You and Steve had been going strong for the last couple of weeks up until Molly decided to re-couple with him just a couple of days ago.
You both still slept every night out in soul ties, maybe doing more than just sleeping, but you would never let her come between you two.
Molly was very vocal on the fact that Steve should sleep with his couple, but it was only background noise to you.
All the islanders were lounging around in their couples, except you and Steve, who chose to lie in the swing chair together.
"I got a text!" Angel yells from across the villa. "Islanders, it's time to see who is driving America crazy in today's challenge. #MotorMouth #BackseatDriver."
Screams are heard from around the villa, and you can't help but get a little nervous at the thought of hearing America's opinion on you. What if they thought Molly was a better fit for Steve? What if they think you're too clingy? So many thoughts run through your head, and Steve notices how quiet you got.
"Baby, you okay?" You look up at him, eyebrows scrunched in worry. "Hey, hey, Y/N. It's okay. What's wrong?"
You shake your head. "It's just- what if they hate me? What if they don't like us together? Steve, it would break me." You were not one to be insecure or care what others think, but knowing millions of people across the world are watching you're every move will do that to you.
"Don't think that way, baby. If they're watching the show, they'll see that we do have something. And if they don't think so? Fuck them. I like you, you like me, and that's all that matters." He says before placing a soft kiss on your lips.
You smile and really take in what he tells you. It's just you and Steve. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
After traveling to the challenge's location, you are all teamed up with your current couples. Unfortunately for you, that means Steve is with Molly, and you are with Jake.
The challenge is to read the tweet that America has posted, then fill in the blanks with who you think fits the tweet best.
Angel walks up first and takes the first speeding ticket and reads it out loud.
Everyone laughs while Angel thinks about who she thinks fits this tweet the best.
“I think this is Adam!” Angel shouts and makes her way to the second ticket to reveal the correct answer.
“I got it right! It’s Adam!” Other islands discuss how Adam would be such a ladies' man, and how the girls are probably thirsting over him back home.
“I feel honored.” Adam jokes.
Jake reads the card out loud, and he knows exactly who this is about; he doesn’t even need to think.
“I think this is Y/N and Steve because they really have the best connection in here, and they don’t let anything get in the way of their relationship!”
You and Steve look at each other, smiles on your faces because the whole villa agrees with that statement.
Molly stares daggers at you while standing next to Steve. Jack sent a bit of shade towards her with that last part, but it was the truth. They weren’t letting her get between them.
Jake reveals that he was correct, and it puts your mind at ease that America sees your connection with Steve as something positive.
The next to walk up to the speeding tickets is Molly, and you’re nervous.
She laughs before she reads it out loud.
“Yes! I knew America was on my side! I’m going to go with ‘Y/N’ can not take the hint. Let ‘Molly’ sleep with her man!”
Sounds of gasps and ‘ooo’s are heard among the other islands.
“If that’s how you feel, then let’s see this answer card.” You say with full confidence. If they see Steve and your connection as the realest one in the villa, there’s no way that Molly can be right about this tweet.
She walks over to the second speeding ticket, and her face drops. “Molly can not take the hint. Let Y/N sleep with her man.” She says before walking back to stand next to Steve, face as red as a tomato.
You have to hold back a laugh, not wanting to stoop to her level, but it felt good to see her get humbled by America.
A couple more people go, and then it’s finally your turn.
Your stomach turns at what could be on the card, and oh, was it a messy tweet.
Another round of gasps comes from all the couples, and you look over at Steve to ease your anxiety. He gives you a nod to tell you that it’s okay.
“Um, I’m going to go with, ' Why would Molly steal Steve from Y/N?” You say quietly.
There’s tension throughout the islanders because no one is on Molly's side, but America doesn’t seem to like her, and you have to remember that she did it to herself.
You grab the answer card and reveal it to everyone. “I was right!” You yell and walk back to your place next to Jake, and that ends the challenge.
It felt good to hear that America is on your side and thinks that Molly was playing dirty. You were so nervous going into today’s challenge, thinking that America could have hated you, but it was the complete opposite.
After a long day out in the sun, filming that challenge, everyone is finally back in the villa. You and Steve lie together in the speakeasy, wanting some privacy after spending the whole day with the other couples.
You sit in a comfortable silence, almost about to drift off before Steve speaks up. “America likes us.” He laughs while running his hand up and down your arm. You’re nuzzled against his side, head on his chest.
You look up at him with a smile. “I guess they do.”
