More Drama & The First Recoupling

This morning, both John and I are the first ones up again. We do the same as yesterday and make coffee and cuddle on the couch (after I wash my face and brush my hair, of course), except this time we just enjoy each others company and watch the sun rise, sharing a few little kisses here and there.

After about an hour, I see Eden and Grant pop up on the balcony and figure Erin must be up, so John heads up to the boys while I head inside to see Erin and get all the gossip. I catch her going into the bathroom.

"Erin!" I whisper-shout, catching her attention. She realises what I want and makes me follow her into the bathroom.

"I'm gonna take a shower if you wanna hear all the gossip, plus that way the boys won't hear," she tells me.

We both put bikini's on and hop in the shower together, not really caring what the others think and chatting while we wash our hair and stuff, purely having the bikinis in case someone comes in the bathroom and we don't want them seeing our bodies.

"Oh my god, it was amazing! They had champagne, strawberries, chocolate dip! It's so romantic and it was so nice to have privacy for a night," she gushes, smiling wide. "I hope you guys get to go in there and experience it, you'll love it!"

"Hopefully we will," I blush and smile, ducking under the water to rinse out my hair.

"Do you think you and John will recouple?" she asks me in a low voice.

"I hope so, I love being around him and I can feel myself falling for him. He's everything I asked for in a guy, and I love his outlook on everything," I tell her, and she wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Oooooh!" she teases, and I whack her gently on the arm, both of us giggling.

We get out of the shower and dry off, drying our hair and putting it up and out of the way.

"Oi, Tash is really salty about yesterday still," Cass comes and tells me lowly, looking at Erin and Tash having a conversation. Erin sees us looking and makes a face while Tash is looking out at the view, making us snigger.

"I don't see why though. Like, I get finding someone attractive and all but he gave no indication that he felt the same or was wanting to chat with her as more than friends, so that's not my issue. We're in here to find love, she hadn't established anything with him therefore I wasn't stepping on any toes," I explain, slightly ranting in annoyance.

"Babe, don't worry I'm completely on your side with this, so is Erin. I'm just letting you know in case some petty bullshit starts," she says, hugging me quickly. She heads off to find Grant and I wander over to Tash and Erin who have moved to the end of the pool, having dragged over a couple bean bags.

I lay myself over the edge of the pool, legs and bum in the water and torso on the deck, sunbaking and joining their conversation.

"Oh my god," Erin mutters, glaring over my shoulder. I turn my head to see Eden and Millie messing around at the other end of the pool. He's pushing her on the flamingo and they're bantering but it's bordering on flirty.

"Do some guys really have no tact or brain?" I ask rhetorically, both girls snorting in agreement.

"Each time he touches Millie, it's like money I'm deducting from him," Erin jokes bitterly, not entirely joking about the sentiment.

"Mate, he should be starting with zero and working up the ladder," I point at her, and she hums, pondering over it in her head.

"Not a bad way to look at it," Tash agrees.
