Lauren's pov:
After we all headed back outside, we all split up and talked for a while in our separate groups. Tommy and I sat on the day bed and looked at the pool when Tommy looked at me "when you get home, what's the first thing you're going to do?"
I sighed and thought about it for a minute "hang out with my brother and hug my dogs."
"You have dogs?" Tommy looked at me as he asked that.
"I do," I spoke smiling as I thought about my fur babies. "I have a black lab named Nyx, and a German shepherd named Nala."
Tommy looked at me "I never asked you this but when Alex and Olivia first met on Love Island, did you like her?"
"I liked her as a person," I spoke smiling a little at the memory. "But I've always been protective of my brother so it took a little longer for me to like her with my brother but it happened pretty fast just by seeing them together and how they acted with each other."
Tommy nodded at that "so it only took you a couple of weeks to like her with your brother?"
"Less than that," I spoke playing with my glass of wine. "I think it took me like a week to see that she was really good for him."
Talking about my brother's season of Love Island makes me miss him a lot more because I am constantly thinking about him. I can't wait to go home and see him again.
We all headed to bed and I wrapped myself in Tommy's arms after brushing my teeth and putting my hair in a braid. We all fell asleep exhausted from losing Michael and Francesca which made it hard to sleep.
I woke up the next morning to rustling sounds as everyone got up and out of bed.
I slept absolutely awful last night. It was probably the worst that I had ever slept and I think it's because I'm seriously homesick.
Tommy pulled me over to him as I tried to get out of bed which made me laugh out loud. He wrapped his arms around me which made me smile as I buried my face in the crook of his neck.
I laughed as Tommy tickled me as I got out of bed before I headed to the dressing room with Maura. I quickly threw my hair into a high bun before I got dressed for the day in a white bikini and finished putting on my sunscreen.
I headed outside and filled my water bottle and smiled as I saw Ovie and India cooking breakfast for themselves and everyone else. Once we ate breakfast, we all separated and I ended up on the loungers with Maura and Anna. We then heard a phone beep and Chris yelled "I got a text."
We all looked at him as he read it out "Chris and Harley, you're heading out on your first date. Please get ready to leave the villa. #dontbekneady #bakinglove"
We all cheered for them as all of us girls helped Harley pick out her outfit for the date. We smiled as they headed out of the villa before I sat on the swing with my water bottle. I was then joined by Maura who just hung out with me as neither of us really felt like talking.
I hope that Chris and Harley are having a great time on their date. It sounded like they were going to be making bread so that sounds like that would be fun.
Suddenly Chris and Harley came back just in time for Amber to get a text "BREAKING NEWS. Islanders, it's time to find out who has hit the headlines in today's challenge. #fakenews #sidebarofshame"
Tommy immediately pulled me into him as I wrapped my legs around his waist and he walked us back to the loungers. Tommy looked at me "you're nervous aren't you?"
"Yeah," I spoke looking at him. "Aren't you? I mean they've probably interviewed our families and whatever so."
Tommy sighed "I'm not nervous. I obviously care about what our families say but other than that I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks." I nodded before we both stood up and he spoke "you and me."
"Forever," I nodded as I hugged him.
I'm more nervous about what my brother is going to say but I really don't give a fuck about anyone else. But yeah, Tommy just made me feel so much better.
We headed to the challenge as Chris and Harley hosted. One of us was going to stand up as either Chris or Harley read the headline then that person was going to take the cup of water and splash the islander or islanders they thought it was about. Tommy stood up first and Chris read "blank's mum can see her having a romantic spark with blank."
Tommy splashed Amber and Ovie before Chris revealed: "Amber's mum can see her having a romantic spark with Ovie." We all cheered for that as Tommy came back and sat next to me.
I stood up next as Harley read "Love Lie Land: blank's relationship with blank is "staged and fake" claim love island viewers after she falls for his "manly" charms." As soon as she finished I immediately knew who it was about as I grabbed two drinks and dumped the first on Maura and the second on Curtis which was revealed to be right.
How in the hell do they think that Maura and Curtis's relationship is fake? The two literally cannot stop touching each other.
I sat down next to Tommy again who slipped his hand into mine. Ovie was next and Chris read "Love Island viewers are left cringing as blank and blank go fifty shades of grey." I knew who that was about as well. Ovie took two drinks and splashed both Anna and Ovie which was correct.
Harley stood at the bar next as Chris read "Bummy Dearest: blank's mum shows off the razor she uses to shave the love island star's bum as she gains blank Instagram followers in 24 hours." Harley splashed Anton and he was absolutely drenched but it was correct which made all of us laugh.
Anna was up next as Harley read "Love Island fans accuse blank of only liking blank to win the 50k pound prize." Anna walked over and splashed Maura and Curtis which made me and Tommy look at each other. It was then revealed to be India and Ovie.
Curtis went next as Harley read "Blank's older brother states that he misjudged blank and is happy his sister has found someone who loves her unconditionally." I hoped that one was Alex but I wouldn't know until it was revealed. Curtis grabbed two drinks and splashed the first one on me and the second one on Tommy.
Harley then revealed, "Lauren's older brother states that he misjudged Tommy and is happy his sister has found someone who loves her unconditionally." I smiled at that before I squeezed Tommy's hand glad that Alex had changed his mind.
I'm glad that Alex changed his mind about Tommy and now approves of him from what it sounds like.
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🤎 🖤
Tommy's pov:
We all headed to get ready for the night after the challenge and I could tell that some of the guys definitely had their feathers ruffled by the challenge. I just got dressed in a pair of jeans and a white top before heading outside waiting for the girls.
Lauren came out with her hair in a french braid down her back and in a pair of black pants with a black mesh top and heels.
I smiled as she hugged me and I pecked her forehead before we met with the others at the bar. We were all making fun of each other especially Curtis who kept going around asking if he was manly or not.
I looked at Lauren "Ovie, and Anton are definitely feeling a little ruffled by this thing."
"So are Belle and India," Lauren spoke as she took a sip of her wine. "They were essentially ranting in the dressing room. Theirs were really the only ones other than Maura's that were negative." I nodded "I'm just glad my brother has come around."
"Me too," I chuckled but my voice was betraying my relief. "I was worried after his tweet but I'm glad he approves." She smiled and kissed me before pulling back and hugging me.
It definitely takes a massive weight off my chest that the person closest to my girlfriend has said such a nice thing about us and seems to approve of me.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of arguing and we both turned to see Harley and Chris arguing before Harley walked away as all of us stared at them wondering what in the fuck just happened?
