We somehow skated through the next three weeks of challenges and cuts.

The comments for us on the show’s page were all over the place, but they helped us realize the viewers were hooked on our romance. After a discussion with Emory in which we both decided it wasn’t a hardship and it was worth it to earn the points, we definitely kept up the PDA and nighttime cuddling.

In fact, holding Emory in bed and waking up with him wrapped in my arms had quickly become one of my very favorite things in the world—so, maybe it wasn’t all for show on my part any more, but I didn’t mind having an excuse to feel him against me.

Yeah, I was so screwed when this game ended. I knew it was for the best—no one should get stuck with someone who is incapable of a healthy, loving relationship—but it was gonna hit me hard. At least I knew the pain was coming and could slightly prepare for it.

I wasn’t sure what to do with the feelings I had for Emory—for two reasons. One, I’d never had these type of feelings for anyone. Two, never in a million years would I have thought I’d go for a guy. On one hand, it was throwing me for a loop. On another hand, it didn’t seem to matter—Emory was just Emory.

And on the other other hand, it didn’t matter because I didn’t do relationships and Emory had only agreed to play the game—nothing more.

We never took the PDA past kissing and cuddling—and when the question came up in the interview room, we said we wanted to keep that portion of our relationship private. It was a risk—especially since we had zero access to anything the other teams were doing and no idea what the audience was saying about those teams—but going full-on display for the cameras wasn’t something either of us were comfortable with.

In all honesty, I was about ready to bash the cameras—throw a sheet over them or something—and take things to the next level with Emory. But he seemed content to keep things the way they were, so I followed his lead. Although, he’d said enough in the past for me to know he had no idea I could possibly find him attractive—and to be fair, he’d known me as straight his whole life so it was a reasonable assumption—so I didn’t even know if Emory would even consider the possibility of taking things to the next level. If he ever thought about it, I had a pretty good idea that he’d never pursue it with me.

God, I could just picture the blush on that gorgeous face if he ever had to ask me for something outside of our fake relationship.

And that was what I had to keep remembering.

This.

Was.

Fake.

Another thing we learned was the audience was a bit evil. They seemed to not only get off on the potential of Ivy & Bell getting off together, but also on making me suffer through all the holiday magic shit.
