Caitlin. As each walked to him to say goodbye, he explained to each why they were not chosen. He couldn't find the connection with Christa. Jasmine did not show interest in his needs.
He told Denise about her boyfriend. She denied the rumor and demanded to know the identity of the person who told him. Brian refused to reveal the source. She stormed out of the room.
The seven remaining toasted another day in the mansion.
The next day, Brian's friends Matt, Tony, and Aaron arrived. They were going to interview each of the ladies one at a time. They would decide who would receive the next one-on-one date.
After the interviews, his friends had decided that Julie would get the one-on-one date. Brian was also able to choose someone for a one-on-one date. It didn't take long to make that decision. He chose Caitlin.
The next day was Brian's date with Julie. It also happened to be his thirtieth birthday.
Their date took place at the Hollywood Bowl. A table was set on-stage and dinner was fixed for them.
After dinner, they were treated to a private concert. Halfway into the concert, Julie pulled him into a private room with a chair and locked the door.
She pulled out her iPod and set it to play. She sat him in the chair.
"Time for your birthday present."
Julie proceeded to perform a lap dance. It was clear she has had experience at this. She slowly unzipped her dress and took it off. She unfastened her bra. She straddled him and placed his hands on her bra straps. She made him lower them, exposing her breasts.
The cameraman had cracked the door and was filming up to this point. When her bra was removed, he backed away and closed the door.
She pressed up against him. She whispered in his ear, "Happy Birthday." She kissed him gently on the nape of the neck. A chill ran down Brian's back.
While their date was going on, the rest of the ladies decorated the house for a birthday party. Little did they know what was going on in that private room or for how long.
It wasn't until late that evening when Brian and Julie came home. By then, some of the women had gone to sleep.
The next day was Brian's date with Caitlin. They left for a day in San Francisco.
Among the sights they saw were Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz Island. They had lunch at Fisherman's Grotto, with a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
As the day went on, Brian could feel the connection between him and Caitlin growing stronger. That solidified when she sang to him, a song that she had written about him. She had wanted to give this to him as a birthday gift, but he returned from his date with Julie too late.
