Tommy and Curtis were busy talking as they came over to the girls on the swinging chair.
"Hiya girls." Curtis said with a little wave
"Hiya, guys move down a bit so the boys can also sit here." I said motioning the girls to move.
"Thanks Delilah." Tommy said as he sat down next to me, and I smelt the axe aftershave of his.
"Delilah I know that this is going to sound weird but you look very familiar." Curtis said pinching the frame of his nose.
"Oh so it's not just me, I also feel like I know you from some where." I said with a sign of relief,
"Delilah weren't you on strictly a few years back?" Amy asked as we all looked at her.
"Yea, did you watch it?" I replied with a little giggle.
"No way, I'm Aj's little brother." Curtis chuckled and put his hand out for me to shake.
"Aj's old dance partner." I stated as I shook his hand
"Never thought that I'd be meeting the Delilah King."
"Wait so you can dance?" Tommy asked as he looked like a child.
"I couldn't until I went on there." I tried my hardest to be nice and not sarcastic
"Well he isn't the brightest fish in the sea"
"But what did you say that your job was again?" Amber asked me as I was getting up to go inside.
"I'm an investment banker, dancing was became a way for me to release stress and then it became easy to split my time between my work and my new hobby." I said as I yawned
"Guys we can finish interrogating her tomorrow but the poor girl is tired let her go to bed." Tommy said as he got up and put his arm around me. Everyone got up and started walking inside. Once we got into the makeup/ girls closets area we all started taking off our makeup.
"Anton's definitely not getting this sexy outfit now." Amy said as she put it away back into the closet.
"Aw Amy join the club." I said with a smile.
"Well what are you going to wear?" Yewande asked me noticing that I put my makeup wipe in the trash.
"Probably one of my baggy shirts and some shorts." I said as I pulled out a shirt and some black shorts.
"Wait I've seen that shirt on your brothers instagram." Amber said midway through putting her clip in her hair.
"Yea, half the sleep shirts that I have I've taken from them." I said as I walked into the bathroom. After I was done with my night routine (skin care+ general hygiene). I walked into the bedroom.
"Hiya lads." I said as I put my hair into a bun for the night.
"Delilah you got something under that?" Micheal asked unsure of if he wanted the answer or not.
"Yea Micheal some shorts." I laughed as I hopped into Callum and My bed, as everyone hopped into their beds, the lights went off.
"Night Islanders." Anton yelled
"Night." Everyone replied
—————————————————-
The next morning
I woke up to see Amy sitting in her bed,
"I wanted to wait for you, since everyone is already getting ready."
"Aw thanks babe." As we got out of bed and went to go get ready, I pulled out a Lilac swimsuitAs I walked outside I saw everyone busy doing their own thing.
"Morning guys." I said as I rubbed my eyes.
"Morning Delilah." Callum said then carried on his conversation with Yewande.
Once I had made myself an omelette Tommy came up to me.
"Hey can we have a chat?" He asked as he sipped his water.
"Yea sure, day bed?" I asked as he nodded and walked over there.
"So I mainly asked you to come here so I could get to know you." Tommy states as he put his shades on his head.
"Okay well what do you want to know?" I questioned as I munched on my toast.
"What do you do for a living and why'd you chose it?" He asked
"Well I'm an investment banker, ever since I was a child I enjoyed Math so yea, why'd you get into boxing?" I thought that I may as well just get to know him.
"Well I've always looked up to my brother Tyson, and I was always around boxing so I thought that I'd give it a try, and never thought that I'd go this far with it. Didn't you say that you are 21?" Tommy must have been surprised at my career choice.
"Yea I am, I graduated from school at 16, finished my masters/bachelors at 19 and then now I'm doing a mix of work and my PHD. I really love it because I can take my work wherever I want since I can work from home, which is great when I want to go and see my brothers." I replied
"You seem to be very close with them, I mean I know that I'm close with mine but still I never really have met a sister who is close with her brother(s) the way you are." Tommy said as he sipped his water
"Yea, they are like my rock. Our parents were always busy working when we were younger so they were like the only influences and supervisors that I had." I said as I had my last bit of toast.
"Why were the never at home?" Tommy asked,
"Well they were always working, both have high demanding jobs." I said as I got a text saying that we had to go and do a challenge.
—————————————————-
After the challenge
"Lets just say we all learnt some shit after that"
I went to go and talk to Curtis and saw Tommy getting to know Lucie
"Delilah come here." Curtis and Amy motioned me to come to them.
"Just the people that I've been looking for." I said with a giggle as I sat down.
"Why's that." Curtis asked as he sat up right.
"So I had a long think about this last night and I'm now stuck and I don't have a clue what to do." I huffed
"tell us what you've thought about."
"So you know how Callum and Tommy are both my type on paper?-" Curtis interrupted me
"You like Tommy?" Curtis squealed
"Yes and keep your voice down. But that's not the problem. The problem is that something in my heart and my head is telling me that now just isn't the right time for Callum, maybe in a few years time but just not now." I said with a sigh.
"Well I believe that you should go with your heart, and don't overthink it, you have all the time in the world to find the one and if Callum is really it, then he should be fine waiting but if he's not, then he's not the one." Amy said
"Yes exactly." Curtis agreed with what Amy had just told me.
"Thank you guys, that actually really helps me." I said as I gave them both a little hug.
"Now King, you and Amy should go get ready for tonight." Curtis said as he pushed us away
"I like the nickname Pritchard." I yelled with a friendly wink.After much debate, I decided to wear a check blouse with some black shorts and some white vans. I just did I light makeup look, because 1. I don't really know what I'm doing and 2. My skin would have kill me if I did another full face.
"Go, talk to him. See where his head is at." Amy rushed me out of the room
"I love you to." I giggle-yelled as I walked outside.
"Hiya Tommy how are you holding up?" I asked as I rubbed his arm slightly
"I'm split between two great girls and I have no clue what to do about it." Tommy sighed as he took a sip of his drink.
"Tommy, just follow your heart I promise it will do you well. And it's not like you can't then explore your options with the other girl cause she might not even know that she is the other girl." I said as I leaned back onto the counter.
"Thanks Delilah, that really helped." Tommy said as a smile was back on his face.
"Anytime, now I'll leave you to think." I said as I walked away."Yes I may fancy him, but I can't get mad at him for following his heart."
"I got a text" Tommy yelled.
Islanders,
Please get seated by the fire pit for Tommy and Curtis to make their decision
As we all got seated Callum turned to me and said
"You look nice tonight Delilah." Since Curtis had started his speech I just mouthed 'thank you' to him.
(I'm skipping the reasons why because I forgot both of them)
"This is why I'd like to couple up with... Amy." We all clapped an Anton didn't even look pissed off about the situation. As they stood together I smiled at them both, since they really are such a great fit. As Tommy started his speech I couldn't help but notice that he kept on looking back and fourth from Lucie and I.
"And the girl that I'd like to couple up with is." Tommy took one last look at me.
"Lucie."
