love is embarrassing.
Caleb McDaniel x f!reader
“THESE GUYS are so great, like so respectful,” y/n paused. “but just none of them are Caleb,”
The girls were all sat together, debriefing their day and talking about their connections.
“Like my spark with Caleb was instant, like from the moment he walked in. He made me feel wanted and respected like no one ever had before,” she continued her eyes starting to water, “I’m just so fucking scared that he’s going to hurt me,”
“Oh baby,” Aniya pulled the girl in for a hug, “You have been nothing by respectful and kind in here. So if that man comes back with someone he’s just not for you,”
Y/n nodded wiping at her tears and giving Aniya a kiss on the cheek.
“I hate being vulnerable because why is a man making me like this gosh,” she joked with the girls them all giggling.
“I’ve got a text!” Trinity exclaimed suddenly, holding up her phone, “Girls, tonight there will be a recoupling and the boys will return from Casa Amor. It’s time to decide if you want to stay in your current relationship status, or recouple with one of the new boys,”
“Oh fuck,” y/n sighed, “I’m so nervous,”
“It’s boutta be fucking chaos in this bitch,” Aniya sighed.
-
Y/n sat in her vanity chair, taking her time to get ready. She chose a pink and orange dress which was one of her favourites and pulled her hair back into half up half down. Her makeup was light but still noticeable, highlighting her features.
“You look amazing girlie,” Melanie complimented as she walked past slapping the girls bum.
“I’m fucking scared,” Kayda whispered.
“We all scared girl don’t worry,” Trinity reassured her grabbing her hand.
“Girlies everyone come here,” Y/n announced as they all gathered, “Ok no matter what happens tonight we stick together and look after each other, ok?”
They all nodded, hugging in a big group, “Let’s get through the night!!”
-
They all sat around the fire pit, eagerly waiting for something to happen. Ariana appeared from the villa door, approaching the fire pit with fierceness.
“She looks powerful, that’s all I’m gonna say,” Kayda spoke slightly nervously.
Ariana stopped at the front of the fire pit greeting the group, “Hi everyone, how are we all doing?”
An echo of ‘good’ or ‘nervous’ sounded around the villa.
“Girls, stay where you are. Boys come join me and stand over here,” she announced, the boys all standing up and walking to the front of the fire pit. “Well as you know, tonight there will be a recoupling.”
All the islanders nodding before she continued, “Casa Amor is the ultimate relationship test. Girls you each have a huge decision to make. I’m going to ask you one by one if you’d like to stay with the boy you’re currently coupled up with, or if you’d like to recouple with one of these boys standing in front of you,” she said gesturing towards the boys.
“Jen as our only single girl we will be starting with you,” Ariana revealed.
Jen picked Gal, Y/n smiling as the pair sat down together.
“Y/n it is your turn, please stand up,” Ariana declared smiling encouragingly at the girl.
Y/n felt sick, her stomach churning as she stood up fixing her dress before Ariana started, “You and Caleb have been coupled up since he came in on day 7. You built a strong connection before Casa Amor. How have the last few days been for you?”
“I’m not gonna lie, I did try to explore other connections with the lovely boys here. But my heart wasn’t really in it and I didn’t want to lead anyone on,” she paused for a second before continuing, “I really didn’t think I would struggle this much without Caleb here but look at me now,” she joked.
“Well, y/n the choice is yours. You can either stay loyal to Caleb or recouple with one of these new boys, what do you wanna do?” Ariana asked the girl.
“I’m going to go with my heart over my head and I want to stay in my couple with Caleb,” she smiled slightly.
Ariana nodded, "Ok Y/n you have decided to stay in a couple with Caleb. If he walks in with one of the girls from Casa Amor you will be single and vulnerable. But if he walks in alone, he’s all yours. Let's find out what Caleb has decided to do,”
"I'm fucking shaking," Y/n turned to the girls shaking her head.
She heard footsteps, coming around the corner. Heels clicking against the floor.
"Shut the fuck up," Aniya sighed grabbing the girls hand, "No tears baby,"
"Baby remember who the fuck you are," Kayda whispered to the girl grabbing her other hand.
Caleb appeared around the corner, a blonde on his arm.
Y/n rolled her eyes shaking her head. "Fucking mug," she gritted out.
Her eyes didn't leave the pair, burning holes in their faces. Caleb's eyes stayed trained to the floor as they approached the fire pit.
"Hey guys. Welcome to the villa," Ariana greeted the pair, "Caleb as you can see y/n has decided to stay loyal to you how does that make you feel?"
"Not good, my heart has sank a bit," Caleb mumbled.
"Speak up," Y/n said dismissively.
"Obviously it's not nice to see, but I was honest with Jaiden from the beginning on how I feel about Y/n and this is not a like me and Y/n are over or anything," he spoke nervously.
"Says who?" Y/n turned to the girls rolling her eyes.
"I feel like I just owed it to myself to explore that connection," he defended himself.
Y/n was shaking, anger taking over her. She licked her upper teeth as Ariana asked her, "Y/n how does it feel seeing him with someone else?"
"I had my doubts, so I got my answer. I've always been honest in here and he is obviously not the one for me," she shrugged trying to stay composed. "I should've shown from the picture we got of him kissing her in the postcard but we move I guess,"
"Shit don't be like that," He replied regretfully.
"Sorry? Don't be like what? You made your bed, you wanted to have your cake and eat it too but you ain't getting it," she snapped back shaking her head.
The girls hyped her up, "Preach baby,"
"Do you know what I'm glad. I'm glad that your disrespectful ass isn't my problem no more. I just wish that I had explored more with these great guys here " she laughed to herself.
“I know you’re hurting, but I want you to know that I thought about you everyday in there, I didn’t want to hurt you,” he tried to explain to her.
“I’m glad you thought about me while you were cracking on with her. I hope it was worth it.” she finished, her eyes stone cold.
“Ok, Caleb and Jaiden you may now sit down,” Ariana instructed them.
They tried to sit next to Melanie but she shook her head, pointing to the end of the bench.
For the rest of the recoupling Caleb attempted to make eye contact with her, but her expression stayed stoic, her face forward.
-
“Islanders, the recoupling is now over,” Ariana told the group, “Casa Amor the ultimate relationship test is over. Dating can be difficult, so please remember to be nice to each other while we all figure it out,”
Y/n immediately stood up, linking arms with Aniya walking off, the girls following behind them.
“Fucking joke,” Y/n sighed, “It’s actually funny,”
“Are we fucking stupid? Like who do they think they are ew,” Aniya said her face disgusted.
“I can’t even look at him,” Y/n gagged, “It’s makes me feel ill,”
“I literally felt sick,” Aniya agreed.
“My jaw was on the floor, like I just felt unattraction immediately,” Y/n sighed.
“Babes you are both so much better than those fucking dickheads.” Kayda shook her head, “You deserve so much more,”
Caleb started to approach the group, Y/n shouting, “Don’t even think about coming over here,”
He turned away his head held low, running back to the boys.
“The fucking audacity to come over here, the audacity,” Y/n snarled.
“I think he’s lost his head,” Melanie sighed.
“Fucking joke,” Y/n said standing up with the girls and the group going to get ready for bed.
