It is morning time, and Heather was eating breakfast at the table with Gwen and Courtney. There was an awkward silence between the former Amazon members, but Gwen started to speak, "So, it is interesting that as soon as Duncan switched with Courtney, we won the challenge. I wonder if that is luck."

Courtney smiled a little bit, clearly flattered by the compliment, "Well, thank you. I am glad that I am seen as a valuable player on the team, and not just a newbie. I am sure all of that arguing with Duncan did not help the team either."

"Duncan... I know you don't like me right now, but I finally understand why you had such trouble with him. I did not want him to come on, because we were arguing and fighting so much back at home, and I did not want to fight in front of the cameras," explained Gwen somberly.

Heather could not care less, and was tuning herself out of the conversation. She found it weird that Alejandro was not at the table, and it is weird that it felt more off without him at the table. She picked her eggs, but from the smell of cologne, she knew that Alejandro entered the room, and sat right beside her. She looked at him, and saw that he was darker, "Wow Jalepeno. How did you get so dark so quick? Are you trying to be the skin color of Justin?"

Alejandro had to admit that he liked the nickname Jalepeno, because he is definitely spicy, but was not that thrilled with the rest of her sentence. He ignored her completely, not even looking at her, before eating his eggs. He directed his attention to the two other ladies, "So, how are things with the two of you? I know that you two were becoming friends in World Tour, but then things went south. Now that Gwen and Duncan are pretty much finished, how are things with you two?"

"There is nothing between us. Gwen ruined my relationship, but I am starting to get over it. She is alright... I guess," Courtney mumbled, still trying to have her dignity.

Gwen's phone started to ring, and she saw that it was Duncan, "Ugh, he is calling me," before picking up, "What do you want? You have not had the time to really ask me what is wrong, and why I have been mad at you." There was some yelling coming from Duncan's side of the phone, and the goth got up to walk off, "You know what, I am not doing this right now. She could fucking care less about you, and you have been really irking me since the abortion. No Duncan, stop with this."

The three of them were completely shocked from what they heard of Gwen's conversation. Heather looked at Alejandro, and found it weird that he did not even look at her, "It is interesting that you care so much about Gwen's well being. It is like you like her or something. Bad taste, I have to admit."

The spaniard did not look at Heather, and continued eating his breakfast, "Courtney, I know this may sound sudden, but do you want to go on a walk later?" He looked from the corner of his eye, and saw that Heather was definitely bothered.

Courtney looked at the two, and knew that there was always something complicated about them, "I have to re-write a bunch of lists. And I do not want to get involved in your little relationship. You also used me, and I am not letting that happen again, so goodbye," stating her answer, before getting up to leave.

The bullhorn was heard, and Chris was still weeping in a happy state, "I... I miss... Anyways, campers. The union has updated a lot of things this season, and one of them are contact with family members. They want yall to see... send letters to your family members and friends, since they think that it is the least we can do from all of the... "so called torture" we inflict on you. All 9 of you must report to the Craft Services tent to write a letter to them... Just get this over with."

The 9 contestants entered the tent, and the weird smell from a few days ago was still there. Courtney could not help but complain and stick up her nose, "Ugh, we still smell the sweat and juice from the punk couple's "love making" session."

Gwen immediately debunked that, like she was in complete disgust from the idea, "That is completely preposterous Courtney. Duncan and I haven't do... I mean, we would never do it on a show. I wish you would drop this."

Heather walked across the room, and sat beside him on the couch. They grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, and started to write. She felt an earring poke her on the back of her ass, and got up, "OUCH! What in the hell was.. .was..", immediately stopped complaining when she noticed whose earring it was. The silver, masculine earring could be nothing but Alejandro's, and she immediately grabbed it and sat down.

"I wonder what that was about?" wondered Zoey.

Sierra did nothing but smirk, fully knowing what it was, "It is Heather. What she thinks are secrets... are really not secrets."

Alejandro was too busy writing his letter, which stated, "Mi madre querida "brillante" y el padre; I am being forced to write you two a letter from Chrust McLean. Well...I know you two want me to win the season, because I owe you two a bunch of money for getting injured, which I did not do myself. Why should I have to pay you back for the medical bills? It is natural for you know...parents...to take care of children in their time of need. Anyways, I am playing these people like a fiddle. They honestly think that I am still this crippled man. Once I win, I can guarantee that you will be rid of me living in your house." He felt her touch his arm, only to ignore those soft hands.

She was getting aggravated with him ignoring her, "Listen. I know you are for some reason trying to not speak to me, but I found...um...your earring, from...our encounter here," passing him his earring.

He looked at the earring, and did not even realize that he left it here after him and Heather had their way with one another, "Uh, thank you seniorita."

"And plus, you keep on mumbling about your family issues under your breath." Heather could relate to having careless, and distant family members that you would rather not want to deal with, "I am equally as annoyed as you about having to talk to the family that you want almost nothing to do with."

He never really knew much about her family, since she never mentioned them on any interviews he watched and read of her in between seasons, and she never mentioned them in conversations. Alejandro could not help but slowly eye her writing, which showed, "Mother... Father... others, you better not have touched my stuff to sell, like you all tried to sell my room in TDI, my wigs on TDA, and do NOT even get me started on the crap you tried to do in TDWT. What I WILL say is that none of you better touch my bank account. I am gonna use that money to leave home after I get an appearance fee from TDAS. Please do not sell any stories about me to the press to leech off of me and pretend like any of you care. I am sick of you slandering me to make a damn buck."

Alejandro unconsciously put his hand on her in sympathy, "Wow, that is rough. No wonder why you never mention your family. It is definitely rough to have your family sell stories to the press."

Heather was caught in his tracks that he was eavesdropping on her, though a part of her deep inside liked the small sense of attention he paid to her, "It is somewhat reassuring to know that you still have some interest in me, Aledevil."

"Yes, yes I was a little devil, right in that spot that Duncan is writing his letter on the wall on, right after Jo's elimination," he grumbled lowly enough for her to only hear.

His adversary immediately got up, and made a sly comment, "You know, I am surprised that no one realized that the earrings you have on don't match. One is grey, and the other is silver," before walking out. Almost all of the others turned to Alejandro, whose eyes widened, and instantly took out his grey earring to replace it with the silver one he left in the Craft Services.

Alejandro was in the hot tub with Gwen and Courtney, with each of them having a glass of wine. The tension is clearing between Courtney and Gwen, but Alejandro was only with them to purposely bother Heather, and for her to be isolated. He looked through the window, and saw her eating at the kitchen by herself.

Gwen was still interested with Alejandro's presence, "Uh...this is very odd. No offense Al, but why are you here? You have never taken such interest in either of us, unless it is for a motive."

The spaniard pretended to be offended, and put his hand over his heart, "Gwen. I know that you are going through a lot of grief and stuff, but it is not good to retaliate at innocent people. I want to get to know the two of you."

"It is almost insulting that you think your TDWT gameplay is going to work the second time around," mocked Courtney, as her and Gwen shared a laugh, "Did Heather shoot you down again? You would be all over her on a normal day. What happened?"

He put his hair in a ponytail, as he responded to them, "Things are... strained to say the least between Heather and I. Her energy is extremely negative, and I don't want to be around that. Alejandro is all about the fun, and Alejandro is sick of these...typical antics of hers. I am learning that she is really a typical, basic woman."

"About damn time," Gwen chimed, as the three of them laughed (though Alejandro was forcing a laugh).

The queen bee saw that she was being isolated and shunned, and she was not going to stand for this. Heather went to her room, and pulled out a bunch of flashy swimsuits, "Hmmmmmm, I don't think I wear baby blue. And it is sexy." She soon switched into the tight, revealing blue two piece bathing suit, and put on a bedazzling set of earrings, before looking in the mirror, "I really am a good looking girl, and blue really does look good on me."

She walked back downstairs to the kitchen, and entered outside, to have everyone's eyes on her. "Hey everyone," Heather greeted, before she entered the hot tub. There was no other seat but beside Alejandro, who was trying hard not to look at her, "So... what is the conversation about?"

Courtney and Gwen had the exact same thought, as the both knew that whenever Heather and Alejandro are together, some foolishness happens, so they both spontaneously got up and out of the hot tub, leaving the two. Heather turned to Alejandro, and saw the strained restraint his eyes had, trying not to look at her, "How are you Alejandro? I have to say, it is weird that you are ignoring me. Did your ego take a hit? Did your family tell you to not act like a fool? You have been a lot more emotional this season. You are supposed to be grateful that you were not sent home instead of Sam, but now you are more bitter than ever."

"I am grateful, and I do not see why you would care," he carelessly commented, before he rested his head on his hands that are behind him. There was an awkward silence between them, and noticed that her hands were touching his thigh, and a foot of hers were touching his calves.

Heather wanted to get a reaction out of him, and still had a weird interest in his legs ploy. She was grasping it, as she asked, "Alejandro, I have to say that you are getting weaker. Well, there is still muscle in it, but you are losing a lot of your definition. Not working out your legs for days is a bad idea in the long run."

He removed her hands from his legs, and immediately missed her touch. Heather was not done speaking to him yet, "So, what do you think about the swimsuit? Doesn't the baby blue just perfectly match and makes my kind of pale skin glow? And I have to say, these dangly earrings are the perfect accessories I need for this swimsuit. Perfectly tight, fitting, and revealing, without looking like a tramp."

Something about her mind games were getting him a bit annoyed, but he could not stop himself from looking at her once he turned to face her. She was simply dazzling, with the moonlight hitting her curvy form, and her diamond earrings, and the semi smirk she has almost drew him in. Alejandro realized that he should not let her distract him, and pulled away from her, "My legs are completely fine and strong by the way... and... I could not care less about your... tacky and tasteless swimsuit," getting out of the pool, and fixing his speedo to not reveal his huge bulge.

She watched his ass and back muscles shift and move as he walked away from her, cackling, "WOW, people are really that intimidated by me. Oh well."

Alejandro was in the gym the next morning, using a leg exercising machine. Heather's criticism bothered him more than he would want to admit. He pushed his legs out on the machine to get his legs more toned, and could definitely feel the fatigue in his legs, but he continued with the fast pace, "Ahhhhhhh. I miss the feeling of a good gym."

He heard the door enter, and immediately started to freak out, so he pretended like he was struggling with the leg exercises, and in perfect time, for Sierra (who just entered) to not hesitate. The purple haired girl came to the fun for some info, and sat in front of him, "Hey Alejandro. How are you doing?"

"I am fine Sierra... how are you," he asked, knowing that Sierra is the type to speak to someone for a specific person, and to be nosey.

She pulled out her notebook, as she started the conversation, "As you know, I am the girl on here who has all of the information, and the wise advice, and I wanted to help you, and to help you, I need more information. And I am sure that you know that I know some of the info that you do not want anyone to know."

Alejandro rolled his eyes, "Like what?"

"Well I do know that you and Heather had sex right after Jo's elimination ceremony. I know that your legs are quickly recovering, and I do know that there was a so called fight between you two about texting one another?" Sierra questioned, though she already knew the answer. "I thought you would be furious with the trashiness and the disgusting Heather; the girl who single-handedly destroyed your body to almost no return, and the one who put you though all of that pain from the incessant surgeries. Tell me about that?" Sierra questioned with a smirk on her face.

He took his hair out of the ponytail it was in, and bit his lip in irritation, knowing that Sierra was right on all of the facts, "Well, she is not a monster... or at least in the way you are portraying it."

She started to cackle from the innuendo behind his comment. "OOOHHHHH. Would you tell me the positions you had her in?" she asked, only for him to give her an extremely dirty look, so she changed the topic, only to ramble, "Okay, I guess I went too far with that one. I had reports from my extensive research on her in TDI and TDA, and she is the harlot that I thought she was. So tacky of her, like really. And the way she has treated production over the years. That monster better be lucky that she is even on this show, and that production is willing to work with her. There is no way in HELL that I would forgive the disgusting bitch who pushed me down a volcano to severely injure me, and..." which she got cut off by the angry Alejandro.

"SHUT UP. She is not a bitch, she is not a monster, she is not a harlot, and she is not the mess you are trying to make her out to be," he angrily lashed out at the nosy Sierra. He started to inhale and exhale extremely loudly, "She is not a bad person, and whatever the hell you are trying to get out of me is not going to come out of my mouth. Having AMBITION in this game is not a bad thing, and if you had that instead of lusting over a scrawny 4 foot man you are calling Cody, than you would know that. I do NOT want you to ask me about her, or to bash her in front of me, okay?"

The amazon-like woman was taken aback, but smiled from the way he defended the woman he was infatuated with. She got up, and grabbed her stuff with a smile on her face, "Wow... you really have it bad for her," before she leaves the gym.

The 4 Villainous Vultures are in the living area, bored out of their mind, and clearly waiting for the challenge to start. Courtney was starting to get cranky, "When is he going to start the challenge? It has been 2 days."

"You actually want us to do the challenge? Figures. Maybe you just need to learn how to relax," the queen bee replied in annoyance to Courtney's complaining.

Alejandro grunted, and wanted to annoy Heather, "Don't worry Courtney. She is just a bitter person, who likes to have the team carry her, like we have been doing since the first challenge," which he got when Heather gave him an irritated look.

Gwen was starting to get really annoyed with the dynamic of her team, "Okay, seriously. Whatever issues this team has, we need to clear through, so we can continue to win. Courtney, I am sorry for everything I have done to you, whether it was intentional, or unintentional. And Heather and Alejandro, I am sick of your damn antics, so you two should either hook up, agree to not hook up, and find some sort of resolution."

Heather started to laugh right out of nowhere, causing everyone to look at her, "Are you serious Gwen? You are playing Dr. Phil now? There is no issue between Alejandro and I. He is ignoring me for whatever reason that I do not care to find out about, but I am fine with it, which I totally am."

He formed an arrogant smirk on his face from her irritation of being ignored, and only went with it, "I do agree with Gwen that you and her should make up. TDWT has been such a long time ago, and we all worked so well together during the last challenge."

"Please stop acting like you give a crap about either of them, and their non existent friendship," snapped Heather, completely sick and tired of his faux interest in these two other women. All of them looked at her, taken aback by her behaviour. "All we need to focus on is winning, and nothing else."

"Your erratic behaviour has gotten so tiring Heather. You need to be more positive about everything. You have so much going for you, and harping on with this huge negative energy only does more harm than good. I would have thought you would have lightened up after Jo left," the green eyed man assured Heather in that passive aggressive, but patronizing tone.

Whenever those smoldering green eyes look at her, a deep part of her grows warm and wet, "I am all fine and well without you putting on that fake facade, and I am surprised that you paid enough attention to me since Jo left."

"I have more important shit to deal with than this," Gwen muttered, right before she got up and left the table.

Alejandro threw right back at her, "I paid attention to every single part of you after Jo left, and I do not need you tracking me into paying attention to you all of the time," before winking at her.

Courtney got up to walk away, as he was getting antsy to see someone, "I wonder if Scott is back yet. We should be starting the challenge soon enough."

As soon as Courtney was out of sight, she hit his arm, "Why in the hell would you mention that Lameojandro."

He got up to go to the kitchen, and went to the fridge to see seasoned, uncooked steaks, which he bit his lip at, "Delicious", before thinking to himself, "probably as delicious as Heather's most moist parts. A gentleman should not think like that, but whatever." Alejandro turned on the inside grill, and took out the steaks. There was silence between the two of them, as she just sat there and watched him cook.

Author's Note

There was no Scott in this chapter, because he was in Boney Island. It is interesting how Courtney and Gwen are kind of like supporting characters, and there is a lot more that is being known about Gwuncan as well. Alejandro is trying to ignore her to bother her, throw her off, and for the good of his gameplay, but he clearly can't ignore her forever. The next chapter will contain more smut...most likely. Eggspects will be in Chapter 9 just to let yall know ahead of time.
