The Arrival
FREDDIE'S POV
FLASHBACK: *Ring, ring, ring, ring* I heard the phone ringing so I went into my apartment kitchen and answered it. "Hello?" I said.
"Hello, this is Chris from The Bachelor, we would like to inform you that you have been selected to be the next bachelor." Said Chris.
"Are you serious?" I asked him. END FLASHBACK.
That moment happened about 2 months ago. I am 22 now and so is Carly and Sam. I applied for the Bachelor because I couldn't find any girls that were right for me, until now. I stepped out of a limousine at the Bachelor house waiting for the other limos with the girls inside. I had to leave Carly and Sam but they were surprisingly ok with it. I saw a limo pull up next to Chris and I and I knew there were girls in there.
The first woman that stepped out had blonde hair and green eyes, her name was Alison, she had on a green dress which made me realize how tall she was. She said hi then continued into the house. The next girl's name was Stephanie she was Chinese and was very small. She had on a solid black dress, and seemed shy when she talked to me. Many more girls came out of the 3 limos, but a few stood out to me like Alison, Stephanie, Selena, Cara, Mary Alice, and Cassidy. Chris told me there were only two women left. I waited and I was shocked at who I saw get out out of the limo.
"Carly?!" I said almost yelling.
"Shh, don't worry, I won't make a big deal about us already being friends. See you inside." Carly said winking at me. I was completely in shock. Why would Carly come onto the show? She is my best friend! I would have all my questions answered when I went inside so I shrugged it off and waited for the last girl to get out. I literally think my jaw hit the ground when I saw the girl who tripped out of the car. The girl tripped and said,
"Ugh, stupid fancy car." This girl was Sam. My best friend. She walked up to me and said, "Don't say anything." She then walked past Freddie walking inside and pulling her dress down which made me chuckle.
I went inside the house and saw 24 beautiful ladies sitting on 4 different couches waiting for me. When I came in they all squealed except for Sam of course, I introduced myself and told them we would be having a first impression rose ceremony that night. Each girl had 5 minutes to talk to me and make a good first impression. I talked to Cassidy first. I found out she lives in D.C and she is an animal lover/ vegetarian. I talked to every other girl except Sam and Carly. I was talking Cara when Carly came up and asked if she could steal me away. Of course I agreed but Cara looked annoyed.
I walked with Carly outside to the pool . "Carly, I don't understand why you and Sa…" I was cut off by her.
"Listen, I thought it would be fun to come here and Sam didn't want to be by herself so she came with me. Also I think I'm umm, I'm actually starting to fall for you." Said Carly getting up and walking towards the house. It took me a minute before I could pull myself together because I never thought Carly would say those words. After I pulled myself together I had thought I talked to all 24 girls but I was wrong, I had not talked to Sam. I went into the house and said
"Sam, may I talk to you?"
"Uh, sure?" said Sam surprised that I even acknowledged her. I offered to take her hand and she hit it away. We got to a bench outside by the pool surrounded with candles. I had sent the camera guy away because I didn't want the whole world to see us fight or bicker. We sat down and before I could even say anything she said "Look, the only reason I'm here is because I knew I would get into trouble if Carly and you weren't there. I'm not here to win your heart, I'm the only one here who is down to earth ok? Oh and 1 more thing, when the cameras are around we act like we like each other but off the camera we can act like however we want." Said Sam.
"That is fine with me and I agree with you that you're the only down to earth person in there, you're like my only friend in there." I said. We were interrupted by Chris who took me away and told me I had to pick 14 girls to start my bachelor journey with.
I went into the rose room and the 24 girls were standing there and I started to call their names. "Cassidy. Cassidy will you accept this rose?"
"Of course I will!" said Cassidy.
"Selena will you accept this rose?" I asked
"Why wouldn't I?" said Selena. I continued to hand out roses and I had given roses to Cassidy, Selena, Alison, Stephanie, Cara, Mary Alice, Heidi, Bridget, Emma, Debbie, Tia, and Kaitlyn. I had two roses left and knew exactly who to give them to.
"Carly," she walked toward me smiling, "Carly will you accept this rose?"
"Yes." She said winking at me. Chris came inside and informed us that this was the last rose of the night. I held the rose in my hand, looking at all the women and said,
"Sam will you accept this rose?" She looked shocked walked toward me, saw the camera and said,
"Sure, why not." I said goodbye to the rest of the women and they all left. I was left with 14 beautiful woman and I knew my future wife was in this room with me now.
