You have already met Michael Bachelor but...

Starting tomorrow, you will meet his family, his sister, Bella, his mother, Jocasta and his father Simis.

MORTIMER- “You were really not in the game today, Bella.  Is everything okay?”

BELLA- “I’m fine. Morty, just a little distracted I suppose.”

MORTIMER- “Distracted? You want to talk about it?”

BELLA- Not right now. I need to get home. School starts Monday and I have a lot to do. Don’t you leave tomorrow?’

MORTIMER- “I do, but I don’t want to leave knowing something is wrong with you....”

BELLA- “Nothing is wrong with me Morty. Just go shower and head on home, I think I am going to walk.”

MORTIMER- “Please talk to me Bella.  Is this about my proposal?  It is isn’t it?”

BELLA- “Mortimer, please I said I don’t want to talk about it. Not right now.”

MORTIMER- “If not now, when, once I leave for Foxbury and you give me my answer over the phone...?”

BELLA- “Okay fine.  It is about your proposal, and it’s about you leaving for Foxbury and me starting there in January. It’s about my parents and my my mind saying one thing, and my heart saying another. I love you Morty... More than you could ever imagine....

MORTIMER- “Then say yes...”

BELLA- “IT’S NOT AS EASY AS THAT!!  Don’t you understand? I want to graduate High School.  I want to go away to college and enjoy my time there while I am learning and beginning my career. I don’t want to worry about how we are going to pay the bills, about getting pregnant, about being a wife!!”

After a few minutes, Bella realized that more than two was a crowd.

She and Clayton Made their way back up towards the lounge area and began a conversation.

But J was not going to give up that easy. He came up and began introducing himself.

BELLA- “J, can’t you see we were having a conversation. Go play in the water.”

JOCASTA- “We are going now, darling. But we want to make sure you are available tomorrow to take us to the beach. We know of nothing around here, so we are going to need you to be our guide.

MICHAEL- “As much as I can, I do have to work. I, unfortunately am not on vacation.”

Bella will be starting her first year at Britechester in the fall, and she has always been close to her brother. So, she had to let off a little steam about thier parents to Michael.

He assured her, anytime she needs him to just call.

A School friend of Michael’s (J. Huntington III ) shows up at the beach and sees Michael and Bella. She has certainly grown up, was what he immediately thought.

J- “Michael! Good to see you, I heard you were living here now. I am on vacation here all week. Hey Bella.”

BELLA- “Hey.”
