A Bit of Me

EP05 Pt2 A Date with Fate

SUMMARY: Afternoon dates in the Spanish sunshine. The boys are going to be grafting hard today. But, do the girls like the look of the new boys?

NOTE: This chapter will contain multiple points of view (pov). Dates will be from the girl's perspective. Typically on the way to and from a date the Islanders are accompanied by a chaperone so no chats can occur regarding what's happening in the Villa, feelings, and such.

Iain Stirling:

The OG boys were discussing which of their partners heads could be turned.

"Two good-looking lads that have just come in and we are fresh." Bobby added, "It's a game changer."

"Massive game changer." Gary nodded, looking toward the garden and lowering his voice, "Henrik and Lucas are gonna be grafting hard on the girls. They ain't gonna waste any time."

"They must be buzzing, the girls. You know what I mean?" Rocco asked, "So, who do you think is most likely to get their head turned?"

Ibrahim looked thoughtful for a moment and then chimed in, "Priya's head could turn. She was looking pretty taken with Henrik."

Ibrahim in the Beach Hut (BH): "Henrik's got that likeable, nice boy thing going on."

Bobby disagrees. "But, she's probably not going to want to see you leave the villa." And hopefully not me.

"Maybe, maybe not." Ibrahim just shrugs. But he hopes the real estate agent isn't as fickle as she sometimes seems. He is aware he needs to be more attentive, open, and affectionate. Girls he's dated have gushed over his massaging skills, so today would be a great opportunity to show Priya he can be attentive and affectionate.

"Lottie looked excited by the new boys." Without showing any emotion, Rocco expressed his worry. "Her head could easily be turned."

"Yeah, he said Lottie was absolutely his type," Bobby said with a half-smile, knowing he probably had looked too serious.

Tension crept back into his body. Gary rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Marisol's out for somebody new."

BH Gary: "They're good-looking lads. They're in shape, that's for sure. They'll definitely rock the boat. They're coming in here with no loyalties to any of the lads."

"Grace's head could be turned, I guess. She's hard to pin down." Rocco clicked his tongue, seeming very disappointed. Gary's heart sank slightly as he whipped his head around to face the Irishman. Rocco's eyes narrowed in suspicion at the crane operator. He feels strongly that Grace would want to deepen their connection if Gary hadn't been grafting so hard. He added with a worried expression, "That leaves me in a tough spot, though. I'm certainly not ready to leave the villa yet."

The expression on Noah's face was neutral as he said, "Lucas did say Hope and Grace had caught his eye." The Chatham bloke was bricking it. He was trying to stay out of his head and appear chill as he commented, 'So, competition, isn't it.' A small smile formed at the corners of his mouth as Noah chimed in, "Healthy competition."

Iain Stirling:

There are two new boys in the Villa, and there's a certain question on everyone's lips.

Does a certain someone like the look of new boy Henrik? Or Lucas?

And the answer is yes, yes I do. But what about the girls?
