Sad evenings are hopefully followed by good mornings. It's a new day and a fresh start for everyone. The two new dressing tables were removed from the dressing room, Sean now was placed at Hugo's old desk on our square. He could also move his things into Hugo's wardrobe. The bedroom has changed and the new beds were taken away.
Tyler and Sam slept in Tyler's bed next to the bathroom, I slept next to Chris in the middle and next to us was Colin and Grant by the hallway. On the other side was Tyrone and George by the bathroom, Matt and Charlie in the middle and Sean and Hayden on the end.
I started to wake and noticed Chris was still sleeping. I moved over to cuddle up to him. He stirs and starts to slowly put his arms around me as he keeps his eyes closed.
I noticed the lights were still dark as Chris leans his face forward to kiss my head. "You ok?" He mutters. "Yeah, I'm ok" I yawn. "I'm glad we stayed," He told me as he started to wake up a little. "I'm happy I'm with you. I've always fancied you ever since I saw you on day one" he continued slowly as he kiss me again on the head. "Your so sweet" I reply as I kiss his chest keeping my head on it.
Sadly peace doesn't last long in the villa, the blinds are drawn moments later and the lights switch on. People start to grumble and moan. Eventually, Colin started to pull himself out of bed as Grant leans over and wraps his arm around his waist and drags him back into the bed. "Nope" Grant calls as he throws the covers over there heads and Colin starts to giggle.
Charlie jumps out of bed in his usual bright as sunshine self. "It looks like it's going to be a scorcher today. It's the day to tan! Or should I swim? No why limit myself I'll do both" Charlie cheers and leaps forward to the bathroom as Chris rolls out of our bed. "I could do some tanning today. I need to catch up with everyone else". "Oh Chris, your so lovely! How funny that we got out of bed almost the same time! Same wavelength about tanning too" Charlie smiled coming across like he was flirting. "I honestly don't know what goes on inside the empty space between your ears?" I frowned looking at Charlie. "Neither do I" Tyler called, George agreed after. "Ok fine everyone is up and awake but I thought Chris was going to say something" Charlie replied looking cutely at Chris. "Yes, Jake want to swim with me to today?". "I am not a morning person. Your swimming alone" I replied as I laid down in bed. "Yes, I'm with Jake, shut up Charlie" Matt called as he rolled over. "It's ok, I'll swim with you Chris," Charlie said cutely. "I'll make the hot drinks this morning" Sam calls as Tyrone follows him. "I'll help!".
"I don't mind making some pancakes for us this morning," George tells the room, then leaves to go downstairs in his underwear. " I honestly love you for making food" Hayden calls as George winks at him.
Eventually, I rolled myself out of bed and bump into Matt. He stares at me and gives me a wink. It had occurred to me that I never had an official chat with Matt, he wanted to speak to me but the two of us never followed it up. Perhaps it would be a good idea to do this today now that the mood was calmer. I smile at him and walked to the dressing room to get changed. "I miss Hugo, he always knew how to pose in a mirror" Charlie sighed as he looked at himself in a mirror. "The boy knew how to dress too" Colin commented. "I didn't really warm to him that much. Maybe it was because I was coupled with Hayden" Sean told us. "Think he was into him?" Charlie asked. "Maybe, I did catch him looking a few times". "No, you have Hugo all wrong. He isn't like that, Hugo only ever wanted something real. If he was looking at Hayden it may have been because out of each guy he has been with Hayden probably came the closest to being the realist guy. To be honest Hugo was starting to get a little down that he hadn't found the one yet. After two and a half weeks you can't blame him. He might be a little happier on the inside now he is out" Colin explained. "Hey, the boy is stunning. Tops will be lining up for him on the outside" Tyler replied. "He got what he deserved" Tyrone snapped. Everyone paused, falling silent. "Excuse me?" I replied looking shocked. "That's rude!" Colin snapped. "Have you forgotten what he did! He was trying to steal Sam away from me! I'm not going to be sad for him departing". "Maybe it wasn't Hugo's finest moment but he was a great guy. I think I have the right to say that considering he took Matt from me. Yet I've become close to him" I told Tyrone firmly. "You and Matt aren't together and your nothing like me and Sam!". "Well there is no you and Sam because you're not together either!" I raised my voice seeming snarky. "I was hardly his biggest fan at the start and I also bonded with him. He is an original like us" Tyler interrupted. "No he's not! The only originals in this room are me, you, Colin and Jake!" Tyrone snapped. "Why are you being so rude and childish!" I snapped. "I'm just saying it how it is. He's gone get over it. I certainly have" he snapped. he got up walking out the room. "Maybe you should have gone instead!" I yelled but Tyrone ignored me.
I shook my head as Colin and Tyler shrugged continuing to get ready. Charlie and Sean looked a little awkward but also carried on.
"Anyway he might not be sad about Hugo leaving but I know he's happy to stay and have a chance with Sam. The guy I wanted to be with wasn't an option so it was the next best thing to it" Tyler told us. "Same" Charlie said as Tyler and the rest of us turned to him in shock as he covered his mouth blushing. "I said that out loud didn't I?". "You don't want to be with Matt," Tyler asked. "Look Matt is great but maybe I have my eye on someone else" he admitted. "Ok is anyone with the person they want to be with?" Tyler asked the group. Everyone stays silent as Tyrone comes back into the room.
"Ok, I was a little harsh. I'm not exactly sad he left but I will give him credit for one thing. He had style and I did always admire that about him". "Come here!" Tyler called as he pulled Tyrone in for a hug, waving for everyone else to join in a group hug.
I walked downstairs and George provided me with a pancake on a plate. "My very sexy Jake. What would you like on it?" He asked winking at me. "You charmer George! I will have chocolate and banana please". "Have you not had enough bananas in here?" He says cheekily as he prepares my toppings. "Never enough George". "I'm always willing to help you out if Chris doesn't mind. Or Matt" George replies whispering the last part of his sentence to me. I smile, then walk to eat my food on the patio with the others.
After breakfast, everyone starts to do their own thing. I decided to join Grant, Hayden and Matt in the gym. Hayden was training Matt on weights as Grant watches them both. Matt finishes up and Hayden pats him on the back looking pleased as Grant takes his turn. "I'm not interrupting am I?" I smile cutely coming over to them. "Never" Matt smiled at me as he came a little closer. "How are we all?". "I'm good today, I didn't go home so that's a positive" Matt told me. "Your arms are getting bigger too. You've been in here a lot since we were together" I winked. "What can I say" Matt replied clearly loving the attention. "What's going on with you two?" Grant asked seeming confused. "I can't pay a good looking guy a compliment?". "I thought you were happy with Charlie, Matt?". "He will do for the moment. Good looking boy, well-groomed all over" he says as I give him a blunt look. "So I've been told" he replied, backing out of an argument. I roll my eyes knowing he has seen Charlie naked or at at least felt his smooth bum at some point. I couldn't be angry, he technically isn't with me, he can have a little fun until he likely returns to me.
I soon left the guys to work out without having a private moment with Matt. He seemed busy. I decided to join Chris, Charlie and Sean by the pool. The three were bobbing up and down in the water chatting as I sat on the edge. "I'm going to get some water, does anyone want anything?" Chris asks as he starts pulling himself out the water. Nobody wanted anything and Chris said he'd be back soon. "While he's gone can we quickly chat about what we were speaking about in the dressing room?" Charlie asks quickly. "What about? The couple situation?" I asked. He nodded and I spoke again. "I spoke to the guys in the gym. I didn't have the heart to tell them about our chat". "Why not? They may have felt the same. I like Matt but I have my eye on someone else. It doesn't matter who but all the bottoms seem to want someone else. Tyler, Tyrone, me, let's face it you too Jake, I'm fairly sure Colin has got his eye somewhere else. Sean, you might be the only happy bottom, unless you are looking elsewhere?" Charlie explains. "I like Hayden" Sean smiles cutely. "Is it true Jake? Are you looking for someone else?" Sean continued. "I like Chris, he's amazing and he's such a great guy. However, I can't help that all I want is Matt". Charlie seems a little shocked, most likely because Charlie wasn't overly bright, he most likely forgot I have a history with Matt and that I was just eyeing up his man.
I noticed Matt coming out of the gym and heading inside the villa. I decided to leave the boys and see if I could grab him alone for a moment and have our long overdue chat. I caught up with him in the living room. "Hey" I smiled shutting the patio door behind me. He turned around and smiled at me, "Come on admit it". "Admit what?" I asked looking puzzled. "You want to be with me don't you?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes, "Hang on... like you don't want to be with me". "Come on" he replied as he walked with me onto the roof for a private chat.
Matt sat on the bench and put his arms on the sides welcoming me to sit with him. "I'm not going to lie, you've been a little distant from me since we broke up. When I saw you coupled with Chris, I was annoyed. I know I shouldn't have but I felt you cheated on me even though we wasn't together. We've been a little distant as I said so I was starting to wonder if you had moved on from me" Matt explained. "I understand how you feel. It hurt me, what Corey did. If we stayed together like we should have, I wouldn't have gone near Chris or anyone else. On the other hand, you've been getting on with Charlie a little more?". "Part of the reason for that was because I felt you might have started to move on, so I felt that I should too. He's not you though, he's completely my type on paper but he's so ditsy it's very annoying" Matt told me. "Regardless of Charlie, I don't want you to just pick me at the next recoupling because it's easy or anything?". "Let's be serious Jake you've been all but easy at recoupling events but I still think about us" he explained. "True and I feel the same. I see you and I just know I want to be with you. Chris is great, apart of me is glad he's here because he's so nice but he's not you". "For now I think we should take things slow, until a recoupling. I think it will cause drama if we start flirting in front of everyone. It's going to piss off Chris and Charlie. Then arguments will start and you know I don't do drama" Matt told me firmly. "I don't want drama either. There's no harm in us being a couple in private until we are officially back together. I'm sure Sam and Tyrone are doing that" I replied. Matt leaned forward, I followed to plant a kiss on his lips. Our lips locked together as I placed my hand on his face touching his cheek as I kissed him.
Our kissing ended by a noise coming from Matt's phone. "We better get everyone up here," he told me as he looked at his phone and shouted from the roof for everyone to come upstairs.
Islanders, how well do you know your partner? You'll find out in today's challenge. Please sit around the fire pit and prepare for a game of Mr and Mr.
"Well me and Colin have got this in the bag" Grant smirked as he put his arm around Colin. "You've been a couple for all of five minutes" Charlie replied seeming puzzled. "So has everyone else to be fair" Tyler laughed.
Everyone started heading downstairs, islanders started gearing one another up. Matt was boasting about him and Charlie winning, George was saying him and Tyrone were the winners already and Grant was having none of it. Chris laughed along seeming chirpy for the challenge.
Everyone sat around the fire pit, the tops on one side of the circle and the bottoms on the other. Colin sat nearest to the pile of questions provided. "Tops, tell us what your partner as a child wanted to be when they grew up?". The tops began scribbling on their whiteboard as did the bottoms and one by one were asked to reveal their answers. "Chris you're up first" Colin called. "I honestly had no idea so I said a doctor? That's like a typical one" He called seeming disappointed in himself. "Oh Jake wanted to be a model" Matt replied as I revealed my board to show, as a child I wanted to be a runway fashion model. Matt smirked feeling as if he had scored a point over Chris. Chris looked a little deflated and embarrassed. "It's ok, we are warming up" I smiled. "Matt you go next" Colin calls. "Well knowing Charlie and how overly happy he is. He probably wanted to be a unicorn or something" Matt announced as Hayden and George laughed. "No! I wanted to be a Jockey". "You achieved it then! Well done" I laugh patting him on the back as the others clap at my joke. The game carries on until Colin reads out the next question.
"Bottoms, where did your partner have his first kiss?". I had no idea when or where Chris first kissed a guy or a girl. He is really intelligent so I thought maybe it was in an extra lesson after school. However, it turns out I was incorrect as was Charlie for Matts. "Matt had his in sixth form when he got his first girlfriend" I winked. "Unfortunately that is correct. I was a straight-A student". He sighed. "No way! You? A nerd?" Tyler laughed. "Yes I was, then I left sixth form and became the jock I am today".
The next question was, "Tops, what was the name of your partners first pet". "I know this!" Chris cheered as he stared at Matt who rolled his eyes, "easy mate, he's your partner. You should know". "Since your so keen, you can go first Chris" Colin called. "Velma the tortoise". "That's correct" I laugh. "Velma?" George asked. "From Scooby-Doo. I had a boy not long after called Scrappy" I laugh.
I was pleased that Chris got his question right but now it was my turn to please him. "Bottoms, if your partner could only eat one food what would it be?" Colin asked. Again I was uncertain, I took a guess by saying fish and chips but I was sadly incorrect.
The game carries on for another few more rounds until both the top and the bottom had answered five questions for one another. Once completed Colin counted the scores. "The winners with an impressive nine out of ten is Hayden and Sean!" Colin cheered. Everyone clapped for them just as Hayden received a text.
Hayden and Sean, you have won the challenge! You can find your prize in the kitchen, hopefully it will help cool down your burning love for one another.
"Let's go see what it is!" Sean cheered excitingly, then rushed off. "Sharing is caring guys!" George yelled as he too rushed over to the kitchen.
I wandered off after the challenge to relax on the daybeds and continue soaking up the sun for my growing tan. I pleased myself for the rest of the afternoon, drinking some fruit juice and covering all my body in the sun.
As the sun started to set I strolled upstairs to shower and get ready with the other bottoms. I had one leg on my dressing table stool, rubbing lotions on my leg when Sean burst into the room, "Everyone! The guys are arguing downstairs".
Everyone immediately hurried downstairs. "I SAID BACK OFF!" Hayden shouted as he shoved Grant and Matt away from one another. "What the hell is going on?" I yelled looking shocked as the other bottoms gathered around. "Bring it, Matt, I'll have you easy!" Grant yelled looking angry as Matt headed straight for him to be shoved away by Hayden. "Grant shut the f**k up!" Hayden yelled looking angry at him. "Guys seriously! What's wrong!" Colin panicked with a raised voice. "Ask him, I won't let this d**k make accusations about me!" Grant yelled. "What have you done?" Tyler asked looking shocked. "I went to make myself a drink when somebody put the milk back in the fridge laying down on a shelf and not in the door standing up. As I opened the door the milk fell on me and burst open. Then I find, this d**k is laughing behind me". "Since when has it been a crime to laugh?". "It was you, I've seen you do it before! And I bet it's you who's been fingering the fruit!". "I'm sorry doing what now?" Tyler asked looking shocked. "Yeah, I've noticed that too. Someone has been leaving dirty fingerprints on the fruit from poking and fingering them so hard" Hayden explained. "In Grant's defence, I think that was an issue before he got here" Tyrone pointed out. Hayden stares at Colin, "if you have something to say Hayden say it!" Colin snapped. "You do spend a lot of time choosing fruit". "I also want to know who left crisps in the pool" I sighed. "That was one time and I dropped the bowl in the pool by accident" Chris confessed. "The real question who's is like losing their hair and leaving it down the shower drain" he continued and stared at Charlie. "Don't look at me" He snapped. "Well it's someone with blonde hair and there aren't many blondes in this villa". "Tyler is blonde too!". "Don't pin this on me, Mr Hair Spray Thief!" Tyler said with a raised voice. I gasped, "That was you, Charlie? I nearly died the other day because of a hair spray shortage" I yelled. "I only borrowed it, I gave it back". "You didn't ask! And it reappeared on my table the following morning! I had to borrow Hugo's that night" Tyler told him firmly.
Suddenly, George screams in a high pitched tone like a girl and whacks his flip flop on the patio door to make the room silent. "What is wrong with all of you? We were having a nice day and now your all bickering over pointless things? There is a way to solve everyone's problems. Judge George is in session! It's like Judge Judy but better looking". "I call being the sexy secretary that brings evidence to the room" Colin calls. "I call being jury. I'm gonna throw you all in the slammer!" I cheer. "Jake you couldn't even push me into our bed until you took a run up and charged at me. Even then I just fell down cause I wanted to f**k you" Matt laughed. "Decent mate" Hayden laughed as the two shared a fist pump. I rolled my eyes and replied, "I can confirm, I may not have succeeded but neither did he". Colin laughed and gave me a high five. "Everyone by the fire pit! Court is in session!" George yelled as everyone started to head over to the fire pit.
George disappears for a moment and rejoins us wearing a black towel around his shoulders and a white one tied around his head. "What on earth, are you wearing?" Tyler sighed. "It was as close as I could get to a judge". "Oh my god, I've just realised that's my towel and you've put a safety pin through it!" Tyler panicked. "It's a towel, who cares?". "It's an expensive towel!".
"Order in my courtroom" George yells as he whacks his flip flop on the outdoor table. "First item on the agenda is the fruit bruising" George says firmly and smiles after. "That's my case, I'll be taking this. I am accusing Colin" Hayden says as he stood up. "Who will be defending Colin?". "I will" Sean replied. "I call, jury!" I yell. "Certainly Jake, pretty boys get the front row" he winked at me. "Thank you Judge George" I giggled and grabbed a nearby lounger and placed it next to him.
"Basically, someone in the villa has been going around squeezing the fruit for its ripeness. They are doing it so hard, it's leaving bruises and fingerprints over the fruit. This causes others to not want the fruit and it's very dirty and unhygienic. All signs point to Colin". "Interesting ok, Security Guard Grant. Please pull Colin's underwear down and slap his behind ten times" George giggled. "What is this? Some sort of s*x courthouse?" Tyler sighed. "That's also not how this works" Sean pointed out. "Fine give your side of the story" George sighed. "This is a simply a witch hunt your honour. Colin is only the first of many to be accused". "I've seen him doing it before" Hayden argued. "Please, Tyler you like fruit right?" Sean says turning to him. "Don't point the finger at me. Judge, he's badgering me" Tyler whines. "What about you Matt. Do you like to try before you buy?" Sean winked. "What lad doesn't? But whilst in the villa that was more Tom's thing," he laughs. "Besides Chris eats a lot of fruit" he continued. "So everyone seems guilty, this trial is a sham" I sigh. "Jury your decision?" George asks. "The Jury finds Colin and all the islanders guilty! Minus me, I only eat the mango's and cherries both of which are kept in the fridge" I smile. "Maybe everyone could not squeeze it so hard that would be great!" Hayden sighed. "Judge George, decides that Hayden can be The Chief of Fruit Ripeness. He may check in the morning and let us all know what is good and what needs a little longer" George smiles. "Yeah, only I can finger the fruit" Hayden laughs.
"The second case is the hair in the drain". "That's me!" Charlie cheers and runs to the centre. "Basically, we all have hair it could be anyone" he smiled. "No, I said it was blonde hair. That only narrows it down to you, Tyler and Matt who is more of a strawberry blonde. Matt has short hair, Tyler has an almost shaved head which means that the only one remaining who also has medium length hair is you" Chris explained. "Hmm, interesting argument," I say, posing with a thinking face. "I think the suds from the shower made the hair look blonder than it was. I believe it was one of the tops" Charlie announced. "I mean it could be everyone's hair to be fair? Perhaps when Chris checked that one time it was blonde streaks" George suggested. "That's probably true" Tyler commented. "Judge George decides that whenever someone has to remove hair from the drain before using it, everyone else must do a shot a Tabasco sauce. Therefore everyone must check the drain before leaving the shower and remove any hair you see!" George says firmly.
"Third case, the mystery jockstrap" he says checking his phone for the list of cases. "I'll grab the evidence" Tyler yells as he runs inside the villa and comes running back shortly. He then holds up a red jockstrap to the courtroom. "Oh, that's gorgeous " Colin commented. "To be fair, whoever's they are. I wouldn't mind seeing them in it" George laughed. I giggled realising it was mine but I stayed quiet. "Well whoever's they are, I found them under my bed. I also hope the person didn't have s*x on my bed. Even though I know the likely hood is, someone got f****d on my bed!" Tyler sighed. "That's brilliant whoever did that" Hayden laughed as the other tops chuckled. "It's not funny!" Tyler snapped. He then looked to me and pointed his finger in my direction. "Babe your bed is next to mine. Clearly, this belongs to you". "I would like a lawyer your honour" I ask politely fluttering my eyes at George. "I'll defend Jake" Colin calls as he gets up from his seat. "Thanks babe" I cheer. He comes over and whispers into my ear, "they are yours right?". "Yes," I said and giggled slightly. "May I have a closer look Tyler" Colin asks politely. He holds the under up to the light, "Yes these are very good quality" Collin smiles. "Everyone knows Jake has a great eye for fashion. After me, Jake is the most forward bottom who was also coupled with the most forward top, Matt. Something here tells me neither one would care about having s*x in someone else's bed". "Well I think these are Tyler's and he's just trying to pin this on Jake" Colin defended. "Jake are they yours or not?" George asked. "Fine I'm guilty" I laugh. "Don't confess. What's the point of a lawyer if you do?" Colin asked. "To be honest, I don't know how they got under your bed. I haven't had s*x on it, I swear". "Please, Matt definitely bent you over my bed" Tyler sighed. "Can I not have that image in my head please" Chris snapped. "Or mine" Charlie sighed. "Ok Judge George is tired, it's time for this to be over. Oh, and by the way, Matt, it was me with the milk" George told us, then he ran off as quickly as he could. "That little s**t!" Matt laughed and rushed off to chase him.
The pretend game of Judge George seemed to boost everyone's spirits and everyone headed inside to get ready for bed. Luckily I already was, I never finished getting ready in the first place, I sat outside in my underwear and a light robe.
Tonight everyone should sleep peacefully having got a few things off their chests.
