Being in the villa wasn't easy by any means. Most people from an outside view see it as fun or even from some on the inside its money and fame. For you, it's not.
You've been watching love island since season one, and you knew one day you wanted to have that same experience. But as the show started gaining popularity, the people watching the show became mean.
You thought, fuck it. It was always something you wanted, but now, being in the villa and not knowing what people were saying drove you insane.
And that wasn't it. You had fallen decently fast - faster than you had hoped. And tonight is a brand-new recoupling.
The first recoupling was fine, the bombshell didn't strike his eye much. But this one did, he had a few conversations with her. She had even gotten the opportunity to take him away from the villa, along with Bryce.
It had your heart sinking to your ass.
You and Zach had conversations about it, he was nothing but truthful for all you know. And he had been decent about reassuring. You just can't help but worry.
From the second the recoupling got announced you were worried, like out of your own mind worried. You were preparing yourself for what was going to happen, you could get kicked from the island, left single. And what would the fans be thinking? That you were stupid for falling so fast? That you should've seen this coming?
You were relaxing with Zach on the couch by the kitchen when it was announced that it was time to get ready. While the two of you sat there not much was said, he did little things to make you feel comforted, he squeezed your hand, complimented you, rubbed your thigh.
Once you started getting up he stopped you, "Are you okay?" He asks in a soft tone. His thumb rubbed across the back of your hand. "Yeah, I'm alright." You reply, pressing a kiss against his soft cheek.
You headed up stairs and began getting ready, "How's everyone feeling?" Aniya asks.
"I'm nervous," said Melanie. "Shit, me too." You reply.
"Why are you nervous y/n?" Aniya asks.
It felt wrong to talk about it while the bombshell was in the room, it's not like you'd say anything bad but it'd be really embarrassing if you were talking about how much you liked him and then she was the one who ended up getting him.
"Fuck I don't know - I like him, maybe a little too soon but I'm nervous to see what his decision is." You answer.
Kayda, across the room looks at you softly, part of that lifted weight off your chest, knowing she wasn't about to act a certain way made you feel at least slightly better.
"Have you guys talked at all? Like has he reassured you?" Aniya asks.
"I mean, to the best of his ability, I want him to explore but I also don't want him to lie." All the girls agreed.
"I think he really likes you," Kenzie chips in. "He always looks at you with the craziest eyes and he's always talking to Bryce about you."
"That is true." Trinity adds.
Their words bring some form of comfort to your soul, knowing that even if he doesn't pick you there was something there eased your mind.
You continue getting ready, allowing the other girls to talk about their connections as well.
Zach walks in out of nowhere, surprising the shit out of you. "I'm sorry ladies, do you mind if I consult with y/n for a moment?" He asks.
"Yeah of course" They all say in an excited manner.
You hop out of your chair, makeup just a few steps from done. "What's up?" You ask, grabbing his hand as you walk.
"I want you to help pick my outfit, you know, for Ariana." He teases.
You lightly push his shoulder, "Yeah sure." you reply.
The two of you walk in the bedroom and walk to his wardrobe, he walks up to it and opens the door, "I needed to see what color you're wearing, so we can match a little" He says, a smile sneaking onto his face.
You try and hold your blush back, butterflies creep into your stomach. You wore a red haltar top dress, he wore a white button up to match.
He walks you back to the room and before you walk back inside he stops you, cupping your face, "You're amazing y/n, I don't want you to worry." He says, his big doe eyes looking into yours. You nod your head, gently rubbing his forearm as he presses a kiss onto your forehead.
You finish getting ready with less worry in your head, of course overthinking was normal, but now after that interaction you felt like you couldn't hold back the smile.
Finally, you all walk down the stairs, the boys cheering as you do. You all walk over to the table, cheering your drinks and taking a sip while all engaging in a group conversation.
Suddenly your focus on the conversation was taken away by a voice, "Hello islanders." Ariana says, walking into the villa, looking hot as ever.
Everyone's facial expression changes now worried for what's about to come.
"May you all meet me at the firepit?" She asks.
You all walk over, sitting in your couples around the warm fire. "I hope you're all doing well. Tonight, there will be a recoupling - Girls, may you please stand at the front?"
Your heart drops to your ass, you watch as he slowly escapes from your reach. He keeps his eyes on you the whole time, as the other guys give their speech and pick their girls.
It felt like you had waited for the whole group to go when in reality, you only had to wait for three people.
"Zach, please pick your girl and tell us why." Ariana announces.
Your heart begins to race, your cheeks become rosy.
"I would like to couple up with this girl because from the second we got here she was just an absolute ray of sunshine. She's been nothing but good to me and our conversations just flow so easily. She's incredibly beautiful and I'm honestly worried about how fast I've been falling for her. I can't see myself sharing a bed with anyone else, so the girl I'd like to couple up with is.. Y/n."
Air that felt lost finally fills in your lungs again, your eyes light up with a certain kind of sparkle immediately. You copuldn't hold the smile back anymore.
You don't waste anytime, you run into his arms right away. His grip tightens against your lower back as he lifts you slightly off the ground.
He lowers you back down, pressing a kiss onto your lips before sitting back down. "Thank you" You whisper in his ear.
