You and Sol had established feelings for each other, you both loved each other's personality and had total hots for each other. However, it was put on hold due to Sol's connection with Sincere.

Today, there was a challenge, girls vs boys where you as a team had to decided which question related to the islander best. You either had to pie them or kiss them.

So far into the challenge, things were going fine, nobody was really offended by getting picked. That was until Zach pied Sol. The question was, "Pie the person who is most likely to disregard girl code for their connection." Zach walked up and pied Sol.

Which was complete bullshit, it was Sol's job to step on toes, matter a fact, it's everyone's job to step on toes if you have a connection. She was clearly upset with their choice, she disappeared into the kitchen with tears falling from her eyes.

You follow behind her, so do the rest of the girls. "It's bullshit Sol, you're a bombshell, it's your job." You tell her. You don't care what the rest of the girls had to say about your statement, it was true.

Everyone coo'ed around her, trying their best to make her feel better and eventually, she came back to the game. But that's where it ended, the hosts of after sun left and everyone went their separate ways.

You went with Sol alone in speakeasy, "I'm just so tired of it, everyone is so clique with the group and just because I'm exploring a connection, I'm not invited to be anyone's friend." She admits.

Your heart breaks for her, it can't be easy to come in later than everyone else and then not be accepted for something you're supposed to do. It's not even like she's going out of her way to cause trouble between Sincere and Melanie, from all she's told you Sincere starts everything between the two of them. "I'm so sorry baby, you don't deserve it at all. I wish they'd just take a chance to get to know you the way I know you." you consol.

She presses her lips together in a warm smile, her eyes glossy red as tears continue spilling. "They will see eventually, you're great and Melanie will eventually realize Sincere is the problem, not you." You add.

You grab her hand, lightly rubbing back and forth on the back of her hand, she comes in closer, resting her head against your chest, "I'm just happy I have you." she admits. "Always." you reply, lightly grazing your nails up and down her arm.

She looks up at you, her pretty golden-brown eyes dilated fully with love, you cup her face, pulling her in for a kiss.

The kiss is smooth, it's not rushed. Your tongues claim each other's mouth, leaving room for nobody else. Her hand rests lightly just under your breasts.

The kiss ends casually, the both of you sit there for a minute before Sincere comes in and asks to pull her.

As you sat on the daybeds with Aniya, Ariana walks in. She groups everyone at the fireplace and instructs the three bombshells to stand at the front. The worry on Sols face is visible, all you wanted was to get her off of this toxic ass island and show her how she should be treated.

Sol was a goddess, she was nice to everyone even when they were so shitty to her, she has the prettiest face and her skin glows, her smile was unreal, everything about her inside and out was perfect and you wished she could be treated how she deserves.

Not as a second option, not as someone to be snuck around, she deserved to be first option and showed to the entire world.

Everyone else gets coupled up, Jen goes with Gabe, Kenzie goes with Caleb and lastly was Sol. Everyone for sure thought she'd be paired with Sincere. Really, that's the only person she's been able to form a real connection with. As far as you've heard, the talks are great and when it's just them, he treats her as if she's the whole world, the only issue was the way he treated her around everyone else.

"Sol, America has been voting. And the person they want you to couple up with comes as a shock." Ariana announces. Everyone turns their head, it was very obvious Sol and Sincere had something and she didn't tell you about anyone else, so who could it be?

"The person America would like to couple you up with is.. y/n!" Ariana announces. A shocked look forms on everyone's face as they all turn to look at you. You didn't care about everyone else looking, all you cared about was Sol. You couldn't believe it was even an option to get you coupled up.

Your cheeks began to heat up and an uncontrollable smile formed on your face as Sol walked up to you. "Sol, Y/n, please tell us more about this." Ariana says. The both of you turn to look at each other and she signals you to speak first, "Well, it just kind of happened, we weren't going to tell anyone because she had it going with Sincere but I guess America had other plans." you say.

You look towards Sol to see what she has to say, "Yeah, I'm really happy America liked what they saw enough to bring us together. I'm super lucky to be paired with such an amazing girl." She says. Everyone around the firepit is smiling ear to ear, not one ounce of judgement in that villa.

Finally, it was time to get ready for bed, you couldn't wait to have the opportunity to sleep right beside her. "I can't believe you guys didn't say anything." Aniya says, "Yeah I didn't have a clue in the world" Melanie adds. The both of you chuckle, "Hey, we didn't see it coming either." You say.

Once everyone is done getting ready you all head to the bedroom, you and Sol climb into bed together, pressing a few quick kisses before cuddling up next to each other, the warmth of her skin pressed flush against yours.

firstly, i just wanna say that it makes me very happy to see so many black and queer women being spotlighted at the grammys (as a black, queer woman myself). and i am not at all upset at beyonce winning, given that she is the first black woman to win that award since 1999, which is pretty huge.

however. is it still extremely disappointing that billie didn't win anything? absolutely.

i think what makes this whole situation the most upsetting is that billie has said countless times in various interviews how much this album means to her. she's talked numerous times about how this was her most personal album yet and how challenging it was for her to be honest while making it. she's talked about how it's the album she's the most proud of and how it's the album that is undeniably the most "her." an album that means this much not only to billie but to the fans not winning a single category is very saddening and i could understand why many would be angry.

more than anything, though, i just want billie to know one thing: hit me hard and soft may not have won a single grammy, but it did win the hearts of fans and non-fans alike. it is an album that has touched many peoples' hearts, it's an album that people resonate with, it's an album that people feel comforted by. billie has said time and time again that she just wants to be a voice for people who feel like they don't have one and i want her to know that with this album especially, she achieved that. hmhas is an album that so many people, including myself, hold near and dear to their hearts, and i think that is the best reward anyone could ask for. i hope billie truly knows that.

hmhas means so much to me, personally. for practically the entire month of may and the rest of 2024, i recall so many moments when i'd put the album on and sing every lyric like i was at my own little concert at 3 in the morning in my bedroom. if i ever had a shit day, i would put on birds of a feather or lunch if i wanted to smile. if i needed to cry, i'd put on skinny or the greatest or wildflower. this album is genuinely healing, for me, and for so many others. i think that's more important than anything.
