Week 4.1
Monday, Day 21


Ariana
Gardens, Early Morning

Ariana was instantly happy when she received Julius' invitation to join him for breakfast. She had already been up for awhile and ready for the day ,so with a quick stop by her bathroom mirror to 'Freshen Up' she was on her way.

Ariana and the Prince's last date had been an overwhelmingly intimate and romantic affair at the castle ruins and Ariana had fallen for him hard. She was just a little bit excited to spend some time alone with him.

I mean...can we just appreciate how beautiful this rainforest inspired setting is for just one minute? Yep, we're in love.

Prince Julius was pretty excited to see Ariana as well. He instantly pulled her into a lingering embrace and my heart melted.

The two lovebirds chatted happily on the patio for a few moments...

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-04-57nbspAM_zpszew55lle.png

...before rumbling from their stomaches and the rich delicious scent of freshly made 'French Toast' reminded the two that they were rather hungry and they wrapped up their conversation and headed over to their beautiful breakfast gazebo.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-06-03nbspAM_zpsfgb3vv35.png

The two sat in silence for a few moments as they savoured their dish, relaxed smiles transporting easily.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-07-06nbspAM_zps6jwkn74b.png

Things stayed 'Friendly' as breakfast wore on and their plates emptied. Prince Julius rolled a whim to 'Dance Together' with Ariana but he hadn't planned for any music and the setting/timing just didn't seem right so, we decided to pass on the dancing and see what else would come from the date.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-07-20nbspAM_zpsxwzrtvjt.png

Turns out that the light and happy conversation quickly turned into flirtatious and teasing looks and Julius almost immediately rolled the want to 'Kiss Ariana'. Now that I could do :wink:

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-08-29nbspAM_zpsd11zufmt.png

Knowing that their date was coming to an end and time was running out, Julius pulled Ariana from her seat. He smiled tenderly at her for a few moments before pulling her in for another lingering hug.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-10-52nbspAM_zpsxn9lv8qw.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-11-20nbspAM_zpswjjbn53a.png

Knowing that he couldn't leave their date without following the desire of his heart he leant in for a kiss, catching the girl off guard.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-12-02nbspAM_zpsp3xuyihr.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-12-28nbspAM_zpsjzete8la.png

Ariana's eyes shot open in surprise and her stomach exploded with a thousand butterflies. It took Ariana a few moments, but she eventually settled into the soft touch of Julius' lips and he deepened the kiss in response.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-13-27nbspAM_zpsgjd1pwsr.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-13-37nbspAM_zpskgycrkl5.png

There was some serious swooning afterwards and with a promise to see each other again soon Julius headed off to other side of the gardens for his next date.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-14-03nbspAM_zpsrh5mlxjf.png

I love simple dates like this - I mean, don't get me wrong I love the romantically intense dates as well - but there is something so special about seeing two happy people simply enjoying each other's company.

I just have a soft spot for romances build on friendship. As such I do NOT have a favourite contestant at this point in time...I have a few :P. Yep! I am officially rooting for a number of the girls and you'd be surprised by who has captured the prince's heart. Julius aspiration in life at this point in time is to find his 'Soul mate' and we all know how important friendship is to that aspiration. <3

Delia
Back Gardens, Mid-Day

I wasn't sure how this date was going to go after the beauty of the Prince's date with Ariana,but I was eager to see what these two would pull out of the bag. Knowing the Delia had to stay true to her love of jewel tones and knowing that nothing else seemed to really "be her" I switched up the colour of her classical dress from emerald green to this beautiful purple hue.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-42-29nbspAM_zpst46eg22r.png

Julius instantly approved of the vibrant colour...

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-42-09nbspAM_zpsj6ejfrb5.png

...and pulled Delia into a hug, his mood instantly shifting to 'Flirty'.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-43-37nbspAM_zpsjcg1p95z.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-45-55nbspAM_zpsjkwkdqch.png

Julius wasted no time 'Complimenting' Delia on her outfit and being the bold girl that she is...Delia grinned just as flirtatiously back and modelled the outfit from her best angles for him.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-45-17nbspAM_zpsqsgequa9.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-45-41nbspAM_zpsgan4gqqd.png

Go get him tiger!

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-45-55nbspAM-2_zpsymxvew3t.png

Julius had planned a rather simple afternoon for them and I like to think that they discussed what had transpired between Delia and Sophie after Sophie's elimination. It was no secret that the two had, had a massive split and I am certain that Julius wanted to touch base with Delia and offer some hope that their friendship could survive.

Thise two were really sweet together and the lemonade looked so dang delicious! It is like 30C here at the moment Ok. I would kill for a cool drink...BRB!

Anyway, things started to feel a little Disney-esque when Delia rose to fill the bird feeder and a number of brilliantly coloured birds instantly flew down.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-48-53nbspAM_zpsp6gyw9nn.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-49-15nbspAM_zps35zfzbaw.png

Knowing Sophie's penchant for fairytales, Julius was sure that feeding the birds reminded Delia of her friend and he pulled the beautiful brunette into a hug, wiping imaginary tears from her face.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-50-05nbspAM_zpsjowea6jf.png

And well... this is Julius, and he seems to be falling into a bit of pattern.

Is a girl crying?

Yes? Well, wipe the tears from her face.

Does she still seems down?

Yes? Well, give her a kiss...

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_10-50-30nbspAM_zps1q2j95uf.png

Ah Julius...we love you anyway. How many Kisses is that now anyway? First there was Prism (you know if we count stolen kisses), then came Dominique, Alexa, Addison, Skye, Ariana and now Delia. All up that comes to a grand total of 7 kisses! Phew, we are a little bit keen there aren't we buddy!

These two had their date meter in the Gold zone within a few minutes. No joke. They rocked up instantly flirty...got along like a house on fire and could not keep their hands off of each other until the end of their date. I didn't take any screenshots...but they were going at it well into the early hours of the evening and were starting to impede on the Prince's third date. Oops! Put those tounges away people! Things to do, people to see and places to be!

Prism
Fountain Courtyard, Evening

Can I just start off by saying that I love Prism. Before I'd even sent her out to join Julius for their date she'd rolled a want for him and I have never laughed so hard. Somebody - and I won't name, names - wanted to get in some good ol' Woohoo. I'm trying to keep this a clean/PG Friendly challenge sweet pea. Ah....such a good laugh. Anyway, Prism joined Julius out in the gardens at 7pm sharp - which I keep forgetting is still light in Windenburg.

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_6-41-12nbspPM_zpsbxepqir0.png

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r608/hjwright01/10-09-16_6-41-44nbspPM_zps2ehxhz0u.png

I mean, I'm not complaining...the lighting in Windenburg is beautiful but I was desperate for the sunset to set by the time 8pm rolled around. Maybe it was a glitch...but Julius and Prism enjoyed a lovely conversation on the couches while we waited for night to roll in. It was meant to be a late dinner date after all.

Ok...so the conversation didn't last very long. Shoot me!

When the two lovebirds finally disengaged from each other the sun had set and dinner was served.
And believe it or not, the two actually had a great conversation and worked on bumping their friendship meter higher.

I love Prism's hair here. She might be a nutter, but the girl is actually crazy beautiful. Ha! See what I did there? Yeah... ok... only funny to myself. Eh. I can live with that!

Right yeah...so I mean they did actually talk - you know, for awhile - it's not like they practically raced to the hot tub after dinner and got stuck back into it or anything... *shifty eyes*
