3 days later (Monday, July 8th, 2024)

* Group date and cocktail party *

* Omniscient POV *

As the other 6 ladies sat in the living room of the villa waiting for a date card. They engaged in conversation about what Fiji had to offer and how excited they were to see Lewis once again.

* Knock knock *

Madina: " I'll get it."

(She took the date card and walked in confidently, holding it up for everyone to see.)

Claire: " What does it say?"

Madina: " Ariel, Kelsey, Madina. Come with me to see what Fiji has to offer. ~ Lewis."

(She read the card out loud, and the ladies cheered with excitement. After settling down, they went upstairs to prepare. Once they were ready, they went to meet Lewis. On the shore of a beautiful Fiji beach, Lewis felt a thrill of anticipation as he watched the waves gently roll in. Soon, Ariel, Kelsey, and Madina arrived, their eyes wide with awe as they took in the stunning scenery.)

Lewis: "Welcome, ladies, to our group date in paradise!"

Ariel: "Wow, Lewis, this place is incredible!"

Kelsey: "I can't believe we get to experience Fiji like this!"

Madina: Thank you for having us, Lewis. This is truly a dream come true."

Lewis: "I'm thrilled to have you all here with me. Today, we're going to explore the wonders of Fiji together."

(He responded as an unfamiliar person approached. A guide arrived, carrying a set of surfboards.)

Guide: "Bula! Are you ready to catch some waves?"

Lewis: "Absolutely! Surfing in Fiji has always been on my bucket list."

Ariel: "I've never surfed before, but I'm up for the challenge!"

Kelsey: "Same here! Let's do this!"

(Following the instructor's instructions, they eagerly entered the water, excitement clear as they climbed onto their surfboards. Their laughter blended with the sound of crashing waves as they began to surf. Each exhilarating ride brought a surge of adrenaline, filling them with a joyful sense of freedom.)

Lewis: "You're all naturals out there! I'm impressed."

Ariel: "This is amazing! I never want to leave."

Kelsey: "I feel like I'm flying!"

Madina: "I could do this every day."

(She said with excitement as they followed the instructor's tips, riding the waves with growing skill and confidence. Their laughter mixed with the sound of the ocean as they mastered surfing. Afterward, they gathered around a bonfire on the beach, enjoying the beautiful sunset.)

Lewis: "What better way to end a perfect day than with a traditional Fijian feast?"

(He said, pointing to the spread of tasty food in front of them, including fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and traditional Fijian dishes.)

Ariel: "This looks incredible!"

Kelsey: "I can't wait to try everything!"

Madina: Thank you, for this unforgettable experience."

Lewis: "Cheers to new adventures and unforgettable moments in Fiji!"

(He said as they raised their glasses, the bonfire's light casting a soft glow on their faces. Surrounded by the stunning Fiji coastline, they felt deeply connected. After a delicious meal filled with laughter and stories, Lewis made sure to speak with each lady individually, eager to strengthen their bonds. As the night drew to a close, they left the beach feeling hopeful about what lay ahead. Excitedly, they returned to their villas to prepare for the cocktail party.)

Ariel: "You guys look amazing."

Kelsey: "So do you A."

Madina: "Lewis is a lucky man."

Ariel: "Yes he is. We're also pretty lucky because he's a great guy."

(She replied as they made the final touches for the evening's cocktail party. Each lady felt a mix of emotions, knowing that one of them would have to leave soon. After carefully choosing their outfits and adding some glamour, they went downstairs, their footsteps soft in the evening light. When they arrived at the poolside, they saw Lewis waiting, his presence bringing warmth and comfort amid their nerves.)

Lewis: "You ladies look amazing."

Ladies: "Thank you."

Ariel: "You look pretty handsome, yourself."

Madina: "Yes you do."

Lewis: "Thank you. Let's make a toast. Cheers to an amazing day in Fiji and a beautiful journey to find love."

Ladies: "Cheers!!"

(They said together as Lewis invited each of them for a private chat. There wasn't a group date rose this week, so there was no need to compete. Lewis focused on getting to know the real them, beyond just the fun and laughter. As the night went on, deep conversations helped him connect with each woman on a more personal level. By the end of the evening, he felt hopeful about finding true love and appreciated the meaningful moments he was able to have with all of the ladies.)
