I don't own Reba or any of the character in this story right now. They belong to the writers of the REBA TV show.
I know that I've been gone for awhile, but I've been busy studying. My homework this semester is project-based and takes awhile. I want to let you readers know that this story is important to me. Okay, it's back again!
The next scene came on. A party was in full swing. The camera zooms through the busy room to another room. Reba was talking to Lori Ann, who was holding the camera. "So tell everyone the story of how you are running off to marry Mike," Lori Ann teased.
"After Mike proposed, we went to my house. We went up to my bedroom. We were about to have ring-a-ding when my parents showed up followed by Brock and Terry. Mike told my dad that he wanted to marry me. My dad tried to throw him out of the house. I packed up a suitcase and followed him outside. He was so romantic. He asked me to marry him right away in Las Vegas. I've been saving for my wedding in my savings for so long. I convinced him that we should get ready and do it right so we're getting married in a few days in Vegas with our friends to share it with. I'm still mad that Mike asked Brock to be the best man, but at least I'll have you as my maid of honor. We've been living in his apartment over his uncle's bar. We've already started our life together and tonight is our engagement party," Reba explained.
"You haven't started your life together in the way that counts," Lori Ann responded.
"We're sleeping together every night. We're just not having ring-a-ding. He wants us to wait until we're married so it can be special for us. We're going to live happily ever after and have lots of babies. I hope that Brock doesn't ruin this for us," Reba interjected.
"He's got a crush on you, you know. Terry thinks that he wants you for himself," Lori Ann revealed.
"No!" Reba's hand flew up to her mouth. "This means war. I'm done being nice to him. He is not going to try to tear up my dreams and get away with it!" Reba fumed. Reba's face filled with scorn. "I'm going to take care of this. I'm going to mess with him so bad that he never wants anything to do with me again. I'm going to film him a message that you will play for him later and then I'm going to go out there and mess with his head so bad. I want you to play this message back for him just before the wedding. He'll be neutralized for sure."
"What are you going to do?" Lori Ann explained.
"I'm going to flirt with him and then shut him down. I need to let him know that there's nothing he can do to separate me from Mike ever. The message needs to be delivered so cruelly that there is no way that he will ever want me again," Reba explained.
"It'll be fun. He'll so cute. For a minute, you could pretend that there is no Mike and really get into it. I'd do him,"
"Lori Ann, you're the most oversexed girl on the planet. Why are you even friends with a virgin like me?"
"Because we've been friends since first grade and I know that you wouldn't be a virgin if you were able to seduce Mike by now. This is not going to be so hard for you. Don't you think that Brock is kind of sexy?"
"I'll admit he's great to look at, but it's over for me the minute that he opens his mouth. Any woman would be turned off by then, but you can have him. You should date him. Be my guest. We're going to be in Vegas. You should seduce him into bed after the wedding. He'll forget all about me once he's with you; besides you haven't had sex in awhile. What's it been three months?"
"One month. I had sex on prom night."
"No! With who?"
"Terry Holloway."
"You had sex with my prom date?"
"Reba, he was destroyed. He got drunk after he dropped you off. He was talking about how you would never love him the way that you love Mike. He was so sad. I gave that boy a reason to live."
"I would be mad if you weren't right. I rejected Terry that night because I was planning to meet Mike after Terry left. It's too bad that Mike never showed up."
"You'll finally get that man into bed in a few days."
"We have to make a deal right now. You and I will never sleep with the same guys, okay?"
"You plan to spend the rest of your life with Mike anyway. I'd never sleep with Mike."
"And I'd never sleep with Terry. Now promise me- I mean it!"
"I don't get the point of this, but okay. I promise. I'll never sleep with any guys that you sleep with first."
"And I'll never sleep with any guy that you sleep with first. We are never going to let any guys make us crazy or get in the way of our friendship."
"Now do you still want to pull this little stunt on Brock?"
"Of course. I just have to get ready to deliver this message to the camera."
Reba's face changes from smiling to sternness.
"I'm ready. Brock, you have to know that you will never get me to like you. In a million years, you will never win my heart. My heart belongs to someone else and you have to accept it. You will never get me to want you. I hate you! You are a womanizing casanova. I'm never going to want someone like you. I love Mike Holloway. I love him with all of my heart and soul. I'll love him forever and he loves me. Even if Mike and I were separated for any reason, we're still going to love each other. I will love him for a thousand years and then a thousand more. You need to accept that and move on. I am going to marry Mike Holloway. You are his best friend. It would be wrong for you to continue to want to pursue his wife. I'm going to be his wife. In my heart, I already am. I taught you a lesson for your own good. Now deal with it! I'm done, Lori Ann. Let's get this thing over with."
"What are you going to do?"
"Do guys usually want a woman after they've been kicked in the groin?"
"No. Are you really going to do that?"
"Yep! I'm going to flirt with him and then lead him in here. When he tries something, I'm going to knee him in the groin."
"I've got to see this." Lori Ann responded as she followed Reba from a distance with the video camera as she entered the party again. Mike left the apartment to go get some more alcohol for the party. Reba slowly walked toward Brock, who was drinking shots off the makeshift bar. She leaned in to grab a shot. Her finger trailed along the rim of his glass. She lifted her finger up to her lips to suck the alcohol off. Brock stood there just watching her. He spoke and she laughed. She put her hand on his chest when she was laughing. She drank a shot and then drank another. He drank another shot and then pulled her to him in a slow dance. A few minutes later, Reba gave Lori Ann a signal and led Brock into the bedroom. Lori Ann followed quickly with the video camera, continuing to stay at a distance to view the interaction. Brock kissed Reba and they fell to the floor together. After a couple of minutes, Reba punched Brock in the gut and then kneed him in the groin. Brock groaned in agony.
"I think that I'm going to be sick!" Brock moaned. Reba helped him up and into the adjoining bathroom. He emptied the contents of his stomach and most of the alcohol that he consumed into the toilet. Reba went and got a cold washcloth to hold to his head.
"Why did you do that do me, honey?" Brock asked softly.
"Don't call me that. I did that to teach you a lesson," Reba answered.
Lori Ann walked up to the bathroom. "You shouldn't try to steal your best friend's girl. We figured that you should find that out the hard way." Lori Ann commented.
"I love Mike. You should know that. You shouldn't have kissed me like that."
"I believe that you kissed me back."
"No, I didn't. Please don't try to ruin this for me. Mike and I are going to get married. It's your job to stand there and smile at the wedding. Please?" Reba begged. Her eyes filled up with tears.
"Don't cry, honey. I promise not to do anything else to make you cry. Okay?" Brock responded.
Mike appeared in the doorway. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Brock got sick and Reba tried to help him. He said something insensitive to her and now she's crying," Lori Ann answered.
"What's wrong with you, Brock? You've got to be nicer to Reba. She's a good woman," Mike commented.
"I know. She's a heck of a woman," Brock replied.
