****Georgia's POV****
"Are you alright?" Maura questioned with that smug look on her face. "Just I was having a great time chatting to Tommy and you kind of interrupted it."
"Look I don't want to argue but just know that things are going to be different from now because I'm not giving up on this. You might think you're everything but I have something about me too and I do really like that guy."
"I don't see you as completion in all honesty. If he wanted you he wouldn't have been so attracted to me."
"Then it's my problem to make sure he knows it's me he wants." I looked around and found him watching with Lucie. "Hope you had a good night last night babe, just I heard you two had a little kiss."
"Like you had a better night, he only slept in the same bed as you as the sofa was uncomfortable."
"Can you keep a secret?" I whispered. "Not only was my sleep amazing but the kiss we shared was as well."
I'm going to be honest I have really struggled in here with confidence, I really don't know where that came from. I'm not usually a bitter person but it was just all the emotion coming from me.
I then stood up and walked off to where they were sat on the sofa bed.
"What went on there?" Lucie asked.
"I just had something to say to her. Let's just say she chose the wrong person to compete with."
"Where's this come from?" Tommy asked and pulled me down to lie with him.
"Just a little pep talk from Amber, I like you and I'm not just going to back down anymore and watch you two crack on together."
"I like this version." He wrapped his arms around me. "What else did you say?"
"I may have been a bit gloat full about you getting into bed with me last night and mentioned the kiss she wanted. She didn't think I was competition though."
"Just have to wait and see won't we. I don't think it will be long before we have to recouple again."
"Better make the right decision then hun. No second chances."

I was on the daybed later with Lucie and Danny when Maura got a text.
"Girls its time to pop on your wedding dresses and say I do in today's challenge. #bridezillas."
We all got changed into our bridesmaids dresses and made our way to the challenge area. The first round was the girls had to pull their boys across a platform and then kiss them at the end, putting a ring on their finger. I was not in the first round but Maura had chosen him to be her partner.
"Come on girls." I shouted as Molly was really struggling with Anton.
Maura and Tommy got there third, behind Yewande and Lucie with their partners. But what really shocked me was her pulling Tommy into a kiss, they both just went on for ages, I thought I was going to have to look away.
"I mean can they not." I whispered to Amber.
"She doesn't care babe."
I was up in the next round and had was up against Elma and Anton, Amy and Curtis and Amber and Michael.
"Babe tense your stomach and go." Tommy told me and I was actually surprised at how fast I was. We made it through in second place after Amber and Michael. "Come here then."
We shared a little kiss but I wasn't comfortable kissing for longer with everyone watching. The next round we all had to take part in a good fight, which was so much fun.
"Watch out." Maura said and splashed her drink all over me. "Oops."
"Sorry hun." I said and whacked a cake all down her dress. "Lovely look it suits you."
I looked over and found Amy and Lucie were proper going into each other, it may have looked like fun but they both just wouldn't stop.
"Sorry babe." Amber said and squirted ketchup all over my dress. "Love it."
"You're so getting it now." I joked and pulled out my mustard all over her. "Who's laughing now?"
"Me." We heard and then felt Yewande smack a cake on our heads. "Sorry girls."
Our time was up and we all made our way to the front. The winner was going to be decided by who had the cleanest dress.
"And the winner is Yewande."
I swear if this is what my wedding is going to turn out like then I'm not going. That was carnage.
*****
We made our way back to the villa and I don't know why but none of us got changed. I was sat with all the girls, except from Lucie who was over with the boys with Maura.
"Did you see Lucie going for me?" Amy asked. "Like I just thought it was a bit of fun but she proper went for me."
"I could see."
"Like I thought we squashed the whole thing yesterday so I don't know why she felt the need to do that." Amy said and then went inside so Lucie and Maura came over.
"Why are you lot like barely covered?" Lucie asked.
"It was quite intense between you and Amy." Elma said.
"It was just funny."
"But I thought you two squashed it yesterday."
"It's a challenge we all had to do it." Maura said.
"It's just meant to be funny. It's a food fight."
"Not when she's crying inside it's not funny then." Amber commented. "That's not funny."
"I didn't know. I'll speak to her when she comes back."
"Look let's all just leave it to them." I said. "Lucie you do need to speak to her though. I think she's just misread the situation."
"I will do. I wouldn't want to hurt her intentionally and I'll say sorry if I have."
****
I got changed for the evening into my little silk dress.
I made my way down and found a big group in the kitchen which included Tommy so I made my way over.
"Babe you look stunning." Amber said so everyone turned to me. "Babe is turn for you."
"Thanks."
"Babe do you think we could have a chat?" Tommy asked me.
"Sure." We made our way over to the daybed and got underneath the covers. "Is everything alright?"
"I just wanted to make sure you're ok after the challenge this afternoon. I know Maura and I had a kiss."
"I was annoyed I'm not going to lie but I think it was just because you seemed to have no shame doing it in front of me. Like it was so awkward for me to watch."
"The problem was that I didn't want to Exactly pie her and it was a part of the challenge so I had to do it. I'll apologise for how long it was though."
"Was it a good kiss?" I asked.
"Maybe not as good as yours." He pulled me into him. "I saw you two going at each other in the challenge."
"Just has to show her who's boss in here and maybe it was nice seeing her in a spoiled dress."
"You looked good though."
"Shame we're not getting married anytime soon." I winked at him. "It'll be a long time before I'm dressed like that again."
"Don't I know it."
*****
I was getting ready for bed later on when I found Lucie alone on the balcony.
"You ok hun?" I asked.
"No. Joe just told me that he finds it weird that I'm so close to Tommy and that I'm not with the girls all the time."
"I'll admit you and Tommy are close but some girls just don't like hanging around with other girls and I respect that."
"Like I've got you and Molly but I just feel like there's something that a guy friend brings as well."
"I understand. I did mainly hang around with guys in high school and they offered me so much support."
"Exactly and Tommy needs the help as well."
"Of course. We've put him in this position me and Maura, he needs someone's opinion on what to do." I told her. "Look if you believe there's nothing wrong with this then carry on."
"But I like Joe as well and I don't want to push him away."
"If he's truly the one for you, he'll want to be with you regardless of who else you hang around with."
"I hope so." She said and pulled me in for a hug. "You seem better today."
"I am. I've got my confidence back and no ones going to stop me now."
"Secretly I do think Tommy's going to pick you." She said. "I just think he doesn't want to admit it yet."
"I hope so."
We made our way inside and I got changed before making my way into bed. Tommy was already there which was nice.
"Sleeping here today?"
"Of course I am." He pulled me into him and made me the little spoon. "See you tomorrow."
"Night." I leaned back to give him a peck. "Don't let her sneak in tonight."
"I won't let her."
****
The next morning I went straight out as literally everyone had already made their way out except from Maura and Elma.
"Are you alright lovely?" Elma asked.
"I'm fine thank you." I replied as I got changed. "How are you and Anton?"
"We're good thank you. Just getting to know each other more."
"Do you like him?"
"I think I'm liking him more every day. I can even understand his accent now which I could do at the start."
"He's so nice. I think you suit each other."
"Thank you."
The morning flew by pretty quickly and as we were all sitting out in the garden Elma got a text.
"Islanders tonight there will be a recoupling in which the boys will choose who they want to couple up with. #nomoreshapes."
"I can't cope with this." I groaned and lent back into Amber. "I thought we were getting on fine but tonight could mess it all up."
"I'm going to be honest. If he thinks with his dick he'll pick her, if he goes with his head and heart he'll pick you."
"Let's hope he's a smart boy tonight then."
We moved over to the daybeds and I noticed Maura came over with an ice lolly, which she was sucking a bit suggestively. I could see her making eye contact with Tommy and it was messing with my head.
"How can I compete with that?" I asked Amy. "I mean I'm not going to be that straight up with him."
"Yeah but if he's looking at his long term future then you're the obvious choice. Just because you don't put out in the first minute doesn't mean you're not for him."
"Exactly. It's just not in me to do that."
"Don't change for him babe because then you'll be just the same as her. You have your own selling points."
"I hope he can see them though."
****
That night I definitely went for sexy. I chose a white dress which definitely showed off my assets, if he needed a bit of extra persuasion this is it.
"Are you nervous?" Lucie asked as we made our way down.
"He's probably chosen by now and I know I can't change that. I don't think it's going to be good."
"Babe He doesn't know what he's going to do yet." Michael said as he passed us. "He said he'll choose at the time."
"He's just so unpredictable. I don't know what he's going to do." Amber said. "It'll be a shame if he picks her though."
After standing around for a few minutes Curtis got a text. "Can all Islanders father around the fire pit immediately."
All us girls stood at the front as the guys went and sat around the fire pit. Up first was Danny.
"I would like to couple up with this girl because ever since I've come in here we've just had this instant attraction. She has great qualities both inside and out. She definitely ticks all my boxes and whenever I'm around her there's just this contagious energy she gives out. So the girl I would like to couple up with is Yewande."
Then it was Michael. "So I want to couple up with this girl because we have this connection. She makes me laugh so much and it's just effortless to be around her and be entertained. She's also gorgeous. So the girl I would like to couple up with is Amber."
Curtis was then up and coupled up with Amy and Joe followed with Lucie.
Anton then went. "I would like to couple up with this girl because every since she's come into the villa she's made me smile and laugh. We have a genuine connection and I want to see if anything could progress there. So the girl I want to couple up with is Elma."
That just left Tommy to choose between Maura, Molly-Mae and I. He stood up and I could see he was shaking.
"I want to couple up with this girl because she makes me smile like no one else can in here and I know we have a genuine connection together. I know things have been tough these past couple of days but all I can go with is my gut and I hope it's right this time." He's going to pick Maura I know he is. "So I want to couple up with Georgia."
"Thank you so much." I said and pulled him into a hug. "I promise you won't regret it. We can do this."
"I know we can." He sealed his lips onto mine. "We're in this together."
"Good."
That left Molly and Maura stood up there when Maura got a text. "Molly and Maura you're going on dates with Jordan and Tom. Please get ready to leave the villa."
"See you later." I shouted to them.
Curtis then got a text. "Islanders tonight the remaining couples will vote for the two couples they believe are the least compatible. The two with the most votes risk being dumped from the island."
"Shit."
