it's our first full day in the villa, and i wake before any of the other islanders. breathing deeply, i go over the events of the previous evening and try to gather my thoughts. the steady rise and fall of his chest brings me back to the present. sometime during the night, rob shifted to the bottom of the bed. his head rested on the small of my back, his hands tucked around my waist. i lay there for a few moments, appreciating the peaceful energy of the villa, before starting to make my way out from underneath rob.
as if attuned to my movements, he starts to wake up, his hands tightening over my ribs and his head nuzzling harder against my back. shortly after, his eyes start to open, his hands unconsciously rubbing across my skin. "good morning, sweet thing" he whispers, his voice still rich with sleep, sending shivers up my spine. "good morning, robby. how did you sleep?" i ask, turning over to see him better. he snuggles back into me, resting his head on my chest as we relax and wait for the rest of the islanders to wake up. eventually, the lights kick on, the fluorescents shocking everyone else awake and prompting groaned complaints.
giving rob a kiss on the cheek, i get up to follow after the girls as we get ready for the day. rob heads to the bathroom where aaron and kendall are brushing their teeth. "you looked comfortable last night" teases kendall, aaron smirks and agrees, "i got up to use the bathroom and you were completely wrapped around rory" rob laughs, unsure of when he moved, but not displeased at all by the fact. "she's comfortable, nothing wrong with that" he tells them as he starts brushing his teeth.
rob/ beach hut: "honestly, last night went better than i had ever hoped. rory and i, we just click, and i'm going to make this work."
after the boys leave, the girls and i enter the bathroom, chatting and starting our hygiene routines. i get into the shower, allowing the warm water and soothing scent of my vanilla soap to prepare me for the day. after i dry off, i wrap my hair and body before making my way to the beauty room. the girls are scattered around the room, sharing about last night as they get ready to face the day. "how was your cuddlebug?" asks leah, with a teasing lilt to her voice, "i woke up and saw him cuddled real close to you." the girls laugh as i flush, "it was great" i say, "we kissed before bed and when i woke up, he had his head on the small of my back and his hands were wrapped almost completely around my waist."
we all cheer for each other and finish getting ready, excited for the day. i pull half my hair back in a clip, allowing a few pieces of hair to frame my face. after doing light makeup, i get dressed in a cute yellow bikini and matching sandals. "holy fuck! rory, i didn't know you had a tattoo!" shouts leah as they all turn to look at me. nestled high up on my hipbone, i have a snake tattoo, it's the only tattoo i've ever gotten. they take turns complimenting me, making me shy but grateful for their love. when we are ready, we all walk downstairs, heading to the kitchen to meet up with our couples.
as i enter the kitchen i see rob, head bent with concentration as he prepares a bowl of fresh fruit. gently, as not to startle him, i set my hand on his back as i peek around to see what he's doing. he looks down at me with a smile, "hi birdie, i didn't know what you'd want for breakfast, but i figured we could start with fruit" he says sweetly. as he turns to hand me the bowl, i see his eyes run over my body. the moment he notices my tattoo, a flush appears on his cheeks.
rob/ beach hut: "fuck"
he steps closer, his fingers gently running over the ink, "beautiful" he whispers. i blush, taking his hand we walk to the daybeds to eat and relax for the next few hours. we spend time learning more about each other, talking and laughing with the other islanders. i am sitting on rob's lap, his hands running over my hips as we hear a phone chime. "we got a text!" kendall shouts, as we all gather around to listen. "hi boys! i'm on my way to the villa. i can't wait to get to know you all, and tonight one of you will be sharing a bed with me! love liv #stealinghearts #jumpship" kendall repeated the words from his phone.
aurora/ beach hut: "i can't help but be nervous. rob is a great guy, he's handsome and very easygoing, it would make sense if she picked him. i just hope she's nice, i'd love to be her friend."
most of the boys were jumping around in shock while the girls and i curl up on the daybeds to talk. we were all feeling nervous, choosing our couples last night and now a bombshell could take him from us. "i think she's blonde" serena guessed. "blonde hair, blue eyes" jana said, agreeing with serena. a short while later, i am startled by shouts as the other islanders rush to greet her. "hello, i'm olivia." she says.
