****Abbey's POV****
We all watched Sam and Georgia leave the villa and make their way down the driveway out of sight. We then made our way back into the garden and I went and had a little chat with Adam
"I can't actually believe they're gone. I will miss her."
"I'll miss them two. We haven't always seen eye to eye but she is very sweet and he's a gentleman." Adam said. "If that's what they want to do then I'm happy for them."
"I think we could all see these past few days they've been so uncomfortable in here."
"Yeah. It's a shame really."
Georgia and Sam will be missed by us all I think. But I think it was the best decision for them. These past few days they've been struggling and I don't think it would have been fair on either of them to do that.
"I'll miss her bubbly personality, like the way she just used to light up the room."
"I can remember when she used to love dares and getting us all wound up"
"I miss that version of her."
"Well hopefully now she's gone she can refund the person and you'll see her on the outside."
"I hope so." I said and kissed him. "So another recoupling has passed."
"I know. We've made it through together."
"I think all the couples seem quite into each other. Except from Josh and Steph. I hope Alex can get back on track."
"I think he can. He's a smooth talker."

I noticed that Alex had just left Alexandra and she seemed quite emotional so I made my way over.
"I'm here if you want a chat hun." I said and led next to her. "What did Alex say?"
"He was just asking if I was disappointed and I was like honestly, yes. I can't believe I mugged myself off like that."
"How?"
"I told Paul that I wanted to kiss him and he reacted in that way. I would never tell someone I wanted to kiss them before this."
"That's not being mugged that's just being honest."
"But now I'm just back at square one. I don't want to force anything with Alex and I feel like in this situation I am. If there's no connection then there isn't a connection."
"I'm sure though if that is the case then he'll realise that."
"Yeah and I hope Paul thinks that too."
"If I'm honest I think he does. I've seen the way he is with Laura and if that means you should have no shame in being rejected."
I could see the tears coming out of her eyes and pulled her into a hug.
"Come on now. You're strong and you'll make this work. If you don't want things to happen with Alex then just tell him that. I know rejection is hard but you've just got to learn from it."

We made our way inside to get ready for bed and I noticed Laura getting ready in the dressing room.
"Laura are you going to have a kiss and a cuddle tonight?"
"Well we've already had a peck but it won't go further than that."
"Good." I said. "I want no funny business in the bed next to me"
"I don't know how affectionate he is though. He might want to sleep on the opposite side to me."
