I feel the vibrate of my phone under my pillow 5:50am it reads, 10 minutes till the lights are due to come on. Yes I realise that's a little extra...but I don't fancy getting blinded in the early hours of the morning and I need 10 minutes to realise where I am, I'm in the Love Island Villa, and I'm sharing a bed with Georgia. Who's still sleeping peacefully but we're no longer entangled in each other's arms she's now on top of me and my arm is resting on her back whilst the other is under the pillow...how did this happen? I smile, and move her hair out of her face and kiss her forehead and even asleep she smiles at my touch. I look around, the only other person awake is Lottie so I wave my hand so she knows I'm up and she whispers "Morning Bobby, how you feeling?" Her thick Aussie accent floating through the room towards me "I'm alright, in fact never felt better!" She smiles "You two are the cutest" She says nodding towards where Georgia is lying. "She's the cutest I'm just lucky I got chosen!" She nods in understanding "I wish my couple felt like that." She sighs. "Oh, is it not going to well then?" She looks at Rocco sleeping the other side of the bed "I feel like his eyes are wondering somewhere else, I just don't know where." She shrugs. "Well, it has only been a day, maybe give it some time?" I really am not good at advice. "Maybe, yeah."

Then the lights come on, and a chorus of murmurs and groans sound out around the bedroom as people stir, Georgia moves her head slightly and her eyes open, she suddenly jumps off of me "I'm so sorry Bobs I didn't realise where I was!" I laugh "No problem, Lass you looked comfortable." She smiles, "I must have been, but how on earth did that happen?" She laughs confused, "I really don't know, but I didn't mind." Her eyes are twinkling as she says "You look awake and ready to start the day." Yeah, "Well, I am quite ready for breakfast if nothing else" Even in the morning she's gorgeous. We both look around the room as if we both just remembered there's other people, Gary's voice breaks the shuffling in the room as he booms "Sexiest thing in the morning.Go!" As he points at Hannah she looks momentarily shocked before saying "Uhm...breakfast?" The room laughs as the challenge goes around and it lands on me "Definitely bedhead" I look at Georgia her hair is ruffled out of place, half covers her face as the other half sticks up in a different direction entirely and I feel my face soften as she realises it's her turn and she looks around the group before her eyes land on me "Sleepy eyes!" The group nods in agreement as we begin to set off for the kitchen I get out of bed first as Georgia crawls across "This bed is rather large don't ya think?" She looks at me, rubbing her eyes and blinking rapidly - sleepy dust. "Yeah but then I suppose they have to fit two people and if people look like Noah and Ibrahim, then space is necessary." I laugh and wink at her, her laugh rings out "Well, that's there own fault for growing too tall then isn't it?" I nod, "Yes, Lass yes it is." Her smile widens "Well, I didn't think I took up all that much room but apparently a bed that big isn't enough! I still ended up sprawling all over you..."  She looks away nervously, I take her hand in mine "Nawh it was cute, just like your bedhead." And with that we head to the kitchen she goes down the stairs first and she pours us both some Lemonade as my hand touches the small of her back. "Cheers" we ting our glasses together "Will you let me drink this or you going to make me laugh again?" She seems to think about that for a minute "Hmm, I think you deserve that drink after last night." And all eyes land on her from the group, and she looks around "OH, No, omg not like that!" She laughs and I put the cup down "It's not safe to drink anything around you is it?" Her laugh gets louder "I'm sorry Bobs!" I laugh as I reach down to hug her my hands sliding around her waist and my head resting on her shoulder. "I wouldn't have it any other way, but I might just drink as much as I can when I'm not near you so I don't get dehydrated." She smiles and Marisol states "Yes, that's probably a smart idea, Bobby, without drinking for a long time, you'd probably die before the end." Wow, yes I know that. And I make a sound that only Georgia could hear "Urgh" she stifles a laugh as Marisol walks away Georgia turns to me "What a killjoy." This time I laugh before she does. We sit and eat our toast in quiet but each time we look at each other one of us ends up pulling a funny face sending us into a barrel of laughter. Noah walks back into the kitchen in a huff and Georgia watches him carefully "You okay, Noah?" He looks around as if not sure where the voice came from and his eyes finally land on Georgia "Oh yeah, great thanks." He smiles the first emotion I've seen him show to anyone except for Hope, who's voice can be heard from the lawn "Noah, babe?" He looks out on the lawn and spots Hope, he looks back at me and Georgia who's just finished her toast and stands up to pop it in the sink and as she stands Noah's eyes drift down her body as if he hasn't seen her before, and I nearly choke on my toast. He leaves with a small wave as he goes to where Hope is resting on the beanbags, Georgia sits back down opposite me and clocks my shocked expression "What?" She looks worried, I shake my head "I-didn't think he was the type." She looks at me confused "What? Noah? What's he done?" She obviously didn't see what he did "Georgia, Noah just- he just eye-fucked you." She looks through doorway and says "Ew, not sure what he was looking at though." My mouth drops open and she turns round she laughs "Bobby, your going to catch flies?" I blush as I shut my mouth "You, you don't see it do you?" She looks straight at my eyes as I continue "You don't see the way your hips swish side to side when you walk, you don't see your figure at all..." She looks away from me then, and I reach for her hand that's resting on the table "Your gorgeous, and I won't stop telling you that until you believe it." A tear runs down her cheek and her voice is strained when she speaks "Nobody has ever commented on how I look, nobody has seen me outside of my comfort clothes for the past 5 years...this" She gestures to herself "This is usually hidden under baggy clothes and oversized jumpers. But I can't do that here." I nod in understanding as she wipes away her tears and I scoot round on the bench so that I'm next to her "To me it doesn't matter what you wear, cos I think I would still want to be here with you all the same." She smiles up at me as I put my arm around her and she snuggles in "Thankyou, Bobs."

Before we realise it's about time to get dressed and as we separate I feel a pang in my chest and when I get to the boys changing room I get into my purple swim shorts and pack my cake bottoms back into the suitcase, and then find myself sitting on my suitcase with that pang still hurting in my chest, I look up and in front of me is Rocco putting his many beaded necklaces onto the vanity and placing his beaded wristbands onto his arms he turns around "Booobbbyyy, mannnn" His hand clasps my back and I wince "What's up?" I don't know. I don't know what's wrong. I shrug him off not bothering to answer, I don't even think I truly cared that it may have hurt his ego, that things big enough as it is.
