"okay, it's time to get coupled up for the very first time." ariana announces, "and here's how it's going to work."

"girls, as you can see, the boys are each standing on a heart. when i say "go", you're going to head over and stand by the boy that you want to couple up with. this could be based on someone you like the look of, someone you kissed in the game. anything you like."

"if any boy has more than one girl standing on his heart, he will get to choose which of them he wants to couple up with." ariana further explains.

"all right, girls. stand by your boy. in three...two...one...go!"

amani didn't have to think too much about her choice as she made her way to kordell who stood with a bright smile.

"i was getting nervous."

"why?" she asks smiling back at him as his arm wrapped around her waist. "you're safe, baby." she teased, pinching his cheek briefly.

"you girls really knew who you wanted." ariana chimes, analyzing jana, serena and hannah standing beside coye.

"we all can't be 6'8." kendall says earning a laugh from everyone.

"all right, coye, let's start with you. you have three gorgeous girls next to you. hannah, jana and serena. coye, how are you feeling?"

"feeling...overwhelmed." he laughs, rubbing his hands together.

"does this happen to you a lot in the real world?"

"yeah, it does." he answered smugly and honestly.

everyone laughs not doubting it for a second.

ariana turns to hannah, "what made you want to couple up with coye?"

"i mean, coming in here, i said i want a man 6 foot and up. that was the first thing i said."

"okay, jana? why did you choose coye?"

"first of all, look at him. 10/10. i think he's definitely the first one to catch my eye. and he's a really good kisser, for sure." jana says with a giggle.

"serena, why did you choose coye?"

"he's obviously very handsome. and he said that he wanted someone, you know, outgoing and smart. so you know, that kind of piqued my interest a bit. and, i mean, he picked me up, so..."

amani nods her head understanding completely. coye was a big boy she could definitely see the appeal, not even realizing the side eye kordell was giving her.

"well, coye, you've made quite the first impression. you now have to decide which girl you want to couple up with. jana, hannah, or serena."

amani could sense the girls nervousness from where she stood.

"i'm gonna go with jana." coye finalizes, bringing her in for a hug.

"okay, jana, congratulations!" ariana cheers with a smile, "hannah and serena, don't worry, i will get you in a couple by the end of tonight, i promise. for now, take a seat on the bench."

serena and hannah followed ariana's directions.

"we have our first love island couple of 2024, jana and coye!" ariana announces and everyone cheers before she goes to ask each girl why they chose who they chose until she got to amani.

"what made you pick kordell?" ariana asks and amani smiles once he playfully squeezes her hip. "i really admire how he approached me. i usually intimidate a lot of people, mainly men in real life. so, i found it incredibly sexy how he made the first move and how easily the conversation flowed."
