Chapter 1.2 – Cajun and the Twenty Babes
The LeBeau mansion was a white palace with marble pillars that sat in the swamplands of the bayou. Despite the location, it was still the largest and fanciest house in all of Louisiana. In the main hall, twenty beautiful women in revealing evening gowns were lined up on the stares. The television crew had lights and cameras set up as if they were décor, all focused on the host as he explained the rules and introduced the girls.
In the other room, Remy sat impatiently waiting for his cue. He fidgeted with the tuxedo they had forced him to wear, which he was beyond uncomfortable wearing. He shuffled the pile of playing cards into his chest pocket, the queen of hearts visible over the lip.
"And now, ladies," the host began his introduction in the other room. "It is time to meet The Bachelor." He turned and motioned to the double doors that lead to the room where Gambit was waiting. The doors swung open and the Cajun stepped into the room.
"Remy LeBeau, I'd like for you to meet the twenty ladies that will be competing for your heart," the host said, motioning to the girls waiting on the stairs.
"All dese lovely ladies are for Gambit?" he asked, looking at them. They almost had to pause filming because he came rather close to drooling. "Dis is gonna be fun."
