Thank you so much for reading :) Please Vote and tell me what you think! :) Enjoy

I had been here a whole twenty four hours now and this has been the most excitement that had ever been in my life. So much drama. I wasn’t really a fan. We had to be up and ready by nine in the morning. And guess who was knocking on my door at nine sharp. 

I had decided to wear something simple today. A yellow sundress, a little bit of makeup and nude colored pumps. I liked to have fun with what I wore sometimes but here I had to keep up the formality. 

“One minute,” I yelled as I finished up my hair, pulling half of it up and letting my bottom waves fly freely. I looked good but still modest. I was aiming for that today. I would focus on getting Philip’s attention today because even if he was not one of the bachelors, at least he was part of the family and not going to get me killed in the process... like Luke.

As I opened the door I prepared myself for Luke’s bizarre behavior. “I’m ready.” When he saw me he looked me up and down. Did he just check me out? Did he just CHECK me OUT? “Are you checking me out?” I asked disbelief palpable in the voice. What am I going to do about him?  

He seemed surprised but composed himself quickly and bowed. “Miss Petrova.” A hint of a smile playing in his perfectly chiseled full lips. 

“Mr. Brown.” I responded. He had to stop. This would be nothing more than a work relationship. Nothing more than what? Acquaintances? Friends? He was nice. 

He held his hand out for me and we proceeded to walk down the stairs. The fact that we couldn’t flirt doesn’t mean I can’t check him out too right? I’ll have to say he is just perfect. He was unbelievably tall, has straight black hair falls on his forehead in a sexy way, and those light blue eyes that seemed like they could see right through you. He was beautiful. 

He glanced my way for the briefest moment and I blushed. Shit. He caught me staring. “Are you checking me out Miss Petrova?” He asked mockingly. 

“Umm.. Me? No... Never.”I tried responding casually but he knew better. He smiled at me, a dazzling smile. Yes.. He was more than beautiful. 

As we reached the bottom of the stairs he let me go and turned me so I would be facing him. “You can check me out whenever you want.” He whispered in a seductive, soft, velvet voice. “Have fun Emily.” He whispered so close to my ear that I got the shivers. I closed my eyes and my head, involuntarily, moved towards where he had just spoken. As he pulled away his face his lips touched my cheek ever so lightly. He was planning on killing me, not on getting me killed, but on killing me himself. I was going to emotionally combust. He was going to drive me insane.  

He pulled away and then was gone leaving me close eyed and looking like a fool. Yes, looking like the fool I had just been for falling for that again. I needed to regain my self control. No love remember.. It is just weakness. 

For a second I was lost. Where am I supposed to go.. and then I heard the noise and girl chatter near by. That should be my destination. I walked into the room and the other three girl were there as well. As I walked across the small saloon and sat down at the nearest empty chair, a lady around her mid forties entered the room. 

“Okay ladies so we have a lot to do today. My name is Monica and I will be your mentor for this week.” She started as she walked across the room making eyes contact with all of us and then going back to the Ipad in her hands. “As of right now, you are supposed to be here getting to know each other. You have one hour.” She said looking away from her tablet again. “I will be back then.” She turned and left.
