Episode 9
Today's challenges will be a little different -- and yes, there will be multiple! We start with some apple bobbing, then we'll play football, then golf and we'll end with a breath holding contest! (Yes, even if there was an accident last episode.) For every win, the contestants will get points, which will then translate into how many interactions they will get. It will all make sense when we get there. And then, whenever that is done, we'll have a little party!

Chapter 9
“Hey, Liam, you don’t mind riding in the back with Amber, do you? I really want to sit up front,” Kate called from the car, giving me a wink.
Despite how terrible Kate is, at least she’s being supportive. She can still go after Jake (seeing as how Amber can’t and everything).
I bit my lip and looked out of the window, fighting the desire to grab him and kiss him until I couldn’t breathe. After the longest, most excruciating car journey ever, we arrived at the bowling alley. OK, that a slight exaggeration, it only took ten minutes, but the whole time I was fighting with myself to just jump on him and hold him tightly.
Girl, it’s been 10 minutes since you last kissed him. Get some help.
Sean had brought Avatar round and none of us had seen it before so all seven of us were now sitting around, eating McDonalds.
I would ask where the editor was, but who am I kidding. This story is so full of grammatical errors, typos, and run-ons like this.
“You’re funny.” [Mark] laughed, scooting closer to me.
“Thanks, and you’re too old for me,” I stated, smiling sweetly.
As terrible as this story is, it somehow passes the bar of “girl expressing to an older, creepy guy that he’s being creepy, and that he’s too old for her”.
Which is not exactly something that I ever thought would happen.
“No. I’m going to kiss you, and you’re going to love it.” [Mark] shrugged, smirking at me again.
Liam’s legs jerked behind me as he made a move to get up. I pushed back on his legs and started rubbing his foot again. “Really? If you kiss me I’m going to knee you in the balls.”
NGL, I love this. I wish more female leads would say stuff like this.
Mark laughed and crashed his lips to mine, roughly, gripping the sides of my face so I couldn’t move away. I tried to push him away but he wouldn’t budge. He nibbled my lip, asking for entrance, so I clamped my mouth shut and brought my knee up as hard as I could into his groin. He let go of me instantly, bending over, groaning.
I’m simply here to point out about how Amber didn’t have a PTSD panic attack when this guy sexually assaulted her.
CONSISTENT CHARACTER PERSONALITIES ARE FOR SQUARES!!
(Under any other circumstances, I’d be cheering her on. But this is the book that we were given, with the background of her being too afraid to be touched. So of course I’m going to get angry when she’s assaulted yet again, and she doesn’t have a consistent response.)
Just as I started to go under I thought I heard him whisper something that sounded like ‘I love you’, but Liam wouldn’t say that, so it must have been something else.
Chapter 9 summary: The four of them meet up with Sarah, her boyfriend Sean, and her brother, Mark, at the bowling alley. There, Mark will not stop hitting on Amber, and she doesn’t exactly know what to do, so she kind of flirts back with him. This drives Liam crazy, and Amber is like “What did you want me to do? I couldn’t exactly say ‘my boyfriend is over there!”
Later, they go back to Amber’s and Jake’s house to watch a movie. Mark is still hitting on Amber, but she expresses she thinks that he’s too old for her, and that “unless there’s the answers for my maths test in there, there’s nothing in your pants I’m interested in.” Mark is like “I’ll bet you $20 that you’ll love it when I kiss you!” She tells him, in no uncertain terms, that kissing her will result in her knee being introduced to his junk. He tries it anyway… and well. She was good on her word. (Again, it’s not so much that I hate this, but we were introduced to Amber the girl who was traumatised by her dad trying to rape her and now she’s afraid of touch. This is no longer that Amber, and it’s frustrating to read.)
Kate and Amber go upstairs, where Amber puts on sexy pyjamas. Kate encourages her to go downstairs to flaunt her pjs in front of Liam, which she does. Jake gets angry when Liam is “perving on my little sister”, which is fair enough. After Jake goes to bed, Amber goes down to Liam, where he touches her breasts until the author remembers that Amber is supposed to be TRAUMATISED, so Amber asks Liam to slam on the brakes. As they snuggle up to go to sleep, Amber swears Liam says “I love you”, but can’t be certain.
