Red, Hot Summer

DAY 6 - All I hear is Rocco...

HENRIK

He couldn't believe that the most beautiful girl in the villa was actually interested in him. It had been a struggle to keep his hands off of Scarlett all day but as the others had dispersed around the villa to start getting ready for the evening he had grabbed a moment with her in the kitchen. As he trailed kisses from her ear and down her neck he felt her body relax against his, her hands winding around his waist.

"I've been wanting to get you alone all day," he murmured in her ear, before his lips found her. She kissed him back deeply, her tongue massaging his as he pressed her body against the counter. Gripping her thighs, he lifted her onto the counter and she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him against her. "Why are you so sexy? The things I want to do to you right now..." he whispered between kisses before she eventually pulled back from him.

"I should go and get ready for the evening," she sighed, feeling her heart pounding in her chest. She was in real danger of going further than she should.

"Do you want to sleep out here again tonight?" he asked her and she grinned at him.

"Definitely!" she replied, kissing him one last time before she jumped down from the worktop and headed into the villa to find the girls. He took a few moments to compose himself before heading in for a shower.

SCARLETT

Henrik was such a good kisser! And what had that kiss with Noah been about? Had he felt what she'd felt too? Hope didn't seem to be even bothered about it - it had only been a peck but the way he'd looked at her afterwards?! Before she could think about it any more, she was hit by the smell of bananas and coconuts and Hope flinging her arms around her as she stepped into the dressing room.

"Ummm, okay?" Scarlett said, slightly confused.

"I just think we need to all put our differences aside for a minute!" Hope said as she squeezed her. "I've been so worried about us all after everything that happened this afternoon."

"I'm worried about Lottie," Scarlett whispered, glancing over at where she was staring at the mirror, gripping her hairbrush so tightly her knuckles had turned even paler white than usual.

"How did we not see this was going on under our noses?" Hope said. "Oh my God, do you think anyone else has been getting it on in secret since we came in here? For all we know other people have been hooking up all over the place and we've all known nothing about it? Priya and I were just talking..."

"I'm not sure now's the time," Priya said, tactfully as Lottie's eyed flitted in their direction.

"We think this Marisol and Rocco thing is bigger than just what went down today!" Hope blurted out.

"It was weird, that they kissed twice, wasn't it?" Priya said. "I mean I know you and Henrik did but you're quite openly grafting each other and you'd told Ibrahim it wasn't going anywhere before anything happened with Henrik!"

"Maybe I'm totally blind, but it came out of nowhere for me," Scarlett said.

"You have been rather wrapped up for the last couple of days though," Hope teased her. "But what we want to know is when did those two get so close and how did none of us see it coming?" Lottie slammed down the brush and walked out of the room.

"Poor Lottie," Hope said, "She takes coupling up very seriously!"

"Maybe it wasn't the most sensitive time for us to talk about this!" Scarlett said.

"Has Rocco tried it on with you guys?" Priya asked them.

"He did when we were coupled up and I had to tell him no about three times before he got the message," Scarlett replied.
