I stared at him completely dumbfounded. A nervous laugh came from my mouth. "I'm sorry, Wesley. I think I misheard you, did you say fiancé?"

"Yea."

"You're kidding, right?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" He replied with a serious face.

"How….when did this happen?"

"A few months after you left. I think he met her in a club or something. It was kind of whirlwind romance, one minute they're just dating and the next they're engaged. But to be completely honest, I don't think they'll ever make it to the altar."

"Why not?"

"Well, they've been engaged for over a year now and have yet to make an date or even any actual wedding plans. Not to mention the family isn't too crazy about her."

"Really now?" I felt some kind of relief when he said that. If the family didn't like her then they would probably do whatever they could to talk him out of it.

"Yea, they're pretty sure that she's only after his fame and money. You think Leland would learn by now. Almost every girl that he's dated turned out like that." He said before returning to the work at hand.

Well, he just needs a good girl…like me.

"Interesting…"

It was then that I heard voices coming from the back lot, signaling that the crew had returned from the hunt. Beth was the first to come through the door. She caught sight of me and pulled the sunglasses from her face.

"Do you need help with something, sistah?"

I let out an annoyed grunt, Ugh, had I really changed that much? "Beth, it's me, Reese."

"Ohmigod! Reese!" She ran towards me and gave me a big hug, "What are you doing here?" I again explained that I had decided to move back because I missed everything and everyone in Hawaii.

"Big Daddy! Tim, Duane Lee, Leland! Come see who came to visit us!" She yelled out the door.

"Bethy? What the hell are you yelling about?" Asked Dog as he walked through the door with the others.

"It's Reese, Big Daddy. She came back!"

I flashed a huge smile to everybody and again was smothered by hugs. I felt awkward hugging Leland considering the whole fiancé situation.

"Hey! Maybe we can finally go out now." He laughed

I gave him a surprised look. I was actually kinda shocked that he remembered that. I also couldn't help but feel a little bit angry with him for saying that. Why would he even bother asking?

"Maybe." I said flatly.

I felt Beth grab onto my arm and she then insisted that I had to come back to the house with them for dinner. That we had so much to catch up on. I told her that I had to head over to my new apartment and get a few things situated and then I would be over.

Later that night after dinner; Lyssa, Beth and I sat in the living room enjoying some red wine. We chatted and spent the majority of the night getting caught up on everything that had happened in the last two years. They told me how the charges against them from Mexico had been dropped and I told them about going back to school and working non-stop. Not so exciting compared to their lives.

"So…I hear that Leland's getting married."

I watched as the two of them eyed each other over the tops of the their wine goblets.

"Who told you that?" Lyssa asked.

"Wesley."

"Oh… Well, we're hoping it doesn't happen. Lani's a bitch, plain and simple. I don't even think she really likes Leland. She's just using him to get what she wants."

"Yea, Wesley told me that too."

"We need to get Leland to realize that she's an evil whore!"

We heard Beth choke on her wine, but then realized that she was trying not to laugh. This caused the two of us to start giggling as well.

"Well it's true! We need to get Leland and Reese together. I say we sabotage the engagement."

"Hey now! I don't want to be involved with something as drastic as destroying an engagement!." I told her

"Oh come on! You know you don't want Leland to get married and we know that we don't want Leland getting married to a complete bitch. He deserves somebody better, and I personally think that the better somebody could be you."

I bit my lip and thought about what Lyssa was saying. Did I really want to be apart of something so, well, mean? But the more I thought about it the more I realized that I did! I did want to be apart of it. I looked at Lyssa and slowly nodded my head.

"Ok, I'm in. But if Leland hates me forever then I'm holding you personally responsible." I laughed.

She smiled and laughed along with me, "Don't worry. He won't hate you. In fact, he'll probably thank you when he realizes that you saved him from completely miserable life. What do you say Beth, you in?"

"Hell yea!" She raised her wine glass, "To Operation: Lose the Bitch!"

Lyssa and I smiled at one another and raised our glasses as well.

To Operation: Lose the Bitch.
