#frankie & mali.

[inquixotic]

“so you and miles shared a bed again?” she’s trying to slyly gather intel, sorting through her makeup bag with a curious glance up at frankie. they want to know what she’s thinking, what she’s feeling about him, if she’s actually considering bringing him back, but she can’t come right out and ask that. it could scare her off the whole thing, and she’s trying to help miles here. “does he hog the bed as much as it seems like he would?” they wonder aloud, easing into it, handing her a ruddy tinted balm without prompting, pulling a natural pink out for herself to tap at her lips. “he seems like the type.”

FRANKIE & MALI — DAY TWENTY-EIGHT.

location :   day beds.  time : mid-day.

featuring :     mali @inquixotic​

mali wattapohn.

"darling, you must tell me everything i've missed up until now." her voice is saccharine sweet, as if they've been friends for ages and hadn't only met an hour ago. "now, i know you are practically moved in with callie already, and i don't want to split up anything good," they smile sweetly. "who do you think needs the attention the most?"  

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

everything. that's kind of a loaded question. "uh..." frankie pauses, attempting to remember further back than what she ate for breakfast  ( pancakes and a protein shake ).  "i mean... i'm not sure how much help i can be. this is my fifth day in the villa, and i'm not even in the villa, so..." she sips on the straw of her water bottle, rolling onto her side to look at mali. is she really gonna ask her who to graft? isn't that supposed to be their job?  "i think you should go for josh. him and jenny are not solid. maddox is an easy option, because he's in a friendship couple. marcus and romi aren't really solid either." if you could call seeing your ex fuck someone else in the kitchen like, the same day they broke up with you as not really solid. "and i can vouch that he's a good kisser."

mali wattapohn.

"yes, but so much has happened in those five days," they press, widening her eyes until they resemble the 🥺 emoji. "just look at you and callie, i mean..." a wistful sigh, as if that's something she'd genuinely want for herself. to mali, they feel a little vanilla. they nod along with her assessment, humming thoughtfully. she's had that pegged, too, but it's good to hear confirmation from someone who's actually been in the villa with them, too. "you can? color me intrigued." she sits forward with interest, completely pulling her sunglasses off her head to tossle her hair. "marcus seems like such a sweetheart, too. i'm sure everyone's got their eye on him. was that during one of the little party games?" she asks innocently, chattering away a mile a minute, ever so casually checking frankie out. "they just look so fun. lovely way to figure out who's your type when everyone is so gorgeous, right?"

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

she pointedly avoids the question, or rather statement, about her and callie. all she needs is another bombshell poking in their head into her relationship, looking for the cracks. "yeah, it was during a game. he was quite handsy, which i like. obviously, i'm way into callie, but things aren't like, super locked down so i probably would've ended up kissing him at some point anyway," she admits, despite vehemently denying it to naomi just yesterday.  still, admitting that you would kiss someone and actually kissing them is a big difference. "we're on love island, and if there's chemistry and you're feeling it, you just kinda have to go with it, y'know?"  she can't really work mali out yet. she's not even sure if that's actually her name. introductions happened so fast, and now frankie's still playing catch up. "oh, they're super fun. no stakes making out, exactly my kinda party. feels like being in college." or at least, the experience of college her friends had. frankie never got to go. "okay, who are your top three, right off the bat, if you had to make out with someone right now?"

mali wattapohn.

"is he now?" now that's a fun tidbit, that she'll have to file away for later. "well, he probably just moved a spot up on my list, then," she laughs, before cutting it a little short, looking with some wide eyed concern at frankie. "so long as that is not overstepping, you know. if you're interested in him, i can focus on maddox and josh instead." her shrug is easy, as if she really would drop him like that. "absolutely agreed. i think the most important thing is you follow your gut, of course, but that you're with someone who makes you feel good. physically and emotionally, too." her top three makes her pause, stretching out as she thinks that through, her smile feline in nature. "off the bat, i'd say marcus, maddox, and...josh?" there's a question in her voice, her gaze moving back to frankie with a teasing smile. "unless this is an invitation, of course, and then you're obviously number one."

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

tongue sliding over her teeth, she attempts to remember the night of the party, where they'd kissed, twice she thinks, in games that felt a little too real. "it was just after romi fucked maddox, so he was kinda going for it." frankie smirks, somehow rendered girlish by this cutesy conversation about boys despite herself. "no, no. don't be silly!" she's quick to deflect, waving mali's concerns off with a bat of her hand. "if you wanna go for marcus, you jump straight on him. catch that dick, girl." she's pretty sure mali would anyway. these bombshells mean business ; they've been picked specifically because they've got game. "i'm so not in the business of telling someone not to graft. we're all here for one thing, and you've gotta test shit out to see what sticks, you know?" or at least, that's frankie's persepective on the situation — though she'd be lying if she claimed she didn't wish she was sharing a bed with callie tonight. frankie zones out a little when the usual answers come to mind, though her ears perk up like a little dog at the comment tagged on the end. "you go for girls? that's hot. for some reason, i didn't peg you as a card-carrying bisexual. maybe because you're not wearing the badge." her jokes could use a little work. at least callie has the decency to laugh at them. 

mali wattapohn.

"oh, right. that sure was something to watch," she chuckles, a little uncertain about how that had actually played out in the villa. getting only the highlights from the episode felt a little weird. "well, i hope he's brought that same kind of energy to this. he's too gorgeous to be single for long, you know?" mali gives a broad grin at her assuring her not to worry about her if she wants to graft, and she flips her sunglasses to the top of her head. "ugh, i'm so happy to hear you say that. i felt a little like everyone would be on edge, so i've been trying to be careful, you know, and that's just simply not my style." she gives graceful shrug of her shoulders. "i just want something fun for once, like easy." frankie's joke pulls a chuckle out of her, though not necessarily any surprise. most people didn't think she was gay in the slightest, due to their extremely feminine nature. "left it at home, actually," she returns, with a sweet smile. "i usually just say queer, for simplicity. it explains my gender and my attraction, you know? i do have a soft spot for strong women, though, not sure anyone can resist."

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

“marcus is gorgeous.” at this point, frankie’s a bit sick of hearing it— not because she’s not happy for him, he deserves all the attention he’s getting — but because with every new islander she talks to, it’s the same old tune. yeah, marcus is great. next?  at mali’s suggestion that she’s on edge, frankie’s already shaking her head, attempting to reassure her that they’re not all gonna be cunts about it. “nah, dude. don’t even sweat it. you gotta do your thing, and if they don’t like it, that’s a them problem.  they’d be an idiot to not find you hitting on them flattering.”  even if they’re not exactly thriving at the idea of sharing a bed with a bombshell, some stranger all up in your grill.  “our time here is short.  the only thing being careful guarantees is a plane ticket straight back home.” shrugging, frankie takes another sip from her branded water bottle, eyes lazily scanning around the villa before returning to mali, voice lowered to a half-whisper, the two of them co-conspirators. “if it’s fun you’re after, you should probably go for maddox. no offence to marcus, but i think he’s going for the wife and kids kinda vibe. but if that’s what you mean by fun, then fair.” personally, frankie can’t think of anything more suffocating. if callie so much as speaks about buying a place together she’ll be slamming her hands over her ears.  dogs on the other hand, she’s down for. two dogs and a van and a map of south america sounds like her kinda post-love island gig. “oh! so are you, like, non-binary? that’s tight. d'you have like, pronouns?” frankie doesn’t meet too many LGBTQ+ people in yachting, it’s pretty much straight people central, (aside from that one charter guest who’d got a little too handsy and almost cost her a job) which is part of the reason she’d come on the show.  “strong women?”  frankie scoffs.  “as opposed to what? weak women? dude, all women are strong women when you consider the shit men put us through on the daily.”

mali wattapohn.

"well, obviously." she knows what she looks like. they're gorgeous, they have virtually everything. what's not to find flattering? "but even still, i'm not trying to be a cunt about it, you know?" she's going to have permission for every steal of theirs she has, thank you very much. "yeah, i suspected as much. weird for how young he is. i'm not sure i want to be married off, so maddox and josh were next on the list." her confirming that maddox is fun confirms what she's expected of him from his stint on the show, a reputation but little in the way of connection. the way frankie says wife and kids, though, makes her laugh because she almost makes it sound like it's the worst thing to want if you also want fun. "yes, more or less. i like she, i like they. neither more than the other, so long as it is not he," she laughs. they're only really a woman in the way that it matters to other people, like how she presents, anyways. "all women are strong but not all women can bench me," she rolls her eyes at how metaphorical frankie takes it.

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

shifting on the daybed, frankie tries to get comfortable, switching from lying on her back to shifting onto her elbow, her body angled towards mali.  “maybe he doesn’t,” frankie shrugs, backtracking, because come to think of it she’s never had a serious chat with marcus about what he wants out of this. “i’m not spitting facts. just caught that vibe.” it’s hard to gauge what mali’s vibe is — it was similar with adela — whether the gentle dipping of a toe in the water is them wanting her, or them wanting a ticket back to the villa. it feels like every bombshell (save miles and valerie) has come in with the impression that frankie’s married off, a no-go zone, and while that’s half-true, it doesn’t mean she’s immune to the feeling of eyes on her, or that she’ll shun any bit of attention directed her way. she’s not a prude, or a nun, and on the outside, four days into a relationship she wouldn't think twice about hooking up with some random at a club. it's four days, that's like nothing—but a relationship in love island feels heavier, somehow. “oh, so you’re talking about physically strong. yeah, dude, i can do that.” her eyes roll over mali, sizing her up–she’s teeny tiny– if she can bench callie, she can certainly bench mali. frankie almost offers, but then second-guesses herself. probably not a good look, especially on the first day in casa. “so are you saying your type is like, pop-eye but with tits?” smirking, she flexes her bicep. “not trying to gloat, but this morning i opened a jar of nutella all by myself.”

mali wattapohn.

"i'll chat with him about it myself," she says serenely, sure she'll have the time soon anyways. "if it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't. i'm just happy to have a shot." the way frankie's eyes go over here feels almost appraising, less like actually checking mali out, and they giggle at the calculating look on her face. "lucky me. you'll have to show me how much you can lift later," it's lightly flirty, not quite walking on eggshells based on frankie's own attitude, but she's seen how serious she and callie got in, what, three days? she's not looking to get left out to dry. at her flexing, mali does give her an appraising glance over, letting her eyes wander for only a beat too long. "ooh, she can open her own jars?" there's a teasing smirk, a light, slightly sarcastic fanning of herself, as if frankie's too hot for them. "pop-eye with great tits, preferably." she's definitely not talking about frankie herself or anything, definitely has not noticed how spectacular her boobs actually are. "and a little more ass than he has."

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨.

with the way mali's speaking to her, she feels like a slicked up fireman in a middle-aged housewives fantasy. sure, it's objectifying, but not necessarily in a bad way. maybe there's some truth in porn, even if it is unethical. most women just want someone strong and sexy to make them feel protected, like there's somebody fighting their corner who cares enough to make them come. "i can bench 120, i think. but i can try more." she's never against upping the ante to impress someone hot. "josh obviously knocks me out of the water, every time. it's kinda depressing. but men are also built different, not just in a men are trash way, but like, their bodies are literally better set up for it." it's why they don't do mixed-gender olympics, which, while it sucks, she can see the logic behind. but she backs herself against men, she still thinks she could throttle most of the guys here in a sprint, if she hadn't been holding her breath underwater beforehand, would probably have beaten miles if she hadn't eaten that burger. at least that's what she's telling herself. her desire for competition is snagged by her desire to be wanted when mali makes a comment about tits, which feels personal, rather than neutral and non-specific. laughing, a little nervously, she reaches for the bottle of sun cream to have something to do with her hands, squeezes a dollop out and begins rubbing it against her shoulder. "well you're shit out of luck there, because i have neither of those things." tits and ass, she means. "this is actually a body suit i zip on every morning. i'm like larry king under here."

starter for josh ( @graftisms​​​​ )

time : day 29, morning

location : lounge area

– MILES DOESN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WENT ON IN THE DRESSING ROOM. something about sex, who’s having it and who’s not, but even without outright saying it, it was extremely clear that mali was one of the people having it ( and miles wasn’t 😔 ) still, he’s pretty eager to catch up with josh about it, because getting advice from the girls was proving to be more disheartening than anything. they’d mostly just told him he was boring and then devolved into a catfight about something vague. he needs some real perspective on the situation with frankie from someone who seems to know what the hell he’s talking about, and he wants josh’s side of the story considering mali was not at all optimistic about things moving forward. josh had also been pretty stern in his anti-bombshell sentiment the night before, and miles wonders what changed. hopefully he can bring mali some good news, cheer her up after that shitstorm. “ hey-o ! ” excited greeting as miles reaches out to dap josh up, half-hello, half-congratulations. “ heard you had a very good night. ” 

[bluemmings]

day 42 / adela&&dylan.

@cruelsxmmcr​

she doesn’t know if it’s the consecutive events of frankie leaving, her ‘ conversation ’ with callie, and now mali’s arrival, but adela’s feeling pretty fucking sick of this place. it forces her to ponder on whether she now has more people who dislike her than those which are her friends. in real life, she wouldn’t let this bother her, but in the villa where she has nowhere to go, it feels a lot heavier.  it almost makes her wonder how things would’ve played out if she just left with frankie on a whim or something, jumped into the ocean and let it cleanse her of all this shit. the one person she should be having this conversation with, she kind of doesn’t want to, expecting it to end up in the worst place. she can’t just say ‘ hey, i hate your sister, ’ even though she wants to for the simplicity of it, (even though it’s not even true, she just hates how their conversation went, how their relationship is more negative than anything else and will probably stay that way forever) but once those words come out then there’s definitely less simplicity in it, instead probably a jungle of shit she’d need to machete her way through with dylan but they won’t end up on the same side. she could focus on the mali of it all instead, but she’s sure dylan already knows where she stands on that. 

it’s hard to avoid him when she doesn’t want to, nor does she want him to realise she’s overthinking one too many things so she shouldn’t avoid him, but her thoughts keep coming back to ‘ this isn’t working ’ even though it is, then twisting to ‘ this won’t work ’ even though she wants it to. she’s worried she’s going to blurt something out, finalise a decision before she’s even thought everything through. so when she spots him coming over, her lips twitch in a conflicted smile. “ i need to talk to you about something. ” adela says quickly once he’s in front of her, before he has the chance to wrap himself up with her like he usually would. “ me and callie had a chat yesterday, ”  she says just as quick, not wanting him to think of anything else she could’ve done, like fuck josh or something everyone clearly expects her to do. “ i dunno, it’s kind of rubbed me the wrong way. ”

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.” 

[the-lavender-creator]

Ong lav!!! You should add schon genug by Lina Maly. It’s a German song about the need to be perfect and it fits Frankalei well!!! Cause you know. Technically Frankie is German?

I think at this point you should just make a whole playlist for them where it's all non-English songs nuhybgvtfrc

Or I can do that if you'd prefer

SMS ⏩ JUDE: are you red-carpet-ready? because it’s time for MOVIE NIGHT. get glammed up and meet us in the lounge for the premier. #whatspoppin #oncamera

on movie night, all of the islanders take a seat at a large crescent-shaped table where a big screen and projector is set up in contrast to the night sky. islanders will answer trivia questions about each other and will need to answer fastest and first to earn a chance to select one of the movie titles on the screen:

what’s the dyl?

when in rom-i

dante’s inferno

angel in disguise 

the miles files

santos syndrome

marc side of the moon

under my adela

just joshing

the uncanny callie

evie-l under the sun

garden of eden

don’t be jude

jenny was a friend of mine

american horror tori

charlene and not heard

frank me later

the first trivia question flashes on the screen, "where did josh go to college?” and naomi answers the fastest : university of wisconsin. as a result, she gets to pick a movie from the options. she chooses ‘just joshing.’ 

the movie flashes on the screen, showing three clips : 

josh and mali are on the terrace together. “i don’t want to be your friend,” he tells her, and mali asks him what he does want. “fine, we can be friends,” he finally relents, smiling at her. “but not, like, best friends. friends made from this weird ass experience that might hang out in greece together in six months, pending other obligations.” mali laughs, “i'll see you in six months, pending your other obligations.” the way they say it makes it sound like work. there’s a pause until mali is the one to break the silence and end the conversation, saying that she should go find the others. she leans over and presses a gentle kiss to his cheek, closer to the corner of his mouth, before leaving. 

josh is in the kitchen, talking to adela: “it kills you that badly that you can't have me, huh?” he says. “if naomi and dylan do fuck us...” adela replies, “you’d be last on my list.” josh responds, “you're such a liar. if they screwed us, you and i both know we'd fuck each other to get back at them.”

the last clip is of josh and jenny, speaking in the living room. “i'm no one's first choice,” jenny says. "you could've been my first choice, if you didn't fuck max!" josh replies. 

the next question flashes on the screen. “what board game is angel really good at?” callie answers the fastest: chess. as a result, she gets to pick a movie from the options. she chooses ‘frank me later.’ 

the movie begins playing, showing three clips :

it shows frankie and callie on the terrace, where callie says “what do you want?” and frankie says “you know what i want!” and frankie pushes callie up against the door and there’s this tense moment where they look like they’re going to kiss before they don’t. 

frankie’s talking to angel in the smoking area, where she tells him about what happened: “hey, i wanna be frank with you, because you’re a cool guy, and i said i’d give you a heads up if anything happened or whatever, but like… me and callie were chatting earlier and it got kinda intense. you know how it is with an ex—or whatever we are now—and there was this moment where she was like, all up in my grill like what the fuck do you want and it was hot, obviously, and i just kinda… pushed her?” and then she says, “it’s like… i just keep waiting for me to stop feeling some typa way when i’m around her.” and angel gets pissed and replies, “you don’t know what you want. and i don’t think you really care who you hurt while you try and figure it out.”

frankie’s with victoria on the date. “oh, you’ve got a little…” frankie gestures to her mouth. “no, it’s more like… wait, let me do it.” she sucks her thumb into her mouth, leans across the table and gathers up the dribble of chocolate from the corner of victoria’s cheek, bringing it back to lick it off her thumb. “you’re all good.”

the next question flashes on the screen after that. the question, “when did romi get her first tattoo?” marcus answers fastest: from her dad, at age 16. he chooses to see ‘when in rom-i.’ 

the first clip is romi and jenny in the bedroom. “and who finds you interesting, romi? the guy with all of five thoughts in his head? the guy who fucked your cousin? very impressive. i bet josh would love this side of you. or, you know, maybe he'd pull a marcus and realize you're too fucked up for him too,” jenny says. and romi says, “you know, you can bait with me dejan or marcus or whoever the fuck you want but there's never going to be a reality where i question how josh feels about me or how i feel about him and i know it must be so sad that you can't say the same.” and jenny retorts, “what, are you fucking in love with him or something?”

dylan and romi are standing in the kitchen, it’s just after dejan and max have left. romi says that she thinks naomi has feelings for dylan, but ‘not like what she has for josh.’ but romi also explains to dylan that, “if josh wants naomi back now, it’s only because she's unattainable,” and adds, “josh doesn’t seem like the type of guy who can be with one girl for very long.” she ends the conversation by saying that dylan deserves “someone who is only going to choose him and not have someone else constantly toying in the back of their mind.” 

it shows dante and romi on the terrace where she asks, “did you just say you love me?” and dante replies “i do. i love you, romi.” she says she’s sorry for how she’s responded and that it scares her, and then she says, “i do care about you, dante, and i’ve grown so fond of you over the last couple of days but if you really want to be open, i mean, if you want me to be really certain about the decision…i think we should do it.” the camera cuts to romi and jenny speaking at the bean bags, where romi tells jenny that dante just told her that he loves her. jenny says, “why would dante be lying?” and romi replies, "i think he's lying 'cause i can't see any reason why he would be in love with me...and, like, you know what's so fucked up about all of this? i think i'm in love with marcus."

the next questions flashes on the screen, “what’s marcus’s dog’s name?” josh answers first : griffin. he chooses to watch naomi’s movie. the screen darkens and three clips start to play :

naomi and dante are in the pool together and he has her pressed up against the wall. he says that he’d “ask about kissing her if he wasn’t worried about getting a concussion.” she says, “but if you weren’t worried about the potential concussion … ?” the clip cuts to show them in the kitchen, dante stepping closer to her as naomi asks, “do you want me to try it with you?” and dante says, “i want you to try with everyone. and with me, yes. i would’ve kissed you yesterday, before jenny.” naomi tugs dante’s face closer, lips nearly brushing when she says, “well, that’s too bad. i’m not really a sharer.” he still has her cornered, pressed against the countertop when he groans in frustration. “you’d better let me out before we get in trouble.” 

there’s some really quick clips of her flirting. one where she’s kissing stella outside on the swings, one where she’s showing marcus her ass and laying on him, one where she’s leaning close to victoria and speaking french.

naomi is talking to dylan in the living room and she says, “i didn’t say it would always be him. you said he always there in the background, and i agreed. whether it was always going to be him or not, we ended because you accepted that things were over between us before we even spoke to each other.” and dylan says, “you saying you chose josh because i ended things sounds like an insult to josh.”

after the movie ends, the lights brighten and the next question flashes on the screen. “what’s adela’s favorite type of food?” dylan answers fastest: greek. he chooses to watch ‘under my adela’ and three clips begin to play on the screen. 

there’s a clip of adela and josh together in the pool, and he asks if the “offer to have her up against a wall” is still on the table. adela asks him if he would take her up on it and josh says “maybe, yeah.” 

naomi asks adela if dylan is her type and she starts laughing and says, “no. like literally not at all. i kind of wasn’t interested in him at all because, yeah, just thought he seemed a bit quiet and… plain ? he IS way hotter in person though, so that had me a bit like oh… but yeah… not my type at all. ” her nose scrunches as she shakes her head. “ i’m into like… dicks, really. honestly, my type’s more josh… ” she smirks over at naomi. naomi asks adela if she was going to say ‘boring’ (and mentions that she hates when people say that about dylan) and adela replies, “oh, i think i WAS gonna say boring. my impression of him going into casa was with you and he just seemed like a bit of a pushover, so that didn’t really excite me.” 

josh asks adela, “what’s so interesting about dylan? he’s a bartender?” and she says, “well, if you really want to know— he's from australia. plus i love free drinks.” 

after adela’s film ends, the final question flashes on the screen, “what internet trend was jude really into?” jenny answers fastest: parkour. she chooses to watch the film, ‘don’t be jude.’ a movie begins to play.

it’s jude and romi arguing by the firepit where he says, “but being a bomshell has risks, you have to keep a back up option around in case things go pear-shaped. i mean, taking it seriously as in viewing it as a big thing when it's not a big thing. it said kiss people you think are sexy, obviously i'm not gonna kiss angel. jenny is hot, but that doesn't mean i want anything with her. like at all. i don't.” 

charlene asks jude, “are you happy to be officially coupled up with her?” and jude says, “maybe. i dunno.” 

the last clip is of jude saying, “charlene is fit, yeah. the girl tried to drown me and i’d still tap that. she’s got bags of personality.” 

the lights brighten and movie night comes to an end, leaving the islanders to discuss the night’s events.

𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐇𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟑𝟏: 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐫

how are you feeling about the recoupling tonight?

“trying to go into tonight with just... radical acceptance. we only had so much time and you kind of just have to trust your connection and... maybe selfishly hope it’s stronger than whatever they have waiting for them in there? and if it’s not...” she shrugs. “maybe the timing just wasn’t right. i don’t know. i’m trying not to think about it, actually. i would’ve been dead sure this morning that marcus and i were going back together, but who knows? it’s so real now. i really like him, though. i like to live very c’est la vie, no regrets, but i almost wish i’d done more. 

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

“i’d only be brought back by marcus. he was my strongest connection by a long shot, but he was a little hard to read today. who knows, man. things are just so much easier in the abstract. we’ll just see what happens.” 

do you think you’ve made strong connections in the villa?

“just by nature of the fact that you’re spending every waking moment with the same, what, twelve people? you get pretty close. obviously i feel like marcus and i had the deepest connection and like, regardless of what happens tonight, i’ll be bugging him to keep in touch ‘cause he’s just someone i want in my life. like, however he’ll have me. and i’m sure i’ll be in touch with mali and miles and frankie. maybe josh if he’s not fending off ladies left and right. really, everyone in here’s tight. it’s been amazing, actually. you know, i came in here to make connections and yeah,” she nods, lips stretching to a smile. “i do feel like i did that.”

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

“i’ll miss marcus the most. marcus marcus marcus. his name doesn’t even sound real anymore, but um... no, i think more than individual people, i’ll miss... this moment in time. this group of twelve as it is right now is about to change. we’ll never all be here again the way it is right now and i feel like everyone has been so integral to the experience, so i’ll just miss the collective. but it’s scary and exciting. i’m ready for whatever comes next.” 

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

she’s trying to remember who’s over there. “oh, i’m dying to meet romi and naomi. for obvious reasons, but really everyone. it was bizarre meeting these guys after catching them on tv. just comparing them to their virtual selves, you know? would love to meet the ladies.” 

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

“i think frankie will take miles. i hope she does, anyway. no disrespect to what she has back at the villa, but i think they’re so well suited and just really fun. and then i suspect adela’ll make it back. can’t say why or with whom, she just has that sort of personality. like, mad scrappy and ambitious, and she’s been putting in work. with mal it’s a tough one... she might’ve played it too risky going guns blazing for josh, but i hope she gets brought back. can’t really speak on what’s going on with layla or phoebe. who knows. things change really fast. i think we’re all as excited as the people watching from home to see how it turns out. fingers crossed.”

♡ 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]

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.”

𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨   ;    ʙᴇᴀᴄʜ ʜᴜᴛ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛ !

what are your thoughts on max & dejan’s exit last night? why didn’t you vote for them?

         “ man, was that only last night ?  that feels like ages ago. ”  frankie waits for clarification from the camera crew.  it’s true what they say — a day on the inside feels like a week on the outside. “ sorry. so much has happened in the past few days, it’s just like... the inside of my brain right now looks like you gave a child a magic marker and just let them go absolutely balls-to-the-wall wild with it. ”  last night, she’d been crying about max leaving ( but it was hay fever ), fighting with callie, and then attempting to patch things up with her. today, she can’t even think about any of that, because she was yanked out of bed at the crack of dawn and transplanted to a new villa, with six new people.  “ i wanted to vote for them, but callie wanted rhys and bash. she’s been here longer, she knows the group dynamics better, so ultimately i let her do the choosing. it hurt to see max go, but i trust callie’s judgement. ” 

how are you feeling about the start of casa amor?

        “ honestly, i’m not gonna lie, i still don’t really know what casa amor is ? it’s like, we’re taken from our original partners and given all these new options ?  why not just put them in with all of us ? ”  unless the intention is to see if their behaviour differs when they’re away, like a boys holiday to ibiza where everybody fucks a stranger. but nobody’s official at the moment, so it feels like there’s not that much at stake. “ it’s actually nice to be away from all the drama. i know some of the originals — us, not the vampires — are super depressed about the whole thing, but that’s such a buzzkill for the new people. like, they’re just trying to have a good time, don’t shit all over them because you can’t get your dick sucked. i’m just gonna go with the flow and try to enjoy it, because you never know when you’re gonna get sent home to florida. ”  

are there any new islanders that have caught your attention? who?

      “ yeah, but more in a you seem fun to hang out with way than in a damn girl way. val’s sexy, mali’s cool, layla has a good vibe. even phoebe, which shocked me, because i did cheer in high school and had a really bad experience that basically scarred me for life. you ever see the movie easy a ?  it was like that but with cheerleaders. but phoebe’s not a bitch. uh... who else ?  miles caught my attention, mostly because he blundered through his introduction. ”  frankie’s snort-laughing as she attempts an impression. “ hi, i’m... smoking hot ! ”   she’s definitely not gonna let that one go.  “ but it was actually really endearing. he’s hot, he’s made it pretty clear he thinks i’m hot, and josh said he’s into me and that i should give him a shot. jury’s still out on whether i will. ” shrugging her shoulders, she bites down on her lip. “ i’m not actively looking to get to know someone, because i’m very happy in my current couple. but if somebody stumbles into my eyeline and there’s a vibe ?  i’m not going to shut anything down before i decide it’s run its course. ”

are there any new islanders you don’t see yourself vibing with?

     “ adela, which is a bummer because she’s super cute, but i can already tell she doesn’t like me and has like a wasp in her vag about it. i don’t know if she feels threatened because the title of resident sporty good time girl has already been claimed, or if she just hates the fact that everyone wants to fuck me, but it sounds like a her problem. i’m not getting involved. take it up with the ofcom therapist, dude. ”

do you think that your head could be turned?

        frankie purses her lips, considering her answer ( which is more than she’s done for any of the other questions ).  “ honestly, not really. i think they’d have to graft really hard to turn my head. callie and i have a good thing going, i’m excited to see if it becomes more than what it is. but at the same time, it’s been four days, and i said i wanted to keep my options open so... i’m not gonna shoot anyone down on day one. if they want to put their grafting boots on, they’re welcome to — who am i to stop people from telling me i’m sexy — but yeah, i don’t know if anyone else will have that same intensity and that chemistry with me that callie does. ” 

what do you think your ‘other half’ is up to in the other villa right now? how are you feeling about them?

    “ oh man, callie is gonna be so pissed about this. i’m just hoping she takes this as like, a good opportunity. obviously you get tested in the real world. people will hit on me, people will hit on her, sometimes we’ll want to explore that, and we’ll have to navigate that as a couple if this is going to work. ”  all of that’s true, and it doesn’t help that probably six out of six bombshells will be attempting to whistle careless whisper against callie’s snatch, but frankie has faith. “ selfishly, i hope she isn’t currently dry-humping some random from michigan, but i don’t put it past the bombshells not to lay it on like war paint. callie’s the fittest girl in there, she’s got a good heart, and she’s popular with viewers. i wanted her enough to steal her, so why wouldn’t they ?  i just hope she decides that i’m worth the trouble of sticking around. ”

MILES: CASA AMOR DAY 4

how are you feeling about the recoupling tonight?

“ i’m honestly chilled about it ? i think frankie and i have a really good thing going . . . yeah, i’m pretty confident she still wants to see where things go between us, and if she doesn’t ? well, i guess sendin’ me home would be the right thing to do, yeah. ” though he thinks it actually would surprise him a bit if she did. not that he can’t handle rejection, but it’d hurt like a bitch to find out that way. didn’t think he’d actually feel invested when it all seemed like a bit of fun a few days ago.

do you think you’ve made strong connections in the villa?

“ like i said, we’ll see about me and frankie tonight, but i’m feeling good. very good. but . . . aside from that, my best connection is with josh. not like tha’, obviously, he’s straight as ruler an’ won’t hesitate to tell you as much, but we got on pretty quick, i like hangin’ out with him. it’d be a real bummer if i didn’t go back and we had to stop chilling, you know ? ” 

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

“ oh, jeez. is it bad if i say callie ? i just feel like all this talk about her, i’m really interested to see what she’s like. i know she’s important to frankie, too, so, yeah, i’m proper curious. feels like she won’t like me, but you never know. part of me feels like if frankie likes her, of course we’ll get on. would be pretty fun to meet josh’s girlfriends, too. ” 

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

“ i don’t know, it’s all a bit confusing ? with dylan and phoebe sharing a bed so much, i really felt like the two of us would be goin’ back together. but apparently last night he shared with adela ? i didn’t know she liked him, since she told me she had a thing for frankie. but you know what they say – it moves fast in here. i’ll just be bummed if phoebe’s not there. and mali, too, like josh’s been great, but it’s good to get a girl’s perspective on stuff, y’know ? and she’s so smart. val and marcus real close, though, they’re cute as fuck, too, so that seems like more of a given. ”

adela&josh / day 32 / gym ​

so little of the original islanders in casa recoupled that, other than miles, adela only really knows them. she can’t stay by dylan’s side night and day, can’t avoid frankie forever, doesn’t want to face bash so early considering things, maddox is gone, and marcus... she doesn’t want to be anywhere near that, which means josh is her only lifeline in times of boredom. “ i never got to thank you for not bringing mali back in the end, by the way. ” she launches herself off his shoulders, hoping the mali is a bitter fucking bitch narrative wins over adela’s a fake ass snake in the end. “ she slept with you; i knew that was a red flag. ”
