Melody's POV

After the rose ceremony is over and all the girls leave, Tyler and Chris say goodnight then they disappear.

"Woo hell yeah top 25!" Brynn yells raising her glass.

All the girls laugh and cheer, raising their glasses also. After a minute, the producer comes in and gives each of us a notecard containing a number room and the names of our roommates. It seemed like they watched over the night and looked at each interaction then formed the roommates from there.

"Alright girls what room number and who are you rooming with?" Scarlett asks as she holds her pink notecard.

Caelynn smiles widely holding a yellow notecard. She looks at mine and Brynn's then pulls us into a hug.

"It looks like we're roomies. Room three with Brynn and Melody!"

I smile and hug her back, "Awesome! So judging by the pink notecards that you guys have..."

"We're roomies too!" Mila cheers throwing her arms over Scarlett and Charlotte's shoulders.

"And we are your next door neighbors." Charlotte smiles.

We all cheer and head on our way upstairs to our rooms. We were on the second level. Thank goodness I don't think I could walk up another set of stairs to the third level.

Once we step foot in our room we see our luggage already laid out on our beds. I'm on the left side, Caelynn is in the middle, and Brynn is on the right. A small fireplace sits beside my bed and a large beautifully engraved window is behind Caelynn's bed.

I fall back onto my bed with a huff. Holding the rose up to the ceiling, I smile lightly. Getting the impression rose was a dream... now keeping up Tyler's interest in me is gonna be a little tough.

The next morning, I wake up and glance over at the alarm clock between Caelynn and I's bed.

9:30am

Sitting up quietly I rub my eyes and yawn. Glancing over at the two sleeping figures I decide that I'm too excited to fall back asleep. I get an outfit out for the day and grab my toothbrush, lotion, spray, and deodorant then hurry to the bathroom. The mustard yellow bathroom is large and beautiful. There is plenty of brick all around. Making it look elegant and classy. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling and again a fireplace is in the corner of the room.

"Wow whoever designed this place loves fireplaces." I mumble to myself as I set down all my stuff on the sink.

I hurry and brush my teeth then go to the shower and turn on one of the two shower heads. Why is there two shower heads? I have no idea.

After a ten minute shower, I get out and get dried. Then I lotion up and put on deodorant. I put on a black bondage swimsuit and some blue jean shorts then leave out the bathroom.

"Hey Melody!"

I turn around to see Evelyn walking up to the bathroom.

"Oh hey! How'd you sleep?"

"Great! I can't believe we're here right now. I'm in a mansion. This is a dream."

"I know!"

We talk for another minute then she hurries to the bathroom before someone takes it. When I get back to my room, Caelynn and Brynn are finally awake.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning and I'm awake right now... what is happening?"

I laugh looking over at Brynn, "What do you mean? Ten is like the average time everyone wakes up if they don't work."

Brynn shakes her head with wide eyes, "Oh no. Not this gal. Twelve is a perfect time for me."

Caelynn and I laugh at the dramatic girls antics. I sit on my bed then feel two bounces as the girls sit too.

"So what's the plan for today?"

I didn't even notice that they were also ready. They both wore swimsuits and shorts making me think we all had the same idea.

"Definitely need to check out the magnificent pool. It's insane."

They nod and together we make our way downstairs. Noticing we are the first ones down we go to the kitchen and see a note on the counter. It's not a date card because it's not in an envelope.

Brynn picks it up and reads it, "Girls, today feel free to do whatever you like. There is nothing planning for the day so take this time to relax and think. Also there is a phone booth available for use once a day. In order to use it, you have to come to the tech room and get the key from someone in there. Signed by Laura the producer."

"Cool. I thought we would be tortured and not allowed to speak to our family."

I nod looking at Caelynn, "Yeah exactly. I really need to keep in contact with them."

I decide not to tell them about Nova... yet. Me having a child will make an even bigger scandal than me kissing Tyler. Speaking of Tyler, I want... no need to tell him about Nova. I just need to figure out when and how.

"Anybody want an omelet?" Caelynn smiles as she opens the massive fridge.

"Yeah awesome I'll make bacon." Brynn jumps across the kitchen happily.

"I guess I can make fruit salad."

The girls nod quickly as I make my way to the counter containing a ton of fruit. I grab a knife out the drawer and find a cutting board then make a large bowl of mixed fruit. Caelynn makes six omlettes and lay them on six different plates. Brynn makes a ton of bacon and then adds three pieces to each plate.

"Alright let me go see if the others are still asleep." Brynn runs out the kitchen.

"She is something else."

"Yes she really is." I laugh.

Caelynn and I make a few trips to and from the kitchen carrying all our breakfast foods to a large table outside by the pool. We decided that us girls should get to know each other and have a family breakfast together. We set down the last of the food then sit in two chairs beside each other.

"So you missing your family yet? I feel like I may be a little over dramatic but I miss them so much. I don't think I've been away from them this long. I live near my family so I can just drive five minutes to them whenever I want. But now I can't."

If anyone will understand and not totally judge me, I think Caelynn would definitely be the right girl to tell first.

I look over at Caelynn and smile sadly, "I do too. Believe me I miss them more than you can imagine. I haven't said anything yet or told anyone but you cannot and I repeat can not tell anyone. Do you understand?"

Caelynn looks serious and nods. I sigh then start to play with my rings.

"I have a kid. A three year old girl. Her name is Nova. I have never been away from her this long and this is killing me. I'm so glad we have the phone booth or honestly I might have gone crazy."

"Aw honey that's so cute. I love that name. And oh my gosh I won't tell anyone. That's none of their business. Have you told Tyler yet?"

I frown and shake my head, "Don't know how or when..."

Caelynn bites her lip and thinks, "Well I think before week three you should tell him. I think that's kind of when it's less girls and it's a little bit more intimate and that's when he looking for women that stand out. You know?"

I nod still feeling anxious as I glance at the hidden cameras, "You think he'll be okay with it. I mean if he's not then I can't stay. Nova is the world to me. We're a package deal."

Caelynn nods with her award winning smile as she holds my hand, "Mel he would be an idiot to not be okay with it. Look at you... you're beautiful, intelligent, and you already having a child shows him that you're that much more serious. You are taking care of a living thing and looking for love. He should be happy with you even telling him."

"You're right."

"Damn right I'm right."

We laugh and then hear a stampede of feet coming near. Our group of friends run down the stairs and over to the table with huge grins covering their faces.

"Aw you guys are so cute! Thanks for this!" Scarlett smiles as she hugs Caelynn and I.

"And what am I... chopped liver?"

Scarlett rolls her eyes and hugs Brynn who stops frowning and instantly grins.

"Thank you, you big baby."

"I resent that."

"You would." Mila jokes as she takes the vacant chair beside me.

Brynn sticks her tongue out at Mila's back then sits across from her. Scarlett sits across from me and Charlotte sits across from Caelynn.

As we're eating and getting to know each other we suddenly start to play truth or dare. We cheer as Brynn steps out the pool and sits in her chair, soaking wet.

"You didn't have to jump in fully clothed! You're wearing a bathing suit!"

Scarlett pushes Brynn's arm laughing. Brynn raises an eyebrow and smirks.

"But then I wouldn't be myself... would I?"

"No you wouldn't." Charlotte smiles looking at Brynn who instantly jumps out her chair and walks closer to her.

"You're next little one."

Charlotte gets out her seat and runs away from Brynn who quickly follows her.

"Come on give me a hug."

Charlotte, who was not thinking about the pool, takes steps closer towards it. Within a second, she is pushed into it by Brynn who is then pushed in by Scarlett. Charlotte comes up for air and then splashes Brynn angrily.

"Brynn!"

Brynn looks up at the pool in surprise wondering who had secretly come up behind her. She sees Scarlett and shakes her head.

"I should've known. My arch nemesis."

I laugh and poke Mila and Caelynn pointing at Scarlett who stands on the edge smirking, looking down at Brynn.

"Oh whatever. You guys are so clueless sometimes. You have to keep your focus otherwise you end up at the bottom of the-"

She screams as three pairs of hands push her into the water. On her way down she grabs a hand and tugs the person with her. Scarlett comes up out the water and looks around to see Mila wiping her face and eyes.

"Ugh you weren't supposed to grab me Scar."

Scarlett laughs and looks up at Caelynn and I. We were still safe and dry.

"Oh come on... don't leave us hanging."

Caelynn looks over at me and shrugs then holds out a hand. I grab hers and we take five steps back then run towards the pool and jump in. We come up for air and hear cheering from our friends.

"Now the party has started."

We laugh and splash Brynn then continue to swim around for the rest of the evening.

Looking around at all these girls I know that I am blessed to have met them. They are new friends for life and I couldn't imagine being here with anyone else.
