Breathe Rosa, jeez.

   I am beyond nervous for this... and by this I mean seeing Paul. What if he is disappointed I agreed to do this? What if he only agreed to do this season because I ruined his game last year? What if-

My thoughts were interrupted by Rick from production signaling me to get ready to go in.

"Rosa, you need to step in front of the door with your bag now please." He busied himself by talking to another guy in production informing him about something.

I tightened my grip on my bag. "I can do this, I can do this-"

"Sorry what'd you say?" Rick walked closer to me.

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Uh--it was nothing. I'm just a bit nervous is all," I shrugged.

He patted my back, "You'll be great."

I frowned as my stomach churned. "Yeah I'm not so sure."

He pressed his headphone set tighter on his ear before looking back at me. "Well, I guess you will find out now."

"Huh?" My head turned to the side in confusion.

"You're up," he gestured to the door before opening it.

I took a deep breath as I stared at the second door, knowing Paul is just beyond it probably giving the other houseguest hell already.

As I heard the doorbell sound I clasped my hand on the doorknob. My nerves settled as I thought about last summer and I got a rush of adrenaline and thought "screw it."

I threw the door open. "What's up assholes!" I screamed walking in.

Sixteen strangers jumped up from the couch and started screaming a bunch of nonsense.

My eyes searched for Paul and once I found him the world stopped. He looked shocked. He looked good, even better than I remembered.

I couldn't help big smile that made its way on my face. "You didn't save me a bracelet?" Of course the first thing that came into my mind was to tease him.

   His face broke out into the biggest smile I had ever seen him have. Before I realized it Paul had made his way over to me and wrapped me up in his arms and spun me around. I quickly returned the embrace best that I could.

He put me down and rested both of his hands against my face. "Am I dreaming?"

I chuckled, "Yes and it looks like a nightmare."

He shook his head smiling, "I was just thinking to myself, 'How the hell am I going to survive without Rosa?' And in you walked in."

I laughed before getting interrupted by the other houseguest greeting me.

"I'm a huge fan, you kicked ass last season! I'm Alex!" A very tiny adorable girl pulled me into a hug.

As I hugged her back I looked over at Paul who was still smiling at me. I smiled back, shaking my head.

It's good to be back.

After meeting the other houseguest Julie called us back into the living room, "Hello Rosa."

I laughed and greeted her back as well.

Since there are so many houseguest we didn't have much room to sit. Hey, I'm not complaining, I was sat on Paul's lap as he hugged me and rested his head against my back.
