Reuben greeted me at the door of the ballroom with a warm embrace but I was not my usual bubbly self.
“Hi, beautiful, wow you look like a princess tonight.”
Reuben kissed my hand just like the first time we met.
“Thanks, Reuben.” I looked down and did not make eye contact.
“What’s wrong, Mel? What has happened has your stalker returned or been released?” He lifted me up and we looked into each other's eyes.
“No, nothing like that."
"Well something is wrong, I can tell, I know you so well, Mel."
"Please put me down, Reuben.”
“Then what? it seems all the ladies are upset about something tonight.”
“I’m not all those ladies Reuben,” I said raising my voice and removing my mask.
“I know, I'm sorry. Hey, look at me, Mel, please talk to me. Tell me what is wrong. Our last date was so perfect."
"It has nothing to do with our date, as you said it was perfect. It was afterwards when the producer interviewed you..."
"Let's go and sit down inside, there are separate little booth rooms where we won't be interrupted."
Reuben led me into one of the booths and we sat and talked.
"What about the interview?"
"When you talked to Aston, I didn’t appreciate you telling the world about our feelings for each other, that was something for our private conversations.”
“What did I say, I don’t remember saying anything too private.”
“You said that you ‘needed’ me, and we had an ‘undeniable strong connection’, and I love that you feel that, but I hope that you also want me.”
“I think I made it pretty obvious that I wanted you that night we had the opportunity to use the Fantasy Suite and I meant that,” he retorted.
“Yes, but on one hand, you said you didn’t know what you wanted, and on the other, that you needed me and that we had an ‘undeniably strong connection’.”
“I told you, so many parts of my personality are coming out with each bachelorette and it makes me doubt any feelings I have for any of them, but you were different, we live the same lifestyle and love the same things.”
“Well if you know me so well, perhaps it’s time you sort out your feelings, because...I love you, Reuben and the more we are together the more I want to be with you. I know you can’t discuss your choice with any of us, but seems you are still unsure. You’ve had several dates with all of us and you must be getting close by now.”

"I am sorry about everything that happened. I didn't realise what I said would upset you so much, I thought I was being upfront, sharing my feelings."
"I don't mind you being upfront at all, just not about things that probably should be kept private, between us."
"I so admire that you speak your mind so openly, Mel.”
“Trouble is, it can leave me vulnerable and I end up regretting something I've said or put my 'foot in my mouth', but I told you that from the very first time we met didn’t I? Perhaps it’s frustration on my part because I do like knowing where I stand with people and more importantly with you because I really want to be intimate with you, but I just can’t commit to that until I know you feel as sure about me, as I do about you. I’ve been hurt too many times, Reuben.”
“In a way, I hope there won’t be too many more dates either, because it confuses the hell out of me also.”
“I can imagine it would, but you are going to have to commit soon, Reuben and hopefully that decision is not too far away, it's emotionally draining and I'm sure the other girls would be feeling that also.”
Before we said any more, Reuben pulled me onto the dance floor. "Dance with me?" We started dancing close and intimately, and for the first time, I smiled that night and so did Reuben.
"Getting things off my chest really helped. I hope it helped you as well."
He leaned close to me and whispered, "Does this answer your question?" He pulled me close to kiss me.
"Everyone is watching," I said glancing around at the faces all watching us.
"You know what?" Reuben said. "I don't care."
He wrapped his arms tight around me and our kiss was intense.
The little "tif" made for some good TV. Can you tell us anything more about that?
"I am not interested in what the press twists to make a good story sell. More importantly, there are bachelorettes out there that are looking for love, and I doubt they would appreciate their private thoughts being put out there for all to see. What went on between Reuben and I is no one else's business, so no I won't be saying anything to the press. I know you have a job to do, but even a job has its limits."
Do you think the tension is coming from having to share the man you are gaining feelings for?
"It's a game that every bachelorette is playing in their own way. More tension comes from sensationalist opinions that the press is very good at presenting to attract an audience and the other thing is not knowing what is going to happen next in this show. All I am most sure about is my feelings for Reuben."
