Competition Heats Up

After the rose ceremony, each of the ladies heads back to their shared room for the night.

"Girls, I just hope that you all will keep up the brave face when Ethan decides to have me as his wife!" Gwen suddenly states.

The remaining women look at each other and roll their eyes. "Gwen, put a sock in it, okay? Don't start causing trouble." Jessica says as she watches Gwen.

"Oh, puhlease! You women have nothing on me. I am perhaps the most elegant woman out of all of us. Just look around you."

The women each look at each other, anger arising in their eyes toward Gwen.

"Gwen, maybe you should just keep your mouth closed." Theresa says softly from the corner.

"Oh, Theresa, what's the matter? Can't stand a little competition?"

"Gwen, please."

"Please, what, Theresa? I KNOW I am going to win Ethan in the end. I just know it."

Getting up from the chair, Theresa goes outside to the balcony. God, what am I getting myself into. She thinks to herself. If Gwen will still be here, then there is no way I can be able to get to know Ethan more.

Hearing the phone ring, Sarah quickly goes to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hi, this is Lindsey. I just wanted to inform everyone that Ethan will be choosing his pick for the first one-on-one date tomorrow night."

"Okay, thank you." Hanging up the phone, Sarah looks at the women. "Lindsey wanted us to know that Ethan will be choosing one of us tomorrow night for the first alone date."

A collective squeal is heard around the room. Gwen takes this opportunity to escape the bedroom, in hopes of finding Ethan.

The only woman that will get that first date will be me! She thinks to herself as she makes her way down the hall toward Ethan's room.

Hearing a knock on his door, Ethan opens it to find Gwen standing there. "Gwen. What can I do for you?"

"Well, Ethan, I was told tonight that you would be picking the girl of your choice for the first date. I just wanted to make sure that we were clear as to who you would choose."

"Gwen, I can't reveal my choice to you."

"Oh, I know." She begins to move her body closer to Ethan's, "I just wanted to make sure that you make the right choice…if you know what I mean." She says, adding a saucy wink.

"Sure, Gwen." Ethan says as he attempts to move away from her. God, what is it with some of these women? He thinks.

"I just LOVE getting to know you, Ethan. I'm positive I am the only woman that could make you happy. In every way that counts. Some of those girls downstairs don't even want to be here. They were saying so themselves. Especially that Spanish girl..umm..Terry…no Trina…"

"Theresa?" Ethan says curiously.

"Yeah, her! She told me herself she didn't want to be here anymore.

"Oh, really?" Ethan asks, trying not to believe Gwen.

"Yup. Said it to me in perfect words, something like, "I don't think I'm made out for this show." Told me that tonight.

"I see. Well, Gwen, it's getting late, I must be off to bed now."

"Want some company?"

"Gwen!"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist." She smiles seductively. "Have a good night, Ethan."

Once Ethan closes his door, he leans back against it and sighs, "Man, this is one of the craziest things I have ever done with my life. Was Gwen telling the truth? Does Theresa want to go home? It can't be. I felt a connection with her. There's got to be more to this story, and I am going to find out what."
