i wake the next morning to the lights turning on. leisurely, i roll my limbs out, groaning with relief as my joints crack. i turn, giving rob a kiss before following the girls to the beauty room. "good morning" i greet softly, quickly changing before i make my way to the bathroom. i brush my teeth, bending over slightly as i rinse my mouth when hands land on my hips. i straighten in surprise, looking up to see rob through the reflection in the mirror. "morning baby" he says, his voice thick with sleep. i tilt my head slightly, asking for a kiss as i make space for him by the sink. after we've both done our hygiene routines, he leaves me with one last kiss, patting my hips as he heads towards the boys.
i make my way back to the beauty room, greeting the boys as i pass by them. i sit down at the vanity, calling jana over. "can you help with my hair, please?" i ask her, my lips pouted out as she laughs. "of course, let's get you sorted out." my eyes close as she works through my hair gently, her touch soothing as she braids the front section, pining it back. once she's done, she drops a kiss on the top of my head, "you look beautiful." i smile, thanking her as i turn to gather her in a tight hug. i raise my voice slightly, addressing the room, "would you guys like breakfast?" the girls nod, requesting whatever i feel like making, or a smoothie.
i make my way to the kitchen, pulling ingredients out of the fridge as i start on pancakes and bacon. once that's done, i quickly scramble some eggs and start prepping the fruit for their smoothies. the other islanders make their way downstairs right as i finish, thanking me as i pass out plates. rob pulls me against him, dropping a kiss against my neck as he speaks, "thank you, birdie. it smells delicious." i blush, nodding my head in thanks as i carry the smoothies towards the girls. after everyone is finished, they make their way towards me, giving me hugs before dispersing into the villa. leah grabs my hand, catching the attention of serena as she speaks, "can we talk, please?"
i walk with her towards the daybeds, serena settling across from me as we wait for leah to speak. "you guys" she starts, her voice trailing off. "i think i fucked up. i don't know what happened. i think like, i don't know. i think now that it's something i have, i don't want it anymore." serena and i make eye contact, smiles appearing on our faces as we laugh at leah's words. "i don't want to like, kiss him, or touch him in bed" leah says, her voice stressed as serena pipes up, "you don't have to." i nod in agreement, gripping leah's hand as she continues, "i hate his fucking skinny jeans." i laugh abruptly, slapping a hand over my mouth as the girls crack up.
"you're gonna get over these icks" serena says, her voice supportive as she tries to soothe leah. jana walks over, her face concerned as she settles next to me. leah's eyes brighten, facing her as she holds out her hands. "jana, i'm feeling really weird." jana's eyebrows raise, "why? what happened?" her voice is gentle as she looks around at us. serena giggles, shaking her head, "go ahead, tell her." leah runs her fingers through her hair, gripping it as her voice raises, "i don't like him anymore!" we burst out laughing, serena jumping up as she runs off with leah. they make their way back to us, jana catching her breath as she speaks, "no bitch, shut the fuck up." leah shakes her head, "no, jana, like seriously." jana and i look at each other as she stresses to leah, "wait wait, it's not that bad. he's like, really sweet."
rory/ beach hut: "i had a feeling things would blow over between leah and connor. he never seemed like her type honestly. i just hope she apologizes to jana over the whole thing, it's kinda shitty how she went about everything and now she doesn't even want him."
i stay on the daybeds, basking in the sunlight as i relax. i feel him before he touches me, the energy rippling around us as he lays down. "hey baby" i whisper, my eyes still closed as he presses a kiss against my lips. "hey, birdie. you look so fucking good today.", rob's voice is husky as his hand runs over my hip. i smile slightly, my eyes peeking open as i look over at him. his eyes are glossy, slightly unfocused as they run over my body. i open my mouth to tease him, but a sound across the villa accompanied by liv's shout distracts me. "i've got a text!" she says, her voice thick with anticipation.
rob grabs my hand as we head towards the kitchen, the other islanders hovering around as we wait for her to read out the text. liv looks around, a confident smirk on her face as she reads, "islanders, it's festival time in today's challenge, burning love. which couples' relationships are heating up and which are going down in flames? #lovetrip #hotmess." everyone cheers with excitement, our blood pumping as we leave to get ready for the challenge.
