I'M HAVING YOUR BABY // LUCA BISH (LOVE ISLAND 2022)

"Afia, Gemma and Paige, you are all going on dates." Paige reads, the three girls getting excited at the chance to dress up. "Please get ready to head out to the garden. Paige and Afia, you will date first."

"Start manifesting girls. You need decent guys that'll treat you right."

"Tall, dark, handsome. Tall, dark, handsome."

"That's what she manifests?" I whisper to Luca as they continue chanting on their way out of the room.

"Go on then. What did you manifest?"

"Horny, hot and will treat me like a princess."

"Fair enough. Have you got what you wanted?"

"So far it seems so, yeah." I lean up and kiss him before getting out of bed. "Manifesting works if you do it right."

I join the girls in the dressing room and start getting ready so I can watch the dates rather than rushing to get ready later.

"How is this gonna work with the three of us?"

"It said Afia and Paige were first so my guess is you'll have one date each, then it'll be Afia and Gem then Gem and Paige. They'll have one of you sat off to the side during each date."

"Oh yeah, okay, that makes sense. I thought they were gonna make me do both dates after you two had done both. Thank God it's not. That would've been so awkward."

"They're not that mean."

"Is anyone else getting that feeling?" Tasha asks as she walks back into the room.

"What feeling?"

"Like slightly sick but excited. I feel like this is gonna be both good and bad for certain people." Once the girls finish getting ready, Afia and Paige head downstairs while Gemma stays up here with the rest of us.

"I mean yeah, a little but that's probably just nerves for me." We head outside and sit on the benches, trying to get a look at the new boys before their dates. "He kinda looks like my ex from the back." I look over the terrace at the two guys, hoping for Gemma's sake that it's just a coincidence and not her ex.

"That might explain your feeling, Tash. Which one is your ex?"

"The closer one." The two boys turn their heads slightly and my stomach drops.

"Shit."

"What?"

"The other one is my ex."

"Nope. That explains the feeling." I look over at Tasha, not really needing the comment at this moment in time. She gives me a small smile and mouths a quick 'sorry'.

"The one that..." Gemma trails off as the boys step out onto the terrace.

"The one that cheated." I nod my head in confirmation before groaning and dropping to the bench next to Luca. "Fuck me, man."

"I mean I can but there's an audience."

"Fuck the audience. They can watch."

"Leave the sex for the hideaway please." We laugh under our breath a little and everyone turns to face us.

"You've been coupled up for two days."

"I'm surprised it took us that long."

"Not gonna lie, if the ice cream guy wasn't there at the date..." It's nice to know I wasn't the only one feeling that way on the date.
