5. Double Take

Day 3
Two ladies today. Those that had the most valuable paintings the day before were to go with Maxon to a destination of his choice. Knowing of a popular nightclub, he chose to bring them there for dancing and drinks. It went very well. They were both dancing and chatting. There was even some flirting in their too.

And who should show up but his Best Friend, who also happened to be his identical twin brother, Arkkan. He was happy to see him but felt a bit awkward too. Especially with the initial double take that both ladies gave to him and his brother. Arkkan laughed it off easily. Maxon smiled and shook his head, then introduced them.

A while later, Arkkan bid his kind farewell and headed off to give his brother the space and time he needed. He was awesome like that.

When their gathering was coming to an end, he chose to give Malica a rose. Though he did come to care for them both. Later that night when the girls had settled before bedtime, he sat up and had a late night snack as he thought.

There was to be another elimination tonight and he was debating within his heart who it would be. Sadly, he kept going back to one. He was still waiting for a connection to form between them. But so far...still nothing. He didn't feel that she was very into him either. So, with a sigh of regret, he made his decision.

Farewell Serenity Eastman.

Another lady was gone from Maxon's life. Now there were only four left.

Which one will be his wife?

Alexis, Rosalie, Malica, and Joleen

Author's Note: I noticed that three out of four of the remaining contestants have blond hair. That is coincidence only and not intentional. I find it interesting though. Maybe they remind him of his beloved mother.  His twin was not the only one to have been at the bar, but he was the only one to come and say hi. His father, Arroden was there. Also a ghost of generations past, Rivarra.
