as soon as his smile drops she feels worse. she’s upset over her conversation with callie solely because she’s sure it will hinder her relationship with dylan somehow. just like why she was annoyed in the first place about callie choosing her, adela’s worried that the tiniest thing she does wrong could blow them up and callie’s opinion, or more adela’s reaction to it, feels like it’s a gigantic nuke ready to obliterate them. she’s sure dylan’s also sick of having these conversations but, as always, he’s ready to listen to her out first, her fingers clinging to his. “ so, she sort of apologised for picking me in that game the other day… but she said there was no one else to pick and… well, i called that out because, like, sorry, but i think that’s bullshit ? so i said like, obviously there were other people, like josh or naomi or jenny or frankie, like there were other people. and she was like ‘ no, cause they’re my friends ’ and things annoy angel if she picks frankie or whatever… which, fine, i guess, but then, i said, like, even if they’re your friends, naomi and jenny have done stuff in their couples that’s worse than me for movie night, but then she brought up, like, bash, which felt really fucking weird ‘cause it was so long ago, like she’d been holding that against me this entire time… which, okay… but she kept saying she had no problem with me and wanted us to get along but like, i don’t think that’s true because clearly she does have a problem with me ? like, there’s obviously some unresolved stuff there. ” adela may have made it worse for herself with movie night but whatever callie has against her has been brewing since casa ended and adela joined the main villa so she finds it a bit hypocritical she’s claiming to have no beef. “ she just really didn’t seem to listen to anything i was saying and, like, she genuinely couldn’t give a fuck i was upset about it and was just like, ‘ it was a game, don’t take it seriously…’ ” she sighs, annoyed that she is taking a game so seriously, but callie’s opinion on her doesn’t feel like a joke she can take lightly. she doesn’t get how they can just move on and get along when she thinks that about her, and adela can’t muster it in herself to just play nice or pretend like callie is so comfortable doing. ” like, i tried to explain how i felt and why it annoyed me, and that like, it was serious to me because i obviously care about what she thinks, and you do, and it felt like she was throwing everything back in my face. so i said, like, i wouldn’t wanna be friends with someone who viewed me like that— and then she literally, like, the only thing she said was ‘ well, if you can’t handle a game, we don’t have to be mates ’… so i just was like, fine, we won’t be friends then, and left… ‘cause like, I’m not opening myself up to her like that and trying to explain why it’s not just a game for me… just for her to be like you can’t take a game, like… am i being ridiculous ? ” she can’t tell if it all sounds so fucking stupid, whether she’s made a tiny, easy-to-forget-about issue into something way worse for no reason. “ it just wasn’t a productive conversation at all. i don’t know, we just don’t agree, i guess. ”
It’s not the first time Adela says a million things in under a minute, and while he’s used to it, he’s struggling a bit to keep up with her, purely because of the information dump. Still, he listens to the best of his abilities, giving her his full attention and focus. However, the more she talks, the more visibly confused and concerned he grows. He’s already talked to Callie right after the game, so he already knows her stance on this, but that had been before this talk went down, and if he knows his sister, he knows she might be looking at things differently now. He can read between the lines of what Adela’s saying: she wants Callie’s approval and not getting it in that moment makes her feel anxious about their relationship. She doesn’t need to say it, but he knows Adela well enough to see this. He doesn’t enjoy hearing that Callie wasn’t very responsive, but also, he’s not jumping to conclusions. Sure, he already knows about her perspective, but he’ll need to listen to his sister’s side of things, too.
“Okay,” he says when she finishes talking, waiting a little bit to see if she’s going to say some more. He blinks a little, rubbing the nape of his neck, taken aback by all of this. The last thing he wants is this, tension and drama between Adela and Callie. “Honestly, that was a lot, so give me second to just... register all of it,” he admits sheepishly, frowning lightly as he thinks. “I’m going to talk to Callie,” he says at first. “I mean, I’ve already talked to her about the game right afterwards, but I’m going to talk to her again. She doesn’t dislike you. I know you might not believe it, but she doesn’t dislike you. If she did, I’d be the first person to know this.” Because they both wouldn’t shy away from admitting what they think about their partners. There’s still so much he wants to say, but it’s all a mess in his head, and he’s slowly working on organizing his thoughts to share them with Adela. But he needs her to know this before they continue.
