No Other Love - Chapter 1: Flight Risk

After weeks of ignoring her feelings for Suresh, Gemma was finally ready to admit to him that she wanted to get back together. With the Casa Amor recoupling in full swing, she never expected him to walk back into the villa with another girl.

Read on AO3

Is this where our story ends? After everything he said before Casa Amor, this just can’t be the end. 

Gemma looked down at her hands, absentmindedly playing with her gold ring, then stared off into the fire pit. 

Can it? 

She bit back the tears threatening to pour out of her green eyes. She wouldn’t let any of them see how utterly and completely broken she felt. No, broken couldn’t even begin to accurately describe the feeling of having your heart ripped out of your chest and tossed aside like it was worth nothing. Before they’d left for Casa, Suresh’s ultimatum had forced Gemma to come to terms with all of the feelings she’d long since buried and tried to ignore. And she hated how after all this time, after all the pain he’d caused her, how much she still loved him, even now as she watched him take his seat on the opposite end of the fire pit with Lulu by his side. 

From the very first day, when he walked out to greet her by the pool and she saw those dizzying emerald eyes, her feelings for him rushed to the surface, washing over her in an uncomfortable wave. She tried everything she could to be strong, to not cave in to his many advances and false promises of having “changed.” She tried to flirt with the new guys, move on with someone new, but no one compared to him. They didn’t know that she couldn’t hear someone sing ‘Happy Birthday’ without tearing up, especially if it was her birthday. That despite being a horrible singer, she would sing as loud as her lungs would let her whenever she got the chance. That she hated driving and always begged him to, even though she knew he would never make her do something she didn’t want to do. Suresh knew all of that about her, and he loved her for it. 

Loved. In the past. Not anymore. 

“Babe, it’s your turn,” Kat said, nudging her forward. She sat nestled in Finn’s arms, looking happy, safe. All the things Gemma felt like she should be feeling right now. 

Stick or Switch. 

She stood up and took a deep breath. Should she stick with Alfie? The boy who she had tried to get to know, who she’d tried to move on from Suresh with, but somehow things just never felt right. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, there seemed to always be a gnawing feeling in the back of her mind that something was missing. He just wasn’t him. She looked at Johnny and Nicolas, both nervously standing off to the side. She’d barely gotten to know either of them in Casa Amor, something she now regretted. Again because of him. There was also the matter of Alfie kissing Kat and Gemma kissing Suresh. She knew she had no room to judge Alfie for what he’d done, but she also knew that both kisses had ended things for them before it even properly started. So she knew she only had one choice tonight. 

Switch. 

“Tonight I’m choosing to couple up with this boy because he has shown me that I can have more than what I’ve been offered. That I can have a fresh start with someone new. I’m excited to see where this chapter might take us, so the boy I’m coupling up with is…Nicolas.” 

Both Dana and Kat looked at one another confused.

Nicolas sauntered over to Gemma quickly, wrapped his arms around her and lifted her in the air. He spun her around and pressed his lips onto hers. She wrapped her fingers around his neck, deepening the kiss. From the corner of her eye, she could see Suresh staring straight into the fire pit, eyes unblinking and not straying from the flames. 

“Gems, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world right now,” Nicolas beamed at her. 

She smiled at him as they sat down and waited for Alfie to return. She pressed her body close to his and he held her tight, keeping her safe from whatever outcome was about to unfold before them. 

Nicolas squeezed her a little tighter when they heard the familiar sounds of heels on the villa floors before she saw Alfie confidently stroll back in with Meera. 

This time it was much less painful, since she had no real feelings for Alfie. 

She tried to listen to everyone’s excited chatter as they welcomed Meera back into the villa, but she couldn’t hear anything over her erratic heartbeat. She willed herself not to look over in Suresh’s direction, but there had always been an unexplained gravitational force that pulled them closer. As the islanders got up to say their goodbyes to Eddie and Johnny, Gemma noticed Suresh was still sitting, staring into the fire pit’s roaring flames like he had done earlier, frozen in place. Lulu grabbed his hand and nudged him out of his trance and he gave her a small smile, kissing her hand as a thank you. Gemma had lost count of how many times Suresh had kissed her hands like that, she had always loved that small gesture, one she had always thought was meant only for her. Even with Arlo he’d never shown her this side of him. 

Does he actually like Lulu? 

“I have to…uhm…” Her heart beat faster as she felt the tears pricking her eyes again. This time she knew she couldn’t hold them back for long. She had to get away, she couldn’t let them see her this way. 

“I have to get out of here.” 

“You okay?” Nicolas asked. 

“Yes!” She plastered on the happiest smile she could manage. “I just need some air. I’ll be right back.” 

She didn’t give him a chance to respond. Instead she turned on her heels and hurried towards the villa, the tears already streaming down her face before she even had a chance to step inside. She stumbled as she ran up the stairs towards the beach hut, the unwanted tears blurring her vision. 

“I’ve lived with you and without you. And being without you doesn’t even compare. I want the wild, fun life that we used to have together. I know now that you’re the only girl for me.” She couldn’t stop the words from replaying in her mind over and over.  The words he’d spoken to her before he’d left for Casa Amor. Did she miss something? Had she gotten something wrong? 

How could he do this again? Why was he doing this again? After everything he had said before Casa Amor. How he wanted no one else, how he couldn’t picture his life without her. For him to then waltz back into the villa with Lulu, holding her hand and looking like he’d won a prize. Gemma heard the door click open, and quickly wiped her face clean of tears. When she looked up she saw Nicolas standing there. She tried, and failed, in giving him a smile. He gave her a soft one in return as he sat down next to her, leaving the door ajar. Then he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug. 

"It's okay, Gem," he said soothingly. "You're all right, I've got you."

She buried her face into his chest, soaking his shirt in her tears. He wasn't the one she'd wanted to hold her, but he was the only one willing, and right now that was all she cared about. As he held her, just letting her cry, Gemma couldn’t help but wonder where Suresh was. Why wasn’t he the one holding her right now? Explaining himself? Explaining why he’d brought back someone new. 

Was any of it real? 

But all of those thoughts made her feel incredibly guilty, especially when another man was holding her, soothing her. Eventually she pulled away from him and used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears. 

"Thank you, Nic," she said, then gestured to her face which she knew would be covered in smudged makeup. "I'm sorry I'm such a mess."

"Gem, you're anything but a mess," he said and wiped under her eyes with his thumbs. "You're absolutely stunning, you're whip smart, and so incredibly strong. What you've overcome since you came in here, what you continue to overcome, it astounds me. You astound me." He rested a hand on her knee, giving it a little squeeze. "A mess? No. You're a wonder, Gemma. You're special." 

She forced her bottom lip to stop quivering, her heart tightened painfully at his words. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, trying to convey how grateful she was. 

She found solace in his chest once more, forcing herself to steady her breathing by listening to his. 

“You’re so sweet, Nic,” she said, making him smile. 

What neither of them saw was Suresh, watching them through the crack in the door, his jaw clenched. He stalked off, hands balled into fists at his sides.

Nicolas pulled away slightly, giving her a warm smile as he brushed her hair out of her face.

"Why don't we get ready for bed, yeah?"

"Yeah," Gemma nodded. "Yeah, that sounds good."

Nicolas met Gemma outside of the dressing rooms, after she’d changed into pajamas and removed the rest of her makeup for the night. 

“Wow,” he gushed. 

“What?” she looked up at him confused. 

“You look stunning.” 

“Thanks Nic,” she blushed. “Come on, let's go to bed.” 

He led the way, holding her hand, stealing glances at her every few steps. This was the exact distraction she needed right now. Because when he looked at her this way, she could forget for a second how broken and empty she felt inside. How this wasn’t the hand she wanted to hold. She searched the sea of beds for her new bed assignment, finding hers right next to his. She crawled into bed laying on her back not wanting to turn to her side and see anything happening two feet away.

“Hey…Gem…” 

She turned over to face Nicolas. He looked a bit nervous like he was lost in thought. 

“I just wanted to say…Thank you,” he paused and bit his lip anxiously before continuing. “I feel so lucky to be here with you. I know that I’m not your first choice tonight.” 

“Nic-” 

“Just let me finish, beautiful,” he smiled at her, cupping her face. “I know that I’m not your first choice tonight but I want you to give me the opportunity and the chance to prove to you why I should be. Suresh, Alfie, none of these guys see what I see in you. You’re special, Gemma. When it came to stick or twist I had already come to terms with leaving. Because if it wasn’t you who picked me to stay, then I would rather go.” 

“Really?” 

Nicolas edged closer to her, until their faces were inches from each other. He took her hand in his and looked deep into her eyes.

“You were the only one for me. From the first day I laid my eyes on you I knew I had to get to know you better. And the more I do, the more I like you.” 

“Nic…” 

“You don’t have to say anything right now, Gem. I just want this moment with you.” 

He looked deeply into her eyes, leaning in gently and pressing his lips tentatively on hers. The kiss started off slow and languid, but soon his tongue was searching for hers desperately and his hands were roaming her body. 

“Nic…” 

“Sorry, I lost myself there a bit.” He  blushed. 

“Good night,” she murmured.

“Good night, beautiful.” 

As her eyes fluttered open the next morning, the first person she saw was Suresh. In the middle of the night, they’d both turned and unknowingly faced each other in their respective beds. He was sleeping peacefully only inches away from her now. So close yet so far away. She watched as his chest rose and fell with every breath, staring at his God-like body. She had always loved waking up before him and watching him sleep. There was a softness and a vulnerability that didn’t normally come out when he was awake. 

Gemma had been so lost in thought she didn’t notice he had woken up and was staring back at her. 

A small smirk touched his lips as her cheeks turned a bright crimson hue, evidence that she had been caught red-handed. He seemed to start to say something but before he was able to get a word out, Nicolas snaked an arm around her waist, bringing her closer to him and kissed her cheek. 

“Good morning, beautiful.” 

The moment was gone. Suresh rolled his eyes and turned over in bed, not wanting to witness this scene for a second longer than he had to. 

She turned over to face Nicolas and gave him a small smile. 

“Morning, Nicolas.” 

“I was thinking I could whip us up some breakfast this morning. Maybe some avocado toast?” 

“That sounds lovely. I can help you.” 

“No, I wouldn’t dream of it.” 

As Nicolas walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen area, Gabi walked over to Suresh’s bed and nudged his shoulder. 

“Suresh, I think it’s time we go for a chat.” 

Suresh sat up in his bed and nodded begrudgingly. 

“Okay, but I’d like Gemma to come too.” He turned to her on the bed next to him, his eyes locked on hers. “Gem, will you join us?” 

“What? No, Suresh, I asked for a private chat with you.” Gabi looked like she was gonna stomp her foot in defiance. “I want to talk about what happened between us.”  

Gemma ignored Gabi, looking at Suresh and his dizzying green eyes. This is what she had been wanting from him for so long. A proper explanation, the truth once and for all. 

“Okay, Suresh, lead the way.” 

Suresh led both girls up to the roof terrace, holding the door open for them to step outside first. Then he made a point of sitting closest to Gemma, their knees almost touching. 

“I guess I should start since I owe both of you answers. Gem, I’m so sorry I never told you about the full extent of what happened between me and Gabi. But you have to understand that from my perspective it was just a fling, I never saw it as a serious relationship and I didn’t want to cause more harm and hurt you even more than I already had.” 

“A fling? You call FIVE months a fling, Suresh?” Gabi snapped.

Suresh paused to collect his thoughts before continuing. 

“I’m not trying to hurt you more than I know I already have. But Gab, we were never that serious. I only ever went to your apartment, you barely came to mine and when you did it was only after we’d been together for months. Did you never wonder why that was?” 

She gave him a confused look but waited for him to continue. 

“It was because of Gemma.”

“Me?” Gemma frowned. “What do you mean?” 

He stared at her sea green eyes with a mixture of adoration and longing, while his fingers inched achingly close to her knee. 

“For months I couldn’t take any of our pictures down. It just felt so…final. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until Simon came over one day and forced me to take them down.” 

Gemma didn’t know what to think. When she first found out he had cheated on her, she had every intention of throwing away anything that reminded her of him. Their pictures, ticket stubs to concerts, and all of the many gifts he’d bought her over their year together. She had worked quickly and efficiently, dumping everything in a large cardboard box, overstuffing it to the point where it wouldn’t close. But when she walked to the front door of her flat she couldn’t turn the knob. She couldn’t throw their memories away. She’d hugged the box close, slid to the ground  and cried. Eventually she’d picked herself off the floor and carried the box into her bedroom, putting it on a shelf in her closet. 

“I-I know what you mean, Resh. I couldn’t get rid of your things either,” Gemma said as she stared at him. 

“As much as I’m loving this trip down memory lane for you two, it’s not really about you, Gemma.” Gabi turned to look at Suresh with an exasperated look in her eyes. “Suresh, I asked you up here for answers for me, not to reminisce with your ex. Because a fling does not accurately describe what I was to you. You liked me, the way you acted around me wasn’t just a fling, even if we didn’t go on lavish trips around the world or fancy dates like you did with Gemma. There was something there. You took me to that lovely restaurant, but then I never heard from you again? Why?” 

Suresh sighed and ran his large fingers through his hair.  

“It was because of Gemma.” He noticed Gabi wince but he continued. “I saw her while we were having dinner. Before that night, I had been able to numb my feelings… I could pretend that I was okay. That I was over her. But that night…that night changed everything. I realized then that I’m still - I was still in love with her and I couldn’t continue seeing you.” 

“Wait, what night was this?” Gemma asked, confused. 

“You were out with your parents at Chez Louis. You looked so happy. I loved seeing you like that. Your parents seemed to be in a really good place too.” 

“Yeah, they are,” she beamed at him. 

“And this,” Gabi  said, motioning to the two of them, “is exactly why I wanted to have a private conversation, Suresh.” 

“I’m sorry. Gabi, I don’t want to hurt you, that’s not my intention here. You’re right, I did like you. You were fun to be around when I was in a dark place, you helped me out of that rut and I’m thankful for that. But Gabi, my feelings for you were never anywhere near what I feel for Gemma. Yes, it was a dick move to ghost you and I’m sorry for that. I should’ve ended things properly and I hope you’ll see this now as me ending things properly with you.” 

“You’re losing out on the best thing you could’ve ever had,” Gabi snapped as she sauntered away from the roof terrace, slamming the door behind her. 

Gemma snorted as she stared at the door. “You sure know how to pick ‘em, Suresh.”

“I picked you once, didn’t I?” 

“Now that was the best thing you ever did,” she retorted instinctively, then froze up as she realized what she'd said.

“Couldn’t agree with you more,” smirked Suresh, but before either of them had a chance to say anything else, Nicolas swung the roof terrace door open.

“Hey beautiful, thought you might need your caffeine,” he said, handing her a large iced coffee, exactly how she liked it. “Also wanted to let you know I just finished breakfast, I wasn't sure if you were done here since I saw Gabi go downstairs.” 

Gemma looked at Suresh, uncertain of what to do. 

“I uhm…” 

**TEXT PING** 

“I’ve got a text!” Lulu shouted from the kitchen below. “Oh my god! Suresh!! Where are you?” 

“Hold up Lu, we’re coming right down,” Nicolas shouted over the side. 

Gemma and Suresh looked at each other and he sighed. 

“We’ll talk later?” Suresh asked. 

Gemma looked at him and hesitated. There was still so much left to say. So many things she needed answers to. She needed more time with him. But what if they weren’t the ones she wanted?

“Please, Gem,” he whispered. 

“Um…okay, maybe later. Let’s go Nic,” she said with her hand outstretched to him. 

Nicolas interlaced his fingers with Gemma’s and led her away from the roof terrace downstairs to the kitchen, Suresh walking behind them. As soon as they stepped outside, Lulu squealed as she came running towards them. 

“Babe! We’re going on a date!” She showed him the text, barely able to stand still.

“What!?” Kat snarled. “Finn and I have been coupled for weeks and you two get to go on a date. How is that fair?”

“You’ve already been on a date with Finn,” Dana pointed out. 

“That one didn’t even count, it was early days! Urgh! Let’s go, Finn.” Kat grabbed Finn by the arm, leading him away to the loungers.

Lulu grabbed Suresh's hand and tugged. “Come on, babe, let’s go get ready!”

He gave her a charming smile and did as she asked. Gemma stared after them, her chest tightening as she begged for him to turn around.

If you still love me you’ll turn back and look at me. If you still love me you’ll turn back and look at me. If you still love me you’ll turn back and look at me.

Her breathing hitched slightly as a chill ran up her spine when he turned and glanced back at her, giving her a small smile.

Super special shout out to @0shewrites0 and @future-mrs-suresh who both read this story 87 times and sent me notes and made it so much better. Love you both 🥰💖

NC-17

Suresh was fuming. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel, angrily driving away from Gemma’s apartment. Suresh knew Gemma had been taking her parents’ separation hard but he had tried everything he could to make her feel better. 

Over the past two weeks, she ignored his advice, flinched at his touch as if she were some wounded animal and he could feel her slowly pulling away from him. But tonight had been the last straw, this was the fourth time this week that she had canceled plans without warning. 

I feel so fucking stupid. Four times. FOUR TIMES. 

At least the other three times she texted him before to let him know she wasn’t up for it. 

It wasn’t fair. Tonight was going to be special. He had planned everything out, he bought her a new dress that he knew she would love, booked an impossible reservation at the restaurant they had been trying to get into for months and he planned on asking her to move in with him tonight. Everything was going to be perfect. But then it wasn’t. 

FOUR FUCKING TIMES. How are we supposed to move in together when she keeps pulling away from me like this? 

Heat coursed through his already tense body as he noticed his phone light up with Gemma’s gorgeous smile, calling him for the third time since he’d left her apartment. He didn’t want to see her face, hear her voice tonight. He ignored her many attempts, turning his phone on airplane mode. There would be no talking tonight, only drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. 

Suresh walked into The Social, a swanky cocktail bar that he frequented often with his colleagues after work. He stormed up to the bar, not looking at anyone, distractedly and very loudly moving the empty chairs at one side of the bar. 

FOUR TIMES. 

“Rough night, Mr. Fraser?” Gabi said with a flirty giggle. 

He looked up at the waitress who was eyeing him flirtatiously, pressing her tattooed breasts together while she leaned over the bar. 

“Gabi, I don’t want to talk about my night,” he said looking at her pointedly. 

“I think I have a way of making it better,” she cooed, turning around, grabbing a glass and pouring Irish whiskey into it. “Here,” she said, biting her lip and grazing her hand on his as she handed him the glass. 

For weeks he’d enjoyed a bit of innocent flirty banter with Gabi, but tonight was different. He craved the attention she was giving him, he desperately needed the flirty looks and repartee after being discarded by Gemma for weeks. They played a game of cat and mouse with each other as she gave him shot after shot. 

“Ok handsome last one,” she rolled her eyes playfully, handing him a shot glass overflowing with amber liquid. 

“W-wha you mean? You cuttin’ me off?” he said, slurring his words. 

“No babe, we’re closing,” she smirked, while placing his bill in front of him. 

“BOO!” He dropped his wallet, keys and phone on the bar, fishing out his credit card from his wallet and handing it to Gabi. 

“Suresh you’re not planning on driving home are you?” 

“A course! I’m fiiinnneee.”

“Suresh no, you’d immediately crash into the first light post. There’s a couch in the back office, I’ll call the owner Tommy and let him know you’re sleeping it off. Come on.” Gabi walked over to Suresh and grabbed his things off the bar top and grabbed his hand while he stumbled next to her as she led him to the back office. 

They walked into the dimly lit office and she pointed to the old black leather couch that had seen better days. 

“Home sweet home,” she said, eyeing the fish bowl centerpiece brimming with condoms on the black IKEA coffee table in front of the couch. 

He looked around the room, following her eyeline and looked back at her. She looked up at him with a delicious smirk on her overly glossed lips and a hungry gaze in her eyes. Gemma hadn’t looked at him like that in weeks, all he wanted was to feel wanted, to feel desired by his girlfriend. Looking at her now in his drunken state, her face somehow morphed into Gemma’s right before his eyes. 

Gemma? 

“You want me to stay? You seem like you could use some company tonight.” She moved closer to him, stroking his arm. 

Before he realized what was happening he was kissing Gabi furiously. His large fingers twisted in her short red hair, bringing her closer to him. Gabi’s hands roamed his body unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his tight abs as she made her way to his belt buckle. 

“Holy shit,” she gasped, palming his dick through his underwear. She began to rub his outline up and down before dropping to her knees and releasing his dick, taking him in her mouth. 

He groaned as he fisted his hand in her hair and thrust into her mouth, making her gag. Any gentleness he usually reserved for Gemma was gone. Gabi didn’t seem to mind and continued to move up and down his shaft, circling his tip with her tongue. Without breaking contact he dug his hand in the bowl next to them, spilling condoms all over the floor, haphazardly ripping one open with his teeth. He grabbed her hair again this time pulling her off of him. 

“I’m going to fuck you,” he growled, rolling the condom on. 

She wasted no time taking off her top, hiking her skirt up removing her lacy red thong. He grabbed her roughly, spinning her around and pushing her forward against the desk. Suresh came up behind her gripping her hips roughly as he positioned himself between her legs, he thrust into her without warning. His thick, long dick filled Gabi completely, causing her to scream out in sheer pleasure. Suresh thrust into her hard and fast, his hands moving up her body to roughly grab her breasts. Gabi continued to scream at the top of her lungs. 

He kept thrusting into her harder and faster, gripping into her hips so hard he knew there would be bruises in place of his fingerprints tomorrow. 

“I’m coming…I’m COMING!!” she screamed, as her walls tightened around him. 

He felt his body growing in anticipation and he came with her. The room was silent outside of their heavy breathing. Suresh pulled himself off of her, removing the condom and crashed down on the couch.

“Oh my god Suresh, that was incredible,” she sighed blissfully, as she cleaned herself off and adjusted her skirt. 

He nodded at her but said nothing. 

She looked at him seductively, as she strutted over to the couch, with just her lacy bra and skirt. She laid next to him and took out her phone and started to take some pictures of the two of them. 

“Add your number to my phone,” she held out her hand, handing him her iPhone and he saved his contact information. 

“I’ll send you these later so you don’t forget this night,” she said. 

Suresh nodded and soon fell into a drunken, fitful sleep. 

As he stirred awake, his brain felt entirely too large for his skull. His head throbbed, his mouth felt dry and disgusting and he desperately needed water, but he couldn’t move because Gabi was still cuddled close to him. 

Shit shit shit. Suresh what the fuck did you do? 

He didn’t want to wake her and have to face the consequences of his actions. So he got up slowly and moved methodically to his clothes that were thrown in a pile on the ground and started to get dressed. 

Where the fuck is my phone? My keys? Shit Gemma is never going to forgive me for this.

He saw his phone, keys, wallet and belt piled together in a corner and he ran to them.

“Where’s the fire,” Gabi giggled. 

“I have to go. I can’t be here. I’m- I’m sorry. Thank you for letting me crash.” Suresh ran like a bat out of hell from the office, leaving Gabi alone. 

I cheated on Gemma. I cheated on the literal love of my life. I ruined everything because of one fight. 

He turned his phone back on from airplane mode and he saw all of the missed text messages from Gemma. 

G: Babe I’m sorry you’re right…come back please 

G: i love u resh i didnt want to go out but i still wanted to see you tonight i ordered from all your favorite places 

G: Babe please don’t be like this. I’m sorry i have been pushing you away but i promise you that im done. I dont want to lose you

G: I’m going to make it up to you

FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. Make it up to ME?! After what I’ve just fucking done. 

The realization of what he did hit him like a ton of bricks. 

I have to tell her. I can’t keep this from her. But if I tell her she’ll leave me. But if I don’t tell her and she finds out, she’ll definitely leave me.

Suresh ran through the options in his mind. Gemma was fragile right now, her parents’ separation had taken a toll on her. Telling her that he cheated would only further hurt and break her. He didn’t want to be the person that caused her more heartache. She didn’t deserve that. Not for a mistake he made. But hiding this from Gemma would mean holding onto the biggest secret he’d ever had in his life. He knew the guilt would eat at him. But he deserved that. He deserved to feel the pain and guilt of hurting Gemma, something he wished he had never done. 

If I tell her she’ll be devastated. I can’t hurt her like this. I’d rather suffer than have Gemma hurting for one day. 

He rushed into the shower when he got home, scrubbing his skin raw wanting to get any remnants of last night off of him. As the water poured down around him, Suresh couldn’t hold back the heavy sobs that escaped him. The guilt of what he had done eating away at him inside. 

She’s never going to forgive me for this. 

After changing into a t-shirt and lounge pants, Suresh grabbed his phone finally ready to call Gemma. As he waited for the first dial tone, he heard someone entering his apartment, he looked up and there she was. With red rimmed eyes like she’d been crying all night or for the greater part of it. She ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him. 

“I’m so sorry babe,” she said, burying her face in his chest. “You don’t deserve how awful I’ve been to you the last few weeks.” She looked up at him. “Have you been crying too?” She asked looking deep into his own red rimmed eyes.

FUCK. Why did she have to apologize to me? I don’t deserve any apologies right now. 

“A little. I don’t want to lose you Gem.” 

In that moment her lips pressed into his, the kiss was soft but charged with a longing that Suresh had always loved. Suresh pulled back from the kiss, his forehead touching hers and he looked deep in Gemma’s eyes. 

“I don’t want to lose you G…” he hesitated as if he was going to say something else, his expression unreadable. 

I’m not going to lose you Gem, I can’t. It’s never going to happen again. I promise.

Gemma smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself closer as she crashed her lips onto his again for a scorching kiss. 

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not going anywhere,” she said softly.

⚠️ WIP ⚠️

BESTIES!!!

I'm sorry I've been MIA fic wise but I was trying to sort out where I was going next on Gemma x Suresh's journey. I did so many fluffy one-shots of them through the season that I didn't want to put them through the trauma we all had to go through...but then @sparxaf reminded me I'm a masochist and doing a post-Casa rewrite would be fun. So here we are!!

I'm going to be starting off from the Casa Amor recoupling and take Gemma and Suresh through the finals. There's going to be a few challenges we didn't see that I think could've carried the story along a little better. Don't worry they won't make you mad like the NSFW kiss, it'll be a movie. *HINT HINT* 😉😉😉

First Chapter: Flight Risk drops on Monday, Nov 21st.

Read on Ao3

They always say your life flashes before your eyes when you’re about to die. Fast moving images of happier times. Maybe it was meant to be a calming presence to remind you of your best times on Earth before you ventured into the other side. Was she dying? Why were all of her good memories with Suresh flashing before her eyes now? The two of them in a helicopter ride over Dubai, jumping off the side of a yacht and swimming in the Mediterranean, decorating a Christmas tree while his parents’ mischievous cat tried to knock the ornaments off, the two laughing while they sipped wine and danced around in their underwear, drunk off happiness more than the wine they consumed. But she knew she wasn’t dying, she could feel her heart beating erratically like it was trying to escape her body, so she was definitely alive. 

“He was going to propose to me, not her. ME!”   

The words echoed around in her head, causing her actual physical pain. She didn’t know what to do, what to think. She was completely overwhelmed by the tsunami of emotions crashing down on her, taking her under. She felt like she was gonna throw up. This couldn’t be happening. It just couldn’t be. But it was. And it was happening in front of everyone. It was happening on TV. God she wanted to cry. She closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath. 

Slowly the white noise around her cleared up. She blinked, clearing the haze from her eyes, and looked up at Kat who was standing in front of her, bombarding her with expletives and evil glares. She heard Finn close by, trying to make his way over, trying to reason with Kat. Meera was demanding Alfie explain why he hadn’t chosen her movie but Alfie was busy lashing out at Suresh, demanding answers about the supposed engagement ring. Suresh ignored him and pleaded with Gemma to have a private chat away from the others, Gabi hot on his heels demanded her own answers while Dana tried to stop her. It was complete and utter chaos. 

“Hey.” Gemma turned when she heard Lulu’s soft voice cut through the deafening shouts.

“You look a bit overwhelmed,” said Lulu. “Do you want to get out of here?”

Gemma nodded. “Yes.”

“Oh, no you don’t,” Kat snapped and grabbed Gemma’s arm as she stood up. “I am not done with you!”

“Kat, please–” Finn pleaded. 

“Fuck off, Finn!” Kat sneered, glaring at Gemma. “You’re not getting off that easy. We need to talk about Finn’s movie.”

Gemma yanked her arm free, barely glancing at Kat as she walked back towards the villa.

“Gemma, get back here!” Kat screamed.

“Gemma, you have to let me explain!” Suresh called out after her.

“Gemma, I didn’t say any of those things!” Nicolas shouted. “It was edited! That movie was completely out of context, the boys were winding me up. They got me to the point of saying those things but it’s not how I actually feel. I’d never say those things about you, it was just banter with the boys, you gotta trust me they didn’t show the full footage.”

That made Gemma spin on her heels, eyes ablaze with fury. “Let me get this straight,” she seethed. “Not only do you think I’m, what did you call it again, ‘desperate and lonely’? But you also take me for an absolute fool? Do you really think I’m that stupid?”

“Gemma–” Nicolas tried.

“Fuck off, Nicolas.”

“No, production needs to answer for the lies they edited together!” Nicolas continued. “It’s very convenient that Pete and Johnny aren’t here to back me up, but I never said those things.” 

Gemma looked at him and laughed bitterly. “The fact that you’re still lying about what was said when it was clear as day, is baffling. So I want to make myself abundantly clear so you aren’t confused by any ‘production edits.’ I will never in a million years be with you. I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to even look at you. Leave me alone.” 

“But Gem-” 

“She said to leave her the fuck alone, Nicolas,” Suresh snarled. He walked the four short steps over to her and cupped her face while he tucked a strand of loose hair around her ear. 

“G, please, let me explain this,” said Suresh, and Gemma’s eyes locked on his. She didn’t try to hide the tears that rushed to her sea green eyes, there was no use. “I promise it’s not what you think–”

“I thought your lies couldn’t get any worse, Suresh,” Alfie interrupted. 

“You were planning to marry Gabi while you were stringing Gemma along?” asked Finn. 

“You’re a real piece of work, Suresh,” Dana snickered while Kat clicked her tongue. “Yeah, good luck explaining your way out of this one.” 

“That’s enough!” Suresh roared, rendering all of the islanders speechless. “This has nothing to do with any of you, none of you know what you’re talking about!”

“How do they not, Suresh?” said Gabi, having pushed her way past the others. “I know what I found.”

“Gabi–”

“How else do you explain the large emerald cut diamond ring I found buried deep in your closet?” 

“W-what?” Gemma looked between Gabi and Suresh. “Did you say an emerald cut? With smaller baguette diamonds on the side?”

Gabi gave her a confused look. “H-how did you know?” 

Gemma’s eyes locked back onto Suresh’s, and she opened her mouth to speak but words evaded her. She closed her mouth and tried again. 

“Like…like we always talked about…like my nan’s ring?” she asked, tears still flowing down her cheeks. 

He swallowed but nodded, then took a deep breath before he continued. “The ring was never meant for Gabi,” he said, shifting uncomfortably on his feet. “It was meant for you.” 

She was trembling, feelings of panic and despair now replaced with confusion and anger. 

“Why didn’t you say something sooner?” she whispered indignantly. 

“I felt terrible after Excess Baggage. It was selfish of me not to say something sooner, but it broke my heart to know that I ruined everything between us. That you wanted everything I wanted, too.” 

“So everything you did, our whole relationship, was all based on lies?” Gabi’s question snapped them both back and Suresh turned to look at her. She was watching him with tears in her eyes. 

“It’s always been about her, hasn’t it? I was nothing to you?” 

“Gabi…” He slumped his shoulders and sighed. “I won’t make excuses for myself. I shouldn’t have led you on, and I should’ve been more upfront about my feelings. I wasn’t ready for a relationship so soon, not after…” He cleared his throat. “I-I’m sorry for everything I’ve put you through. Both of you.” 

“Whatever, Suresh.” Gabi stalked off towards the kitchen with Dana and Lulu following close behind her. 

“Gem, can we go chat about this, please?” Suresh asked. Gemma swallowed, her chest so tight and filled with more emotions than she knew what to do with. “Please, I need to talk to you. Alone. About everything we’ve seen tonight.”

“Okay.” Her reply came out in an unsure whisper, but he heard it nonetheless. She cleared her throat, then repeated, “Okay. We can talk.” 

The two of them made their way onto the roof terrace, both silent, timid and anxious. Neither of them knew what to do, what to say. Gemma felt a chill from the night air. All she wanted was for Suresh to hold her, wrap her arms around her, tell her everything was going to be okay. Like he’d used to. But at the same time, she didn’t want him to touch her, there was still too much going on, too many emotions she couldn’t control. There was just still too much left unsaid. They sat down in the same spot they’d talked a couple of days prior, but this time closer, no more than a foot of tensioned air between them. Neither made any move to separate or move further apart. 

Suresh nervously ran his large fingers through his hair and looked at Gemma. He carefully reached out and took her hands, relieved when she didn’t pull away. Then he sighed deeply. “Gem…I’m not really sure where to begin.” 

“Why don’t you start with why you didn’t tell me about the ring, Suresh.”

“I’m sorry. I had my reasons for not saying anything, though I know they’re all stupid and I regret not saying something to you sooner. I never mentioned the ring because I realized I don’t deserve someone like you.” 

With her brows furrowed, she didn’t hide her confusion but she let him continue. 

“You’ve never cheated, you deserve someone who has never put you through that pain and hurt. When I found out you wanted to propose too, my entire world shattered. To know that we could’ve been married right now had I not made that one mistake…it…it broke me.” 

Suresh shifted uncomfortably in his seat, biting back the tears that threatened to spill out of the corners of his eyes. He drew a shaky breath and continued. 

“That’s why I wanted you to move on. I knew Alfie was head over heels about you and at the time it just made sense that you should move on with someone like him. Dependable, caring, someone who had been burned before and would never do something like that to someone else.” Suresh sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes as he continued. “But clearly you can’t trust anyone in here and I ended up putting you through even more unnecessary hurt.”

Gemma considered his words, desperately holding her cards to her chest. Not wanting to reveal anything too soon, terribly afraid that if she revealed how she truly felt for him this house of cards they’d built would quickly come crashing down. 

“Cheating on you…” He paused, chewing on the inside of his cheek to shift the pain to something physical that he could focus on instead of the emotions causing havoc in his mind. “It was the single greatest mistake of my life. I’ve gone back to the moment several times in my head, wishing I could change the outcome, turn back time somehow. But obviously I never could.  So I’ve had to live with that guilt and the pain after what I did. I’ve spent so many nights thinking about the life we could’ve had together, the life we always dreamed about. Anytime I’d see a small little teddy bear looking dog on the street I’d think of you and the dog we always talked about getting after we moved in together. Every time I’d walk in my empty, lonely flat, I was hit with the cruel reminder that I wasn’t coming home to you, in the house we always dreamed about buying.” 

He breathed in sharply, as if the memory alone hurt him too much and he continued.  

“In the early days after it happened, I racked my brain trying to think of ways to get you to forgive me but I soon realized my efforts were futile, you were never coming back. But then Simon told me you were coming on Love Island and it felt like fate or God or whatever was calling out to me. I couldn’t just give up on you. I had to try one more time. For you, Gemma. For us.” 

Gemma bit her lip nervously, she was so confused, there were so many emotions clouding her mind at the moment. They’d been playing a game of hide and seek with their feelings since they first arrived in the villa. But could she continue with this game? Especially if she was the only one playing? 

All she wanted to do in this moment was reach out and touch his face, bring him closer to her, kiss him like she used to so many times before. Tell him how much she still loved him, how much she still wanted to be with him. But her fear got the better of her and she just looked at him with tear-stained eyes and said, “You’ve made a big mess of everything, haven’t you?” 

“I know I have G, and I’m sorry. I truly am. You’re the only person that I’ve ever loved. As much as I’ve tried to forget what we had, I can’t. I’m still in love with you. I will never not be in love with you.”

Gemma knew she shouldn’t, it was still too soon, there were still so many things up in the air, but she felt like she was going to explode. She knew her emotions were clouding her thinking, the rational part of her brain screaming at her to take a step back. But she didn’t listen. Instead she leaned in and their lips met in a single impulsive motion. The kiss started off slow and tender, both too scared to push the other too far. But soon it became feverish and desperate as they both realized how much they missed each other, remembered how much they loved each other. By the time they finally broke apart, he rested his forehead against hers as they tried to catch their breath. He couldn’t help but smile wide. 

“God, I’ve missed you.” He squeezed her tighter. 

A soft sob escaped her lips. “I’ve missed you too, Resh.” 

They just sat in silence for a moment, both drinking in the familiar smell of the other, trying to wrap their collective minds around what had just happened. “Babe, what does this mean for us?” Suresh asked, and although it was only a whisper it tore through the silence like a knife. 

Gemma paused, trying to think. What did this actually mean for them? She couldn’t hide her feelings for him anymore, moreover she didn’t want to. But she was still terrified of what could happen if she got too close again. She shuddered to think of the last time she had and how he had broken her to her core. Shattering any semblance of who she was previously. She looked at him again and knew there was only one answer. 

“I think it’s time I stopped ignoring my feelings for you and embraced what this is, what this could be. I’m done with the avoidance and the resentment.” She felt her throat close up, so she pulled away from him to try and collect herself, trying to clear her mind just a little. “I’ve known for a long time, even if I’ve tried to tell myself I don’t, I do.” She met his gaze, his eyes finally showing the vulnerability she had longed for. 

“I still love you,” she said, and as she did so she felt herself relax, the tension leaving her body and she finally let go of the delusion she’d clung to to keep herself afloat. “I’ve never stopped loving you. But If we did decide to try again, we wouldn’t be the same.”

“I don’t need us to be the same.” He reached out and cupped her face, brushed his thumb over her cheek. “I just need us to be us again.” Then he wrapped his arms around her as tight as he could, almost not believing that this was actually happening. He pulled away just enough to kiss her, trying to convey how much he loved her and how sorry he was and how thankful he was. They both knew tonight wouldn’t solve all their problems, but they were together again and that was enough for now. 

As Suresh looked over the terrace he saw the lawn was completely empty, he noticed everyone else had made their way inside for bed. 

“I don’t want to rush you,” he said, clearing his throat. “But would you want to sleep outside on the daybeds with me tonight?”

“Being that the alternative is sleeping in a bed with Nicolas–” Gemma grimaced, making Suresh chuckle “–I think I’ll sleep with you tonight.” 

“That’s not the only reason you want to sleep with me tonight and you know it,” he snickered. 

“Maybe not,” she admitted, a comfortable warmth settling in her chest. She kissed him again softly before they headed inside to get ready for bed. 

Gemma couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept so well. Even with the insane heat of the Mallorcan sun pounding down on them and Suresh’s leg splayed on top of her, his arm draped over her creating a pool of sweat in between their limbs, she’d never felt happier. She looked at his sleeping face and smiled, lacing her fingers through his hair. 

“Mmm…that feels good.” 

He opened his eyes slowly, bringing her closer to him still, pressing her body into his as he crashed his lips onto hers. His kiss grew bolder and more persistent, their hands exploring each other's bodies for the first time in over a year. As she pulled away slowly she could hear some islanders heading into the kitchen.

“We should probably get up, babe,” she sighed. 

“No…” he groaned, hugging her closer, burying his head in her neck. 

She started giggling, but he slowly started to get up, stretching his toned God-like physique. 

“Breakfast?”

“Yes, please,” she beamed. 

“Come on then. I need my sous chef, I’m gonna make your favorite chocolate chip pancakes.” 

At the prospect of delicious food, Gemma got up quickly. She took his hand in hers, and  they walked to the kitchen together. She couldn’t help but to think of how different this morning was to the many mornings she’d had so far in the villa. The sun seemed to shine brighter, the sea in the distance seemed calmer, bluer, the birds’ songs seemed chipper, happier. It was like the world was righting itself just for the two of them. As they entered the kitchen, the warmth they felt seconds prior was washed away by an icy glare from Kat who sat on a stool, as if she was waiting for them to arrive. Meera and Alfie did not seem to have fully resolved their issues from last night either as they coldly prepared breakfast. 

“Gemma,” Kat spat menacingly. “We should chat.” 

“Kat…Suresh and I are about to have breakfast. We can chat after.” 

Kat stood up abruptly like a defiant toddler. “NO! NOW! You owe me.” 

“Just go. I’ll get things started,” Suresh said, squeezing her shoulders. Then he leaned down and whispered in her ear to make sure no one else heard.  “Just stay close, so I can see you if I need to come over and save you.” 

She couldn’t help but smile at his words, but she took his advice and chose a lounger close to the kitchen area. 

“Ok Kat, I’m here.” 

Kat leered. “I need to know what’s going on between you and Finn.” 

Gemma couldn’t help but laugh. Other than the movie last night, she’d had no other indication that Finn had ever even been interested in her. He’d barely glanced her way since their first date and the first recoupling. 

“Kat, seriously? Nothing.” She made sure to put extra emphasis on ‘nothing’ to try and knock it into Kat’s head. “Anytime I’ve ever chatted with Finn, it’s about you. His movie caught me completely off guard. But for me, there’s nothing there. Suresh and I are finally starting to work things out, and he’s my only focus right now. I’m not interested in anyone else.” 

“Well you need to let Finn know that,” Kat growled. “I don’t need him thinking he has a chance with you.” 

“I’m saying this because I’m your friend, or at the very least I thought we were until yesterday. I don’t have to do anything. It was his movie, his feelings or whatever they are for me. Not the other way around. And if you think that him pining for me or anyone else would hurt your chances, well–” Gemma spread her arms and gave a slight shrug “–maybe he’s not the guy for you.” 

She stood up and walked back to the kitchen, not giving Kat a chance to respond. She was done, she’d said her piece and there was nothing left to talk about. She came up behind Suresh and wrapped her arms around his waist, watching as he slid the first pancake onto a plate and poured more batter on the skillet. 

“That was quick,” he said as he craned his neck to look at her. “How’d it go?” 

“I just told her I didn’t know why Finn said what he said in his video and that we’re trying to work things out now and I’m not interested in getting to know him or anyone else.” 

“You don’t?” Suresh asked anxiously. 

“You do?!” 

“No!” he laughed. “It’s just really nice to hear that you don’t either though, we didn’t really talk about that last night.” He expertly flipped the pancake, landing perfectly on the skillet. 

She smiled at him gently before she inched her way in front of him and buried her face in his chest. She wordlessly clung to him, breathing in his scent, feeling his chest rise, his strong arms around her waist. Just two days before, she thought she’d never be able to hold him like this again. That he’d never hold her like this again. Caress her hair, like he was now, and kiss the top of her head. He cupped her chin and made her look at him. He didn’t need to say anything for her to know how much he loved her, his eyes said it all on their own. She could see her future in his eyes now. 

“Hey, love birds…whatever you’re cooking is burning,” Dana laughed.  

Breaking them out of their haze, Gemma and Suresh looked down to a black, smokey pancake. Suresh made a face as he dumped the pancake in the bin while Gemma laughed. 

After the chaos of the night before and the residual dust that needed to settle after the whirlwind from that morning, the afternoon seemed to calm down a bit with the islanders hanging out in smaller groups dispersed throughout the villa. Some liaised and swam in the pool, some hung out in the gym, but Gemma found herself nestled with Suresh in the daybeds again. Talking about everything and nothing at all, reminiscing about Suresh’s insane family cat, both in a fit of giggles when a text ping interrupted them. 

“I’ve got a text!” Gabi shouted excitedly from the pool. The other islanders all gathered around her as she read it out. 

ISLANDERS TONIGHT THERE WILL BE A RECOUPLING. THE GIRLS WILL EACH CHOOSE WHO THEY WANT TO COUPLE UP WITH #LadiesNight

Gemma looked up at Suresh but he was already looking down and beaming at her, she smiled back but she couldn’t help but notice she wasn’t the only one looking at him with interest.

No Other Love - Chapter 3: Mad Woman

The islanders head for a night out at 'the movies' where secrets are revealed.

🎵 Song 🎵: Mad Woman

Every time you call me crazy I get more crazy What about that? And when you say I seem angry I get more angry

Thank you to my angel bb @katsie who spoils me with her editing skills and who I love so much and don't deserve. She also added like a full page to this so this was basically cowritten by Kat.

Read on AO3

Gemma was suffocating under the pressure of it all and she couldn’t breathe. She awoke to find herself tangled under Nicolas’ heavy limbs, his leg splayed on top of hers and his arm draped heavily over her chest, preventing her from taking anything but small shallow breaths. She tried twisting her body underneath him but it only made him stir and move closer to her, holding her tighter than before. 

This is impossible. I need to wake him up or I’ll suffocate to death. 

“Nic,” she whispered. 

“Mmm…” he groaned. 

“Nic, I can’t breathe,” she gasped. 

He opened his eyes slowly and smiled, gently lifting his leg and arm off of her. 

“I’m sorry about that, beautiful.” 

She suppressed an annoyed groan. Why did he have to keep calling her that? Suresh had always called her that. It was his thing, and Nic doing it made her uncomfortable.

“It’s okay. I just wanted an earlier start to the day,” she said, stretching as she got up. “But you sleep in.” She noticed Suresh wasn’t in bed and she couldn’t stop herself from wondering where he’d gone. She immediately pushed the thought from her mind. 

He’s with Lulu now, she reminded herself and quickly headed for the dressing room to clear her head.

She could hear the other islanders finally getting up as she finished getting ready, and listened as some of them called dibs on the showers, others headed out to the gym, while the sensible ones announced they were getting breakfast. Her heart skipped a little when her phone pinged, and she listened to see if anyone had heard. Then she was filled with a sense of dread as she realized the text she received was specifically for her, it was production asking her to head to the beach hut for an interview. Oh god, this isn’t going to be fun, she thought as she reached for the door knob. Before she had a chance to even reach it, it flew open and she stumbled back. A pair of hands grabbed her arms, keeping her from falling. She stared up at Suresh with wide eyes, and he smiled down at her.

“You ok, G?” It was like an unspoken electric charge passed between them, drawing them closer to one another. 

“Yeah, sorry about that,” she said, straightening herself out and taking a small step back, out of his grip. 

“Don’t apologize.” His hand twitched at his side as he dropped it. He wanted to touch her face but didn’t know if it would be a good idea or not. As if his hand made up his mind for him, his palm reached for her cheek, taking a strand of hair that had escaped her messy bun and tucked it behind her ear. Gemma took a shaky breath, frozen to the ground, unsure of what to do or say. Words were lost to her at this moment, stuck in the lump in her throat. She smiled up at him and right as she was going to say something they heard someone walking down the hall, towards them. His hand left her cheek, leaving it cold in his absence. 

They both turned to see Nicolas walking towards them. Suresh sighed, clearly annoyed to see him. 

“I’ll catch you later, Gem,” he said as he walked away, stealing one final glance at her. 

Nicolas walked up to her smiling, holding out his phone. “Hey Gem, did you get a text to come to the beach hut, too? Nicolas asked with a big grin. “I think we’re doing a couples interview.”

“Yeah…I did,” she said. “Let’s head inside.” As he closed the door behind them, Gemma briefly touched her cheek. 

Following their uneventful beach hut interview that took up most of the morning, Gemma found herself on the daybeds with Nicolas’ head in her lap as he told her different stories that she’d inadvertently stopped paying attention to. She added in the occasional  “umms” and “ahhs”, laughed when it seemed he was getting ready for a punchline, but she was too distracted to focus. She was absentmindedly playing with his hair when she saw Suresh pulling Lulu for a chat on the bean bags. Until then she hadn’t noticed that they were the only two not spending the day together. Suresh looked awkward, like he was having a hard time saying what he needed to say. Lulu sipped on her water bottle and nodded sadly. She said something with a crease in her brow, but Gemma couldn’t hear any of their conversation from where she sat, and it wasn’t like she could read their lips either. 

Are they breaking up? she wondered as she continued to weave her fingers through Nicolas’s hair. This looks like a breakup chat. 

At that moment, Suresh got up and hugged Lulu. 

That was definitely a break up chat. 

Suresh glanced around and Gemma’s chest tightened when they locked eyes. He took a deep breath before making his way over. Her hands started to sweat. 

He’s coming to talk to me. He’s coming to talk to me. He’s actually coming to talk to me. 

Her heart was hammering against her ribs and she was certain they were being bruised. She couldn’t breathe, her hands stilling in Nic’s hair. He didn’t notice.

She couldn’t help notice that Suresh looked anxious. Why was he anxious?

You’ve got this, Gemma, she told herself as she tried to calm her own nerves. 

*TEXT PING* 

Alfie and Meera were in the kitchen when he shouted, “Hey! I’ve got a text!” 

Suresh sighed, but changed course and walked over to the kitchen with the other islanders coming up behind him. 

Alfie made a show of clearing his throat before he read out the text as dramatically as he could, “Islanders, it’s time to get glammed up and hit the red carpet as you attend Mad Movies the premiere! #SpillThePopcorn #ITV2andChill.” 

“Mad Movies? So the movies are about us?” Nicolas asked. 

“It seems to be that way,” Alfie said, then continued reading the instructions. “This will be a boys vs girls challenge. Each team will sit on opposite sides answering questions. Whoever gets the question right, or closest to the correct answer, will get to choose which movie they want to watch.” 

“Oh…” Nicolas suddenly looked nervous. 

“You look a little green there, Nic. You have any secrets you don’t want shared?” Kat teased. 

“What? No!” Nic answered, his voice a note too high. “I’m totally fine.” He smiled at Gemma, but she could sense something was wrong. He was hiding something.

“Should we go get glammed up then girls?” Lulu asked. 

“Yes, let’s go!” Gabi trilled. 

After finishing up their looks, the girls made their way outside and gawked at the yard, which had been completely transformed in a matter of hours. In the middle of the lawn were two long tables lined up with popcorn, snacks and drinks. A row of chairs were lined up one side, facing a large theater-sized screen that read ‘WELCOME TO MAD MOVIES’.  

“Oh my god girls! Look, that table is for us, I cannot wait to see what hot goss we’re going to uncover!” Kat laughed. 

“Be careful what you wish for, Kat. You and Finn both have movies up there,” Dana cautioned. 

Kat leered at her, flipped her hair and proceeded to ignore her. “Obviously Finn’s been a good boy but if we girls win the first point, that’s definitely the movie we’re watching first. No ifs, ands or buts about it.” 

Gabi rolled her eyes and said, “I’m glad we’re all being team players here.” 

*TEXT PING* 

Gemma looked down at her phone and read out the first trivia question, “On average, roughly how many acts of sexual intercourse happen around the world every day?” 

She could hear the boys murmuring but focused on what the girls were saying. 

“OK, there’s eight billion people in the world,” Lulu whispered. We have to factor in babies, kids and super old people. None of them are having sex.”  

“And the text says everyday, too,” Gemma added. “The number can’t be that high.” 

She could hear Nicolas suggest two billion and the boys agreeing. 

“So what are we thinking, like 80 million?” Dana asked. 

“Yes! Let’s go with that,” Gabi whispered. 

Gemma wrote in their answer and a few seconds later they received a text alerting them the girls won. 

“Yes! Girls win, the answer is 100 million and we get to choose the first movie,” Gemma said excitedly. 

The screen suddenly updated and listed the ‘coming attractions’. 

The Sure-shank Redemption 

The Disaster Artist 

Good Finn Hunting

The Fast & The Furious 

“Girls, we obviously want to start with Good Finn Hunting, right?” Kat asked annoyingly. 

“Ugh just let her have it,” Meera said. “If we don’t give her the movie now, she’ll be whining about it all night.” 

The girls looked at Meera surprised and a few chuckled. 

“Personally I want to see The Sure-shank Redemption,” Gabi said and pointedly looked at Gemma. “See what kind of mess Suresh has been getting into behind our backs.” 

“We don’t have time for this…We pick ‘Good Finn Hunting’,” Gemma conceded. 

The screen came to life with Finn and a busty brunette chatting in bed at Casa Amor. She was wearing skimpy lingerie and eyed him seductively. 

“Do you know who you’re sharing a bed with tonight?” she asked. 

He smirked at her and played with her hair. 

“Well I couldn’t possibly kick you out of my bed when you look this good in it,” Finn teased. 

She inched closer to him wrapping herself around him and the clip cut to another scene. 

Finn and Eddie were whispering in what still looked to be Casa Amor. 

“So where’s your head at?” Eddie looked at Finn with a worried look on his face. 

Finn ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “Mate, I don’t know. Don’t get me wrong, Kat’s a great girl and all, but her kissing Alfie? That changed everything for me. She’s so immature, how can I possibly trust her? And then there’s Millie and Gemma, who I think are way more my type.” 

“Would you ever recouple with either of them?” 

“Honestly…Yes. Millie might be a little high maintenance for me and bringing her back from Casa Amor might prove challenging, but Gemma? She’s special. There’s something about her that I just can’t put my finger on. She’s stunning, obviously, but it’s more than that, isn’t it?”  

Kat looked at Gemma and Finn with fire in her eyes. 

“So I’m not your type then, Finn? You want Gemma now?” She said Gemma’s name as if it were sour and having it in her mouth disgusted her. “And who the fuck is Millie? Was it that bitch you spent the night with, while I slept alone every night?” 

“Kat, I was just mad about the kiss before Casa,” Finn said as he shifted awkwardly. “It  didn’t mean anything.” He stole a glance at Gemma, then quickly looked down at the beer in front of him. 

“I won’t sit around and be made a mug of, Finn,” she hissed, crossing her arms over her chest. “You better come and speak to me immediately after this is done.” 

*TEXT PING* 

“Come on guys, it’s all good, let’s move on to the next one,” Alfie said, trying to break the tension. “Let me read the next question.” He took a deep breath. “What precentage of people use their smartphones during sex?” 

“Ok girls, we need to get this one. The last movie was savage and now I'm scared to see what footage they have on us,” Gabi said. 

“It’s got to be high, people film it or watch porn on their smartphones,” Dana said. 

“Ok, so what are we thinking, like 50%?” Meera asked. 

There was a mixture of ‘yeahs’, so Meera sent in their response. 

*TEXT PING* 

“Answer is 20%. Boys win!” Alfie cheered. 

Once more the screen came to life with a curtain closing on the boys’ coming attractions, now listing the girls’. 

There’s Something about Meera 

The Ex Files 

The Truth About Kats & Dogs

She’s Just Not That Into You 

LuLu Land 

The Wedding Planner  

“Finn, you want to see Kat’s?” Alfie offered. 

“Actually, yes,” Finn said. “If you boys don’t mind.”

“I’d much rather watch The Ex Files,” Suresh said, eyeing Gemma. 

“Let’s do that one on the next go,” Nicolas said. “I’m curious about that one, too.” 

“Alright,” Alfie said, rubbing his hands together excitedly. “Let’s see The Truth About Kats & Dogs.” 

The screen faded to black, then an image of Kat lit up. She sashayed into the living room to find Suresh deep in thought. She sidled up close to him on the couch, placing her hands on his shoulders and started gently massaging him. 

“Suresh, it kills me to see you so upset,” she cooed. “Are you spooked by Gemma’s secret, that she was going to propose to you?” 

He shrugged her off his shoulders and moved slightly over, creating more space between them on the couch. 

“Kat…please. I’d like to be left alone right now, if you don’t mind.” 

But Kat wasn’t taking no for an answer. She gently cupped his face and forced him to look at her. 

“Babe, you said it yourself, you’d both be better off if you moved on. So why don’t you let me help you. I can take your mind off of Gemma,” she giggled and leaned just a little bit closer. “Help you see what else is out there. You might like it.” She attempted to close the distance entirely, but Suresh stood up so fast Kat nearly face-planted into the pillows.

Suresh headed to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. 

The clip cut to a different scene with Alfie and Kat on the roof terrace. 

“Babe, I know what I saw,” Kat said, her lips formed into a slight pout. “Gemma and Suresh were inhaling each other. I honestly think if I hadn’t interrupted them, they would’ve had sex right then and there in the middle of the day, on your shared bed.” 

Alfie looked at her, confused. “That can’t be. Gemma and I…we were finally in a really good spot. And Suresh is with Arlo. How could they do this to me?” 

Alfie looked as if he might cry. With one finger Kat gently stroked his cheek, landing on his chin. She lifted his head and forced him to look at her. 

“You deserve the world, Alf.” 

She looked at him with a hungry desire, then kissed him hard. At first it was clumsy and sloppy as she caught him off guard, but soon he joined in. Their tongues greeting each other for the first time in weeks. Alfie didn’t care that this was wrong, that he was cheating. All he cared about was that someone in this moment wanted him. The clip ended when Gemma opened the terrace door and caught them. 

“So it was you!” Finn shouted. “This whole time you had me thinking it was Alfie who initiated the kiss but it was you the whole time.” 

“Are we disregarding that she also tried to hook up with Suresh?” Dana asked. 

“Especially after I told her that it would make me uncomfortable,” Gemma added, looking at Kat angrily. 

“You’ve got a lot of nerve, Finn! I only kissed Alfie after you kissed Arlo. And Gemma, I told you I was going to put him to a test and he passed, you should be thrilled.” 

“I didn’t ask you to put Suresh through a test, Kat,” Gemma hissed, tensing up in her seat. “You decided that all on your own.” 

“This is exactly the shit I’m talking about. We were coupled up when you inserted yourself in both scenarios.” Finn took a large swig of his beer. 

*TEXT PING* 

“Looks like you and Kat will need to sidebar on this convo later, we have a new question,” Suresh said. 

“On average, how often do men think about sex?” 

He glanced up at Gemma and smirked. She tried so hard not to respond, but the corners of her mouth deceived her as they curled up into a smile. She looked away and focused on the task at hand. 

“I feel like there’s not a number big enough,” Gemma laughed. 

“Yeah, it’s gotta be high,” Meera said. 

“Every fifteen minutes,” Dana suggested. The girls all laughed in unison, including Kat who seemed to be getting slightly more comfortable after her and Finn’s outburst. 

“Let’s say, 18 times a day. That’s at least once every waking hour,” Lulu whispered. 

*TEXT PING* 

“Every seven seconds, boys win!” Suresh said, squaring his shoulders as his eyes locked on Gemma. “And we already know which movie we’re watching. Let’s play ‘The Ex Files’.”

The screen showed Gemma holding the Casa Amor postcard in her hands, staring at it longingly. She hadn’t let go of it since they received it nearly three hours ago.

“Babe, you’re going to burn a hole through that picture,” Dana chuckled.

“He’s sleeping alone on the daybed,” Gemma said for the umpteenth time, looking at Dana with excitement. “Maybe he really meant what he said, about wanting us to try again.”

Dana nodded slowly, eyeing her friend warily. She wanted Gemma to be happy, of course, but this wasn’t a cut-and-dry situation. 

“Okay,” she said cautiously. “So, best case scenario is he comes back single. Do you think you’ll be ready to take him back?” 

Gemma looked back down at the postcard, a warmth spreading from her chest and throughout her entire body. Suresh was sleeping peacefully on his back, his chiseled body only partially covered by the duvet. One of his arms was bent behind his head, one leg poking out from the covers, nearly hanging off the side. She imagined herself back in those arms, lying next to his warm body again. 

Gemma opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She closed it and tried again. “If he comes back single…” She made a noise, like a groan and a sigh wrapped into one. Saying it out loud would make it real. She wouldn’t be able to pretend anymore. She wouldn’t be able to lie, to say she was fine when she really wasn’t, because someone else would know.

“Yes,” she managed to croak out, staring at the postcard. She couldn’t look at Dana as she spoke, opening her heart knowing she could potentially get hurt again and she wouldn’t be able to fake her way out of it. “Yes. If he comes back single, and still wants to make it work like he said, then I’m ready to give him a chance again.”

“Are you sure, Gem?” Dana pressed, placing her hand on Gemma’s knee. “Could you fully trust him again, truly?”

Gemma finally looked up at her, holding her gaze. “I already do,” she admitted. “I hate to admit it, but I do trust him again. He’s shown a different side lately, I really think he’s changed. And besides–” She nearly choked on the lump in her throat and took a deep breath. Her hands were shaking and she gripped the postcard tighter, memories flooding her mind. “I can’t not try, you know? It’s Suresh.”

The screen faded to black and the silence was deafening. Suresh looked over at Gemma, and for the second time today, the electric charge between them once again ignited a fire. 

“Gem–” 

“Not now, Suresh. Not  here.” Her eyes pleaded with him to let it go for now. She avoided Nicolas’ glare as she took a big gulp of her wine and continued looking straight ahead. She couldn’t talk about her feelings for him here, not in front of everyone. She’d take him aside after the challenge and speak to him privately. She couldn’t avoid it now. 

“Well at least they’re not all bad,” Dana muttered under her breath. 

Suresh kept glancing at Gemma, hoping she would look at him, but she continued to stare at the screen. He ran his large fingers through his hair as the next text came through. 

“Let’s get on with it then, I’ve got the next question,” Lulu said. “To the nearest hour, how long did the longest kiss without a break reportedly last for?”

“I’ve read this! It was fifty nine hours,” Meera said. 

“Without a break? There’s no way! How did they eat and sleep?” Kat chimed in. 

“No, trust me! I literally read this article before I got here,” Meera said. 

“Okay. Send it, Gabi,” Gemma said. 

*TEXT PING* 

“Girls win! The answer was fifty nine hours!” Gabi cheered. “Good on you Meera!” 

“Which one do you girls want? Gemma, should we go for ‘The Sure-shank Redemption’?” Dana asked. 

“I’d like to see that one,” Gabi chimed in. 

“I really want to see Alfie’s movie but I can’t tell which one he is,” Meera whined. 

“Then we can figure that out on our next win,” Gabi said. “We’re going with ‘The Sure-shank Redemption’.” 

Suresh came to life on the screen, slumped over a fruit bowl in the Casa Amor kitchen. He was rearranging them until he found the orange he was looking for. 

“Why the long face?” Eddie asked. 

Suresh sighed and looked around to see if anyone else was within earshot of them. When he deemed the coast clear he whispered, “I’ve just been having a really hard time here. I know you boys all said I should forget about Gemma, that she didn’t give me a response before I left and that that in and of itself is a response, but mate I miss her so much.” 

“What about Lulu? You’ve been chirpsing away all day with her.” 

“Lulu is great. She’s nice and all, but there is absolutely no spark. And the only person on my mind is Gemma.” He sighed, picking at the sticker on the orange. “I actually hate that I have to pretend to graft, right now.” 

“Why are you pretending to graft? Why don’t you just go back single and tell Gemma how you feel?” 

“Because what if it’s a scenario where one of us will get dumped if the other twists. I’m coupled with Arlo right now and I have no faith that she won’t twist. She knows Gemma and I kissed before Casa, so she’s gotta be fuming.” 

“Fair point.” 

“I just wish I didn’t have to hurt Lulu or string her along in the process.” 

He doesn’t want Lulu. Gemma stared at the now-black screen with renewed confusion. He’s only ever wanted me. 

“Well, at least now it makes sense why you dumped me this afternoon,” Lulu stated. 

“Lulu…” Suresh said nervously. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” 

Gemma finally dared to look over at Suresh, and without saying anything they both instantly understood each other. There was still an undeniable spark between them and apparently neither one of them were ready to let it go. 

*TEXT PING* 

“Alright girls, here we go,” Meera said, breaking the silence. “What percentage of women fantasize about other men during sex with their partners?” 

A chorus of ‘I’ve done it’s’ started as most of the  girls admitted to having done it.

“So what are we thinking, then? I think about 45%. Is everyone happy with that?” Dana asked. 

“Yes! And I get my Alfie movie if we’re right, right?” Meera asked. 

“Yes, babe. You’ll just have to decide between the last two because it was unclear which one was his or Nic’s,” Gemma said. 

 *TEXT PING* 

“Girls win! The answer was 46%!” Meera beamed. “Dana, you smashed it!” She  looked at the screen, trying to decipher the title to figure out which of the remaining two movies belonged to Alfie. 

“It can’t be The Fast & The Furious because that’s probably a sex thing and that is definitely not Alfie.” She  winked at him. “We’re going to go with The Disaster Artist.” 

The screen showed Nicolas pacing back and forth on the rooftop while Pete and Johnny sat on the bench, watching him. 

“What’s the game plan boys?” Nicolas asked excitedly. 

“Game plan?” Johnny looked at Pete with a confused look. 

“Yeah, what are you on about, Nic?” Pete asked. 

“Come on! You can’t tell me that you two came in here with no game plan? We’ve had the opportunity to watch these girls for weeks and you guys are just squandering it away?” 

“I just don’t look at this as a game,” Pete said. “I like Arlo and I have a connection with her, so I’m going to explore that.” 

“Same for me,” said Johnny. “I like Dana and Gemma. But I don’t know either of them well enough to say who I have a better connection with.” 

“First off, you’re wasting your time on Dana. She’s been on Gabi’s ass since she turned up in the villa, which is weird if you ask me since Gemma is supposed to be her ‘bestie’,” he sneered. “I’d say focus on Kat, just play up that Finn is definitely cheating on her.” 

“Why Kat? She’s not really my type,” Johnny said. 

“You can’t have Gemma, she’s mine. I’ve had my sights set on her since she walked in the villa.” 

“So you like Gemma then?” Johnny asked. 

“What does it matter if I like her or not?” Nicolas laughed before continuing. “We just need someone desperate and lonely enough to convince that they should bring us back. I’ve been studying Suresh, I know his mannerisms. I’m just gonna copy the bloke and have her eating out of my hand.” 

“I don’t like this plan, mate. Gemma’s a great girl, she doesn’t deserve this,” Johnny tried. 

“I look at it as me doing her a favor. She’s damaged goods right now. First Suresh pies her off for Arlo, then Alfie kisses Kat. Who's going to come in now and want to deal with that? And besides, now she doesn’t have to go back to her shitty, cheating ex and she can be with a real man for once.” 

Gemma felt her skin burning, her jaw hurt from clenching her teeth so hard. She turned and looked at Nicolas with venom in her eyes and wished she could strike him with a blow so hard that it would send him straight back to Coventry. 

“Desperate and lonely?” she snarled. “Damaged goods?”

“Gemma…” Nicolas held up his hands palm-up, fighting to keep his voice as calm as possible. “This  is completely out of context, it’s bad editing. I didn’t say half of those things in that way, you have to believe me.” 

“FUCK. YOU. Nicolas. And if it wasn’t clear we’re fucking done. Don’t you dare try to come and talk to me after this.” 

“Gem-” 

“She said she’s fucking done mate,” Suresh barked, nearly getting up from his chair. “Get it through your thick head before I help you understand.” 

“This isn’t about you!” Nicolas snapped back. 

Suresh stood up from his chair abruptly, nearly knocking over the table, and glared at Nicolas. Alfie stood up quickly to block him. 

“It’s calm, it’s calm,” he said with both hands on Suresh’s shoulders, trying to get him to focus on him and sit back down. Gemma acted more on instinct than sense as she hurried over to the boys, pushing herself in between the two men. Her hands replaced Alfie’s on Suresh’s heaving chest. His nostrils were flared, his body rigid.

“Resh, look at me,” she said. His eyes flickered down to her, then returned to Nicolas who was standing behind Alfie, practically hiding. 

“He’s not worth it. Sit down, please,” she begged, and he looked back down at her. His eyes searched her face, brows creasing as he did. She pushed his chest softly, so he took a deep breath and nodded.

“Fine,” he said, ticking his jaw. “For you.”

He gave Nicolas another glare, but did as Gemma asked and sat down. As he watched her make her way back to the girls’ table, his hand twitched. He wanted so badly to just reach out and pull her back, to kiss her and hold her, to just have her back in his arms. 

 *TEXT PING* 

“Let’s just move on, it looks like this is our last one,” Dana said, then proceeded to read the text. “How long does the average female orgasm last?” 

“This will be embarrassing if we don’t get this one, girls,” Lulu said. 

“I don’t know, like ten seconds?” Meera said. 

“I don’t actually sit there and time my orgasms out,” Kat snorted. 

“It’s gotta be more than ten seconds, I think maybe fifteen,” Gabi suggested. 

“Okay, we’ll  go with fifteen.” Dana typed out and sent in their answer. 

 *TEXT PING* 

“Boys win!” Finn whooped. “The answer was twenty seconds.” He gave the girls a suggestive wink, then looked up at the titles on the screen. “I think we’re just going to pick this one at random and go with ‘The Wedding Planner’.” 

Meera eyed Alfie suspiciously. “Alf, you didn’t want to watch ‘There’s Something About Meera’?” 

“Have you seen these movies?” Alfie asked, shaking his head. “No, I’ll stay away from the drama, thank you very much.” 

Meera huffed as she crossed her arms and turned to watch the screen come to life with the next movie. 

Gabi sat on the roof terrace, hugging her knees and stifling her tears, when Nicolas walked in. 

“Gab, babe. Why are you so upset? Was it your chat with Gemma?” 

She looked up at him with tears streaming down her face and nodded. 

“But it’s not just my chat with her.  Everyone here looks at me like I’m some homewrecking slut. And I’m not! What I had with Suresh was real.” 

“I’m sure it was babe,” he said soothingly as he sat down next to her. “After all, he left her for you, right?” 

“Exactly!” Gabi exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air. “I didn’t even know about Gemma when we were together. He never mentioned her until the tailend of our relationship. And even then he never told me he cheated with me.” 

“It’s not right that he put you through that,” Nic said, placing a hand on her back, rubbing it softly. 

“No, it’s not! And we might not have been together as long as he and Gemma were, but I know he was absolutely crazy about me. He only had eyes for me the whole time we were together and I am tired of being made out to be some dirty little secret,” she scoffed. “What he and I had, you can’t fake that. If Suresh were here right now with the two of us in his face, I know he’d pick me over her and that’s what makes me so mad! Because if anything, she  was the other woman!” 

Nicolas hugged her close, stroking her hair as she continued. 

“She needed to propose to him to get him to commit to her. But I know for a fact he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.”  

“How do you know that for sure,” Nicolas asked, eyeing her skeptically.  

“Because I found a ring,” she said. “He was going to propose to me, not her. ME!”

Gemma can't seem to get her mind off Suresh as he heads out on a date with Lulu. Her past and present collide as she reminisces about a special date from their past.

HUGE THANK YOU AGAIN TO MY QUEENS @katsie and @0shewrites0 who I would truly be lost without. And if the smut section is better u can thank kat for that 💖🥵

He doesn’t love me, why am I making this harder for myself? 

She couldn't keep the negative thoughts from swirling around in her head as Suresh and Lulu left the villa for their first date. 

First of many…

“Babe, at least try to pretend to look like you don’t care,” Dana whispered, her voice cutting through Gemma’s negative thoughts. 

“What do you mean? I don’t care,” Gemma said, fiddling with a loose thread on the brightly colored bean bags the girls were sitting on. 

Dana rolled her eyes and leaned in closer. “You can pretend with everyone else, but I know you wanted to couple up with him before Casa. So tell me…how are you really feeling?” 

Gemma sighed and kept her eyes locked on the loose thread, pulling and tugging at it anxiously. 

“I-I’m fine. Suresh made his choice. And it doesn’t matter what I wanted before Casa, all that matters is where we’re at now. He chose Lulu and I chose Nicolas.” The lies clumsily tumbled out of her mouth. She’d tried to convince herself that if she repeated it enough times to enough people she’d start to believe them as well. 

“But babe -” 

“But nothing. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.” Gemma stood up resolutely and headed towards the kitchen to fill up her almost full water bottle. Being on Love Island was an opportunity of a lifetime, she knew she was so lucky to be here but she didn’t feel lucky. She just wanted to be back in Edinburgh, somewhere familiar where people knew her and didn’t judge or comment on every move she made. She stopped at the expansive kitchen island and placed her palms on the cool marble counter, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 

I just wish I were home…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Gemma nervously adjusted her dress with her one free hand and balanced a bottle of wine and her purse in the other. She sighed deeply, hoping to shake out some of the nerves she felt, or at the very least quiet the butterflies going berserk in her stomach. She pressed down on the doorbell with her perfectly manicured nail and waited. She could hear his footsteps as he approached the door, clicking the lock to unlock it, and then he swung it open with a massive smile on his face. 

“Hey there, beautiful,” Suresh said, his eyes raking over her body as he stepped aside to let her into his apartment. “Perfect timing. Dinner is almost ready.” 

“It smells amazing in here, what are you making?” she raved, but before he volunteered an answer his arm snaked around her waist and he pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips with his. He felt her body melding into his as he deepened the kiss, softly tugging on her hair while she let out a soft moan. A loud timer rang out in the kitchen, interrupting their kiss. 

He pulled away slowly, resting his forehead on hers and looked into her eyes. 

“Hold that thought.” 

Gemma groaned, feigning annoyance, but smiled back up at him. 

“Fine.” She sighed. “This is for you.” She held out the bottle of wine. 

He took the wine and her hand in his, leading her into the kitchen to turn off the timer. Gemma sat on a stool on the kitchen island, watching him as he moved about the kitchen with ease. He looked so comfortable, so relaxed, so happy. Was she fooling herself to think he was just as happy as she was? She had never been one to fall hard and fast, but five dates in and she felt like absolute putty around him. She couldn’t wipe the stupid, giddy grin off her face when she thought of him. She’d never been this nervous with anyone else she had dated previously. This feeling - the tightness in her chest, the butterflies in her stomach - she had never experienced it this intensely. She cursed her brain for even offering up the "L"-word, it was way too early for that. But there was something there, and she knew she was falling for him hard. 

“Can I help you with anything?” she asked, restraining from resting her head in her hands and gawking at him as he moved around effortlessly, looking like a Greek God. 

“Why don’t you pour us some wine? Maybe the red,” he suggested before spinning around and grinning. “I’m making bolognese. A little birdie told me it was your favorite.” 

She looked up at him with a knowing look and he smirked at her. 

“I’ve never been referred to as a ‘little birdie’ before, but I’ll gladly accept it. Especially if it means I’ll get all of my favorite things.” She slid off the bar stool and got the bottle of red from the wine rack, placing it on the island. Then she walked past him, making sure she was close enough that her hip brushed against him as she passed. “Here?” she asked innocently as she stopped right next to him, opening the cabinet door to retrieve two wine glasses. She pretended not to notice how his eyes wandered, heat blooming in her core. Pouring them both a glass, she handed one of them to him, their fingers brushing against each other as the glass traded hands.

“Cheers,” they said in unison, maintaining eye contact as they took a sip. 

“Fuck, Gem, you look so good in that dress.” His eyes couldn’t decide where to look; her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips, the faint outline of her ass. He made an involuntary sound in the back of his throat, prompting her to smirk. 

“You should see how good I look underneath it,” she purred, biting down lightly on her bottom lip. His eyes widened slightly at the insinuation, his pants suddenly felt a bit tight. His free hand flexed as he tried to calm himself down. He had contemplated  this night for a long time, he had a plan. And he was going to follow the plan, be a gentleman, because he really liked her and he didn’t want to fuck this up. But god, she looked so good. She took a single step towards him and he shifted slightly, eyes boring into hers. 

“You’re not making this easy for me,” he said, his voice gruffer than it had been a few seconds ago.

“I’m not sure I understand,” she answered, giving a light shrug and staring up at him through her lashes. He cocked a brow.

“I had a plan for how this was going to go,” he said firmly.

She smirked. “Things don’t always go how we planned.” 

“I’m trying to be a gentleman,” he insisted.

“Who said I wanted a gentleman?”

Something within him lit on fire and in a split second he put down his glass and closed the space between them, crashing his lips onto hers. She pressed back into him and he took the glass from her hands, pushed her back until she was pinned between the counter and his arousal. She moaned into his mouth. He put the glass down, then in one swift movement he lifted her onto the marble countertop and with gentle pressure spread her legs so he could step in between them. The kiss was as hungry as they should’ve felt, with the untouched food still on the stovetop. His hands desperately explored her body through her thin silky dress, she shuddered when he reached her breasts and teased her nipples through the fabric. Even as she shimmied her arms out of the thin straps of her dress, exposing her full breasts to him, she found it hard to let go of his lips. Wanting more of him, she wrapped her legs around his waist. She couldn’t stifle the moans when his lips trailed kisses down her body, reaching her breasts and taking one in his mouth while he expertly teased her nipple with his tongue. He moved his hand down her taut stomach, the sensation causing her to arch her back in desire, knowing what was to come. He lifted her slightly, hooking a finger in the waistband of her underwear and pulling them down, exposing her further.  

“Reshhh…” Her voice came out as a breathy gasp. “Fuck me, baby. Please.” 

He moved to her neck, biting and licking, enjoying how she seemed to melt under his touch. He moved his hands slowly up her legs, onto her thighs, pushing up her dress as he went. His fingers twitched knowing how close they were to her center, and from her moans and her writhing, he knew she was wet. Wet for him. 

“Since you asked so nicely…” he teased, lifted her off the counter and started to unbutton his pants. She moved closer and kissed his chin, his neck, the hollow of his throat. Her hand stroked him through his underwear, but nothing could prepare her for the sheer size of him.

“Turn around.” His low, husky voice, thick with desire, made her do exactly as he demanded. She bent over slightly, palms firmly planted on the marble countertops, and wiggled her ass at him. He grabbed one of her ass cheeks and squeezed it hard, making her hum in approval. 

Then he eased himself into her at an agonizingly slow pace, not wanting to overwhelm her. Gemma let out a loud moan and turned back to look at him, her eyes dark with lust. 

“I can take it, baby. Faster.” 

He thrust into her harder this time, eliciting an even louder groan from Gemma. Grabbing onto her waist, he fused their bodies together, plunging deeper than he had before. 

“F-fuck Resh…”

Maintaining his steady rhythm, his lips descended onto her neck, and she mewled uncontrollably as her walls started to tighten around him. He snaked an arm around her and down between her legs, flicking her sensitive bud. She clenched around him as she gasped.

“Cum for me, G.” 

She lost all control of her body as she reached the paralyzing moment of ecstasy and released a loud moan. He wasn’t far behind her, and after a couple more thrusts he shuddered into her, burying his face in her neck as he groaned. She could barely stand, her legs feeling more like jello than limbs, but he held her tight to his chest, keeping her balanced. As they both attempted to catch their breaths, sweat dripping down their chests, she turned around to gaze at him. She moved to wrap her arms around his neck, pressing her lips to his gently.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey beautiful, there you are,” Nicolas said, coming up from behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. 

Gemma’s breathing hitched as she felt his arms tighten around her and she flinched at his touch. Her memories washed away as quickly as they had come. 

Nicolas looked at her with concern. “You ok? You were just staring off into space there for a while.” 

“Yes!” She lied. “Why don’t we head down to the pool? I’m boiling up!” Before he could ask any follow up questions she turned around and shot him a big fake smile. Then she took his hand and led him over to the pool. 

They were still in the pool chatting, when Suresh and Lulu walked back into the villa an hour later, both beaming. 

“They’re back!” Kat squealed as she ran over to a surprised Lulu, grabbing her by the hand and leading her to the swings. “Girls! Come join us! I want all the goss from their date.” 

“Looks like I’m being summoned…” Gemma restrained from groaning out loud. “I’ll see you in a bit.” She gave Nicolas a small peck on the cheek and got out of the pool, water dripping everywhere. As she quickly toweled off she noticed Suresh, eyeing her from the firepit. She quickly wrapped herself up in the towel and headed to the swings.

“Ok, tell us everything.” Kat burst out, clapping her hands together excitedly. “Where did you guys go? What did you do? Any love vibes?” 

“Kat, relax! Let her answer one question before you bombard her with ten more,” Dana rolled her eyes. 

“Oh, where to start? We went on this lovely picnic on this really gorgeous property. We could actually see the sea from where we were, it was stunning…” Lulu continued on about how fun her date was and how she could see herself falling for Suresh, but Gemma tuned it out. She couldn’t make herself listen to it. 

Deja vu…

She pretended to care about what Lulu was saying, nodding and smiling weakly when she noticed the girls giggling or teasing her. 

*TEXT PING* 

Thank God. Anything to end this convo. 

“I’ve got a text!” Arlo shouted happily and waited for the boys to walk over to the swings before she started reading it. 

Islanders, tonight each couple must vote for who they think is the least compatible couple. The couple with the most votes will be going home. #PowerFailCouple #TwoForTheRoad

Arlo jumped up from her seat and wrapped her arms around Pete. “Me and Pete have nothing to worry about,” she said smugly. 

Copying her exact move, Kat got up and hugged Finn. “Same here. Right, Finn?” 

Finn just looked at Kat and smiled, nodding his head and hugging her closer. 

“I’m feeling confident. Alfie and I proved how we got on in Casa Amor,” Meera said. “Even though we haven’t been together as long as some people here. I’m totally sold on us as a couple.”

“And hopefully you lot are too!” Alfie added. 

“Bring it on! If this date proves anything it’s that Suresh and I are compatible to the max,” Lulu gushed. Suresh looked at her and smiled awkwardly, gazing over at Gemma who quickly looked away. 

“I think it’s a bit weird to have to announce your compatibility with someone. Seems forced.” Nicolas shrugged his shoulders and looked over at Gemma. “I never have to do that with Gemma and I know you can all clearly see how compatible we are,” he said smugly, looking pleased with himself as he walked over to her and took her hand in his. “Now if you’ll excuse us, my lady and I are going to get ready for tonight. I advise you all to do the same rather than trying to prove how compatible you are.”  

They walked off together into the villa to get ready for the night ahead. 

Gemma found herself alone in the dressing room, the others still outside. She stared back at her reflection, smoothing her hair out as thoughts of what the night might bring flooded her mind. 

Are Lulu and Suresh even compatible? Gemma asked herself. Lulu sure seems to think so. 

Dana came rushing into the dressing room, interrupting her thoughts. 

“You’re going to die when you hear this,” she panted, unable to hide the huge grin on her face. 

“What is it?” Gemma asked impatiently. 

“OK, literally seconds after you and Nic came up to get ready, Pete agreed with what Nic said, but then started going off about ‘types’ and well, apparently there’s someone else in the villa that he finds to be way more his type on paper.” 

“Shut up, who?” 

“LULU!” Dana squealed. 

“What?” Gemma gasped, her eyes wide. 

“Yes, and it kicked off with Arlo and Pete, it was a whole thing. At least they made everyone’s job easier tonight.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Well, we can all vote for Arlo and Pete now, it’s clear they’re not compatible if he’s trying to be with someone else, right?” 

Gemma looked at her reflection and considered this. Surely that wasn’t how we were judging compatibility? But she didn’t care as long as she was safe. 

And Suresh would be safe too. Suresh…and Lulu. 

After getting ready for what lay ahead, the islanders were in the kitchen making drinks and chatting about the compatibility vote ahead of them. Gemma noticed Arlo and Meera whispering in a corner, frequently and not very subtly looking right at her. 

*TEXT PING* 

“I’ve got a text,” Gemma said, less enthusiastically than she probably should have. The islanders gathered around her as she read it out.

Islanders in your couples please vote on who you think is the least compatible couple. The couple with the most votes will be dumped from the island. 

“Well, looks like we’ve got to go make a tough decision, beautiful.” Nicolas moved closer to Gemma, putting his hand on the small of her back, guiding her away from the other islanders. She wasn’t sure why, but it was really starting to annoy her when he called her ‘beautiful’.

They found a secluded spot away from everyone else and Nicolas took out his phone. 

“I feel like this is an easy one tonight,” Nicolas smirked. “It’s obviously Suresh and Lulu.” 

“What?! NO!” Gemma shrieked, her tone giving away more than she intended. Nicolas eyed her warily. “It’s just, she told us how amazing her date was, they clearly had a good time. Why would we vote them out?” 

“I think they’re faking it. At least Suresh is,” he said matter of factly.  

Could he be faking it? 

“I don’t think so. I’d know if Suresh was faking it. And besides, didn't you hear what happened with Arlo and Pete?” 

He looked at her confused. “No, what happened?” 

“He said that he wanted to recouple with Lulu. Apparently they had a big blow up out on the lawn, we missed it when we went inside. I’m pretty sure everyone’s voting for them.” He still looked unconvinced so she continued, “I also noticed Meera and Arlo plotting in the kitchen just now, I think they’ll throw us in to split the vote. Voting for Suresh and Lulu would be a burn vote, so we need to vote for Arlo and Pete to be safe.” 

“Fair point. Alright, then let’s send the text.” 

Gemma took out her phone and quickly typed ‘Arlo and Pete’, tapping the send icon before Nicolas had a chance to change his mind. 

“Let’s head to the firepit, then?” she suggested. 

As they walked towards the fire pit, Gemma saw Suresh and Lulu out of the corner of her eye. They were making their way over as well.

Does he look…nervous? I guess they haven’t been coupled up for very long, but no one here has, except for Kat and Finn. 

Suresh glanced in Gemma’s direction. Nicolas noticed this and slipped an arm around her waist, kissing her cheek. 

As the islanders all gathered around the firepit, one by one they received texts to confirm they were not in the bottom and were therefore safe, until only Dana and Gabi as well as Pete and Arlo remained. 

Gemma’s eyes flitted between Dana and Gabi. She wasn’t surprised they were at the bottom with Gabi desperately trying to rekindle what she’d had with Suresh the second they got back from Casa.

Even though he rejected her, that can’t bode well for hers and Dana’s compatibility.

A loud ping cut through her thoughts, bringing her back. Lulu opened the text, then looked at the bottom four. 

“The couple safe tonight and continuing their journey is…Dana and Gabi. I’m sorry Pete and Arlo,” she said solemnly. 

*Text Ping* 

This time Arlo picked up her phone and stared at the text. “Arlo and Pete, you have been voted least compatible by your fellow islanders and are therefore dumped. Please pack your things and get ready to leave the villa.” 

Arlo gasped and looked at Pete in shock. 

“I-I can’t believe this,” she stammered. 

“Yeah, is this some kind of sick joke?” He looked at Nicolas annoyed, as if they had planned to save one another. Nicolas shrugged and held Gemma tighter. 

“Arlo and I might’ve gotten into a little argument today but we’re way more compatible than the whole lot of you,” Pete growled before he stormed into the villa with Arlo closely following behind. 

“Pete! Come on, don't be like that!” Alfie tried. 

But Pete ignored him and kept walking. 

“We should still go help them pack, it’s been a long day,” Finn pointed out.

“Come on, let’s go!” Nicolas said. They all went inside to help out, but Gemma couldn’t bring herself to care about Arlo and Pete leaving. Why should she? Arlo had never been nice to her, and she didn’t really know Pete. Instead she dreamt about being back in Edinburgh for the second time that day. Back in the comfort of her own home, free of islanders constantly milling around her. 

I just wish I were home…

Always Been You

The Casa Amor Reunion Story - MC POV 🔥💞 (NC-17)

Special shout out to ❤️  @tjsmommy719​ ❤️who let me pick her brain A LOT and even contributed on Arlo’s speech as well! And was overall a huge help to me on this one. 

Few notes…

I know I’ve given you guys a lot of spoilers, and I did use real names of future islanders, but the recoupling decisions are purely headcanon! I would scream if these were the actual couplings, but I just picked who I thought looked good together from the pictures.

Secondly, this was my first entryway into smut so please if it sucks just be nice 😫😫😫

And as always tagging my Suresh Fic Lovers: @squishy-noodles​ @kunepie​ @hi-im-karla​ @fujiihime​

Gemma groaned as she tossed and turned on the daybeds. The sheets were a necessary evil to ward off the mosquitos, but it was getting too hot under the morning heat of the Mallorcan sun. She turned over and ran her fingers across the other side of her empty bed. She imagined what it would be like to see Suresh on the other side of that bed again. For the better part of the last three days, she thought of nothing other than their last conversation.

“And I’m not sure If you’re ready, but I am,” he said.

“Ready for what?” she said.

“To move past everything. My mistakes. Your mistakes. Our past. I’ve lived with you and without you. And being without you doesn’t even compare. I want the wild, fun life that we used to have together. I know now that you’re the only girl for me.” He said.

I know that you’re the only girl for me.

“GEMMA!” Dana’s voice interrupting Gemma’s Suresh filled daydreams.

Gemma sat up in her bed and watched as Dana ran at full speed towards the daybeds. “I’ve got a text! I’ve got a text! I’ve got a text!”

Behind her Kat and Arlo, who were trying to keep up, were failing miserably.

“Wait for us! Obviously, this affects us too! It’s not our fault she’s sleeping with the mozzies!” said Kat.

Arlo snickered.

“Lay off it, will ya,” said Dana. “Let me read the text.”

GIRLS THIS AFTERNOON, THE BOYS WILL BE RETURNING FROM CASA AMOR. YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO EITHER STICK TO THE BOYS YOU WERE ORIGINALLY COUPLED UP WITH OR SWITCH TO THE NEW BOYS YOU MET AT CASA AMOR #StickOrSwitch”

“I’ve got first shower!” And before anyone could say anything else, Gemma bolted up the stairs to the shower. This day was too important to her, and she wasn’t getting stuck behind Kat, who she knew would take her sweet time today.

After her shower, still wrapped up in her towel and a robe, Gemma went to the roof terrace to air dry her hair and to collect her thoughts. She knew exactly what she was going to be wearing tonight, she knew exactly how she would style her hair and how she would do her makeup. But she realized she had no idea what Suresh was going to do tonight.

What if he changed his mind? What if not seeing me these last three days made him realize he can move on without me? What if there’s someone at Casa Amor that he gets on better with?

Her mind was going into a tailspin of worry and despair when Dana walked out into the roof terrace.

“There you are! We were wondering where you were hiding.”

“I’m not hiding.” Gemma said looking away to keep the tears, that were starting to well up in her eyes, from falling.

“Gem, Are you ok?”

“What if he’s not waiting for me, Dana? I don’t think I can go through this heartbreak a second time.”

“Babe, no!” She said as grabbed Gemma into a warm embrace. “Of course, he’s waiting for you! He’s crazy about you! What did you say, he said ‘I know where my head’s at.’ Three days isn’t going to change that. No one is turning his head from you.”

“How can you be so sure?”

Dana sighed deeply and looked into Gemma’s eyes. “Gemma, even from my very first chat with Suresh he’s always been 100% about you. Even him choosing Arlo was a choice he made that centered around you. I know you’re not coupled up, so you won’t get to say you choose each other officially tonight, but unofficially I know there’s no one else he’d rather choose. Now let’s go get ready, can’t have you unofficially choosing your man with sopping wet hair.”

---  

“Girls we all look absolutely stunning tonight if I do say so myself. Whoever we choose old boys, new boys, well they better thank their lucky stars!” Kat said beaming as she gave the girls a once over.

“Look I don’t want us to get emotional but I’m really proud of us all. I really think we’ve made ourselves proud. Especially you Gemma,” Dana said smiling at Gemma.

Text ping is heard.

GIRLS, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE FIRE PIT IMMEDIATELY. YOUR DECISION AWAITS. WILL YOU STICK OR SWITCH?

Gemma and the girls all look at each other and take a collective deep breath. “Let’s go girls.”

The girls all sit at the iconic fire pit. Everyone is spaced out a few apart, to make room for the boys and potentially new girls. Gemma knows that the recoupling order in a Casa Amor reunion matters more than anything else. And being last practically seals your fate for an upset. Arlo and Suresh weren’t in a committed coupling, he’d been flirting with Gemma for the greater part of their time together. And as of late it had gotten even more blatant and more frequent. So, the only Casa “upset” would be for Gemma. All she wanted was for Arlo and Suresh to be called first or second. She didn’t particularly care what order her couple was called because she knew at the end of the day she wanted to be with Suresh. 

Suresh just don’t be last. The upsets are always last.

A text ping is heard.

Please be Arlo’s. Please be Arlo’s.

GIRLS, IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE. IN TURN, PLEASE SAY WHETHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO STICK WITH THE PERSON YOU’RE COUPLED UP WITH, OR SWITCH TO ONE OF THE BOYS IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAVE ASKED THE BOYS TO DO THE SAME. IF YOU BOTH STICK, YOU WILL REMAIN IN YOUR COUPLES. IF YOU BOTH SWITCH, YOU WILL STAY IN THE VILLA IN YOUR NEW COUPLES. IF ONE OF YOU SWITCHES AND THE OTHER STICKS, THE PERSON WHO STUCK WILL BE LEFT SINGLE.

Dana’s phone pings first. Dana stands with an excited look on her face.

She takes a breath. “For the first time I’m actually not dreading one of these tonight. I’m actually happy that the choice I make is one that I know I’m happy with. The boy I’m choosing tonight is an absolute sort, he’s got bants AND abs for days and he’s the first person I can see myself truly leaving this villa with. So, the boy I want to couple up with tonight is… Jonny.

The girls all applaud as Jonny wraps Dana up in a tender hug and kiss.

Everyone’s eyes turn to look at the long floral walkway to catch an early glimpse to see if Eddie is alone or if he has a new companion.

Eddie walks out confidently but his face soon falls when he sees Jonny next to Dana. He musters a small smile. 

“Congrats Dana. I couldn’t find anyone near as special as you in Casa Amor.” With that he walks over to Johnny to greet him and takes his seat. The look of shock has now turned into anger, and he glares at the new happy couple who seem completely unaware and unfazed.

A text ping is heard.

Kat stands up.

KAT?! She literally tried to hook up with Pete the first night, but Arlo beat her to it. OMG if Kat’s second does that mean that BOTH boys recoupled?

“Ok girls, you know this one is easy for me. Casa Boys I love you all. You are all the amazing boys, but my heart is with a certain Irish lad. We both made mistakes before Casa Amor and I think if we can look past them, we can be stronger for it. So, the boy I want to couple up with tonight is…Finn.”

The girls beam at Kat, and everyone looks over to see Finn walking in alone, smiling.

“Kat, I know the way we left things weren’t the best, but you’re the only girl I see myself with. I want this to work so let’s jump back in, slowly.”

“I can do that,” she says smiling up at him.

He takes her hand and kisses the back of her hand, and they take their seats next to Dana and Jonny.

Arlo next. Arlo next. Arlo next.

A text ping is heard.

“Babe it’s yours,” Arlo says looking at Gemma with worried eyes.

The upsets are always last.

Gemma stands up nervous and breathes in deep.

“You got this, babe!” Dana says.

Gemma looks at her and smiles. Gemma looks over at the floral walkway knowing that in minutes she’ll be seeing Suresh.

“I walked into this villa on day one thinking I was going to have the summer of my life. I was going to make new friends and maybe even find love again. What I didn’t expect was to be confronted by my past at every turn. I’ve had to face every past mistake, every lesson I’ve learned along the way, and I’ve had to confront some emotions I’ve had buried deep inside. Feelings I’ve had buried deep inside. Tonight, I can’t be with the person I want to choose because he’s coupled with someone else, but I hope he will make the same decision and choose me too. So, tonight I will be sticking with Alfie.

The girls all applaud. For the first time the girls hear the tell-tale sign of heels clicking on the walkway.

“Hey guys! This is Lulu!” Alfie said happily.

“Heya gang! So excited to be here!” Lulu said excitedly.

Gemma smiled wide at Alfie and walked over to hug him.

“I’m genuinely so happy for you, Alf.”

“Thanks, Gem.”

The three of them take their seat at the firepit and Gemma’s happiness for Alfie suddenly turns into worry for her. Her heart suddenly feels too big for her chest.

A text ping is heard.

Gemma now hated that stupid text ping. Why was he last?

The upsets are always last.

Arlo stands up.

“Before the boys left for Casa Amor, the person I was coupled up with had his head and heart with someone else. He couldn’t appreciate what a catch I know I am, but I’ve found someone at Casa that does. So, tonight the boy I’m choosing to couple up with is…Pete.

Pete walks over to Arlo, and they share a quick, tender kiss. Everyone’s eyes dart to the floral walkway.

Where is he? Did everyone else take this long to walk out?

Gemma bites down on her lip and then he finally walks out into view. It takes Suresh a second to find her but when he does, he locks eyes with her, smiles and lets out a sigh of relief that she’s still single.

Even when Arlo tried to introduce Pete to Suresh, he kept his gaze solely locked on Gemma.

“Hey man, pleasure to meet you. It’s great to be back,” Suresh said staring at Gemma and they couldn’t stop smiling at one another.

As the recoupling came to a close and the islanders said goodbye to the Casa Boys and Girls not chosen, Suresh walked over to Gemma and touched her arm gently.

“Can I pull you for a chat?”

He held out his hand, and he led the way to the roof terrace.  

Down below the islanders were enjoying getting to know the new people and reuniting with one another.

Gemma and Suresh sat close to one another, looking deeply into each other’s eyes.

“Gem, everything I said to you before we left for Casa still stands. You are and will forever be the only girl for me. I can’t change the past and what I’ve done but I can do everything to make mine and your future better. I’ve lost you once and it’s changed me forever. I will never do anything to ever risk losing you again. Please give me that chance, Gems,” Suresh looks at Gemma pleadingly.

Tears start to well up in her eyes and she smiles, “Resh, it’s always been you for me. What you did truly broke me, it broke us. And it’s something that if you ever did again, we would never recover. But I believe you that it was a one-time mistake and that it won’t happen again. I’ve tried to pretend that my feelings for you are gone and that I’m over you, but I’m not Suresh. I’m not over you and I don’t ever want to be.”

“Gemma...” 

Suresh smiled wide and closed the small distance between him and Gemma. This kiss was not like any other they’d ever share before. It was urgent, and full of passion but with a soft tenderness at times. Suresh tugged a handful of Gemma’s hair gently, while he kissed her passionately. It had been months since he had been able to explore Gemma’s body in this way, kiss her in this way, so he was going to take his time and enjoy every second of it.

Suresh unzipped Gemma’s dress revealing her naked breasts and black lacy thong. He brought his lips to her neck alternating between sucking on her breasts and kissing on her neck sensually. She let out a soft moan that made him burn with desire. He continued exploring her body and running his hand down her stomach finding her thong was soaked through, she was so wet for him. He pushed the lacy thong aside and slid two fingers inside. She softly moaned and tried to stifle it by biting down on his shoulder. He groaned softly enjoying her pleasure. He continued rhythmically playing with her clit while stroking her insides with his fingers.

“Resh, I’m so close…”

Suresh applied exactly the right amount of pressure and soon Gemma’s feet were curling under her, and her body was spasming. She let out a guttural moan that he stifles with his mouth as he kisses her.  

She started to stroke him over his trousers, he’s rock hard and still massive. Barely above a whisper, in a raspy voice Gemma said, “inside…me…now.” Her eyes pled with an urgency that Suresh wasted no time. He immediately started to undo his pants. As Gemma struggled to straddle Suresh at first due to his impressive size, she let out a raspy moan. They moved slow at first, but soon he gripped her thighs, and he was guiding her deeper and deeper. They moved in perfect tandem, their bodies coming together like magnets.  

Gemma’s breathing started to quicken and soon her whole body was shaking.

“Baby, I’m close.”

Suresh moved deeper and deeper, gyrating faster and faster. And soon Gemma lost control and they both finished together.

“Holy shit, Resh,” Gemma says breathless.

Suresh laughed and kissed her.

---

Suresh and Gemma head back downstairs hand in hand, flushed, to reunite with their fellow islanders. Everyone is in the kitchen chatting and when they see the two of them they erupt in applause.

“Alright then, are we an item?” Finn asked.

“Yes, Tell us then!” Dana said.

“Are we unofficially coupled up?” Kat asked.

Gemma and Suresh looked at each other and smile.

“We are back together,” Gemma said.

The islanders cheered.

Everything Has Changed - Suresh POV

This is for my Suresh girlies current and former…we had a really tough day yesterday. If you've read the leaks, pretend you haven't. Live in this world instead. It's nicer here. Lol

MC/Suresh are coupled up roughly a week after Casa Amor but a new islander threatens to shake up the villa… 

NC -17 

Tagging my Suresh girls who deserved better.

@future-mrs-suresh @squishy-noodles @hi-im-karla @fujihime-litg

@viperidae94

Suresh traced the outline of Gemma’s face first with his fingertips and then with his lips. With her eyes still closed she smiled and inched her body closer to him. 

“Mmm...That feels good,” she whispered. 

“So should we do something special for breakfast today?” he asked.

She looked up at him confused. 

“Wow, Gem. Does our one-week anniversary mean nothing to you?”

Suresh feigned a wounded expression as Gemma climbed on top of him and kissed him all over his face. His cheeks, his forehead, his nose, his chin, finally landing on his lips. Her tongue grazed his lips softly as he opened and met his tongue with hers. The kiss started off slow, languid, giving Suresh an opportunity to drift his hands all over Gemma’s body. He cupped her breasts, sensually caressing her nipple. Gemma let out a soft moan that drove Suresh wild. The kiss intensified and deepened to a point of no return. She was now slowly rocking back and forth on his leg, begging him to touch her, to enter her. He could feel a slick, slippery trail she was leaving behind on his leg. She was more than ready for him. 

“Resh…I need you,” she whispered. 

Suresh flipped Gemma on her back and used his knees to spread her legs open. Their bodies coming together like puzzle pieces. 

“Fuck…Resh…you feel so good,” she said digging her nails into his back.

Suresh thrust into her at a steady pace and began gently massaging her clit in tandem.

“Oh. My. God. Resh please…keep…doing…that,” she gasped. 

He drove into her a little bit faster, and her breathing started to quicken, her legs began to shake, and her walls clenched around him. 

“Resh…I’m c-” She moaned loudly and that pushed him over the edge. His whole body shuddered as he gasped for air. 

He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. 

“That was amazing, Resh.” 

“JESUS You two! It’s been every single day and every night. Give us one day’s break please!” Kat said. 

The other islanders chuckled. 

Gemma and Suresh looked at each other under the covers, both blushing and giggling. 

“Leave them be! You’re just jealous Kat!” said Dana. 

“Our sincerest apologies, if it makes any difference, we were consummating our one-week anniversary,” Suresh said smiling. 

“That’s not really a thing, guys.” Lulu said yawning, clearly tired from their early morning wake up call. 

“Maybe we can make up for it by cooking you lot breakfast this morning?” Gemma asked. 

“Now we’re talking, Gemma!” Alfie said excitedly. 

Since they’d found their way back to each other after Casa Amor a week ago, Gemma and Suresh had been inseparable. Because they weren’t coupled up before Casa, they had to wait for an official recoupling which had taken place about 5 days ago. 

“Let’s get dressed then babe,” Suresh said. 

---

By the time Gemma got outside Suresh had already started mixing a large batter of pancakes. 

“I’ve missed seeing you cook,” she said as she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him from behind. 

Suresh turned around to face her enveloping her in tight hug. 

“Oh god, I’d like my pancakes with no side of bits, please!” Kat said in disgust. 

“Yeah, guys this can’t be sanitary if you’re doing kitchen bits...” Eddie said warily.

“I was just hugging him! Everyone relax, there’s been no kitchen bits…today.” Gemma said giggling. 

“Come on, Gemma this isn’t funny! Kitchen bits is a no go! Can everyone please agree,” Alfie said. 

“I love some kitchen bits, to be fair,” Finn said smirking. 

“My man!” Finn and Suresh shared a high five. 

With Suresh’s pre-mixed batter, they began to cook large stacks of pancakes. 

“Those pancakes were really delicious, they almost make up for our lack of sleep this past week,” Alfie said laughing. 

Gemma sat in between Suresh’s legs with his arms wrapped around her. He cuddled her closer and said, “I hope they’ll do for the rest of the time we have here as well because we’re not stopping.” 

Gemma giggled, slightly blushing. “Suresh!” 

*Text Ping*

“Was that mine?” Suresh asked. 

“I think I got one too,” Kat said.

SURESH,

YOU LOOK THIRSTY! CARE FOR A DRINK? YOU’RE LEAVING THE VILLA FOR A DATE WITH A NEW ISLANDER. #WINEANDDINE #DATENIGHT 

“What!?” Suresh looked at Gemma utterly confused. 

“Why would anyone pick me for a date right now? Especially when you and I are so solid.” 

“Babe it’s ok. I’m not bothered, go on the date. I’ll be here waiting for you when you get back. One date isn’t going to change anything,” she said reassuringly. 

He nodded and held his arms out as she melted into them. She was right, a date wouldn’t change how he felt about her but why now? Why him? There were more available guys she could’ve chosen. Something about this felt off to him. 

He headed inside to the villa to get dressed and turned around to get one final look of Gemma, she was chatting with some of the girls seemingly unbothered.

---

It was on rare occasion that the islanders were able to leave the villa for a few hours, so they were usually excited for dates, but Suresh was dreading this. Something about his mystery date choosing him didn’t sit right with him. As Suresh and Kat walked up to the courtyard, two tables had been set up nearby with some tapas and prosecco at both tables. Suresh and Kat were both asked to sit and wait for their dates to arrive at their respective tables. Kat’s date arrived first. He’s tall, gorgeous with dark brown eyes, caramel complexion, and curly brown hair. 

“Hey Kat, I’m Ben,” He flashed a wide small.

Suresh can hear the sound of high heels clicking purposefully walking towards him. 

“Surprise!”

Surprise? 

Suresh turned around to face his mystery date and there she was. Gabrielle. The source of his relationship’s demise. A very real ghost of his past haunting him. 

“What is this?” Suresh asked disbelievingly. 

Kat looked at him confused. Her eyes followed Gabrielle and Suresh like a tennis match, paying Ben absolutely no attention. 

“What are you doing here? Are you trying to ruin me and Gemma again?” 

“Babes don’t be like that! And besides you did that all on your own the last time.” 

“Gabrielle, why are you here?” He hissed.

“Summer of love! Just like you!”

“Why did you pick me for this date, then? To cause drama with Gemma?” 

“I might’ve wanted to see you squirm a little before I made my grand entrance into the villa. And we were friends once, right? Maybe you could be my wingman of sorts!” 

“Why would I ever help you? You literally ruined the best thing I ever had.” 

Her eyes narrow. 

“You ruined it, Suresh. Don’t blame me for mistakes you made in your life. If I wanted to, I could make your life really fucking difficult right now, so I’d play nice if I were you.” 

“It was a one-time drunken mistake, Gabi. And you act like we saw each other for months. I wanted nothing to do with you after it. I blocked you. I never went back to the bar. This is the first I’ve seen or heard from you since it even happened.”

“Yes, but how easy would it be for me to tell Gemma that all of that isn’t true. You held so many secrets from her for so long, maybe she trusts you now but maybe I can cast a little doubt too?”

Suresh said nothing but glared at Gabrielle. 

“Pour me some champers, there will ya. Your girl is feeling celebratory!” she clapped her hands in glee.

“You’re not my girl,” he said icily. 

“Now, now Suresh. What did I say about playing nice,” she said taking a sip of her prosecco. 

—-

Before the jeep was able to come to a complete stop, Suresh ran out of the car and barreled into the villa in search of Gemma. 

Sitting on the beanbags with Lulu and Dana, the trio stopped what they were laughing at when they saw the state Suresh was in. 

“Babe, are you ok?” She started to get up and he ran to help her with a look of fear in his eyes.

“Gem…” he paused taking a deep breath. 

“Resh, what’s wrong?” 

“Gemma…she’s here.” 

Before he could explain further Kat walked in with two new islanders, Ben and Gabrielle. 

Gabrielle made direct eye contact with Gemma and gave her a smug smile. 

“Let’s go welcome the new islanders, Resh!”

Suresh paused. Gemma looked at him with a look that said not now. He squeezed her hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“So, Ben you’re a model from Exeter, then?” Kat asked. 

“Wait, Kat didn’t you ask Ben any of these questions on your date?” Alfie asked. 

“I was a bit preoccupied. sorry babe!” Kat said. 

“Hey welcome! I’m Gemma. Pleasure to meet you both.” Suresh holds Gemma protectively from behind with his hands resting on her waist. 

“We were just catching everyone up on the dates… might as well let everyone in on our shared past Suresh.” Gabrielle said flirtatiously. 

“Wait, what? Another ex?” Eddie asked.

“That can’t be right. Gemma is Suresh’s only ex.” Alfie said.

“Wait... but that means that… oh no... you’re the turtle tattoo girl! You’re the girl he cheated on Gemma with.” Eddie said. 

“Guilty.” She said mockingly while grinning at Gemma. 

All of the islanders turn to look at Gemma. 

“Can you lot leave us alone please?” Suresh grabbed Gemma’s hand and led her up to the roof terrace, as soon as she got there, she dropped his hand. 

“Gem...”

“Suresh, I need a minute, please.”

Gemma closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. They were back together again. They were stupidly happy. They made it through their tests, why were they being given another one.

“Why does she have to be here right now?” Gemma said to herself. 

Suresh ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her. 

“We can leave tonight if you want, I’ll go and pack everything. I’ll get us on the first plane back to Edinburgh if it’s what you want.” 

“I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to give her the satisfaction.” 

He nodded and let the silence hang.

“G are we okay?” He asked expectantly. 

Gemma sighed deeply and looked at him with welled up tears in her eyes. 

“The short answer is I don’t know. I really want to be okay. My feelings for you haven’t changed but I can’t pretend that I’m fine with the bartender you fucked sleeping five feet away from me every night for the next however many days or weeks we’re here. I knew that when we got back together that we were both moving on from our past mistakes and looking forward to our future together but having this very real ghost from our past haunting us it’s bringing up old things for me.”

“I’m sorry Gem, I’m so sorry. I really wish I could take all of this back.” 

“You can’t Suresh. So now we have to deal with the consequences.”

Gemma got up and headed towards the roof terrace door and looked back with her hand outstretched to Suresh, “You coming?”

---

Suresh woke up tangled in Gemma’s body. Even while they slept, they yearned for one another. He pulled her closer still and she purred softly. He couldn’t imagine how she could be feeling right now but he wanted to do everything he could to make her feel comfortable. Seeing Gabrielle again brought back all of the emptiness, the hurt he felt when he lost Gemma. The last thing he wanted to do was lose her now that he had her back in his arms. Gemma stirred under him and gazed lovingly into his green eyes. She closed the distance between them and kissed him passionately. There was a fervor, an intensity that was different to their other kisses this past week. 

“Well, you guys are all quite tame, then? No evening or morning bits?” Gabrielle said snickering. 

The sound of her voice made Gemma stop their kiss and they both sighed impatiently at the interruption. 

“No! Please don’t get them started, those two will be going at it all morning,” Kat groaned as she pointed to Suresh and Gemma’s bed. 

They both looked at each other and smiled. Suresh cuddled Gemma closer to him and gave her a small kiss. 

“Looks like we’ve built a reputation for ourselves,” he said smiling at her. 

“Suresh!” she playfully smacked his chest. “You know my mum and dad are watching this. Behave!” she said with a smile. 

“Hmm…not in the mood last night I take it? I hope my arrival wasn’t the cause of it,” she said with sickeningly sweet smile. 

The air in the room became tense and awkward. 

“I’m obviously just kidding guys.” She said laughing. “Well, if no one’s doing bits, we should get dressed then! To the dressing room ladies?” Gabrielle shot up from her bed and sprinted towards the dressing room. 

Gemma sighed and motioned to get up and Suresh pulled her back into bed. 

“Are you okay?” 

“She’s just trying to wind us babe. I’m not playing her silly games anymore.” 

*TEXT PING* 

GEMMA IT’S TIME YOU AND GABRIELLE SAT AND HAD A HEART TO HEART. #GIRLCHAT 

Gemma groaned at Suresh and rolled her eyes, falling into his chest. 

“Now this,” she said muffled. 

“I’m sorry Gem, I wish I could go in your place,” he said kissing the top of her head. 

His mistake. He cheated. Why was Gemma having to suffer through a sit down with Gabrielle? She’d been insufferable during his date; he knew she’d be just as shameless and smug with Gemma. “…Maybe she trusts you now but maybe I can cast a little doubt too?”

--- 

“Well, this is lush! Champers, babe?” Gabrielle said pouring two glasses of prosecco. 

“Sure.” 

Gemma didn’t know where to start. This was incredibly awkward, and Gabrielle was acting as if nothing had ever happened, and they were just good friends. 

“I guess you probably want some answers about what happened between Suresh and I?” Gabrielle said interrupting Gemma’s thoughts. 

“No, to be quite frank, I don’t. Suresh cheated. With you. He and I have spoken about what happened and I don’t think there’s anything you can say that will add any further clarity to the situation for me.” 

Gabrielle looked back at Gemma stunned, for once she didn’t have the upper hand. She’d enjoyed dangling Gemma’s trauma in front of her face for the last two days and now she was turning the tables. 

“Hmm…are you sure?” she said tapping her perfectly manicured nail against her champagne flute. 

Gemma hated the condescending tone to that question. Are you sure? She knew Gabrielle was baiting her, but she couldn’t help but fall into her trap. 

“What is that supposed to mean?” 

“Well, do you think Suresh has really changed? You know him better than I do after all. And we both know he’s never going to not be a flirt. It’s synonymous with his personality at this point!” 

Gemma considered this point. Gabrielle was right Suresh had always been a massive flirt. It’s actually what turned Gemma off to him when they’d first met. He had to chase her down multiple times before he was able to win her over. But Gemma realized something, since they’d been in the villa together Suresh had been different. He had changed. His focus hadn’t been on flirting with the girls. It had been solely on Gemma. This wasn’t the same guy that she had met all those years ago. He was apologetic, he was considerate, he had matured, and he had changed for her. 

“You know what? I do think he has changed,” Gemma said beaming. 

--- 

Suresh bit his lip as he scrolled through various pictures of him and Gemma together from this past week in the villa. He hoped seeing her smiling face would calm his nerves but all it did was make the pit in his stomach grow bigger and bigger. The thought of losing her again brought him back to the black fog of nothingness. He turned his phone around and watched the main entrance area, willing her to return. 

“I don’t think it works that way,” Finn said. 

“Huh?” 

“I don’t think if you stare at the entrance she’ll come through those doors faster,” he said laughing. 

Suresh sighed heavily. 

“I know…it’s just. I can’t lose her again mate.” 

“I really don’t think you will. You’ve told her everything, right?” 

“Yes! I’ve been 100% honest with her.” 

“And she’s forgiven you. A little chat with Gabrielle isn’t going to change anything. It might actually help clear the tension between them if anything.” 

“You think?”

“Well, I guess you’ll find out right now. Look who just walked in the door,” he said as he walked away to give them some privacy. 

When Suresh looked up, he could see Gemma beaming at him. She giggled as she ran towards him, her light brown hair messily blowing everywhere. Once she finally reached Suresh she jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck and her lips crashed down on his greedily. Suresh wasn’t sure what happened on their chat, but he eagerly reciprocated Gemma’s kiss. 

When Gemma finally released him, she was breathless and gasping for air. 

“Here, come sit,” he said as he guided them over to swings. 

“What happened on your chat?”

“I realized that everything has changed. I’ve changed. You’ve changed. What happened with Gabrielle was tough and it will forever be a stain on our relationship, but we’ve grown so much stronger because of it. We’re not the same people we were back then, Resh.” 

Suresh couldn’t help but smile. 

“Gemma I will never do anything to hurt you like that again. I love you so much.” 

Gemma gazed at him lovingly. 

“I love you, too Resh.” 

He closed the distance between them and kissed her passionately. Their kiss is interrupted by a text ping from his phone. 

*TEXT PING* 

“I got a text!” The islanders gather round while Suresh reads out the text. 

ISLANDERS,

TONIGHT THE HIDEAWAY IS OPEN. YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE LUCKY COUPLE TO STAY THE NIGHT. #DONOTDISTURB #ALONEATLAST

“Gemma and Suresh!!!” The islanders yell in unison. 

“So, we can finally get some rest,” Kat said.

Thank you thank you to my bra 💖 @katsie for being my editor and fixing my dumb mistakes and leaving way too many reaction emojis on the google doc..love you ❤️

The hardest part of finding love and finding that one person you can’t live without, is learning to live without them. 

Suresh was lost. Figuratively and literally. He’d been driving home from his parents house, after celebrating his mother’s birthday, and he realized that he’d never gotten off on his exit. He looked at the time, he’d driven almost an hour out of his way in a daze. 

Fuck. I’m lost. 

He pulled his car over, wrapping his large arms over the steering wheel and rested his head on top of his hands. He closed his eyes and was transported back to this afternoon, to the chorus of “Where’s Gemma?” ringing out the second he walked in the door, only to be replaced by despondent, sad faces when he revealed the truth. They were done. Over. No more. Finished. His mother’s disappointment somehow shattered him even more than he already was. It had been two weeks. Two weeks of no Gemma, no laughter, no love, only pain and hurt. Pain and hurt that he’d caused, that he’d been the catalyst of. He tried calling and texting her, he sent her a florist shop amount of flowers and called all of her friends begging them to convince her to speak to him, but she ignored every attempt. As he sat in his car now, he thought about typing her address into the GPS and driving to her apartment. He almost stopped himself, but deep down he knew he would never have been able to do that. He needed to see her, whether she wanted to see him or not.

When he arrived he noticed the lights were off and she didn’t seem to be home, but he still tried her doorbell. No answer. He tried again. Still no answer. 

Wait for her. She has to come home sometime. 

The autumn air was cold and pricked his skin. His lower back was starting to hurt from standing and shivering, but he refused to turn back and give up on her. After a few hours, he saw her car turn onto her street and his chest tightened in anticipation of seeing her for the first time since they broke up. He was partly hidden by the shadow of the awning, so Gemma didn’t see him right away, but he saw her. She looked absolutely stunning as she stepped out of the car, too pretty to have just come home from work, and then he noticed she was not alone. Gemma smiled at her new male companion, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. There was a sadness in them that he knew he was the main culprit for. She took his hand and they made their way to the door, but then she spotted him. She stopped dead in her tracks, her feet frozen to the ground as she stared up at him. The fake smile she plastered on her face formed into a deep scowl. She looked at Suresh with determination and turned to her date, pulling him in for a deep, passionate kiss. Even he seemed surprised by it, but returned it with enthusiasm. Suresh felt like he’d been punched in the gut and had the wind knocked out of him. He couldn’t breathe seeing Gemma kiss another man. And he knew what would come next. She broke away from the kiss, then grabbed her date's hand and walked with him up the stairs.

“Gem…” Suresh tried. 

But Gemma refused to look at him. She focused on her keys and twisting them through the lock, leaving him alone in the cold. 

“Who was that?” the new guy asked as they made their way inside. 

“No one important,” she laughed and closed the door behind her. 

Suresh’s blood was boiling. He balled up his fists at his side as his heartbeat quickened, and his chest felt like it was going to explode. 

Is she fucking serious right now? No one important. Over a year, and what? I’m just nothing to her now? No one important? One mistake and she can just throw us away. To go and fuck some loser who doesn’t deserve her. Fine, Gemma. Two can play that game. 

A storm raged on in Suresh’s mind as he entered The Social for the first time in weeks. Suresh hadn’t been single for over a year and his little black book had been limited to only Gemma, until “the incident.” He didn’t know where else to turn to look for eligible women but he did know one that might still be interested in him, if he played his cards right. 

“Thought I’d seen the last of you, Mr. Fraser,” Gabi cooed, batting her eyelashes at him. 

“Maybe I was playing hard to get.” He winked.

Gabi leaned in close to him and whispered, “I’m off in ten minutes…” 

He grinned. “Then I’ll have a whiskey neat while I wait.” 

Gemma wasn't spending her nights alone so neither would he.  

Fuck. She's moved on. He thought. She doesn't care about me anymore. Maybe she never did... No one important. 

“Alright handsome, your place or mine?” Gabi had come around the bar, now leaning on the counter as she stared up at him and chewed on her bottom lip. Suresh downed the rest of his drink.

“Let’s go to yours,” he volunteered. 

He couldn’t take her to his apartment. Not when it still had so many memories of Gemma all over the place. Her pictures still littered every wall in his apartment, her toiletries still invaded every shelf in his bathroom, and he swore that her side of the bed still smelled like her. He couldn’t bring her back to his place and risk losing Gemma’s scent. 

No one important. No one important. No one important.  

Gabi pounced on him the second they entered her tiny studio apartment, crashing her lips onto his as she pressed her body into him. It didn’t fit his like Gemma’s did, everything about her was different. The way she smelled and tasted was so foreign to him, but he didn’t care. Not tonight. Not when he knew someone else would be touching Gemma the way he should’ve been. 

No one important. 

“Take your clothes off,” he growled.

No sooner than the words were out of his mouth, her top was falling to the ground and she was sliding her skirt off. He did the same, ripping off his own clothes in a hurry and moving closer to Gabi, who was now waiting for him on the bed. His muscular body towered over her, his gaze burned with a mixture of desire and anger. 

No one important.

He swept her in a long, passionate kiss, lacing his fingers through her hair and letting them explore her body. 

No one important. No one important. No one important. Those three words haunted him and whenever he started to get clear of it, they lashed out at him with a fresh wave of pain. 

He groaned in annoyance, but Gabi didn’t seem to notice. He really needed to get his mind off Gemma, so instead he tried to focus on Gabi, kissing her hard. He slid two thick fingers into her slit, and she welcomed him with a soft moan. 

“Mmm,” she panted. “Suresh.” 

As he increased the pace, her cries intensified, and her body wriggled under his touch. 

“Yes…oh my god…don’t stop.” 

He quickened his pace further as her moans grew louder until she screamed out his name as she came all over him. He snapped his fingers out and plunged into her so suddenly and so deep that she screamed out in pleasurable surprise. 

No one important. No one important. No one important. 

He let out a low growl before starting to thrust into Gabi with a ferociousness he didn’t know he possessed. It left him wondering if she’d be able to handle him, handle his size. With each thrust he felt her orgasm closing in as she clenched around him. He grabbed her thighs, pushing himself deeper into her still as she arched her back and met his thrusts. 

No one important. No one important. No one important. 

Underneath him Gabi screamed as pleasure surged through her body as she neared her climax. 

Focus. 

But all he could see was Gemma. And instead of pushing her away he leaned into her memory. He thrust into Gabi, picturing the last time he held Gemma in his arms. He steadily drove into her now, his breathing intensifying with each stroke. 

“I’m so close,” she screamed. 

He crashed his lips onto hers. He didn’t want her to speak. He didn’t want to hear her voice, to break his image of Gemma in his mind. With one final thrust, Suresh let out a low growl as he came. 

“G…” 

He collapsed onto the bed next to her, trying to catch his breath while Gabi stroked his arm. She inched closer to him, lazily draping her leg over his. 

“That was…amazing,” she purred. 

“Mmm…” He smiled back. He didn’t know what to say, but her leg suddenly felt too heavy on his, and her studio apartment walls felt too small, like they were closing in on him. 

He looked down at his watch and feigned shock at the time. “Shit, it’s already 1:30? I have a deposition in the morning, so I should head out.” 

Gabi looked slightly disappointed as she moved her leg off of him. 

He slinked away from her, grabbing his clothes and dressing quickly. She grabbed an oversized shirt from a drawer and draped it over her body as she walked with him towards the front door. 

“I’ll text you,” he said as she smiled back up at him. 

And he did, about a week later, when the emptiness and void that Gemma left got too unbearable to handle on his own. And again he left in the middle of the night citing excuses of early morning meetings on the other side of town. This became their pattern for a few weeks and before he knew it, it’d been over two months. 

“Resh…it’s late. Don’t go,” she whispered, and moved to climb on top of him. 

He chuckled in the dark. He was exhausted, but in the two months they’d been seeing each other he had yet to spend  the night. 

“I wish I could, but I don’t have a toothbrush or a change of clothes, and I have to be up early tomorrow.” 

“Hold that thought!” She excitedly jumped out of bed and raced over to the bathroom. She returned with a small bag from Boots, and handed it to him. 

“What’s this?” he asked.

“Open it!” She beamed at him.

He looked inside the bag to find a brand new toothbrush and dental kit. He looked up at her and smirked. “Wow, you really thought of everything, didn’t you?” 

She smiled shyly and shrugged, but he leaned in and gave her a small kiss on the lips.

“Ok, I’ll stay. But I do have to leave quite early so don’t be mad if I wake you,” he said smiling.

Three Months Later

He was comfortably numb. Dull. Complacent. Gabi was a perfect distraction to the hollowness he felt inside. She didn’t make his life difficult like Gemma had, there were no complications with her. She was easy going and didn’t ask too many questions. For one, the fact that she never complained about never having been invited to his apartment in the five months they'd been dating. She didn’t seem to mind that he didn’t text her all day, or sometimes even for a few days in a row, if he was too busy at work. And they carried on this way until one afternoon. 

“You know, babe… We’ve  been seeing each other for like… five months now and we never leave my apartment or the bar. I’ve never been to yours, and we’ve never really had a proper date.” 

He was snuggled up close behind her on the couch and he gave her a reassuring squeeze. 

“I’m sorry Gab, work has been so crazy these last few months. I’ve taken on double the workload basically and it’s been so hard to make plans outside of that.” The lie rolled off his tongue with ease. “Why don’t we go out for dinner tonight, somewhere nice. I’ll make a reservation now.” 

“Really? OK! I’ll go get ready!” 

He took out his phone while she went to change, and scanned the restaurants he had taken Gemma to so many times before. If he was honest with himself, the reason he never took Gabi to any of these restaurants was because he hated the thought of being there with someone other than Gemma. So he found a brand new restaurant that had only recently opened and made a reservation for two. 

Perfect. No  memory of Gemma. 

They arrived at the beautiful, dimly lit restaurant, and took their seats in the center of the room. 

“Suresh, this place is so nice! I love it!” Gabi beamed as she looked around. 

It’s so easy to impress her.

“You were right, Gab. We should’ve done this a long time ago,” he said, taking her hand and smiling at her. 

“So tell me, we haven’t talked much about your previous relationships before me.” 

“Before you?” he asked, slightly confused.  

“Yes…any messy breakups? Ex-girlfriends that broke your heart?” 

He shifted in his seat uncomfortably. For five months he’d done his best to guide his thoughts away from Gemma. Her ghost haunted him less and less frequently, and he was getting to the point where he believed he was finally ready to move on. Maybe he was finally over her. 

“I’ve only had one serious relationship. Gemma. We dated for over a year but things ended badly on my account and I’ve learned my lesson from it. I won’t lie, it was hard at first to get over her, but honestly I feel like I’m in a great place now. My career is skyrocketing and my winning streak has never been this good. I just made an offer on a  new apartment and I can’t wait to move in…” 

“And you have me,” she interrupted with a smile. 

“Yes, and I have you,” he said with a laugh. 

“So you’re over her then?” 

“Oh, god yes. Completely.” 

“Good. I’ve been thinking about us lately, and maybe taking our relationship to the next level and wanted to…” 

Gabi's voice was drowned out by an all too familiar sound that he hadn't heard in months, that he hadn't realized how much he missed. Gemma’s laugh. 

But it can’t be her laugh. Gemma can’t be here tonight. Right?

His heart started to beat out of his chest as he followed the sound, and then finally he saw her. She was walking down the large marble staircase from the restaurant’s second floor with her parents by her side. Her dad held her mom’s hand, and whatever separation they had been  going through before seemed to have been resolved in the months since their  break up. But all he could see was her. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. She looked stunning. She looked happy. She didn’t have the same fake smile plastered on her face like she did on that night she’d rejected him and left him standing on her doorstep. The night it all ended for him, that made him realize there was no coming back from what he’d done. This was a real smile, a real laugh. 

God, I missed you, Gem. 

“Suresh, did you hear what I said?” Gabi asked. 

“Yes, of course,” He had no idea what she had said, he’d stopped listening to her the second he heard his favorite laugh in the world. The laugh that still made him weak in the knees, that could right all the wrongs in the world. He needed to hear that laugh again. He wanted to be the reason she laughed like that again. 

Fuck. I still love her. 

He watched them as they were leaving, and he was left with the bitter truth that he wouldn't get a chance to see her again. To talk to her. To make her laugh. How would she react if she saw him here now? His chest ached as he nursed the idea that she would probably look away in disgust.

“Are you listening to me? You seem distracted…” Gabi turned around to follow his eye line but by the time she did, Gemma and her parents were gone. 

“Yes!” He cleared his throat. “I just thought I saw a former client of mine. What were you saying?” 

“About us! I’m really starting to fall for you…how are you feeling?”

Fuck…

Her confession alarmed him. It was never supposed to get to that. And seeing Gemma? Even if he didn't want it to, it changed everything.

“Of course I like you too, Gabi. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t, right? Don’t be silly.” 

But Gabi had reason to ask, she had reason to worry. Even in the minutes since he’d seen Gemma, his whole mood shifted. The hollowness, the emptiness that he had been trying to avoid seemed to grow inside him again. He spent the rest of the dinner trying to take his mind off of Gemma, but he was failing miserably. He couldn’t get her smile or her laugh out of his mind. And the harder he tried, the more memories seemed to rush back in with that same smile, that same laugh. That godforsaken, painful, beautiful, gut wrenching laugh. Suresh knew then that he was still in love with Gemma, and anything he thought he had going on with Gabi was done. 

“Let’s grab the check,” he said with a small smile. 

As they walked out of the restaurant, Gabi grabbed his hand and laced her fingers through his. Something that had felt normal just hours before, now felt so strange. 

“Resh, I was thinking maybe tonight we can finally go to your place?” She looked up at him expectantly and he knew this was the last time he was ever going to see her face. He couldn’t keep seeing her anymore, not after tonight. But he couldn’t break up with her right here, he’d find another way. 

“I can’t tonight. Actually I can’t come over either. I have this case I’m working on. It requires my full attention right now.” 

Gabi couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes. “OK, I understand. Listen, don't worry about dropping me off, I’m going to meet my friends down the street. They invited me out earlier but I said I was with you, but since my night cleared up I’m going to meet them.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive,” she said icily.

Suresh turned to her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before he jumped into his car. 

Six Weeks Later 

“I still don’t understand why you couldn’t just call Gabi and break up with her like an adult.” Simon glared at his best friend. “She’s reached out how many times now? And you just ignore her every time?”  He was one of Suresh’s closest friends, and always told him how it was. He was also the reason Suresh and Gemma ever got together. After Simon's girlfriend Chloe, also Gemma's best friend, had dragged her along to his birthday party and the two met for the first time. 

“She stopped reaching out two weeks ago,” Suresh huffed. 

“But she’s still looking at your Instagram stories, and she knows we’re here. What if she just shows up to confront you for ghosting her?” 

“Gabi’s not really fussed,” Suresh said running his fingers through his hair.

“Gabi’s not really fussed?” Simon snapped. “The second I walked into her bar the other day she asked where the hell you’ve been.” 

“You didn’t tell me that. You’re supposed to be my best friend, what happened to bro code. What did you say?” 

“I told her the truth…I didn’t want to get involved in your mess and if she wanted to speak to you, she should reach out. But I didn’t realize, you’ve literally been ignoring her all this time.” 

“It’s just…” Suresh sighed as he looked down at the drink in front of him. “It’s Gemma, man.” 

“Gemma?! What do you mean?” Simon asked incredulously. 

“Ever since I saw her that night at the restaurant I can’t get my mind off of her.” 

Simon took a long sip of his drink, then circled the glass with his thumb and groaned. “I don’t know if this is my place to tell you,” he hesitated. 

“What?” Suresh asked. 

“It’s about Gemma…” 

“Out with it already!” 

“Gem and Chlo had a girls’ brunch date, that turned into day drinking, that turned into them coming back to mine and Chlo’s. They were absolutely wasted, watching TV, gossiping, and having even more wine when a commercial came on with some bloke, Rocco selling aftershave. Apparently he was on Love Island… Well this got the girls talking about whether they would ever do it. And then Gemma said she was going to apply.” 

“Oh. Well, don't thousands of people apply every year?” 

“Yes, they do, but yesterday she got a call from a producer. They want her to come in for a screening.” 

“Wait, what?” 

“Yeah Resh… and you know Gemma better than anyone. She’s passing that screen test. They’re going to love her.” 

“Well, if they want her, then they’ll definitely want me, too.”

Simon eyed up his friend with uncertainty. “Where are you going with this?"  

“I can go on and win her back, mate,” Suresh said. 

“Suresh, what? You’re not thinking of actually applying, are you? That’s not why I told you.” 

“Why not? Imagine how the producers are going to feel when one of their favorite girls has an ex who wants to come in and win her back. They’re going to eat that drama up.” 

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Suresh.” 

“I need to try. I’ve done everything else and she won’t speak to me. If she’s going on Love Island that means she’s ready to find something again. Why can’t it be me?” 

“You’re going to humiliate yourself on national television! No INTERNATIONAL television, they air this show in so many countries. You’ll be a worldwide laughing stock.” 

“I don’t care. It’s Gemma. I have to try.”

Her Name Was Lola - Suresh POV

NC – 17 

When I was reading the spoilers one of my favorite callback memories was the boat scene in Monte Carlo, as soon as I read it I knew I wanted to incorporate it in a fic somehow. Using Suresh's own words that he can't stop thinking about it, I take him through a day where Gemma makes it particularly difficult for him to forget it.

Contains spoilers through episode 23 so I would recommend reading those episodes first. Episodes 20-22 are live on the app today, but Episode 23 can be found here if you haven't gotten a chance to catch up on the spoilers!

@kunepie @fujihime-litg @future-mrs-suresh @squishy-noodles @hi-im-karla

Suresh tried to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun to no avail. He’d been no stranger to the daybeds, as he’d been sleeping outside since he’d first arrived in the villa. He had wanted to show Gemma, he’d give her the space she needed to make her feel comfortable being around him again. He knew it couldn’t’ve been easy to see him after all that time apart and after all they’d been through together. But after the recoupling a few nights ago, he was finally sleeping in the main bedroom once again. That is until his late-night antics landed him in hot water with Arlo and she swiftly ushered him out of the bedroom, and they slept out on the daybeds.

Arlo stirred next to him, slowly turning to face him.  

“We should talk about last night, then,” she said icily. 

He sighed. 

“Arlo it was just bants.” 

“Her blowing you kisses in the middle of the night is just bants?” 

“It’s my fault, really. They’re in the bed next to ours when I turned over, I saw Gemma and Alfie cuddling so I just teased her and blew her a kiss.” 

“And why was she blowing you kisses back, then?” 

“It was just jokes, seriously. We always used to tease each other like that.” 

Arlo looks at him incredulously. 

“Arlo, it’s a new day. I’m really sorry what I did upset you, that wasn’t my intention. Let’s just enjoy a new day in the villa and not make something out of nothing.” 

Arlo studied him for a second she sighed and seemingly resigned to Suresh’s charm.   

“I guess you’re right. I’ve got to get dressed for the day.” Arlo gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and headed towards the villa. 

As Arlo walked back into the villa, Suresh’s thoughts centered solely on Gemma and their “kiss” the night before. He sat there smiling as memories from years past started to flood his mind. The Monte Carlo trip was a particular one that kept creeping back into his mind more and more recently. 

MONTE CARLO – SUMMER 2019 

Gemma had always been up for a laugh, especially a naughty one. When they arrived at the casino, Gemma told him she’d find him at the Roulette table and that she’d be right back. 

Suresh assumed she’d gone to the ladies room, so he made his way over to the bar to order them drinks and went to meet her at the Roulette table. 

“Place your bets, sir.” The dealer said. 

“I think you should go with black, sir.” Gemma said with a French accent. 

Suresh turned around to see Gemma in a short black wig and a provocative smile. 

Suresh handed the dealer a large number of chips and feasted his eyes back on Gemma. 

“All on black, please,” he said to the dealer absentmindedly, all eyes on Gemma. 

“Bonsoir Monsieur, my name is Lola. Maybe I can be your good luck charm tonight?” She said batting her eyelashes at him. 

“Maybe we can wager a kiss for every win to see how lucky you really are?” he said resting his hands on her lower back. 

“6, Black” the Dealer called. 

She smiled as she closed the distance between them. This wasn’t his girlfriend, this was Lola. She craved him. She grabbed his neck and kissed him passionately entering his mouth with a ferocious hunger. She bit down on his lip as she released him, gasping for air.  

Everyone around them stared at them in disgust and shock. But they didn’t care. They did it over and over again. Suresh was on a winning streak with “Lola” by his side, to the tune of 10,000 Euro….

“Earth to Suresh…” Eddie said as he and Finn plopped down killing Suresh’s trip down memory lane. 

“Alright mate, tell us what happened last night. I was a bit…preoccupied.” Finn said laughing. 

Suresh paused to gather his thoughts; he ran his large fingers through his thick black hair. 

“It was really a bunch of nothing…Gemma and I were just teasing each other. It was just bants.” Suresh said. 

“Yeah, are you sure? I feel like it’s never just bants with you two,” Eddie said. 

Suresh thinks about this. 

“Ok, let me rephrase the question. Do you wish you had picked Gemma over Arlo?” Eddie asked. 

“Whew…Eddie boy. You’re really going there, aren’t you.” Finn said patting him on the back. 

“Boys as much as I’m enjoying this chat, I think I’m going to head down for a swim.” 

---

Water dripped down from his shorts creating large puddles as Suresh walked to grab a towel from the lounger. The droplets on his chiseled chest and abs glistened, he worked to dry most of it off. Relaxing into the lounger he watched the other islanders settle into villa life. He could hear the soft clinks of metal and soft grunts coming from the gym where Alfie and Eddie were working out. In the kitchen, Kat hugged Finn tightly from behind while he laughed at something she said. Arlo seemed to be making herself a coffee, to take to the swings like she did most mornings. She looked beautiful today in a cream-colored bikini that contrasted her creamy mocha complexion perfectly. Her hair was pulled back into a top knot and she wore large sunglasses that hid her eyes. Suresh found Arlo to be attractive, but if he was honest with himself that was where the connection between them stopped. He didn’t feel anything close to what he felt when he first met Gemma.

Where’s Gemma? 

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her laughter, he looked up to see Gemma walking arm in arm with Dana into the garden. The trill of her laughs still had a way of sending tingles down his spine. Gemma looked directly at him with a mischievous glint in her eye, as she adjusted one of the straps of her red string bikini, showing Dana the current tan progress on her golden skin. 

Suresh’s eyes went wide, and his heart immediately started to quicken, when he noticed it. 

She’s wearing the exact same bathing suit she wore in Monte Carlo. She knows I love that bathing suit. She’s got to be playing games with me. Especially after last night.    

Gemma whispered something in Dana’s ear and Dana walked off to the swing set with Arlo. 

What are you doing Gemma? 

Gemma sauntered to the other side of the villa directly opposite Suresh. Even halfway across the garden, Gemma had so much control over him. 

I know you’re doing this to get back at me for last night with Arlo and Alfie. Well played, Gem. We always did love a good cat and mouse game, didn’t we? 

To the other islanders, it all looked innocent enough. Suresh was sitting on a lounger by himself, catching a tan. Gemma was sitting on the other side of the villa, working her suntan oil in. But the two were speaking a secret language only they understood. Gemma positioned herself exactly in his eyeline and sprayed the suntan oil. He loved the mixture of the coconut and vanilla fragrance on her skin, and he could smell it even from this distance. He breathed in deep as she sprayed it on her long legs and worked the oil in slowly. Suresh imagined his fingers instead of hers working their way up her long legs. 

You’re not playing fair, Gemma. 

Slowly caressing and massaging the oil in. She worked up to her inner thighs and opened her legs wide. 

I’m yours, Gems. I’m yours.

She started to trace small circles in her inner thighs, just like he used to do after sex. 

Fuck Gemma. 

His fingernails gripped the sides of the loungers and he tried to control his breathing as

she continued working her way up her smooth stomach. When she got to her shoulders, she looked directly at him, and he could see a small smile forming on the corners of her mouth. He swallowed hard and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. She worked her way up to her neck. She was punishing him for last night. Gemma always enjoyed a good tease, look but don’t touch. 

As Gemma’s show came to a close, she gathered her things and slowly sauntered over to the swings where Dana and Arlo were still hanging out, but before she got there, she paused and gave him the same smoldering look that he had been reminiscing about for months. 

MONTE CARLO – SUMMER 2019 

“10,000 Euros Gemma, I can’t believe this night,” Suresh said laughing as they walked out of the casino holding hands. Before she could say anything, he grabbed her and kissed her fiercely. “My good luck charm.” 

“I don’t know who this Gemma is you speak of, tonight I’m Lola,” she said laughing, wrapping her arms around his neck. 

“I think I have somewhere else I want to take Lola before Gemma comes back,” Suresh said mischievously.

“And where is that?”

“Come on!”

Gemma giggled as Suresh led the way to a Marina filled with luxurious yachts. 

“Suresh, oh my god! A boat?” 

“Yeah, I’m sure no one will mind if we borrow for a little rendezvous. You up for it?” 

“You know, with you I’m always up for anything.” 

Suresh moved closer to Gemma and kissed her lovingly. He held her chin as he stared into her sea green eyes. 

“I love you, Gem.” 

“I love you, too Resh,” she said smiling. 

He took her hand, and they walked over to a large yacht, there seemed to be no sign of anyone on the boat, no lights on, no movement. From the dock, they could easily walk onto the lower deck of yacht. Suresh led Gemma up the stairs to the upper deck, and it was a millionaire’s playground. One area of the yacht was covered in plush seating with nautical pillows and towels, to the left there was a luxurious bar area and to the right a large dining area big enough for a table of twelve. 

Suresh headed to the bar area to look for champagne. 

“Sit down Suresh,” Gemma said provocatively. 

Suresh turned around and saw Gemma had a suggestive glint in her eye and he immediately made his way to the couches and sat down. Gemma’s heels clicked as she sauntered closer to him. Never breaking eye contact she started to unzip her dress. Slowly she started to remove one strap and the second, gliding the silky dress down to her stomach and letting it fall on its own. Suresh’s breath hitched as he saw Gemma’s bare breasts and a lacy white thong. 

“My God, Gemma.”  

Gemma smiled sultrily as she walked over and straddled Suresh. 

“You’re Mine, Suresh.” 

Without breaking eye contact with him, Gemma slowly unbuckled Suresh’s pants and slid her hand inside, she grabbed hold of his cock that was rock hard for her. 

“I’m Yours, Gems. I’m Yours,” he whispered in her ear.  

He passionately kissed her neck as she softly moaned. She gently stroked him up and down, paying particular attention to his tip. He let out a soft moan, breathing heavily into her ear. As he was getting close, they heard a noise behind them. 

A middle-aged man in his pajamas stood at the steps, staring at them in shock. 

“QUI ES-TU?! INTRUS! Who are you?? Intruders!”

Suresh grabbed a pillow and towel next to him to cover Gemma, as her dress was on the yacht deck many paces away. 

“Sir, I’m sorry we thought this was our friend, Jacques’ boat. Our mistake. We will be off now,” Suresh said apologetically.

“Get out!” The man didn’t know where to look, he wasn’t sure what to do, but he kept shoo’ing them away with his hands while also trying to avert his eyes from a half-naked Gemma. 

“Yes sir, right away.” 

“Get! Out!” 

Gemma quickly got dressed and they left holding hands, running out of the yacht. When they got out to the docks Gemma couldn’t stop laughing. 

“Who is Jacques?” she said giggling.

“A friend of Lola’s,” he said smiling. 

Suresh snapped out of his Monte Carlo haze with a smile on his face and looked around the villa, Finn stood by the pool with Alfie and Eddie sneakily heading his way, Arlo was now at the loungers and Gemma was alone in the kitchen. Suresh got up while Arlo wasn’t noticing and made his way over to the kitchen.  He walked up quietly behind Gemma and grabbed an orange from the fruit bowl, she was so fully engrossed in the other islanders throwing Finn in the pool that she didn’t hear him enter the kitchen.

“How honorable,” he said.  

Gemma turned around to face Suresh. 

“What does that mean?” 

“Gotta fight for the ones you love, right?”

Honestly would love a rewrite from you (obviously if you want and have time) but with the inner dialog we missed so much off, they was such a lack of emotion that alot of decisions just didnt make sense because we couldnt understand the reasons behind (specially my baby Suresh loved him but gave me such a whiplash 😮‍💨)

Bestie 😭🥹💖🥰 honestly even talks of a rewrite yesterday got me so excited that I wrote up a FOUR page outline just for the first part 😫 I really hate saying I’m going to do something before I begin but I have too many ideas now that I need to put to paper. I know Gemma and Suresh are happy but they will be again.. let’s just take them through some angst and drama first 😭😩😬🫠

THREE’S A CROWD - SURESH / GABRIELLE POV 

Suresh looked down at his watch, Gemma’s going to kill me. It had been the third time this week, he’d promise her that he wouldn’t work late but he was now two hours late to their dinner plans. His office was currently going through a massive re-structuring, and they were short staffed, his boss was asking for an “all hands-on deck approach” from all the senior and mid-level staff. He couldn’t say no when he was on the fast track to partner. He thought he had come up with a great solution to their temporary problem weeks ago, he asked Gemma to move in with him. His apartment was nicer than hers, it was bigger, it was on a better part of town. She basically lived there as it was, it just made sense. 

But Gemma said no, multiple times. She said she had a “rule” about not living with someone before she was engaged to them. They’d been together for over a year now and he could see himself proposing to her. He was going to propose to her. She was his dream girl after all. He just needed to get over this hump at work and then he would propose. They could have the big wedding she’d always dreamed of. His family wasn’t super traditional, but he imagined they’d want to keep some of his Sri Lankan traditions for the wedding. 

He turned his key into Gemma’s knob and turned it to open the door. The apartment was pitch black. 

“G?” 

Down the hall he could hear faint whispers from what seemed to be a conversation and he could see the glow coming from underneath Gemma’s bedroom door. 

Why is her door closed. She never closes her door. 

“Gemma?” 

With that she stopped talking and she rushed whoever was on the other line off the phone. She rushed out of her room, flustered. 

“Hey babe!” 

She ran over to give him a kiss. 

No argument? No snide remark about being late? 

“I’m sorry I’m late, work ran over again.” 

“It’s ok, should we go out, order in? I guess I could also whip up something quickly too. Not sure what you’re in the mood for –“ 

“Gemma who was the on the phone?” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Just now when I got home you were on the phone. Who were you on the phone with?” 

“Hmm... I could do with a Chinese...” 

“Gemma!” 

“Oh sorry! I was uh just oh on with Chloe.” 

“Since when do you stutter just to say you were on with Chloe?” 

“I didn’t stutter…oh my god Suresh what’s with the grilling? If you’re stressed from work keep it there, please. Don’t bring it home to me. I’ve not done anything to you. I was just trying to sort your dinner and you’ve come home with all this weird aggressive energy.”

“Well, this isn’t my home now is it, Gemma!” 

“Nope, not this again. We are not having this argument right now. Literally what’s wrong with you?” 

“What’s wrong with me?! You’re over here having secret conversations; you refuse to move in with me and you’re acting like there’s something wrong with me?” 

“We’re not doing this right now. Just go to your apartment Suresh. We’ll speak in the morning.” 

With this he turns around and storms off leaving Gemma’s apartment. 

--- 

Suresh drives aimlessly towards his apartment, but he realizes he doesn’t want to go home. He starts driving towards The Social. It’s his favorite bar, it’s close to his office and his apartment. He decides to leave his car near his apartment. The amount of drinking he’ll be doing tonight he shouldn’t get behind the wheel of a car. 

Suresh receives his usual raised eyebrow and come-hither stares from women that he’s become accustomed to it over the years. After over a year of successfully ignoring those types of looks from women he feels like he’s built a special Gemma armor around him. Mostly impenetrable to women. 

“Reshyyy!!!” Gabrielle squealed from the other side of the bar, she couldn’t contain her excitement and ran over to hug him. “I haven’t seen you in like a week where have you been?”

“Work has been an absolute mad house. I need lots and lots of tequila tonight.” 

“Your wish is my command!” 

Gabrielle smiled mischievously as she dropped two tequila shots in front of Suresh. She pressed her breasts together and leaned forward to him. 

“Let’s see if this big boy can handle these tiny tequila shots.” 

Suresh took down the two shots with ease. 

“Just leave the bottle.” Suresh continued to drink shot after shot for the next hour or so.

“Babes, we’re actually closing down in 15 minutes.” 

Suresh was drunk. Very drunk. He was slurring his words. He got up and the room started to spin but he got his bearings. 

“Nooo. But weee we’reere just starrrrting to have fuun.” 

Gabrielle walked over to him and held his shoulder. 

“Suresh are you ok,” Gabrielle said as she looked at him with a flirtatious smile. 

“Of course, I am G,” with that Suresh grabbed Gabrielle into a sloppy drunken kiss. For Gabrielle this was months in the making. She’d dreamed of what kissing Suresh would feel like, and what being with him would be like. She didn’t know much about him but she hoped this kiss was the start of something more. 

“Do you want to go back to my place, or should we go to yours?” Gabrielle asked expectantly. 

Suresh looked at her confused. “I don know where I live.” He started to laugh.

Gabrielle laughed with him. “Alright we can head to my place then, I can drive.”

Suresh snored in the passenger seat as Gabrielle drove them to her apartment. OMG I can’t believe this is happening. He’s so gorgeous. 

When they arrive at her place Suresh is still very inebriated. He's swaying as he walks down her hallway. She leads him to her bedroom, and they start to kiss. Their kiss starts slow and sensual, and she starts to kiss his neck as she starts to move down to his chest he says. “Gemma, I love you so much just move in with me.” 

Gabrielle stops kissing him. 

“Suresh, what did you say”

“Gemma, I love you.” 

With that he turns over and begins to snore. 

How could she be so stupid. Of course, he has a girlfriend. Gemma. 

He’s made a fool of me for MONTHS. Flirting with me. Gassing me up. Making it seem like he wanted anything with me. He clearly just did that for attention. I’ll give him attention. How could he cheat on his girlfriend? And I know he's not the type of guy to ever own up to his mistakes. Maybe I should help her find something in his phone that will make her see what a shitty, two-timing boyfriend she has.

Gabrielle looked around for Suresh’s phone, once she spotted it, she got to work. She removed his shirt and his pants. She left his underwear on but inched it down. She put on her red lacy lingerie set and took out his phone and posed. When she finally had the picture, she liked she saved it to his camera roll. 

---

Suresh woke up in a panic. This wasn’t his apartment. This wasn’t Gemma’s apartment. He wasn’t wearing clothes. Who was next to him?? He tried to move but his head felt like he had been buried under a ton of bricks. He had to get the hell out of here. He didn’t remember having sex. He didn’t remember much of anything. Gemma’s apartment. Car. THE SOCIAL. He finally inched his head over and he could see her red hair, her tattoos. What did you do Suresh? 

Suresh tried to silently get up and get his things. Everything was everywhere and his pounding headache made it so much harder to pick everything up. When he finally finished getting dressed, he heard Gabrielle stir.

“Good morning, babe,” she said. 

“Hey Gab. Listen nothing happened between last night, right? 

She started to giggle, “Well I wouldn’t call that nothing,” she said as she pointed to Suresh’s member. “I had a lot of fun last night. Maybe we can do it again soon” 

“G, you’re a great girl but I can’t. I’m sorry. I have to go.” 

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

You have to tell Gemma. There’s no way out of this you have to tell Gemma. But what do I tell Gemma? What the hell even happened?

Suresh takes an Uber home to wash the smell of tequila and regret off him. He gets dressed and starts to make his way over to Gemma’s apartment. But it’s empty. He calls her. 

“Hello Suresh.” She answers icily on the other line. 

“Babe where are you?” 

“I’m out.” 

“I’m at your apartment, I wanted to see you. Will you be home soon?” 

“No.” 

“G come on. Where are you?” 

With that he heard the key in the lock, and he turned around to find her standing at the doorway. She had a few bags from the market in her hands. 

“Well, are you going to help me then or just stare,” she said as she smirked at him and handed him some bags.

“Should we go out today, I ran all of the errands I needed to run yesterday and this morning,” she said as she put away the groceries. Completely unaware of the absolutely horrific thing Suresh did last night. 

“Resh?” 

“Huh? Oh yeah, let’s go out.” 

She looked at him sideways, “Are you ok?” As she got closer to him, she knew something was up. “You got drunk last night, didn’t you? Oh, and I can see it’s a bad hangover too.” She said laughing. “OK, new plan. We’re ordering really greasy burgers. I’m going to the shops for beers, you need a hair of the dog. Grab some painkillers from my medicine cabinet and a water and relax on the couch. I’ll be back in 10.” 

“Gemma.”

“Hmm?” 

“I don’t think I’ve ever loved you more.” 

She smiled back at him wide. 

Suresh needed time to gather his thoughts. He couldn’t hurt her right now. He knew that if he told her about last night that it would shatter her world. It would be one thing if Gabrielle meant something to Suresh, but Gabrielle meant absolutely nothing to him. He couldn’t even remember sleeping with her or kissing her. Shit, I remember kissing her. I called her G. I thought she was Gemma. Gemma will leave you. You can’t tell Gemma. 

Before he could think about it anymore, Gemma walked back into the apartment. 

“Ok drunky…I come bearing more goods to get you drunk again.” 

That afternoon came and went they watched movies and cuddled on the couch. Suresh decided he would keep Gemma in the dark about his darkest secret.
