The electric windows rolled up, lighting up the bedroom indicating a brand new day at the villa. I can confidently say nothing beats the feeling of waking up next to Rob- not even having a bed to myself the past few nights.
"Good morning everyone!" Liv says to all the islanders, and everyone bids their good mornings.
I roll over to face Rob, and smile. I laid my head on his chest, as he began running his fingers through my slightly tangled hair.
"Good morning, beautiful." Rob tiredly says with a smile on his face.
"Good morning." I say, and leave a kiss on his chest. I begin moving away from the comfort of Rob's arms when I see a smiling Leah make her way to the bed, and he attempts to pull me back into his arms.
"Sorry Rob, but we need our morning cuddles." I say smiling while opening the blanket for Leah to crawl into.
"Yeah, Rob. It's girl time." Leah says as she crawls into bed. With her next to me I'm forced to movie over a bit causing Rob to hang off the edge.
"Seeing as I'm hardly on the bed anyways, I'll go get ready." He says, and playfully rolls his eyes. He kisses my forehead, and gets up to make his way to the bathroom with the rest of the guys.
Leah and I spent the first part of our morning just like all the ones that came before it- we cuddled until we were awake enough to sit up, and begin out morning rants. I talked about how happy and excited I was to be coupled up with Rob again, and to begin furthering out connection with one another- which was no surprise. It's what Leah said next that was the surprise.
"I'm not sure if I'm still feeling it with Reggie." She says while looking around to make sure no one is listening. "He's such a good guy and I do think we have a connection, but I'm worried it's more like a best friends connections." She's fiddling with the blanket in her hands, and talking nervously.
"Oh my gosh, Leah. That's the last thing I expected you to say." I stare at her confused, but also shocked at what she had just shared with me.
"Do you think I'm a bad person?" She asks. "I don't want to lead him on, but I also want to keep talking to him and exploring out connection in case what I'm feeling is just a weird hick-up." She looks into my eyes, and I can tell she's searching to any type of answer or clarity.
"I don't think you're a bad person at all, Leah. I do think you should keep this on the down low for now just in case it is just a weird hick-up, like you were saying, but if at the end of everything you're still feeling like it's just a friendship connection- that's okay too." I say while grabbing her hand and squeezing in hopes to comfort her.
We spent the next couple of minutes talking before getting ready for the day. She talked about how she was going to go about her feelings for Reggie, and what she would do and say if it came down to her breaking things off with him.
***
Rob and I had been sitting on the swing talking since I had come down stairs after getting ready. Things between Rob and I are going extremely well, not that they weren't before, but now that we are in a couple again- we have shown everyone and ourselves that we are strong. Not many couples come back together after being split up by a bombshell, but we did. If that doesn't show how strong we are- I don't know what will. I can only hope it stays that way.
"Do you think I can talk to you for, like, two minutes?" At the same time Rob and I look up to see Liv staring down at us.
"Me?" Rob asks since we were both confused on who the question was directed at, and she nodded her head. "Yeah, of course." He says.
