The sun peeked through the curtains of the Love Island villa, casting golden rays across the room. Lena stirred, the soft warmth wrapping around her like a comforting embrace. She glanced at the clock—another day of challenges and potential heartbreaks awaited.
Lena's heart raced, but before she could respond, a flash of movement for the bed next to her caught her eye. She turned, and her stomach dropped at the sight of Kendall and Nicole locked in a kiss in the bed. The warm morning light framed them perfectly, but the moment felt like ice in her veins.
Lena wiped her eyes, trying to regain her composure, but the tears kept falling. She felt overwhelmed—conflicted feelings for Rob, the sight of Kendall and Nicole, and the fear of losing her friendship with Rob. Just then, she spotted Andira sitting under a tree, her serene presence a welcome distraction.
"Andira!" Lena called, her voice thick with emotion. "Can we talk?"
Andira looked up, concern flooding her expression as she stood and walked over. "Of course, Lena. What's wrong?"
Lena led her to the shade of the tree, the dappled sunlight flickering around them. Once they were alone, Lena couldn't hold back any longer. She sank onto the grass, burying her face in her hands. "I don't know what to do," she confessed, her voice muffled.
"Hey, it's okay," Andira said gently, kneeling beside her. "You can tell me."
Taking a deep breath, Lena looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Es que... no sé cómo manejar mis sentimientos," she began, her voice shaking. "Me gusta Rob, pero estoy asustada. No quiero arruinar nuestra amistad. Y luego veo a Kendall y Nicole, y me duele tanto...", y yo también hago eso ustedes en pareja solo quiero que sepan
("It's just... I don't know how to handle my feelings," she began, her voice shaking. "I like Rob, but I'm scared. I don't want to ruin our friendship. And then I see Kendall and Nicole, and it hurts so much... and I also do that you guys in a couple i just want to let you know")
Andira nodded, understanding shining in her eyes. "Lena, it's natural to feel this way. Friends falling for each other can be complicated, but it's also beautiful, and don't worry I'm not mad it's fine because I'm starting to loss feelings towards him because it seems likes he cares for you a lot Have you talked to Rob about how you feel?"
Lena shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. "No sé si puedo. Tengo miedo de perderlo." (I don't know if I can. "I'm afraid of losing him.")
"Perderlo no es la única opción," Andira reassured her, placing a comforting hand on Lena's shoulder. "A veces, abrirse puede acercar a las personas. Tienes que ser honesta con él."
(Losing him is not the only option," Andira reassured her, placing a comforting hand on Lena's shoulder. "Sometimes opening up can bring people closer together. You have to be honest with him.")
Lena sniffled, the warmth of Andira's words wrapping around her like a hug. "¿Y si no se siente igual? ¿Y si me rechaza?"
(Lena sniffed, the warmth of Andira's words wrapping around her like a hug. "What if it doesn't feel the same? What if he rejects me?)"
Don't worry he won't he likes you
As the host wrapped up their introduction, Lena's phone buzzed again, capturing everyone's attention.
"Another text!" Lena called out, excitement rippling through the group.
She quickly read the message aloud: "Attention Islanders! Today's challenge is 'Kiss and Tell.' It's the girls versus the boys! We'll ask a series of questions about your fellow contestants, and whoever you think matches the answer, you have to kiss them!"
