A Bit of Me

EP13 Pt3.1 Date night

SUMMARY: Tonight... Dates! The new arrivals get grafting.

Iain Stirling:

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

It's only going to get hotter...

Our brand new Islanders are going on dates!

Who will Chelsea choose?

Can Jakub tear himself away from the adductor machine?

Found out now!

TEXT ALERT

"OMG!" Chelsea squealed with delight. "I finally get to say it! Guys! I got a text!" she exclaimed. "I've been waiting to get the chance to yell that out."

The Islanders drop what they're doing and gather around. Marisol and Bobby come running from the Villa.

Chelsea reads out.

"Chelsea and Jakub, it's time for your first dates.

Please choose three islanders to take on a date.

#firstdatevibes #letthesinglesmingle."

Chelsea squeals. "I've got three dates."

Grace asked, "So, who are your dates?"

"Well, there were a couple of boys I couldn't resist." Chelsea purses her lips together and looks at each of the boys in turn. "Let's see. Hmm. For my first date, I'm going to choose..." She wiggles her fingers and points. "..." It lingers briefly over Gary before moving over to Lucas. Lottie visibly relaxes. "Lucas!"

Grace (thinking): It looked for a minute she wanted to pick Gary. I wonder what changed her mind.

Chelsea beams. "Will you go on a date with me, babes?"

Lucas turns to face Chelsea and replies with a broad smile, "I'd be honoured."

"Amazeballs. The second person I want to take on a date is..." Her finger wiggles in the air again. "Gary!" Gary looks up, startled. "Will you be my second first date, Gary?"

Grace (thinking): Chelsea's asked Gary on a date!

BH Grace: "I don't know how to feel about it to be honest. On the one hand, we're coupled up, but we're not married off. She does have to get to know the boys too, but it's a wasted choice. We're a strong couple."

"Uhh..." Gary saw something flash in your eyes before you gave him a nod. He flashes Chelsea a huge smile. "Yeah, I'm up for that."

Chelsea says, "Yay! I can't wait!"

BH Gary: "I'm going on a date with Chelsea; I don't know why she asked me. But I'm going to go into it with an open mind and just see what she's like."

Chelsea continued, "The third person I would like to go on a date with is Bobby!"

Bobby cheered excitedly, "I'd love to go on a date with you, Chels."

BH Bobby: "I am super excited that I got picked. But it is a great feeling to be going on a date with her. I am chuffed."

Chelsea spins around to face Jakub. "Your turn, babes. We'd better head inside and get ready!" She walks back to the Villa with Lucas in tow.

She is practically bouncing with excitement as she heads for the dressing room.

Jakub looks around. "Right, I've done a lot of thinking about this. And the first girl I'd like to take on a date is..." He pauses for the dramatic effect. "Hope."
