As James lay on the couch, sipping occasionally from his bottle, he couldn't help but notice the scene unraveling before him. The newest contestant who arrived was a man, who was about in his mid twenties. His introduction was quite comical to say the least, it seems that he and the woman James first met, who's name is apparently Louella Hamilton, know each other somehow. Because of the way Ian was looking at Louella James couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Well isn't this interesting... What are the chances of two contestants knowing each other? Seriously what are the odds?" James couldn't help himself, a grin appeared on his face thinking about all of the possible relationships these two could have. Judging by the reaction of them both it wouldn't be to far out to say that their relationship, whatever it was, didn't end on good terms. Not really one to sit through the drama which was about to unfold James started to leave the room. "I think I should give you two some privacy. Considering the situation I rather not..." But before he could finish that sentence, who else would stop James dead in his tracks. "...Chachi?"
Claudia Gonzales-Torres, why did she have to come walking back into my life, he thought. Uncomfortable enough with the other two's situation James didn't want to have his own at the same time. Not wanting to start anything James quietly stared back at Claudia, trying to find the words to say to her. She must have a lot of questions still, we haven't scene each other for about a year and I still haven't given her a reason as to why I broke up with her. I couldn't tell her then and I can not tell her now. After a few moments of thought James addressed her saying, "What am I doing here? I am a contestant who won a getaway to Manhattan New York and I thought it would be good to just "get away" from that "life" for a while... So if you don't mind..." Turning his back to all of the ones in the room James took a final swig from his bottle, tossing the remains into a nearby trashcan. James walked away towards an elevator. "...I'm going to try to enjoy my stay here..." Entering the elevator as the door open. "Nice meeting you Ian and Louella, have a pleasant conversation... And good to see you again Chachi, congratulations on your last failing relationship, what was his name again... Andrew Jensen or something?" The elevators doors than shut, going up to the roof.
Heights seemed to calm James down, and that was something he really needed at this moment. He wasn't ready to see Claudia again, he doesn't know if he will ever be ready to see her again. But because of this they will be forced to be with each other for the time being. Not something James wanted. Looking out he saw the city landscape and the hustle and bustle of the street below. If I knew I had to deal with this I would've chosen to do that Europe tour... but it seems Lady Luck isn't on my side this time. Wanting nothing more than to disappear James leaned his back against the railing on the rooftop. "Yep... this will definitely be interesting..."
