Brielle and Rueben - Photoshoot
"Wow Rueben, you look very nice for a fireman. If you ever happen to become one in the future, I'd happily let my house burn down just to see you put it out. HA!"
We both laughed at the comment I made, and then started to take some photos,
The main photo taken today was of him scooping me up in his arms. I was definitely not expecting that at all.

After, some photos were taken, I decided to lighten up the mood a little and have some fun. I leaped at him from behind and caught him off-guard.

It was great in the moment, however, I was completely unaware that he was holding a sledgehammer in his hand. I must have knocked it out of his hand, because I had an incredibly painful feeling in my foot.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Brielle, are you okay?" He said frantically.
I winced at the pain "Rueben, this is definitely not your fault. And I'll be okay, please don't stress too much about it"
"Here, let me at least help you up off the ground" He said sympathetically.

He looked so upset for me, I kinda felt bad for this happening. He helped me walk to a first-aid bay at the back of the studio, and helped me up onto a bed. He kissed my forehead.
"This is all my fault I truly am so sorry for this, I really am." Rueben apologised.
"Please, I didn't see that you were holding the hammer, I should have been more careful and I should have waited until the photoshoot was over to have any fun, hehe." I explained.
He gave me a weak smile and held on to me to comfort me.

After I received first aid, the doctor said it was sprained and I should probably keep it up and rested for awhile. Rueben still looked upset with himself as if he refused to believe that this wasn't his fault.
"Hey, to make up for this whole thing, I'd like to take you somewhere special to make you feel better. And I felt a little robbed of our time today. Would you meet me at the beach tonight?" He asked
"Of course I will." I smiled.
"Oh, and one more thing, you might want to bring a swimsuit..." He grinned.
-----------------------------------------------
It was 10:30pm and I had arrived at the beach to find a beautiful tent set up with seating and candles. However, the best part about this setup was that there was an incredibly attractive man sitting there waiting for me. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Hello my lady, how's your ankle feeling?"
"It's much better now that I've rested it for awhile" I replied.
"Would you like something to drink? I've got..... Oh, it looks like the only thing that was put in the cooler was beer. I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all" I said accepting the drink.

We talked for awhile, having our laughs with each other.
"I understand that this process of finding love is not the easiest and can be a little difficult at times. But I just wanted to ask, how do you think this relationship of ours is going at the moment?" He asked.
"I would have to say that I feel a lot of chemistry between us. We have some similar interests too and we have our laughs which, in a relationship I think is important to have a good time and enjoy the small things. And to be honest, I think we share that on a deep level." I replied.
I liked to think he was pleased with what I said, and I knew deep down that I really felt a connection growing between Rueben and I.
"Would you like to go out into the ocean with me?" He asked.
"I really would".

We both got into a swim-wear and started strolling out into the deeper water.
"Wow, I didn't realise you were this tatted up. Almost half of your body is covered." He said, admiring my upper body tattoos.
"Oh, you noticed. I've also got one on my upper back." He looked at the treble clef in between my shoulder blades.
He slowly wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I decided to wrap mine around the small of his back.

After a short distance of walking, we had stopped. It was beautiful right where we were, the stars were twinkling brightly and the water was so clear.
"I brought you here to spend a little more time with you, away from any cameras and other people. I felt like we needed this, especially after what happened today." He said.
"Rueben, I told you that you didn't have to feel bad about what happened, it was not your fault."
"I had a plan today. At the end of the photo shoot, I was actually going to kiss you. But I felt that I've ruined it now." He said looking a little disappointed.
"You have definitely not ruined anything today, sure we had a bit of a bump in the road but nothing is ruined at all. And I have to admit, I've been longing to kiss you since our last date." I blushed.
"Well in that case, could I kiss you?"
I smiled at him affectionately and whispered "of course you can..."
He stroked my cheek and our lips connected. It was slow and sweet, and in this moment, I wished that this would never end...

PRODUCER QUESTION 1: Did seeing the others in their photoshoots today hit home about the process? Was it hard to watch other ladies date your bachelor at the same time?
"Of course it did! I find it a little difficult to think that he spends time with all of these other ladies and I feel a connection with him, but I imagine all of the others feel one too. And yes, it is hard to see all of these connections building with Rueben when I know that I've got one too. To be honest, the process kind of lets others see my jealous side, and it makes me feel a little insecure about what I've got with him because I'm questioning whether my connection with him is strong enough..."
PRODUCER QUESTION 2: How did that tabloid picture come about? Why do you think that story came to surface the way it did?
"Okay so the quote on the main picture is completely fake as I did not say that, I believe everyone should be comfortable in their own bodies, whether you are thick or thin. It's not really like me to openly insult anyone... With the over-eating, I feel that the media has their unrealistic standards of a woman's body and how they think it should be. They get very negative towards people who are more curvy or are a little overweight, and to me that is quite offensive as these people are setting standards that are not meant to be followed, as everyone should be able to feel comfortable about who they are and what they look like. It shouldn't matter, but the press and the media make it seem like such a bad thing, which is really unfair..."
