4pm

The house was quiet today, at peace with who they sent on the date and what they did to progress relationships. So during the dates, this is what happened in the house.

Christen got into the pool and did laps around. She wore a dark blue bikini that she bought last year. She loved swimming more than most exercises. While she was doing a couple of laps, she got distracted by a moving figure on her left. She looked over and saw Tobin slowly coming into the pool.

Tobin: Need company?

Christen: You've already invited yourself in, so why not?

Tobin rolled her eyes at the snarky comment, walking up to her through the pool.

Tobin: Dont be like this, you know i'm sorry. I've told you yesterday, i'll tell you now. I didn't mean to flirt with Alex that morning, it's just things weren't ended at the time.

She attempted to hold Christens hand, but she pulled her hand away. Christen knew what she was doing - trying to dominate the conversation so that Tobin knows she's in trouble.

Tobin: I really am starting to like you...

Christen: You should've thought about that before. You need to know, i'm not gonna hook up with anyone in this house, that's just not me. So if you're looking for a hook up, it isn't gonna come from me.

Tobin: I know and that isn't what i'm looking for. I've had my fun in this house, yes. But i'm all about you now.

she pulled Christen closer then pressed their bodies together. She leaned in and pressed their lips together. They moved their lips in sync slowly. Christen let out a small moan allowing Tobin to deepen the kiss, which she gladly did. Tobin slowly pushed Christen back to the edges of the pool with their bodies against each other. Christen slowly pulled away, she didn't want this to move this fast but she was happy with the way Tobin has been.

Lindsey laid on the couch staring at a blank wall, she didn't feel so good today, Emily walked in and sat next to her with her arm over Linds' shoulder.

Emily: Whats wrong? you know you can come talk to me. So speak.

Lindsey: I'm so homesick. i'm tired, i'm bored, i don't know if this show will even work out for me in the end.

Emily stood up and left mid conversation, leaving lindsey confused, it stung a little since Emily literally said she was there for her.

Lindsey: Great, leave as soon as i literally open up to you.

Emily shook her head and yelled from the bedrooms.

Emily: No i'm coming back i promise, i just need to do something.

Emily walked in and took Lindsey's stash of coffee beans she bought from her favourite coffee shop in Portland, she hoped Lindsey wouldn't mind - after all, she is doing this for her. She also grabbed two of her hipster t-shirt's with her on the way.

She went to the kitchen but peaked on lindsey on the way there, she had her head down on her knees. Lindsey looked really down, all Emily thought was 'Pull yourself together for a few minutes Linds, just until i finish what i planned for you'. She brewed Lindsey her coffee and attempted to perfect "latte art" but failed miserably.
