected him away from the detail house. They didn't want him to know Cameron was playing 'Allison'.

John needed to ask anyway even though he already knew the answer.

"What about you and Vanna?" John asked. "It looked like you and her were…."

Cameron smiled. It was close. They'd both been ready to expand their relationship. They both decided to hang on to what they already had with the one they loved. There was always time to grow and explore at a later date.

"We decided to go get what we both wanted." Cameron said. "That was Allison and you."

John was still confused. Everyone wanted what they almost were able to have.

"I don't get it." John said.

Cameron could not really answer that one herself. She could only state the facts and her function over her personal desires.

"I don't either. I keep hurting you and I can't seem to stop. I do love you, John. I want you all to myself. I'm VERY jealous. I know the future will force me to 'share'." Cameron said. "I accept that for your protection. I don't WANT to but I KNOW I NEED to. I have to protect you, John. I must make sure you are protected no matter what the sacrifice is."

John didn't know what to say.

"You fooled me again." John said.

John really thought it was Allison this time. If he would have looked harder he would have seen the perfect skin, her sheath.

Cameron felt she'd thrown a few clues out there.

"I did tell you to LOOK at me and TOUCH me." Cameron said.

He was aware of that. He looked but it didn't click all the way. He believed that everything about Cameron was perfect.

"You are perfect, your skin is perfect. Everything about you is perfect." John said.

Cameron wanted to smile at that but she knew better than that. She still felt flawed both on the inside and out. It was the flaws on the inside that troubled her the most.

"I'm far from perfect. I think about half my sheath has been regenerated or replaced. Look at my right breast. It is slightly smaller than my left one. You can't tell by looking at it but I can. It was missing the nipple for months. I was sure it was not coming back after having been blown off a second time. My chip is damaged. I'm flawed in many ways."

John liked the honesty. He did not like the self criticism on her part. He loved her more than anything because of them.

"And I love all of them and everything about you." John said. "I really do."

Cameron still stood there naked.

She wanted to see if John knew how far he would have 'gone'.

"If Jesse would have been in her room, what would have happened?" Cameron asked.

John swallowed hard with that one. He wanted Jesse bad right then. He was sure he would have taken her. He did not think he could have stopped, especially if she would have been all over him.

"I think I would 'have'." John said. "I'm sorry. I wanted to. I won't lie. I wanted to be with her right then."

Cameron gave him her sly smile.

"You would have. I could feel it." Cameron said. "It was a good thing Gail took her out. It took away the temptation and what would certainly have followed.

John nodded. It was clear Cameron was one step ahead of him again. She was still manipulating others but in a good way sort of. It would probably still happen at some point anyway.

"What a 'coincidence'…." John said.

It all made sense to John now.

Cameron still stood there naked in front of him. She looked down at herself and then at John.

"Are you going to only look at me all day or do something about it…?" Cameron asked.

Cameron knew they were both ready. In fact she could see John was ready now that he KNEW it was her.

John took in her perfect naked form. There was no turning back now. It would have been impossible…. Cameron was too beautiful and so special to him.

They moved forward into each other's arms.

Right now this is where they wanted to be and were content with each other.

Holly drove around the block and returned to the safe house next door. She knew she was the 'odd man out'. It disturbed her so.

Cameron and Vanna arrived a few minutes before John and Bob. Vanna and Allison shared a tearful reunion and Cameron wanted to see how far John would 'go'. She was sure if Jesse would have been in that something would have happened. She'd asked Gail to go out with Jesse.

Gail understood the 'warning'. She was in no hurry to lose Jesse to John. She knew once Jesse was in John's bed that Cameron would make sure Jesse stayed there. There was no taking one of the girls away from Cameron.

Holly did not like any of this. She loved Allison. It distressed Holly that Vanna and Allison were lovers. They were the real pair and she was an interloper. She really understood how Cameron felt and why better now. She went out on patrol with Bob. She could not stand to hear Allison and Vanna 'together'. It stabbed her 'heart'.

Since Cameron was on her chip, there were many traces left behind. The fragments were all beautiful to find. Most of them anyway, some were not and bypassed Holly's firewalls.

There were times now that Holly thought of 'self termination'. It seemed that sometimes as the problems and heartache built up there must be something better. It seemed that escape into oblivion was where peace could be found. The thought of nothingness became quite comforting.

Bob walked with Holly on 'patrol'. He could see she was hurting. He did what he could to comfort her. He hoped he never developed 'feelings' like that. What a terrible way to terminate.

He felt the situation could be worse. He explained to Holly it was better to have Allison with Vanna, than John. He pointed out that once Allison was with John, Cameron would do whatever it took to keep her there.

Holly knew what that meant. She decided maybe Allison being with Vanna was not as bad as it could have been. She knew it would happen anyway. It always did, they'd been lovers for years. Holly knew she was the intruder. At THAT moment Holly felt she was the one trying to take someone from somebody. It made her feel bad about herself even more now. She knew this is how Cameron felt. It was very unpleasant.

Bob noticed Holly's hand started glitch and he took it in his hand.

They walked along silently like that.

Bob wanted to help Holly.

Holly knew Bob was trying to help her. It was Metal helping Metal, her own kind. It made Holly feel like less of a 'walking pile of junk or scrap metal'.

Maybe there were other avenues for her to explore. Not all relationships needed to be based on sex. If sex was the relationship, then there really was no relationship. Anyone could provide that. Not everyone could provide love.

The two long time lovers were where they wanted to be. It was with each other. It gave them some time to reflect on things and events. It allowed them to look at where they were in life right now.

Vanna looked at Allison with love in her eyes and in her heart.

"Allison, I've missed you so much." Vanna told her.

Allison looked back at her the same way.

"I've missed you, Savannah." Allison said. "…Vanna."

Vanna smiled when Allison said her name, her full name. It was the name she used when they first loved each other. She wanted to know the answers to the same questions that Allison did.

"What's going wrong with us?" Vanna asked. "It is just time?"

Allison spent hours mulling over those very questions. The answers always came back the same in the end.

"We have others we care about and love. They are close to us and we can turn to them easily. We do that instead of working through our problems like we needed to do before. We are weak and seek the comfort of others…. I don't regret it. We both need to be with someone." Allison said. "You have Jesse and I have Holly. We both love them dearly. No matter what, YOU are still my mate. You always will be."

The two girls kissed and embraced over that. It was what they both wanted. There were still the other issues and people to deal with.

"What about Jesse and Holly?" Vanna asked.

Allison did not see it as a problem if everyone understood how things worked and what their place was. What mattered in the end was protecting the future. That would involve a lot of sacrifice on everyone's part.

"Sometimes we have to love the one we are with when the one we want is not here." Allison said. "That is how our lives are. We love them too. We have the future to protect, not ourselves. We can't be selfish and must embrace the future."

Vanna understood that but still some things were different and disproportionate. She was very happy Allison was able to find her family and be with them. She could not, her parents were dead. She didn't want Allison to give up those precious things again. She'd already needed to do that once.

"I know you want to be with your family." Vanna said. "I understand that. I know you love Holly and I accept that, she is your lover and protector. Jesse has Gail as her lover and protector. I don't have anyone like that for me."

Vanna thought back to her parents. They were dead. Mrs. Weaver tried to be what she could to Vanna and Savannah but it was not the same. Vanna knew she could never have what Allison did now with her family. She would do the same thing if she could.

Allison saw how lonely and hurt Vanna looked. She wanted to do something to help her.

"You can have Jesse often but we both know she belongs to Gail." Allison said. "I will tell Cameron you are lonely."

Vanna didn't want to cause any problems. There seemed to be enough of those as it was. She appreciated Allison's willingness to help. As long as she 'belonged' to Allison, she would deal with any other issues.

"No, don't do that." Vanna said "As long as I know we still belong to each other, I can accept the rest."

Allison always knew something would come before everything else.

"Everyone sacrifices for John Connor." Allison said.

Vanna knew it was that and even bigger.

"We all sacrifice for the future." Vanna added.

The two girls looked at each other and loved each other. They did everything together and then to each other. It was when they worked on each other alone that they were best able to express their love for the other. Everything they did was for the other one at that point.

Vanna slowly took Allison to heaven several times. They liked to keep each other there a little longer than was necessary. It allowed them to squeeze out a little extra feeling.

Allison moved around and started in on Vanna again. She really liked where she was at and what she could see and feel.

"Damn that's smooth. I still need to get that done." Allison said, as she looked up along Vanna's flat stomach, through the valley of Vanna's breasts with her pink nipples to her smiling beautiful face.

Love and contentment filled the air.
