   The electric windows rolled up, lighting up the bedroom. There were a mix of groans, and cheers from the islanders- I was on the groaning team, but got excited with the other girls remembering today was an off day. I turned to my side to see Rob, but I was met with an empty side. Recalling the previous night- Liv chose to steal Rob thus ended in me sleeping alone. I can't complain though, it was nice.

"Good morning, pretty." Conner walks by me smiling, and me being too tired to speak I smiled and waved at him making him laugh a little.

I'm not going to lie, I do not want to get out of bed. After Conner and Hakeem came to the villa, and Liv stealing Rob- the girls and I stayed up way too late talking.

I rubbed my eyes in hopes to become less groggy and tired, but it was no use. The mix of tiredness and puffy eyes from crying last night while talking to the girls took over my body, and I laid back down covering myself with the cozy white comforter.

"Roll over, girl. We're cuddling." I wasn't concerned with who it was in particular since it was one of the girls, so I did as I was told. "How are you feeling after last night?" I opened my eyes again to see whom I was talking, and i was happy to see Leah.

"I'm okay, I think. It wasn't an easy thing to see happen, but I feel like I got most of my feelings out- so I'm okay right now." I told her truthfully while we moved around getting comfortable.

"Girl, you're more put together than me. If someone came after my man knowing we had a strong connection- I'd be pissed." Serena said as she joined Leah and I in bed.

"I agree with that." Now it was JaNa's turn to join in on the group cuddle sesh.

We all laid there for a couple minutes before I broke the silence:

"I don't know if i should talk to Rob today. I want to, but at the same time I don't want to get in the way of him and Liv. There's also Conner who showed interest in me last night too."  I groaned, and threw my hands up in confusion. "I don't know what to do."

"I think you should talk to both of them. You need to see where Rob stand with you and Liv, and you also need to find out the truth about whether they had a connection or not because both of them are saying different things." JaNa said seeing as she's the most civil one in the group right now.

"Unless she has a humiliation kink." All four of us burst out into laughter at Serena's comment.

"On a more serious note, you should definitely see where snake boy stands, but you should also talk to Conner more too. You two seemed like you really hit it off after your chat."  Leah says once we all stop laughing. JaNa and Serena agree with Leah's advice, so I guess I'll be doing that today.

   After finally getting out of bed, the girls and I all went into the bathroom to start our mornings.  planned on keeping today super chill and simple since it was an off day, so when I got to my hair and makeup station the only thing I did was: curl my lashes, comb through my brows with some clear brow gel, and put on sunscreen and lip balm. I didn't bother with my hair due to the humidity, and the fact I would most likely end up throwing my hair in a clip or pony tail at some point. I kept my outfit for the day pretty simple as well- a plain dandelion yellow bikini with an oversized white linen coverup, and some white Birkenstocks to complete my simple look.

I made my way down stairs, and to the kitchen. While I was making my smoothie, I was joined by Conner. We made small talk, and got to know the basics about each other. To be honest- I like him, but he's not Rob, and I hate the fact I'm comparing the two. It's not fair to Conner. I had no choice but the shake off the thoughts, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to get to know Conner a bit more since I'm newly single.
