IT WAS UNUSUALFOR THE GIRL TO WAKE up the following morning next to Jay and not Jacques. Every morning, Jacques would draw her in for an embrace, and she had become accustomed to this.
Drew looked at Jacques while the islanders engaged in light discussion. When the rugby player saw Drew approaching, he moved the white duvet to make room for her.
It felt like paradise to feel his arms envelop her. She melted into him. "I missed you." In her hair, he spoke. She grinned as she leaned in for a kiss as she glanced up at him.
The two continued to exist in their own bubble, ignoring everyone else in the room, enjoying each other's company. Before speaking to Drew, Jacques changed his position in the bed and used a soft voice.
"How is it sleeping next to Jay?" Looking down at the blonde female whose head was resting on his chest, he questioned. She said, "I prefer you," while still keeping her gaze forward.
While spotting the other boys getting up and heading outside to the kitchen, Jacques laughed. Before chasing Luca, he gave Drew one final kiss on the lips.

THEY HAD DECIDED TO HOLD THEIR morning debrief in the bedroom because the lads had left it earlier than the girls today. Drew was still resting on Jacques' bed when the girls gathered around her.
In contrast to the other girls, who sat at the foot of the bed, Ekin sat next to her. They were all able to fit on the bed somehow. "Is Dami a spooner?" Paige asked Indiyah who was seated across from her.
"Yeah, literally all night. I'm beginning to understand now why Tasha's beauty salon is always open."
When Drew switched her attention to Ekin, Gemma was talking about how she and Luca had been cuddling in bed the night before. "How was your night with Charlie? Third times the charm, eh?"
