You heard our Brie! Bring us some more Marvel peeps! I’ll go ahead and include Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Tessa Thompson to the list as well!

Hayley: Being on holiday on a Caribbean Island was incredible enough, but being on a Caribbean Island surrounded by a bunch of fun people whom she felt entirely comfortable with, took the experience to the next level. The highlight, thus far, was sharing a room with Brie. Their time spent together, which had gradually increased in the past weeks, had never been a unexciting, leaving the Brit wonder what that holiday would bring. It was one of the first nights and Hayley was ready to go out and not come back until dawn, which was rather insane considering that she wasn’t in her twenties anymore. But wasting that amazing opportunity would be much worse and with nothing on the horizon for her yet, work wise, there would be plenty of time for her to rest once home. After getting ready, wearing a simple floral dress, she left the room for a while without saying a word to Brie, eventually coming back with one extra large box of pizza, which she reckoned her roommate would appreciate. “Am I your favourite person yet? I better be because I won’t settle for anything less,” Hayley said placing the box on one of their beds, crashing next to it lacking grace as per usual. Remembering an old conversation of theirs, the older actress grasped her phone and clicked on a playlist, a quite exotical one to match the environment. Without hesitating, and after securing one slice of pizza with her hand, she stood up and began to move following the melody, in a goofy way rather than in a serious one. “See? Told you. Everything’s possible.”

Brie: Since they had planned on going out and seeing the island, Brie was in the large bathroom of the room getting ready when she heard the door close. She peeked out to see Hayley gone, and wondered where she went. She went back to getting ready, putting on a pair of jeans and a yellow blouse that she didn't even know would end up matching Hayley's dress. She moved to the window and opened the blinds, looking out to the island. She breathed out and enjoyed the view, then heard the door to the room open and she quickly turned on her heels to see Hayley. She beamed and noticed the pizza box, practically leaping towards her and examining the pizza. She aided her in getting the box on the bed, and plopped down with her. She took a slice out, using two hands to take a bite. "You have been my favorite person, but now you have like went to favorite person times a hundred!" She laughed and took a bite. She watched her stand up, moving to the music that was being played. She laughed and smiled while the other female did, and stood up herself. Brie stepped closer to her, moving her own body to the melody and lifting the pizza towards her mouth to take another bite. She can't help but let out a laugh, looking to Hayley. "I might be exaggerating, but I think no one has done something this awesome in the history of the world. Finding out the Earth is round? Psh, this is better." She laughed and took a seat on the bed, looking up to the other.

Hayley: A guffaw escaped her lips in reaction to Brie’s exaggeration, making her thankful for having waited a few extra moments to nibble at her slice of pizza. Albeit the British woman wasn’t sure whether her friend had said that just because, it didn’t fail to boost her ego a tiny bit, reflected by the proud smile that grew onto her face. “Here’s hoping you’ll never expect me to top this because I’m not entirely sure I could do better than the guys who found out the Earth is round, twice,” And with that she finally dug her teeth into her slice and chewed on it whilst keeping the leisurely dancing moves going opposed to Brie’s decision to sit down. “I mean, it could happen again. As long as you’re around. You inspire me,” Hayley confessed truthfully but also nonchalantly without giving her words too much weight. “Clearly not as much as I inspire you to be a creep who watches me dance,” Her head shook in disapproval. “Did being a popstar teach you nothing? Or are you intimidated by me?”

Brie: "Hayley! We were supposed to not mention that stage in my life." She laughed, hoping that the joking tone was evident. Brie placed her half eaten pizza down on a paper plate that Hayley had brought in along with the pizza. She looked up to her, tilting her head. "Wait, I inspire you? You have that backwards, my lady. You inspire me! Can I get ugly emotional for a second? You helped me with caring what the outside world thought too much, and just focus on myself. So thank you." She smiled and stood to her feet again, joining the other actress with moving her body to the rhythm of the music. She tucked short blonde hair behind her ears, keeping her eyes on Hayley. The smile on her face never really seamed to vanish when Hayley was around, and she didn't mind that. "Show me your go to move! I would show you mine, but then you would fall in love with me and we would have to deal with that. I just better not." She laughed and felt herself becoming more and more lose, feeling comfortable around the other female.

Hayley: Hayley didn’t have a response to the other woman’s statement apart from a genuine smile which went hand in hand with the warmth that encroached on her heart. The influence that her actions and words had on others was a concern that occupied her mind quite often, hence her positive nonverbal response to Brie when learned that they’d had a good impact on her. By the time her friend’s request came, the British actress had already finished off her slice, which gave her arms and hands the liberty to move freely. She’d never realised she actually had a go-to dance move until that very moment, when without adding any further comment, her feet started to move sideways until the chosen dance move looked more and more like the grapevine. It didn’t last more than a few seconds, specially since her movements didn’t match the music anymore and, as per usual, it made her look more goofy than talented. “Your turn, popstar,” That was a sign that Hayley would never really cease to mention Brie’s past career. “Falling in love with you is a risk I’m willing to take. I’m that reckless, love. C’mon.”

Brie: Brie watched and let out a few playful laughs, enjoying how the two of them could just be their dorky selves and she knew they would have a good time on this trip. She stood up at Hayley's last comment and shook her head. "That's not going to go away anytime soon, is it?" She laughed and started to move her feet, stepping left to right. "Okay, you might want to step back because I might bring the roof down with this." She turned and placed her hands on the bed, starting to do a terrible attempt at a twerk. She couldn't even hold it for more than a few seconds, falling onto the bed and busting out with laughter. "So, are you in love?" She felt her face red from the dance she just performed, and also the laughing that she was doing. She grabbed another piece of pizza, taking a large bite out of it. 

Hayley: Hayley couldn’t believe what had just happened right in front of her eyes and despite her attempts not to externalise her inner reaction, a loud laughter escaped her throat and echoed through their room. Recollecting herself rather quickly, she answered the question in a quite serious expression which matched her thick accent. “Head over heels,” Her tone pointed out that she was being sarcastic, however the ‘performance’ didn’t leave her completely untouched; it made her realise that they both were truly comfortable around each other and that was what mattered the most at the end of the day. “What am I to do now? Can you stop being utterly ridiculous so that I fall out of love with you?” Considering that her energy would come in handy later on that night, the woman lied down on her her side and secured another slice of pizza for herself. “Well, utterly ridiculous and utterly gorgeous. Thank you.” Hayley added in a rather amused voice.

Brie: Brie joined the position of Hayley and laid on her side, lifting her hand to wave off her previous comment. "Gorgeous? Your nose is going to grow from lying!" She chuckled and took another bite of her slice. "You're the gorgeous one here, and there can't be an argument. It's just a fact, okay? Okay." She laughed and used a hand to prop her head up on the bed. She saw sunlight shine through the blinds, and that triggered her to think about the day. "So, what should we do? I was thinking we could explore the island and see what kind of trouble we can get into." She sat up and stepped from the bed to appraoch the window where she was previously before Hayley came in. "How are your swimming skills? We should take a swim and try to find a cave or something! Maybe we can find some treasure." She smiled and turned back to Hayley, leaning against the wall.

Hayley: An eyebrow raised in distrust as her glance followed the other figure moving on the bed. “I don’t like this. You should take my genuine compliments to heart. Besides, we can both be gorgeous. It’s not a competition. I’d be mad to enter a beauty competition alongside you,” Hayley wasn’t one to drag herself down to praise others, nor one to deliver eulogies; however, that last comment escaped her and once realised that, she simply shrugged it off. Rolling onto her back, she listened to Brie with her gaze set on the ceiling, letting hundreds of silly ideas flowing in and out of her head. “That’s a smooth way to get me into a bikini,” The Brit pointed out with a chuckle, then added, “Love, we’d be the treasure of that cave once we swim our way into it. I’m down as long as we don’t leave a map behind to be found,” Rather friskily Hayley stood up and stepped toward Brie, playfully pinching her in a ticklish way. “C’mon now. ‘m excited.”

Brie: "Maybe." She smirked and curved her lip in response to the accusation of trying to get Hayley in a bikini. Brie didn't know if Hayley knew or not, but she was deadly ticklish. So just out of pure instinct she jumped back and laughed. "No! No tickling." Brie laughed again at her own reaction, and couldn't help but smile from hearing that the other woman was excited because she was too. " I am too. I'll change now." She walked to her suitcase that was still yet to be unpacked in the corner of the room, kneeling down and digging through to find her two piece bikini. She walked into the bathroom and brushed past Hayley with a smile, changing into her purple bikini set. She walked out and knelt down in the same suitcase to find her sun screen. "Will you get me?" She held the bottle out to Hayley.

Hayley: Her gaze followed the other woman disappearing into the bathroom with half of a smirk depicted on her lips. Taking advantage of the solus time in the room, Hayley fleetly changed into a one piece swimming costume which made her feel more comfortable than a bikini, and covered her pale skin up with a generous layer of sunscreen. “Uh la la, someone’s going to have all eyes on her,” The British actress commented checking her out from head to toe without being too subtle about it, then proceeded with fulfilling her request. Squeezing some lotion on the palm of her hand, she rubbed them together and started to apply it thoroughly into the exposed parts of Brie’s back in a mildly gentle way, moving gradually toward her front. Once squeezed some more sunscreen, her hands made sure her upper chest area was entirely covered; admittedly, she did take her time as she was enjoying the moment more than she should have, all whilst her eyes would frequently move from following her own movements to catch the blond’s gaze. Once finished up that area, her eyes settled on hers as she stepped back and handed the sunscreen back. “I reckon you can do the rest. Don’t want to spoil you /too/ much.”

Brie: Brie kept her eyes on Hayley the whole time, her lip curved into a smile. She took the bottle from her and nodded her head. "Thank you. Do you need me to return the favor?" She squeezed some of the sun screen into her own palm now and got her legs and the rest of her body that hadn't been touched. She applied a bit onto her face and nose, before wanting to comment on Hayley's previous theory. Brie now admired the way that the one piece filled out the other perfectly. "I think all eyes are going to be on you, girl. You're body goals." She didn't want to stare too much, but she meant what she said because she found herself not able to take her eyes off Hayley. She smiled and grabbed a hair band, tying up her short blonde hair. She grabbed towels for them, and placed sunglasses onto her head. "Do you think we need anything else?" She looked over to the other female and thought in her head if she was forgetting anything. "Oh, here." She reached out and gently brushed her thumb over Hayley's chin, rubbing in some sun screen that wasn't rubbed in all the way.

Hayley: The generous words coming from her American friend were as per usual highly appreciated by the woman who, under normal circumstances, didn't particularly take any pleasure in being showered with praise. Coming from Brie? Hayley found herself really into hearing them, though she still wasn't familiar with the proper way to react to compliments. At first, as her thumb brushed against her chin, Hayley's face morphed into a confused expression, then a light laugh lightened it up as the realisation came to mind. "Thank you, love. My British white arse can't go more than two hours without re-applying sunscreen. Next time, your wish will be granted," Said that, her hand grabbed the bottle of sunscreen and after shaking it up in the air for a brief instant, she slid it into her tote bag. "I'd say that's-- " as /all/ was going to leave her lips, the actress had a light bulb kind of moment. Quickly going through her own bag, she dug up a pair of swimming goggles that she immediately wore over her head like she'd normally do with her sunglasses, which had already been packed in her sea bag. Sometimes there wasn't anything that could stop her from being a goof, not even herself. Especially not herself. "Now we're ready to go. I love to see what's under water, don't judge. And no, I'm not going to be a creep and spy you from down there. A lady would never," This time her attempt not to burst out laughing succeeded, as she stepped outside their room and commenced walking toward their destination. In spite of the confidence of her steps, Hayley didn't have a clue which direction they were supposed to head, hence her stopping a man who looked like a member of the staff to kindly ask for information.

Brie: Brie departed the room with Hayley and walked towards the exit. She too was lost, and was thankful when her friend stopped to ask for directions to get to the water and swimming areas. She listened to him, then followed the directions that was given with Hayley. She walked from the hotel and with what seemed about half a mile they were on the most beautiful beach that Brie had ever laid eyes on. An audible gasp left her lips, and she looked around the mountain scenery that had some of the greenest trees and land that she had ever seen. The water glistened in the sun, and Brie turned to the fellow actress. "It's... so beautiful." She walked onto the sand and saw a few other guests from the hotel swimming in different parts of the water and just laying out. She looked out and saw what looked like a cave entrance out in the water. She pointed. "Look, I think that's a cave we can swim into. Still up for it?" She turned to Hayley and smiled. Brie laid out a towel to set all their bags and things down. She caught a gaze over to Hayley, and it was a perfect shot from what seemed like a film. The sun lit her, and she could see just how beautiful the female was. Brie smiled and breathed out. "I am excited."

Hayley:  Being a lover of the ocean, and nature in general, like herself, her excitement was growing stronger with every step they were taking toward the beach, just to explode into a wide beam once they stopped to admire the sight around them. Those were the moments that filled her soul with long-lasting joy. “There’s a lot of beauty around here today to please my eyes,” Hayley said quite cheekily, gaze fixed on the other woman. As Brie was taking care of their things, her glance explored from distance the surrounding of the cave, looking for the best way to reach it; it didn’t seem too risky. Not that anything would have stopped the wild child that the British actress was. Instead of replying to her question, she raised a brow as to say ‘really?’ and sprinted toward the water. “Catch me if you can,” The shout left her lips in a quite melodic way, as her skin came into contact with the salty water which, opposed to the air temperature, was cold-ish. 

Brie: "HEY!" Brie laughed and ran after her, running into the water and feeling the cold water hit her body. Soon it was up to her neck and she began swimming after the fellow actress. She had some experience with swimming, and wasn't a pro but wasn't bad. She kept up with Hayley and stopped once they arrived to the large opening. "It's like we are Indiana Jones." She smiled and slowly swam into the cave with her, the water becoming more and more shallow until they were able to walk on the surface. The way the sun shined into the cave lit it up beautiful, and she sighed. "It's beautiful." She looked towards Hayley after the last comment and grabbed her hand. "Do you think we'll find the treasure. I'll split the earning with you. Sixty fourty. How does that sound." She found herself lacing her fingers with Hayley.

Hayley:  Their swim to the cave went quite smoothly as neither of them encountered any trouble on their way there. Hayley was mesmerised by the environment offered by the hidden chamber in the hillcliff, wild yet cosy, with a woman not only she admired but also found herself attracted to in a deep way without having had noticed it for a long time. It’d never been easy for her to exteriorise her feelings, the British actress was more of a lady of action. Eyes falling on their interlaced fingers, she nearly didn’t hear what the other said. That was when Hayley took a leap of faith and before her expression could give away the feeling of nervousness that had been growing through her stomach, she leaned in and press her lips against Brie’s, hand gently resting against the side of her neck. “Make it sixty for me or I’m never doing this, ever again.”

Brie: Brie immediately returned the kiss without any hesitation, her hands dipping to rest on Hayley's waist. She closed her eyes for a moment and smiled to herself, opening them to meet the other's gaze and admire her features. Instead of a response to Hayley's comment, she could only give into her emotions and that was to kiss her again. She pressed her lips again on the other female's lips, and made this one last just a few moments more. She peeled away slowly, looking at the beautiful actress. "Wow. I normally have something to say, but I just don't except that was perfect." She rubbed her hand over Hayley's and again took hold of it. "How about fifty fifty, and you get to kiss me again?" She smirked and made sure that her tone was playful when she spoke.

Hayley: Once the kiss was returned, the tension left her body entirely taking her to a level of total relaxation; that wasn’t something Hayley had anticipated at the end of the year when they’d began getting close but it was more than welcome for the time being. Brie made her feel at ease and in spite of the British woman teasing the other endlessly, she was rather happy to have her around. “I’d argue with you right now but that would ruin the moment,” It was rare for her to hold her tongue but on a rare occasion she would and the fact that she could close her eyes and steal another kiss certainly helped. “Fifty-fifty and we’re doing this throughout the entire holiday.”

Brie: She laughed and nodded, applying a squeeze to Hayley's hand. Brie walked further into the cave with her, and now the light was getting less and less. She was afraid of the dark, so she took a giant step back. "You're going to call me a chicken, but I am afraid of the dark. Do you think we can stay in the sunlight?" She smiled and decided to steal another kiss from the beautiful actress, and her smile increased when their lips connected again. "You mean the kissing part right? Because I can get behind doing that throughout the entire holiday."

You head our Brie! Bring us Chris Hemsworth! 

Sure thing. She’s reserved for Sam until 11:59 EST tonight.

This is so sweet, thank you. @coleffs
