THE TENSION WAS still prominent - as if it could be sliced with a knife. When the lights came on the next morning, Ella jumped out of bed and into another. And, Jess would tumble out of her bed if she moved any further to the left.
Isabella was looking forward to the morning debrief on the terrace, but it appeared that the females had broken into smaller groups. Whitney sat on the terrace next to the Manchester girl. She put on her sunglasses to protect her eyes from the sun.
Molly and Leah joined the two females a few moments later; it appears they've known each other long before they entered the villa. The other girls appeared to be seated around the little fire pit, deep in conversation. Probably about the previous night.
"I have some news," Molly said first. "Zach and I had our first kiss last night!" The three girls screamed in delight for their pal. "I'm starting to really like him," she concluded. Molly shifted the conversation to the new girls, Leah and Isabella. She inquired about their first night in the villa.
Leah answered first, "I think Tyrique and I might have a connection but I don't know if he's flirting with me for the sake of it or if he's serious about getting to know me."
Isabella completely agreed, "I'm the same. I had three really good dates but I think I'm going to pull Jess for a chat today, she seemed upset last night." The other three girls agreed with her and thought it was a good idea.
"As much as I'm in here for myself and to find someone, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with anyone in here."

WHITNEY AND MEDHI were sent on their first date later in the day. When they went, the other islanders knew their day would be spent sunbathing, chatting, and not much else.
Whitney's excitement for the date was palpable as the islanders waved the couple out the door. Isabella sat in the sun for a while, attempting to get the perfect tan on her skin.
When she awoke from her nap the girl decided to approach Mitchel for a discussion. She hadn't spoken to him since their date yesterday, and she wanted to know where his head was at.
"Mitchel," she called over to gain his attention while he was in the kitchen with Andre and Ruchee. "Do you want to go for a chat?" He nodded, took his water bottle, and walked over to Isabella.
"Where do you want to go?" he inquired as he walked alongside her. "Maybe the pool?" It's quite hot." They walked over to the pool and sat on the edge, their feet in the water.
Isabella leaned back on her arms, gazing up at the pure blue sky. "How are things going for you?" Mitchell initiated the conversation, and the dark-haired girl turned him while continuing to dance her feet in the water.
"I'm good, I just wanted to pull you for a chat and see where your heads at after our date? Are you still tunnel vision for Molly, or are you open?"
Isabella took Mitchel's silence as a response when he waited a while before speaking. She wasn't going to waste her time in here or on Mitchel if all he cared about was Molly.
Mitchel's a good looking lad but he needs to realise he's waiting for around Molly but she isn't waiting around for him. She's moved well on.
Mitchel finally gave a response to the model, "You're a lovely girl, Isabella. But I think Molly will come back to me, soon." The girl cringed at what he said but didn't push the topic any further - she wanted to know where his head is at, and now she knows.
Boys will be boys.

THE HAPPY COUPLE returned from their date on cloud nine. They rode around the lovely scenery on their date before enjoying a romantic picnic where they got to know each other better.
Whitney stressed to the girls that they did not kiss, but if Medhi played his cards correctly, he might get one in the near future. Isabella was overjoyed for her new friend.
The Islanders headed into the Villa to prepare for the night ahead as the calm day came to an end. The girls' dressing room was everything Isabella could ever want, it had everything she could think of.
The walls are lined with wardrobes containing things she brought from home as well as new ones presented to her. The vanity cabinets were stocked with a variety of cosmetics and scents. She was living a dream.
When everyone was ready, they had a toast in the garden before splitting up. Tyrique approached Isabella when she was strolling with Catherine and Zach, he asked to go for a chat.
Tyrique and Isabella were resting on one of the daybeds. "I just wanted to pull you aside for a quick chat because I feel like you're the only girl in here I haven't talked to much."
Isabella grinned as she sipped her drink. "Yeah, I know. So, how are things going with Ella?"
"I feel like we fight all the time. And I keep thinking, if we're like this now, what would it be like if we were to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Are you open then, to get to know people?"
Tyrique nodded enthusiastically, "100%. You need to explore connections in here."
Isabella grinned, "Tyrique, are you saying we have a connection?" she teased. The lad looked away and rubbed the back of his neck. "We might." he smiled back at her eventually.
The pair hit off straight away and their conversation was flowing really natural. Isabella wondered why she didn't pull him for a chat sooner. Tyrique wondered the same. Their conversation was interrupted by the yell of Sammy, "I got a text!"
"Can all islanders please gather around the fire pit, immediately." Oh no.
