food up" aaron said

"done" rob said

"fuck!" aaron said

"what?" joy and rob said in sync

"what am I going to talk about?" aaron said

"y'all ima go upstairs I don't wanna make it suspicious" joy said

"ight thanks joy" rob said giving her a hug and she hugged him right back

"yeah thanks joy" aaron said giving her a high five

joy smiled then waved before making her way upstairs sneaking right back in the makeup room

"your girl is happy" jana said spinning around in her white dress

"yay!" nicole said

"joy where did you go?" leah chuckled once she seen the girl sit at her station

"the bathroom" joy said before scratching her cheek

leah just nodded before it was time for everyone to make their way downstairs

once the girls all walked down the steps the boys were already cheering for them

joy smiled widely wrapping her arms around kordell's neck

"hey beautiful" kordell said

joy smiled before kissing him on the lips and then pulling away

everyone made their way to the table that held their drinks and they cheered in sync before drinking

joy kept eyeing rob was drinking faster basically letting him know it was time

she then looked away and looked at everyone who was talking

after rob was done finishing his drink he set the cup down immediately and started walking away backwards

"damn rob" kordell said once he peeped the boy who made his exit

joy laughed before she noticed kaylor and aaron disappeared

"his asking kaylor to be his girlfriend" kordell said to leah

"really" leah said making joy nod her head

"mhm" joy said

everyone then turned once they seen rob in the clothes he mention to joy earlier with two plates of the pasta she made in his hand

"yes yes yes!" kordell whispered putting his hand in the air hyping up rob

miguel stood infront of joy and kordell dancing with two blue small umbrella caps in his hand

"that's so cute" joy said putting her hands on her mouth

"it is" kordell said put his arm around joy's shoulders with a big smile on his face

"man this is crazy" miguel said

"went off without a hitch" rob said approaching them at the table after he finished giving kaylor and aaron their food

"ima cry" joy said fanning herself making kordell laugh

"no the hell you not" kordell said making joy burst into laughing

"I swear to god kordell get away from me" joy said playfully backing away from him

that's when everyone heard aaron cheering "lets go" which made them all cheer in excitement

"she said yes!" kendall said

"aww!" joy said clapping her hands looking up at the balcony staring at aaron and kaylor kissing

"ow! ow!" rob shouted

"catch me im bout to fall!" joy playfully said acting like she was about to fall back making kordell panic putting out his arms

"now you know damn well she's not about to fall in that mf dress kordell" jana said making joy laugh while she continued to stand on her feet

"stupid" joy said

"man" kordell said waving her off

after a few minutes kordell and joy sat on the bench near the fire pit with their legs tangled together under the warm glow of the flames

the stars above were twinkling but kordell's full attention was on joy who was giving him her signature raised-eyebrow look

"so kordell what's the plan? what are we even doing after this villa? or are you planning to ghost me the second we touch down at the airport?" joy started leaning back with a sly grin

kordell's eyes widened dramatically

"ghost you? girl please! I ain't tryin to end up on love island unseen bits lookin dumb" kordell said making joy laugh nudging his side

"mm hmm so what's the first move then?" joy said

kordell rubbed his hands together pretending to think deeply

"well first? I'm taking you to get some real food none of this villa salad and avocado toast nonsense we're getting wings extra hot" kordell said as joy gave him a playful side-eye

"so your idea of romance is... chicken wings?" joy said

"wings and you? that's love" kordell said leaning closer

joy tried to keep a straight face but a laugh slipped out

"your so ridiculous" joy said

"but you like it tho" kordell shot back confidently

joy rolled her eyes though the smile on her face betrayed her

"okay okay after the wings?" joy said

kordell softened with his voice dropping to a more serious tone

"after that... I'm coming to your place I gotta meet your family make sure they know I'm serious about you" kordell said while joy raised an eyebrow

"you think my aunties are just gonna welcome you with open arms? they're already planning the interrogation" joy said

"shit bring it on they can ask me whatever they want I'll even cook for em" kordell said puffing out his chest while joy burst out laughing

"now that I gotta see you in the kitchen messing up my auntie's pots" joy said

"I can boil water and my cereal game? unmatched" kordell said proudly crossing his arms

"this is why I like you stupid jokes and all" joy said

kordell's cocky expression melted into something soft almost shy

"for real though joy... I just wanna make this work whatever it takes if I gotta fly to your city every weekend I'll do it I don't want this to just be a villa thing" kordell said

joy's heart swelled and for a moment she could feel how serious he was under all the jokes

"I don't either kordell I want us too even with your weird obsession with chicken wings" joy whispered

kordell laughed and pulled her into his arms their foreheads touching

"it's not weird it's just... priorities" kordell said

joy chuckled wrapping her arms around him

"as long as I'm top priority" joy said

"always wings come second" kordell said softly pressing a kiss to her forehead

they both laughed tangled in each other and the kind of happiness that felt effortless

whatever came next they knew they'd face it together hot wings and all

kordell and joy stood up and they went back to the table where everyone was seeing jana and kenny coming from the dock

"I love this outfit I love your heels! is giving mom and dad on vacation" nicole said once they seen jana and kenny walking towards them

"kennyyyy" joy and leah dragged out mockingly

"we had some time on the dock" kenny said

"hey! psa psa we changed the name of the dock" jana shouted to everyone

"not doomsday dock?" kendall said

"it's now the dock of dreams cause I've been dreaming of him asking for us to be closed off and then he asked if we can be closed off" jana told everyone

everyone immediately started screaming and cheering in excitement especially joy and leah

"what is it!?" aaron shouted from the balcony beside kaylor

"they're closed off!" nicole said

"jana and kenny are closed off!" leah said pointing near the two

"lets go!" aaron cheered

"yeah!" kaylor cheered

joy clapped her hands still screaming in excitement right next to leah

the two girls stood up and immediately both held each others hands and jumped and spun in excitement

"joy and leah" jana chuckled at her two friends who stopped

"and kaylor and aaron just became boyfriend and girlfriend" joy said pointing near the balcony

"aw congratulations! congratulations to us yeah!" jana said to kaylor and aaron at the balcony

"we love love!" aaron cheered from the balcony

"we're also getting married by the way so.." jana said playfully

joy laughed before clapping her hands while the others cheered

"nah relax relax" jana said immediately shaking her head while laughing at everyone who was cheering

after the others went their separate ways joy remained at the table taking a picture of jana and kenny

"ohhhh!" leah said in awe while sitting on miguel's lap
