A few days later

The groundwork had been set down over the past week or so. Ebony, Siva, and Java were already placing small doubts in the minds of Jay, Trudy, and Tai-san... however tonight would the finale the thing that broke the camels back so to speak. Ebony and Martin had did the groundwork on their pairing practicing wherever they could and seen by everyone but Trudy and Jay. They didn't want them knowing about their "relationship" just yet. However, incase one to doubt it they made sure Amber had seen them kissing in action, they also choose to keep Zoot identity hidden- he was still appearing as Martin- his look would be revealed that night.

It was the night of the big games and Ebony found herself walking towards the beach knowing Jay would be there based on the conversation she overheard, Trudy was of course seen with him.

She watched from a far away spot as Java and Martin came entering from the other side talking back and forth to seem innocent. She smiled as she watched the two pairs begin to run into each other.

Java made sure she ran smack into Jay.

"Oh I'm so- Jay?!" Java said pretending to be shocked.

"Java? Nice seeing you with..." Jay said looking at the guy talking to her.

He had never seen this guy before he had long blonde hair that was braided with the weirdest outfit Jay had ever seen.

Trudy however seemed to recognize him, "Martin?!"

"The name is Zoot"

"Zoot?" she said looking at him oddly.

"Yes, the name Martin no longer suits me," he said coldly trying to seem distant and disinterested in Jay's view- he would strike later when the boy toy was gone.

Somehow "Zoot" knew this would get her- the coldness- something she wasn't used to. He was right she looked upset- for the first time ever.

"What's wrong upset that I'm not hanging over your every whim princess?" he asked.

Trudy eyes flashed, "Can I speak to you alone for a minute?" she said looking right at Zoot.

He nodded motioning for her to follow.

Jay looked at Java who had an amused look on her face.

"What?" he said.

"I think I just saw jealously in her eyes," Java said with a smirk.

"Of what?"

"Me"

"Why would she be jealous of you?" Jay asked.

"'Cause her baby's daddy was seen with me- it's obvious she still wants him," Java exclaimed.

"She doesn't like him that way- she said so herself," Jay said shaking his head.

"Funny who are you trying to convince of that- me or yourself?" Java replied.

"And you don't care, I mean you were seen with him, is he a boyfriend?" he asked.

"Of course not. I'm with Ram, he's Ebony's boyfriend actually- we were going to meet her here," Java said distantly.

Jay looked at her oddly, before he could reply he froze when in shock when he saw....

Same time (Zoot, Trudy)

"What the hell is your problem Martin you acting off," Trudy said grabbing him by the shoulders as they moved over to the pier.

"None of your business. You used me- and now I'm out for revenge on the world. You, Bray- everyone else," he announced.

"And you plan to use HER to help? I've heard stories about Java Rafael- she's heartless- do yourself a favour- get another girlfriend and drop this- this isn't you!" she replied.

"How do you know who I am- what do you know about me beyond being Bray's brother? All you ever did was have eyes for him anyway," he shot back angrily.

"That's not true, you were a good guy- just not someone that was dateable," Trudy replied.

"Oh but someone you can sleep with, I see how it is- you really are a witch," "Zoot" snapped.

Her mouth shot open, "What is your problem?" she demanded darkly.

"My problem? You're my problem! You used me, abuse me, left me for him, and then crawling to a scumbag like Jay when Bray wouldn't give you the time of day- letting him get to my daughter. You're the problem here Trudy not me," he announced.

"I don't know who the hell you are anymore," she said angrily trying to walk off before grabbed her.

"Nah this isn't over yet," Zoot said.

"And what are going to do- fix your problem?" she demanded.

Zoot said nothing he roughly pulled back in front of him and before she could so anything kissed her wildly.

Trudy had been in visible shock she tried to pull away but then before she knew it- she was kissing him back- willingly.

Ebony smiled now it was her cue to enter she got up and started heading in there direction trying to avoid looking at the couple so it looked like she had no idea what was unfolding- however she had to try her hardest to keep the smile off her expression and swing in her step.

She faced them and then the acting started.

"ZOOT? HOW COULD YOU- I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME," she screamed trying to look as upset and shocked as possible.

It worked.

Right away Zoot pulled away trying to look upset, "OH GOD EBONY! I'm so sorry baby"

"Baby? Baby? Baby nothing! I hate you- how could you do this?" she cried running off.

Zoot then pretended to look conflicted looking from Trudy to Ebony and back again before running after Ebony.

Jay had seen the entire unfold however it was the look in Trudy's eyes that interested him more- she looked thoroughly upset- but not from the kiss- from the fact that Zoot had gone after Ebony.

Trudy was still touching her lips in shock when Jay caught up to her.

"You really do still love him..." he said slowly looking at her.

Trudy eyes widened, "Jay..."

"No, I don't want to hear this right now- I have to go," he replied running off. He needed to get away and he needed that a very minute- or else.

Trudy was too busy crying to notice the smirk coming from Java as she watched Jay run in the same direction Ebony had. Now Java ran off to go help Siva, Ebony would be on her own from here.

Ebony had continued running until she reached the closest bench by the parking lot she then stopped and sat down trying to hold in the laughter however when Zoot finally reached her the laughing came.

Zoot smiled, "That was excellent- you're good"

"Thanks I know," she replied in between fits of laughter.

"All right, hurry get yourself together Jay should be coming this way an minute now since his car is right over there- I'm going to get outta here- can you get home okay?" Zoot asked.

"I can take a cab- just go already," Ebony replied starting her fight of tears again.

Zoot nodded and took off in the other direction to where his car was hidden running at a fast pace to avoid getting seen by Jay.

Jay came speeding towards wanting to just get outta there when he noticed Ebony sitting on the bench pretending to cry.

Jay came and sat down, "I'm sorry," he said to her.

"I'm sorry you too," Ebony replied letting the crying fade slightly.

"I didn't know you and he..."

"We wanted to keep it ourselves we were worried it might upset Trudy," she replied.

"Did you know she still wanted him?" Jay asked shocked.

"We thought she might, I tried to tell you that night I kissed you. I just kissed you as sort of a wake up call- but you didn't get the hint. I tried my hardest a few other times too. I knew she only she had eyes for him- that's why she kissed him earlier," Ebony said in between sobs.

"I can't believe I was really that dense- everyone knew but me," Jay said shocked.

"No you're not- she was just good at lying to you," Ebony whispered.

Jay looked at her, "Do you really love him?" he asked.

"More than anything," she replied seriously referring to Jay though he thought she had meant Zoot, of course.

"You deserve better than that hopefully you'll meet someone else like him but better," Jay replied.

"Thank you- so are you going to be okay?" she asked.

"I have no idea right now to be honest. I know our relationship isn't going to work but I'm not the type to just walk away unless she wants me too and she realises she really wants him," Jay said.

Ebony looked at him, "If she was smart- she'd do her damnest to make sure it worked with you," she replied.

"Yes but I have a feeling it won't go that way," Jay said sadly.

"Either do I," Ebony whispered under her breath hiding her smile that was slightly showing.

"Can I take you home?" Jay asked.

"What about Trudy?"

"She took her own car," he replied.

Ebony smiled lightly, "Sure that would be nice," she answered.

A little bit later

Siva was sitting at the virtual gaming zone, knowing Ram was sick. She had invited Tai-san to play her knowing she'd drag Lex along; however the extra was missing- where the hell was Java anyway.

Just then, Java came bolting in.

"Sorry- the thing with Ebony took longer than we hoped," she replied.

"What happened?" Siva asked.

"Martin decided to go on a rant last minute causing a minor delay in the plan," Java explained.

Siva smiled, "Good, he deserved that right," she said noticing Tai-san approaching.

"It's show time,' Siva whispered.

Java nodded running off to the other side of the room.

Tai-san entered and without fail, in stepped Lex, looking like his usual sexy self. Siva felt herself melting as Tai-san approached her.

"Hey- hope you don't mind I dragged Lex along- ready?" she asked sweetly.

Siva nodded while her eyes shifted, motioning for Java to step in.

"Oh Tai-san- great, a real virtual champion is here- Siva here lost to me so badly yesterday my faith in her skill is shattered and since Ram is gone- can you fill in for him? I could really use a sparring partner?" Java said with a very fake sweetness.

Tai-san looked at her and Siva for a second her eyes narrowed some, trying to figure out what their game was, "I was going to play with Siva..." she began.

"Well you brought Lex, I can always play him again while you go play Java," Siva suggested in a sweet tone that matched Java's.

"How about Java you go play Lex?" Tai-san suggested.

Lex and Java sent each equal glares at the same time.

"How about not?" Java said darkly.

Tai-san sighed, "All right lead the way," she said, looking at Java, knowing she would look suspicious if she turned her offer down.

Siva smiled, "Have a seat Lex," she replied. Not sure if replied is the right word, because no one said anything first.

Lex smiled back and joined her, "So how have you been?" he asked.

"Just fine- let's talk about you"

The two then began a conversation where Siva did the best she could making Tai-san look like his boss and slave driver that she would never treat a guy like him that way and it seemed to work- she could feel Lex responding.

"Well enough chatting let's have a round boxing," Siva said putting the helmet back on.

Lex looked at her, "You're going down this time," he replied.

"Oh really?"

"Yea, ready?"

"Whenever you are cowboy," she replied.

Lex looked at her and smirked when the game began- it went straight to the end when it ended in a perfect duel; afterwards both took off their helmets. Siva did a mental timing- Java should be about done with Tai-san now, she really needed to lay the flirting on thick if they were going to make the time frame the two sisters had set out.

"Not bad cowboy getting better"

"Hmph, I'll get you next time," Lex said.

"Will you?" Siva challenged.

"Yea, I think I will," he replied moving up till he was practically touching her.

"Think you're slick, don't you?"

"I am, and I'm good looking too," Lex replied.

Siva matched his stance, "Well then why don't you prove you're so hot then Cowboy," she said.

"Fine, I will," he said grabbing her and kissing her.

He kissed with her such force that Siva felt herself moaning slightly hoping that this plan would work. The two began an assault of their mouths when, after what seemed forever they heard a loud scream.

"LEX, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Tai-san yelled.

Lex froze, turning around slowly after he stopped kissing Siva.

"Hi babe..."

"Don't you even babe me- first Zandra, now HER, what the hell are thinking? That's it Lex, I've had it, I'm outta here," she said storming off.

Siva tried to keep her smile in, while Java's smirk flashed.

Lex looked at her and back to Siva and back again- however, unlike Martin- he didn't move a muscle to chase after Tai-san instead he looked over at Siva, "Well that was eventful, don't you think?"

To be continued....
