Day 5: Shake it up

Georgia's POV:
I woke up far too early but knew I wouldn't get back to sleep so I decided to get out of bed leaving Bobby curled up. He's adorable. I head to the kitchen and make myself a hot chocolate and then head to the terrace I sit on the bench looking up at the sky lost in my own thoughts. Bobby drifts into them frequently and I begin to think about him more. He's perfect, gorgeous and he's like my best friend, but does that mean something bad is going to happen? He can't be this perfect always surely? Urgh. Wish Lottie was awake she could do tea leaves for me. I've fallen for Bobby, I haven't even thought about any other option I can't tear myself away. All I want to do is be with Bobby. My thoughts are stopped when I hear two unrecognisable male voices and a splash of the pool I look over the edge of the terrace and spot not one but two new guys. Great! Drammmaaaaa. I head back inside to wake up everyone to tell them the news "Morningggg!" I shout as loud as I can and grunts and groans sound out and then a pillow is thrown at me "Oof!" Bobby sits upright in the bed and looks to where I should be and his face changes as he panics. So I walk over to the bed and sit back down "Hey." He looks at me "Lass! There you are! I panicked I- you weren't next to me." I shake my head "No I woke up too early and decided to get some fresh air but now there's two new guys outside and.." He moves closer to me and kisses my forehead "Let's wake them together!" He takes hold of my hand and shouts "GET UP YOU LAZY SACKS OF POTATOES!" The loudest I've heard him be and everyone stirs "There's two new guys outside." The girls rush to get out and check the new boys out Hope out in front. I thought she was set on Noah. Huh. The boys follow suit and me and Bobby follow after.

Me and Georgia head to meet the new guys together, when we get out there the rest of the group our huddled around two different guys. As we reach the circle they introduce themselves "I'm Lucas, a physiotherapist." He speaks poshly, as his eyes gaze over the group scrutinising not only the girls but the guys too. Snob. The second guy is more rugged with long blonde locks and pale skin "I'm Henrik and I'm a climbing instructor." Oh. I look at Georgia worried about what she thinks of the two new guys she looks at me "Bleh." I laugh as the girls begin to ask rapid questions to the guys and Henrik squirms "Wow, you girls are a handful!" Lucas smirks as he checks out each of the girls and Gary decides "Lets go to the firepit!" And I pipe up "You boys are in for a right grilling! Get it? Because your heading to the firepit...where they grill stuff?" Lucas looks at me "Jokes are always funniest when they need explaining." He pats me on the back "Have a cookie." I frown and I notice Georgia's displeased look at least were both on the same page with that guy I walk behind Henrik "Come on Thor junior." We all head to the firepit and I pat the space next to me "Babe, sit next to me?" Lucas and Henrik watch Georgia carefully as she sits herself down and I wrap my arm around her she seems to notice the new guys looking and kisses my cheek. Gary clasps hold of Henrik's knee like they have been pals for years, as he asks the boys some questions. Then I think it's time to ask a good question "So lads, what's your numbers?" Priya laughs "Forward?" I look at her "I'm sure people want to know." I shrug Henrik goes first as he says "0...7...5" Marisol asks "So which one is it?" Henrik looks confused as Priya asks "Were you giving us your number?" He nods "That's what you asked for..." Lucas smirks "They meant sexual partners." And Henrik face falls "Of course I knew that! I was just joking!" He laughs "You said it so seriously I think we missed the sarcasm." The group nods his face falls again and he looks to the floor "Sarcasms hard." He shakes his head "Anyway 11" the group nods and we turn to Lucas who seems uncomfortable "I think this is a little vulgar..." Georgia smiles but it's not genuine "You don't have to say if your uncomfortable with it." He smiles at her, "Thankyou, Georgia." She shuffles back in and snorts. I hold back a chuckle. He soon answers "My magic number is 7." Oh okay. "I don't bed just anything with a pulse." He looks pointedly at Gary who looks to me "Okay, mate too far. He's a changed lad now." The girls look confused "Oh all us lads had a chat about this on the first day...Gary's got some serious numbers. But he's different now." Gary looks at me gratefully and Georgia whispers "I-what about you?" I look at her "I'll tell you later." She seems to find that suitable. Then Noah speaks up "So...who have you guys got your eye on?" Ooo. Henrik starts first "Well I got to say probably Lottie she seems quite fiery, and I would like to get to know her better." She tries to hide her smile but fails. Lucas then says "Well, my type is never a rigid format...but I have to say I have got my eye on Georgia." He smirks and it feels like a blow to the chest for me. Competition...no Thankyou. Georgia looks at him shocked "Oh uhm...great." She smiles weakly whilst squeezing my knee. Or no competition then. The conversation over I take Georgia by the hand and lead her over to the daybed we sit down close together as we always do and she asks "What do you think of the new guys?" I turn to her "Think Henrik could be a bit of fun to have around...Lucas...gah I'm just going to say it!" I throw my hands in the air "Snob!" She laughs and pats my arm "Great minds think alike." I turn to her "Wait- you don't like him?" She shakes her head "No not at all, he needs to get his head out of his own ass." We laugh together this time, "So- so your not interested in him even though he said he was interested in you." She shakes her head "Nope, my head shall not be turned by him one inch." I smirk "Great news." She kisses me on the cheek and whispers into my ear "He has the personality of a shrimp." She snorts as she moves away and I laugh "Couldn't have put it better myself." She smiles "Henrik could be funny though, feel like you could easily trick him into doing something...he's so gullible bless him." I nod "It's that mountain air...it's gotten to him." She laughs "True." It goes silent for a bit as neither of us talk until I break the silence "Have you ever been in love?" She looks at me "Uhm...I think I came close to it once, but no I don't think I really ever have been in love. What about you?" I sigh "I - I thought I was, but now thinking back on it. I don't think it was even close. I thought the world of her and I thought she felt the same...but it didn't feel like how everyone explained it to be. I was always told...that I would know when I found love...and I guess I just haven't yet." She nods "Well, it's Love Island so maybe something will change for the both of us." She takes my hand and I look at her.

It already has.

She looks up at me and turns to the side so she faces me properly "So what is your number?" I shuffle slightly, I'm not proud of my number not one bit. I rub my neck and I know she knows I only do that when I'm nervous. She takes my hand "I'm not going to judge you." And I breathe out "26...I know it's bad, I'm not proud of it." She smiles and a wave of relief crashes over me "Hey, I get it, you told me you struggled to find someone to like you, so I get why that's your number." I nod, "One night stands, most of them. It was the only way I felt wanted." Her smile saddens "Well, you are wanted, and if nobody could see that then they are unlucky because they missed out on getting to know your properly." I don't know what to say. "Thankyou, for understanding me." She smiles "It's pretty easy, once you break down your walls...my number is 5." I turn to her "Oh cool." She smiles "Really?" I nod "Yeah, it's a small number and your 24 so when you think about it from the age of 16 till now you have only slept with 5 people in 9 years." She nods "I guess, I've never had a one night stand." I smile "Now that's something you can be proud of!" Her smile widens "Thankyou." She leans over to kiss me and I gently rub my hand across her face as her thumb rubs over my freckles I feel her smile on my lips. We pull away "I often forget the cameras around here." Her eyes widen "I did forget the cameras!" I laugh "To think my family have seen me growl...and my stauners. Oh gods!" My face goes pink and I turn away suddenly very awkward. She laughs "Imagine what Hope and Noah's parents are thinking! That's got to be worse!" I laugh "Y'know your not wrong..." She smile as she leans back in for another kiss. This time her hand connects with my neck as mine connects with hers, the kiss deepens and we pull away breathless after a short time, she smiles "Hope you feel wanted now." I smile "I do...yes." Her smile broadens "Good." She winks cheekily and I laugh "Cheeky!" This time her laugh rings out "Not as cheeky as you...grabbing my ass." I chuckle "Excuse me? You were asking for it!" She snorts "I know, I know - I'm just messing with you Bobs." We stay idly chatting on the daybeds when Georgia gets a text "Oh! Text! Guys!" She reads it out "Georgia, Henrik has decided to take you on a date please get ready to leave the Villa #shakeitup #pickme" She looks at me and I take her hand "Hey, it's one date and anyway I'll be here waiting to hear about it when you get back." She smiles "Thankyou, Bobs." The girls race over and Lottie and Hope grab Georgia's arms "Let's get you ready girl!" She laughs as she's dragged away from me. I get up and head to the kitchen hoping to catch a glimpse of her before she leaves, I'm just filling my water bottle up when I hear heels click on the wood, I look up and nearly fall backwards "Jeez!" She smiles "I wanted to come and say goodbye, and to reassure you my head isn't going to be turned." She walks towards me and I feel the heat creep to my face. Say something Bobs. "You look absolutely breathtaking, quite literally, I can't breathe." I hold my chest as she looks into my eyes "Please breathe...I need you here." I smile "You ain't getting rid of me that easily." She reaches up and we kiss. The best one yet. She turns round to head out and waves "I'll tell you everything." And I nod "Wouldn't expect anything less from you Lass."
