Love Island 2019// Tommy Fury

Tommy and Stella ended up in a restaurant where the producers led them back to the kitchen. "Hello!" Stella greeted as she saw the man and woman standing, waiting for the couple in the kitchen. 

"You must be Stella!" The woman brought Stella in for cheek kisses. "I am Louisa, and this is Roberto," she gestured to the tall man next to her. "Today, both of you will be learning to cook together!"

Stella clapped her hand in excitement while Tommy looked at her fondly. 

"Cooking can be a very intimate activity to do with a partner, and it does require being able to work as a team, so let's get you guys some aprons."

"I love cooking!" Stella put on her baby blue apron excitedly while Tommy chuckled at her. "How are you as a cook Mr. Fury? 1-10?"

"Hate to say it but about a 4 love," Tommy pinked up in embarrassment.

"That's ok babe! I'm not the best, I just like it!  We can learn together!" She squeezed his bicep and pulled him over towards where Roberto and Louisa were setting up. "Ok guys! What are we making?"

The couple ended up learning how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu. They also learned that Louisa and Roberto were a couple who had met through the food industry and had gone on to open a world-renowned restaurant together. After the cooking was finished, Louisa and Roberto said goodbye while the couple set up at a candlelit table to eat their creation. 

"Well it looks good," Tommy chuckled as he laid his napkin on his lap and grabbed his beer. "Let's make a toast," Stella grinned and raised her own wine. "To a hopeful future together, and to getting out of this villa and being able to explore our relationship."

"What is the first thing you'll do when you get out of villa?" Tommy asked the brunette.

"Definitely go see my family and cuddle with my dog," Stella could have teared up at how much she missed her pup.

"A dog!" He looked excited then. "What kind? He or she? Name?"

"Her name is Piper and shes a mini Goldendoodle," Stella giggled when Tommy 'awed. "You like dogs then?"

"Yeah, I was never able to get one because of how much I travel but I've always wanted at least two once I settled down!"

"Good, because I always wanted a second pup so Piper wouldn't get lonely but I just didn't think I could handle it alone."

"Well maybe I can get a dog of my own and we can co-parent," He grinned at the happy smile on her face. "So when we get out of here, what is the plan? How much longer do you have for school?"

"I only have a year and a half left, and most of that is my actual clinical time," she took a sip of her wine. "What about you? Will it be right back to fighting?"

"I think I'll have to take a bit of time just to get back into training, but yeah the hope is to get back into it."

"Well good! I want to see you live in action," she giggled. 

"And why is that Ms. Edwards?" Tommy smirked when he saw the blush adorn her cheeks. 

"It would be nice that's all. I would need to come to look at the bachelor pad you've got set up in Manchester, I can only imagine," she redirected the conversation.

"Oi! My mum helped me decorate my place so it can't be that bad," he pouted at her. 

"Alright if mama fury took care of it, its gotta be beautiful."

Tommy and Stella arrived back to the villa and were immediately pulled opposite directions by their friends. "How was it?" Maura gushed as soon as Stella had sat down with her, Amber and Molly Mae. 

"It was so nice! We cooked a meal together and then we just got to sit and eat and talk about some plans for after the villa," Stella blushed as the girls all cooed. "I'm just so happy I've met him, he's literally everything I think I could want."

Anton's voice cut through the girl's gossip with a message. "I've got a text! Can all islanders gather at the fire pit immediately."

Stella and Maura linked arms, heading for the fire pit and Stella grabbed Tommy's hand from where he was waiting for her. The three sat down next to each other, Maura sitting alone as she was single. 

Michaels phone beeped first. "Islanders, the public has been voting on their favorite couples. Those with the lowest number of votes will be vulnerable tonight."

"Maura, as you are single, you were not included in this vote. Everyone, please stand," Molly Mae read next as all of the Islanders stood. 

"The first couple that is safe is," Anton began, waiting for the next text to come in. "Michael and Amber." The two sat down before Joe's phone beeped. 

"The next couple safe is," he paused. "Stella and Tommy." The brunette kissed Tommy quickly before sitting down and grabbing Maura's hand. Anton and Molly Mae were the next to sit and then it was just Curtis and Fran and Joe and Lucie. 

"Curtis and Francessca and Joe and Lucie, both of you as couples received the least amount of votes from the public, making you vulnerable," Amber read.

"But not all of you will be going home," Tommy read next. "The safe couples will be voting for one female and one male islander to save from being dumped from the Island."

Stella could already feel her stomach clench as she turned to look at Tommy. "I don't like this," she whispered under her breath, looking at the two couples standing in the corner of her eye. 

"Me either love but we need to do it," he responded softly, grabbing her hand to soothe her. "Its sad to say but I think for the male it's pretty easy."

"I agree," Stella sighed. "There is no way we can send Curtis home. So I guess we need to decide between Lucie and Fran."

"I don't want you to think anything of this, but I do think Lucie would be willing to make another connection outside of Joe," Tommy said quietly, watching Stella for any reaction. "Fran came in here with only Curtis on her mind and I truly don't know if we saved her if she wouldn't be going home next time."

"I agree, but I want to say it," Stella said firmly, ignoring Tommy's look of shock as she turned to look back at the other couples who were also finishing up. 

Amber and Michael went first and chose to save Curtis and Lucie. Then Molly Mae and Anton chose to save Curtis and Fran. Then came Stella and Tommy's turn. 

"We want to save these two people because they have been such big presences in the Villa and I don't think any of our journies would be the same without them. We also think that both of these people would be able to find other connections in the villa as well. So the islanders we chose were, Curtis and Lucie," Stella smiled at Curtis and grinned when Maura squeezed her hand as everyone got up to hug Fran and Joe. 

"I'm so sorry Joe," Stella buried her head in his shoulder as he chuckled. 

"Kind of expected it to be honest, but don't you worry, I'm gonna be cheering for the two of yous on the outside!"
