the girls and i get ready, taking our time as we refresh ourselves and get dressed for the evening. i quickly do light makeup and throw my hair in a clip, ready to get back downstairs to see my boy. i need to thank him for stepping up to support liv, even though she may not have said much about it, i know she appreciates his effort. liv is such a strong person, i don't think she knows how much we care for her. rob, despite not spending much time with her, knows how much she means to me, how much all the girls mean to me and i love how he makes an effort to help them when they need it.
we return downstairs, rob calling me over as he sits with the guys. i flounce over, smiling brightly as i greet the rest of the guys. rob pulls me into his lap and the boys pull me into their conversations. there is definitely tension between hakeem and i, but i don't think it's my place to insist he apologizes to liv. i notice connor's gaze on leah, i arch an eyebrow at the action, "what's that about?" i mumble. he flushes as the boys chuckle. "i'm thinking about getting to know her, it's nothing serious, yet" he says, meeting my gaze. i nod slightly, adding, "you need to tell jana." he says he will, but gets up and makes his way to leah instead.
i lean against rob, frustrated for jana and the boys change the topic, likely trying to move on from the situation. "doll face" kordell says, catching my attention. "yes, delly?" i respond, "what's serena been saying, is she happy with us coupled up and everything,?" i take a second, thinking over my conversations with serena. "i think she is, you've been really consistent, i think that's a big thing for her. in any case, i haven't heard her say anything bad." kordell nods, satisfied with my answer as the rest of the boys ask for my thoughts on their relationships.
after speaking with them for a while, i notice leah and connor still have yet to return from their talk. i nudge rob, telling him i need to speak with the girls and he gets up to follow. we make our way to the beanbags, finding serena and jana having a tense conversation. "hi, lovelies" i greet them, "may we join you?" "of course, baby" jana says as they move over, making space for rob and i on the other seat. he sits down first, draping me across his lap as we face the girls. "jana" i start, worrying my lip between my teeth, "have you seen", she cuts me off, nodding as serena adds, "yeah, baby. that's what we were speaking about."
i nod sadly, "they haven't said anything yet?", jana shakes her head, a frustrated look pulling at her stunning face. " i just don't get it" she starts, "he never said anything about her, and now that she's single, he's all over her? that's weird." serena, rob and i all nod in agreement. rob speaks up, "connor is weird in general. to be honest, i've never really let the stuff with him and rory go, we already know he isn't respectful of other people's connections." jana nodding in response, "that's the thing, i never said he couldn't explore with other girls, i just don't know why he felt like he didn't have to tell me."
we speak with them for a little while longer before making our way up to our spot. i've grown fond of the private little room, some of my favorite moments with rob happened there. we settle in, the silence covering us in a calming blanket after the events of the evening. i crawl into his lap, straddling him as i seek out his strength, his protective arms covering me. i place my head in his neck, breathing him in as i start to relax. "this is crazy" i mumble finally, breaking the silence. he nods in agreement, "there's been a lot of changes today." his words hit like lead against my chest.
i stiffen slightly, aware that things could change for us too, "and us?" i ask quietly, "are things going to change between us?" he pulls me tighter, "no" he says, the word a full stop, ending the line of thought. a smile against his neck, placing a kiss over the warm skin and allowing myself to relax once again. once night falls, he walks me back to the beauty room, giving me a kiss as he leaves to get ready for bed. i enter the room, immediately tensing as the argument taking place.
"he's not your boyfriend, jana." leah says, a frustrated tone lacing her words as her voice raises. "i never said he was" jana snaps back. "i don't know what more i can do" leah says, shaking her head. "that's why you don't have to tell me. we don't have to talk about anything" jana says, trying to take the high road. "grow up" leah says, dismissing jana. "leah" i gasp, as jana snaps back, "i'm grown as fuck and i'm good." i shake my head, torn up about them arguing, as much as i love leah, jana has every right to be upset. serena and i leave the room, heading to the bathroom to do our hygiene routines.

after i change, i head to find rob, not surprised that i'm the first girl to make it into the bedroom. he pulls me into his lap as he talks to aaron. "where's the girls, dolly?" aaron asks me. i shake my head, "last i checked, they were in the beauty room. jana and leah got into it, i don't know what's going on now" i respond quietly. he nods his head, going back to his conversation with rob. the girls finally file in right as the lights turn off, rob flipping me over to cuddle as we drift off to sleep.
author's note
the kissing challenge is coming up ;)) does rory fully send that shit? or should she keep it very mindful, very demure?
