#frankie & adela.

[bluemmings]

@absolutesort​ // frankie&&adela.

adela chats up girls way differently than she chats up guys, and while frankie definitely seems like someone she could have a fun evening with, she’s just trying to work out if she’d manage to be brought back by her. she doesn’t mind being a regrettable mistake for her to have to cry about and run back to callie once this is all over, but she’s in here for something sure. she needs to know that by the end of this, she’s making her way back to the main villa. “ hey, frankie. ” adela smiles, lifting her shades to rest upon her head. “ d’you fancy a drink ? i’m not the best mixologist in the world, but i’ll get you drunk, soo... same thing, right ? ”

[absolutesort]

date :  day thirty-two   /   ten or eleven in’t morning.  

location :  outside, day beds again bc im uncreative

featuring :   adela  /   @bluemmings​

         “ so... i feel like you’re still avoiding me... ”  frankie states, little by way of introduction when she drops down onto the day bed beside adela, armed with a cocktail in each hand. who cares if it’s not even noon yet — after the night she’d had, she needs it. and probably, so does adela, considering she’s managed to come back to the main villa tangled up in the politics of frankie, bash, and now dylan, too, which is honestly pretty impressive.  “ it’s okay if you are. like, i get it. ”  frankie hands her a sex on the beach — strong, and an intentional nod to their first talk. her intention with this is closure, the kind that leaves no room for misinterpretation or the jagged edges of snubbed feelings. adela’s hot, she’s a good kisser, and maybe if they’d met outside of the villa they’d be able to become more than they briefly were, but the reality is frankie handled the situation with naomi badly by assuming it wasn’t one. she’s impulsive, and flirty, but in a place like this that shit gets you into trouble. one moment you’re casually telling someone you have a crush, the next you’re getting your throat torn out for being a dirty cheat. it’s got her spinning out, and it only makes her want to hold onto miles even tighter. she wants to do things the right way this time, cut them off before they have a chance to hatch, so that she doesn’t have to do the whole four-relationships thing like callie. or five now, she guesses. “ i just don’t want us to go back to how it was at the start of casa, when it felt like we were super competitive for no reason. i liked having you as a friend, adela. i think you’re so fun, and like, i still want that, if you’re game... but if not then i guess just knowing you don’t hate me would be cool. ”  because right now, the number of people on frankie’s five-a-side team is looking pretty low.

where: kitchen

when: day 41

who: jenny & adela

toward they end they had managed a tentative truce, but jenny had never really been close with frankie. it’s almost surprising that so many people are moping around in her absence—that apparently she is capable of keeping her foot out of her mouth—but she can’t help the pang of jealousy that the ones mourning frankie are the same ones that can’t really stand her—dylan, adela, josh and probably miles now too. what did frankie have that she didn’t? then again, which one of them was sent packing? “you doing okay?” she asks carefully, dumping a second shot of espresso into her iced coffee and tapping the ice with her pinky in lieu of stirring. “i know you casa people were all pretty close.” @bluemmings​

[cruelsxmmcr]

when & where: day forty-one / late afternoon / lounge

“Did you expect how the dumping went last night? I didn’t,” he says, sitting next to Naomi. Losing Romi and Frankie right after each other is cruel, and Evie walking when she had only been here a few days was surprising too. Public votes are always odd for Dylan, in the sense that they gave him insights on their opinions and some tend to be shocking for him. However, regardless of that, he’s relieved him and Adela were saved, a far cry from when they were voted vulnerable during the last couple vote. || @heatwayve​

[inquixotic]

EXIT INTERVIEW: MALI WATTAPOHN.

did you see that dumping coming at all?

“haha, very funny.” she’s done very good at being strong ‘til now, with wanting to be sure the other villa knew adela was playing games before she goes, but it’s sort of sinking in now and the heaviness in their chest is pressing. “yes, i did. josh is the strongest connection i made other than phoebe, and he told me he wasn’t bringing me back a few times. i knew going into it what the outcome would be for me.” 

do you think you deserved to stick around?

“i don’t know about deserve, or even want.” it’s the honest truth for them. “i wouldn’t want someone to bring me back as a friend, and it was pretty clear i wouldn’t be staying in any sort of romantic sense, with naomi being such a big unknown. so i think my time ending here makes sense.” 

is there anything you would’ve done differently on the inside?

“perhaps if i hadn’t talked to josh, had such a good vibe with him, i could’ve cracked on better with marcus, but...i don’t think i regret it, exactly. i don’t think i’d change anything i did.” 

is there anyone else you would’ve liked to see leave instead?

“not really. i wish i was the only one going. but honestly?” there’s a slight crack in her composure and she pauses to grit her teeth and smile. “i hope josh goes next, selfishly. i don’t know that i’ll be tuning into the rest to find out.” 

do you think any of the current couples have a shot at making it to the end? who would you like to see win?

“i hope marcus and romi can work it out, if his feelings are strong enough to leave val behind for. i really thought their connection was something good. i think, if i had to pick, i’d choose them or frankie and miles. i don’t know the other couples well enough, since it seems like the rest chose not to stick.” 

who do you think you’ll stay friends with after leaving the villa?

“i am taking phoebe on a trip anywhere she likes, on me.” the streak of stubbornness is back. dylan can say he didn’t mean to play her, but she’s not looking to buy anything he has to say after choosing her as his favorite bombshell in all of the challenges. “val and i, too, maybe. the others...i don’t know. i’d like to think frankie would still like to be my friend after this, too, but i’m not holding my breath either.” 

anything else you’d like to add about your time in the villa?

“i know twitter probably thinks i’m a complete moron for how i played that, should they choose to view it as a game, but all i wanted was something good. even if i think i might’ve found it, it doesn’t really matter if he doesn’t agree.” she will not cry over a stupid boy on tv, it’s against her ethics, thank you very much, but their smile is faltering a little. “i didn’t say much at the fire pit regarding him because i don’t want to be the reason things are harder than they need to be on him. or, more of the reason, i guess.” there’s no way it doesn’t come up that he fucked her, unfortunately for him. “i’m sure adela’s petty enough to try to exact some kind of revenge through him, but that says more about her than it does about me, frankly. if she does, i hope he won’t hold that against me. that’s all i can do.”

BEACH HUT CONFESSIONALS 11: JOSHUA VARGAS DAY THIRTY-ONE ( CASA DAY 4 )

what are you most looking forward to about reuniting with the other villa ?   what are you dreading the most ?

“ oh man, i’m kinda going crazy right now, ”   josh laughs.   “ i was excited when i first heard the text, because obviously i’ve been talking about finally getting to talk things out with naomi for days now. but... it’s not going to be easy, either. for all i know she could be coming back with someone. hell, she probably is coming back with someone, knowing her. so that won’t be easy, but i’m also looking forward to it too ?   i don’t know. i’m definitely excited to see romi again though, i’ve missed her like mad. rhys too, i hope he’s got a nice guy or girl or whatever coming back with him. the guy deserves it. i’m... not looking forward to seeing jenny again, honestly. ”   josh rubs the back of his neck.   “ it’s been easy to ignore the way things left off with us while she’s been gone, but i actually don’t know where her head’s at. i’m assuming she’s bringing someone back too, but that doesn’t mean things between us are finished. i mean, for me they are. they have to be. yeah. ”

if you were to stick, why would you ?   why would you consider switching ?

“ i don’t know, y’know. i think everyone at this point in casa knows that i want to be with naomi, but there’s no ignoring that she’s probably bringing some dude back. plus after sleeping with mali on night one, i doubt she’s going to be able to suddenly trust me again. and then there’s the whole dylan thing, so... it would be smart to bring someone back, just in case. i’m trying to figure out if i should be game playing here—because everything’s a game with naomi—or just shoot my shot, even if it means getting dumped. ” 

if none of the bombshells could come back, who would you miss most ?

“ layla, for sure. i think if i were to bring anyone back right now, it’s gonna be her. though, to be honest, i do think phoebe deserves a shot too. i don’t know what happened between her and dylan yesterday, but she seems really upset, and she’s a sweet girl. even if she did friendzone me. and then miles, obviously, ”   josh laughs.   “ if frankie doesn’t bring him back, i just might do it myself. he’s a really good dude, reminds me of my friends back home. i haven’t had a friend like that here since luke, so it’s been nice. a highlight of casa. ”   he pauses.   “ i’ll probably miss mali too, even though i know how that sounds. i don’t know, maybe i should be bringing her back out of anyone. ”

what conversations do you need to have most when you reunite ?

“ besides the obvious ? ”   he laughs.   “ no, i’ll probably wait to see if dylan and naomi are gonna hash their shit out immediately, otherwise pull naomi first. i think the longer we go without talking, i’ll start breaking out into hives. jenny will have to come eventually too, but... that one can wait a bit longer. ”

what are you feeling about the decisions of the other islanders ?   who do you think has made the best connection ?

“ the best connection is frankie and miles, for sure. i really should’ve voted them for the hideaway. dylan feels like a waste of a vote now. but there’s no way she’s not bringing him back. i guess i should say val and marcus too, since they’ve been all over each other this entire time, but i don’t know. i’m biased, but i think if marcus brings val back, it’s just delaying the inevitable about him and romi getting back together. i still don’t love the way their relationship ended, on both of them, but there’s no way they’re ending this thing with other people. i think he should come back single for romi. ”   josh shrugs.   “ dylan, well. who knows what he’s thinking. i’m assuming he’s bringing back adela at this point, since he’s moved from phoebe to her in twenty-four hours. they seem into each other, so hey, good for them. it’ll be good to keep adela around, although i don’t love the idea of her and naomi talking about me. i just hope he doesn’t come back single. like, he’d be an idiot for that, and it might make me have to rethink what the hell i’m doing. it’d be naive to think what dylan does won’t affect me. but who knows—if he doesn’t bring back adela, maybe i’ll have to do it myself. ”

[xoxophoebes]

”will this be over in time for me to get dinner at a nice restaurant later?” 

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE RECOUPLING TONIGHT?

“i’m feeling alright, honestly. i know that i was being sad and mopey last night but if it isn’t in the cards for me to stay then it’s not for me. besides, maybe i’ll go on a cruise after this or something to get my mind off of everything.” 

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU’LL BE BROUGHT BACK? BY WHO?

“of course, not! that’s pretty much been confirmed to me now.” 

DO YOU THINK YOU’VE MADE STRONG CONNECTIONS IN THE VILLA?

”absolutely, that has been my favorite part of being here. i feel very close to mali, i’m sure that’s obvious. i really do hope that the two of us can still be friends after the show is over because i enjoy being around her and i think that she enjoys being around me, too. josh has been very nice to me as well but i think that’s just because he felt bad for me.” 

IF YOU DON’T COME BACK TO THE VILLA, WHICH ISLANDER WOULD YOU MISS THE MOST?

“i would miss mali the most.” there’s no universe in which phoebe believes that mali wouldn’t get picked unless all of these people are dumber than she is. "frankie and josh, too, but she’s basically my best friend here.” 

WHO WOULD YOU BE THE MOST EXCITED TO MEET FROM THE OPPOSITE VILLA?

“i would love to meet jenny and ask her who does her hair, her roots are absolutely never showing and i’m jealous.” 

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE ODDS OF YOUR OTHER BOMBSHELLS? WHO DO YOU THINK HAS MADE THE BEST CONNECTIONS?

“i think dylan is definitely going to pick adela and i’m happy for her, i know she really wanted to get picked. i hope mali gets picked as well. i said from the beginning that both adela and mali know how to play the game way better than i ever could so those two just wouldn’t be surprising. i’m sure miles is going back with frankie, i know that he really wanted to get picked, too. i’m glad i’ll get to watch him on tv from now on, though, i’ll definitely be rooting for the two of them. if i’m being honest, i can see all of them having great odds and i’ll be their biggest cheerleader on the outside.” 

[crackonhq]

IT’S THE LOVE ISLAND FINALE!!!!! 

for the finale, i took the TOP FOUR couples from our vote and threw out the rest, so there were still 8 characters left standing when the winners were announced. your final four are:

naomi & josh

jenny & jude

callie & angel

adela & dylan

IN FOURTH PLACE...

adela and dylan received 16% of the vote. adela and dylan had a rocky start when they met in casa while dylan was still coupled up with naomi. he had options, but couldn’t deny the chemistry he had with adela, and chose to bring her back because he felt like they had a shot at romance. they’ve stuck it out ‘til the final, and we wish them the best in continuing their romance in the real world !

IN THIRD PLACE...

jenny and jude received 24% of the vote. jenny and jude both explored in casa before realizing that they couldn’t deny their feelings and that it was going to work best with each other. jenny was coupled up with josh, but they left things on uncertain terms when she brought back jude from casa. a couple weeks later, jude asked jenny to be his girlfriend on the boat cruise and the two have been attached at the hip since. 

IN SECOND PLACE...

naomi and josh received 28% of the vote. naomi and josh were first coupled up on day two when she stole him from his day one couple. while they continued to gravitate toward each other as new bombshells entered the villa, the decision to explore other options broke them up before the start to casa amor. josh returned from the other villa intent on winning naomi back, and the couple made things official after movie night. now they’ll be making the return flight to canada as a couple. 

IN FIRST PLACE...

angel and callie recieved 32% of the vote. angel and callie got together in casa amor. callie was coupled up with frankie at the time, but decided to give angel a chance while she was feeling uncertain about her potential with frankie. callie’s connection with angel proved to be too strong to ignore, and she brought him back to the villa with the intention of focusing on him. the two have been completely about each other since, and angel popped the ( girlfriend ) question just before their last week together in the villa. now they won’t just be going home in a relationship, but they’ll be taking $50,000 with them. 

congratulations to our winners, all our happy couples, and thanks for a great season !!

𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐲  ;    ʙᴇᴀᴄʜ ʜᴜᴛ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛ #5 !

how are you feeling in your decision to couple up or stay single ?

  “ didn’t really have much choice in the matter ! ”  he laughs, feeling like a cuck, because the power really was all in jenny’s hands for that one.  “ but i’m glad jenny picked me. obviously, there’s stuff she needs to work through with josh, and that’s fine. i don’t like seeing them chat, but i also don’t see it being a problem ? at the end of the day, she got the better bloke, ”  he grins, cheekily jerking his thumb in his own direction, “ and josh seems fully into naomi, which works for me obviously, so yeah. feeling pretty happy. ”

are you happy in your couple or do you think your head could be turned ?

 “ i don’t see my head turning at this point, nah. i mean maybe someone more my type would come in, and maybe i’d have a better time with them, sure, but i don’t really care about that too much. i’m chilling with jenny. staying in my lane. me and angel’s new motto is no trouble, and that’s kinda what i’m trying to do. just keep my head down. obviously jenny makes that hard sometimes, squaring up to people left and right, but i’d be lying if i said it wasn’t cute. she’s fiery. i like that. but then again, i thought my head wouldn’t be turned from romi, so never say never.  ”

what are your thoughts on seb & bash & rhys’ exit last night ? why did you vote the way you did ?

 “ obviously it’s sad when people go. rhys was always a decent geezer to me, and bash seemed like a fun guy. seb and i never really got too close, but he seemed alright. i don’t really have too much of an opinion, but i know it affected jenny a lot seeing them go, especially rhys... so yeah, just gotta be there for her i guess. ”

out of everyone left, who would be the hardest person to see go ?

  “ obviously jenny. but unless it was one of those save one half of a couple, send the other half home type deals, i don’t see why that would happen. and realistically, she’d get saved over me. angel would probably be the hardest to see go. like, that’s my boy. ”  angel’s probably the only person, other than jenny, who jude would consider leaving with. though honestly having an all-expenses-paid holiday would probably win out.  “ charlene’s a top lass. if she left without finding anything, it’d be a crying shame. in a weird way, i’d miss dante, too ? i know we had our shit in casa but he’s grown on me. and i probably have to say callie, too, ‘cos that’s angel’s bird. ”

who seems like the strongest couple right now and why ?

“ other than me and jen ? ”  he laughs, self-consciously. “ nah, i’m kidding. angel and callie are solid as fuck. i know there was some kinda drama last night, but honesty, bro, i think they’re golden. if anyone can make it, it’s probably them. ”

who seems like the weakest couple right now and why ?    

“ josh and marcus ?  are they technically a couple ?  i don’t know, maybe frankie and her man since she apparently she was planting the moves on her ex.  romi and dante don’t seem too strong either, just based on what i’ve seen. or maybe adela and dylan. everyone i’ve spoken to seems under the impression that she used him as a free ticket back to the villa, which fair play to her, but kinda sus. plus they were in the bottom two, so... yeah, pretty much all of them are wobbly, man. ”

[heatwayve]

day 39 beach hut : miles.

how are you feeling about movie night ? did anything surprise you ?

“ frankie’s tape was the only one that didn’t surprise me, if we’re talkin’ movies. i knew what to expect, basically. but dante ! dropping the l-bomb and then that brutal rejection ? my god. give the man an oscar. was a bit sick of seeing josh and adela’s faces by the end of it, though, ” he jokes. “ i guess that’s what really stung about what went down, because we should’ve been in a good place where nothing could fuck with us, but i was just completely off about where her head was really at. ”

what are your thoughts on romi and marcus’s decision to leave ?

“ never spoke to romi much, but they were fit. tough to lose a sight like that. gonna miss marcus, though, he was loads of fun, always down for messing about in the villa and we had a lot of fun times. hope he’s doing good on the outside. ” miles waves at the camera, “ hi marcus. ”

are you happy in your couple or do you think your head could be turned ?

“ huh. question of the hour, isn’t it ? ” there’s a wry smile on miles’ lips, but his eyes look sad. “ i dunno. i hope i did the right thing last night. it just felt like we were kind of on the same page about wanting to focus on each other – and it’s not just the fact that frankie said that to callie, it’s the fact that she immediately said she wanted to go all in on me right after. it didn’t make me feel good, and i think saying yes wouldn’t have been fair, to either of us. i think angel was right, ” that frankie doesn’t yet know what she wants. “ so, yeah, we’ll see how these next few days go. i don’t wanna say that my head couldn’t be turned, ‘cause . . . realistically it’s possible, yeah. last night was rough, and i’m not even sure she got what i was saying. time’s gonna tell, yeah. ”

what are your thoughts on santiago and victoria ? are either of them your type ? do you think your partner would be interested in them ?

“ victoria’s fit, yeah, but i don’t think i’m her type. she and frankie seemed to have a good date, though, so maybe they’ll chat more now, ” he says this tersely, without much emotion. “ santiago, though . . . that’s a bit of me, for sure. but i can’t imagine him lookin’ at me after he’s had an afternoon with miss jenny. ”

are you grafting right now ? if so, who is at the top of your list ?

“ am i grafting ? hell, maybe. i thought i was done with that shit ! ” he laughs, exasperated. “ like, just a little, though. think i’m just gonna give myself a fair shot, just hope it doesn’t bite me in the ass. ”

[properbantz]

BEACH HUT CONFESSIONALS 001 — EDEN FOSTER

BOMBSHELL ENTRANCE:

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT ENTERING THE VILLA? 

“ oh i’m absolutely stoked. i saw callie on the show and thought like, now there’s a girl with an idea. ”  her smile widens and she leans forward in the chair.  “ like i know i should be nervous or something but i’m just not y’know? ”  it helps that she’s used to a sort of reality tv type beat. talking in front of a camera is comfortable at this point given interviews or her family’s little day in the life show.  “ the camera’s don’t really faze me or anything and i’ve done this long enough not to like.. have a total freak out like that one guy with the hair, reece? or the boxer trying to throw his dick everywhere? or the other blonde? jenny’s an absolute dream but she’s gotta work on grounding breathing exercises. really, i’m just here to have a good time and whatever it is at the end of the day that’s that. ”  eden shrugs, bright smile returning to her features.  “ like obviously i’m hoping to find someone grand but i’m also being realistic. shoot for the moon, yeah? stars are pretty too. ” 

IS THERE ANYONE WHO YOU HAD YOUR EYE ON ALREADY OR HAS CAUGHT YOUR EYE OFF THE BAT THAT YOU’D BE INTERESTED IN GOING FOR? 

“ oh definitely. ” her expression twist as if she’s asking ‘are you serious?’  “ yeah a lot of the islanders already seem pretty ace. i’ve got a few that i’m looking forward to pulling for a chat before others, like miles, frankie, adela, but i’m keen on getting a chat in with everybody. not because i’m desperate or anything, ”  she laughs, pointing at the producers behind the camera,  “ but how else are you going to know if you’ve got chemistry with someone if you don’t even try to entertain a conversation? how do you know there’s not that spark or fireworks if you don’t go for the kiss? ”   

WHICH COUPLES SEEM THE MOST SOLID TO YOU? LEAST SOLID? 

her nose scrunches, clearly not wanting to answer this question and not having a good answer for it either.  “ none of them? ”  she feels bad saying that, but all of these couples seem so shaken around.  “ i mean if you want to get into it i guess angel and callie have got a really good thing going? but something about callie and frankie feels severely unfinished, like if they don’t get it out now they’re going to end up doing something they regret later or hurting their partners. like not intentionally, but that original fire pit just felt... intense. even in here, you don’t react that way to someone you’re over. i think jude and jenny are sweet. i’d like to see them succeed, i think he’s sweet to her despite the fact he looks like he would kill a pair of tracky daks. you think he owns ‘em? ” 

WHAT PEOPLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF GETTING ALONG WITH?

“ overly optimistic to say everyone, like i’m being thrown into the lion’s den here, but that’s not unfamiliar in the slightest. plus i know cal, she and i ran in a pretty similar circle a while back. ”  her tone’s light, teasing. who would she be if she didn’t make some sort of wild animal reference right out the gate?  “ i’m gonna have to put a little more thought into what comes out of my mouth from time to time but i just call it like i see it. i’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, the last thing i wanna do is make anyone upset. so like... that’s gonna be the thing. i hope i get on with angel and charlene. they seem like a good time, dante and jude maybe? ” 

WHAT PEOPLE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF NOT GETTING ALONG WITH? 

“ i’m not like hoping to go in making enemies. that’s not my speed. ”  she tries to make this aggressively clear,  “ but maybe dylan? maybe. which is like wild considering that’s another true blue right there but i think he just takes himself so seriously and i’m not really about that. but i hope that’s not the case. um... i don’t really know how it’ll go with josh. or naomi.  i don’t want to get sucked into that whirlpool of a mess just by being in their sheer proximity so maybe i’ll stay away from that with no less than a six foot pole. ” 

[bluemmings]

day 34 - daybeds - morning

adela & frankie @absolutesort​

" last night was so funny, " maybe she shouldn't say that considering it wasn't funny for most of the islanders but she doesn't care, her voice is light and her smile won’t budge. "  i really thought jenny was gonna hit me. ” she snorts, pretty sure she could take the blonde.  

[absolutesort]

ADELA & FRANKIE — NIGHT TWENTY-NINE.

location :  kitchen.

time :   evening, during / after the beer pong game.

description :  frankie does the dare that says ‘kiss the people you think are into you’ and chooses adela and mali. adela wants to take things further but frankie decides to call it a night.

featuring :   adela  /  @bluemmings​   with asides from josh, dylan, miles, mali.

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

"EYYYYYY! it went in!" that makes her score like, fifty fifty. maybe a bit off that, actually. frankie gets up to read the back of the cup she's sunk a ball into. "kiss the people you think are into you." okay, that's tasty.  "i'm going to start with you..." she turns to mali, hand sliding up her jaw. "is that okay?" she asks, before leaning in to meet her mouth.

𝙟𝙤𝙨𝙝 𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙨.

oh, so now frankie is going to be kissing everyone now. josh can't believe even after having sex last night, he's still the one getting the least amount of action.

Love Island

the dare says two people btw

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

that's fine

mali wattapohn.

she wants to make a snarky remark in return, the hand on her face distracting her as she looks to frankie with her usual doe eyes, though they've got a little genuine surprise in them. "shut up," she says, very cleverly, before she lifts her lips to meet frankie's, not having to stretch quite as far as with dylan, her hand going to frankie's waist carefully. she doesn't want to overstep, even if she wants to touch a whole lot more.

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

it's a game, which means she's allowed to have as much fun as she wants, and if mali's shut up was anything to go by, she hasn't missed the mark. the hand on her jaw draws her closer, her other hand sliding down mali's hip and drawing her in. she kisses by the book, and frankie's always found intinct a better teacher, breath quickening as she sinks her teeth into mali's lower lip and pulls back. "okay, that was one. next..." her eyes scan around the circle. literally everyone here wants her, except dylan, and honestly, maybe even him.  frankie swallows, makes her way over to adela. "i could be wrong, but..." her gut tells her otherwise, and so her lips meet adela's, both hands catching at her hips to draw them in against her own. at least this time, layla isn't involved. oh wait layla. maybe she'll be number three. how many is she allowed to do again?

mali wattapohn.

it's hard to come away from that with her breath, a small noise as she's pulled into frankie, pressing herself against her. their tongue runs over where frankie had just bitten with a confused look, not so sure where she stood now, until frankie lists her off as one for the dare, shaking her out of it. "god, way to make a girl feel wanted," she laughs, going to sit back down, with a good natured smile.

𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳

she's been at a weird crossroad since frankie read off the dare. in a way, she wants her to know that adela is interested, on the other hand she doesn't... though she knows she definitely wants to kiss her, properly, alone— well, without layla's mouth to confuse her further anyways.   so she's not entirely sure if frankie will pick her, but once she does, her pulse is racing. lips meet frankie's ferociously, fingers tangling in the others hair as she pulls her in heavy, hard, and confirming the theory with this kiss instead of words that'll betray her. if this is the only kiss she'll share with frankie then she's going to give her something to think about, something to want again and again.

𝙟𝙤𝙨𝙝 𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙨.

he is Looking.

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

oh god. adela doesn't hold back. it's like, the moment her lips find adela' she's pouncing, all hands in her hair and hungry mouths and kind of animal. she kisses the same way that frankie kisses, which means when it's the two of them kissing it's completely unruly, ungovernable, breath hot in her mouth as she draws her lips open, hands sliding up adela's back to pull her closer, closer, nose sliding over adela's as she angles her mouth to kiss her deeper. so she'd been right. there isn't enough energy in her to properly bathe in the victory when she's so wrapped up in adela's kiss. she should pull away but fucking hell, this girl kisses like she's trying to prove something.

she is also looking.

he thought he'd be more into this, but . . . he's actually not looking.

notices the look on miles' face and clears his throat loudly. "alright, if you're going to jump each other's bones, take it inside or keep going."

he’s actually not Looking because he’s thinking of his sister and how she’s doing in the villa. he hopes she’s doing well. he’ll let frankie have her fun if that’s what she wants to do. “anyone wants more drinks?” he downs his and gets up.

mali wattapohn.

"me, please." she's finding it hard to not look, though.

"you can top me off," she chimes in, pushing herself up from standing to go with.

“you got it.” he walks towards the mini bar to refill people’s drinks.

"not gonna invite me?" he offers, grinning. didn't they have a deal?

“glad to know you haven’t forgotten about me again,” he teases. “come on.”

miles o'sullivan

"pretty sure you were the one that forgot me this time," he jokes, getting up and falling into step with dylan.

𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳

she's a little hazy, thoughts cloudy with soft lips  and hands in places where they want to drift further. frankie could do whatever she wanted to her right here and adela would let it happen, an anticipation in her stomach, that excitement, that want to be touched. but she can hear josh's annoying little voice suddenly, a brief snap back to reality as she slows down, tearing her lips away from frankie's, flushed and ruffled, horny and a little embarrassed by the fact she'd got so into it so easily, that now there's no more guessing game with frankie and she knows. she clears her own throat, wiping at her lips before trying to brush through frankie's hair that she messed up. " i mean... unless you want to go somewhere... " she says softly, not wanting the others to hear it, a little shy that she's even suggesting it.

𝗱𝘆𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹𝘀.

“maybe i was just testing you,” he jokes, taking out the bottles he needs.

mali wattapohn.

she honestly feels like she's intruding now, looking to catch either phoebe's or josh's or marcus's or anyone, really, to make sure she's not the only one.

𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐡

marcus is chilling like just another day init ?

miles o'sullivan

"oh, is that what everyone means when they say this place is a test?" he laughs, watching dylan take out all the bottles. there's a glance back toward where adela and frankie are, but he's trying not to think too hard about it, face flushing as he looks back, distracting himself by watching dylan's busy hands. "so, walk me through what's going on here. what're you making?"

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

she's a second away from pulling back when adela does, flushed and giggling and vindicated because she knew there was something in that weird energy she'd felt. goddamn it, she's fucking benoit blancing the shit out of this place. "i knew it. i knew you were into me," she says, at the same time adela asks if she wants to go somewhere else, and now she's really flushing, because that isn't how she'd imagined this going. "uh... oh my god." for a moment, she's too startled to respond. "i feel like that's... i think that's a bad idea. because i'm trying to be a good person, and because..." because miles. but she isn't going to say that, because adela already knows, and it would just be like another blow to the head. "you're a fucking good kisser, though. like, props to you. i would kiss you again, for sure." just not right now. sighing, she sits back down by the beer pong table. "where'd everybody go? there's still one dare left."

mali wattapohn.

"flirting while making drinks?"

𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳

" fuck you. " she scoffs, rolling her eyes despite the grin on her lips. she hates how this feels like frankie has won, but at the same time she feels so much better, relieved it's out in the open without her having to explicitly say 'i like you' bc ew. she can't stop that sinking feeling in her stomach even though if she had just thought about it and took a second, she'd know frankie wouldn't want to go off somewhere and continue... she knows boundaries have been set up and frankie's got more than just adela to think about. she suddenly feels so fucking stupid. " no, that's okay. forget i said it. i was just— " she blows out her cheeks, fanning herself. " you know, in the moment, and, i'm not um ... " she's talking so quick she has no idea where she's going with it so she just shakes her head. " forget it. " she concludes, smile played up to move on from it all when she actually wants to go somewhere quiet and scream. " thank you, " she laughs, like she's just been complimented on a new dress or hair do. " you too, i mean... same, yeah. " she'd kiss her again literally right now. she shouldn't though, and frankie wouldn't, surely. "    drinks, right. " she nods, aware miles has moved from wherever he was, trying to spot him without him spotting her. fuck sake.

DAY 31 : BEACH HUT CONFESSIONAL 

what are you most looking forward to about reuniting with the other villa? what are you dreading the most?

he doesn’t quite know how to answer the question. his answer for both of these is going to be the same. rhys. on one hand, he’s excited to see the other again and see if the connection is still there. the other part of him is scared that it isn’t. “i guess, i’m mostly looking forward to seeing rhys and seeing if we could like...pick up where we left off? but i’m also scared that we won’t be able to. i’m not blaming him or anything but we were so new before this whole casa thing started so it wouldn’t be fair for me to expect him to stay loyal. especially not when i was kissing adela and all of that.” but there’s a small part of him, the foolish, hopeless romantic part of him, that hopes that he’s wrong. 

if you were to stick, why would you? why would you consider switching?

“if i were to stick, i think it would be because of rhys. the connections i made here were nice but i’m not sure if they’re quite the same.” but then again, there could always be someone else. and as naive as bash is, that thought does cross his mind. “i don’t know if i would switch. if i did, it would be because of the connection i formed with adela. but that’s so new too so i could end up in the same boat that i was with rhys. so, i dunno.” he shrugs and his shoulders sag a bit, not like the usually upbeat boy.

is there a bombshell that’s at the top of you ‘list’? who would you bring back?

“i think adela. i really like talking to her, among other things.” kissing her. “i think that it would be kind of nice to have something different from what i had with rhys. i feel like what i had with rhys was kind of slow growing and very soft. what i have with adela feels more like...fast and exciting.” which usually isn’t his pace, but he’s not gonna mention that.

if none of the bombshells could come back, who would you miss most?

”honestly, i think i would miss miles the most. the guy is just such a fun time to be around with. as much as i like adela, i think miles would be like the person who i would feel like i could miss the presence of the most. it makes sense why he and frankie have something between them. they both have such fun energy.” 

what conversations do you need to have most when you reunite?

“obviously there’s the conversation with rhys. i don’t know what he has to say but i’m kind of nervous about it.” he shifts in his seat a bit. “i guess, i’m just sort of dreading feeling like i did when nana blindsided me although this obviously isn’t the same exact situation. i just don’t want to have to feel that again. 0/10 would not recommend.”

what are you feeling about the decisions of the other islanders? who do you think has made the best connection?

“truthfully, as much as i liked callie and frankie together, frankie and miles have got a real connection. i feel bad for saying that because i really don’t want callie to be blindsided or sad so hopefully she made a connection too. but man, they just clicked, you know?”

♡ beach hut prompt 09: dylan michaels

what are you most looking forward to about reuniting with the other villa? what are you dreading the most?

“I can’t wait to see Callie and Romi and give them the biggest hug in the world. I miss them heaps. Honestly, I miss Naomi, too. That makes me a fucking idiot, doesn’t it? I’m dreading having to talk to her. I’ve been in a limbo stage for days because I’ve been unable to air it out with her, all the while trying to ignore it to focus on the present. Now that the time has come... yeah, I’m dreading it. It’s driving me a little insane actually. Who even knows what’ll happen anymore?”

if you were to stick, why would you? why would you consider switching?

“If I were to stick it’d be because my feelings for Naomi are still very much there and I can’t ignore them. This whole situation has so many ifs and questions that I don’t have the answers to till I talk to her, too and I’d wanna give us a chance to talk things through and figure it out properly. But at the same time, I’d consider switching because of these ifs and questions. I can’t ignore that Josh is there, too, like an annoying fly that just won’t stop buzzing, and that Naomi clearly still has feels for him and is probably taking me for granted after everything. She might even come back with someone. We all know she’s the center of attention wherever she goes. I don’t know, mate... it really can go either way.”

is there a bombshell that’s at the top of you ‘list’? who would you bring back?

“I mean, I don’t have a list anymore. It’s what yesterday was all about for me, wanting to figure out where my head was at with the girls I have been getting to know. I didn’t want to keep prolonging this, but at the same time, I wanted to give myself and them a fair shot at seeing if we can go anywhere. Having said that, if I were to bring anyone back, it’d be Adela. She’s really fun, cute and easy going, our conversations flow so well. I wish I had a little more time with her, honestly.”

if none of the bombshells could come back, who would you miss most?

“Uh, I’d miss them all honestly. They’re a great group of people. We got lucky. Adela, Mali, and Phoebe are great. I know yesterday I had to have a difficult conversation with Phoebe, particularly, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m glad to have met her and gotten to know her... even though things didn’t go the way she might’ve hoped. I gave us both a fair shot and I had to go with my heart, you know? I wasn’t dishonest about anything from the get go.” A pause. “I’d miss Miles, too, he’s a really good bloke. I’m glad to have met him, even if he’s grafting my sister’s partner.” Tone is playful here.

what conversations do you need to have most when you reunite?

“Come on, mate, you already know. Obviously, the impending conversation with Naomi is at the top of my list. The sooner we talk, the better, of course to see where we’re going with this and air it all out. I’ve been waiting too long already. I’ve managed to distract myself for a good while here, but when I’m in my own head about this, it gets a little too much.”

what are you feeling about the decisions of the other islanders? who do you think has made the best connection?

“It’s been a crazy few days, huh?” He chuckles, but it’s not totally humorous. “I hate to say it, but Frankie and Miles seem to have developed something there. I’m betting everything she’s bringing him back. I feel so awful for Callie because I know how into Frankie she was... I just hope she cracked on during that time and met someone, too.” A pause. “Marcus and Val seem to have something good going since the first day at casa amor, but I don’t know if he’s battling his own thoughts when it comes to Romi, like I am with Naomi. It’s tricky. Josh fucking Mali on day one hours after he told me with his whole chest he wants to be good for Naomi is honestly the joke of the season. This is the guy Naomi still has feels for and wants to give another chance?” He rolls his eyes, scoffing. “Let’s see how he’ll get away with it this time.” Probably by downplaying, lying, and gaslighting, but Dylan doesn’t want to say it out loud.

[inquixotic]

BEACH HUT CONFESSIONAL, CASA AMOR #3

how are you feeling about the recoupling tonight?

“i’m feeling fine, honestly.” and they are. “i’ve made a few good connections, but if they don’t want me back, i’m not going to cry over it.”

do you think that you’ll be brought back? by who?

“honestly?” she shakes her head. “i don’t think anyone’s going to take me back, but i think that’s fine, too. my best connection is with josh, and he’s looking to figure things out with another bird first. would it be smarter for him to bring me back? perhaps. but that’s on him. maddox is a wild card, can’t tell if he likes me more than the others, though. he could surprise yet.” 

if you don’t come back to the villa, which islander would you miss the most?

“josh, easily. it’s no secret i like him, i’d like to get to spend more time with him, too, but i don’t fault him for not wanting more drama on his hands either. because naomi is nothing but drama on her own, add me into the mix? no one can blame the guy. i’ll miss miles, too, but i’m glad he’s managed to do well for himself with frankie. they seem so suited.” 

who would you be most excited to meet from the opposite villa?

“naomi? she’s got a weird spell on josh and dylan both, i want to see that magic for myself. think she and i would actually get on well, too.” 

how are you feeling about the odds of your other bombshells? who do you think has made the best connections?

“if i had to wager, i’d say miles has the best odds, along with val.” they roll their eyes a little with a sigh. “i’m betting dylan takes adela, despite the fact that she’s obviously looking for an easy ride back. she kisses him and bash and then goes for him, the more popular of the two? she’s not looking for a connection, she’s looking for an easy win. if he doesn’t see that, i can’t help him. hopefully someone can talk sense into the boy.”
