"I didn't think I hurt you that badly." CJ smirked while sitting up in bed.

"I'm ok." Toby tried convincing himself. He rolled over and kissed CJ again. She laid herself down under Toby and kissed him harder.

"Ouch...ouch..." Toby rolled over and started to hit his head on the bed frame. Over and over.

"Toby." CJ busted up laughing.

"I'm going down stairs." Toby growled.

"Oh, honey come back." CJ stopped laughing a little.

"Let's just cuddle." Toby started to walk back when CJ busted up laughing again.

"I'm leaving." Toby grabbed his pillow and walked out.

"Toby. Come back honey." CJ said between laughs. Toby walked down to the kitchen and started to make a sandwich. Then he heard a knock at the door, but it was light so CJ didn't hear it. Toby went over and opened it.

"Hi." Ann stood there wearing nothing but a teddy.

"Ann...uhh..." Toby couldn't say anything.

"You like?" Ann smiled.

"You have to go, I can't do this..." Toby started but was caught off guard by Ann grabbing him and kissing him. "Wait!" Toby whispered.

"Come one Toby. You know you want this."

"No, what I want is laying in my bed upstairs. I've gone through everything to get here, and you're not going to..." Ann pushed Toby down on the couch and jumped on top of him.

"Oh God!" Toby screamed as loud as he could.

"I know Toby." Ann kissed him even more.

"Oh God!" Toby screamed while she added more pressure. Toby shut his eyes so tight, trying not to think about the pain.

"Toby, what's wrong?" CJ asked as she ran down the hall.

Could he tell her? No. He could absolutely not tell her that he had just dreamt that Ann Stark was trying to make love to him. The very thought of it made him sick to his stomach.

"Just a bad dream," he said, his voice rather shaky.

"Toby? Tell me, please." She knew him too well.

He sighed, "I had this nightmare that I was in the kitchen, and Ann Stark snuck up behind me and tried to make love to me." There were tears in his eyes. He felt as if he were betraying CJ.

She just sat there, speechless. "You dreamt about Ann Stark?"

"Yes. CJ, I am sorry. I didn't mean to, it's just with all that happened today, I--"

"No, don't, please." She got up and started to walk to their room.

"CJ?" He got up as well and followed her. When he got to their room, he saw her suitcase out. She was putting some clothes in it, her toothbrush, hairbrush, and all of her necessities. "CJ, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing, Toby? If all you're going to do is think about her, then maybe we shouldn't be together." Tears began to form in her eyes.

"CJ, the woman means nothing to me, nothing at all!"

"She obviously does if you're dreaming about her. And how the hell could you not tell me about you and her being engaged?" Her eyes were red with fury and blue with sadness.

"CJ please don't leave. I love you, I need you. Derek...What about him?"

"I'll make sure to visit him."

This was all happening to quickly. He had to be dreaming. "Please, CJ, don't go. I love you."

She zipped up her suitcase and walked downstairs to the garage. "I'm sorry Toby, but if you're not going to be completely honest with me, then I don't know how this relationship can work." She opened the trunk and put her suitcase in. She then opened the driver's side door to her car. "Goodbye Toby. I do love you, but it just won't work. I'm sorry." She kissed his cheek and got into her car and drove away. Toby just stood there, stunned.

CJ decided that she didn't want to loose Toby that easy, so she decided to go straight to the horses mouth. Ann Stark.

Back at Toby's house...

Toby ran back in and picked up the phone and dialed the only number he could think of.

"Sam Seaborn." Sam picked up.

"Sam, it's Toby. Look don't ask any questions. Just get over here now. I need you to watch Derek while I'm gone."

"What?" Sam was still half asleep.

"I'm leaving now, you can get here in five minutes. Hurry." Toby slammed down the phone and ran out with his car keys in hand. He knew Sam would be there any minute, so he left. Two minutes later, a confused Sam got to Toby's house.

Ann Stark's house...

"Who is it?" Ann screamed at the banging coming from her door. She opened it slowly, but CJ kicked herself in. "What the hell CJ?"

"It's time for you and me to have a little chat." CJ screamed.

"What..."

"You and Toby."

"What about us?"

"When was the last time you two were together?"

"Should I say last night?" She smirked.

"I'm not kidding!" CJ screamed.

"Ok, it's been years. I just try to get him back sometimes. Like today. But he pushed me away because of you." Ann answered. "He loves you CJ. Why aren't you home with him anyway?"

"Because..." CJ stopped and remembered Toby telling her that he loved her and didn't want Ann. "You came onto him today?"

"Yes, and if it makes you feel better. He turned me down flat because his love for you."

"Thanks Ann." CJ smiled and ran out.

"What the hell just happened here?" Ann asked herself.

CJ drove home as quickly as she could. When she got there, she saw Sam's car. "What the..." She walked into the house.

"Ahhh!" Sam screamed.

"Shhh!" CJ hissed. "It's just me. What are you doing here?"

"That's what I've been asking myself all night, ever since I got here. Toby, he just up and left when I got here."

"Damn."

"What's going on between you two?"

She shook her head. "Nothing. It's nothing, really."

Toby's car....

He had called all the hotels in town, he had called Josh. She wasn't there. "What the hell." He dialed his number.

The house....

"Hello," CJ answered.

"CJ!" Toby said. "You came back!"

"Geez, Toby you sound like Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" when Toto came back from the evil woman, Ms. whatever.

"I'm coming home now. We'll talk." He hung up and drove home.

TBC...
