Chapter XI
It's Show Time The Instant Dating Game GETTING TO KNOW YOU
As the last commercial was about to end the stage announcer called out, "Ok people 1 minute and we're back on the air." He immediately ran to the girls and switched on each of their packs for the mics that were also attached to them.
"GOOD EVENING AGAIN EVERYONE! NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TED AND OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE TO MEET OUR LOVELY BACHELORETTES! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT TED?" "Well, Joe honestly a bit nervous and anxious, but I'm looking forward in getting to know them." Tom replied.
"GREAT! LET'S BEGIN. BACHELORETTE #1, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF." "Hi Joe, Ted!" Tiffany began and her voice was deepened a bit. "Well, I know one word to describe me and that's "beautiful." "OH REALLY NOW. SO WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?" "Other than being beautiful, well…I love to go shopping, go to parties, dancing, and drink." "AND WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A MAN?" "Oh, that's easy…he has to be good looking, rich, have a nice car and totally pay attention to me and buy things at all times." "OOOOK! WELL GOOD LUCK BACHELORETTE #1." "Thanks!" Tiffany replied bubbly. As Tiffany was talking, Tommy was making notes on a note pad that was on the table beside him. He had one sheet for each girl. On the first page, at the top titled 'GIRL #1.' Tommy wrote down: self-absorbed, cocky, gold digger, parties, drinks, shopping, conceited & spoiled. 'Talk about a Barbie.' Tommy thought.
"BACHELORETTE #2, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF." "Hi Ted, Joe." Joe nods his head at the young lady and Tommy greets back, "Hi!" "About me? Hmmm." Caitlin begins and her voice pitch was made higher. "I'm a bit shy at times with new people, but after talking to them for a bit I loosen up. I'm nice to just about everyone the first time meet them." "AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?" "I do like to shop, I love reading books and I always have one with me, listen to music, hang out with friends and family and walks on the beach." "WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN YOUR PRINCE CHARMING?" "That's a little tough. I mean I date, but not that often. But I guess someone who's sweet, caring, romantic, someone who loves to read as much as I do and then we could discuss the book, and a good listener as well as a conversationalist." "OK, GREAT!" Tommy flips to the second page of his note pad, 'GIRL #2' and wrote: shy, a little quiet, loves to read – book smart, likes to converse, nice, listens to music, sounds on the sensitive side, low esteem??.
"AND NOW, LAST, BUT NOT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, BACHELORETTE #3. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "Hi Ted! Hi Joe!" Joe nods again to acknowledge her and Tommy responds "Hello!" Jude starts off and her voice was changed to a bit of a higher pitch. "I think the one word that describes me is 'MUSIC,' It's my first love, my life and my world. I practically live, breathe and sleep music. I love to write and make music. I think the best way to really know me is through music. I'm also a straight forward person if I need to be, I'm also stubborn, I don't like it when people tell me what to do, but overall I think I'm a sweet girl." "LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE YOURSELF A HANDFUL HERE TED." Joe commented and Tommy just smiled. "AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR YOUR DREAM GUY?" "That's kind of tough question Joe. I thought I had 'MY DREAM GUY" not too long ago." Jude sighs and her mind drifts a bit to Tommy thinking about how they first met, the time they spent at the pier, the time when she played 'I'm In Love With My Guitar' at her high school, but still answering, "He was actually perfect in my eyes and could do no wrong, but to others he wasn't right for me." As Jude was speaking Tommy became very fascinated. "He knew me so well. I mean we could practically read each others minds, with just one look we knew what the other was thinking or feeling, whether it was good, bad or if one of was hurting. He was sweet, romantic and very original," Then she began to giggle as she was about say what was on her mind, "he was also very protective or rather possessive of me. It was annoying at times, but I knew he always meant well and wanted nothing but the best for me." "WOW, BACHELORETTE #3, HOW DID YOU LET THAT ONE GET AWAY?" "Ya know Joe, I ask myself that everyday." Jude responded and smiled. Tommy turned to the third page of his note pad, GIRL #3: music, to know her listen to her music, music is her, music is her life, her world, had a dream guy that was sweet, romantic, over protective, but over all cared, stubborn, controlling, and possibly sweet. 'Looks like this girl and her dream guy and had some problems, but were in love.' Tommy thought and his mind wandered to Jude again and what they had gone through. It sounds just like the girl here and the guy she had in her life.
