shoni island life

chapter 1 - 🦈

shelby POV

I'm so relieved. I was beginning to worry Toni didn't even like me and her avoiding speaking about our hookup or at least making small talk with me was a result of her just wanting to sleep with anyone up for it because let's face it the hormones are raging in this place I mean there are maybe around six sexually active girls who have been physically deprived of any kind of intercourse so I suppose desperation is quite the understatement.

Thankfully, that was just me going full-blown psycho Texan. We are stuck on an island and the only thing I want (out of all the things in the world right now) is to keep kissing this girl. She seems to enjoy it and has literally just told me she cares about what we have too. This feels so surreal, I have been searching for this feeling my entire life. Toni is such a wave of fire. I know that makes zero sense but neither does she or anything else for that matter. She's; confident, daring, she's like a little ball of adrenaline but when she kisses me it's like she melts. She's so gentle and warm. She always follows my lead to make sure I'm comfortable - I put my hand on hair waist, she does the same.

toni POV

It's honestly insane how hard I'm punching right now. I mean, when I first laid eyes on her I thought ok she's pretty hot but the moment she opened her mouth I was like this is just such fucking conservative energy - hate it. Fast-forward, I'm making out with her on the edge of a fucking cliff with my heart in my hands because she turns out to be pretty much the opposite to how I first judged her. I mean, her personality is still bubbly and she's kind plus obviously sexy as hell but she's so freakishly emotionally intelligent she's just the most down-to-earth girl.

The sun radiates onto her blonde wisps of hair stretching from her hair band making them blinding-white. I pull out of our tender kiss to look at her for a second, I just need to study her face she seriously does not look like a real person. The reflections of the sun make her look even more angelic. She begins to blush as I stare at her in awe with my mouth slightly gaping. "Stop you're making me nervous" she shyly chuckles clearing her throat. "You, nervous?" I sarcastically state. "I mean... If it helps we could let loose on a couple ice-breakers to help you feel a little more comfortable" I laugh, teasing her. She lightly fists me in the shoulder and starts to giggle which now makes me blush a little.

We sit there for the next few minutes, pecking each other's lips every now and then teasing each other about the way we appear to the other girls and how we initially appeared to each other. Shelby looks down for a split moment as I begin to run my thumb across her eyebrow. The sparkle in her clear, green lit eyes enlarges as she looks up cute and tenderly yet painfully clueless. "I'm sorry I wasn't making you feel more at ease after.. you know...". She cuts me off recognising my nerves, "It's ok!" Shelby protests, hinting at a smile whilst lifting our integrated hands, kissing mine a few times before gently placing them back into her lap. "You gave me time and I needed it." We both smile as I feel myself gaining more respect for her by the second.

Just as I lean in for more, we hear screaming. As an alarming reflex, I immediately spring onto my feet. I try to identify the voice or even what it's saying but I just can't it's inaudible. I turn around to Shelby and she quickly turns to me with a blank expression. I can tell she's paralysed so I reassure her (and myself) it's likely a disagreement between Fatin and Lea again but my lie doesn't seem to phase her (or me for that matter.)
