Author's notes: This chapter is to introduce Jessica into the plan to break up Sam and Grace. It is also going to bring in an obstacle that will make their plan a little more difficult. This chapter is very short, but the next chapter is much longer. Please Read and Review. It would be much appreciated.
************************************************************************
Kay and Jessica talked for hours, getting to know each other. They had gotten so out of touch. Kay was able to tell that Jessica had a crush on Reese. She filed that away for later use. She could use that to kill two birds with one stone; she could get Reese off of her back and make her sister happy at the same time.
*** Early the next morning ***
To say that she was nervous would be a huge understatement. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to tell Ivy of the newest development in the plan. It didn't seem right to just go up to her and say 'Hey Ivy. I'm here to help you break up my parents marriage.' She didn't really have much of a choice, so that would have to be what she was going to have to do. By this time she had reached the front door and rung the bell.
"I've got it." Ivy wanted to make sure that she was the one to get the door. "Hello Kay, come on in." Ivy said distractedly. She was reading something and had yet to look up, so Jess cleared her throat to get her attention.
"Oh, hello Jessica. I wasn't really expecting you. What brings you here?" Ivy was completely baffled. She had no clue as to why the youngest Bennett was standing in front of her.
"Can I come in? Kay sent me with a message."
"Of course. I'm sorry. I don't know where my manners went."
"That's fine. Are we alone here? Because I doubt Kay would like it if we were overheard." She was whispering and looking around as if she thought that someone was watching their every move.
"Don't worry; nobody will disturb us. Now, what did Kay send you here for, and where is she? I don't mean to be rude but meeting her was very important." She paused as she tried to come up with an excuse as to why she would have to meet up with Kay. "We were going over ideas to help improve Harmony park. Sort of a community project." She knew it sounded lame the second it came out of her mouth, but it was all she could think of at the moment. By the smirk on the younger girl's face, she could tell that she wasn't the only one who thought it was lame.
"I would think that someone who lies as much as you do could come up with something better. By the way, Kay is telling people that she is working as your personal assistant. I just thought you should know, so your stories are consistent." She started chuckling at the stunned expression on Ivy's face.
"But she, you… I'm not sure what you are talking about. I don't know why you think I'm lying." She figured that denying anything would be the best way to avoid the subject of her association with Kay.
"Whatever, I'm here to help you. Kay is grounded and couldn't get away. She sent me so I could report back to her with all of the details that we work out today." Seeing that Ivy was still going to try and deny everything, she decided that she had to tell her all that she knew.
"Look, I know about your plan to break up my parents. I hate my mom just as much as Kay, so I want to help. It was Kay's idea to send me here in her place; I'm just going along with it. So what do you have to say to that?"
" Well, I'm wondering why everyone in this town thinks that Grace is such an amazing mother when both of her daughters are scheming to break up her marriage. Other than that, I'm only going to say 'Welcome to the team'." Ivy was glad to have some more help. Especially someone who wouldn't be suspected as much as Kay and herself would be.
"Great, now where should we start?"
"I think we should try to find a way to meet Kay somewhere a little bit public, so there is no suspicion. Her story works perfectly, and we can just explain that I needed a little more help; that's where you come in." She was already planning a way to get Kay out of the house.
Little did she know that they weren't alone; someone had heard the last part of their conversation and while they weren't sure what the scheme was this time, they were going to find out. Ivy wasn't going to ruin anyone else's life. The eavesdropper slipped out of the house as Ivy and Jessica continued their plans.
*** Later at the Bennett House ***
Jessica had just walked in and was confronted by a sight she had never expected to find.
