The electric windows rolled up, lighting up the bedroom indicating a brand new day at the villa, and although I'm waking up next to Rob- when I open my eyes I see Reggie and Leah in the bed next to us, and I'm brought back to the kiss Reggie and I shared during the challenge and then the talk in the makeup room last night.
"Leah's coming to lay with you, so I'm going to start getting ready for the day." Rob said, and kissed my forehead. I let out a laugh at the fact he knew to get up so Leah could have our morning girl talk.
I watched as the black haired girl got up from her bed, and made her way over to mine. At the same time she got out from under the covers, Reggie did too, and before he walked to the bathroom he sent me a sweet smile and I could feel my cheeks heat up.
"Are you blushing at Reggie?" She asks in a teasing way while crawling into bed with me- which only caused my cheeks to get even more red.
"Oh she so is." Serena says, and she pats my leg signaling for me to move it to make room for her.
"I can't lie. I was." I say while looking down at my fingers.
Things with Rob are so good right now, and I just don't think I'll have the heart to do anything that would potentially ruin the connection we have. I like Reggie, but my heart is with Rob right now and I plan on keeping it that way.
"I owe it to Rob and myself to keep exploring our connection, and there's also the fact he told me he's falling for me." As soon at the words leave my mouth I realize what I had said. I didn't tell Leah about it last night since I went running after Kaylor. I looked at the girls and see both of them having matching wide eyes and the jaws dropped open.
"I told him about the talk Reg and I had last night, and he was so ready to go find him that I did the only thing I thought I could. I was honest about my feelings for him, and said I could see myself falling in love with him and he told me he was already falling for me."
"Leah's right, you know. You can't talk about Rob without a giant smile on your face, and even if you may feel something for Reggie- it's clear to everyone what you and Rob have." Serena says while grabbing one of my hands, and I look at her confused on how she knew of my feelings for Reggie.
"I may have spilled the beans on you and Reggie to her." Leah awkwardly laughs, and throws her hands up in defense when I shoot her an eye daggering look.

I sat in the makeup room just staring at myself in the mirror in front of me. I had already changed into a one piece zebra printed swim suit, and I had given myself a blow out. All the girls had finished getting ready at this point, leaving me alone in room, and the only company I had were my own thoughts.
I wasn't sure how much time had passed since all the girls had went down stairs until I looked to the time- it read ten o'clock. I had been sitting alone for a hour just staring off into the distance or looking at all the neon signs that surrounded the room, but it was time to join the closest thing to society that I had.

I walk downstairs to the main part of the villa, and I see everyone doing their own thing. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Kaylor sitting on the swing with Liv and Hannah, so I decide to join them.
When I sit down I can tell they're all in mid conversation, but it wasn't hard to pick up on what they were talking about- Aaron. Kaylor mentions that, her and Aaron usually being a touchy couple, did not once cuddle or kiss of any kind during the night. She had even tried talking to him earlier in the morning while getting ready, but he wouldn't talk to her.
"It makes me think: is it really that big of a deal though? He's acting like we were in a relationship, and I cheated on him or something." She says, and I can see the tears are starting to form in her eyes. "Now there's just tension between him and I, and there isn't anything I can do about it because he won't fucking talk to me."
