   "Good morning, islanders!" Kaylor says happily as the electric blinds roll up like they do every morning, and speaking of every morning- Leah is making her way other to my bed only this time Rob stays.

"Well, good morning love birds." She says smiling, and Rob wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling me closer to him. "Rob I love you like a brother, and it's because I view you as a brother that I want you to listen to me when I say: if you hurt her in any way- I will never forgive you, and I will make sure you have no chance in Hell of Elena ever coupling up with you again." She says while looking directly into his eyes, and sending him her sweetest smile after.

"I may have told her about our conversation form last night." I say while laughing.

"Well it's a good thing I don't plan on ever hurting her, or putting anything involving her or our connection at risk." Rob says, and kissed the side of my head leaving me smiling. "I should go catch up with the guys, and get ready for the day." Rob says, and then leaves the room with Leah and I on the bed together.

I express my worry about Andrea making a move on Rob with a few tears shedding here and there, and Leah sat there listening to every single word I said. We also talked about Andrea and Nicole possibly getting to go on a date with the guy of their choice, and that's scaring the hell out of me- I'm pretty sure Leah caught on to my anxiety creeping up on me, so the changed the topic of conversation. We talked about her new found interest in Connor, which surprised me tremendously, but I was happy for her none the less. She deserves to find someone and find happiness just as much as everyone else in the villa.

   Leah and I were in the makeup room now getting ready for the day while everyone else was already down stairs. I had just gotten changed out of my pajamas, and into a simple black bikini since I wanted to go for the more simple route today. My hair was fairly simple as well- it was wavy with a slight curl to it since I slept with my hair in french twists the prior night.

"Elena, girl, Andrea is coming for your man!" JaNa shouts in a whisper while entering the makeup room.

"What do you mean?" Leah asks as she finishes up her makeup.

"She was talking to Connor earlier and he said at the end of the conversation he wasn't interested in her because he didn't feel the connection with her, and then Connor came to tell me that at the end of their conversation- Rob was her number one, and she was going to do whatever she needed to in order to get him." JaNa saying this doesn't surprise me one bit, so I finish up my makeup without giving a reaction.

"What the fuck" Leah says. "Elena, how do you feel?"

"I feel the same as I did last night. I'm choosing to believe that what he feels for me is truthful, and that if something did happen between the two- he would tell me." I say and the two girls nod their heads at me. "I think if the two of them end up stronger than him and I it means their connection is beyond strong. All I ask is: one- for him to be honest with me, and I'll be happy no matter the outcome and two- I hope he isn't love bombing me." I say, and that leads into me telling JaNa about the conversation Rob and I had on the dock last night. She was excited and happy, as I expected, and I think she was able to realize how devastated I would be if Rob chose Andrea over me especially now after claiming to be falling in love.

   After waiting on Leah to finish getting ready- her, JaNa, and I walked downstairs to join the rest of the islanders for a breakfast the consisted of nearly every food and juice imaginable. I dug right into the french toast, fruit, and iced coffee- leaving the avocado toast and eggs far away from me.
