The electric windows rolled up, lighting up the bedroom indicating a brand new day at the villa. Another night of sleeping alone, and truth be told- I'm starting to enjoy it. After a long, hot, and sweaty day- the best thing is getting ready to sleep in a big bed all to yourself.
"Good morning everyone." Hannah says tiredly as the rest of the islanders bid their mornings back.
Already knowing what, more like who, is coming- I shift myself to the edge of the bed while opening the comforter for Leah to crawl into bed with me. She came over laughing at the fact I was already ready for her company.
"How are you feeling, lovey?" She asks while getting comfortable next to me.
"I'm okay. Tired, but okay. What about you?" I ask while turning to face her.
"Really good actually. I think things with Reggie are going really good, and everyday I look forward to being around him- I think thats a good sign." She says smiling.
"Thats a great sign, babe." Leah and I both look up to see JaNa walking over to the bed, and taking her place under the covers and soon after Serena does the same.
"Anything new with you, Elena?" Serena asks.
I look over the room to make sure Liv wasn't around before telling her about the kiss Rob and I shared on the dock last night. Of course a smile made its way across my face, and at this point I don't even bother trying to hide it or catch it before it happens- I know everyone says not to put all your eggs into one basket, but things with Rob just feel so right and I will say- I at least did make the efforts to talk to some of the other guys, but it wasn't the same with any of them. There was attraction, sure, but there were none of the fireworks I feel when I'm with or around Rob.
"I'm so happy for you two. I had the feeling something was still going on between you two." She said smirking at me.
We spent almost an hour talking about all the connections we were having with the guys. Serena had mentioned she was thinking about friend zoning Kordell. I can tell she really likes him, but right now she just sees him as a friend and thats okay. She had briefly mentioned to me one night that she feels like he's telling her all of the things she wants to hear, but she doesn't feel like its genuine- it feels like it's scripted because Kordell wants Serena to like him. I can definitely see where she's coming from, but at the end of the day I think she just needs space- they have a connection, and it's apparent but she may just need some time to figure that out for herself.
"You know we'll all be here here for you no matter what you choose, Rena. If space is what you want, then okay. I think the big thing to pay close attention to is how he handles the conversation if you do end up having it with him." I say making all the girls agree with me.
"I think I'm going to give it some more time because he is one hundred percent my strongest connection, but I don't know it's a friendship or relationship." She says while throwing herself back against the bed to where she's now laying down.
"Well let's go get ready. We have to for starters, but it'll also help to get your mind off of everything." JaNa says, and we all get out of bed and head to the makeup room.

"Do you think theres going to be a challenge today?" Hannah asks the girls while we're getting ready.
"I definitely think so. We haven't had one yet, and no got a text yesterday so I think something will definitely happen today." I said recalling a realization I had from yesterday that no one had gotten a text.
