"Right then girly!" Nadine appeared out of nowhere, and was already in my face "Grab your swimming costume and meet us down by the creek!" 
I rolled my eyes jokingly but followed orders

I quickly changed into my half and half animal print swimsuit, then made my way to meet Nadine and Adele in the makeshift pool. 

"What's cooking good looking?" Adele called from the water, I dipped my toes in and slowly made my way in. 
"Right, there's no beating around the bush here because we all know why we're here..." Nadine begun, We all agreed first to take our mics off and place them 2 yards away, To ensure this didnt make it onto the final cut.
 "Mylooooo" Nadine whisper sung. I scoffed, but Adele prodded me from under the water. I looked up to Nadine who was sat on the edge and rolled my eyes. Her eyes met mine with glee, 
"There's no hiding it!" She said. 
"Okay, sure" I hesitantly admitted, both girls let out a squeal from either side of me. "Shushh! No, but its nothing like that, I mean, ugh I don't know" I groaned,
"No, come on Belle, spill!" Adele encouraged
"It's just, everything in here is so surreal, and everything is sort of, extreme, and nothing like my real life at all, I just don't want to dive headfirst into something in here and get out and regret it, and let's not forget literally everything is being recorded for national television." 
"Those are valid points, but I don't think you should allow them to dissuade anything. So long as your living at the moment, and so long as your following your hearts, then who cares what the outcomes like on the outside?" Adele advises
"What do you think of him though?" Nadine questions, 
"I really, really like him." I sheepishly smile. The girls squeal once more, "But this isnt love island, and I dont want a showmance." 
"What do you mean by showmance?"
"Well I dont want people to think im doing it for votes, or for a love story - I just want it to be natural" I smile,

We finish our gossip, collect our mics and head back to camp,
"Cheeee Belle!" I heard, I turn around to be met with the eyes of both a smiling Mylo, and a smiling RoRo.
"Ahem!" Adele coughed, signalling to herself aswell jokingly,
"Cheee Adele, is that you yeah?" Roman winked, I rolled my eyes then strutted off to change out of my swimsuit.

James and I later took shelter in our new home, what James rightly titled - The Haskian Palace.

James left to have a quick shower, And Andrew approached me, "May I sit just on the edge of the leader's bed?" He asks me,
"Go for it, you okay?" I reply
"Uhhhh," Andrew let out a sigh "I honestly thought I was going to walk out at some point"
"Really?"
"And I haven't so far,"
"You're doing amazing so far mate!"
"And when your tired you just go - God I hope I'm doing the right thing."
I nodded in agreement.

We continued talking, 

"You would never leave," I voiced
"Well, I don't know, I mean its...."
"Yeah but think about how your kids are probably watching, so proud." I interrupted

Andrew put his head in his hands, the reality of missing home hit him. 

James returned from his shower with a towel wrapped closely around him, we made eye contact and he flashed a confused face, pointing towards Andrew.

"I think now that we're back in the main camp, it is gonna get so much more bearable. I'll get Myles to put some beans on for you, have a lie in the hammock. I promise its gonna start looking up. And before you know it you'll be back with your loved ones."

Going to add Jungle Councillor to my CV
