"until i finally get to see you," leah stated the moment claribelle walked into the dressing room, walking towards her and pulled her into a hug, "rob like hogged you the entire freaking night."

claribelle let out a small laugh as she returned the hug, "rob made like a little secret signal for the both of us and we both went to the dock and that's when he told me that he had pulled liv for a chat previously to pulling me and basically cut it off with liv and that he's very much keen on me and really likes me a lot just to give you a short summary of it all and then we just kind of stayed in each other's presence, enjoying the company, getting to know each other even further."

"claribelle," leah gushed, clapping for her friend, "i'm so freaking happy for you. i swear to freaking god, i even told this to serena, if rob freaking does you dirty, i wont hesitate to throw hands with him."

"that's true! and shit, i will join leah too." serena added.

"me too!" jana said, walking into the dressing room.

"you guys are too sweet, i literally freaking love you guys. hopefully it doesn't come down to that," claribelle chuckled as she slipped on her pajamas, "but leah, don't think i didn't see you and matthew head on over to the docks after rob and i left. what happened?"

"he like basically set up this secret little mini date for us and so we were like just sitting at the dock and like talking and like, he kissed me again. i really think matthew and i like each other a lot."

"that's so freaking cute, what!" claribelle spoke, a smile playing on her lips upon hearing the good news from her friend, "i'm so freaking happy for you too. just know if anything, i got your back too."

claribelle's beach hut:
"i have grown to love leah a lot. she's like the sister i never got to have. i will literally go through hell and back for that girl."

eventually the girls all finished getting ready and one by one, they made their way downstairs to join the guys.

claribelle said her personal goodnights to leah, serena and jana and a couple of islanders before making her way to her own bed. she took off her slippers and set down her water bottle on the stand next to her bed, slipping under the covers.

she turned her head to the left, only to find rob doing the same exact thing as her. rob sent her a wink, causing claribelle to smile. she quickly shook her head and looked the other way, laying on her right side and closed her eyes, letting the darkness takeover.

the lights turned on in the bedroom area, signaling it was time for the islanders to wake up. claribelle did her usual- yawn and rub her eyes and do a little stretch to help her wake up.

the girls had their morning debrief in kaylor's bed, where they all discovered the events that took place last night that most missed out on. eventually they all decided to head on upstairs to the dressing room to begin getting ready for the day.

claribelle settled for a plaid purple two piece bikini and quickly slipped it on, heading over to one of the empty chairs. she decided on no makeup this morning and went straight to applying some of her skincare essentials. she was in the middle of applying her moisturizer when the door opened, revealing rob with two plates of avocado toast.

"special delivery for you, bels," rob said, placing the plate in front of her, "little treat for you."

claribelle laughed at the voice rob made as he placed the plate in front of her, "thank you, rob."

rob then walked over to the other side of the table, placing the other plate in front of liv. liv thanked him and rob nodded, walking back. he looked at claribelle and placed his hand on his forearm, dragging it down and walked away.
