CHAPTER TWO.
NOTE - (14 women left – Andi, Maria, Abby, Cordelia, Lydia & Sam for sure.)
The thinking is is bold...
THE MANSION.
The next day after breakfast, the women gathered in the living room, waiting for O'Donnell to show up.
None of them had seen Jarod this morning and they were very nervous to find out about the days events.
When O'Donnell finally entered, everyone became silent, staring at him excitedly.
"Today twelve of you will go on group-dates with six in each group. Which means two of you won't meet Jarod before the next rose-ceremony," he said, eyeing the women.
"I'll give you these cards, those who get them blank have to stay home..." O'Donnell said, starting to hand out the cards to the women.
None of them were allowed to look at them before everyone got their card. They all were extremely impatient. When they finally were allowed to turn their cards, loud sighs of relief was heard. Then they remembered two of them had got the blanc ones, curiously they looked around to see who.
"Who got the blanc cards?" one of them asked.
"I got one of them..." Lydia said, stroking her hair out of her face to have something to do.
"Yeah, me too..." A dark-haired woman mumbled. It was obvious she was very pissed off.
"Oh come on Cordelia, what's the big deal?" the one they remembered as Lexi said. Thank god she got a blanc one!
"It's not fair! Why will everyone else but me get the chance to meet Jarod?!" Cordelia snapped. I'm much better than all of you, and Jarod will see that!
"Stop being such a bitch!" Lexi snapped back.
Miss Parker watched the two women. Idiots! As they continued arguing, she got really tired of hearing them, why couldn't they just shut up!
"Why don't you just shut up! Jarod will never choose you anyway," she snarled. He loves me! He has too.
"I'm sure he finds me more attractive then you anyway!" Cordelia said, giving Miss Parker a cold look.
"When hell freezes over, you moron." I hate her so much!
"And what do you know about that?"
"I know more than you can ever imagine," Miss Parker said coldly, she turned and left before Cordelia could answer. Not that she didn't dare to argue with her, but she didn't want to say something stupid. None of the other women was supposed to know that she knew Jarod from before.
"Idiot!" Cordelia muttered, watching Miss Parker as she disappeared.
"You're not much better yourself."
Cordelia spun around and saw Lexi give her an evil smile before she left too, heading to the bathroom to prepare herself for the date with Jarod.
Gotcha!
One hour later, O'Donnell was waiting in the hall. When the six women were ready they left the house. About a half an hour later the car arrived. The women scanned the harbour searching for Jarod. They immediately saw him waiting by a big white yacht. What was going on?! This was really exciting!
Jarod gave each of the women a big hug when he welcomed them to the yacht.
A half an hour later, they were talking, laughing and having fun. The sun was shining and it was really hot. Everyone tried to get as much time alone with Jarod as possible. Miss Parker was getting more and more irritated, she couldn't stand to see them follow him around like puppies.
She was just about to get up from her seat to get some attention herself, when she suddenly saw a blonde sitting down in Jarod's lap. Miss Parker stopped and stared at her angrily. How dare she!? When the blonde started kissing him, and he actually responded without pushing her away, Miss Parker almost dropped her glass. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to run up to them and stop them, but she knew she couldn't do that. She had to control herself.
"Andi, there you are!"
Miss Parker took her eyes of Jarod too see who was talking to her.
"Maria, hi!" she smiled.
"I really like Jarod... and I think he'll let me stay during this rose-ceremony! He kissed me, this is so exciting!" Maria laughed.
Miss Parker forced herself to smile a second time. Has he kissed everyone but me? What the hell is this?! But Maria saw that it was not real.
"What's wrong? Wanna talk about it?" she asked.
Miss Parker just shook her head, didn't know what to say.
"Okay, but you know where to find me, I'll be happy to be your friend."
"Thanks," Miss Parker said. She was quiet for a while, glancing at Jarod and the blonde. She turned to Maria.
"Who is she?" she asked, once again eying the woman.
"Her name is Tess, I know her. She's a false, lying bitch... if Jarod is smart he won't choose her..."
Miss Parker nodded. "I hope he won't," she mumbled.
The day passed and soon after the second group came home from their dates. It was time for the second rose-ceremony. The women gathered in the living room, waiting for O'Donnell and Jarod to show up. Miss Parker looked around, by now she recognized all of them. But she only knew some of them in person. She hoped Jarod would choose Maria, she was nice. And she hoped Abby and Samantha would stay as well. Cordelia, Tess and Lexi was a different matter... she didn't like them at all!
Her thoughts were interrupted as the men entered the hall.
"Ladies, it's time for the second rose-ceremony... this time ten of you will get a rose, which means the other four will have to go home," O'Donnell said.
He turned to Jarod.
"Jarod, when you're ready."
Jarod looked at the women a while before cleaning his throat to talk.
"I just want to thank everyone for two amazing dates. It was a pleasure to get to know each of you better and I'm really looking forward to spend some more time with you," Jarod said with a warm smile. He waited a while before picking up the first rose.
"Cordelia."
Jarod couldn't help but see the shocked look Miss Parker gave him as the brunette walked up to him.
"Cordelia, will you accept this rose?"
"Of course!" Cordelia said giving Jarod a big hug before walking back to the other women. I told you he likes me, he will pick me in the end, I know he will!
Jarod picked up the second rose. "Abby," he said. Smiling as he saw her happiness.
"Lydia."
He knew he had to keep her there to find out some more about her. For instance, why she looked so much like Parker. And he did like her. She was so easy to be with, so genuine.
"Lydia, will you accept this rose?"
"I'd love too!" Wow! He didn't even meet me today!
"Good," Jarod whispered, giving her a hug before she returned to her position.
Miss Parker watched her as she walked back to the others. She didn't know how long she had been standing there, staring. Suddenly she felt someone touching her arm. She gave the woman next to her an annoyed look.
When the woman gave Jarod a meaning look, she realized she hadn't heard a word of what he'd just said. She looked at him, puzzled.
Jarod smiled at her. "Yes, you," he laughed. She is so different, god, I love her...
Miss Parker looked down at the floor, embarrassed. How could she have missed hearing that? She forced herself to look up and started to walk towards Jarod.
He welcomed her with a big hug.
"Andi, will you accept this rose?" he asked.
"Count on it!" Miss Parker said, surprising herself as she said the words.
Jarod smiled, giving her a second hug before letting her walk back. He couldn't help smiling as he watched her. He could never have imagined any of this, but this time with Parker was probably the best days in his life. He really wanted her to be the one, but he didn't know if he could take the chance. She would never leave the centre to go away with him, and even if she did the centre wouldn't leave them alone. He knew he had to find out more about the other girls, maybe he could learn to like them...
Carefully he picked up the fifth rose.
"Tasha."
Jarod watched her. She was tall, beautiful and really nice too. He liked her a lot! She is a little like Parker... this could be interesting...
"Will you accept this rose?"
"Yes!"
They shared a hug before Tasha went back to the others. Jarod called out Paige's name and she slowly walked up to him.
"Paige, will you accept this rose?"
"I'm sorry Jarod... I can't... something happened... my sister is sick, I have to go home..." Paige said in a low voice. Dammit, I don't want to lie to him, but I can't tell him the truth...
Jarod just nodded. "I understand..." he said after a while of silence.
"Good luck." Paige gave Jarod a quick hug before leaving the room. She said a few words to O'Donnell before closing the door behind her.
Jarod stood there for a while. He was surprised that one woman said no to the rose, but of course... she had her reasons...
After he'd given out three roses, he carefully picked up the last. He held it for a while, studying the women. Was this really the right decision?
"Rae." He finally said. The dark-haired woman gladly walked up to him.
"Will you accept this rose?" Jarod asked with a small smile.
"Yes!" she gave Jarod a hug before returning to the others. The women started to talk, but when O'Donnell entered, none of them said a word.
"Those who didn't get a rose tonight, take a moment... say goodbye," he said. He soon disappeared the same way he'd come from. Jarod stood there, feeling sorry for the four ladies he'd sent home. They were nice, but he didn't think they were what he was looking for. He was sure he'd chosen the right women, and he was looking forward to spend some more time with them...
