Caught Up ~ Lewis Hamilton

Chapter 10

Week 9 of The Bachelorette

* Lewis POV *

Samantha: " It's time for the finale you guys."

Nicola: " Now Lewis will see how the finale usually happens. It's usually live and has a studio audience watching it together."

Lewis: " So is the lead usually there also?"

Nicola: " Yes in the finale, the lead and the person he chose will be there along with their families showing how supportive they are in the relationship."

Carmen: " That's nice. That means the finale for Lewis wouldn't be until March."

Nicola: " Yes. Now that I think about it, Lewis' 40th Birthday will be the same week as his season premiere, so he'll still be in hiding if he leaves in a relationship."

Nicolas: " That's true. I didn't think about that."

Carmen: " We might have to throw a house party for his 40th Birthday if he wants to be able to celebrate with everyone."

(Her suggestion made me stop and think. I hadn't realized that my 40th birthday was coming up and that any celebration would have to be private due to our situation. It was a sobering thought, but I accepted that some private time away from the public would be necessary.)

Lewis: " I think that's fine. As long as I'm with you guys that's all that matters."

Samantha: "Exactly."

Carmen: " I forgot that Aaron showed back up."

Samantha: " I was just about to say the same thing."

Carmen: " Why did she even tell him to stay?"

Lewis: " This is just Charity being too nice."

Nicola: " Their date was cringe as hell and now we're going to have to see her send him home again."

Nicolas: " I'm embarrassed for him."

Carmen: " And they made him enter last."

Nicola: " That's so petty."

Samantha: " That white dress looks amazing on Charity though."

Carmen: " It does. Once again she can do no wrong."

(My mom commented as the rose ceremony started. Joey received the first rose, marking the beginning of the ceremony. After that, Charity had a private talk with Aaron to end things before giving the final rose to Dotun.)

Samantha: " We already knew that's how that was going to end."

Carmen: " It was pretty silly to bring him back just for the night."
