Wednesday

I made my way to the main house Wednesday morning, wearing sunglasses, hoping the movement and light wouldn't trigger a recurrence.

There was French toast waiting for me when I walked in, with powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon sprinkled over it. "I am in love with eating at this house."

Phillip smiled and winked at me, telling me he was today's chef.

"Will there be torturing today?" Mike asked.

"Yes. A one-on-one torturing, as a matter of fact."

"Oh?" he said with a raised eyebrow.

I smiled at him, and then directed it to the rest of the group. "This gets real simple, real fast, guys. There are two of you who have not had a one-on-one yet. Surprisingly enough, those are the two who will get this week's dates. The remaining five are getting a group date."

Liam and Trevor stood, both with expectant looks on their faces.

"Trevor today. Liam, you were supposed to be yesterday and it's been rescheduled for tomorrow."

Trevor smiled and headed for the stairs.

"You need swim trunks," I called after him.

"Yeah," he called back and waved his arm in acknowledgement.

I finished eating as the rest of the guys began glancing at each other around the room. I could only imagine that they might be wondering who would be the first ones to get a second one-on-one next week.

We left shortly after Trevor came down. We climbed into the car and the driver pulled away from the curb.

I was just pulling off my sunglasses, since we were behind the tinted windows now, when Trevor started talking.

"Nothing like trying to keep me waiting until the last minute," he quipped.

I shook my head at him. "You don't get to call me out on that. We had all kinds of one-on-one time, you big cheater. We went shopping before the show even started, you stole conversations at my pool, you stole an entire one-on-one date, and then you stole about two-thirds of a day yesterday. Quite frankly, you shouldn't really be getting a formal one-on-one at all."

His smile was smug. "So why am I?"

"Because, I'm trying to keep up appearances. I don't want the public, or the guys, thinking that I might be avoiding the date for some reason. And I certainly don't want them guessing at what that reason might be."

The smile turned self-indulgent, like he thought I was doing him some special favor by trying to cover for him. I had to wonder if they all thought I was trying to cover for them. Mike and his runs, Liam and his late night visit, the guys and that dinner, Phillip's stolen kisses, the date I stole with Jared. None of us were playing fair, except maybe for Drake and Stephen.

That line of thought made me wonder what it said about me and my character that Drake was the one on his way out the door this week and Stephen, well... The man hadn't done a single thing wrong, which was probably why he had fallen down off the red and pink charts altogether.

"Where are we off to?" he asked.
