Came Here For Love (Love Island AU 2018)

New Boys

"Morning everyone," I yawn to the people in the bedroom, rolling out of bed and onto the floor, stretching. Josh and Erin laugh at me, and Erin comes over and tries to tickle me.

"No!" I sleepily squeal, wriggling away and getting up, running out to the kitchen and using Eden as a shield.

"What the hell?" he laughs, utterly confused until Erin runs out after me.

"She's being mean and trying to tickle me!" I yell as I dodge her hands and run away, sprinting till we are on opposite sides of the pool. She gives up and walks back inside laughing.

I wander back to the kitchen and makes myself some coffee and cereal, scoffing it down quickly and chatting to Tash, Josh and Charlie. I head upstairs and shower before getting ready for the day, putting on a cute little boho style bikini and heading back downstairs.

"That style really suits you," Justin complements, making me smile in thanks.

"Did you know you were humming in your sleep last night?" Cass asks me.

"No, I thought I'd stopped doing that," I groan.

"Wait what?" Erin asks.

"Yeah, apparently I have a habit of humming in my sleep. I thought I'd stopped that but apparently not," I tell her.

"Yeah you did that and made cute little noises during the night," Cass continues as we move over to the corner of the pool, me climbing in and leaning against the edge.

"Do you, like, hum songs and stuff?" Erin asks.

"No, I'll just hum one note but sometimes I do it repeatedly in a short amount of time. Half the time I wake up with an arm in the air too, but it fucking hurts because it's fallen asleep and I physically have to move it with my other hand cos it's like frozen," I tell them.

The other girls come join us and we make small talk about the boys and what we like in a guy, while the boys go up to the balcony and mess around up there. We get onto the topic of celebrity crushes, mine being Christian Coulson (aka the guy that plays Tom Riddle in Chamber of Secrets). I had to explain that to the girls before they understood who I was talking about, but they all agreed.

"Fuck off!" Erin says suddenly, shooting up and holding her bikini to her tits to not flash anyone, and we all look to see what she's talking about. The other girls all gasp while my jaw drops slightly looking at them both. Both are very attractive, one giving off very Tarzan vibes and the other looks like a tall rugged blokey-bloke.

We all stand up to introduce ourselves, but first I help Erin back into her bikini. The boys all peer down from the balcony to try and suss them out.

"Hey, I'm Lexi!" I introduce myself, leaning up to hug them and give them each a kiss on the cheek, ending up hitting their jaws instead due to their height. They both chuckle and introduce themselves. Tarzan's name is Elias and the other is John-James.

"Geez their cute," Tash whispers to me, and I quickly nod in agreement.

"You look like Justin," Erin says to Elias.

"Funny, he's actually a friend of mine," he returns, and we hear Justin confirm that on the balcony. The boys make their way down to meet the new boys, a couple of the single boys getting cocky, thinking their place in the villa is still safe.

"Oi, Grant keeps coming and being touchy feely with me, like he's trying to mark his territory," Cass comes and whispers to me.

"I spotted that, maybe he's finally realised he's a shit head and been pushing you away. Either way, keep an eye on him, but keep your options open, particularly after yesterday," I advise her, and she nods in understanding.
