Actually read the end🙏

As Ariana leaves, everyone gets up to give Hakeem and Andrea a hug. The mood is heavy, a mixture of sadness and unspoken tension still lingering in the air. Alexandra approaches Hakeem first, wrapping her arms around him.

"I hope you're still open to exploring connections outside the villa," she says softly.

Hakeem gives a small chuckle, his usual bright energy dimmed but still there. "Of course I will. Gotta keep the vibes alive, you know?"

She smiles. "I'm gonna miss your random bursts of energy around here."

He grins, though his eyes are glossy. "You know I had to keep you all entertained somehow."

CONFESSIONAL

"Although me and Hakeem weren't that close it still hurts to see him leaving, he was like the happy pill of the villa."

Then, she turns to Andrea. The tension from earlier has eased a bit, but Andrea's face is still tear-streaked as she sniffles softly. Alexandra places a comforting hand on her arm.

"Listen, this doesn't have to be the end of your connection with Rob," Alexandra says gently. "You can still explore that outside the villa."

Andrea nods, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Yeah, I know. It just sucks..."

CONFESSIONAL

"I hope Andrea knows that I don't have any ill intentions, and that we just did what we thought was right"

After a few more words of comfort, Alexandra steps back and watches as the others gather around Hakeem and Andrea, exchanging hugs and quiet words. She takes a seat by herself, her mind still replaying the confrontation with Aaron and Rob.

Louis notices her sitting alone and quickly joins her, slipping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her close. Without a word, he presses a soft kiss to her forehead.

"You did what you thought was right," he murmurs. "And that's okay."

Alexandra smiles at his reassurance, resting her head against his shoulder. "I'm not too bothered by what Aaron and Rob have to say," she admits. "But I am going to have to talk to them. There was no need for them to speak to me and the girls like that."

Louis nods slowly, his thumb softly rubbing her shoulder. "Yeah, they were out of line."

Her voice hardens slightly. "I don't appreciate people raising their voices at me. Nobody has ever done that, and they're not going to start doing it now just because they didn't get what they wanted."

They sit in silence for a moment, the noise of the others in the background, before Louis gives her arm a gentle squeeze. "Let's get some water," he suggests.

As they head to the kitchen, the air still feels heavy, a mix of unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Just as they reach the counter, Alexandra's ears pick up Aaron's voice from the other side of the villa.

"The girls are such idiots," he mutters to Rob. "They made such a selfish decision."

CONFESSIONAL

"I didn't know Aaron could even speak that much, I guess he just speaks when his boyfriend tells him to."

Alexandra stops in her tracks, her jaw clenching. Louis notices instantly.

"Do you want me to speak to him?" Louis asks, his voice calm but firm.

She shakes her head, exhaling slowly. "No. I'll do it later."

Louis doesn't push it, instead grabbing her water bottle and filling it up.

Moments later, Serena walks into the kitchen, her expression twisted with frustration. She doesn't say anything at first, just leans against the counter with a huff.

Alexandra takes one look at her and bursts out laughing. "Girl, I know."

Serena lets out an exasperated groan. "The whole situation is just dumb as fuck. Aaron's out there crying his heart out like it was Kaylor going home."

Louis chuckles. "Man's acting like he just lost the love of his life."

CONFESSIONAL

"Are we sure Aaron is in the right couple."

Serena rolls her eyes. "I'm sorry, but why is he more upset than Rob?"

Alexandra smirks. "Because Rob's not even going to leave, he's just being dramatic."

Louis shakes his head. "Honestly, it was a hard choice. They're acting like you guys had all these perfect options lined up."

Serena scoffs. "They had it easy choosing a boy, but for us? Nope. It wasn't as simple."

Louis leans against the counter. "I get it, though. I wasn't the one making the decision, so I can't complain."

Alexandra shrugs. "Rob's not leaving," she repeats with a grin. "He's just making a scene."

The girls are in the dressing room, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken tension. Jana sits on the edge of a bench, fiddling with the hem of her dress. "The boys hate me," she mutters, her voice cracking slightly.

Nicole, brushing her hair in the mirror, shakes her head. "The decision was fucked no matter who you guys picked," she says, her tone matter-of-fact. "They'd have been mad either way."

Alexandra, fixing her hair with precise movements, glances at Jana through the mirror. "They can hate whoever they want, but it's not going to change the fact that Andrea is going home," she says coolly. "And if Rob wants to follow her, be my guest. But we all know his ass is staying, so he needs to stop with the theatrics."

Liv, lounging on the opposite side of the room, lets out a sigh. "We didn't make the decision for them to like it. They can just get over it and shut the fuck up."

Before anyone can respond, the door creaks open. Andrea walks in, her face blotchy from crying, eyes glassy and distant.

The room falls into an awkward silence for a beat before Jana, ever the one to break the ice, softly asks, "Are you okay?"

Andrea's lips tremble as she answers, "No." Her voice is raw, a painful contrast to the snappy remarks that had been flying around moments earlier.

Without hesitation, the girls stand, moving to help her pack. Nicole folds a dress into Andrea's suitcase while Serena zips up her makeup bag. Leah holds out a pair of sandals, slipping them into the side pocket of Andrea's luggage.

Andrea wipes at her eyes, sniffling. "I get it. You guys have tried to explain it, but... it still doesn't make sense to me." She shakes her head, biting her lip. "I just feel like... why me?"

No one has a real answer for her. They exchange looks, but there's nothing left to say.

After a few more moments of packing, Andrea grabs her water bottle and mumbles, "I just need some air." She heads outside, the door closing softly behind her.

The silence lingers for a moment before Alexandra turns, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I bet Rob just told her he's not leaving."

Leah lets out a quiet laugh, shaking her head. "If he doesn't leave after everything he's been saying, he's fucked in the head."

That sends the girls into a fit of hushed giggles, even Jana cracking a small smile despite her earlier worries.

When Andrea returns, her face still a little puffy but composed, the girls jump back into action, helping her finish the last bit of packing. They zip up her suitcase, Liv grabbing the handle to wheel it out. The group moves together, supporting Andrea as they guide her down the stairs.

At the entrance, the islanders have gathered, Hakeem standing beside his suitcase, offering Andrea a sympathetic smile. The mood is somber, with a mix of quiet goodbyes and soft claps.

Alexandra gives Hakeem one last hug, resting her chin on his shoulder for a brief moment. "I hope you find a genuine connections outside the villa," she tells him, her voice soft but sincere.

Hakeem chuckles lightly. "I will be. Gotta keep the options open."

Stepping back, Alexandra's gaze shifts to Andrea, who is sobbing quietly in Rob's arms. Louis approaches Alexandra, slipping an arm around her waist as they watch the scene unfold.

Alexandra leans into him slightly, whispering, "She's been here longer than thirty minutes already." Her tone is light, but the subtle eye roll speaks volumes.

Louis stifles a laugh, his lips twitching. "You're terrible," he whispers back.

CONFESSIONAL

"Andrea girl, lingering about isn't going to make Rob leave. He was never leaving to begin with."

"Just observant," she replies with a smirk.

Finally, Andrea and Hakeem step forward, the islanders clapping softly as they walk away from the villa. Andrea clings to Rob for a moment longer before pulling away, her tears still flowing.

As the door closes behind them, Alexandra's eyes drift back to Rob, who's now being comforted by Aaron. The two boys are huddled together, Aaron's arm slung around Rob's shoulder as he murmurs something meant to console him.

Alexandra watches for a beat, then lets out a quiet scoff, shaking her head. Without another word, she turns away from the crowd.

As Alexandra walks away from the crowd, her mind still buzzing with the events of the night, she suddenly hears Liv's voice cutting through the air. "Can you believe what Andrea just told Rob?" Liv says, her tone incredulous. Alexandra slows her pace, her curiosity piqued, and heads toward Nicole and Liv, who are standing off to the side.

Nicole sighs, crossing her arms. "Andrea told Rob she selfishly would've wanted him to leave with her," she says, shaking her head. "And guess what? He said no."

Alexandra lets out a short, sharp scoff. "Of course he did," she mutters, rolling her eyes. "He's all talk and theatrics."

Without waiting for a response, she turns on her heel and strides off, joining Serena, Leah, and Jana, who are lounging in the sun lounge, still processing the night's drama. The atmosphere is thick with a mix of exhaustion and frustration.

Alexandra sinks into a seat and rubs her temples. "The boys have genuinely annoyed me tonight," she says, the words biting. "Aaron, especially, he's irritated me to my core. I want to speak to him about it, but not tonight. Tensions are too high, and I'm not about to argue with someone who's already acting out."

Jana leans back against the cushions, her voice quiet. "It just feels shitty knowing the boys wanted me to go home," she admits, her words heavy.

Leah shakes her head. "It doesn't matter what they want. We made our decision, and that's that. They can cry about it all they want."

Serena sighs, a mix of disbelief and exasperation lacing her words. "I just don't get why they're acting like this. Rob's known Andrea for four days. Four days! What's got them all acting like they've lost the love of their life?"

Alexandra lets out a dry laugh. "Exactly. How important can four days really be?"

As if on cue, Louis appears, a bowl of freshly cut fruit in his hands. His arrival instantly lightens the mood, and the girls' faces brighten.

"Thought you girls might want some snacks," Louis says with a small smile, placing the bowl down in front of Alexandra.

The girls coo at him, their earlier irritation momentarily forgotten. "You're actually the cutest," Leah says, popping a piece of pineapple into her mouth.

Alexandra grins up at him. "You're a star, Lou."

Louis leans down, pressing a quick kiss to Alexandra's forehead. "Anything for you," he whispers softly, making her cheeks flush just a little.

As the night begins to quieten down, the girls retreat to the dressing room, getting ready for bed. The tension still simmers beneath the surface, but the routine of skincare and pajamas offers a small sense of normalcy.

Leah, peering through the window, suddenly lets out a snort. "Rob's sleeping outside."

Alexandra, in the middle of wiping her face with a cotton pad, pauses. "You're joking," she says, laughing. "He's such a drama king. I bet he's hoping Andrea will see him and swoon."

The girls laugh, shaking their heads at Rob's antics. The ridiculousness of the situation is almost too much.

But then, the door creaks open, and Aaron steps inside. The atmosphere instantly shifts.

"Hey," Aaron says, his voice lower than usual. "I just wanted to apologize for earlier, for shouting at you guys. It wasn't right, and I'm sorry."

The girls exchange looks offering small nods and quiet "it's okay" responses. All except Alexandra.

She stays silent, finishing up her routine without so much as a glance in his direction.

Aaron notices the lack of response and steps closer. "Alex," he says softly, "are we good?"

She finally turns to face him, her expression stony. "Get away from me."

His brows knit together in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"We'll talk tomorrow," she says flatly. "Just leave me alone tonight."

CONFESSIONAL

"I'm sorry, you don't shout in my face, call us selfish and idiots. And think you can just come and wash it away with some apologies."

The tension thickens as Aaron stands there for a beat longer, but eventually, he gives a small nod and exits the room.

As soon as the door closes, the girls round on Alexandra. "What did he do?" Serena asks.

Alexandra sighs, rolling her shoulders back. "He's just really disrespectful, and I don't like that," she says simply, the words hanging heavy in the room.

The girls exchange looks again, but no one presses the issue further. They all know there's more to come tomorrow.

As Alexandra finally makes it to the bed, she finds Louis already laying down, his arm lazily draped over the pillow beside him. A soft smile spreads across her face as she slides under the covers, the atmosphere in the villa still carrying a quiet tension from the night's events.

The lights dim, and the room falls into a hushed stillness, broken only by the soft rustling of blankets and faint whispers from a few of the other islanders.

Louis shifts slightly, his face close to hers now, his breath warm against her cheek. "You okay?" he whispers softly, his voice barely audible but laced with concern.

Alexandra hums, nodding. "I'm feeling great. I didn't go home," she says, a hint of relief in her tone. "There's just conversations that need to be had tomorrow. Hopefully, we can clear the air."

Louis watches her for a moment, his thumb lightly grazing the back of her hand under the covers. "We'll handle it tomorrow," he murmurs, his voice steady and reassuring. He leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips.

But the kiss doesn't stop there. Alexandra deepens it, her hand sliding to the nape of his neck, her fingers weaving through his hair. Louis responds just as eagerly, his lips trailing down to her jawline before finding a spot on her neck. He starts sucking softly, and Alexandra's breath hitches. She bites down on her bottom lip, her hand flying to her mouth to stifle any noise. The last thing she wants is to draw attention to their bed when the rest of the villa is just starting to wind down.

When Louis pulls away, a smug grin tugs at the corner of his lips. His eyes gleam mischievously, and Alexandra instantly knows he's pleased with himself.

"You're up to no good," she whispers, her voice a playful accusation.

His grin widens, and he chuckles softly. "Maybe," he teases, his hand resting lightly on her waist.

Alexandra smirks. "Your turn then," she whispers, a daring glint in her eyes.

Louis raises an eyebrow, shaking his head slightly as if to say no, but he doesn't move. He stays still, watching her curiously. Taking the invitation, Alexandra leans in, pressing her lips to his neck.

She starts slowly, leaving soft kisses along his skin before gently sucking at a spot just below his jaw. Louis closes his eyes, his head tilting ever so slightly to give her better access. He lets out a small exhale through his nose, but otherwise keeps quiet.

When Alexandra finally pulls away, she flashes him a triumphant smile. "Now we're got matching," she whispers.

Louis chuckles, his thumb brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. "We're gonna have some explaining to do tomorrow," he jokes, his voice low and husky.

She grins, tucking herself closer to him. "Let them talk."

Everyone wakes up as the lights turn on, the soft hum of the villa's morning routine beginning. Alexandra shifts slightly, still tucked into Louis' side, his arm lazily draped around her waist. She smiles sleepily, nuzzling into him for just a few more seconds of comfort before Serena appears at the edge of their bed, grinning and tugging at Alexandra's hand.

"Come on, smoothies," Serena says, her voice soft but firm. Alexandra groans but peels herself from Louis, who chuckles under his breath and stretches out in the bed.

The two girls shuffle to the bathroom, brushing their teeth side by side, the mirror reflecting their tired faces. Serena spits out her toothpaste and nudges Alexandra with her elbow. "You good?" she asks, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

"Yeah, just tired," Alexandra mutters, though the ghost of last night lingers in the air, but she keeps that to herself.

After freshening up, they head to the kitchen where Jana is blending smoothies for the group. The buzz of the blender fills the space as the girls gather around the counter. Jana pours the thick mixture into glasses, handing one off to Serena and another to Liv.

Jana sighs, "I just wish the boys would understand the decision wasn't to be spiteful. I get everyone's perspective, but hating us for it is too much."

Leah leans against the counter, stirring her smoothie lazily. "There's no point in crying now," she says. "Andrea's gone. It's too late."

Alexandra doesn't say much, her eyes focused on the way Jana pours the last bit of smoothie into a glass, the way the blender's sound fades into the background. She notices Leah slide a plate of pancakes in front of her, giving her a small smile.

"Eat," Leah says.

"Thanks," Alexandra replies softly, picking up a fork and digging into the pancakes while waiting for Jana and Kaylor to finish making their breakfast.

Once they're done, the group heads back to the dressing room. The air feels lighter, but the tension from last night still lingers in the back of everyone's minds. Alexandra sits in front of the mirror, dabbing concealer on her neck, strategically covering the mark Louis left the night before.

Jana, adjusting her bikini top, glances over. "So... what do you guys think Andrea's doing right now?" she asks.

"Crying," Serena says bluntly, running a brush through her hair.

Nicole sighs. "Yeah... but it's not just 'cause she's gone, it's 'cause Rob didn't leave with her."

Alexandra scoffs softly, blending the last of her concealer. "He gave her false hope," she mutters.

Serena nods. "Exactly. Like, I'd be sad if I was leaving, but I'd get over it. But if Kordell told me he was leaving with me and then didn't? That would sting way more."

There's a knock at the door, interrupting the conversation. They all turn to see Louis standing there with a smoothie in hand, a playful smile on his face. Alexandra bites back a grin as he strides over, leaning down to whisper in her ear.

"You missed a spot," he murmurs, his finger grazing the barely-hidden hickey. "Can you do mine as-well"

Alexandra laughs, swatting his arm. "Grab a chair," she tells him.

Louis drags a chair over, sitting next to Alexandra as the girls resume their conversation.

Kaylor picks at her nails. "I didn't expect Rob to react like that."

Leah leans back, smirking. "I did. The way he was standing there, doing his big one, like he was in a fucking movie..."

The room erupts into laughter, Alexandra clutching her stomach. "Now you're sending three home," she mocks in a dramatic voice, flipping her hair back for effect.

More laughter follows, and Louis shakes his head, grinning. "You lot are ruthless."

Alexandra raises an eyebrow. "You're here to be seen, not heard."

The girls cackle again, Leah wiping a tear from her eye. "And Rob's still here... in his dumbass overalls," she adds.

"Sleeping outside like he really thought he did something," Alexandra chimes in, sending the group into another fit of giggles.

Louis chuckles under his breath, quietly enjoying their chaotic energy.

Jana, noticing Nicole is quiet, asks if she's okay, and Nicole nods, though her expression says otherwise. She sighs softly, running a hand through her hair.

"It's just the whole situation with me kissing Miguel," she admits, "and now Kendall knows." The room quiets for a beat, the air heavy with the tension of unspoken thoughts.

Alexandra exchanges a quick glance with Louis, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly, a silent warning. "Fica mudo," she mutters softly in Portuguese, her voice barely audible, but Louis catches it, pressing his lips together to suppress a smirk.

Nicole fiddles with the hem of her top. "I really like Kendall," she confesses, her voice laced with frustration. "And now he's just not talking to me."

Serena leans against the counter, stirring her smoothie with a straw. "Maybe just give him some time," she suggests. "He might just need a minute to process everything."

Nicole huffs. "I just want to know what he's thinking, though. This silence is driving me crazy."

The group shifts their attention to Louis, who suddenly finds himself in the spotlight. He throws his hands up, shaking his head. "I'm not saying a word," he insists, his voice playful but firm.

The girls giggle at his defensiveness. Alexandra tilts her head, finishing blending out the concealer on his neck. "You're being suspiciously quiet," Serena teases. "What do you know that we don't?"

Before Louis can respond, Liv, with a wicked grin, squints at the spot Alexandra's been working so hard to cover. "Looks like a mosquito must've bit him," she jokes, sending the girls into a fit of laughter. Alexandra rolls her eyes, biting back a smile.

Leah, catching on, smirks. "Or maybe he joined Rob sleeping outside last night," she quips, making the group laugh even harder.

Louis chuckles, shaking his head. "Y'all are wild," he mutters, but there's a playful glint in his eye.

As the laughter dies down, Jana nudges Nicole gently. "Honestly, just talk to Kendall when you're ready," she says softly. "But don't overthink it too much. If he likes you, he'll come around."

Nicole offers a small smile, though her mind still seems to be racing. Alexandra leans back in her chair, eyeing Louis again. "You're awfully quiet for someone who usually has something to say," she teases, making the girls giggle once more.

Louis grins, sipping from the smoothie he brought for Alexandra. "I'm just here to be seen, not heard," he jokes, earning another round of laughter.

The girls are gathered on the sun lounge, soaking up the sun while watching the boys work out. Jana gets comfortable, leaning back with a playful smile. "Is this our eye candy for the day?" she asks, making the girls laugh.

Kaylor points to Aaron, squinting against the sunlight. "Look at how short Aaron's shorts are," she says, shaking her head.

Leah chuckles. "He's so European."

Kaylor tilts her head. "Wait... is the UK even in Europe?"

Leah hesitates, then says, "No, right?"

Alexandra looks at them like they've just grown a second head. "You guys are dumb," she says bluntly. They both give her a confused look, so she sighs and explains, "The UK is European, it's just not in the European Union because they left in 2016."

The girls nod in understanding, though Leah mutters, "Same thing," under her breath, making Kaylor stifle a laugh.

Jana suddenly draws their attention elsewhere. "Look at Miguel," she says, eyes wide.

They all turn to see Miguel walking on his hands, his muscles flexing as he keeps perfect balance.

Alexandra's jaw drops. "That's so hot," she blurts out before realizing what she said. Her eyes widen, and she quickly slaps a hand over her mouth as the girls burst into laughter.

"Caught in 4K!" Serena teases, clapping along with the rest of the girls as Miguel finally drops back onto his feet, flashing them a triumphant smile.

"It was really good, though," Leah says, still giggling.

But Alexandra's focus drifts as she spots Aaron standing alone in the kitchen, wiping his forehead with a towel. She exhales slowly. "I need to talk to him," she mutters, getting to her feet.

"Good luck," Jana whispers, half-joking.

Alexandra walks over, slipping her sunglasses on like armor. "Can we talk?"

CONFESSIONAL

"I'll be honest, I slept and woke up and I'm actually over the situation. I just wanted to cause some little drama before squashing it."

Aaron glances at her, then nods, continuing to cut up some fruit like he's unbothered.

She crosses her arms. "Yesterday night was hectic."

He nods again, his jaw tight. "Yeah. Look, I'm sorry for shouting."

"I appreciate that," she says, but her voice is firm. "But there's more to it. There were things you said that I didn't like."

Aaron raises an eyebrow, but keeps slicing the fruit. "Like what?"

She takes a steadying breath. "You stood over us, yelling in our faces, calling us idiots and selfish for our decision."

He freezes for a second before shaking his head. "I never called you idiots or selfish."

"Yes, you did," Alexandra says sharply. "I walked past the sun lounge and heard you say it."

Aaron's jaw tightens. "I didn't say that. You're hearing things."

Her nostrils flare. "I'm not hearing things. I know what I heard."

He opens his mouth to speak again, but Alexandra turns her head and calls out, "Louis!"

Within moments, Louis appears, his expression calm but serious. "What's up?"

"What did we hear Aaron say last night?" Alexandra asks, keeping her eyes locked on Aaron.

Louis doesn't hesitate. "He called the girls idiots and said the decision was selfish."

Aaron's voice rises. "I never said that."

Louis tilts his head. "There's no need to raise your voice," he says calmly, though his stance has shifted slightly protective, ready.

Alexandra steps forward, her voice unwavering. "I don't care if you raise your voice, Aaron. What I care about is you disrespecting us and then acting like a simple apology wipes the slate clean. And the fact that you can't even own up to calling us idiots when Kaylor was also part of the decision is actually crazy Aaron."

Aaron's face reddens. "I'm not disrespecting anyone —"

"You did," Alexandra cuts him off. "And you're doing it right now by gaslighting me into thinking I imagined what I heard."

There's a tense silence, the air between them heavy and charged.

Louis finally speaks again. "Just own it, man. If you were pissed, fine, but don't pretend it didn't happen."

Aaron's fists clench at his sides. "I said what I said in the heat of the moment. But I didn't mean it like that."

Alexandra's lips press into a thin line. "Then say that."

Another beat of silence. The villa feels too quiet, everyone secretly listening in.

CONFESSIONAL

"I only came to just start some small drama before getting it over with, but the fact that he didn't even wanna own up to saying that shit pissed me off again."

Aaron mutters something under his breath and turns, stalking off without another word.

Alexandra lets out a long breath, shaking her head. Louis touches her shoulder gently. "You okay?"

She nods slowly. "Yeah. Just tired of people thinking they can talk to me like that."

Louis nods. "They can't. And they won't."

Her lips twitch into a faint smile, but the tension still lingers in the air.

As the sun goes down, the girls are in the dressing room getting ready for the night. Leah leans against the counter, carefully applying lip gloss, before glancing at Alexandra through the mirror. "I had a chat with Connor," she says, keeping her voice low but firm. "Apparently, the guys think Liv and I conspired to get Andrea out because we hate Rob."

Alexandra, in the middle of blending her makeup, freezes for a second before laughing dryly. "Do I fuck," Liv mutters, shaking her head with an incredulous look.

Alexandra slips into her heels, adjusting her jeans and making sure her hair falls just right. Leah watches her and grins. "One day, you're gonna have to let me raid your closet," she says.

Alexandra chuckles, giving her a playful side-eye. "We'll see."

Once ready, they descend the stairs, heels clicking against the tiles. The guys are already waiting for them, leaning against the bar or lounging near the couches. Alexandra's gaze finds Louis instantly, and her lips curl into a soft smile. She walks straight to him, wrapping an arm around his waist as she presses a peck to his lips. His hand grazes the small of her back, pulling her a little closer.

Everyone gathers at the table for a toast. Glasses clink together, and the air buzzes with a mix of lingering drama and anticipation for the night ahead. After the toast, the islanders naturally drift into smaller groups.

Alexandra tugs Louis toward the daybeds, their fingers still loosely linked as they settle into the cushions. She curls into his side, resting her head on his shoulder. Louis tilts his head down to her, his thumb absentmindedly tracing patterns on her arm. "I really like your outfit tonight," he murmurs.

"Really?" Alexandra grins, tilting her head to meet his eyes.

"Yeah," he nods slowly, gaze dropping for a split second before he meets her eyes again. "I like it a lot."

She laughs softly. "I had to use sticky inserts to lift my boobs because I have none."

Louis chuckles, his hand sliding to rest on her hip. "That's okay. You've got the bunda though."

(That's was so icky💀)

Alexandra bursts into laughter, swatting his arm lightly. "Oh thanks."

Her eyes flicker across the villa, spotting Leah and Rob deep in conversation by the pool. Alexandra's smile fades slightly. "I thought Leah was over that," she mutters.

Louis follows her gaze, lips pressing into a thin line. "Maybe she's thinking about spinning the block now that Andrea's gone."

Before Alexandra can respond, Miguel saunters over, a bright smile plastered across his face. She and Louis exchange a look, already bracing themselves.

"What?" Miguel asks, feigning offense. "I was just coming to chill with you guys."

Louis raises an eyebrow. "Sure you were."

Miguel flops down beside them, resting an arm along the back of the daybed. Louis wastes no time, cutting to the chase. "How's it going with Nicole?"

Miguel's smile falters just a touch, and he rubs the back of his neck. "It's... good. I mean, I like her. But... I don't know. It feels like she's pushing back a bit."

Alexandra hums thoughtfully, still keeping one eye on Leah and Rob. "What do you think of Leah?" she asks, a sly undertone creeping into her voice.

Miguel furrows his brows. "Leah? We never really had a chance to talk one-on-one. Even when I first came in, we didn't really connect. So I can't say much."

She nods slowly, tapping a finger against her knee. "Interesting."

Louis shakes his head, smirking. "You always scheming something, Alex?"

"Who, me?" Alexandra smiles innocently. "Never."

CONFESSIONAL

"I'm making it my mission to get Miguel and Leah together."

Miguel laughs softly. "I'm not getting involved in your games."

"Good call," Louis mutters, pulling Alexandra a little closer as the night stretches on.

Asking again, continue to give you suggestions
Just wanted to say that I've written everything here up till casa. So guys I would love for you guys to give me suggestions on how you want Louis to act.

So a lot of you want him to be loyal or stay, but I had this idea of him going and kissing outside the challenge, but both times his hesitant about feeling guilty. Whereas for Lexie I wanted for one of LONG term talking stage/childhood friend, to come and maybe try get back together with her just for her to realise how strongly she likes Louis. What do you guys think.
