A Bit of Me - EP12 Pt2 The Hoodie And The Damage Done (Day 10 and part 2.)

Summary: There are changes afoot in the Villa.

Narrator Iain Stirling (voice over): Previously on Love Island… Some of our Islanders settled into their cosy couples… While others decided to stir the pot!  The excitement and drama of the Villa is in high gear!

Kitchen:

Who would steal a rubber ring out of the smoothie box? You smiled after making a humorous remark and laughing at yourself. “I’d steal an O-ring.”

The corner of Gary's lips hung open for a moment. ”What?” After that, he gave you a curious look before asking, "Is that meant to be rude?"

You said, "A little," and your gazes became fixed on each other. You bit your bottom lip. Gary laughed and grinned cheekily at you before saying, "Let's hope it's not little, then!"

Beach Hut Lucas: “Priya is fit. She is stylish, confident and ambitious. Up until now she carried herself really well. It looks like she wants Noah now. But I’m not sure she really knows what she wants.”

Beach Hut Gary: “That could cause a little battle there, innit? Yeah. They could end up butting heads, to be honest. Noah’s gonna have a tricky situation here. Two confident, ambitious, and beautiful women in front of him.”

Thanks so much to @yuyinator for this commission of Long Bob McKenzie and Lady Scarlet from my fic Edge of the World!

For anyone who enjoyed that fic, I have some good news! The sequel (as yet unnamed - send help) is in the works and coming soon! I'm super excited to start sharing it soon, but in the meantime, I've been dying to share this art and didn't want to wait anymore.

(I also wrote a related oneshot back in October (for the spooky prompt on the LITGFF subreddit) called Dead Men Tell No Tales, which takes place in between the events of EOTW and the unnamed sequel.)

SUMMARY: The Islanders recoupled, and things are hotting up!

You trace your fingertips along his formidable biceps to his forearms and trace his piston tattoo. A looks a little bit lighter than the other ones, and a little faded. “I love your tattoo. What’s the piston tattoo about?”

“Ah, that’s my very first tattoo. I’m really into machines and mechanical stuff, like model building, woodworking, y’know stuff like that. Symbolises power, endurance, and, I guess, tirelessness at work. When I was a kid, one of my toys was this train set, so it means a lot to me. Brings back happy memories.” He looks a bit wistful, like he’s guarding something private. I better leave it for now. We all have our past secrets.

A moment later, the shadow on his face is gone, and he’s beaming at you again. “Suits me, right?”

“Yeah. I can’t deny that.” You let out a giggle and manoeuvred behind him, wrapping your arms and legs around him. You gently kiss the soft skin on his gear tattoo, and Gary shivers against your lips.

“Ah!.”

“What about these?” You gently ran your hands over the gear tattoo and said, “You're a decent spoon.”

He chuckled. “I just really like gears and, like, knowing how things work. The mechanisation of things.”

“And the lightsaber?” You questioned before acknowledging, “It represents ‘a force within!”

“Yeah. Y’know I’m a hardcore Star Wars fan. I’m glad we have that in common.” He continued explaining, “I had the tattoo done as a reminder that you can gain control and overcome any obstacle in your life. It’s a symbol for strength and courage.”

You pointed to the bottom of his leg tattoo, asking, “Is that a scar?”

“Yeah.”

“How did that happen?”

Gary rolled his eyes. “Oh, my nan's puppy was a little knobhead. Fucking hell. He used to bully me all the time. He was horrible to me.Love him to bits now, but…” He trails off.

You chuckled. “I think I'm gonna love him. What’s his name?”

Gary huffed. “Ollie. She should have named him Cujo. He can be an arsehole to new people.”

Next: OPERATION HOPE BEGINS...

Iain Stirling: It’s time for a challenge, and this one’s called ‘Meet Your Match.’ When our Islanders applied, they filled out detailed questionnaires. We have shamelessly stolen a load of confidential information from the questionnaires for ‘The Compatibility Test’. (It's all the rage right now.) And ran it through a complex algorithm on the Love Island supercomputer. Nay, okay, we showed it to Andy the Intern. And he ranked the five boys with each girl in terms of compatibility. The girls will take turns trying to rank the boys in order of their compatibility. They’ll place a love heart emoji on the boy she thinks is most compatible with them, and a sad face emoji on the least compatible boy. She will then arrange the rest of the boys. Every time a girl needs to re-jig the order, she gets a mark.The girl with the least marks wins.

Love Island: EP16 Aftersun 2

At the VIP table is Gary's Nan, Helen.

Gary's nan, Helen: I’m pretty sure if any of us had a camera on us 24/7 at 20-23, there’d be some pretty damning footage.

Helen: I reckon when he gets home, I'll send him to the freezer for a bit.

SUMMARY: Love Island: Aftersun is filmed at BT Studios in Stratford, East London with a live audience. It airs live every Sunday at 10pm for an hour and five minutes, straight after the main show. The show consists of interviews with dumped Islanders, friends and family members and also features celebrity guests.

HOST: O.M.G. with an extra-G. What a week our Islanders have had! There’s been some spicy drama, from Operation Nope to secrets revealed, dumpings, dates, a recoupling, and new bombshells. But before we get into all of that, tonight we have a S1 Love Island legend behind the bar. Give it up for Talia, everyone! And keeping those barstools warm, we’ve got Henrik and Rocco, who will be giving their first interview since leaving the villa. And at our VIP table, we have Gary’s nan, Helen, and his best mate, Dickie.

New Bonue Chapter on A03 and wattpad

TEASER SCRIPT- read full script on A03 or Wattpad. Links above.

The camera pans to Talia, behind the bar and the two ex-Islanders sitting at the bar, who all smile and wave. And at our VIP table, we have Gary’s nan, Helen, and his best mate, Dickie.

Audience: CHEERING and APPLAUSE

Caroline: While 3 may be a crowd as far as Hope is concerned, but for us, it’s the magic number. Please welcome my naughty trio; it’s our panel: Superfans AJ Odudu, HRVY, and Mollie King.

CLIP PLAYS:

Chelsea: Oh my goodness! I’m on my way to the Villa. I can’t believe I’m actually going in there. I’m just so excited to see the villa and meet everyone. Gosh, they all seem so lush.

Jakub: I’m buzzing to get into the villa. These guys have been here for like ten days. Obviously, they’re a bit comfortable, but you know, hopefully when I come in, they’ll get a bit of me stepping on a few toes, which I am used to. I got really big feet. (He laughs.)

CLIP ENDS.

Caroline: Well, he did say, HRVY, that he’s willing to step on toes. Whose toes do you think he'll step on?

HRVY: Yeah! I’m going to curveball. I think he’s gonna step on Noahs.

AJ: Let’s just be honest. I mean Jakub makes the rest of the guys look like preschoolers. 

Caroline: AJ, what were your first impressions of Chelsea?

AJ: I like her and her high-energy! She’s bubbly and sweet. I think she’s gonna do really well.

Caroline: Just when one drama calms down, along comes Chelsea dropping the news about a secret kiss. Let’s remind everyone of that moment when she dropped the truth bomb.

CLIP PLAYS:

Chelsea: Lottie, I thought you were supposed to be the loyal one?

Lottie: I am!

Chelsea: Then how did you end up snogging Gary when you knew that Grace had something going on with him?

Grace: What the hell! So, that night, when Gary had to choose between Marisol and Hannah at the recoupling, Lottie cracked on with him!

Marisol: Wait, you kissed Gary when we’d only just couple up?

CLIP ENDS.

Caroline: Well, tonight we have two people who know Gary very well indeed. Please welcome his nan, Helen, and best friend, Dickie. 

Caroline: I got to ask: What’s on everyone’s lips. Helen, is your Sunday roast as good as Gary says?

Helen: I am a good cook. My roasties are up there. I think Gordon Ramsay-

~~~~~

Caroline: Do you feel there is any hope for Bobby and Lottie in the romance section? The girls keep saying he’s a nice, sweet guy, he’s certainly attractive.

AJ: I like Bobby. He has such a playful and boyish energy. I think he still has a crush on Grace. Maybe Priya too.

HRVY: I think Bobby has good chemistry with several of the girls, and after a night in the hideaway, maybe something a little bit more than that with Lottie. He’s still trying to figure it all out.

~~~~~

S1 Talia at the Bar

Caroline: Talia, You know what it's like to be in there at the start. Especially if you haven’t found the right person. Is it important to lay it on thick and pick one person quite quickly or should you be holding back and waiting?

Talia: I think, early doors for many Islanders still, it’s good to keep your options open. If you put all your eggs in one basket, it can be very difficult and it can end up shooting you in the foot.

Caroline: What are your thoughts on Bobby and Lottie?

Talia: I think now it’s very much a friendship vibe. He does seem to care about her well-being. I like seeing that fun side of her when she’s just chilling with him.

~~~~~

In The Beach Hut

Caroline: Live from the Beach Hut, it’s Gary, everyone!

Gary appears on the big screen sitting in the wicker chair in the Beach Hut.

Caroline: How is life in the villa treating you?

Gary: Oh, amazing. I can’t moan can I? I’m in paradise. It’s probably gonna be one of the best summer’s of my life, to be honest.

Caroline: So, we thought we’d play a quick game of Rate Your Mate, since there seems to be a lot of bromances this year. Are you ready to spill the tea?

Gary: Yeah, I’m up for it. Let’s do it.

Caroline: Who is the messiest?

Gary: Me.

LAUGHTER

Caroline: Gary, who has the best banter out of the boys?

Gary: Er, the best banter has got to be Bobby. I feel like he’s been my favourite on ‘ere.

Caroline: Who has the best gym bod?

Gary: Erm… Jakub, the lad’s a beast.

Caroline: Moving on. Tell me, who takes the longest to get ready?

Gary: Oh. (he groans) Aw, mate! I’d say probably Lucas. All the hair gel.

~~~~~

Caroline: What do you think about Marisol and Lucas?

AJ: I think they make an attractive couple. They're both attractive and intelligent, but I think that’s it for commonality. I don’t see any chemistry between them. I think they're both place holders for each other.

Caroline: Ouch!

~~~~~

Caroline: It’s Henrik and Rocco!

Rocco: I didn’t think I’d be going today, to be honest. I was meant to be making Marisol breakfast tomorrow morning.

Henrik: I think I was supposed to be having a bubble bath with Lucas tomorrow.

Caroline: I know, it's not even been a week, but as you said, it feels like a long time. People already have connections. You’ve kinda got to be Mr. Steal Your Girl.

Henrik: Mm-hm. Some were pretty closed off, so it was definitely hard. It’s tough to come in and try to make an impact. You know, a few started to crack a little bit towards the end. But nonetheless, I had a lot of fun and still did what a bombshell should do.

Caroline: All right. Rocco, you were getting to know Marisol. Are you disappointed that you didn’t have more time to explore that further?

Rocco: Yeah, definitely. Time is always so fleeting when you don’t want it to be. Hopefully, I’ve given her something to remember me by. Our spirits are really aligned, like, cosmically.

~~~~~

Caroline: Alright, let’s get back to our couples. Obviously, tonight we’ve seen things kick off between Hope and Noah. But let’s go back a couple of days and talk about ‘Operation Nope.’ AJ, you want to start?

AJ: It's Love Island. You don't have to make excuses to graft! Just admit you’re into Noah and own your shit.

HRVY: And poor Ibrahim! He's just sitting there, like, "okay.” 

AJ: I was truly baffled by Bobby's underlying motivation for doing this. He seems to be close with every girl, so it could be that he is simply showing his support for her.

~~~~~

Caroline: Just wondering, does anyone fancy another quick trip to Mallorca? We have a special treat now. Welcome to Aftersun, Chelsea and Grace!

Both girls wave both hands excitedly and smile brightly.

Caroline: Chelsea, you’ve settled in really, really well. How have the Islanders made you feel welcome?

Chelsea: Yeah. Oh, my God, they’re all diamonds. Honestly, straight away, I feel like I’m just part of the weird family.

Caroline: Let’s find out how well you know your fellow Islanders. Are you ready?

Caroline: Jakub’s worst habit is biting his nails. Is that true or false?

Caroline: Lottie… had a Justin Bieber poster under her bed. Is that true or false?

Caroline: Hope’s secret talent is playing the guitar. Is that true or false?

~~~~~

Caroline: it’s time for another week of quickie with our islanders.

Chelsea: What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

Lucas: That’s top secret! We have to maintain some mystery. 

Bobby: What superpower would you choose?

Chelsea: I’d wanna read minds, so totes. Think of the gossip you’d hear! I’d love to know what goes through peoples heads.

Bobby: Invisibility—imagine all the cool pranks you could do with this, like pretending to be a poltergeist.

~~~~~

Caroline: There seems to be another love triangle forming between Noah, Hope, and Priya. The latest challenge led to some saucy revelations. Priya revealed Noah is considering choosing her at the next recouple, leaving Hope and Noah questioning their relationship. Hope and Noah are on the rocks at the moment.

AJ: Yeah, it’s the moment Priya goes, “Your relationship is falling apart. Noah and I would be a better couple, and she’s gonna fight for that to happen." War declared. The moment those words come out, savage.

Caroline: It’s like the Battle of Noah, isn’t it?

HRVY: It’s great telly, innit it?

Caroline: Talia, what is it like in there when tensions are running high? Can you escape it?

Talia: You can’t escape it. You can’t get out. Literally. But, me, personally, I would just go to the daybed. Get my favourite snack and just ignore people.

Caroline: Unbothered queen. That’s why we love you.

~~~~~

Caroline: Our Islanders are having the summer of a lifetime in their very own sun-kissed paradise, and no two days are ever the same. This season, a separate villa called Casa Amor will be introduced. Existing couples will be temporarily separated, and the Islanders will have the opportunity to form connections with the new arrivals. 

The screen flashes to six new attractive boys and six new beautiful girls.

Audience: CHEERING and APPLAUSE

Caroline: After a few days, there will be a recoupling ceremony where they will decide whether to stay loyal to their original partners or switch to a new Casa Amor connection. Will the Islanders stay loyal, or will their heads turn?

HRVY: I think it’s gonna be an issue for a few people.

Caroline: Do you think our Islanders haven’t really been tested enough, Talia?

Talia: I think this type of separation will test all their loyalties and might dredge up prior relationship baggage and trust issues.
