Last Time:
The week goes by fast since I'm playing tennis and swimming. Before I knew it, it was the morning of the 23rd.
Now:
I wake up and make my bed. I go to my wardrobe and pick out my clothes for tonight. I decide on the long, slender black dress I bought at JcPenny's. I grab out a pair of stilletos.
I look through my clothes and put on a bathing suit, and then a pair of shorts. I go downstairs and into the kitchen and begin making myself waffles. I mix the batter up, throw pecans in it, and put them in the waffle maker. I made 3 waffles, and put some whipped cream on top of them. I begin eating them, and finally finish them. I go outside, take my shorts off, and dive into the pool. I have to start getting ready at 5:00. It has to be around 12. I swim for awhile.
I look over and see the executives come out of the house. The same woman and guy every time.
"Hello Ms. Weasley...may we have a quick word?"
"Sure."
I go over to the ladder and climb out of the pool. I grab a towel and wrap it around myself. I take a seat on a pool lounger. They sit on the lounge chair next to me.
"As you know tonight is the night the men come. Do you have an outfit?"
"Yes...I have a floor length black dress that's a halter top, and the back swoops down to my low back."
They nod their heads at me.
"Well you'll be getting 2 hours tonight with the men. Then you'll have to eliminate 10 of them. So try to go around and talk with all of them if they don't come up to you...once you go up into the waiting room to decide who will go, there will be pictures of the men and their names."
"Ok sounds good...thank you."
"Well we better get going...it's 4:30 right now..."
"Goodbye."
I wave them goodbye, and then go inside and up into the bathroom. I take the towel and my bathing suit off and throw them into the hamper. I start the shower, and hop into it. I take a shower, and wash my hair and body. I rinse off before I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around me. I grab my wand, and dry my hair with it. I dry myself off, and make my way into the bedroom. It's 5:00. I wrap the towel around my tight, and then tuck the end of it in so it won't fall off. I sit at the vanity and get my straightener out. I begin straightening my hair. Finally I finish that up and then pull out my spiral curling iron. I begin putting spiral curls in my hair. I finish that, and pull my hair up into a bun, but leave a piece down to frame the right side of my face.
I spray my hair with hairspray, and grab my make-up bag. I put some gray eyeshadow on, and then some mascara. I put eyeliner beneath my eyes and on the bottom of my eyelids. Then I put some lipgloss on my lips. I grab my bottle of glitter, and put it all over my body from feet to my hair, and on my face, shoulders, and back. I paint my toenails and fingernails clear, and make sure they're dry.
I look at the clock and its 6:30. I take my towel off and slip my dress on. I place the halter top over my neck. I throw the towel in the hamper. I sit on the bed and slip my stilletos on. I buckle them around my ankle once I put my big toe in the loop. I check the clock. It's 6:45. I make my way downstairs into the living room. I'll go outside at 6:59. I go into the living room and the executives are in the living room with a camera crew. I sit down on the couch.
"You look stunning Ms. Weasley."
"Thanks."
"Well once you get outside the cameras will start rolling and record everything. They'll follow you around from now on almost all the time. They'll go on all your dates with the men as well."
"Sounds good to me."
I smile at them. I check the clock and it's 6:58.
"Well I better go outside then, otherwise I'll miss the bachelors."
I wave goodbye to them and walk outside. The camera crew follows me. I stand there, as they film me. Just then a limo begins pulling in the driveway. I breathe and stand there. The limo pulls up in front of me and the door opens, and out steps a guy. He's about 6'0", black hair, and blue eyes. He smiles at me and walks over. I smile at him, and kiss his cheek.
"Hi I'm Nick," He says in a deep voice.
"I'm Ginny. Go make yourself at home."
He walks inside and another guys steps out. He's 6'5" or so with short blonde hair and green eyes. I smile at him, and he hugs me.
"I'm Chris."
"Hi. I'm Ginny."
He walks into the house and goes inside. Another guy steps out and he's 5'10", and with my heels on I'm taller than him. He smiles at me, and walks over and kisses me on the cheek.
"Hi...I'm Ricky. What's your name?"
"I'm Ginny."
He walks inside and another guy steps out. It's Harry. I gape at him. He walks u to him and I kiss his cheeks.
"Hi I'm Ginny."
"Harry..."
I can see his cheeks turning red.
"Well go inside and get comfortable."
I know my family is watching the show. They're probably shocked that Harry is on the show. My mum should be taping the show as well. The last guy steps out and the limo pulls away.
He's 6'2", brown hair and eyes.
"Ello. I'm Jacque."
"Hi I'm Ginny."
And he's french. He goes inside and I breathe. Another limo pulls up. 5 down...20 to go. The camera is in my face and then the limo pulls up. Out steps Dean Thomas. I smile at him. He comes over and hugs me.
"Hi! I'm Ginny."
"Dean...Dean Thomas."
He looks at me and then walks inside. Then another guy comes out, and he's about 25 with black hair and a chisled face. He's about 6'2" with green eyes. He comes over and I kiss his cheek. He smiles at me.
"I'm Tom."
I shudder slightly. I despise that name ever since I wrote in Tom Riddle's diary, and was taken to the Chamber of Secrets. I smile at him.
"I'm Ginny."
He walks in. I don't know anyone else in the car, but their names are John, Ryan, and Keith. 10 down and 15 to go. The next limo pulls up and 5 guys I don't know step out, one after another. I greet them and smile. Their names are James, Tim, Steve, Peter, and Leo. So there is 15 down and only 10 more.
The next limo pulls up, and Blaise steps out. So that's 3 people I know so far. He smiles over at me and kisses my cheek. I kiss his cheek back.
"Hi...I'm Ginny."
He looks at me strangely.
"Blaise Zabini."
"Go on inside Blaise."
The other four that follow him are unknown to me as well. Their names are Greg, Henry, Adam, and Oliver. The last limo pulls up and I smile. Thank god it's the last five men! The first guy steps out, and he's about 6'3" with brown hair and brown eyes. He walks over and I smile at him and give him a hug.
"Hi I'm Devon."
"Hi...Ginny."
He walks in and another guy steps out. He's about 6'0" with blonde hair, and blue eyes. I kiss his cheek. He smiles at me.
"I'm Luke."
"Hi Luke...I'm Ginny."
Another guys steps out as Luke goes in. He's about 6'1" with red hair and hazel eyes. He hugs me, and smiles.
"Hi I'm Ethan."
"Hi! I'm Ginny."
Ethan walks inside and another guy comes out. Only two more after him. He's about 6'5" with blonde hair that's spiky. He's got green eyes. He kisses my cheek.
"Hi I'm Matthew."
"Ginny."
He walks in and another guy comes out. He's 6'1" or so with black hair and brown eyes. He walks over and hugs me.
"Hi I'm Zack."
"I'm Ginny."
He walks in. 1 more guy. The last guy puts his foot out of the door, and stands up, and shuts the limo door. The limo drives off. I look over at him and stop breathing. It's Draco Malfoy! I feel like screaming out. He walks over to me, and just smirks. I kiss his cheek.
"Hi! I'm Ginny," I say with my fakest smile ever.
"I'm Draco."
I can see he's enjoying this a lot. In my head I'm thinking can I trade him for another guy? He offers his arm to me, and I grab it and we walk inside. I lean close to him.
"What are you doing here," I whisper softly in his ear.
"Blaise and I agreed to it," he whispers back.
Draco leads me inside. The other 24 men are waiting inside for me. Draco leads me to the couch and I sit next to Blaise, and Draco sits on my other side. Blaise offers me a glass of champaigne. I take it and thank him. All the guys' attention is on me. I just smile at them and look around. 25 men! I have no idea what to do now. Some guy comes up to me and offers his hand to me. I grab it and he leads away into his formal room I didn't even know was here. I believe his name is Nick. We sit down and I smile at him. The camera crew is in there with us.
"So what do you like to do in your free time?"
"Well I like to play Quidditch, go to clubs, hang out with my friends, and read."
I smile at him. This is going to be a long night. The camera crew leaves us and goes back in with the other guys.
"So what's your favorite book?"
He mentions some book I have no clue about. Another guy comes in and clears his throat. I say goodbye to the first guy and the other guy sits down next to me.
"Hi."
"Hi," I say back and take a sip of my champaigne.
"So Ginny what do you do for a living?"
"Well I'm a model. What do you do?"
"I work at the Ministry."
We sit there and then another guy comes in after a minute or so and the other leaves. They all ask the same things. Finally I've gone through about 20 guys. There's about 30 minutes left. There's Draco, Blaise, Harry, Dean, and some other guy I haven't talked to yet. The other guy comes in and I think his name is Luke.
"Hi."
"So what do you do for a living?"
"Well Ginny I own a store."
"Oh really? What store?"
"Gladrags."
"Oh well that's wonderful. I love that shop."
"So what do you do?"
"I'm a model. I have been since I was 18."
He smiles at me, and then Harry comes in. The other guy gets up and Harry sits down next to me and holds out a glass of champaigne to me. I take it gladly. I smile at Harry.
"So Harry...what do you do for a living?"
"Well I'm a professional Quidditch player."
"Well that's fascinating. I've always enjoyed Quidditch since I was a kid."
"So Ginny, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a model."
"Well that's wonderful...so what do you like to do in your free time?"
"Well a little bit of everything. I hang out with my friends and family, read, play Quidditch, and drive my Mustang."
Just then Dean walks in, and Harry gets up, and leaves. Dean sits down and I sip my champaigne.
"So Dean what do you do for a living?"
"Well I work at the Ministry. What do you do?"
"I've model since I was 18."
"That's quite an accomplishment. So when's your birthday?"
"It's June 20th. When's yours'?"
"December 4th."
Blaise walks in, and Dean leaves. Blaise sits down next to me and I cross my legs because they're starting to fall asleep. I take another drink of champaigne.
"Ginny...what do you do for a living?"
"Well I'm a model. I signed on at 18 for a 5 year contract."
"Wow. I thought you looked like a model."
There goes Blaise's constant flattery and compliments.
"So Blaise...what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a professional Quidditch player. So what do you do in your free time?"
I smile at him.
"Well I like to hang out with my friends, shop, drive my Mustang, play Quidditch, and read."
"So you own a Mustang?"
"Yup."
"That's cool."
Draco walks in and Blaise looks over at him. They look at each other, and then Blaise kisses my hand and walks out of the room. Draco sits down next to me. I just smile at him.
"So Ginny what do you do for a living?"
"Well Draco I'm a model. I signed a 5 year contract when I was 18. So what do you do?"
"Well I'm a professional Quidditch player. What do you do for fun?"
"I like to shop, read, hang out with friends, dance, and drive my Mustang."
He looks over at me.
"You own a Mustang?"
"Yup! A 2004 silver mustang, V8 engine."
I check the clock and we have about 5 minute left.
"Well we better be getting back into the main room Draco."
Draco offers me his hand, and I uncross my legs and stand up. I walk with Draco out into the living room. All the men are talking, and they stop as I walk back in. I sit next to Blaise. I know someone's going to come and get me in two minutes. Blaise begins talking to me again.
"So Ginny is your hair naturally curly?"
"No...it's usually wavy."
I can feel Blaise's hand sneak around my waist as I'm sitting. He just smiles at me. I look around and smile at all the guys. They're all listening to me talk. Just then I hear someone walk from upstairs. I turn my head and there comes the male executive. All the guys' groan.
"Well I have to steal Ms. Weasley away."
I get up and excuse myself. I set my glass down on the coffee table. I walk over to the guy, who leads me up the stairs. I turn my head and smile at all the guys. The camera crew follows us. The executive leads me up to a room with a couch and pictures of all the guys in frames. I walk over to the photos, and look at all of them. The executives leaves the room, and the camera crew comes beside me.
All the pictures have names underneath them. I look them over, and debate who to keep. I memorize their names. I close my eyes and go over their names, so I know who to call. The executive comes back in and tells me I'm to come downstairs. I take one last look at the pictures and walk out of the room. I walk down the stairs carefully and see the pedistal with all the rose pins. All the guys are looking at me. I get to the bottom of the stairs and the camera crew follows me. The guys are in two lines, the taller ones in the back. I walk over next to the pedistal. I smile at all the guys.
"Well tonight I have to eliminate ten of you."
I grab the first boutonniere. I wait for second for drama.
"Chris."
Chris smiles and walks up to me.
"Chris will you accept this rose?"
He nods to me, and I pin it on his jacket. He goes and stands back with the guys. I grab the next rose.
"Matthew."
Matthew walks up to me.
"Matthew, will you accept this rose?"
"Yes Ginny."
I pin it on him and walks back. I grab the next rose.
"Devon."
Devon walks up with a smile.
"Devon will you accept this rose?"
"Of course."
I pin it on his jacket and he turns back. I grab the fourth rose. I pause.
"James."
James walks up to me.
"James will you accept this rose?"
He nods as I pin it on. I grab the next rose as he walks away.
"Ryan."
Ryan smiles at me as he walks up to me.
"Ryan, will you accept this rose?"
"Yes Ginny."
I pin it on him and grab another rose. I'm a third done already. 10 more to give out. I look at the other 20 guys looking hopefully at me. They all want a rose.
"Harry."
Harry walks up to me.
"Harry will you accept this rose?"
"Yeah Ginny."
I pin it on Harry and smile at him. I grab another rose.
"Nick."
Nick walks up to me.
"Nick will you accept this rose?"
"Of course Ginny."
I pin it on him and grab another rose. We're getting there. We're half way done.
"Blaise."
Blaise grins at me as he walks up to me.
"Blaise will you accept this rose?"
"Hell yeah."
I smile at him as I pin it on. He kisses my cheek and walks off. I grab another rose.
"Luke."
Luke walks up to me.
"Luke will you accept this rose?"
"Yes Ginny."
I pin it on him and grab another.
"Adam."
Adam smiles at me as he walks up to me.
"Adam, will you accept this rose?"
He nods. I pin it on his jacket. I grab another once he gets back in line. I only have 5 roses left to give inclusing the one I'm holding.
"Jacque."
Jacque walks up to me.
"Jacque will you accept this rose?"
"Vell of course Ginnny."
I pin it on him and grab another rose.
"Dean."
Dean breathes and smiles at me. He walks up to me.
"Dean will you accept this rose?"
"Yes."
I pin it on him and smile. He walks back and I grab another rose.
"Keith."
Keith smiles and walks up to me.
"Keith will you accept this rose?"
He nods. I pin it on him and look at the pedistal. There's two roses left. I grab on of them.
"Zack."
Zack smiles at me as he walks over.
"Zack will you accept this rose?"
"Yes Ginny."
I pin it on him and he walks back. The executive comes and stands next to me.
"Gentlemen this is the last rose tonight."
He walks away and I grab the flower. I take a big breathe.
"Draco."
I know my family will kill me. Draco walks up to me with a smirk on his face.
"Draco...will you accept this rose?"
He just nods at me. I pin the rose on him and smile. He walks back to the back of the line. He has to be around 6'4". The executive comes back to stand next to me again.
"Gentlemen if you didn't recieve a rose please say your goodbyes."
The guys pat each other on the backs and hug. The ten I didn't pick make their way up to me. I kiss them each on the cheek and apologize for not picking them. They leave and then my butler comes out with a tray of sixteen glasses of champaigne. I walk over to the guys and grab a glass. They all crowd around me in a circle. I'll make a toast.
"To another week together."
I raise my glass, and so do the guys. We clink them together, and I drink half of my glass. The cameraman shurts the camera off. We all start talking, and Ryan says something funny and I begin laughing.
"Your laugh is amazing Ginny. It's like bells twinkling."
I just smile at Blaise. Finally the executive comes over and tells the boys they'd better get going. The guys gather around me and I kiss them on the cheeks. Draco comes up to me last.
"I can't believe you picked me Weasley."
I just smile at him.
"I need a challenge Malfoy."
He smirks back at me. I kiss his cheek. I push him towards the door.
"Get out of my house now Malfoy...otherwise I might have to jump you."
I smile sweetly at him. He looks at me and laughs.
"I'll see you later Weasley, and you better watch out."
"I look forward to it sweetie," I say to him and pinch his cheek slightly.
He walks to the door, and looks back at me.
"Kiss, Kiss," I say to him as I wave.
He smirks at me and walks out. I fall back on the couch. The executive comes over and sits next to me.
"Ok Ms. Weasley. This week you'll be going on two group dates of seven, and then picking one guy to go on a date alone with you. Next week Saturday at seven again we'll be having a rose ceremony again and this time you get rid of two men."
I nod at him.
"What is your name again?"
"It's Graham."
"Ok Graham, and please call me Ginny. When will these dates be?"
"Well the first group date is Monday, the one on one date is on Wednesday, and then the other group date is Friday. You get to decide time, where, and who goes. So you'll need to decide soon so we can tape you saying it and then send te tape to the boys. The camera crew wuill be following the boys around the week, and now you'll only see them on the dates and at the rose ceremonies."
"Sound good to me. Come tomorrow and I'll tell you the details for the group date."
"Ok Ginny. I'll see you then."
I say goodbye to Graham. I close the door behind him. I lock it and make my way upstairs. I go to my room and slip my dress off. I grab a big t-shirt and slip it on. I pull my hairthing out and shake my hair. I go to bed, and lay down on top of it and fall asleep immediately.
Well that's it for now. Please R & R!
