Love Island [2021]

Welcome the new girl

Last time on Love Island...

There were goodbyes...

"Lucinda's going to be staying. I'm going"

"I'm sorry"

Competition...

"It's time to lock horns and ruffle feathers in today's boys vs girls challenge...Whoever wins gets a new arrival of the opposite sex!"

"Let's do this!"

Kaz: Well the boys won so that means a new girl's coming in

And hellos....

"Eyes on the prize boys!" 

"You nervous yet?"

"No"

Ivy POV

We continued to sit up on that roof terrace for a long time and the boys could be heard chatting to AJ

I didn't care or feel threatened by her but I knew Teddy was attractive so there was a chance she would have her eyes on him

But eventually the producers told us we were allowed down to the garden so together we walked outside

"Odds on spilling a drink on her?" Faye whispered

"5" I grinned and we laughed quietly "Eyes on the prize" I mimicked again as we walked out and the others joined in laughing

AJ walked over to us and introduced herself to each of us "Hi I'm AJ"

"I'm Ivy" I responded and as much as I wanted to go kiss Teddy, I knew AJ would see it as me marking my territory, so instead I just stood by Faye and the boys left while we talked to AJ

"Tell us about yourself" Lucinda said to her

"I'm AJ, I'm 28, I'm half English, half Filipino, and I've been single for two and a half years. I'm a girl's girl so I will be honest with you all but I've also got to make moves" She explained

"Have you got your eyes on anyone?" Faye asked

"They all have something I like about them" She answered and continued to explain what kind of qualities she looked for in a man

We had a toast to welcome her to the villa before splitting off and me and Faye went to sit by the sun beds

"Oh my god" Faye whispered "She is an older version of you. You're both brunette, both petite, both confident and fiery-"

"Yeah but I've got nice lips and she doesn't" I laughed "I'm not worried about Teddy but if she tries to put her duck lips near his imma throw a drink on her"

"Fair enough" She grinned 

"Hey, can I borrow my girl for a second?" Teddy asked as he approached us

"I'll leave you lovebirds to it" Faye teased and headed off before Teddy sat on the sun bed facing mine

"What's up?" I asked him

"I wanted to see how you're doing with AJ coming in" He said "You okay?"

"Yeah" I shrugged "She's really similar to me"

"I know" He nodded "At first when I met her I realised how your personalities are similar but the differences are so clear. When she smiles it doesn't make me smile, when she laughs I don't automatically laugh and smile about how adorable it sounds, when she looks me in the eyes it doesn't make my heart jump. You're the only girl with that effect on me"
