Total Drama Porn Story: The Challenges of Love Chapter 5

The Challenges of Love

5. Multi-Dating

FINALLY Chris and Harem time, kids. Hope you didnt wait too long No challenge this time round, only an elimination, a date, suggestive themes, fights, torturing, swearing you know, the usual stuff.

I dont own Total Drama Island/Action, the wonderfully wonderful ocs (minus Rachel). The same goes for any products or shows mentioned. Also, I do not own Under Pressure by David Bowie (the song Shelly sings).

The prize: a paid-for date with one of the most hottest and eligible bachelors in Hollywood, Chris Maclean. Where: a popular five-star restaurant for breakfast, but of course. Means of Transportation: a limo that could only belong to someone of the elite. Daters: Roxie, Charlie, Lea, Krissy, Rachel, and Lena. The Daters Attire: their pajamas

I hope he chokes on his eggs for not even letting me put makeup on or take a shower, Krissy grumbled. This is the worst date Ive ever been on!

You havent been on it yet, Lena told her. And he better not order eggs!

Charlie looked down at her own white night gown and resisted a soft sigh. Her feet and hands had been marked with dirt from the mission and she could only picture how disheveled her hair looked.

Charlie: I guess this is a good thing since this will help me determine whether Chris is big on looks in a relationship or not. Its very important to me that hell care more about my personality and me than my looks, because they dont make a relationship and they dont last forever.

Bee-Tee-Douba-Yew, Rachel, Krissy spoke up, her dark eyes brewing up storms of hate targeted at the energetic girl. Im getting my people to, like, take care of you for ditching us and getting to go pee and change you bitch.

Rachel had, in fact, changed and bathed and brushed her teeth. She gave up on tying to infiltrate the arena and took care of her morning business. By the time she got back, everyone on her team was being treated to a limo ride. Of course, itd only make sense if she tagged along to, right?… Even thoughno one else thought she should. Still, she was more helpful than Stormy had been to her team from what they heard before they left.

The limo came to a smooth halt and the door was promptly opened. An elder man waved his arm out and pointed to the front door of a lavish hotel. Mr. Chris Maclean is awaiting your company at his reserved table. Please allow me to escort you in

Katroina was blowing off steam the only way she knew how; once she had gotten her shower and got dressed, she resorted to watching lacrosse. If she couldnt beat people (coughstormycough) up until they could only twitch and bleed because shes too nice for that, than she was going to watch other people get the job done for her.

I prefer to watch violent cartoons. Katroinas eyes darted over to see Vikki collapse into the spot on the couch beside her. Seeing Okamoto whip his sword around is usually enough to satisfy my bad moods yknow, from Samurai Seven? No? Oh well, thisll work too I guess.

Death Note is helpful when Im in a bad mood. Katroina looked to her other side to see Serenity sit beside her. I was mad when L died, though.

Wo ist meinen Pulli? Kristina shouted to the girls in the living room.

Come again?

Oh, sorry – wheres my sweater?

Es tut mir leid. Ich weiss nicht! Ulli answered as she stomped to the pool area carrying a tanning lotion and complaining about how much she missed her tanning salons. Poor, poor orange girl.

And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night

Vikki looked over the sofa. I guess Shellys in the shower now… only shed sing a David Bowie song that loud

And love dares you to change our way of, caring about ourselves! This is our last dance, this is our last dance – this is ourselves – under pressure!

I have to teach her how to hit those high notes Vikki told Katroina, who just nodded curtly. By the time things settled down a bit, her game was on a commercial. Seriously whats a girl got to do to get see action around here?

This five-star restaurant was filled with the best of the best in belittling people. All the guests were guaranteed to give all the girls scans with their eyes half lidded and their lips twisted in abhorrence. They would undoubtedly take pleasure in not only judging the girls based off their fresh-from-bed-and-mission look, but in talking about it in rather loud voices.

Would the girls care is the question now.

Chris had hoped they would. His own eyelids were drawn down a bit and his own mouth was widened in an expecting smile well, smirk. If there was a way to make a girl squirm, it was to go for her looks. He firmly believed that all girls cared how they looked no ifs, ands, or buts about it, they did. Just like he cared how he looked. Based off of how great all these girls looked when he first met them, he was expecting it to be thanks to the makeup and their decent rest. If anything could make them look bad and feel bad to be here, it was to be here after last nights mission.

He saw Krissy first. Her eyes burst open and her face flushed in embarrassment at her appearance. She was probably a socialite, since she knew exactly what everyone else in the room thought of her based off of a glance at their faces. The confidence she had the first few days simmered with each quick step she took to the table. If she had gotten ready, she would probably own the room, but not now. Now, instead of sitting beside Chris like she was most likely planning, she let a chair separate them at the circle table.

You all right there, KK? Chris asked, biting his victorious laughter back. It was giving him chills to see this powerful girl in pieces. She honestly didnt look that bad. Sure. Her once wavy, silky hair looked like it was attacked by static and tight pink tank top clashed with her green underwear (which were a bikini cut, so she was lucky there). She wasnt even that hard to look at without make-up.

She didnt move and kept her head down. His smirk broadened. One down, five to go.

Rachel was the next to step in. She looked unbothered by everyone and likewise no one seemed bothered by her. After all, she was in typical Rachel wear a blue shirt and black pants. Not worth a word of gossip really. She took a seat at the table between Krissy and Chris and looked pleased. She looked over at Chris and froze.

Rachel: Oh my freaking God hes SO MUCH HOTTER THIS CLOSE! His chin sexy. His cheeks sexy. His shadow sexy. His hair sexy. His forehead sexy. Oh no, its usually around this time when the nerves strike

I got to, ah, use a, ah, restroom. Save my seat! And as quick as she came, she skyrocketed right into and out of the male restroom before zipping to her the ladies room.

Well, that required no effort at all. Two for two with three to go.

He looked up in time to see Lea walk in. She looked a bit spaced out and was staring at the air in front of her lazily. He wouldnt be too surprised if she forgot other people were there. Her hair looked untouched by grime and effort and shined from the roots of her dark-ash hair to her chin. So far, her outfit was his favorite: a lacy turquoise lingerie underneath a silk, white robe that brushed against her upper thighs as she walked. He cast a glance to see the looks other restaurant diners were looking at her, and they looked excited about more gossip but otherwise unbothered.

Good morning, Chris, Lea greeted as she took Rachels empty seat. Was Rachel sitting here?

Nope, he lied. She must read minds, because she got up and moved over to the other seat beside him.

How was your morning? Chris prodded. Feeling disgusted being without a shower or embarrassed being here in that yet?

She wasnt looking at him, but rather at some place across the room. Not any more so than I normally feel around people.

Chris: His head was tilted to the side and his shoulders went up and flopped down. Eh, Ill come back to her.

Two for three. Not too bad.

Roxie was the next girl to be let in. Some of the layers in her hair flipped in different directions, but other than that she was fine there. Her face was firm in an indifferent expression. She was not hard to look at in her exceptionally thin black shirt that did a poor job of covering her lacy pink bra and panties. Her toned legs and arms shined in the expensive lighting and she paused at the table.

She looked at Lea for an honest answer. Is Rachel sitting here? Lea curtly nodded, not tearing her gaze away from wherever it was she was staring. Roxie made a move to go beside her and Chris held a hand up. Whoa, there!

She stopped and turned to him. Hmm?

He stared at her eyes a bit longer than he wouldve liked, but quickly regained his track of thought. I would much rather have you beside me.

Roxie blinked. Leas eyes flicked over to her for a brief second. Krissy gurgled something no one really understood.

I appreciate being asked, but I couldnt do that.

Even though she ditched you guys on the challenge?

Ah, of course: hes hoping to start some drama. He has no interest in actually being close to her. For some reason, this really bothered her, but she knew enough to know not to show it. She walked over to Leas right and sat down. Its nothing she could help, right? By the way, whered she go? A word resembling bathroom came from somewhere under Krissys hair barrier.

Chris wasnt too happy now. His smirk was completely gone at this point. Two outta four not a good score in his book. He heard a seat being drawn beside him and snapped his head over to see brunette with a white shirt that read Save the Whales in bold letters and decent shorts for public eyes pulling Rachels chair out.

Rachels there, Lena, Roxie said.

Lena sighed but thanked her anyways before going to sit beside her. Hi, Chris! she said once she sat down.

Yeah hi He was miserable. He missed her walk in thus missed the possibly wonderfully scrutinizing glares she received! How did he go from a success like making that one chick depressed to such a failure as having this girl giving him a blinding, sun-shiny smile? It was absolutely horrific and flat-out inconceivable. He wondered for a brief second if it would be too much to ask the waiter to spike everything he consumed here with the strongest alcohol they had in the largest quantities they could.

He set his eyes on the door, putting all his hope to brighten his mood into the last girl, Charlie, to walk in. He hoped she looked horrible and was extremely emotional and she cried as soon as she walked in and complained about her miserable life. He wanted to see some suffering, dammit.

Well, someone suffered when she stepped in him. Dammit indeed.

Her long blond hair was draped over her left shoulder and her pink highlights seemed more prominent than ever against her slightly tanned skin. She wore a simple white nightgown that ran out of material halfway passed her knee. She came to the table with poise and a faint smile playing on her lips. She noticed the empty chair by Chris and assumed it was Rachels since no one else took it, so she was stuck sitting by Krissy.

Hi, she said.

Hey, he said. Chris was defeated. Three losses to two wins.

Chris: So I was hoping that if I ticked off all of them enough without seeming like I was trying too hard, theyd eliminate themselves. It was a far out-there idea, but whatever. Didnt work anyway. I guess I mine as well just try to work them over and have some fun and try to forget the fact theyre unaffected. Ill just redeem myself next challenge.

Tell me, ladies, how was the

I cant take this! Krissy flipped her head up and her hair flew behind her and splayed across her back. She wasnt crying and didnt look sad or embarrassed anymore. No, she looked ah, how to put it

Krissy: Im PISSED.

Take what? Chris taunted.

Im sitting here upset and you ignore me.

I asked you what was wrong.

I know but gawd, youre supposed to comfort me and make me feel better!

He laughed. I dont think so, sweetheart. You may have signed up to be my girlfriend, but I didnt sign up to be your boyfriend. If you want to be comforted, go call your mom or something.

Krissys eyes narrowed, and she crossed her arms and hmph!ed. Jerk!

He shrugged and a pretty red-head waitress came over. Hello, Mr. Maclean. May I present you with your menus?

Yes, you may! Chris said before he winked at her. Just give us a few minutes and when you come over we should even have our order ready!

She handed everyone a folder with a thick red blush on her cheeks before she sprinted over to another waitress and giggled about something.

Did you just wink at her? Charlie asked, in utter shock.

Why yes, yes I did. Chris smirk was back in place. Dont tell me that bothers you.

Charlie: Of course it does! He is at a table with five beautiful girls all here to meet him and make a connection with him and he winks at our waitress! That vulgar ugh.

Charlie kept eye contact with him, though it was strained. Listen Chris, a relationship is based on The Three Cs: Communication, Commitment, and Compatibility. Were she gestured to herself and the girls, – are here to see if we can successfully communicate with you and if were compatible by doing so. Commitment may be an understandable problem since were competing for you but leading girls on outside of the house is uncalled for.

She said this calmly, as if she was assessing her own life just as she would the life of someone who wrote in to her with their problems. Still, she felt a sting when she realized this was a bit more personal. What made it worse? He didnt look like he really cared either way.

Hmm, that so? Sounds technical, like a system. I prefer disorder chaos, if you will, over rules and guidelines like that.

They arent rules and guidelines. Theyre just strategies and starting and maintaining a good relationship.

Strategies, huh? She nodded proudly. Suuuure they are.

Whats wrong with her strategies? Lea wondered aloud. They dont seem that bad to me.

Think about it: you go into a relationship with these strategies in the back of your mind, youre bound to spend more time trying to get them to work then enjoying that person, right?

What do you know? Krissy bit, surprising everyone since she was sticking up for someone who wasnt her. Ive heard the longest relationship youve been in was two days.

It was six days, Chris corrected as he opened his menu. And it ended about two weeks before this started.

He looked bitter, so no one said anything else for a while. The waitress came over and got their orders and Chris decided theyd need more time to look at food items and opted to get Rachel, who was still missing, orange juice. He didnt even try to wink or flirt, much to the excited workers dismay. She walked away pouting.

Chris, Lena said with soft eyes. Do you want to talk about it?

Chris considered her request, but smiled and shook his head. Nah, course not! He gave the empty seat beside him a disappointed look and made eye contact with Roxie. I would feel better if youd sit by me I have a feeling she wont be back for a while.

Lena: I just asked him how he feels and he asks her to sit by him? Did I miss something?

Charlie: Its okay Im seeing who he really is or am I? I mean, he looked upset when his ex came up, so maybe theres more to him than he wants to let on.

Roxie eyed the seat and slowly stood and went over to the seat. She sat down carefully, keeping her sapphire stare on Chris. The moment she gets back, Im moving.

Fine by me. He agreed, darting his eyes at her tone legs briefly before bringing back to his menu. Roxie caught this and smiled to herself, but kept her attention on the menu.

The sun was baking the Maclean Mansion at ninety degrees Fahrenheit and providing everyone outside a warm and sunny setting. Some girls were splashing around in or around the massive marble pool and Ulli was trying desperately to get orange err, tan.

Stormy didnt like hot weather or bright, blinding sunlight. Thus she was coped up in Green House beside Lena, Katroina, and Rachels room. She had enough light to right in the treasured book on her lap with her lucky pen in hand and her iPod blaring.

Hey. Stormy looked up to see Shelly standing over her. You look lonely do you want to come hang out with Tawni and me?

No. Stormy went back to her book.

Why? Dont you ever get sick of writing? You do it all the time. Take a break you might get inspired or something.

Why are you bothering me? Didnt I ruin your friends chance at a date with Chris?

You ruined your chance at a date with Chris, too.

Stormy smiled despite herself, but didnt answer and went back to writing. Shelly shrugged and went over back outside to the pool, where Tawni was. Well? she asked. What did psycho-writer say?

No. She just wanted to write.

Figures. Shes a weird one.

You dont even know the half of it! Jade said from the pool. She wanted to use a glow stick as light! How weird is that? Especially when we have a challenge!

Tawni arched a brow up. I thought you didnt like Chris?

I dont. Jade admitted unabashed. It still pissed me off though.

Rachel was still gone by the time the waitress returned for their orders, and she wanted the missing girls order first. Dont look at me! Chris said when she eyed him up whether for more attention or because she really cared about Rachels order no one knew. They know her better than I do.

Shell have a bowl of fruit, which is also what Ill have! Lena said brightly, handing her menu over. Chris gave her an appreciative nod. Right on, girlie.

Ill take those strawberry pancakes. Lea decided, doing the same.

Salad. Krissy said.

But miss, we serve salad for lunch and we dont serve lunch until

Shut up and get me a salad.

Bu-

Dont cross me Im not in the mood. At all.

Shes always like that, Charlie assured the waitress. Ill have the special omelet that everyone at the other table behind us seems to like so much.

Same, Roxie said, handing her menu over.

Hmm, Ill settle for the Breakfast Special

Wait, Chris, that has meat in it, Lena pointed out. Large quantities of meat.

He tilted his head. This is a bad thing because?

Hell have the bowl of fruit, too! Lena decided for him, yanking the menu from his unsuspecting fingers and giving it to the waitress.

HEY! You cant do that! I didnt want the fruit cup!

I know! Thats why I got you the fruit bowl. Lena gave the waitress a smile. Were good to go, then!

B-but wha- Chris was losing his words as the waitress sprinted off. Did he just let a chick order for him? And he didnt get what he wanted? What the hell just happened?

Its okay, youll like it, Lena promised. Now, tell us a bit about yourself.

Huh? About me? Like what do you wanna know?

Everything! she giggled.

No, dont. Krissy leaned forward. I dont like to talk on dates.

Is that so? she nodded. Well then, humor me. What is it you do on dates?

She licked her lip. I can show you.

Charlie: Its not a good idea to go into a relationship being physical. Even more so since this is the first time they got to sit down and talk and she just hated him what two seconds ago?

Roxie: I dont know if sitting by him was in my best interest anymore…

Lena: I never really thought about Chris kissing other girls, but I guess its inevitable now. I dont want to see it, though. Im afraid Ill be too upset to enjoy the rest of my date. But who am I kidding Im sure hes not going to refuse or anything

Lea: I wonder what Rachels up to.

Chris expression didnt change. Not interested.

Shock. Pure shock. Did he just turn down Krissy for a possible make-out session? Was he a guy with morals after all?

Maybe after you put makeup on.

Nope, no morals.

Krissy, at a loss for a decent combat on account of she didnt think shed need one, crossed her arms and glared at him.

Charlie was disappointed. Was this the guy she was so excited to meet? Really? How could she find his sadism cute and charming when now she felt miserable because of it? She felt like she was expecting too much and making excuses for him. She had to talk to him one on one to see it for herself thats her only option. If he didnt make an impression, shed have to call it quits no use trying to make something work that has no hope from the start.

So let me go around and ask some very important questions, alright? The girls nodded. Great. He turned all his attention to Roxie. How long have you modeled?

She shook her head. Never modeled.

Oh?

Really. Im a dance instructor by day, bartender by night.

Ah, alright, alright guess that explains the legs then.

Theres more to me than my legs, she said in a matter-of-fact tone.

He feigned surprise and leaned back. Whoa really? Well, in any case, I took some bartending classes in college, so Im thinking Im going to have to test your skills one of these days. He moved over to look at Krissy. KK, what is it you do?

I help plan parties lik-

Fascinating. Moving on. Krissy muttered through obscenities and grinded her teeth together. Charlie. Dear, darling, sexy, Charlie. She frowned at him. Did you know you have a boys name?

Its not a boys name.

Chris rolled his eyes. Well its popular among the male gender.

True, but I like it. She didnt look like she wanted to talk to him very much. The realization made his head pound, but he smirked to himself and decided hed change that later. Lena, youre a vegetarian.

No, Im a vegan.

Big difference.

There is! Vegetarians consume dairy products and some eat seafood. By being vegan I dont eat any products that come from animals.

So does that mean you do that mess with peoples orders all the time?

Not all the time, but with you I plan on it. She confirmed.

Flippin amazing. I cant wait, he muttered.

Lena: Hell love the environment by the end of this. And me, but thats a given.

Now, you. Chris locked eyes with Lea, who finally decided to look at him. Youve been quiet.

Im always quiet, Chris.

Yeah, I know, but still its weird. I know more about Rachel than you.

She didnt say anything for a moment. Then she made a comment. Youre good with peoples names.

He blinked. Uh, yeah, I guess so.

I find that appealing. She went back to looking at whatever it was she was looking at before. Usually people have trouble with names, but you dont. Not only are you good with names, but youre good at matching names with faces and personalities. Do you like to memorize things?

Over-analyzing much? Krissy said.

No, its a good point, Charlie said, defending Lea.

They all looked at Chris. Its not like I memorize random crap for fun, I just do.

What were your grades in school like anyway? Lena wondered. You mustve been a genius.

Im not going to answer that, he huffed. This is a date. Who talks about grades and school which I spent the better part of my life trying to get the hell out of on dates?

Umm me? Lena said, pointing to herself.

Chris gave her a stony glare, which she smiled at. Youre all problematic, you know that? I really hope the other girls are normal. This comment got everyone laughing. He obviously didnt sit and watch them in the control room like they thought, because he obviously didnt even know the half of it

Amazing! This is better than what I pay for usually.

Al was examining her hair in the large mirror. Her hair, which was black underneath and had pink on top, was redone. Her roots started to show where her hair was pink by Maddie, who turned out to be a hair stylist and to have loads of her equipment with her (ranging from styling tools to every dye color under the sun).

That is pretty! Lauren agreed, touching Als loft hair.

Yeah Im pretty awesome. Her stomach gurgled. Ah, Im so hungry! Stupid Chef. Why didnt he make us breakfast again?

While he was putting stuff away he found Stormy writing in one of the cabinets. Al answered.

Maddie looked at her stomach and gave it a soft pat. Well, whens lunch?

Dunno

LUNCH!

The girls smiled at each other and sprinted down to the kitchen. They were a little perturbed by the fact they needed trays and had to wait for him to give them what he wanted (it was like high school all over again) but where hungry enough to get over it. Lauren was first in line and hopeful the meals would be better here than on TDI or TDA.

A large pile of what looked like soggy cookies slapped the plate on her tray. She eyed it cautiously. Looks great, she commented sarcastically. What is it?

Its pancakes! You got a problem with it? Chef leered at her with one eye widening and his grip on the spatula tightening.

No course not looks great Lauren grumbled. She took it to a table and poked it. The lump of pancakes on china looked very out of place in the lavishly decorated kitchen.

Lauren: I wish I could cook. Back home Im a waitress and know a few tricks to cooking. Though my expertise is deep dish pizza, I know for a fact whatever I cook looks like well, it looks edible.

Al sat down beside her, staring apprehensively at her meal. I dont feel hungry anymore

I do! Maddie slammed her tray down and struggled to cut a piece off. She stabbed her fork into it and carefully brought a bit of it to her mouth and took a bite.

Well? Al asked. Is it any good? Maddie shook her head but she kept eating so her stomach would have something in it.

Al: What was Chris thinking letting him cook for us? Has he tried Chefs food or what?

As it turns out, a fruit bowl was just that: a fruit bowl. Nothing weird or special and no bacon or eggs or ham. Just fruit in a bowl. It wasnt very filling, but Lena didnt think hers was either. And since it was either the fruit or toast with jelly, Chris opted to get several more of the fruit bowls.

Im never taking you out to eat again, he grumbled.

But youre ordering more, so you must like it! Just as promised. He didnt say anything, but Lena knew she was right.

Chris checked his watch. Hmm, we only have like fifteen minutes left that wasnt very long. Eh, I guess you at least dont have to eat Chefs cooking.

Wait, Chris! Why cant you hang out with everyone when we get back? Lena asked.

He rolled his eyes and took another bit of fruit on his fork. Elimination is tonight and I dont feel like being whined to about who I should and shouldnt send home for what reasons. Besides, its not like Id get to hang out with you five again.

So, any ideas on whos getting eliminated? Roxie asked, changing the subject.

Chris laughed. I might maybe itll be Lea over here.

You wont. She said simply, enjoying her pancakes with a smile.

Chris rolled his eyes but smiled anyways. If thats what you think.

Krissy: Its not fair. He seems to already, like, have a connection with Lea for who knows what reason and he likes Roxie cause he thinks her man legs are attractive and Charlies playing hard to get or whatever it is shes doing and Lena picked out good food for him does she ever stop eating, by the way? Shes gone through, like, six bowls and hes paying more attention to Rachel who ISNT EVEN HERE than to me. Like, really what the hell?

Lea, I think you should go home. Krissy looked over at Chris and jabbed a finger at the silent girl. CC, she has stalker written all over her.

Chris looked down at Lea, who had laid her fork and knife on her plate and laid her napkin beside her plate. She left a small portion on her plate but all traces of strawberries were gone.

Chris: Guess she likes strawberries and if anything, she seems to be the opposite of a stalker. Im thinking itll take her a while to warm up to me if anything.

Chris, well be taking each girl back to the car in the reverse order they came out. A waiter said in a high pitched voice. First is a Miss Kristen.

Think about it, CC. She got up and paused. And Ill put makeup on for you. She licked her lip and walked away. Chris shuddered. Good luck with that he said, then looked at the remaining girls. And then there were four

Five! Rachel took Krissys seat, totally forgetting that Roxies seat was hers originally, eyes on the table and taking deep breaths. Im sorry I was just in the bathroom and all sick cuz of these nerves I have and I was all Ugh and stuff but Im better and ready to

Miss Rachel? the waiter said politely. Im ready to escort you to your car.

Wha? Rachel looked at the waiter with her jaw hanging. B-but I didnt eat yet! Or order! Or talk to Chris!

Well, she ordered for you, but I think I ate it. Chris shrugged. Tough luck. Or in this case, tough nerves.

Rachel was dragged (literally) away from the table, the waiter grumbling that she should grow up as she fought to rush over to Chris. No this cant be! CHRIS, BABY, THE NERVES HAVE SUBSIDED I SWEAR!

Chris coughed. That was awkward. The girls nodded together there was no saving Rachel or her nerves now.

I suppose Ill be next to go. Lea said softly, pushing her chair out. Chris grabbed her hand as she started to get up. Hey, you have barely talked to me yet!

Neither did Rachel. He blinked. But if itll make you feel better, I suppose Ill talk to you after elimination.

What if I eliminate you? he asked in a mock serious tone.

I already told you you wont. Good bye, Chris. Ill see you in the car Roxie, Lena, Charlie. They waved (well, Chris kind of just stared) as Lea got up and excused herself before the waiter walked in too far to get her.

I like Lea. Shes really confident. And she can be quiet or say anything she wants and still be cool!

Youre confident for saying that, too. Charlie smiled. Good for you!

Roxie uncrossed her legs and looked at the door. I guess Im next to take my leave.

Chris frowned. Bummer. But hey, do you think that if I ever come roaming around you can have a drink ready? Im genuinely interested in your skills. And who knows maybe you might have a few drinks yourself and I can see some of those dance moves.

Roxie stood up and her lips tilted up at the corners. Like what did you have in mind?

Surprise me. She nodded and waved to everyone as the waiter came flying over to escort her out.

Lena put her napkin up. Whew, that was great! Nice pick for going out, Chris, she praised.

Actually, I didnt pick it. But it worked alright I guess.

She took the empty seat that was Leas and gave him a warm smile, something he wasnt use to. Really, thanks. I was glad to get to know you. After this date, I learned theres more to you to get to know and I hope I get to know it all! She leaned up and brushed her lips against his cheek before she pulled away and stood up.

Miss Lena?

Thats me! Lena walked away proudly. Oh, and thanks for not eating meat! she said over her shoulder. Charlie sighed.

Hey, how come you arent trying to make moves like that? Chris joked.

I dont want to. She gave him an icy stare. You only let Lena kiss you because you think shes pretty, just like you refused to let Krissy kiss you because she wasnt.

Says who? She stood up and he came from his seat and moved in front of her. Hey, okay, maybe that had a bit to do with it, but not totally!

Listen, Chris, I think Lenas right. I think theres more to you. But unlike Lena, I dont think youre going to show it.

Is that so? he leaned in with his eyes narrowed at her, studying her face. What makes you think that? He brushed a hand through her hair. Maybe

Miss Charlie?

Bye. Charlie swung out of his reach and walked to the car. Chris grudgingly paid the bill, angry he missed a chance to possibly woe the seemingly un-woe-able. Charlie, however, was feeling better about being there. Maybe maybe there was more to him. Just maybe.

Mandy studied herself in the mirror. She was the picture of perfection: blonde hair with a pink hair band poking through, baby blues against tan skin shaded with thick mascara, violent red lips and cheeks accented in red. She smoother her blue tube top out and brown shorts out and clicked her blue pumps together. From this angle, she seriously thought she was the best looking person in this place. She wouldnt need to talk to Chris to stay put. Hell, she wouldnt need to talk period.

Now to start some drama

She walked out of the room over to the largest living room in the house. She smiled as she saw Sapphire nodding to something Nina was telling her and Dawn and Bell talking about something on a cough adjacent to them.

I wonder how the dates going, she commented innocently, taking a seat by Nina. Shed be the easiest to manipulate.

Probably great Nina pouted. Sapphire and Dawn nodded wordlessly. Bell shrugged. So? Well have more chances.

Yeah, but you guys couldve had more of a shot at winning if it wasnt for Stormy, right? Mandy asked Bell and Nina. Doesnt that mean she isnt here for Chris? Shouldnt he know that?

Im not here for him really, eiter, Bell said. Does that mean youre going to tell Chris on me?

Sapphire: Ohh drama is brewing I hope it leads to a fight we need one of those I think.

Dawn: Well, I dont trust Mandy. Its rather obvious whats up to, I think. Youd have to be an idiot to not see it.

Nina: CHRIS NEEDS TO KNOW THAT STORMY ISNT HERE FOR HIM! Youd have to be an idiot to not see it!

Alright, Chris, just stand over here no, over here. Perfect.

Yo, why exactly am I staring at a wall of the girls pictures?

Cuz we need to tape the process of you thinking about who you want to eliminate! a camera man said. Now action!

Chris blinked and walked out of the room. The camera crew fell over. Hey, Chris where you goin?

To eliminate! You might want to catch thiiiiiiiiiiiis.

Hes a quick thinker, one of the crew members said. The others nodded miserably as they gathered their supplies up to move it to the garden.

Ah, first elimination. It was late at night and the girls had all been wasting the hours away as this moment approached. They all stood on two risers set up just for the occasion. It was almost as if it were the first night all over again. Only this time was worse. This time they wouldnt be meeting the sexy man of their dreams, theyd be sent packing by him.

Chris walked out and stepped beside a table that had twenty-two chocolates set up on a plate. He looked up at the girls and smiled, with his teeth shining in the dim light. Welcome to the first elimination, ladies. As I said, the deal here is that I give you a chocolate. You get one, good for you, but we dont want to hear about it. Just take it and go stand on the risers behind me, got it?

They nodded

Awwwwwwwesome. Now, in the incident that you do not receive one, get your stuff and go to the Helipad of Shame where you will board the Helicopter of Losers. And you will never return ever.

Jade: I saw TDI, buddy. Two names: Izzy and Eva.

Chris drew himself up and got ready to be entertained. He always did enjoy the Elimination Ceremonies. The anxious air and nervous mannerisms were fun to watch. Its a shame hed have to ruin it. First name up is Roxie.

Roxie walked forward in a flaming red dress and smiled at Chris. Now, Im supposed to say something corny here like, Would you accept this chocolate but I dont really want to. Just make sure you hold good on your word.

You got it, she assured as she held her hand out. Chris smirked and brought her palm to his lips before dropping the candy in it. She smiled wide and got stars in her eyes as she went to her spot on the risers.

Roxie: Stares at hand with smile in place. I got my chocolate first and got a kiss even if it was the palm. Im not worried. Oh, and I have a guaranteed private date with him. Hes a charmer, but I need to watch out that he wont just use me and ditch me. But something tells me theres more to him. Ill keep my eyes open. And if this isnt enough: he seems to like my legs.

Lena.

The girl skipped up and took the chocolate. Is there dairy products in here? He nodded and she sighed. Work on that, hmm?

Ill just put of bowl of fruit out, he said sarcastically.

Her eyes lit up and she hugged him. Awe you do care! She went over by Roxie.

Lena: He seems to be warming up to me. Im so lucky to have this opportunity. And we even have something special fruit bowls! Its kind of lame, but its a start.

Charlie. She came forward and he handed it to her.

Thanks, she said.

Dont mention it. She didnt notice and stepped off and onto the risers by Lena.

Charlie: Ill give him a chance to open up. I think he can.

Maddie. Maddie jumped up to get her chocolate with a smile. Sweet! Thanks, Chris!

Maddie: I was picked fourth, but its all good. Thats top five.

Al. Al came up to get her chocolate and reached forward. She stopped when Chris reached out for one of her earbuds and put it by his ear. He smiled. Dude, I like this song. Nice music taste.

Thanks. She laughed and went over by Maddie.

Al: The song was Whoa Oh! Me Vs. Everyone by Forever the Sickest Kids. It is also the name of my new favorite song. She winks at the camera.

Chris took the next chocolate in his hand and sighed. Do I even have to say anything?

The girls looked at each other in confusion but Lea stepped forward and held her hand out politely. I told you, she said as he put it in her hand.

I tried to psych you out not even a bit?

No. Oh, and thank you. She offered him a rare smile and he smiled back, noticing her eyes for the first time. They had hazel flecks in them. When she left him he called out the next name, Lauren, get up here and take this, will ya? She smiled and took it, thanking him as she went to the risers. Tawni?

Tawni came forward and Chris noticed something was different about her Youre not dressed up. He pointed out the obvious.

I dont do formal, was her simple answer. Does this mean I dont get the candy?

Nah, I think Ill keep you around a while longer. He gave her the chocolate and she walked to the risers. Katroina. She came up and thanked him, taking her chocolate and going over. Jade? She came up and took it looking proud of herself.

Jade: I know hell get rid of me sooner or later, considering I dont like him. At all. But whatever, more time to hang out for me.

Dawn? Dawn came forward and thanked him. Sapphire? Same deal, only she didnt even look up.

Sapphire: I hope trips on this step Oh, and Im glad Chris picked me too, of course!

Serenity. She came up with a smile.

Thanks.

Sure thing.

She took it and went over to join the other contestants. Stormy. She, surprisingly, put her pen in the book and shut it. She came over and took the chocolate, Giving Chris a flick with her eyes before walking away. Vikki. She grabbed the chocolate and ate it right there before going over to the risers.

Vikki: This is the best chocolate Ive ever had! Looks like Ill be relying on this to survive here since I still feel sick from dinner whoever told Chef to become a cook was so not cool.

Shelly. She gratefully took it. KK. Krissy came over with a twisted smile on her face. Yeah dont get any closer. Just here. Go on now. She pouted as she went over to the risers.

Krissy: Ill MAKE him want to kiss me! And it wont end there! I dont see what his problem is

Mandy. The blond took her candy. Bell. She thanked him and sped off excitedly. Kristina. She thanked him another language and he just nodded. Right now, down to the wire: three girls, two chocolates. Wholl it be?

Ulli: He better pick me. I want the money!… Err, his heart

Nina: Her body trembles. Final three?… WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Rachel: He looks sexy, even if hes in the same outfit from this morning she proceeds to drool.

Ulli. The short, woman came up but Chris froze. Hey, you look really young are you legally allowed to be here? She nodded and rolled her eyes. Kay then, whatever. And the last name is Nina.

Nina was a sobbing mess and she reached forward to cling onto Chris, who aptly side-stepped and watched as she fell off and into a bed of flowers. Oh, that cant feel good here, take this. He dropped the chocolate on her and looked over at Rachel, whose jaw was hanging open and eyes wide.

Chris, why?

I felt like it. He shrugged and looked over at the camera as security came from nowhere and grabbed Rachel, trying to drag her as she fought to stay. Now weve got twenty-two lovely girls left. Who will win this thing? Find out on the next episode of The Challenges of Love!

Oh yeah, Tawni said, rolling her eyes. He is such a host.

I guess it was more brunch than breakfast. Ah, well. Yes, Rachel was the first to go which means all the ocs are now gasp FREE GAME! Who will go home next? Will it be the beautiful Bianca? The evil and conniving Taylor? The free-spirited Amelia? Ill tell you one thing: it cant be any of these girls, because I dont know who they are! I really am sleep deprived
