Gay Island

Day Twelve A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Touch My Body

Day twelve continued with Charlie sitting at the foot of my bed giggling to Matt. "I am not a gorilla" Matt sighed. "Yes, you are! Your such a man, so masculine. A little more body hair and you would be" he giggled. "Hey, he's my gorilla" I smiled and kissed him on the lips. Matt grins and throws his arm around me. 

"Enough about animals, we were thinking about pranking Tom. You guys in?" George asked as him and Hayden joined us on the bed. "What is this? Let's all get into bed with Jake and Matt day?" I asked. "That would be a great day!" Charlie wondered. "Guys! You in?" Hayden asked. "Sure, the lad needs to know who the real men are in here" Matt smirked. "Count me in too" Corey called, joining the now limited space on our bed. "Me too" Tyler yelled as he too climbed aboard. "Ok, I'm not sure how many more people can fit on our bed" I laughed. "I'm joining" Sam called moving Tyler and Corey aside to slide in the middle. "Now, we were thinking we would all start using a word that we made up but we continue to say it, it will seem like it's a real word. Just not one he has heard of. Hopefully he takes the bait and starts saying it too. Thinking he is in the loop and he knows what the word means, but doesn't". "Ok, so what word are we using?" Colin asked as he stood behind Corey wrapping his arms around him. "We were thinking either Homebrew, Al Dente or Ding". "Are these are real words?" I asked. "Yes but not slag words. We will give the word a whole you meaning into sentences" Hayden explained. "For example, we could give it a bad meaning. Something like, it's getting a bit homebrew in there mate" George laughed. "I like homebrew," I said smiling. "Me too, it's a bit different" Matt agreed. "I'm with them! homebrew please!" Charlie giggled like a schoolboy. "It's settled then! Remember guys this is top secret" George replied firmly, as he dismissed the meeting.

As everyone excuses themselves, people continued to go about there usual days and split up. I got myself back into my swimwear after my escapades with Matt, when I heard voices coming from the roof. I walked by the spiral stairs which lead up to it. I could hear Sam and Hugo chatting. "This is pretty big. Are you sure that's how you feel? I don't want to be messed around" Hugo gasped. "I haven't gone off Tyrone or anything just to be clear. I guess I have started to wonder would I be happier with you?". "Holy s**t" I whispered to myself. 

I wondered if I should tell Tyrone or not, one part of me wanted to tell him. However if Sam was to dump Tyrone for Hugo, Tyrone will soon know about it. Also, if I tell Tyrone I would automatically be involved in the drama to follow. I haven't been caught in a big drama in a couple of days and I wanted it to stay like that. In the end, I decided that I would not tell Tyrone and allow Sam to do it in his own time. Maybe I am wrong, he's my friend but it was my choice.

I walked outside into what seemed like the last of the sun and made my way to the sun loungers as Matt came out of the gym with some of the tops. "Jake!" He called as he made his way over to me, he told me he would join me in the sun. "You feeling ok, you don't normally spend much of your day with me. You are off with your boys?". "Maybe I want to spend some time with you. Is that so bad? Surely you want to be with your man?" He smirked as he laid on a lounger. I giggled and laid beside him closing my eyes, enjoying the late sun.

We started chatting small talk for a few minutes until my phone made a noise. Matt shouted out to the villa immediately.

Islanders, it's time to find out who scrubs up and who dishes the dirt. Let's see if those skeletons are ready to come out of the closet!

"Mate, that's homebrew!" Tom called. George covers his mouth and shrivels up trying desperately to not burst out laughing. "It's a bit late for a challenge, isn't it? We usually have our challenge in the afternoon it's almost evening?" Colin asked. "True, I assumed we wasn't having one today" Hugo wondered. 

We all headed down to the docks while George tried to contain himself. We saw two large paddling pools. One with warm water and soapy bubbles and the other looked dirty and brown almost like mud. On a table in the middle between the two pools were two piles of envelopes, one marked tops and one marked bottoms. Tom looks over the mud and speaks, "that's homebrew that is". George holds onto Hayden for dear life, trying not to fall to the floor hearing the word again. "No mate, that's still wrong" Hayden corrected him. Tom seemed slightly embarrassed but said nothing. Hugo decided to move on and read out the challenge from his phone.

Islanders, in today's challenge you need to come clean! In front of you are two piles of envelopes containing secrets about your fellow islanders. One for the tops and one for the bottoms. If you choose to open an envelope and read a secret you'll have to slide into the mud. If you can resist the temptation and keep the secret sealed you will be washed clean by the person who's secret was inside.

"Christ my hair!" I panicked. "Oh no, I hadn't thought of that!" Charlie gasped holding onto his hair. "Its ok guys were only sliding in it's not something being thrown over us" Hugo explained. Everyone lined up, the bottoms on one side and the tops on the other facing their partners. The exception was Tom and Charlie who were facing each other. Matt's phone makes a noise first, he gets to choose what to do first. He walks over and picks up an envelope, he peels off the sticker which reads bottom to see it reads Tyler underneath. "Well well well this is interesting," he said looking devious. "So does this mean, if you open it you'll have a less chance of winning the challenge? You'll have to get muddy, and you don't you get a point because Tyler has to bath you?" Tyrone asked. "It's about taking the high ground," Tyler said quickly. "f**k that, I couldn't care less" Matt called as he tears the envelope open and reads out what it says, "Titanic has made Tyler cry six times to date". Tyler gasped as the group giggled. "Titanic really?" I asked. "It's an emotional movie!" He snapped looking embarrassed. "Get in the mud Matt!" Tyler ordered as he composed himself.

Matt climbed the slide and slid into the pool. The mud covered him and sent platters up his body. "Jake, do you still find me attractive like this?" He asked sitting in the mud. I shrugged, "its touch and go, at the moment". As Matt climbed out of the pool my phone vibrated.

I walked over to the pile and picked up an envelope at random, pulling off the sticker to reveal it had Matt's name on it. "You know what? If it was anyone other than Matt I would have said I'd leave it. However, it is Matt, I will have to open it" I smiled deviously. "There's something Matt hasn't been totally honest about and it relates to loyalty. Did you know that Matt slept with his best friends girlfriend?". Hayden and Tom burst out laughing, "brilliant" they commented. "Oh my god, that's horrible!" Colin sighed. "That's so savage" George laughed. "Well to be fair as much as the guy doesn't know they aren't together anymore" Matt admitted. "He might have a clue now," I told him. "Whatever, get your as dirty arse in the mud" he ordered. 

I climb to the top of the slide and look down. "I'd rather not" I called as Matt ran over and started shaking the slide. "Alright!" I yelled as I started slowly sliding down the slide, very gracefully sliding into the mud. There no splash and I luckily don't get too much mud over my body. "That's just boring" George called. "I love that Jake! That's how I'm doing it" Tyler called. I hopped out the mud and ran back to the line. "I can't wait to wash this off!".

Tyrone picked up an envelope with Sam's name on it and read it out. "Did you know at sixteen Sam misunderstood what The Reading Festival was? He turned up to the festival with a pile of books in his backpack". George and the other tops burst out laughing at him. "As if!" Colin chuckled. Sam looked embarrassed but soon laughed himself, "I guess it is a bit funny". "It's pronounced red-ing, like the place. It's a music festival, not a reading club" George explained. "Well, I know that now!" Sam sighed. Tyrone then slides into the mud at a normal speed, a small splash lands on his body but Sam runs over flicking the mud over Tyrone's face. "That's gross, I'll get you for that" Tyrone laughed as he got out. 

Colin picked up the envelope reading Corey. "Why is everyone randomly getting their partners this is annoying" George sighed with his arms crossed. "Did you know that Corey used to try on his mother's stilettos as a young child. It's a bit different to the masculine buff guy he has become now". Everyone started laughing as Corey covered his face in embarrassment. Colin soon slid down into the mud as a normal speed with a little splash at the bottom. 

As the round continues, everyone who has had a turn has been covered in mud. Matt was given another turn and picked the envelope with my name on it. He looks at me and smiles, "revenge is sweet Jake" he smirked and tore the envelope open. "Is there any point me asking you to not read that?". "No" he laughed and opened up the card. "Did you know, at 13 years old Jake slept through a hurricane while on holiday in the Caribbean?". "Phew that's not too bad, that secret" I laughed. "How is that even possible?" Tyrone asked. "I don't know, I woke up early that morning to a tree hitting on the patio door and gusts of wind blowing tiles off the hotel's roof but other than that time, I didn't wake up during the night, which was when the hurricane started" I explained. "Damn, that was disappointing. I wanted it to be something dirty Jake had done" Matt sighed. "I guess you'll never know" I laughed as Matt dived into the mud skipping the slide. 

Hugo picks up an envelope which reads Tom on it. "Tom once decided to get his crack and sack waxed but cried after the first strip was pulled off. It took the lady over thirty minutes to remove the rest from him". Everyone started laughing as Toms masculinity took a huge plunge. Matt seemed happy with the results feeling like he was more masculine than Tom. Hugo jumped into the mud trying to look erotic as he rubbed it over his skin. 

Toms turn is next and he picks up Charlie's name. "You know what, I'm not getting muddy," he told the group as he tosses the envelope away. "If he won't I will" Matt yells grabbing the envelope and reading it. "Did you know Charlie got fired from his job last year because he signed an email to a big client with the symbols 8=D". Charlie huffs as everyone giggles. "I thought it was a smiley face, it turns out the client thought that was someone else which was inappropriate," he says looking sad. Matt once again dives into the mud, not that he could get dirtier. 

More turns pass as Tom, Sam and George get a warm soapy bath from their grateful bottoms. Tyler was the only bottom to say no and was also given a soapy bath. 

Tyler receives a text and reads it out.

Tyler and George you win today's challenge your prize is to spend the night in the hideaway!

"Oh this was a couples challenge, I thought it was a team challenge" Matt laughed. "Well either way you wouldn't have won, you opened everyone's secrets even ones that were not yours to open" I chuckled. "So do we just go back to the villa now? To do what? Charlie asked. "Knowing George we will end up building a magical fort around the bed" Tyler laughed. "That's a good idea," George said sounding intrigued. 

As we all walked back to the villa Charlie comes running over with the unread secrets. "Jake! OMG this secret is to die for!" Charlie screamed as Tyrone, Hugo, Colin, Sam and Tyler walk over. He leaned closer and says, "Sam had an ex-boyfriend called Hugo, three months prior to joining the villa". I scream with excitement, "shut up!". Tyrone overheard and looked angry at Sam. "Let's not make this bigger than it is" Sam sighed. "It is big! We used to tell each other everything. Why would you hide this?". "I didn't think it mattered. Who cares what my ex's are called?". " I suppose it is interesting" I commented. "Jake's right, in the sense that, sometimes people go for new partners who remind them of there ex" Colin commented. "Next I'll find out it was Hugo" Tyrone sighed. "No, it wasn't" Sam admitted. 

I realised I hadn't told Tyrone about this morning about what I overheard. I wondered if now was a good time to tell him. However, I still felt like the drama that was about to unfold didn't really involve me. Once again, if I said what I heard I would upset Sam. Hugo too, for eavesdropping and I'd b putting myself into a dramatic battle. I decided to stay quiet. 

"I think the way you are with me lately is horrible," Tyrone said with a raised voice. "Oh he's not told you yet has he?" Hugo smiled. "Hugo!" Sam said quickly. "No, I want it out in the open. Sam said this morning he's picking me at the next recoupling". Tyrone's eyes widen in shock as others around seemed surprised. "When were you planning on telling me?" Tyrone snapped. "For the record, I said I was thinking about it, not that I definitely was. I didn't want to mess things up with you if we still had a future". "Oh, you're beyond messing it up! I'm done!" Tyrone yelled as he stormed off inside the villa. Sam ran off after him as Charlie's phone made a noise. 

"Oh dear, I've been given a warning from the show. It's against the rules to steal the envelopes" he said looking down. "I'll have to be a good boy from now on" he sighed feeling guilty. 

Later on in the dressing room whilst getting ready Tyrone was annoyed, he was stomping around the room and kept slamming objects down loudly. Tyler came and sat next to him offering him some grooming products and aftershave to use. Tyrone took a look at him and the products, he simply got up and marched out the room. "I have other aftershaves if you don't like Tyler's?" I offered. "I can't be in here, I'm going to find Sam". "Maybe that's not a good idea? Especially, when you look like your going to burn the villa down with your eyes" Tyler commented. Tyrone ignored us and left the room. 

I walked out of the dressing room a little while later and strolled to the bathroom. I found Matt sitting on the sink counter. "What are you doing?" I asked. "You know me, I can't be asked with drama. I assume you haven't heard, there's been a huge fight downstairs". "So why are you hiding in here? Are you involved? Did you do something?" I sighed. "No, just no one fights in bathrooms. I can't get dragged in this way". "I guess not" I shrugged. "Anyway, you and I could get up to some fun in here. Letting the time go by" Matt smirked. "Hun, I just spent the last hour or so getting ready, I'm not about to get my hair ruined and my clothes wrinkled. You're on your own" I told him. Matt looked disappointed but didn't argue, he didn't seem to want the hassle. 

I walked downstairs and found Hugo in the kitchen. "Shh, listen," he said being quiet standing against the counter. I came over not speaking and stood next to Hugo. "So the fight is still going on then?" I asked. "They've been at it for a while now. Tyrone is practically screaming at Sam". "Ouch, I would not want to be Sam right now". "Am I right for staying out of it?". "Definitely, if you went in the living room right now, you'll make things a hundred times worst". "True, I guess it will come back to me at some point tonight but I'll leave it for now" he replied looking deflated. "It makes me wonder, I went after Sam because I like him and I'm interested in him the most out of all the guys. I had a choice, either stay with Hayden or start new with Sam. Perhaps it would have been easier to stay with Hayden but then I wouldn't have been true to myself". "You have to follow your heart and sadly sometimes that causes trouble. You did that once before and a similar result happened". "Did I?" He asked looking confused. "Matt?". "Oh right, yes true. But I am wondering have I made a mistake?". "Only you can know that. But you were true to yourself this time, which is more than what you did before, I assume Matt was just a first glance interest". "Maybe, I just feel guilty to enjoy happiness". "Why? You didn't seem that bothered with me and Matt?". "Well, I was attracted to him. I thought because it was only a day, how much can you like someone.  Clearly that was wrong but they have been together a while so I feel worst" he explained. "You know I'm here for you," I said softly as I leaned in for a hug wrapping my arms around Hugo. 

We suddenly heard something break outside, "Either that was an accident or Tyrone is about to stab Sam" I commented. "Oh no! Tyrone will want to fight with me after finishing with Sam". "Maybe that sound was what he's going to stab you with then?" I wondered. "That's not funny Jake" Hugo screeched with his hands covering his face. "Sorry". "Do I just apologise and drop this or do I follow my heart and fight for Sam?". "You can't back out now because otherwise you've caused a fight over nothing. At this point they are about to break up anyway. Then you're branded a homewrecker for just doing it for the sake of doing it. Not to mention Sam won't like you for breaking him and Tyrone up and then not being interested after" I explained. 

Suddenly, the patio door slams open, "Christ" I panicked stepping aside to get out of Tyrone's warpath. "f**k you!" Tyrone screamed as Sam came rushing in after him. Tyrone put his arm across the counter and shoved a bunch of items over onto the floor, some broke and spilt over the floor. "b***h! We need to talk" Tyrone said evilly. "This is between us Tyrone" Sam shouted. "It's not! It's about him too!". "That's my cue," I said running to the door to get to safety. "GET BACK HERE!" Tyrone shouted as I stopped at the door turning around. "We need you too!" he snapped. "Why? I'm not relevant!" I said with a calm voice. "You've been giving Hugo advice!". "That doesn't make Jake responsible for the choices I made?" Hugo told him. 

I remembered Colin and George wanted peace in the villa and maybe this was fate telling me this was my chance to try and achieve that. "Fine, let's do this. First things first, Sam you need to choose who it is you want. If you want to be with Tyrone, you need to tell him that and make it publicly known and that means you have to end it with Hugo and make sure he's clear on that. If it is Hugo you want to be with, then you need to make sure Tyrone knows that so that he can move on" I explained taking control of the conversation. "I don't know what I want. I tried committing to Tyrone and making that clear. It's not my fault that Hugo wouldn't give up, if you push someone hard enough they will have doubts". "So your not taking any responsibility?" I said sounding annoyed. "No, I didn't cause this! I'm not going to be forced to make a choice when I'm not ready to" He snapped. Tyrone starts to get upset and wipes his eyes, "the fact there's even a choice to make and you need to think about it, tells me everything I need to know". "Oh so now your upset and that's meant to make me change my mind? After you were just outside screaming at me?". "How dare you assume I'd get upset to manipulate you. This is all your fault Hugo, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't messed with his head!". "I didn't come here to watch someone I fancy walk off into the sunset with someone else. I believe we would make a better couple and I'll fight for that". "And to think I was willing to go back to being friends with you on the grounds you left my relationship alone!". "Babe, you don't get it do you? Your relationship is dying on its own! I'm not doing anything to destroy it". 

Suddenly, someone screams, the sound bellows through the villa. The four of us rush upstairs thinking someone had died or been injured. "What's wrong?" Hugo asked rushing into the bedroom where everyone was gathering. "Tom has a text" Charlie said peacefully. "I thought someone had like died!" Hugo sighed. "Is everyone here? Where's Tyler?" Charlie asked. "He's in the hideaway with George," Hayden told him. "Well we will have to tell them after because this text changes everything!" Charlie said sounding excited. Tom covered his mouth, allowing himself a moment to speak.

Islanders, tomorrow there will be a recoupling. The tops will choose which of the bottoms they want.
