I own none of this except my ideas. Characters for the most part are Stephanie Myers. About to go buy Sims 3!!!! SOOOOOO excited!

Remember to Read and Review!!!!


Laurent was in complete misery. Acting was not his forte, and he was the following act for Rupert Grint. He knew he had to get his inspiration from something. He peered out behind the curtain to see the gorgeous Bella in a pure red ball gown. All the men were in a Tux with a red tie that matched Bella's dress. The Theater was absolutely beautiful, and rather too large for their small party, but Laurent didn't mind. He absolutely enjoyed traveling to different places. He didn't enjoy being too close to people, so he kept himself separate from most of the other contestants on the show. He was not surprised to be the only African-American male participating in the show, and to have even made it to the top 12 was a surprise. In the history of Finding Love no African American male or female had ever made it to the top 12. The show doesn't even have black Bachelors or Bachelorettes. He was making history, so he had to get the girl. His inspiration came back. He was preparing to sing one of his favorite songs. It was short and sweet, but said everything he wanted to tell Bella.

He heard claps resounding outside, so he looked out to the stage. Rupert took a bow, and jumped off the stage.

Laurent walked on the stage, and began to speak. "This song is one of my favorites, and I have waited my entire life to sing it to someone I wanted. So here it goes."

Bella was excited. She had to say that having all this attention surrounding her was kind of nice. She had never been one to attract attention, but ever since they started giving her attention she couldn't stop basking in the glow of it. Her smile increased as she heard the sweet sound of the famous song sung by The Temptations.

"I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day." Laurent gave her a million-watt smile, "when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May."

He had the voice of a black Motown performer. His hands were snapping to the beat. By the time he had finished, Bella's heart was feeling a little overworked, even Rupert Grint's humorous monologue didn't make her feel like that. Rupert was a funny chum, but his mind seemed more focused on his acting career then on Bella. But the network insisted that he stayed for at least two eliminations to at least keep their ratings up high.

The clapping for Laurent had finally died down, and a nervous Jonathan ran to the stage. He literally opened his jacket pocket, pulled out a folded sheet of paper, and mumbled the entire thing on his paper.

Bella kept nodding her head as if she was hearing the words he whispered. Dan was mocking him from offstage, Rupert was zoning out, and Laurent was trying not to laugh. When Jonathan finally finished, the entire crew and cast were clapping and giving him a standing ovation. He beamed from the stage, jumped down and gave Bella a kiss on the cheek.

Bella wasn't sure what to do, "So can I keep the poem?" She asked so sweetly.

"I'm not sure you want it. It's not that great." His face started to get bright red.

"We all gave you a standing ovation! It was amazing."

"Okay sure." He passed it over to her. Bella folded it and put it in her clutch.

"Thank you." She squeezed his hand.

Dan confidently walked as light claps welcomed him to the stage.

"Bella, this is for you."

And the song started with a bang. Dan threw his hands up and started dancing to the one song that no one really expects on a show.

Bella's face dropped in shock. Beyonce's amazing voice blasted through the speakers in her hit single "All the single ladies". It was becoming apparent to the audience that Dan was not joking around. He was as serious as a bee finding the everlasting honey flower.

Jasper was fully enjoying this embarrassing moment. Everyone was a little surprised, yet no one knew how to react. Some were nodding their heads trying to hold back their laughs, others were so disgusted they just couldn't look at the stage. Rupert Grint had his hands in this face covering his mouth, maybe so the viewers wouldn't view him as a jerk. Whereas Jonathan decided that laughing out loud with tears streaming down his face made him an angel.

When the dance was over, Dan took his bow with so much pride in his face. It was completely silent. Until Bella started to clap, then most of the crew and contestants also joined in. Sweating he came down the stage and took off his shirt to reveal an amazing body. He came over to Bella and leaned down to give her a hug.

"Did you like it?"

"Absolutely loved it! Um…where did you learn how to dance like that?"

"Funny story." Dan flipped his hands out. "I was just youtubing some videos, and I found some step by step directions on how to do the dance. And you know it was like I had to immediately learn how to do it. I was just so excited when I actually got it."

"Wow, so you like to dance?"

"Love it. I can't wait to learn how to do like the skanky leg and stuff."

Laurent stepped in. "Have you started learning any other types of dance?"

Dan looked at Laurent. "I would love for you to teach me how to Salsa. I really admire your dancing skills. I really want to learn from you. Your just so graceful when you dance."

Laurent's face dropped. "Thanks. I learned at young."

Bella was in confused. Dan was gay. Why the hell was he on her show if he was gay? He literally wasted her time. Bella was trying not to make her face turn bright red.

"Guys you did a fabulous job, but only one of you can win. So the winner of this competition, and who will get one-on-one time with me is Laurent."

Claps and cheers rang as Laurent's smile reached his eyes. He jumped up, kissed her Bella on the cheek, and grabbed her hand. A comfy sitting area on the opposite side of the theater was set up with candles and blankets. They both got comfortable before they started talking. Talking was easy with Laurent. He has this comfortableness about him that made Bella tell him everything she was feeling. After a while, she realized she had no idea who this person in front of her was.

"Wow. I need to know so much more about you."

"No, listening to you talk is nice."

"I need to know more so you can stay."

"Well, if you put it that way, I'll tell you anything."

"Where did you grown up?"

"Miami."

"Oh okay, do you have any brothers and sisters?"

"Nope, none."

Asking him questions was like trying to milk a cow with cold fingers. "So do you still live with your parents?"

"Bella!"

"What? It's a reasonable question."

"No, I don't live with my parents. I moved out when I was eighteen."

"Did you learn how to dance from your city or did you parents teach you?"

"Yeah, my parents taught me. My mother is actually the owner of the Dancing School I work at. My father can dance too, but my mother is the actual passionate one in the relationship."

"Where are your parents from?"

"They were both raised in Cuba. My mother's family bought many tickets to bring all their relatives out of Cuba. It cost them an arm and a leg. So when my parents arrived here they had to start from scratch."

"So were you born before or after the dancing school was created?"

"I was actually adopted by them when I was about 4. Their school was already in progress, so I literally grew up learning how to dance."

"That sounds awesome. You have to teach me something."

"Maybe I should just start a class, because I think Dan really wants to learn too."

Bella started to giggle. "I really don't know what to do about that."

"Send him home! He's obviously not here for you. And that's the whole point about being here."

"I just don't really know if he's gay or not. Some people are just a little bit more feminine than the rest."

Laurent gave Bella the look. "Honey, are you telling me you think he isn't gay? And you like that type of thing?"

"Good point."

"I know."

And with that their time was over.


Mike and Bella were really getting along. Laughing and talking about life, funny stories of childhood, fishing trips as they got older, but the only thing that was wrong was a person was missing from the conversation.

Eric sat very quietly in the corner for a long period of time. At first most of the crew and Bella thought he was a sleep, but once Bella called his name, he looked right up. When she would ask questions, he would be very vague and go back to putting different bait on different fishing hooks. His behavior was just plain weird, but Mike and Bella's relationship was thriving from Eric's lack of interest.

Bella started to wonder if Eric knew that he would go home if he didn't fight for her. Eric caught 12 bass, and was commended with a hug from Bella. But yet again he didn't respond back, with a touch or a squeeze, nothing. Bella was a bit disappointed. And when it came to giving the rose to Mike or Eric, she handed it to Mike. And watched as Eric just got up, and walked away. She had no idea what was going on, but she had never felt so unloved. 'Your either here for me or your not.'

Mike was completely psyched that he had a rose. He didn't care that Eric was ruined his chances with Bella, because Mike had almost a one on one date with Bella. And tonight, he wasn't going to have to worry about being here. He already had a rose.

"So Mike, I don't really know about your background?"

"Well, I was raised in Forks, Washington. It's a really quiet town. I'm a really laid-back guy. I don't really need adventure to survive. When I get old I just expect to have children and an amazing wife."

"Are you still going to be in Forks?"

"I plan to live in the Forks for the rest of my life. I love it there. You would too."

"Why would I love it?"

"Everyone is very close knit. Everyone knows everybody. Although it rains a ton, it is a very quaint happy town. Really relaxing. It's perfect for you."

Bella didn't respond. She never really pictured herself in a busy city, but at least a city with a personality. Maybe Forks would have that old-timer personality.

"Well, Mike. Thanks for sharing. But we have to go get ready for the first rose elimination. And we smell like fish."

"I wish this moment could last forever. I could sit here for the rest of my life, and still not know everything about you that I want to.


That night, Edward, Evan, and Mike sat on the couch with their roses, while everyone else scurried around to make their last impressions on Bella. Halfway through the night, everyone was called to the main room. Everyone was joking around when Rosalie walked into the room.

"Hey guys."

"Hi Rosie." All the boys snickered.

"Tonight is a really important night. Eric has already gone home today, and two more will follow him. But here to help Bella make this hard decision is Alice. Bella's bestfriend."

Bella stood up squealing and went to hug her best friend. She grabbed her hand and brought her into another room to discuss the nervous boys in the other room.

Emmett was nervous because Rosalie was explaining that each of them had to talk to Alice. Edward was nervous, because he knew that a way into any girl's heart was through her best friend. Jacob was nervous, because he hadn't really talked to Bella at all. Dan was nervous, because everyone was saying he was gay behind his back. And Jasper, Jasper was nervous because the girl he was going to marry just walked into the room.

And wow, I really didn't know that it was going to be so hard to let people go….Tears!!!! Next chapter is going to be where all the action begins!
