Gay Island

Day Four Tensions Rise

The sun shined through the glass into the bedroom as the blinds were drawn. They were set to wake us up between 8-9am every morning unless something different was happening. I awoke next to Hayden who was laying on his back with his feet hanging off the edge of the bed ever of slightly, the covers were also only covering half his body. He looked peaceful and more importantly, attractive. 

I decide to sit up and not wake him, I noticed a few islanders had left the room and the only other person waking up with me was Tyler. He came and sat on the edge of my bed. "How are you?" I whispered. "I've been better, I really liked Ethan, he was one of us".  "I liked him too, genuinely a nice boy". Suddenly Matt sits up and walked over to us, "Hey what's up, good nights sleep" He asks us both. "Fine yours?" Tyler asks seeming uninterested. "Yeah it was good, me and Colin had fun". "What do you mean?" I asked seeming bothered. "Was meant to just be a little spoon but a little more came from it" he smirked. "Lovely" Tyler sighed. There was a moment of silence until Tyler decided to speak again, "you know what, you clearly said that to make Jake jealous which is pretty lame. You already upset Ethan. He fancied you a lot.". "What you chatting about? I told him to his face what I thought. Why are you bringing this s**t up?" Matt said without whispering causing a stir in the room which caused Colin and Hayden to start waking up. "You had the chance to save my friend but instead you chose Colin because you thought he would be sluttier in bed!" Tyler whispered angrily. "So what I was meant to pick someone I didn't want to be with, to what? Please you? Please him? f**k off Tyler, do one!" Matt said firmly as Hayden woke and Colin came over, "hang on if he hadn't of chosen me I'd have gone home!". "I'm not saying I wanted you gone, I'm just saying me and Ethan were close" Tyler replied turning around to Colin. "Jesus guys can you chill the f**k out? It's far too early for his s**t" Hayden asked sitting himself up. "Don't even get me started on you two. I'm getting away from this s**t! Too much drama" Matt sighed as he then left the room. "Well, that was awkward" George called as he got out of bed. "You ok?" Hayden asked turning to me in bed. "I'm fine," I said not seeming overly bothered about the situation. 

I didn't lie to Hayden. I wasn't too bothered, if Matt and Colin got up to some late night fun then that's their business. We aren't a couple anymore and I have to accept that. Matt seems to be annoyed but I think he's more annoyed at himself for messing things up with me. Most likely he feels that he should have been more vocal about what he wanted. A mistake he must learn from. 

Suddenly Hayden received a text and he read it out to those in the room.

Islanders, please enjoy a peaceful morning in the villa but get ready for a couples brunch in two hours.

"Sounds fun and yummy" George cheers looking pleased. "I'll pass the message onto those not here," Colin said as he left the room. 

Everyone soon dispersed, beginning their morning and getting ready for brunch. I had a quick snack for breakfast and got changed into my swimwear doing my hair in the process. I headed into the living room to relax before brunch when I saw Matt sitting alone. "Hey, I'm glad I caught you, can we chat in private?" He asked. Just as I was about to speak some of the boys were coming past the hallway. "After brunch" Matt called to me. "Come on Jake, brunch is starting. We wanna get there first" Hayden called into the room taking my hand and leading me outside. I wondered what Matt wanted, I assumed it was regarding how I felt about Hayden. 

As everyone heads outside there are romantic tables of two set up on the grass with a long buffet table filled with food for us to eat. The tables were made of glass, shaped like a circle with a white cloth over the top and a rose sitting in a vase. The food available was impressive, from pastries, cereals and fruit juices as well as various hot food like bacon, eggs, beans and more. 

Me and Hayden pour ourselves some juice and place the glasses on a table claiming it as ours and then grabbed our food. We took the table furthest from the buffet closer to the pool for privacy. Everyone was gathered around the buffet at various sections. As I was plating my meal I overheard Colin chatting to Tyrone. 

"It was just one night" Tyrone pointed out. "I know but I just thought I would feel different. Some sort of spark at least". "Here's Jake, he will be able to assist," Tyrone said pulling my arm to bring me over. "Tell him" he continued. Colin pauses for a moment as I look at him wondering what was going on. "You and Hayden, are you.... feeling it? You know the spark?" He asked. "I think... maybe we need some more time. I think Hayden is super hot and he's very sweet. Maybe brunch will help with a connection, why do you ask?". "I guess, I don't know,  I thought I'd feel something more with Matt but maybe your right, it needs more time". I didn't want to say what I said but I felt I needed to. As much as I still have feelings for Matt I knew I had to be the bigger person. "You should give Matt some more time and not worry about it so much". Colin smiled at me and replied, "thanks, I guess I should go and sit with him". He walked off and sat down with Matt leaving me with Tyrone. I felt proud at what I had said, being the bigger person and starting to accept me and Matt were over. I know it was only one day but this villa changes your feelings. A day feels like a month because we spend all day every day with each other. 

Sam came from behind and spoke to me, "I thought that was mighty big of you, what you said to him". "What do you mean?" I asked. "It's obvious you still have feelings for Matt, people aren't stupid Jake. Even Hayden knows it deep down. Plus Matt has openly expressed his for you. Imagine how Hayden and Colin feel right now, Hayden and Matt were close but have barely said a word to each other since what happened. Hayden probably thinks he needs to compete with Matt for your attention. On the other hand, you have Colin, he wanted Matt from day one and now he has him. Yet, he knows Matt wants you. The likely reason Colin isn't feeling it with Matt is because his mind is telling him to not feel anything because he will only get hurt when Matt doesn't return the feelings" Sam explained sounding thoughtful. "Wow," Tyrone said sounding impressed. "I should get to Hayden then" I replied as I walked away to sit with him and think about what Sam had told me.

Hayden smiled at me as I giggled at him. "What?" He asked looking puzzled. "You just look too big for this little table" I chuckle. He laughs and replies, "everything too small for me". "Ok so let's get to know each other a bit more. What's your idea of a perfect date?". "Guess, let's see how much you think you know me" Hayden winked. "I would guess, maybe a casual drink at a bar?". "Close, I would enjoy that but I actually like the traditional dinner and movie date. Mainly because we can eat and chat and then I can cuddle and get intimate during the movie". I smile and reply, "I like that and I agree". "Ok my turn then, you know when people get that feeling that they are with the right person?" He says as I cut him off. "That's really weird I was just chatting to Colin about the spark". "Ok well, would you say we have it or not?". "I mean... as I said to Colin, I do like you and think your very attractive and I think there's a connection but we need a bit more time for me to know". Hayden seemed a little down or perhaps disappointed by what I said to him. Perhaps his feelings for me were stronger than the feelings I had for him? "Ok, that makes sense. I'm willing to give you whatever time you need. Are you pleased I picked you?". I smile and reply, "yes definitely, one I didn't go home which is a given. At the same time, you've given me a fresh start with someone new. Obviously, me and Matt ended badly so now I've got a chance to see what others can offer. So I guess what I'm saying is, I am looking forward to getting to know you and seeing what happens". Hayden seemed happier with what I said this time around. "Ok well that's a piece of a relief" he chuckles to himself. 

The rest of our brunch was enjoyable, I learned more about Hayden and I had a laugh here and there. The food was great and the sun was as hot as usual. "I had a good time I don't know about you?" Hayden asked. "Yeah, I thought it was great. I had fun" I smiled as the two of us stood up and gave each other a cuddle and Hayden kissed my head. He held me close and I enjoyed his embrace. 

After brunch, everyone goes off to do their own thing. I decide to pull a lounger next to the pool and lay in the sun watching Hayden swim laps as well as stopping every so often to float around on his back peacefully. An hour or so goes by when Matt kneels down to my level and quietly speaks to me. "Can we have our chat now?". I wasn't sure if I really wanted to talk to Matt right now. Hayden was floating in the pool and I felt that it would have been disrespectful for me to leave him for Matt. Even if Hayden didn't know I had gone to speak to Matt he would have known I was gone and asked me about it when I returned. I would have either had to have lied, which would have been wrong or told the truth and upset him and most likely have an argument with him. I turned to Matt and politely declined his offer, "Come on Jake, it's important". "Not now Matt, it's not a good time. Hayden is right there anyway". "I don't really give a f**k what Hayden thinks, he's the backstabber. Come on". "Honestly Matt, it's not a good time". "Guess, I'll have to chat to someone else then. Maybe Hugo" He sulked and walked off. 

I wasn't sure if Matt was going to speak to Hugo or not, a part of me felt he said that out of spite. Perhaps to get a reaction from me or as a final push to get me to speak to him. Either way, I felt that I did the right thing by Hayden. 

A little later into the afternoon and I was tanning in the sun on the day beds with Tyrone and Tyler. "Your tan is starting to show Jake, well more than me anyway," Tyler said checking my tan lines on my shorts. "This is the downside to being black, there's no tanning for me" Tyrone laughs. We chuckle and continue to lay in the sun. "How was your brunch anyway guys? Mine and Sam's was great". "Yeah I enjoyed mine, Alfie is starting to grow on me. I was a little unsure at the start but I'm warming to him" Tyler admits. "Mine with Matt was nice I guess. I like him but I don't think the feelings are there" Colin interrupts, overhearing our conversation as him and Hugo sit down on the bed next to us. "Mine with George was quite plain. He's a funny guy but it's coming across like we are more friends than lovers" Hugo explained. "What about yours with Hayden, Jake?" Colin asks. "I really enjoyed mine to be fair," I said while laying on my stomach with my eyes closed. "I'm not surprised Hayden seemed over the moon afterwards," Colin told me. 

We all laid in the sun together tanning while the tops lounged around the pool or sat in the gym. We heard a phone bleep and Colin sat up calling everyone over.

Islanders, it's time to see your true colours. Who will be clean and who will be dirty? The winner of today's challenge will get to choose someone to share some luxury ice lollies with. Make your way to the docks!

Everyone started to walk onto the beach and head for the docks discussing the treat for winning. Once we all walked over we saw an inflatable pool in the center of the docks with large buckets with the tops names on. Over to the right, we're jugs with the bottoms names on. The docks were a large rectangle area of which larger challenges would take place. It was exciting to be here, we were not allowed on the beach, apart from challenges set up and any treats given to us. This was due to the limited cameras and speaker range. Just as grouped together, I received a text and read it out to the group.

Islanders, in today's challenge the bottoms need to find their perfect top! The tops will stand in the pool and each will be coloured with particular paint. Bottoms, you will need to mix a new colour and put the new colour into your jug without using your hands. The bottom who's colour matches the closest to the colour assigned to them will win the challenge.

"Oh, I'm so excited for this challenge" Hugo smirks. "Yeah, any excuse to rub your body against the tops" Tyler sighs. "Excuse me?" Hugo snaps. "Moving on, guys, why don't you go cover yourselves in the pool," Tyrone said quickly keeping the peace. 

The bottoms lined up by there jugs as the tops covered themselves in their paint. Sam and Matt were red, Hayden and Alfie were blue and George stood alone for being the only one in yellow. The bottoms pulled off the card attached to there jug which revealed the colour they had to make, mine was purple. I felt this was planned for the show, Hayden was blue and Matt was red meaning I had to get close to both of them. If I didn't it would look awkward. If I chose Alfie over Hayden he wouldn't be pleased and if I chose Sam over Matt he wouldn't be pleased either. Plus Tyrone wouldn't either, everyone knows what he is like. 

An air horn blew from the side and the bottoms rushed towards the tops as they prepared for us. I ran and dived into Hayden who managed to catch me and lift me into the air. My legs wrapped around his waist and my hands on his shoulders. Our body's slid together, his blue paint starts to colour in my body. "Hey, I'm actually eye level to you" I laugh. Hayden chuckles and replies, "makes a change from me bending down to you". "Nice one Jake, I think Hayden's a little excited" Tyler teased and then laughs as he sits up while sitting on Alfie's waist. Hayden let me go and I brushed up against something in his shorts. I giggled cutely as Hayden blushed and adjusted himself. 

As the bottoms were finished coating themselves in the first paint colour. Everyone needed to switch to someone else. "I need blue!" Colin yelled as he got off Matt. "You need a little of this? Come get it!" Alfie called giving Colin a wink as he poured a little more blue paint on him as he laid down with his hands behind his head. Matt stands up to recoat his body as I move over to him. Matt grabs me and starts to rub my body all over his, giving a few thrusts in the process. Colin didn't look too happy with me for choosing Matt over Sam but it was either him or Tyrone that would be upset. It was a losing battle for me.

I decided to move away from Matt and give the tops something to get excited over. Maybe some of the bottoms would enjoy it too? I pulled Colin from Alfie who was also trying to make purple and started rubbing up against him. "Hell yeah baby, that's hot" George shouts as the others watch me and Colin playfully rub each other sexually. "They are easy to please" Colin laughs as he rubs my bum and feels my body. Tyrone ran over and joined in covering us with some yellow paint from George ruining our purple, it was funny, so we didn't mind. We felt each other up, touched each other's bums, pulled erotic faces and put on a miniature show for the guys. 

Once the applause was over, the bottoms started returning to our jugs. I turned around noticed Hugo rubbing himself all over Sam and rubbing his hands all over his body. "Erm, are you seeing this?" I asked Tyrone as he turned around. "Ugh, what did I say about him?" Tyler snaps seeming annoyed. "Hun, you don't need red to make green" Tyrone yelled calling him out. "Oh sorry I'm not so good with colours" Hugo replied sounding embarrassed and moving away from Sam who seemed to be a little taken with the moment. "Don't play innocent you knew what you were doing!" Tyler snapped. "Everyone knows, yellow and blue make green! You were just making a move on Sam!" I called, siding with Tyler. "It was a mistake" he replied looking down. "What a load of s**t" Tyler sighed and rolled his eyes. 

Hugo came back to his jug and continued the challenge as Tyler turned to me. "Don't think siding with me will get you off the hook for pulling the same stunt" Tyler said loudly to me. "What the hell did I do?" I gasped seeming shocked. "You got more than friendly with Matt who isn't yours anymore". "Come off it Tyler, I need red and Matt was red. It was part of the game". "Still got rather close to him considering your turning a new leaf with Hayden". "I'm not getting into this!" I sighed as I turned to my jug to get the paint off me.

As we finished up Tyrone received a text.

Tyrone, we have decided your colour was the closest to the one assigned to you. Therefore you win the challenge and the ice lollies.

Tyrone seemed very pleased as Sam ran over giving him a kiss. "Ok so back to the showers then for a wet orgy?" Matt suggested. "I'm in agreement. I would love to see the bottoms do what they did with the paint. Do you fancy getting wet and soapy and making a show for us?" Alfie said as Hayden also agreed. The bottoms all looked at each other and agreed with one another without saying a word. "no" we all replied and walked off.

Tyler grouped together with Tyrone, Colin and myself. "See what a snake Hugo is?". "Maybe it's not as bad as we think" Colin suggested. "I'm going to speak to George later and see what he thinks of it," Tyler told us. "What do you think Tyrone, he's your man?" I asked ignoring Tyler. "Don't cause a scene Tyler, I mean it! I can't be asked for the drama. At the end of the day, he might have done it on purpose but Sam is still into me so it doesn't matter" Tyrone explained. "Ugh fine. What about when Jake got up close with Matt, how do you feel about that Colin? I thought better of you Jake and your priorities to this group" Tyler told the group. "Tyler, honestly it was a game of which it was required for me to do what I did" I sighed believing this was pointless. I felt slightly betrayed by Tyler calling me out for something so minor and petty, considering how close we are. "Jake's right, we were all required to rub against someone else's partner," Colin said defending me to my surprise. He did give me a dirty look during the game but perhaps I misread his look or maybe he changed his mind on the situation? "How did you feel about the challenge Colin?" Tyrone asked. "It was ok, getting up close with Gary was nice to a point but I found getting close to Alfie was more enjoyable". Colin says and then seems to regret it after as Tyler huffs and turns to him. " I gotta keep an eye on you too?". "No, I just meant he knew what he was doing". "Look it was all a bit of fun. As I recall Jake and Colin did a little show for the tops anyway getting them all excited. Isn't that what these challenges are about? Making some memories and having some fun?" Tyrone laughed as people soon dispersed into the villa.

Later on that evening everyone had washed off their paint and was getting ready for the evening. I was in my underwear rubbing after sun on my legs with one placed on a chair. George stood at the doorway staring at my bum, "yep, that will do" he said whilst thrusting as Tyrone threw a towel at him. "No tops allowed!" He yelled as I turned around. George laughed and ran off like a schoolboy. 

Tyler was getting dressed when Colin turned to him, "I love those shorts, those rips are great. Not too big and in the right place". "they are pretty hot on you" Hugo agreed. "You'll break hearts with those" Colin winked. "Like that's not your intention" Tyler sighed and turned away from Hugo to continue getting ready. "Got something to say?" Hugo asked calling him out. "I already said it, babe". "No, not this time. You don't get to keep walking away after every comment you make towards me". "Guys chill" Colin called. "Walk away? I'm still here aren't I? I've always been open about how I feel about you. It's not like I've been two-faced" Tyler replied turning around to him. "Yeah with your childish comments. You and Jake! I'm not taking your s**t anymore!". "Guys come on. Let's just calm down" Tyrone ordered. "Have we all forgotten how he stole Matt from Jake or how he got it on with Sam?" Tyler asked. "I had to choose someone!" Hugo yelled. "Yeah, but you knew me and Matt were strong. You also knew how much I liked Matt and how much he liked me. You had other options" I told him from across the room. "I stayed true and honest to myself about who I wanted at the time, besides I'm not even with Matt anymore!". "Which makes it worse because it wasn't even worth what you did!" I snapped. "This is why we are all here! To find someone and at the time I thought my someone was Matt!". "Oh ok, we should all just forget he stabbed the group in the back! It's fine because we are all meant to find someone" Tyler said sarcastically. "Ugh, you're so pig-headed! Your sense of morals and loyalty are so messed up, it's unreal. As long as it fits into your world and your way then it's fine! You couldn't even let it rest with Jake earlier and you two are meant to be some sort of power team!" Hugo yelled. "I was showing everyone I don't favourite someone or cover things up. That shows my loyalty to this group". "This group? I'm in the same group as you! I arrived on the same day as you, just a few hours later. You've been the worst to deal with. Jake isn't exactly far behind though, not to mention how rude he was with his childish and overdramatic outburst to me!". "How dare you! You hurt me when you took Matt from me! You didn't come and speak to me and share your thoughts or feelings. No, you just slapped on a tight outfit and spoke about how much you liked Matt. You deserved exactly what you got!" I snapped moving closer to him. "It's not possible to be worst than you after everything you've done in the villa. Your villas biggest enemy right" Tyler pointed out. "Oh, so what? You two have made up then? Got over your little tiff because you both need each other to gang up on me?". "Guys can we just stop!" Tyrone shouted. "Might as well get it out in the open! Tyler clearly he thinks he's the queen of the island. Controlling his little cliques!". "How dare you!". "I bet your the same on the outside, a disgusting little diva who thinks he's above everyone else and gangs up on those he can't control". "I'm not even going to listen to these childish and pointless accusations" Tyler sighs as he walks off. "Oh there we go walking off again!" Hugo yells as he follows him.

The argument continued outside, the tops were all waiting with drinks by the pool in a group when Tyler and Hugo stormed over still arguing with me following behind with a robe around me as I was undressed. Following me was Colin, also undressed and Tyrone fully clothed like Tyler and Hugo. 

"What is going on?" George asked as the tops paused turning to the situation. "Oh you know, I'm trying to defuse a situation that Hugo is causing" Tyler snapped as he stopped by the pool and turned around to Hugo. "Are you straight-up blaming me and making me look like the bad guy? When your the one who can't go two f*****g minutes without being salty and causing drama with someone!". "I'm behind on this fight, so who are we cheering for?" Matt asked. "Don't encourage this Matt!" Tyrone snapped as he rushed over. 

"Just stay out of it Matt!" I yelled as I stood next to both the boys. "Yes, of course, everyone stay out of it because god forbid anyone who doesn't agree with Jake and Tyler" Hugo snapped at us both. "We tell it like it is!" Tyler said with a raised voice stepped closer to Hugo. "You need to get out of my face!" Hugo shouted as he shoved Tyler back from him. Tyler reacted quickly and slapped Hugo across the face making an echoing sound that hit everyone's eardrums. 

Everyone was shocked at what they witnessed and stared at the situation frozen, not knowing what to do. Hugo reacted quickly and shoved Tyler again as he fell backwards into the pool letting out a screech as he went under the water. 

Hugo ran off towards the villa from embarrassment looking as if he was going to cry. Tyler came up for air utterly raging with anger. "I'm not having this! I'm going to make you both see eye to eye! I will go sort out Hugo, Jake sort Tyler out!" Tyrone ordered as he rushed off after Hugo. I helped Tyler out the pool as Colin directed the tops away to explain to them what had been going on. 

Tyler sat on the edge of the pool dripping wet. "You ok?" I asked looking at Tyler who seemed upset. "I'm sorry for calling you out earlier, it was uncool of me. I was a bit heated from Hugo and I guess my rage took over, it wasn't that bad what you did". "It's ok, I can forgive you" I smiled as Tyler wipes his face with his hands. "Believe it or not some of what Hugo said did hurt me. I mean, I didn't feel you took my side as much as I had hoped. I thought it was more of a three-way fight but maybe because we hadn't cleared the air that's ok" Tyler explained."You had every right to go for Hugo after what he has done" I agreed with him taking his wet hand in mine. "I know it's multiple things too!". "Stealing Matt from me and overly flirting with the tops including Sam today. That's a new one added to the list". We paused for a moment until Tyler shivered, "I'll get you a towel and then we can get you out of your clothes" I said helping Tyler to his feet and walking him into the villa. 

Eventually, I left Tyler along on the roof to think alone, the evening had been ruined and everyone was doing their own thing. I came into the kitchen and saw Matt alone making himself a drink, looking somewhat unhappy. "So that was a huge outburst," he said. "Definitely," I said standing next to him. "Things between me and Colin aren't amazing. I like him and he is hot. However, at this point, you're probably the person I'm closest to in here. Even as a friend, the friendship between me and Hayden is shaky right now" Matt admitted. "Look, I can't lie. Yes there's something between us" I said being interrupted by Matt, "I knew it, I'm genuinely gutted I didn't get you at the recoupling". Matt stepped towards me and immediately pulled me in for a kiss. Our lips locked together as Matt slipped his tongue into my mouth. He held me close for a while, I rested my head on his upper chest with his arms around my waist. Once we pulled apart, we stood still looking at each other before we both moved forward kissing each other again. He moved my head to the side as he started to kiss my neck and suck on it. We herd some chatting coming from outside and we pulled away. "I guess it is a bit wrong to do this while we aren't together" Matt admitted as he leaned back on the counter. 

I didn't say a word, I just left the room thinking about what just happened. I knew there was something between me and Matt but I was genuinely enjoying my time with Hayden. Hayden was starting to creep into my heart moving Matt aside. Then Matt kisses me and now Matt has shoved Hayden aside. I felt confused about the situation, was it wrong what we did or was it good for confirming our feelings for each other? I entered the bedroom seeing Hayden relaxing on our bed in nothing but a pair of tight white boxer briefs. He looked at me and spoke, "you probably need some distracting after tonight". "Could say that" I replied as Hayden opened his arms to me and I laid my head onto his chest and moved my legs between his as he placed his hands onto my back. 

I laid there for a moment until Colin came into the room. "I hate to break this up but Tyrone is gathering all the bottoms at the fire pit Jake". I reluctantly got up leaving Hayden alone in the bedroom to join the other bottoms outside. 

Naturally, I sat next to Tyler as Hugo rolled his eyes at us. "Ok so clearly things got way out of hand tonight, I'm hoping now that we've had our fair share of things to say we can start to move on? We've all said things to hurt one another but what's done is done. Let's draw a line and move on!" Tyrone ordered as we all stayed quiet.
