Melani looked at Bradin, then it dawned on her "Laura? Oh my God, Laura Owens?" she said

Laura was still in shock from the whole situation and didn't speak. "You got married?" she managed to spit out

Bradin walked over to her and gave her a hug "Yeah Laur, I fell in love and got married. I'm not exactly the same guy I used to be, some things have changed since I left Kansas"

"Some things?" she said, her eyes still wide open "That's not some, that's a lot Bradin. How could you do this to me? I came here to see you, to be with you, and you got married?"

Bradin pulled away from her "Whoa Laur, slow down. Yes, I did get married, because I fell in love, the real kind. And why did you come here?"

She looked at them "To be with you, but apparently that died." She turned to Mel "Keep him happy. He means the world to a lot of people in Kansas."

"I will" she said smiling "He means the world to me too"

Laura sized them both up, then walked out the door, shaking her head.

"Wow" was all Bradin could said as he sat down "What a day, huh angel?"

"Yeah" she said quietly, but she couldn't get over the feeling that Laura wouldn't just let the love of her life go.

James walked out of the Smoothie Shack on the pier when he heard his name being called. He spun around and saw a girl he seemed to vaguely recognize, but couldn't remember from where or why. Then it hit him "You came, I didn't think you would" he said

The girl looked at him "I said I would." She said "I'm Laura, it's nice to finally meet you" she said, holding out her hand

"James" he said taking it "Have you seen them yet?"

She made a gagging noise, "They're intoxicating" she said. "Its gross. Bradin and I were in love, and he acted like all we had was a summer fling. We lost it to each other, and now he's married. Not going to last. He belongs back in Kansas with me and his friends. And I'm going to make him realize it, and then take him back with me"

James smirked "And then I'll get Mel all to myself, the way she's supposed to be." They both smiled

Melani rolled her eyes as she started making dinner "Do you have a bad feeling about this?" she asked "Or is just me being paranoid"

Bradin looked at her and smiled "You being paranoid babe. I don't want Laura. I want you. I married you. Its going to be fine. I promise. I wont let anything happen to us." He got up and kissed her. "Don't worry about it"

Mel looked at him and smiled, then kissed him too. No matter what though, she couldn't get that idea out of her head. Troubled waters were ahead
