Group Date

Theresa sighs as she and Ethan walk back to the limo. "This date was so much fun, Ethan, I hate to see it end."

"So do I, Theresa. But remember what you said, if fate is meant for this to be something more between us, then it will be."

"You're right." She smiles as she kisses his cheek.

"You can kiss better than that, can't you?" He teases, as he takes her into his arms and kisses her passionately.

Theresa then hugs Ethan goodbye, as she goes into the limo.

God, I think I'm falling in love. Ethan thinks to himself as he watches Theresa leave for the bachelorette house.

Once back in the house, Ethan sits on the couch, and begins evaluating what decision he will come to, when the phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Ethan, it's Lindsey. I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow you will be going on a group date with five of the women. I'll need to know your decision by 11 p.m. tonight."

"Okay, thank you."

Hanging up the phone, Ethan grabs some food from the kitchen, and goes to sit and eat. "God, I wish I could be with Theresa tonight, again. No, Ethan, stop thinking about her, you have the other women to think about. Maybe Theresa isn't the one for you." Shuddering at the thought, Ethan quickly finishes his dinner, and then goes to the deliberation room, to look at the pictures of all the women, in hopes that he can come to a decision.

Later in the night

The doorbell rings at the bachelorette house, and Gwen runs eagerly to see who Ethan has chosen. God, this better be my turn for a date! I will have Ethan for myself come hell or high water! She brings the box inside, and all the women gather around to see who Ethan has chosen. Taking the envelope, Gwen begins to read:

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great time here, as I have had getting to know you. Our next date scheduled is for a group date. I have chosen the following women to accompany me for a day of fun: Tina, Sarah, Carly, Jessica and Shauna. See you all soon! –Ethan"

The girls cheer, as Gwen throws the letter to the table. What the hell! Why didn't Ethan choose me? Now I get to be stuck here with Tacosita. Just what I need!

"Girls, I hope you have a great time with Ethan!" Theresa says.

"Thanks!"

Early the next morning

Gwen hears the doorbell ring, and runs to answer it. "Ethan! May I speak with you?"

"Um, sure, Gwen." Gwen closes the front door and brings Ethan to the side of the house. "Why didn't you ask me for a date today?" She gives him a puppy look. "Am I not attractive enough for you?"

"Gwen, please. Don't do this. There are some qualities I like about you, but I need to see what these other women offer, as well."

"Only some qualities about me? Surely, I can change your mind about that" she says as she sways her body closer to Ethan. "Don't you think?"

"No, Gwen, not now. Excuse me, but I must get to my date."

"Well, I'll be damned!" She says as she watches Ethan leave with the group.

In the Limo

"Ladies, are you ready to go skiing today?"

The girls cheer. "Sounds like fun, Ethan!" Sarah says.

How is it that none of these women are suddenly as appealing to me as Theresa? God, I have to stop this.

Once the group arrives at the ski lodge, they embark on their skiing activities. Although Ethan attempts to enjoy himself, he still finds that none of the girls send the spark of life through him that a certain brunette woman does…
