Bachelor Jarod Chapter five.
oOoOoOoOo
Six women left. Lydia, Miss Parker, Maria, Tess, Claude, Lexi.
AN/ Sorry that I let Cordelia go, I know some of you wanted her to stay. But it feels like I know more about Tess' character, so it'll be easier to write about her…
oOoOoOoOo
Miss Parker was beginning to feel a bit insecure. Jarod was away on a single-date with Lydia. And he had seemed a little too happy about that when he had come to pick her up. She hated the fact that Lydia looked so much like her, what if Jarod started to like her more?
The women were sitting in the living room discussing the bachelor, but Miss Parker preferred to by quiet. She didn't want to share her feelings for Jarod with anyone of them, and she didn't care if they thought she was weird. She didn't care about them at all…
She glanced at Maria who was talking to Claude. They seemed to have fun.
What about me Maria, I though I was your friend…
oOoOoOoOo
When Miss Parker thought they had been sitting there for an eternity, she heard noises and saw Lydia and Jarod walk into the room. They looked so happy, Miss Parker felt sick. She wanted to scream. He wasn't supposed to be happy with anyone else than her.
"I had a great time today, Lyd," Jarod said.
Lydia smiled and said something Miss Parker couldn't interpret.
Suddenly Jarod kissed Lydia; she put her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his. Miss Parker had to look away. She just couldn't stand seeing them kiss like that. What about me?
"Girls! I thought I could have lunch with you before our next date," Jarod said and Miss Parker looked at him.
About an hour later they'd finished eating and the women were just sitting there talking.
"Andi, can I talk to you for a while?" Miss Parker looked up and met Jarod's questioning eyes. She nodded and got up on her feet. They walked away a bit but didn't leave the room.
"Is anything wrong?" Jarod asked. When Miss Parker didn't answer he continued. "I saw the look you gave Lydia…" he said softly.
Miss Parker sighed. "I did not give her a look," she said defensively.
Jarod looked at her. He felt sorry for her, but at the same time it was kind of amusing. She was jealous! She is so cute when she looks like that!
"Hey, Andi," he whispered. Miss Parker looked up and saw Jarod walk closer to her. He put one hand on her neck and softly kissed her lips. Miss Parker moaned silently. Suddenly she realized the others were watching. She wanted to pull away but when Jarod deepened the kiss, she couldn't bring herself to. She felt his arms at her back and wrapped hers around him tightly.
"Look at her!" Tess whispered. "He's all over her. God I hate her so much, what does Jarod see in her?" she said annoyed. What a bitch!
"She's an attractive woman," Lydia said.
"What? Because she looks like you?" Tess spat out. Idiots.
"She's attractive, I'm gorgeous," Lydia said self confidently. Besides I'm much younger than she is, Jarod HAS to pick me!
Tess gave her an irritated look.
"Can someone stop them, I can't stand seeing them make out like that," Tess exclaimed.
"Oh for god's sake Tess, just shut up!" Maria snapped. Why did that woman always get on her nerves? She couldn't believe she and Tess could ever have been friends.
Miss Parker and Jarod finally managed to break the kiss. "Wow," Jarod smiled, and Miss Parker had to agree. That had been fantastic. She didn't think of the others anymore, she felt so happy, but at the same time she felt frustrated. How could he just kiss her like that and then go and kiss someone else? She wanted so much more from him, she wanted him to touch her, she wanted to… Miss Parker shook her head and almost blushed. She sighed, how was she going to survive this, Jarod was driving her crazy!
She turned around and then she realized the others were staring at her. Miss Parker blushed this time. She couldn't believe she had let them see her like that. It was embarrassing. But she quickly got control over her feelings and looked back at them with cold eyes.
oOoOoOoOo
This group date Jarod decided they would visit a Tivoli. The women had laughed as they'd heard it, but they were enjoying every minute as they'd gotten there.
Miss Parker, Lexi and Tess watched as Jarod and Maria were riding a roller coaster.
Later Miss Parker had to watch as Lexi and Jarod were kissing in the Ferris wheel. She suddenly felt angry, Lexi was just playing with him, she knew that. God, she wished she knew what they were saying up there…
Lexi laughed. She loved this, feel the wind in her hair, have a sexy man next to her, this was life! She placed one of her arms around Jarod's neck, leaning against him. Jarod kissed her on the top of her head.
"It's nice to be alone with you," he murmured.
"Lexi turned her head to look at him. She smiled at him.
"So are you gonna give me a rose tonight?" she asked with a grin. Of course he has to, he can't resist me…
Jarod laughed. "You have to wait and see."
"Oh come on J," Lexi purred, kissing his jaw.
"Yes, I would be stupid if I let a woman like you go," he said, surprising himself and Lexi. But somehow it felt natural for him to tell her that. He would lie if he said that Lexi wasn't a beautiful woman. She was really hot! And he liked her as a person too; she was nice and a little cheeky in her own sexy way. In this moment Jarod didn't think of Miss Parker at all, he just enjoyed spending some time with Lexi. He kissed her, and she kissed him back. None of them noticed they were back on the ground and people were waiting for them to get away from there.
Miss Parker watched them with a shocked expression on her face. How could Jarod like that woman? God, he seemed to be totally under her spell.
Miss Parker felt angry and sad at the same time. It scared her; she didn't know how to handle these feelings of jealousy. She had never experienced something like this before…
oOoOoOoOo
When this day was over and the women gathered in the big hall for another rose ceremony all of them were more nervous than they'd been before. They were only six now and after this ceremony they would be only four.
"Good evening ladies!" O'Donnell entered the room, followed by Jarod.
O'Donnell turned to Jarod. "When you're ready," he said and stepped back.
Jarod smiled. "I'm so glad to see you girls again. You are so amazing all of you. Unfortunately I have to send two of you home…" Jarod picked up the first rose and held it as he watched the women's nervous faces.
"Lexi," he said.
Lexi walked up to him and gave him a tight hug. "Thank you J," she whispered seductively. As she walked back to her place Jarod watched her. He didn't know what it was but something made him like that woman a lot.
He picked up the second rose. "Lydia," he smiled as he saw Lydia walk up to him with a huge smile on her lips. She's great!
"Will you accept this rose?"
"You know I will," Lydia said. I knew he would pick me, I'm irresistible!
Jarod gave her a hug before letting her walk back to the other women.
"Andi."
Miss Parker let out a breath she wasn't aware of holding. She'd never been this nervous in her whole life.
As she walked up to Jarod her legs almost trembled. She hugged him, never wanting to let go.
"Thank you for letting me stay," she whispered. I wish I could tell him I love him…
"Of course I let you stay," Jarod whispered back. Oh Parker, what will happen when this is over? Do I dare to choose you?
Miss Parker smiled as she walked back to stand beside Maria. As she watched Jarod she slowly drifted into a dream world and it wasn't the first time she didn't hear the last name Jarod called out…
oOoOoOoOo
TBC
AN/ Again, I can't decide who will have to go home. So PLEASE tell me what you think! It's up to you now! Who will stay, Claude, Tess or Maria?
