The morning came too soon, the lights switch-on, telling us to wake up for the day ahead. I saw that things didn't change in this villa, being told when to get up was too normal. Everyone slowly starts stirring and pulling themselves up to look around the room and greet each other. I felt good about sleeping next to Chris, it wasn't awkward in the slightest. In an odd way, it did make me miss Matt, I wondered if he was thinking about me or even if he had thought about me. At least I had peace of mind that while being in this villa it didn't matter whether Matt was flirting with someone else or remaining faithful to Charlie or should I say, indirectly remaining faithful to me? Regardless of what Matt did, it wouldn't affect me, if he stays faithful that's cute and shows a good sign. If he cheats and goes with a new bottom, it isn't me he has technically cheated on, it's Charlie.
As I was lost in thought, Chris wakes up and rolls over to face me, "morning, did you sleep well?". "Yes, great thanks yourself?". "Yes I did thank you," he says smiling at me.
Soon people started to get up and get ready, make breakfast and some hot drinks. As I wandered downstairs and stepped outside into the sun, Alberto walked over to me holding a plate of sliced melon. "Oh I love melon" I cheered, grabbing a slice then taking a bite. "I know, I remember when you told Hayden on your brunch date with him" he smiled at me. "Oh wow... you remember that? That was a long time ago, that's very sweet of you" I replied seeming shocked by his answer. I felt impressed by Alberto, I was attracted to him and he was very charismatic. However, the reason I was leaning more towards Chris was because Chris seemed to be almost exclusively interested in me. Alberto had previously mentioned I was third in line regarding the boys he was interested in. Although his mind may have changed since the speed dating, I had wondered if he was sweet-talking the other boys and keeping his options open.
Alberto smiled at me, "Oh it's nothing. I just find you to be a memorable person". He then winked at me which made me giggle. "As you might of guessed, I didn't only come out here to give you some food. I can't lie, Jake, you are very much my type. I think we could maybe have something here. I am aware you are getting along with Chris and I think he's lovely, I don't want to be the bad guy. I think you should have an open field and know you have options. Personally, I don't think you owe Corey anything, he is the reason you and Matt broke up. I guess what I am saying is, I'm placing my cards on the table and letting you know you that I am one of your options" he explained. I paused for a moment to think and then responded, "perhaps your right, there could be something here. I'm glad you have made me aware of another option I have" I smiled sweetly at him. "Does this mean I can steal a kiss?" He asked cheekily.
I felt this was going a little too far, considering I made out with Chris last night. I think it would have been rude to him for me to kiss Alberto in open sight. I didn't want anyone to think I was disrespectful. "Maybe later Alberto" I said politely declining his offer. "I will be counting the hours".
I then walked off with Alberto to join some of the other islanders who were sitting on the edge of the pool with there legs and feet in the water. "Hey, loving the shorts Jake," Chris said to me as sat down next to him. "Ok let's start a group conversation. Tops, how would you usually get a bottoms number?" Colin asked opening the question to the group. The tops looked at each other as Freddie jumped to answer first. "I usually meet bottoms in clubs, so I usually get the bottom a drink, who I can see has his eye on me. Maybe even some of his friends to show how nice I am. Then when the barman gives them the drinks he points me out to them". "I don't usually meet many guys. I have a busy lifestyle" Manny responded. "You're a hairdresser? You must meet lots?" Chris asked. "Yeah I do but it's difficult to date clients and you have to be careful too because if you do something wrong you could get a bad reputation from it and sometimes I wonder if it is even worth the trouble". "I agree, it's not wise to date people you work with. I've seen it go wrong three times in my working career" I explained as Manny seemed happy I agreed with him.
"For me, I find my dogs are a huge help with boys," Alberto told us. "How so?" Chris asked. "Well as part of some of our packages we will walk the dogs around some parks or the city. Dogs are magnets for attention. The younger and cuter the dog is, the more it works". "Damn it, I would be one of those suckers that you pull in, I love dogs," Hugo told the group. "Exactly they come over and they compliment the dog and get distracted by it. Then I can easily spark a conversation about the dog which then usually leads onto them because they will tell me about a dog they have and then I'll get more personal with questions, work some flirtatious magic and boom!" He confirmed seeming pleased with himself. "I could believe, that works" Tyler sighed. "The best line to give is when they say your dog is so cute, you respond with, not as cute as you. Gets them every time" he smirks. "Again, I bet that also works" Tyler sighs.
"You guys are making this to complex, getting bitches is easy" Grant bellows as he stands in the pool. "Go on then big bollocks, how do you get yours?" Freddie asked directly. "It's not hard, most of the guys know me in my local area and few surrounding ones so I tend to chat to everyone. It's very easy to flirt once you have taken an interest in them as a person first. You come off as more easy-going and less of a predator, looking to bed them". "That makes sense" Hugo confirmed. "Apart from when he called us bitches" Tyler sighed. "I have dated one of the software engineers at my company" Chris explained as Manny cut him off, "You wasn't listening, it's not a good idea to date a co-worker". "Well I don't get much time elsewhere, we both met through cycling anyway. His chain snapped and I helped him out". "Really you bonded over a hobby than work?" Tyler asked. "Yeah, I guess, so that's not as bad". "A hobby is a good way to meet someone" I agreed. "Jake and Chris are right. At least from the get-go you know an activity you can do together as a date" Tyrone told us. "Karl, your the last one. How do you do it?" Hugo asks.
"To be honest, I basically use dating apps". "That's it?" Hugo asked. "Well it's the modern age and phones exist so why not use them. I usually start a conversation around languages. I can speak French quite well and I also know a small amount of Arabic. My grandfather is Algerian" he told us. "That's so interesting!" Hugo and Tyler said together. "See conversation started" he smiled. "Apps are something we all use, bottoms and tops" Manny confirmed as everyone seemed to agree with him.
Soon people started to break away from the chat and find alternative things to do. It wasn't much longer under until myself and Charlie were left together. "Can I ask you for some advice?" He asked. "Sure, what's up?". "It's about Manny, what do you think of him?". "He's hot, but I'm not pursuing him though". "I think he's really hot. I came here with an open mind but in the back of my head, I thought maybe I should stay loyal to Matt". I rolled my eyes at this moment, knowing that Charlie seemed to be oblivious to the fact I have a long history with Matt. Also, Matt openly admitted he did not get what he wanted at the recoupling. I had wondered that surely, even someone like Charlie could have guessed he was not Matt's first choice by this statement. "Matt is a good guy but I don't know I really like Manny. What should I do?".
I could have done the right thing and told Charlie to be open, get to know Manny and see how he felt at the end of the trip. However, my selfish side took over and decided to break him away from Matt. One part of me felt the odds of Matt coupling with another bottom was high, therefore I didn't need two boys to fight off, to get him back. I could eliminate Charlie now and worry about the newbie bottom later. "You should just go for a kiss. Let your lips allow you to feel the passion and heat. That will help you decide" I winked at him. "Wow, your hardcore". "Hey, I kissed Chris yesterday to make sure I felt something". "Oh really? Ok, thank you. I'm glad we had this chat" he told me, getting up and wandering off. I felt that my work here was done, hopefully Charlie would listen to my advice.
I spent the next few hours soaking up the sun and increasing my tan. I was already a dark golden brown colour but unless I am eliminated from the show I still have another two weeks in paradise.
Meanwhile, a few of the islanders were around me chatting. Alberto was telling everyone that he dated three boys in one day. "My mistake was letting them choose the activity. The first was a big meal, the second was a big meal and the third was yoga. Needless to say, I was banned from that place" he laughed. "And what did this teach you?" I called. "to always choose the activity when dating multiple boys" he laughed. "I don't think that's what Jake meant" Tyrone pointed out.
I received a text and read it to the group.
Islanders, prepare for a competition, it's time to heat thing up as you go head to head with the other villa in a series of mini-challenges. The winning villa with be treated to a night of cocktails.
"I love cocktails" Charlie cheered. "I'd love a cocktail party" Grant called from the pool. We waited around the loungers for a set of mini-challenges. Grant received the first text. "The shortest bottom needs to kiss the tallest top". "I'm clearly the tallest top" Grant continued. "No the tallest is Karl surely" I wondered. The two stood back to back and it appeared they were the same height, Karl was happy to sit this one out. "The shortest bottom would be Colin?" Tyrone wondered.
The two ran at each other and Grant lifts Colin up so they are face to face as Colin wraps his arms around his neck, they share a long intimate kiss. "The tallest boy in the home villa would be Hayden, I wonder who he will kiss" Tyrone wondered as everyone turned back to Colin and Grant who had only just stopped kissing. "I don't think you needed to kiss for that long" Alberto laughed. "Better safe than sorry" Colin smiled. Grant grins as he high fives Manny.
Manny receives a text, "the first islanders to race into the water must share an underwater kiss". "
Suddenly, Charlie jumps up from his lounger grabbing Manny, pulling him up from his lounger, leaping into the water taking Manny with him.
Everyone looks over the edge of the pool to see the two share an awkward underwater kiss. Soon the two come up for air and pull themselves out the water. Karl's phone bleeped, he paused while reading the message to himself, "read it out, Karl!" Colin yelled. "Come on were racing here!" Grant frowned. "The oldest top must perform five s****l positions with the youngest bottom".
"I'm the youngest bottom," Charlie says. "Who is the oldest top?" Hugo asks. "It's me," Freddie says, I'm a month older than Manny". Charlie giggles as he lays Freddie down and straddles him. "One!" Colin shouts. Charlie rolls over onto his back as Freddie rolls over onto his knees lifting Charlie's legs. "Two!" Tyler cheers. Charlie rolls onto his front and presses his bum onto Freddie's package. "Three!" Grant calls. "Sit on me again" Freddie calls as he lays down and places Charlie in reverse on his package. "Four!" Chris shouts. "This one is always good," Freddie says as he turns Charlie around and stands up, holding Charlie with his bum placed on his package and supporting him with his hands on his back and legs over his arms. "Oh the suspended congress. I mean Five!" Alberto calls.
Charlie slides down carefully to his feet giggling and sits back down next to Manny who was laughing. "Let's keep the pace up guys, we are doing this challenge fast!" Colin cheers. "Karl, give a bottom of your choice a lap dance" Alberto laughs reading his phone.
"Oh no, I don't dance," Karl says. "Get on with it, we're winning this!" Grant told him. "No, I really would feel too uncomfortable". "Come on Karl, just sway and move a little" Hugo persuaded. Reluctantly, he gets to his feet and asks who wanted it. The boys were quiet for a moment so I grabbed his hand pulled him over to me to begin and get the challenge over with. Tyler seemed to look unhappy with me and I could tell that Karl felt really uncomfortable and didn't enjoy it. "This is the worst" he sighs as he sways around me. "Hey!" I snap. "Oh no not you" he gasped. The other islanders cheer him on for support, he only lasts a few more seconds before he gives up and returns to his seat.
"I have to kiss a boy for thirty seconds" Chris grins as he reads his phone. "Well come on, what you waiting for" I call as Chris's face lights up as he rushes over to me, pushing me back against the lounger, sitting on my lap as he held my face with his hands as I placed mine on his back. He kisses me passionately as the other islanders count us down.
Truthfully, the thirty seconds went by too quickly. Before I knew it everyone cheered at zero at the end of the countdown. He pulled back and smiled at me whilst getting up onto his feet. "I liked that," he told me as I smiled at him.
"I have to give a piggyback to a boy around the garden" Alberto calls while reading his phone. "Oh me, I love riding," I say jumping up as everyone laughs at me. "Get your mind out the gutter, all of you" I giggle as Alberto leans down letting me jump onto his back. "You said it not me" he replied, as he began to run along the garden holding my legs as I held onto his shoulders. He picks up speed, leering me get bounced up and down on his back as the other islanders shout and cheer. As he reaches the pool Alberto jumps over the edge and I let out a scream as the two of us plunge into the water, the other islanders cheer.
I received a text and read it out, "I must try to make a top blush". I walked over to Chris who is standing next to a mini table with an umbrella in the centre. "I hoped you'd choose me" he replied as I placed my hand on his chest and leaned over to his ear and began to whisper, "You know Chris, in the living room there is a vibrating armchair. I think tonight you and I should test that out together, we can switch it to the pulse setting and it might help you with a harder and deeper thrust into me" he giggles replies, "I mean I'm all for that but that won't make me blush". "Ugh!" I sighed as Hugo jumps up and blows a raspberry on Freddie's stomach, he laughs and turns red at the same time. "Sorry Jake, you tried" Hugo giggle. "We are not doing, what I just said now!" I sighed, as Chris stood in place chuckling.
"Oh my god! This is the worst one!" Tyrone calls looking mortified. "What is it?" Colin asks trying to see Tyrone's phone. "The final challenge is, every Islander has to suck another islanders toe! I hate feet!" He yells panicking. Everyone starts to reluctantly pair up, myself and Chris lay down together. I take his big toe as he takes mine, the two of us reluctantly give a small suck on each other's toe for a few seconds and let go. "I've sucked on better things in my time" I laugh.
The challenge wrapped up once every stopped giggling and began standing up. We lounged around and hung out together until the sun started to set. Afterwards, we started to prepare for the evening, conversation flowed as normal in the dressing room. "Colin why are you wearing a jockstrap and why is that a clean-shaven booty I see?" Tyler asked looking at his bum which looked perkier in a jockstrap. "All I'm saying is, you never know what might happen". "Oh" Tyler replied as we all looked at each other. "He's hoeing himself out" I laughed. "Hey, not hoeing" Colin sighed. "Who here thinks the new tops will put in the effort to impress us?" Tyrone asked. "The amount of effort we have to go through, being hairless, having a tight but easily expandable holes, douching and so on. We deserve a little something" I say sassily. "True that!" Hugo called giving a high five to me. Hugo then hears his phone and cheers, "we won the challenge". We all jump up and down then rushed to tell the boys.
After we told them, they too got excited. "Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Gonna f**k the bitches tonight" Grant cheers thrusting as he does so. All the bottoms look at each other and eye roll, minus Colin who stared at Grant. "Well Colin is the only one of us, prepared for that" Tyler called, the rest of us giggle together.
Everyone continues to get ready and head outside seeing a large bar with a bartender ready to make us drinks. As I walk downstairs Alberto pulls me to one side to chat. "What up?" I ask looking puzzled. "I just want to be straight with you. This morning you said maybe there was something between us. I just want to ask you if you just want to couple up now and bin Chris and Corey?". I was shocked by Alberto's direct question. I felt Alberto was coming onto me in a very strong manner. It started to give me the impression he might have been using me to get himself a confirmed place on the show. If the roles were reversed, I would have done the same but I'd have been more subtle. The six new tops at the moment only have temporary places on the show for three days. They need to do there upmost to impress the current bottoms in order for us to break up with our current partners in the home villa. We must choose them in order for them to get a permanent place on the show. Sadly for Alberto, he may have just blown his chance with me.
"If I'm honest Alberto, I would like to stick with Chris. Sorry" I said as Alberto looked upset. "Oh, well I guess we should get to the party then," he told as he walked off leaving me alone.
Everyone receives a drink at the bar, either a cocktail or a glass of champagne already poured into glasses on the counter. I took a champagne flute, then everyone raised their glasses. "Let's toast!" Hugo calls. "To love!" I cheer. "Yes, the person who makes you smile in the morning and snuggles with you at night" Hugo calls as we all take a sip of our drinks. Afterwards, Tyrone turns to the bottoms and breaks the group up. "What do we think the guys back at home are up to. Do you think any of them were reluctant to kiss the new bottoms?". "Does it matter?" I asked. "I guess not, but I would like to know if they are thinking about us". "I bet the new bottoms are all twinky models, in jockstraps rolling around our sheets" Tyler sighed looking annoyed. "I bet they're so hot" Colin agreed. Soon Chris comes over and takes my hand, "Can we chat?" He asks as he leads me away from the group on our own.
We sit down on a bench at the other end of the garden. "I stole you this," he says pulling a bottle of champagne from behind the bench. "Fancy, but I don't think you can technically steal it, it's free" I laughed as he popped the cork. "I guess I want to ask you, where your head is. You seem to have a lot of men around you. I mean, your here with me, but it's not gone unnoticed that Alberto fancies you. Then at the villa your with Corey but you have this history with Matt. Hayden is also a past lover". "You deserve honesty. This is what I will tell you, Corey isn't in the picture as he broke me and Matt up, so he's lost me as a friend. Alberto is nice but I'm not sure his feelings are genuine. Hayden is as you say he is, the past. That leaves you and Matt, the way I see it is, I do like you and who knows maybe this could go somewhere but the history with Matt isn't going to change"I explained honestly. "I glad you said that. I do like you and I was nervous to ask. You've always been really popular with tops, ever since day one" Chris explained. "Unfortunately, I am not able to help that. But I am here now with you" I told him, then giving him a kiss on the lips.
I spent most of the night just sitting on the bench drinking champagne with Chris. Colin spent most of his with Grant. Eventually, I decided to mingle with the others, I went to speak to Charlie and Tyrone who were discussing couples. "Hey Jake, we were just matching islanders up. What do you think of Tyler and Freddie?" Charlie asked. "Oh no, Freddie would annoy him I think". "Yeah Jake's right, what about Hugo and Chris?" Tyrone asked. "Oh they'd have hot children if it were possible" Charlie giggled. "How are you and Chris though Jake? Has be turned your head, he has been trying to impress you since he got here. It's not gone unnoticed in the villa" Tyrone asked. "Yeah, we are really good. I do like him but if I'm honest I am still loyal to Matt". "Matt? But your not with him?" Charlie asked seeming confused. I realised I made a mistake saying that in front of Charlie. Considering, I just told him to go and fall for Manny. Luckily for me, Charlie wasn't very bright. "Well I know he's yours but I do have a history with him. So a part of me still respects him as a person" I said as Charlie smiled. "oh ok, I think I understand". Tyrone gave me an unusual look but I knew instantly what his face was telling me. It was that I had a lucky escape from falling out with Charlie. "Anyway babe, you do you," Tyrone told me as he sips his drink.
Before we knew it the party was coming to a close and everyone was settling down for bed. Me and Chris hopped into bed together, he pulls me into his arms and holds me until I fall asleep.
