First Sight - Vini Jr

-3

The next morning, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. As I make my way downstairs, I see that most of the girls in the kitchen. Vini is sitting at the kitchen table, sipping a cup of coffee.

I smile and make my way over to him, feeling a sense of comfort in his presence. "Good morning," I say cheerfully as I pour myself a cup of coffee.

"Good morning," Vini replies with a smile. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept pretty well, thanks for asking," I respond with a smile. "How about you?"

"I slept alright," Vini says. "I woke up a few times, but overall it was good." We chat for a few more minutes before the rest of the group joins us in the kitchen.

As we all sit down for breakfast, I can't help but notice the tension between Ollie and me. We exchange polite nods and small talk, but there's an underlying awkwardness that hangs in the air.

Throughout breakfast, I try to focus on the conversation and enjoy the meal, but my mind keeps wandering back to the events of last night. I wonder if anyone else noticed the tension between Ollie and me or if it was all in my head.

After breakfast, the group splits up to do their own activities. Some go on the beach, while others stay back to relax and talk by the pool. Vini and I decide to take a walk around.

As we walk, Vini and I chat about our lives back home and our plans for the future. It's easy to talk to him, and I find myself opening up more than I usually would with someone I just met.

As we round a corner, we come across Ollie sitting alone on the beach. He looks up as he hears us approaching and gives us a small smile.

"Hey guys," Ollie says, his smile faltering slightly."Hey Ollie," Vini responds, "What are you up to?"

"Just enjoying the view," Ollie says, gesturing towards the ocean. We join him and sit down on the sand, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

For a while, we sit in comfortable silence, watching the waves crash against the shore. I can feel Ollie's eyes on me every now and then, but I try my best to ignore it.

As the silence stretches on, I begin to feel restless. I want to break the tension between Ollie and me, but I'm not sure how. Suddenly, Vini speaks up.

"Is something going on between you two?" he asks, my heart skips a beat at Vini's question. I glance over at Ollie, who looks just as surprised as I am. "What do you mean?" Ollie asks, his voice laced with confusion.

Vini looks at both of us before continuing. "There's just been this weird tension between you two since last night, and I can't help but notice it." Ollie and I exchange a quick glance before looking away.

I take a deep breath and decide to address the elephant in the room. "It's nothing, really," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. "Just a misunderstanding." Ollie nods in agreement, but Vini doesn't look convinced.

"I didn't do anything, did I?" Vini asks. I quickly shake my head. "No, it's not you," I say. "Ollie and I have something we need to work out." Vini nods slowly, still looking unsure.

The three of us sit in silence for a few more minutes before Vini stands up. "Well, I'm going to head back to the pool," he says, looking at both of us. "You guys should talk and figure things out." With that, he walks away.

I can feel my heart racing as Vini's words hang in the air. Ollie and I are left alone on the beach, staring out at the ocean. After a few moments of silence, Ollie clears his throat.

"I'm sorry," he says, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean to make things awkward between us." I turn to face him and give him a small smile.
