The two sisters and you

For the rest of the date, you listened contently to Evelyn talk about her school life and her social media side gig. She seemed to be enamored by instant gratification based on your own presumptions, though you couldn’t blame her. The two of you somehow manage to get along like you’ve been friends for the longest time and were catching up. During a lengthy rant she went on about how Nezuko should never be with Zenitsu, you watched her level up to Acquaintances in your logs that appear in your vision provided by the Affection Multiplier App.

Sometime later, the crew signals the end of the date, which annoyed you to no end. You wanted to spend more time with Evelyn and shoot the shit, but grit your teeth and follow commands. Getting up, you notice Paige is hunched over and looks like she was sleeping on the table during her date with a befuddled Brad watching her and wondering what to do. You help Paige, now a bit tipsy, to the shuttle van. Brad and Evelyn both follow and sit next to each other on one side of the backseats facing you and Paige on the rear side of the backseats of the vehicle. Paige’s head was drooping every which way down and towards your shoulder, and she made occasional belching and pre-vomit sounds.

“How the hell did she get so much to drink?” You ask Brad.

Brad had a southern drawl to his voice that reminded you of a classic western cowboy and says, “Beats me, man. I think the crew (production team) told the waiter to just keep sending her more vodka shots. I tried to get her to stop.”

Paige starts laughing softly and slurs her words, “Come on, you guys have to live a little. *HIC*”

Evelyn stares on in a bit of second-hand embarrassment, and you rub Paige’s back as she leans forward with her eyes slightly closed and looks like she’s holding her breath.

“She always couldn’t handle her ****,” Evelyn says with a slight frown. “We might want to tell the driver to pull over if she vomits.”

“*hic* Shut up you don’t know me, Eve,” Paige says, and then she clings towards you, grabbing and then clutching your arms. “I saw the way you flirted with my man… STAY AWAY. *hic* He’s mine and Jenna’s.”

As Paige says this, she clutches harder and possessively like a child over a toy, the softness of her body overwhelm the side of your body where she drapes over you, and her lips make smooching motions towards your face and you back away.

“STAY STILL DAMNIT! I wuv you so much, and you can’t even *hic* kiss me,” Paige says, still trying to smooch you.

“You’re drunk. Get a grip,” You say, pushing Paige away, not really in the mood to take advantage of drunk Paige.

Ignoring you, Paige inches closers and buries her face in your shoulder, wiping some of the spit on your shirt, which you found endearing at first and then uncomfortable soon after.

“I thought you guys were split? That’s what she said at least,” Brad observes.

“It’s more like a break,” You answer. Though you were not so sure yourself.

“My sister can sometimes say things she doesn’t mean,” Evelyn says.

“Half-sister,” Paige burps, her forehead now buried in your neck.

Evelyn has a sad look on her face as she watches Paige scornfully look at her and then close her eyes and continue nuzzling her head into you.

When the car pulls to the villa gates, you help Paige out, and she starts puking onto the grass that lined the front of the resort. You carry Paige into the main house and up the stairs and lay her down on the bed. Inside the villa, the rest of the islanders all make their acquaintances with the new islanders. Mona seems particularly interested in Brad for her own reasons. That girl never changes.

“Wow, you look so much like Paige,” Jenna remarks. “Are you two related?”

“Yeah… we both share the same father but different mothers,” Evelyn says.

“Brad, what do you do?” Mona asks, her hands twirling her hair, and she grazes his arm.

“I’m a quarterback for the Texans,” Brad brags in his Texas drawl.

At that, all the girls in the villa looked impressed. Mona and Liz both pester Brag with more questions, which makes Mike and Rick both look insecure watching from behind with their arms crossed, and Evelyn manages to escape and pokes you during the initial prodding of Brad and says, “Hey, can we talk?”

“Sure,” You say.

“By the pool?” Evelyn asks.

You nod and follow her, and you pull out your phone. You were curious about Evelyn and wanted to check her detailed profile, pulling your phone out during your walk towards the poolside.

That was a perfect start with Evelyn. Why are you even thinking about that? Warning signs are there with Evelyn, not only would she be another girl, she was Paige’s sister. There is no better way to burn your bridges with Paige then by hooking up with her sister. On the other hand… Evelyn was physically similar to Paige, but you could experience a new start with her. She enjoyed the same type of things you enjoyed, and her personality meshed well with you. Your head does what it naturally does and imagine a life together down the road where you are playing Mario Kart 30 in your old age. But then you remind yourself of Jenna and also Paige. No way. You would just have to settle for being friends with Evelyn. But… I mean, if you guys were perfect for each other, why stop it?

When you arrive near the pool, you sit in opposite beanie bag chairs and speak up first, “What’s up?”

“Matt, tell me the truth. I don’t want to step on Paige’s toes, and I’m already in trouble with her, so you have to let me know… if I flirt with you, will there be problems?” Evelyn asks, probably referring back to the drive over to the villa.

“Paige doesn’t own me, and she’s her own woman. She’s made that clear. If you flirt with me, there may be problems regardless. I’m tied to a lot of different women right now, and I don’t think it’s right if I reciprocate anything… I mean, I think you are really pretty and my type but… I’d be an asshole to ignore what I have with Paige and Jenna right now,” You say, failing to mention the one other girl that you were fooling around with. Though Mona was a complete wildcard and you had no idea what would happen with her and yourself.

Evelyn nods with a slight smile and sigh and then says, “Thank you for that. I’m not going to lie and say I’m like… not disappointed, but I get it.”

“Are there any other guys you’re interested in here?” You ask.

“Physically? I mean… you guys are all really cute, but… none of these guys are my type besides you,” Evelyn says. “I… I don’t know why I even went on this show. It's really not my thing. Maybe I just did it for more followers...”

“I think you did it to spend time with your sister.”

Evelyn looks away and then smiles sadly, “Maybe.”

A silence follows, and Evelyn speaks up, “Can I ask you a favor?”

“Sure.”

“I’m probably going to only last a week here, but I want to make it count. Can you help me get closer to Paige?” Evelyn pleads.

“I’ll try, but… I don’t know if I can do anything about that. I mean, I’m trying to fix things with Paige myself, but she’s pretty mad at me right now.”

“Paige… really likes you. From her confession videos, it’s mostly been about you and her feelings about you. Jenna and Paige are friends despite both of them wanting to be with you. It’s weird, but I think somehow you connected them together. Like, they totally didn’t seem that interested in being friends until you brought them together.”

It’s not that weird. The Relationship Party Menu helped speed that along. Evelyn seems to genuinely care about her sister, and maybe this was important to Paige as well, but she couldn’t admit it to herself. If you could somehow unlock another slot within the Relationship Party Menu, then you can add Evelyn and have her connect better with Paige and reconcile their differences. That presented another problem. For Evelyn to be in the Relationship Party Menu, she would have to be at least at the level of Romantic Interest. Since you had a great start with her and the AMA on your side, that wasn’t that difficult to do, but the bigger problem was adding another girl in your already messy situation. You could just help her and not go anywhere with Evelyn.

“I have an idea of how you can connect with Paige, but it’s going to sound really sleazy that I would suggest it,” You say.

Evelyn perks up, and you can see her getting a bit excited that there was hope to fix things between her and Paige. She asks, “What is it?”

“Umm… well, about that… we might have to pretend we are interested in each other and maybe kiss…” You say, when the words left your mouth, they sounded as sketchy as they felt.

Evelyn eyes you suspiciously and then smiles knowingly, “Oh my gosh. Weren’t you the one that said that was a bad idea? Now you want me to kiss you?”

“I know, I know, but… if Paige sees me kissing you, the first thing she’ll do is confront you. It might be rough at first, but at least she’ll be talking to you, right?”

Evelyn starts laughing, throwing her ponytail back and adjusting her glasses and then says, “Is this one of your lines? Is this how you do it?”

“What? No, I’m serious,” You say, though thinking about it, it did seem like it was an excuse to kiss her. “Besides, you already kissed me. I don’t see the big problem.”

“What if you fall for me?” Evelyn says, her eyebrow raised and her body leaning forward so you can see her ample cleavage display in front of you like a landing officer giving you the okay.

No way that could happen. Your heart was already in three places. You shrug. “Worry about yourself.”

With a still suspicious look on her face, Evelyn stretches and says, “I’m game if you are.”

You both stare at each other for a long while in a tense and awkward silence. Without knowing what to do, a notification appears in your vision.

Should I do it now? Wait, that just seems really weird and random to ask it. Another silence ensues before Evelyn speaks up again.

“By the way… what do you guys do all day? They disable the internet on our phones, and there aren’t any games or TV here.” Evelyn asks.

“Mostly talk and workout. That or do confessionals and wait for the producers to text us,” You say, putting a hand underneath your chin and feeling Evelyn’s impending boredom for the rest of the day.

Well, now was a good as time as any.

“You want to play a game?” You ask.

“Oh? What game?” Evelyn asks, curious and straightening up.

“Truth or dare,” You say, and a smile crept on Evelyn's face as if she knew exactly the type of questions and dares she had in mind.
