Chapter 23

2 days later  (Saturday, June 8th, 2024)

* Omniscient POV *

After a short break, Lewis and the ladies went back to their usual routine. Today was exciting because it was time for the first one-on-one date. Each lady was eager to find out who would get the special date. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and guesses as they all waited to see who would be chosen.

* Knock knock *

Madina: " We got a date card ladies."

(She gathered everyone and made the big announcement. Everyone listened closely, excited to hear who would get the next one-on-one date.)

Susie: " Read it."

Madina: " Lauren, Love is soaring to new heights! Pack your sense of adventure and your appetite for romance, because this date is sure to be a grand slam! ~ Lewis."

Lauren J: "Sounds romantic. I'm so excited."

Ariel: " I'm so happy for you."

Lauren: " Thanks, babe. Now let's go help me pick out an outfit."

(As Ariel spoke, her excitement took over, and she jumped off the couch to hug her friend. She was thrilled for Lauren's first one-on-one date and genuinely happy for her. Despite the competition, Ariel deeply cares for Lauren and admires her strong feelings for Lewis. Their bond went beyond the shared goal of winning his heart; they had promised each other that if one of them won, the other would be at their wedding and be part of their future. This promise highlighted how much they valued their friendship. For Ariel, Lauren was more than just a competitor; she was a true friend whose support made the journey more meaningful. Regardless of what happened with Lewis, their friendship would remain strong.)

Ariel: " You look amazing love."

Lauren: " Thank you."

Ariel: " So how do you feel about you know who left last night?"

Lauren: " Good riddance. Like I know we're all competing for the same guy but what she did was uncalled for because I've always been so nice to her."

Ariel: " You have. Also, if you have to lie to win a guy over then that guy just isn't for you sweetie."

Lauren: " Exactly. I pray vying for the man of my dreams doesn't turn me into what she was."

Ariel: " You'll never be anything like her and
don't you forget it?"

Lauren: " Thanks love."

(She said as she went downstairs to meet Lewis, who was waiting for her.)

Lewis: " Here she comes."

Lauren: " How long have you been here? I'm so sorry."

(She said with a playful pout, making him smile. He had been looking forward to this date with Lauren, and every moment apart made him more excited for their time together.)

Lewis: " I haven't been here that long."

(He replied as they said goodbye to the other ladies, leaving right as their conversation began. Their strong chemistry was clear, creating a thrill of excitement around them. Their connection felt so intense it was almost like a physical presence.)
