we invite liv to sit with us, starting up the conversation and trying to get a grasp of her preferences. during our conversation, leah and i notice the glances liv was giving both rob and kendall. eventually rob and i split from the group, heading upstairs towards soul ties for privacy.
thoughts of him and the potential for our relationship had been rushing through my head all evening. i do understand that expectations this early on could lead me down a steep path of misery. as we walk, i consider how to bring up my thoughts to him. he's been so polite, given me no indication that he would look to another and yet i understand that's exactly how we are supposed to play this game. "what do you think of liv?" i ask him, waiting with baited breath as he looks at me "i don't" he responds.
he helps me in, this time automatically going to take my heels off for me. he gently pulls my legs over his lap, skimming my skin from the top of my thigh to my ankle. he deftly releases the ankle strap, repeating the process on the other side. he sets both shoes aside and begins to massage my feet. his long fingers dig into my arches, releasing tension i didn't even know i was carrying. as he moves around my feet, he hits a particularly sensitive spot, causing a quiet moan to slip before i can stop it. i blush, holding my breath as this grip tightens and he looks up at me.
"aww sweet girl" he coos, "you were wound pretty tight, huh baby." my blush deepens, pulse racing as he goes back over the spot, holding eye contact with me. "you could have said something birdie, no reason to suffer when i can help you" slowly he works his way up my legs. working over the muscles in my calves and up behind my knees before resting his hands on my thighs. he grips my thighs and pulls me in to sit on his lap, my legs resting on either side of his. my hands make their way to his chest whilst his settle on my hips.
"your hands are so big" i whisper, thinking aloud. "they are, but you're just a tiny thing, birdie. every part of me is big compared to you." he responds, holding one of his hands up, palm facing me and gestures for me to do the same. "look at that" he whispers in that slow gravel of his, "look at how small you are compared to me, sweet girl." our eyes reconnect, falling into the same position, i play with the collar of his shirt as he rhythmically squeezes my hips.
eventually it's time to head back downstairs. liv immediately pulls rob for a chat, nervously, i go sit with the other girls as i watch their conversation. ariana soon walks in, leading us to the fire pit. after a shocking twist, liv has coupled up with kendall, leaving leah single and vulnerable. serena, jana, and i follow leah upstairs, trying to comfort her as we get ready for bed. after doing my hygiene and skincare routine, i brush out my hair and apply my strawberry lip balm. i change into my pajamas and hug each of the girls goodnight, before telling leah i love her and heading to the bedroom.

entering the bedroom, i find the guys talking and lounging around. i hug them and tell them each goodnight before making my way towards rob. he sits up and pulls the covers back, making space for me before he covers us back up and pulls me in tight. the girls come in as the lights turn off, chatter turning into whispers. "i don't like you hugging other men, birdie. they don't need to touch you" he whispers, gripping my hair to tilt my face to his. the feeling of his gaze is heavy, even if i can't see him, i can feel it roaming my face. "you don't want me to hug them?" i ask, confused by his statement, i don't normally encourage physical contact with most people. "i'm not telling you that, but i don't like it." he says pulling me in tighter. our lips inches away from each other, breath speeding up as excitement sets in. "kiss me, please?" i ask, wrapped up in the moment.
he gently connects our lips, savoring the connection a moment before it picks up pace. my hands find his hair as his drag down my torso before grabbing underneath my ass, pulling me closer to him. we lose ourselves in the rhythm of the kiss, only pulling away some time later to settle down to sleep. "so sweet just for me, huh pretty thing" he coos kissing my neck before rolling over allowing me to rest against the warm skin of his back. "sleep well, handsome" i say, kissing his back before dozing off.
author's note
thank you for all the support 🥰 honestly, the book is going to start changing from the original plot of love island. i will include the bigger events and new islanders but i want to really focus on the journey of rory and rob.
this will be fast paced, almost instalove but not. they are endgame, and will not couple with anyone else
thank you for reading please remember to vote if you like the book so far
