You and Logan were taken to a dock, it was a quiet and private area. On your way there you noticed a blanket with some pillows and a small basket.
“Look!” You pointed towards the end of the dock.
You headed up to the area prepared by production, Logan following a few steps behind. Both of you took a seat across each other and shared a timid look. The scene in front of you felt like something out of a movie. The sky glowed in shades of apricot and soft purples.
Whoever is responsible for organizing the date has truly outdone themselves.
He glanced at the basket. “This is nice,” Logan said as he looked through its contents. There was a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket, a few snacks and an envelope.
Curious about what the envelope contained you grabbed it and opened it. There was a card with a short message addressed at you.
“YN, enjoy your date,” you read aloud. “Your time in the villa officially starts now.”
You finished reading the card, cheering internally as you felt a rush of emotions hit you. This was starting to feel really real.
Logan smiled at your noticeable excitement. He reached for the bottle and opened it. As he removed the cork a loud pop followed, a cloud of white mist drifted into the air. You picked up two flutes from the basket and watched as he poured the bubbly golden liquid.
“Cheers!” you said back while clinking your glasses together. Both of you took a sip, enjoying the sweetness of the fruit-like flavors in the drink.
He kept his eyes on you, never looking away.
“Tell me about you.” Logan asked.
“What do you want to know?” you replied and took a sip of your drink again.
“Just random things,” he continued, “Like are you a cat or dog person.”
“I like both to be honest,” you let out a chuckle, knowing that he was trying to ease some of the awkwardness present in the air. It is normal since you were getting to know each other for the first time. “I have a dog though, she's like the cutest dog ever.”
“Really? I love dogs,” Logan said. “What's her name?”
“Her name is Lola,” you answered, thinking of her back at your parents house probably causing chaos since she's a bit of a spoiled brat.
You and Logan talked for a while, the conversation flowed easily with him. The flutes long forgotten. At one point he sat closer to you, your body only inches away from him. He started drawing circles on your knee. His gentle touch allowed you to feel at ease as you spent more time with him.
“What do you do for work?” you found yourself asking. A job can inform or expose what type of person someone is. You felt it was an essential question to test your compatibility with someone.
“I'm a firefighter,” Logan answered with confidence. He pulled his hand away and ran a hand through his hair. You loved how soft and messy it looked.
You widened your eyes, clearly expecting something else. He seemed like a calm guy and a job like that was the opposite of calm.
“It must be stressful,” you voiced, knowing that a job like that is dangerous and can go south really quick.
He nodded, “Sometimes it is, but I love it. The feeling of helping in rescue operations and in some cases being the first to provide medical care is indescribable.
“What about you, what do you do?” Logan asked, slowly reaching for your legs. You slightly shifted and moved your legs. Your legs rested on his lap and he continued his previous touch.
“Mine seems a little silly now compared to yours” you laughed, covering your smile with your hand. Something you do sometimes when you smile. “I own an online jewelry shop.”
Talking about you business always made you shy, even though you were incredibly proud of it. Most of your jewelry was handmade and it was actually a pretty successful business. Logan seemed interested, now observing your accessories.
“Is that from your store?” he pointed to the piece on your right arm.
You looked at the golden arm cuff that was around your arm and nodded, “Yes, all of the accessories I'm wearing right now are from my shop.”
You explained every piece and he just listened. He listened without taking his eyes off you. Even after you finished talking, he kept staring. His face softened, a flicker of a smile crossed his face.
“What?” you asked, biting your lip anxiously. Maybe you talked too much and he was bored of you already. It is not the first time someone told you so, you thought about the last time you were in a relationship.
“Nothing. You are cute,” he said softly.
Logan caught you off guard. You felt a wave of heat rolling up to your neck, a faint pink coloring your cheeks. He opened his mouth probably to keep complimenting you but before he could you interrupted.
“How is your connection with Sidney?,” you questioned. You were curious about how he felt about her, was he really interested in pursuing her or was he open to exploring your connection? The point of the show was to explore your strongest connection and even though it was still early you wanted to know where he stood. The date was going well and you didn't want to be disappointed once both of you returned to the villa.
“I've been coupled up with her since the season started,” Logan began to explain. “I don't want to lie to you and say there's nothing going on,” he added.
You felt your chest tighten but he was not done talking.
“We currently have a connection but I—,” he paused. “What I'm feeling with you is different,” Logan confessed.
You felt yourself smiling at his words and said, “I hope you are not lying.”
Logan grabbed your hands and pressed his lips against them, silently reassuring you that he meant every word.
“I promise you I definitely want to keep exploring this connection,” he expressed.
“I would like that,” you admitted feeling your heart pounding against your chest.
The waves crashing in the background, a soothing breeze caressing both of you and a beautiful dark sky illuminated by the moon set the perfect atmosphere. Production started signaling both of you that it was almost time to go but you didn't want the night to end. Anything could happen in the villa and that thought frightened you.
You glanced at Logan's lips, he quickly noticed it. He leaned closer, his gaze locking on your lips. You also leaned closer until your noses were almost touching. Logan didn't hesitate before gently cupping your chin and finally connecting your lips. You kissed him back instantly and he moved his hand to the back of your neck while deepening the kiss.
Not feeling close enough, you separated slightly and settled onto his lap with your knees on either side of him. Once you shifted you chased his lips again and your hands explored his chestnut locks. As a response one of his hands found your lower back and the other one stayed at the back of your neck. You felt electricity running through your whole body.
Production called you both over interrupting the kiss, the date was over and it was time to return to the villa. You felt your cheeks heating up as you remembered you were in public with cameras surrounding both of you. You separated yourself from Logan and shyly grinned.
He grinned back and replied, “Hi.”
