shivers at the mention of sand in her mouth … every night. “ that is worse than the spiders while sleeping fun fact. please do not re-remind me of those things. ” nose scrunches and … okay, so rose is being a bit dramatic, but she had the tendency to be the prim and proper type when no one was really look. usually she tried to be more outgoing, always saying yes, type of person. “ my girlfriend … my ex, she says i am cold blooded. i suppose it is true, then ? ” rose asks the other, head tilting to the side. “ we are to be cooking soon, the area will warm up whether from that or the people. i think i will be fine. ”
a soft laugh slips past lips at the sight of the blonde’s disgusted expression. arm brushes against forehead, pushing the loose dark strands of hair out of his eyes. “ my bad, but you did bring it up first. ” and chopping continues, though every so often, he steals glances at her. “ oof, your last relationship sounds fun. what’s your deal then ? you came here to try and make it work, or are you looking to get a new relationship out of this ? ‘cause, just throwing it out there, i’m kind of a great wingman. ” he shrugs. “ i hope we have a bonfire at some point, that’d be nice. if you get cold, though, i brought some warm up gear. just keep on the dl. ”

“ dorms? ” she questions, “ i thought it was more of a tent situation. either way, i feel the same. i can’t promise i won’t scream if a bug, like, crawls across my feet while i’m sleeping or something so don’t be alarmed if you hear it, ” the warning is given in jest but the sentiment is more real than carrie would like to let on.
“ honestly ? it probably is, i didn’t read the brochure before coming here, so i have no idea what our sleeping arrangements are supposed to look like. though i sure hope these tents are bugs free, but just in case they aren’t—just scream for me, and i’ll come and fight the little bastards. ”

“thank you.” genuine compliments are always nice to receive; but deep down she wished it was someone else who would notice. a kind smile take over her features, because there’s at least one more person to feel comfortable around. “i’m not going to lie, i was very impressed with some people’s outfits, but if we have to run down the beach i might as well not trip and fall on my face. don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” amara adds, her face brightening. “really? i wish i had something to give in return, but i don’t think you’d feel comfortable in any of my skirts. i do have an extra baseball hat though.” considering how sunny the island was, the extra shade could really make a difference. “i think we’re all here for different reasons…” extending her hand, she glances up to him. “i’m amara and honestly, i can’t agree more. if we stick together, we might as well make it out in one piece.” nodding her head slowly, a sigh escapes her. “don’t worry, i’m not really a fighter. what i can do is run – and that’s something i’m good at. i get it; i miss my cat, i miss ice tea, i miss home. i can’t say i miss my phone as much, though, it seems like i’ll definitely miss a bubble bath soon.”
a soft smile appears on his lips, and he gives her a short nod. “ right ? some people really went all in. it’s kind of impressive. i wonder if they’re going to put this much effort every day. and honestly, i feel a little bad for them because i’m not trying at all, ” he jokes, because maybe talking to someone with no prospects of dating them is easy, it’s what he needed in this island. “ thanks, and yeah, as much as i appreciate the skirt offer, i think they’ll look better on you. i’ll take a cap, though. kinda brought some beanies, kinda don’t think i’ll be using them. ” he reaches for her hand, slow shaking it. “ enzo. it’s really nice to meet you. i’m great at hiding, so we’ll make a good team. you’re not missing your phone ? damn, now i’m really embarrassed. and, yes, bubble baths. you’ll only get those in paradise, i suppose. which, by the way, we’ll have to pick someone to go with soon. anyone in your mind yet ? ‘cause i’m a decent wingman, you know. ”

“yeah?” glancing down at her outfit, amara’s not sure if she even tried hard enough ; considering this wasn’t a place she 100% wanted to be. “thank you. i tried to bring things that are actually comfortable.. hoodies are always a great idea, who doesn’t want to keep warm? remember my words, everyone will come to you asking for one when it gets cold.” if she was lucky enough, amara would remain invisible and enjoy the sun in the island. “i’m not exactly sure if i want to be here, but you know – if i come out with more friends and new potato recipes, i consider it a small victory.” the brunette mused, before bursting into a laugh. “boogie hotel? i guess that’s a way to put it. hide the knives, and hide your favourite hoodie. you never know what people can come up with in order to make you go to paradise with them. though, i promise – the only reason i would think about going to that hotel is iced tea. i don’t think we’ll be getting any of that anytime soon. is there anything you already miss from the civilised world?”
“ yeah, ” he reassures, though he should tell her she looks beautiful, make her blush. and yet, he doesn’t. it’s just not him, and he won’t play a character in reality tv. thus, even though honest, compliments are kept simple and short. “ i get it. comfortable beats fashionable for me too. i’m not much of a dress to impress kinda guy. i’m all about staying warm. and you know, i don’t doubt they’ll try, but i’m pretty attached to my hoodies. let’s just keep my collection between us, ‘kay ? though if you need one, don’t hesitate to ask. i can spare one for you, ” he tells, clearing his throat before continuing, “ well, you might not want to be here, but i’m glad you are. everyone is so focused on dating the hottest contestant they can find, and you’re just vibin’ with me. ” a smile slightly tugs at the corners of his lips, threatens to reveal his gladness. “ don’t go around giving them any ideas, alright ? this place will turn into hunger games if people are desperate enough. i miss my kitchen. my dogs, but i was missing them even before coming here. does it make me look bad if i say i miss my phone too ? ”

❝ the tents ? not yet , but i’m definitely interested in checking them out. that and the watering hole area . ❞ the man affirmed, ❝ doesn’t seem like we’ll get much luck on the food situation, unless we start trying to retrieve our own from the island . ❞
“ is it tents ? i thought there’d be bunk beds or something. we don’t do much camping where i’m from. you think there’ll be sleeping bags too ? ” he sighs. “ i’m not too worried about our food situation. i’m pretty good in the kitchen. ”

“Well, if you wanted to share a bed tonight, then you should have just said so,” Taeng teased with a wiggle of her brows. “Should we get set up for the evening then?”
“ uhm, did i give that impression ? that’s not really what i meant — ” he says, fingers carding soft brown locks as gaze avoids hers. “ do you know know where it is though ? ”

“… yeah, i was curious to see where i’ll be tortured for the next couple of weeks, and what to pack. uh – thank god, i’m not the only one thinking that then? i don’t think they necessarily need to fall in love, perhaps this could be the perfect way to test if they want to continue being with you or not. it is weird, though. really weird. you do? so do i. pinterest is my best friend, but i think we have to be creative around here.. i’m not sure if leaving us in charge of knives is a smart idea.” hunger or partner games was meant to always end up badly, no?
“ nice work. with packing, i mean. i like your outfit. ” if that is an attempt at flirting, he certainly failed. “ should’ve done that. i brought a couple hoodies and sweats. though they won’t necessarily go to waste, i’ve been told it gets chilly at night. ” a shrug of shoulders before he continues, “ absence makes the heart grow fonder, no ? maybe dating other people makes you realize you like the person you came with. i’m not so sure that’s my case, but could be yours. i’m not too worried about food here. i know over 70 different potato recipes by memory. even if we’re only provided potatoes for the next weeks, i can wip something up. though, knives, in a deserted island full of attractive people and their exes, when the main goal is to date and go to a boogie hotel with anyone but your partner ? kinda feels risky. maybe we should hide the knives. ”

the pouting is unnecessary, and she knows it. he is too fluent in everything she is, the good, sure, but especially the bad and ugly. that comfort is more worth more than anything else, she thinks. the desperation she feels at losing it was the driving force that landed them here, and asking if she knows that is also redundant. her gaze does meet his, and though she doesn’t entirely believe him, she chalks it up to projection. “thank you,” she finds herself saying. “in case i didn’t tell you that yet.” she has, of course, but she figures the changing circumstances insist she do so again. she wants to lean in and kiss him, but she doesn’t. she fights the impulse by reaching up and taking his hand, placing her lips on his fingers instead. “now come on.” she stands. “let’s go see if we actually do have beds or if i just jinxed us again.”
they’re too different, they don’t match, they aren’t meant to be—it’s what he thinks, what he believes in. and yet, something always pulls him in her direction. the toxicity of their relationship is always momentarily forgotten when voice softens and gazes meet. “ you’re welcome. let’s just be ourselves and try to figure this out. ” a smile pulls at the corner of his lips with her gesture of affection, even as he fights against it. “ god, i swear, if i have to sleep on the floor, i’m going to complain harder. ”

❛ sounds like you were dragged here , uh ? and if you're doing this for love then you definitely think you and your partner are going to get out of here together . cute , ❜ she smiled . vivian wasn't so sure if her relationship would survive this game , she and marisol were clearly not on the same page about their relationship so the opportunity to meet someone who might be a better fit for her was the selling point of the experience . ❛ well , maybe you can show me there after the show , be my private guide , ❜ she joked .
“ i was, yeah. not necessarily, it’s more for the idea of not arguing for months over not giving this whole experience a try. trust me, we’re anything but cute. ” maybe he’s exaggerating, but the bad and the ugly of his relationship lingers longer, hurts harder, and is way more frequent than the happy, good moments. “ no—of course. i know brazil like the palm of my hand. i wouldn’t mind visiting again soon, it’s been a while. ”

“it looks better than the pictures, that’s for sure. is it? it sounds ideal, falling in love in an island like this, but what if they want to distract you? what if this is a different version of hunger games? just kidding. cooking here will be eventful though, remember my words.”
“ you’ve seen pictures before coming here ? you’re doing better than me. in theory it’s great, but to think your ex is in this island with you, witnessing you fall in love with someone else, and watching them attempt to do the same, that’s what makes it weird. your hunger games idea doesn’t sound too bad now. hey—i love to cook, so a challenge is always welcomed. ”

“i’m sure the show wouldn’t let us starve or die of dehydration, so of course i’m more concerned with the dorms.” rena tilted her head towards the area of interest before looking back at enzo. “i happen to have a certain standard for where i lie my head down, so wanna come with me to check it out? i’m rena, by the way.” she flashed him a dazzling smile and took a teasing step towards the dorms.
“ i’m glad. i’d commit murder if my ex ended up bringing me to survivor or something. i’m fine with cooking our dinner every day, even walking to get our water, but hunting our own food ? ” head shakes as shoulders heave. “ no standards here, just looking for a place to hide until the euphoria of meeting hot single people settles down a little. and yeah, lead the way, ” he says, mirroring her smile—though it’s certainly less bright than hers. if anything, it’s polite. “ enzo. ”

“ gonna be completely honest with you , ” she starts , taking in a deep breath . “ no i haven’t . aren’t we pretty much just glamping ? we could go check it out now before someone attempts to task us with cooking ? ”
“ are we ? ” brows knit, her words almost makes his head spin. “ i’m really going in blind here. i don’t know much about this show, other than i’m supposed to watch my ex date other people and flirt my way into some fancy hotel. you know, i wouldn’t hate being tasked with cooking, but sleeping arrangements are more important, so—let’s go. ”

she stares at the ground, stick in her hand as she draws small flowers in the dirt. the voice pulls her from her thoughts, brow arches, and she thinks about going back to her mindless doodle. of course, she doesn’t. she is the reason they are here, no matter how it’s panning out. “no,” she sighs, shoulders lifting. “i guess i should offer up my back as a pillow since, well, you know.”
the roaring silence is too loud and it bothers him. after forcing his hand into participating in this whole experience, she should at least try to have a conversation, look him in the eyes, right ? “ quit it with the self-deprecatory jokes, naz. i agreed to be here, didn’t i ? then i agreed to sleeping without pillows, sand everywhere and watching you date other people. ” he crouches to be at her eye level. fingers curl under her chin, slightly lifting it up so gaze could meet hers. “ seriously, it’s cool. and i did say i’d complain the whole time i’m here. let’s just go check it out. ”

❛ what are you talking about ? i mean you're cute , you were the one who started the conversation , you're not being weird or a creep so i think you're just fine . just because it's a dating show doesn't mean you have to go around flirting with everyone . of course it helps , the more people like you , more chances you have of staying in a hotel , but if you don't mind sleeping on tents for a while , just be you , ❜ she shrugged . ❛ the beaches are incredible , i went to rio de janeiro since that's where the action happens , but i would love to know other states , other beaches . ❜
“ this just isn’t much my scene, but i’m glad i’m not giving out creepy weirdo vibes. the things we do for love, right ? as i see it, that concept is more about popularity than building connections, but hey—i won’t talk your ear off about this. and thanks, i appreciate the advice. ” a sincere smile appears on lips. “ rio is everyone’s go-to destination when going to brazil, but i think north eastern beaches are way better. rio is just too overcrowded during summer. ”

“ suddenly i am very scared of sand getting into the potatoes - it would be less noticeable if it were in fry form, no ? ” and maybe some people were squeamish about accidentally eating sand. rose had simply already accepted it as a part of her fate. “ start chopping up the veggies ? ” she asks, handing him the lettuce.
“ yeah, there’s no way we’ll cook dinner every night with sand all over the place. there must be a lid or something in the cupboard. but you know, fun fact or whatever—we’re in a deserted island and every person here will end up eating sand in some way or another. it gets too windy at night. ” he washes his hands, dries them on a kitchen towel and drapes it over a shoulder. “ speaking of, aren’t you cold ? it’s pretty windy now and the temperature must’ve dropped a few degrees since we got here. ” with fresh vegetables placed on the board, he pluckers a knife from its wood holder and begins chopping.
