Gay Island

Day Three Added Drama

I woke up very early this morning. I didn't sleep particularly well, maybe it had something to do with my day or maybe it was just sleeping outside. Either way, when I woke up Tyler was nowhere to be found. I assumed he went back to bed with Alfie, perhaps he wasn't sleeping well either.

I could smell bacon coming from the villa and knew someone was making breakfast. I decided to quickly get changed into my swimwear for the day by heading through the living room patio door to then rush downstairs into the kitchen. As I did I saw Ethan and Colin making breakfast. I could see both boys busy making separate dishes. Colin was making hot breakfast with eggs and bacon and Ethan was making a continental breakfast by using avocado. I wandered over to Ethan, "well well well, isn't George a lucky man" I giggle. Ethan smiles at me and then seems suddenly nervous. "Oh... Well... Actually, this is not for George" he says hesitating and seeming lost for words. I give him a puzzled look and he finally speaks, "The food is for... Well... Matt". My eyes widen with shock as Colin turns around smiling, "Hey mine too" he giggles. "Hang on? Your cooking for Matt as well?" Ethan asked looking puzzled. "Well, now I don't know what to do. I thought this might have been my chance to win him over".

There was a moment of silence and I burst out with, "Hello! He's my ex! Literally last night! Around twelve hours ago! Did you both fancy him that much this whole time?". "I'm sorry Jake. When I was at the line-up, I have to admit, Matt would have been my first choice. Yes I got George instead and he's great but we have already discussed privately that we are no more than friends. Then Hugo came along and stole Matt so I thought it's very fresh with them. I also thought maybe you would move onto someone else. Then that would make me moving onto Matt, not such a high-risk move" Ethan explained. 

I paused for a moment thinking about Ethan's well-explained plan. "I know it's not a perfect plan it has flaws but it's not bad is it?" He asks. I thought to myself about Ethan's plan. Admittedly I was slightly annoyed that he was moving on Matt without speaking to me first. As my friend, I would have liked him to have sat me down and asked me. After all, I had no idea he was even interested in Matt. On the other hand, I could tell, while coming up with his plan he thought about my feelings and seemed to not want to hurt me. "Can't you give yours to someone else Colin?" Ethan asked. "Everyone is fair game at this stage hun" he replied. 

Colin was always into Matt, he made it clear on day one he wanted him. Therefore the shock was much less than with Ethan. I was still annoyed at him but I didn't feel back stabbed. I should have known Colin would have used yesterday's drama to pray on Matt. The two started to bicker and I suddenly decided that this game could have three players instead of two. 

I left the room leaving them both to bicker and I wandered upstairs looking for Matt. To my luck, Matt was laying in bed alone. Adding to my luck, he was the only one in the room. He smiled at me, "Alright?". "Where is everyone?". "All the guys are down in the gym. I'm not sure where Tyler, Colin and Ethan are but Tyrone is on the roof terrace" he explained. "Well then," I say as I climb into Hugo and Matt's bed and snuggle up close to Matt. 

He smirks and lets out a small chuckle and puts his arm around me, "guess you don't waste time. What brings you to my bed?". "The boys are arguing over you, so I thought I'd show them that they are both losers and I'm the winner". He smiles, "Which boys?". "Colin and Ethan". "To be honest I hate all this drama. I can't stand being involved with arguments or drama in general. Ethan's pretty bad for it, well him and Tyler anyway". 

Suddenly Colin and Ethan rush into the room almost dropping their plates in the process. "Oh my god, as if you got into bed with him!" Ethan gasped looking unhappy with me. Colin chuckles, "Ok fine! I will admit, well played Jake". "What's going on?" Matt asked. "I made you breakfast!" Ethan pounces at Matt. "Actually WE, made you breakfast" Colin replied in a calmer tone emphasising the word we clearer in his sentence. "Wow, I'm spoilt for choice," Matt says as he turns to me. "Which one do you want?". "I don't like avocados so I'll have yours, Colin. Thanks mate" I say taking his food from him. Colin rolls his eyes and Matt takes the plate from Ethan. "Not really my thing avocados," he says as he takes a bite anyway. Ethan looks shocked and speaks, "well I hope your happy Jake. You've ruined everything!". He storms out the room and Colin watches him, then turns back to us. "Well you two look cosy, room for one more in the bed," he says winking at us. 

Matt's face lights up, clearly thinking that is the best idea since sliced bread. He turns to me and sees my very blunt and plain face. I didn't say a word and Colin chuckles, "don't worry Jake, I'd say you earned this one. I best go make another breakfast for Hayden or he will get jealous. Bye" he says cutely and leaves the room. 

"Yeah Ethan's breakfast is s**t," he says tossing the plate to the end of the bed. Matt then stole Colin's hot breakfast from me and placed it on his lap. "Hey!" I whined. "It was made for me. It's my food" he told me as he has begun eating. I pout as Matt chuckles but not for long as we soon hear everyone chatting. I looked out the window and saw half the group was leaving the gym. "I guess we better get out of bed before this causes drama," Matt says as he hops out of bed still eating some of the food. 

I decided to go downstairs and go outside to start tanning in the morning sun. Just before doing so I noticed Tyrone and Sam laying on the daybeds. Normally I'd ignore them and leave them alone but I noticed Tyrone painting Sams toes. I walked over and spoke, "clearly your whipped Sam if your letting Tyrone do that to you". Both seemed unhappy with my comment but Sam was the first to speak. "Actually I'm comfortable enough with my masculinity that I don't mind Tyrone painting them clear to make them look nicer". "That's cute babe," Tyrone says kissing his knee. 

I gave a puzzled look as Alfie comes over wearing a tight Speedo and puts one leg up on the bed giving me a view I will never un-see. "Hello everyone," he says looking serious as Tyrone bursts out laughing as I turn away in horror seeing his bulge in my face. "Hun, trust me when I say. The only top in this villa that can pull off a Speedo is Hayden, maybe Sam on a good day. You, definitely not" I say looking away as I speak to him. Alfie chuckles and replies, "I only came over because Tyler wants you, he's by the patio on a lounger". 

I get up and Alfie escorts me over to Tyler. "Why are you letting him wear that?" I ask as I approach him. "He thought it was funny" he sighed. "Fine I'll go change" Alfie chuckles and walks inside. "How are you anyway?" Tyler asks as I sit on his lounger near his feet. "Yeah better than I thought I would be today. Maybe this is a fresh start I don't know. Perhaps some newbies will join and spice things up". "I'm kind of waiting on new tops myself at this point. I wouldn't mind some fresh meat on the market" Tyler agreed. "Look what I found, Tyler's jockstraps!" Alfie laughs waving Tyler's underwear out the bedroom window. "Oh my god!" Tyler screeches getting up and running inside to most likely murder Alfie. 

I laugh and wonder off and finding myself at the gym witnessing Hayden lift some heavy-looking weights and clearly ignoring Colin who is standing near to him. "All I'm saying is it's totally reasonable to be grafting on other guys at this stage of the game. I'm fine with you flirting with other bottoms" he sighs. Colin glances at me and speaks again, "Look here's a bottom now, go for it, flash him your d**k for all I care". "What's going on guys?" I asked looking puzzled. Hayden sets his weights down and turns to me. "You don't want to get involved trust me". Colin huffs loudly and turns to me, "maybe you can talk some sense into Hayden. We are meant to be having a serious conversation!". "No your trying to have a serious conversation,! All I want to do is work out!" Hayden snapped. "Ugh see what I mean?". "Fine, I'll tell Jake. Colin is trying to explain why he thinks it's a good thing that he was trying it on with Matt this morning and that I have no grounds to be upset. He thinks that I should be flirting with the other bottoms which is a shitty excuse so that he can feel better about himself and not so guilty about what he did!". "That's not true!" Colin yelled sounding annoyed. "It's not about guilt it's about reality!". Hayden shakes his head and lays back down continuing his work out and ignoring Colin. "Clearly Hayden doesn't care about our relationship". "To be honest Colin, it sounds like your covering up your guilt. You only want Hayden to flirt with a bottom so that your even. If your even it means he has no grounds to be annoyed with you" I said honestly. Colin looks annoyed with me as Hayden sets his weights back down and quickly sits up, "Thank you, Jake!". "Well, I'm hurt you said that Jake! As for you Hayden, this is just like the situation I spoke to you yesterday about" Colin said being interrupted by Hayden, "That's another thing! Stop over analysing me!". "I'm only trying to understand you!". "You know what, I'll leave you both to this I've had enough drama. I'll just leave" I say peacefully. "Can you take Colin with you on your way out?" Hayden asks looking angry at Colin. "Ugh Fine! I give up" Colin snaps as he storms out the gym looking annoyed.

I also left leaving Hayden alone and walked to the kitchen to grab a quick drink when my phone bleeped and I immediately shouted for everyone to come to me. As people gathered around me I read out my message.

Islanders, tonight will be the first recouping of the season. This time the tops will choose which bottom they want. Whichever of the six bottoms is not chosen by one of the five tops they will be eliminated and will leave the villa immediately. Good luck!

I looked up feeling shocked by the message. Matt and George were staring at me as Tyler reaches for my hand. Everyone is shocked and quickly disperse to talk and digest the news. I decided to walk away on my own and sit outside on a day bed furthest away from the pool. 

I sat thinking about what to do. I am now the most vulnerable person to be sent home. Everyone can play safe if they want and stick with their partners for a few more days to simply to stay on the show and in the game. This leaves me with no one, I started to feel down about the fact that my journey may be coming to a very short end. 

Suddenly Tyrone laid down next to me on his stomach, "Hey Hun. Let's be real, you and I haven't got off to a... great start. I don't think we have particularly seen eye to eye on many things. All I want to say is... shall we start again? Believe it or not, I don't want to see you go home". I smile at him and reply, "that's pretty decent of you. So yes, I accept". He smiled back and we both sat up giving each other a hug. "I will be honest Jake. I have actually been thinking about you this morning, I even had a chat with Sam too. We agreed that if you don't snap out of this situation with Matt you might actually get sent home. This is because you can't expect the other tops to approach you when you have made it clear to them that you want Matt and only Matt" he explained. "I guess that makes sense" I agreed looking down and feeling awkward. "All I'm saying is keep your options open right now. There are other tops in this villa that are interested in you. I don't know if any of them have spoken to you or flirted with you to give you that impression. If they haven't it's probably because they think your to hung up on Matt and are not interested in them". "Maybe your right". "Look I'll leave you to think, but my advice would be to get out there and chat to the other tops if you want to stay" Tyrone suggested and he walked off leaving me alone.

I felt that what Tyrone said was correct, he provided me it's some tough love. Sometimes in life, you need to be cruel to be kind. Despite everything I wanted to do the polite and respectful thing and speak to Matt first and then I would see which other top took my fancy. I saw Matt pulling himself out the pool and sitting on the ledge. "Alright? How do you feel about the re-coupling then?". "Who are you picking? Or want to pick?" I asked sitting next to him putting my legs in the water. "I'll be honest Jake, at this stage it's all about strategy and staying in the game. Therefore I am going to keep that to myself at this moment". "So your not going to reveal who you are picking until tonight? That's a bit strange... I think. Considering the situation between me and you and of course Hugo too". "Look, Jake, I do like you. I think your pretty fit if I'm honest and I know we were a couple but if I am honest it was for one day. Let's just see how things go later on, yeah?". 

I felt what Matt said was brutally honest. As much as it did hurt to hear, I appreciated and respected him for it. I am the same when speaking to people and therefore I do expect them to be the same to me. The impression I got from Matt was that he was sticking with Hugo for the purpose of staying in the villa. Though his place wasn't at risk and he may have fancied me more, Hugo was a safer bet. After all, if he stays with Hugo it might make some viewers at home favour him. If a public vote takes place somewhere in the future, the more viewers backing him the better his chance will be at staying in the villa. 

I separated from Matt after hearing what he had to say and decided that was now my chance to go and explore my other options. I lounged around in the sun for a few hours hoping someone would come to speak to me. Then I realised what Tyrone said, it occurred to me that I should make the first move to show the other tops I am capable of being with someone other than Matt. 

Hayden the human skyscraper, was laying on a sun lounger on the grass. I decided since Hayden and Colin were not seeing eye to eye perhaps he was a good person to start with. I sat myself down on his lounger by his feet as he opens his eyes. "Hey Hayden, how are you?" I said politely. He smiled at me, seeming pleased to see me, "I'm good considering I have a lot to think about. You know, regarding my options for later. I think the whole re-coupling thing is a lot of pressure. I've spoken to some of the other lads and some are saying they will pick last minute and some are being more tactful. At the end of the day, someone's summer is about to be over, so I don't want to be responsible for that" Hayden told me looking thoughtful. "I didn't realise you had this many feelings. You look like such a jock, I guess I didn't think there was that side to you". He chuckles, "I am a typical jock. I work out and I love to impress the bottoms. I love the attention they give me and even enjoy showing off my body and moves to them. I just have a sensitive side too I guess. Anyway, what do you think this hunk should do?". 

I hadn't noticed Hayden in this way before. Without a doubt he was hot. From the initial line up, he was a close second to Matt. I really liked his height and he had a very masculine stance, walk and voice. Under all of that, he truly was a big friendly giant. "Maybe you should pick me?" I said bravely blurting out my response. He didn't seem shocked and simply smiled and replied, "You know what, I'm really glad you said that. That's going to make my day much easier now". 

I noticed that some of the boys were heading inside to get ready for this evening. I most likely had time to chat with someone else but I felt pleased with myself that I spoke to Hayden and seen him in a new light. "Well, I guess I should let you think about what I said. If it is any consolation, I think your really hot Hayden". 

I decided to leave him with his thoughts and walk inside to get ready when I noticed Alfie making smoothies. He looked up and smiled at me as he was cutting up fruit. Just as he was about to speak my phone bleeped again and I call for everyone to gather around.

Islanders, the recoupling will be in one hour. Please get yourselves ready and meet at the pool. Bottoms please line up next to the pool, tops please gather in front of them and wait to be called to make your choice.

Everyone headed upstairs to start getting ready. After a quick shower, I noticed that I was the first time I was in a room with all the bottoms. Tyler and I were very close, I had just made a fresh start with Tyrone, Colin and I seemed competitive towards one another and most likely saw each other as a threat. I hadn't spoken to Ethan since he stormed off this morning and then there was Hugo who was my least favourite person right now. I saw Ethan tossing his clothes around, looking flustered. Despite what happened this morning with Ethan, I was ready to put Ethan's feelings for Matt aside. I wasn't mad at him, "Are you ok Hun?" I asked nicely. Ethan seemed shocked I spoke to him but he responded anyway, "yeah I'm ok, it's my fault I'm not good when I'm nervous". "Let me help," I say as I look at his clothes putting some of them away into the wardrobe and hand him a light blue shirt. "This one looks lovely, you'll turn heads with this one. Either a pair of white shorts or black shorts will go great with it. If you go with the White I'd recommend your white trainers to bring that smart but casual look. If you choose black shorts I would recommend your black slip-on plimsolls ". He smiles at me feeling reassured we are still friends. "Thank you, I'm just nervous about... well you know what. I just don't think I'm going to get picked is all" he admitted. "I won't lie, I would like Matt to pick me, but let's face it he has several options. Bobby isn't going to pick me either because we are just friends" he continued looking flustered. "Hey, you'll be fine. You might even be surprised by the result tonight" I advised. "Jake's right, you are so pretty. If the tops don't see that, it's their loss" Hugo reassured him. I didn't speak to Hugo, now didn't seem the time for drama. "Thanks, guys that means a lot". "I don't want to be rude but Ethan isn't the only one at risk. It's obvious Hayden isn't picking me, we aren't exactly on good terms, this leaves me wide open for departing. Also, how could you not be so sure about Matt picking you? You got to make him breakfast this morning, Jake took mine, but that's typical you. Also, I haven't spent any time with Matt today because I was too busy spending most of it arguing with Hayden" Colin explained. "What are you going on about?" Ethan asked seeming annoyed. "I don't want to go into it. I'm stressed and not thinking straight. Matt isn't picking me, Hayden isn't picking me, you can know all that. At least I had a heart to heart with Alfie today, maybe he might" Colin wondered to himself. "Alfie?" Tyler says looking over from across the room. "We just had a chat today about me and Hayden and how I felt" Colin admitted. "Come on guys let's focus on looking fierce!" Tyrone yelled as everyone turned away from each other to focus on getting ready and looking great.

Tyrone and Colin leave the room first and not long after Tyler leaves with Ethan, this left me and Hugo alone. I noticed him looking in the mirror at himself and he seemed nervous staring at his reflection. Maybe Hugo was also feeling pressure? He is the newbie after all and whether he enjoyed it or not he caused a lot of drama coming into the villa. Perhaps he feels he is unpopular or perhaps he doesn't know who Matt wants. It is possible that Matt doesn't want to be with him and will dump him for me. 

Suddenly we both caught each other's eyes and for a moment we both paused in silence. I looked away and left the room without saying a word to him, I still couldn't speak to him without feeling annoyed. Yes, I was getting over Matt and today has helped me see things clearer. Hayden seems interested in me and Matt suggested that he was playing the game safe. However, this doesn't mean I was ready to be friendly with Hugo.

I walked outside and lined up with the bottoms. I stood in the middle of Ethan and Tyrone, Hugo arrives last and everyone stands around in almost silence. There are a few whispers but the tension was overwhelming everyone, even the tops seemed a little on edge. Tyler leaned over Ethan and rubbed my back giving me a reassuring smile. 

The silence was broken by Sams phone telling him he was first to choose.

Sam stepped forward on his with the other tops grouped behind him and the bottoms lined up in front. Sam smiles directly at Tyrone and speaks, "To be honest, we haven't been here for long but this guy honestly is something special. He's kind, caring and strong and I want to see what else happens with my summer with him. So I want to couple with Tyrone". Immediately Tyrone runs over kissing him as everyone politely claps for them both. 

The two stand to one side and watch the rest of us. This was when Alfie stepped forward to be second to choose. "Ok so I'm next," he says as he glances at me and then at the other bottoms. "I want to couple up with this person because he is bold and fierce. He's also quite opinionated but I think that is quite hot. He keeps me on my toes and I like that too. Therefore I want to couple with Tyler". Tyler smiles and walks over to him giving him a kiss on the lips. "That was actually quite sweet what you said" he admitted. "Congrats guys" I called as everyone clapped for them. 

The next top to step forward was George. "I'm choosing this person because I really rate them and I think he really gets me as a person. This makes me want to see what happens between us, so I want to couple up with Hugo". Hugo looks shocked but very pleased and walks over to George and gives him a warm hug. "Congrats you two," I say politely. I mainly said what I said for George's sake but since Hugo was no longer going to be with Matt, I began to see Hugo as less of an enemy at that moment. Hugo seemed surprised by what I said but gave me a polite smile as he made is way to one side with George. 

I guess I could say Hugo not being paired with Matt was what I wanted, even if Matt choose someone else over me, at least Hugo wasn't with him. Perhaps this was petty but my emotions were a little erratic at the moment.

However, despite being one of three bottoms remaining I felt my odds of not going home were good. If Matt has his turn next my odds of being chosen are high in my opinion. Matt has never shown the slightest interest in Ethan as much as I would never admit that to him. Colin admitted earlier he hasn't spent much time with Matt. Therefore it would be quite surprising if Matt chose Colin over me.

On the flip side, if Hayden goes next he too could pick me. He is not on good terms with Colin, therefore Colin's chance of being chosen is the lowest out of the three of us. We had a moment earlier so between me and Ethan I think he is more likely to choose me. 

The question was which man would go first?

The next phone bleeped and Hayden stepped forward leaving Matt to have the last choice of the evening. "I would like to couple up with this boy because I think we might have a good connection. I get good vibes from him despite everything that's gone on in the villa since day one. I think we are opposites in a lot of things, height is one of them, but as they say, magnets attract. Not to mention I think this boy is stunning. It might come out of the blue to some people in the villa but I do want to see what could happen between me and this boy. So I would like to couple up with... Jake". 

My heart pounded as I paused for a moment and then smiled. As I stepped forward moving towards Hayden, I noticed Matt looked far from pleased. In fact, I would go as far as to say he was pretty annoyed with Hayden. I put my arms out to Hayden who gave me a warm embrace into his very masculine body. He squeezes me close to him as the other islanders clap for us, apart from Matt.

Hayden took my hand and lead me over to the others. I then stood quietly and see Ethan and Colin looking nervous as Matt approaches them both. 

"This is a lot of pressure for me. I don't like drama and I really don't like being the one to send someone home based on my choice. I guess I don't have a choice so let's get on with it. I am going to be blatantly honest and clear that neither one of you boy standing here would have been my first choice had I of gone first this evening. In fact, the one boy I wanted has been taken from me and I guess I know how he felt last night " he says looking over at me and Hayden. 

Hayden chose to ignore Matt and keep me close to him. Everyone else stared at me as I felt very uncomfortable. Obviously, I still have feelings for Matt. He has just confirmed he still has feelings for me and has openly admitted he wanted to choose me. However, I think Matt had been too chilled out about the re-coupling and hasn't seemed to have thought about someone else picking me. Perhaps if he had made it clearer when I spoke to him that he wanted me, I wouldn't have flirted with Hayden. Alternatively, if he had spoken to the other tops and told them he wanted me, it may have diverted Hayden towards choosing someone else. In fact when I asked Matt who he was going to pick he chose not to tell me. Perhaps he wanted me to be surprised by his choice in a weird but romantic way or maybe he was just being awkward. I don't know? All I know is Matt has made quite a few mistakes in the last twenty-four hours. 

"Anyway, it is what it is. Maybe this is a new start and I am open to giving another boy a chance. I am choosing this boy because I am attracted to him and I think he understands me quite well. He knows my needs in all areas, probably decent in bed too if I'm honest. Anyway, the person I want to couple up with is... Colin" he continues as Colin smiles and walks over to him giving him a kiss on the cheek leaving Ethan alone and upset. 

Everyone claps and gathers together as Ethan speaks, "I can't believe I'm going home" he says sadly as he receives a text.

Ethan, your time on Gay Island has come to an end. Please pack up your things and leave the villa immediately.

"Oh my god babe" Tyler cries as he runs over giving him a big hug. "It won't be the same without you. You are such a brilliant person, you're so full of life and sunshine" he continues as he lets go. Colin comes over to join the chat. "I'm really sorry," he said as other islanders come over taking turns to hug Ethan and say nice things to him. "I will genuinely miss you too, just as much as Tyler," I said as I gave him a hug. Hayden and Sam also hug him as Matt apologies politely for sending him. 

"Gay Island isn't just about finding love it's also about making memories and friends for life. Just know you've made two of those with me and Jake" Tyler says holing Ethan's hand. 

As everyone is distracted by Ethan they start to head inside to help him pack. However, Matt pulls me to one side in private next to the patio. 

"I meant what I said, I wanted you and would have picked you if Hayden hadn't got there first," he told me. "I believe you". "I didn't even know he liked you, I thought he would have picked Ethan, he told me yesterday he found him attractive. Anyway, to be clear it's only fair I give Colin a chance and as much as I don't like it you should give Hayden a chance. He might have back stabbed me tonight but up until that point he has been my best mate in here. I guess we are keeping our options open but we were each other's first pick. So if things don't work out..." he says not finishing his sentence as he puts his arm around me. 

He looked into my eyes for a moment and leans forward to kiss me when we heard the patio door sliding open. We quickly pulled apart and casually walked past Sam who came outside for a moment. 

Shortly we were all gathered at the door, a jeep was waiting for Ethan. Hayden grabbed his suitcase and placed it in the jeep. "Well, I guess this is goodbye. Thanks for everything everyone. Even though my time here was short, I would like to meet up when this is all over" he says as he opens the jeep door and sits in the backseat. "You got it babe" Tyler calls. The jeep starts to pull away as Ethan shouts goodbye. I stand and wave at him as he fades away into the distance. "I can't believe he's gone," Tyler said looking sad as Alfie wrapped him into an embrace to comfort him. 

Everyone started to head back inside and get ready for bed not long later. I stepped into the bathroom to find Colin. I felt awkward, perhaps it had something to do with the fact we had both swapped men. "Hey" he smiled at me softly. I smile back at him and turn to the mirror standing at the sink next to him. Our eyes meet in the mirror when I decided to break the ice, "I'm sorry how things worked out". "It's ok, you had been taken. Matt has to make a choice. Hayden was never going to pick me, the two of us couldn't see eye to eye" he explained. We brushed our teeth together and after he spoke again, "being coupled with Matt might be alright. Even though I know he likes you, it will make our start difficult but in time who knows. How do you feel about Hayden? Is he your hunky giant?" He asked. "To be honest, it's too soon to tell. I just broke up with Matt. After today I was prepared and started to get over him. However, clearly, from tonight he is as messed up as I am. Who knows, maybe this is good? This might give us some space and allow us to get to know someone else". "I think that's fair Jake" Colin admitted. We finished washing up around the sink, "Look Jake, there's been some friction between us these last three days. It seems you and me are very similar and I think maybe our ways have rubbed each other up the wrong way. We're clearly going to be spending a lot more time together, I guess what I'm saying is, are we good now? Or at least can we start fresh with our new men?" He asked. 

Despite how Colin behaved toward Matt on day one and how he seemed to be plotting our break up ever since he met us, he has seemed to have changed his tune. I could see tonight has shaken him. Therefore I was willing to meet him halfway and start fresh. "Yes, let's start a new chapter and have a good summer" I agreed as we both gave each other a hug. 

I left the room and changed into my nightwear and stroll into the bedroom and bent over at my bedside table. As I turn around Hayden was standing behind me with his eyes wide open. I chuckled looking at him and slid into my bed, it hadn't been slept in last night and I was pleased to return to it again. 

Hayden climbs in next to me as everyone starts to turn off their bedside lamps ready for bed. I could see Matt occasionally looking at me and Hayden. For the first time since being in the villa, I decided to ignore him and lay down in bed as all the lights turn off. 

Hayden moves closer to me and rests his head in front of mine. "Are you Ok? After tonight? Like with me picking you?" He whispers. "Yes," I replied and smile at him. "You are genuinely stunning and I know I'm glad to have a chance with you". I smile and lean forward as Hayden follows me. "You know what?" He whispers. "What?". "I f*****g fancy you," he says as he released his dominant and confident side. He pulled me into his embrace with one arm and kisses me on the lips. Hayden was a pretty good kisser, he had big lips which I hadn't experienced before but I really enjoyed myself being held in his embrace. 

I placed my hands on his shoulders as we continue to kiss each other's lips as Hayden starts to slip his tongue into my mouth. Eventually, we stop realising we are in a room with eight others. "Well, I enjoyed that" he whispers, winking at me. "Me too, let's just snuggle for tonight before we get caught" I giggle as I turn over pressing my back against Hayden's chest as he holds me firmly against him with his arm pressed on my very petite body locking me into place.
