Bachelor Jarod chapter six.
oOoOoOoOo
Four women left. Lydia, Miss Parker, Maria & Lexi.
AN/ So, I let Claude and Tess go, for those who liked them, I'm sorry. But the majority wanted Maria to stay!
AN2/ Normally when there are four women left, the bachelor goes to meet the women's families. But that won't work. (Just imagine Miss Parker taking Jarod to meet her family!) So I skip that part and just stick to the dates for another chapter...
oOoOoOoOo
It was an early morning, Miss Parker couldn't sleep. Instead she got out of bed and got dressed. Silently she sneaked downstairs and made some coffee. She liked to be alone for a while and enjoyed the silence. She knew the other three would come down in a couple of hours and she did her best to not think of them. She just wanted to be alone right now. She was glad Jarod hadn't chosen Tess. At least one bitch was out of the game. And then there was Lexi, Miss Parker didn't like Lexi at all, and she hated the fact that Jarod seemed to like her though. She could tell he was really attracted to her.
The hours passed surprisingly quick and the first woman who entered the kitchen was Maria. She smiled as she saw Miss Parker.
"Andi! Good morning!" she said, and Miss Parker smiled back. She was glad she at least had one friend in the house.
"So what do you think is gonna happen today?" Maria asked.
Miss Parker was thinking for a while. "I don't know," she gave up and looked at Maria.
"If you can't have him, who do you think is most likely to be chosen?" she asked.
Maria frowned. "That's so hard to tell, I think you and Jarod are a good match! But he seems to like Lexi," Maria made a grimace as she thought of it. "And he seems really intrested in Lydia too," she said thoughtfully.
Miss Parker whimpered. "Yeah," she mumbled, regretting asking the question in the first place. She didn't need to be reminded of the terrible things that she had to watch.
"Hey, don't worry! You're much better than Lexi, and Lydia too for that matter," Maria said cheerily.
"Thanks."
"Do you wanna go for a swim?" Maria asked and Miss Parker nodded. "I'll just go change my clothes."
oOoOoOoOo
Jarod waited impatiently in the car for Lydia to show up. Today he was going to spend some time with all of the four women on individual dates. And Lydia was first, they were going to visit a spa.
"Hi there handsome!"
Jarod was snapped out of his thoughts as Lydia entered the car and sat down next to him. The driver said a few words before starting to drive.
Jarod looked at Lydia. She was really beautiful. He smiled. Maybe I should pick her; she's like a copy of Miss Parker…
"It's going to be wonderful to share this experience with you," he said.
Lydia nodded. "Yes!"
Jarod leaned in to kiss her.
"Jarod, it scares me to admit it… but I feel like I have to be honest with myself, and even more,with you… I'm starting to fall in love with you…"
oOoOoOoOo
The second date started at a cinema, and Miss Parker couldn't have chosen a better place herself. As they were waiting for the movie to start, she felt Jarod slip hisarm over her shoulders, pulling her closer to him.
Without saying anything, Miss Parker leaned against him. She laid her head on his shoulder and inhaled his scent. She sighed happily.
"This is so cosy," she murmured. I wish I could stay like this forever…
"Yeah, why haven't we done this earlier?" Jarod whispered loud enough for only Miss Parker to hear.
"I wish we had." Miss Parker didn't lie. She really wished they'd done everything they'd done during the stay in this house, a long time ago. But she knew it wasn't that easy. And it would never be that easy in real life. That's what pained her so much to think about…
"Jarod, I'm not gonna say this a lot, because I'm terrified to admit it… but I…" Miss Parker's voice trailed off. Just say it dammit! He needs to know…
Jarod took her hand in his and gently squeezed it.
"I love you," Miss Parker whispered, almost inaudibly. Jarod was stunned. Of course he knew she felt something for him, but love? Wow! And the saddest thing was that he knew it was only Miss Parker who really did love him, the others had just started to know him…
Jarod couldn't lie. "I love you too," he whispered in her ear. Oh Parker, I wish I could just walk away with you and never come back, never have to think of any of this…
oOoOoOoOo
It was time for the third date, and Jarod saw her reddish hair long before he stood in front of her.
"Lexi!" he laughed as she saw the look on her face.
"Why the motorbike?" she asked with a smile. Oh he's so hot!
"I'll show you," Jarod gestured for her to sit down behind him. Lexi did as he said and the vehicle drove off in full speed.
Jarod didn't stop until they reached a beautiful beach. There was no one in sight and the wind was warm against their faces as they walked hand in hand.
"That was so cool," Lexi said. Jarod nodded with a grin.
"I knew you would like it."
They sat down in the sand and Jarod put his arm around Lexi's waist.
He gently kissed her and she gladly responded.
When they finally broke the kiss, they both smiled at each other.
"Oh J," Lexi purred. "I wanna get to know everything about you."
oOoOoOoOo
Jarod spent the last date bowling with Maria.
Maria smiled happily as she realized Jarod didn't do it any better than she did. And she thought she sucked at bowling.
"Hey! Don't give me that look. It's the first time I do this!" Jarod defended himself.
"Really?" Maria sounded surprised.
"Yapp," Jarod smiled dumbly.
"Well, what matters it that we are doing in together," Maria said and Jarod agreed.
When they were finished, and to her surprise Maria won, they sat down in one of the sofas at the café.
"I had such a great time Jarod; you're so easy to be around." He has to give me a rose! I want to be the one…
"It was wonderful; I never had this fun in a long time!" Jarod said, and he really meant it.
"I don't know what will happen at the next rose ceremony, but I have to tell you that I would do anything to get a rose. I really like you Jarod," Maria confessed.
Jarod nodded. "I like you too, you're so special," he said looking at her.
Maria smiled and Jarod kissed her.
oOoOoOoOo
To be honest Jarod had no idea of how he was going to be able to send one of these amazing women home. Each of them has so much to offer. They were all special in their own ways…
He suddenly thought of Miss Parker. What was he going to tell her? Could he really take the risk and give her a rose? Was he going to pick her in the end? Because he knew that if he wasn't, it would be better to let her go now than to give her false hopes…
He was sure all of the women was there for the right reasons, they really liked him.
Jarod shook his head. He just didn't know what to do. He would break one of the women's hearts, and he just didn't know who he could do that to.
oOoOoOoOo
TBC
AN/ Yes, no rose ceremony! I don't know who he will send home, I have to think of that… if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know!
