Nalani found herself at the party talking to Witney, Leah, and Charlotte.
"So how was the night with Noah?" Witney asked while adjusting her top.
"Honestly, I thought we would have a little cuddle or a chat, but he literally just came to bed, put a pillow between us, and fell asleep without even saying goodnight," Charlotte said, clearly disappointed in Noah's actions.

''thats my maaaan''She said with the biggest smile on her face
"Oh no, what a shame," Nalani said with fake sympathy, trying to poorly hide her grin behind her drink.
The girls erupted into laughter at her poorly hidden reaction, and even Charlotte couldn't help but chuckle at the situation.
"Yeah, at least now you have confirmation that Noah really likes you," Charlotte said.
I didn't need the confirmation, but okay,Nalani thought while simply nodding at Charlotte's words.
Nalani was about to add something when she noticed Ella's distressed expression. Ella was walking toward the bedroom, nodding at Nalani to follow her. Understanding that something was wrong, Nalani excused herself from the conversation and quickly followed Ella to the bedroom.

"What's wrong, babe?" Nalani said, wiping away Ella's tears.
"It's Tyrique," Ella said, sniffling.
"Again? Seriously,? Is he trying to break some kind of record or something?" Nalani said with wide eyes.
Ella, despite her distress, cracked a small smile at Nalani's unexpected comment.
"But seriously, I was talking to him, and he was laughing at everything I said. It felt like he didn't give a single care," Ella said, wrapped up in Nalani's embrace.
"Yeah, it felt like he kind of dismissed your feelings," Nalani said, playing with Ella's rings.
"Exactly! Like, why is he laughing when I'm talking about my feelings? I just want him to tell me that he is going to focus on me and me only," she quickly added.
Nalani nodded in agreement with a supportive smile. "Yeah, I feel like you need to take some distance from him and then, when you're both calm, communicate better. Even if you want him to focus on you, it's still Love Island, so he's obviously going to talk to other girls. But he needs to do it in a more respectful way and treat you way better. You're too pretty to cry over him every two days."
Ella couldn't help but chuckle at Nalani's reassuring words. "You always know how to make me feel better, Nalani," she said, snuggling closer to Nalani.

"You basically implied that it was meant for Molly," Catherine said to jess, referring to the challenge earlier
"I don't think she's two-faced, and if she was, I would have told her. I think she's been really open about her feelings," Jess said, making Nalani frown.
"Okay, but why are you always throwing shade at her?" Nalani said.
"Yeah, I just feel like you need to cut down on the whispering a bit," Catherine said, backing Nalani.
"I wasn't whispering; it was just a joke with Mitch in the challenge," Jess said.
"It was whispering," Whitney chimed in.
"Yeah, and it's not just in the challenge; it's every day, and it's becoming annoying for everyone. The only one laughing is you and Mitch," Nalani said.
"Yeah, it's giving off a bit of a mean girl vibe," Whitney added, making Nalani agree.
"Okay, I don't want to have this conversation now; it's just winding me up," Jess said, getting upset and leaving, with all the girls, except Nalani, following her.

Mehdi came over to the kitchen to find out what was happening.
"So, what's happening? Why is she crying?" Mehdi asked.
"I don't know; we just told her that she was acting mean toward Molly, that's all, and she started crying," Nalani said.
"She doesn't cry for no reason, though," Mehdi said. Nalani was about to answer when he interrupted her, saying, "There is just one rule in life, and it's to only speak for yourself not others."
"Well, she shouldn't have made jokes about Molly with Mitch, and she wasn't crying about us. She just didn't want to be portrayed as a mean girl," Nalani said, quickly trying to exit the conversation.
"Okay, but if I find out that it was you, Whitney, and Catherine that made her cry, I'm going to be very upset," Mehdi said, making Nalani look at him like he was crazy.
"Oh my God, calm down. What are you, my dad? I don't give two shits about you being upset with me. Who do you think you are?" she said, getting up and leaving.

"Nah, cause who does Mehdi think he is, talking to me like I'm his daughter? Like, what? You must be out of your mind."

After everything that happened tonight, Nalani felt tired and joined the man she now considered her safe spot.
"I missed you; where were you?" Nalani said, dramatically falling onto Noah, who was looking at her with a tired smile and droopy eyes on the daybeds.
"I was talking with Tyrique about his chat with Ella," he said, wrapping his arms around the girl who was resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"Yeah, they need to make up and fuck" Nalani said, chuckling at her own joke, making Noah laugh too.
She then explained what happened with Jess and Mehdi, and that annoyed Noah that Mehdi talked to her like that.
"Don't worry; I will talk to him. You didn't say anything wrong to Jess except the truth. If she can't accept that, that's her problem, not yours," he said, kissing her forehead.
"Exactly," she said, smiling at him.
"You know, I've been thinking," he said, twirling one of her braids around his finger.
Nalani turned to him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What have you been thinking?"
Noah's smile grew wider as he reached for her hand, his fingers interlocking with hers. "I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have you here with me. You make every day on this island better."
Nalani felt her heart swell with warmth. She leaned in closer to him, . "Noah, you make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I can't imagine going through this journey with anyone else." Nalani said, making Noah smile at her with a smile and bringing her closer by her neck and connecting their lips in a passionate kiss.
Nalani quickly got on top of Noah, who put his hands on her hips, squeezing them, making Nalani gasp and Noah smile in the kiss. Nalani was about to move on him when she heard Mitch's annoying voice.
"Come on, lovebirds; we're going to bed," he said with a sly smile, making them pull away and look at each other with a dazed look.

"What a cockblock," with a mug on his face.
Nalani slowly got off Noah and gave him her hand to help him get up. They quickly made their way to the bedroom, with Noah giving Nalani a piggyback ride.
