Kelsea slid into her new track suit quickly, being careful to tuck the teddy into the pants. She pulled her boots on and they all made their way through the jungle towards the cave. By now Louis had managed, with Liam’s help, to get Izzy back inside and on her bed. Kelsea was relieved to hear Izzy cursing at them as they made their way inside. “I have never met such a group of arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless, frat-boy, low-life, butt-faced miscreant, jerks before in my whole entire life and I really hope that I’m not carrying either one of your satan spawn because I just don’t think I could bare it!”

“Izzy calm down,” Kelsea soothed, kneeling next to Izzy to have a look at her head. After a good 30 minutes of listening to Izzy go on and on about the guys, the game and the stupid island. Kelsea was near exhaustion.

“Okay, because Izzy lost consciousness for a bit, she needs someone to stay up with her and keep her awake for the next 24 hours. In case she has a concussion.”

“I’ll do it,” Kelsea sighed.

Ellen shook her head ‘no’, “Sorry, it’s back to the plane for you 3 tonight. It’s your reward and you must get it. Louis you will stay with Izzy, here in the cave. Liam and Harry, you will spend the next 24 hours in the jungle. Neither of you is permitted back into the cave until after the 24 hours are up.”

Louis couldn’t help but grin inwardly to himself. This was his chance to get to know Izzy and to fix things with her. He just hoped she would give him the chance to make things right.
Liam and Harry paced nervously at the edge of the cave. Harry was rattled with guilt and Liam was distressed beyond belief. How could Harry have let her fall like that? He would like to march over and knock every curl off of Harry's head. He couldn't do that though, it would just put him in a worse place with Izzy. He was going to have to sort things out with her eventually. She could be carrying his child. She could have died from that head wound. Harry was going to pay for this somehow, some way.

Jacques, feeling the tension in camp, swung out of his treetop hiding place and crawled on his knuckles over to Harry. With no more warning than a small ‘chitter’, he made, hot sweet monkey love to Harry's leg. No matter how hard Harry shook, he couldn't dislodge the monkey. Jacques. A minute or so later Jacques made a high pitched squeal and discharged monkey love juice all over Harry's leg. Liam fell to the ground laughing as Harry began to cry, "Don't laugh, Liam, he used my leg for a sex doll."

"Monkeys need love too, Styles, monkeys need love too."

Kelsea trudged back to the plane, her backside now aching. She didn't realize how big Niall was but she was feeling it now. In fact her whole lower half ached. Why couldn't she just say no to them? Why did she want them so bad? Why did she still want them? Her body may be sore but she was abuzz with sexual need. She decided the best thing to do would be to grab a delicious snack out of the kitchen and sleep a few hours. She enjoyed every second of being with Zayn and Niall, why did she have to feel so shitty now? It just wasn't fair, why couldn't she just let herself go, even for a moment. This was all so hard, why couldn't she just say 'yes it happened' and move on. She looked down at the candy bar in her hand and ripped the paper open. This better be some damn magic chocolate.

“Are you okay Kelsea?” Zayn asked, as she turned to head back down to bed.

“I guess. Good night.” she murmured. Zayn ran his hands through his hair and watched Kelsea go. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he wasn’t sure if she would believe any of it considering what happed in the tub.

“Go talk to her mate.” Niall mumbled from beside him.

“Y-You wouldn’t mind?” Zayn asked somewhat shocked.

“Of course I mind, but after what happened in the bathroom, I think you owe it to her.

Besides, unlike the other idiots out there, I don’t want to go adding any ingredients to the mix. I like her to much for that. This way there won’t be any confusion as to the baby’s father, should she get pregnant.”

“Thanks Niall. Just so you know, I really like her too. It wasn’t just sex for me.”

Niall nods his head in understanding and just as Zayn gets up to go find Kelsea he grumbles, “Don’t hurt her mate.” Zayn smiles, he definitely doesn’t want to hurt Kelsea.

Kelsea glances at the clock on the bedside table. It’s after 11 pm and she’s tired. She curls up under the blankets and relishes the warmth and comfort of the huge, soft bed. It’s only after her lids start to feel heavy that she feels the blankets being pulled back and the mattress dips.

“Are you awake?” Zayn whispers in her ear.

“Sort of,” Kelsea answers.

“I just wanted you to know that I’m truly sorry, you just felt so good that I got lost in you. I was wrapped up in the fantasy that it was just you and I, and that you felt the same way about me as I feel about you,”

“Oh.” Kelsea said, somewhat shocked. She couldn’t believe Zayn just said that to her, they hardly know each other. “Zayn, I’m most definitely physically attracted to you, but we hardly know each other.”

“Then let’s get to know each other Kelsea. We have all night.” Zayn said simply. He grasped her waist in his hand and turned her around so that she was facing him. Kelsea gasped at the raw beauty of the man that lay beside her. His skin was perfectly darkened and soft as silk. His eyes stared at her with an intensity that made Kelsea’s stomach twist into a tight knot. She gave her head a small shake to try to clear the fog.

“I-I thought it was just a game to you and that now that you, you know… made your deposit you were going to move on to Izzy,” she confessed.

“Oh Kelsea, no. You are so much more than just a game to me.”

“You have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that,” Kelsea whispered, with a smile. For the next few hours Kelsea and Zayn talked and laughed together. He told her all about X-Factor and how they were discovered by Simon, his past relationships, his hopes and dreams for the future and even how they came to be on this island and a part of this game, which he admitted now, was the stupidest idea ever. Kelsea asked a few questions here and there, especially when he talked about his past relationships, but overall she just listened in silent fascination.

Then when it was her turn, she told Zayn about her life, which compared to his was completely dull and uneventful. How she and Izzy first met, their exploits growing up, her only relationship in high school and how it ended badly. How she plays the guitar and sings hoping to one day be discovered, and even how they found the ad in the paper and that neither her or Izzy had no clue who ‘One Direction’ were until that first audition day at the studio. Zayn listened in disbelief. He thought all the girls knew who they were, but he didn’t say that out loud because he didn’t want to sound conceited.

It was well past 3 am when Zayn heard Kelsea’s tummy growl and went out to the small kitchen to grab some grapes and a couple of the Starbucks coffees. Niall had curled up on the sofa watching some horror movie and had fallen asleep. He really liked Niall at the minute. Had it been any of the others, he wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to spend tonight with Kelsea. Back in the bedroom, he and Kelsea sat at opposite ends of the bed and tried to throw the grapes in each others mouths, breaking into fits of laughter when they’d miss and end up hitting each other in the face. After they’d eaten their fill, Kelsea lay back down and Zayn lay next to her.

“I’m glad it was you,” Kelsea murmured, her eyes drooping.

Zayn kissed the corner of her mouth and pulled her close. “I’m glad it was me too.”

Izzy sat on the mattress holding her head. All the fight had left her and now there was just a dull ache in her head. Maybe she should just stop arguing and let Louis take care of her. She was always used to taking care of herself and making sure Kelsea was alright. Maybe, just maybe she could relinquish control to Louis for the night and let him look after her. She was really just too tired to be stubborn. She saw Lou fussing through the kit and backpacks. He was trying so hard to take good care of her while she was in his charge. Louis sat next to her holding a blue pill from Ellen's first aid kit and a fresh bottle of water, "It's called an Aleve. It's supposed to work faster than the other pills. Take it, I want you to feel better."

Izzy gratefully took it and chugged the whole bottle of water. She didn't realize how thirsty she was. "Thanks, Lou. For everything."

Louis looked at her carefully, trying to hide his surprise, "Are you sure you didn't hit your head harder than we saw? You're not trying to curse me out and rip me a new asshole. Sure you're okay?"

"Tired, Lou. Of fighting, bitching, cock blocking. Where does it get me? Oh, yeah, almost killed."

"Come here. How about if I just huggle you for a little while?"

It was Izzy's turn to give Louis a funny look, "Huggle?"

"Cuddle hug, come on, sit with me, yeah?"

Izzy decided that it would probably be best if she just went along with it and let him hold her. She could use some comfort anyway. It's not like Louis would hurt her like Liam or Harry did. She curled into his lap and laid her head on his chest. When his arms slowly wrapped around her, she instantly felt at peace. That had never happened for her before. Izzy relaxed fully against him and slid her arms around his waist, "You're right, Lou, huggles are pretty nice."

"Mmm hmm, they really are," he said, kissing the top of her head.

Izzy was trying so hard not to fall asleep. Between Lou's lap and the pill, she knew sleep was going to pull her under sooner rather than later. At least until they heard a high pitched girly scream. Izzy and Lou both jumped to their feet and ran out of the cave. Izzy thought it was Kelsea screaming so she looked around frantically for her friend only to see Liam on the ground laughing and Harry hopping around on one leg screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Son of a bitch!", Izzy yelled at him. "You had me thinking Kels was in trouble."

"S-s-sorry Izz. He was just-just accosted by the monkey and his leg was used to satisfy monkey sexual frustration. I told him monkeys need love too but he wouldn't listen," Liam told her ,laughing so hard, he was almost breathless.

Izzy knelt down and held out her arms to Jacques, who was now laying on the ground, pleased with himself. He hopped up and slowly walked to Izzy. She scratched his head telling him what a good boy he was. He seemed happy that Izzy was okay and tried to monkey kiss her cheek, "No, baby boy. All your kisses are for Harry now. He's your bitch."
Hearing those words, Jacques gave a big grin and hopped back to Harry, leaping onto his shoulder. Lou wrapped an arm around Izzy, "You know Jacques, Harry might like some monkey love in his ear."

Liam laughed even harder as Harry scowled at both of them. Izzy smirked and reached into her pocket, pulling out a tiny candy she got from her bag earlier. She tossed it to the little monkey and turned on Harry, "He always does what I say, it just takes a little treat."
Harry stood there with his mouth open wide as Izzy and Lou walked back inside the cave. Did she have that monkey do what he did or was she giving him candy to do something even worse? Harry was a little afraid now.

"Better close that mouth Harry, who knows where that monkey will aim next," Liam cackled. He was laughing so hard his ribs hurt.

Lou knew he had to keep Izzy awake but it was getting hard for even him to keep his eyes open. She sat in his lap almost asleep herself. Maybe a little sleep would be okay. No, he had to stay awake and keep her awake. He began telling her about his life before fame and his little acting rolls. How he was the class clown. She perked up a little more, seeing him talking so animatedly to her. She told him about how she and Kelsea had no idea who they were before this. Louis was actually glad. This was they wouldn't know about all the rumours, Larry, and the bullshit that came along with being One Direction.

"Izzy, can I tell you something?"

"You know you can, Lou, don't be silly."

"When it's time to switch, I don't think I want to. I want to stay with you. Kelsea is a great girl, don't take me wrong. I just want you Iz."

Izzy didn't know what to say. After what happened the other night, she had convinced herself he didn't want her at all. That is was all just a joke… a game. Izzy knew deep in her heart she had already fallen for this real life Peter Pan but could she let him know that too? If she did, would he run for the hills? That's what usually happened to her.

"She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "I love you, Louis"
