“Bitch! Oh my god, Love Island is coming to Central City.” Linda said as she starts on her fifth and last piece of pizza of the night as a slow smile creeps on her face. “Bitch we’re signing up for Love Island!”
“What?” Iris says as she's now washing the conditioner out of her hair in the shower.
Linda runs to Iris’s room and pulls back the curtain to the shower. “Girl how long are you gonna stay in here, I was calling you.” All Iris can do is roll her eyes. Linda and Iris have been best friends since college they started their own digital newspaper called “The Citizen” that’s still in its beginning stages and have been living together for one year after spending three years as dorm mates in college. So since they’re practically sister and Linda is all for women empowerment and body positivity she has no problem walking in on Iris doing anything, ANYTHING and vice versa (Iris is still trying to get the vision out of her head of her psych college professor ass in the air as he was going down on Linda).
“What? Do you need me to stay in my room again so you and Tony can have some alone time,” Iris says in a seductive drawl and wiggled her eyebrows as she steps out the shower.
“Ew hell no. I got rid of him last week after I went through his phone and saw he was in love with Tisha, Lucy, oh and Troy.” Linda says matter of factly while handing Iris a dry towel. “But that’s beside the point. The point is I’m signing us up for Love Island. It’s coming to Central City!” Linda exclaims with her famous I’m getting into something way over my head and were doing it together smile.
“Signing us up to what now?”
“Love Island the big dating show.”
“Oh, no I am not going on a fake reality tv show,” Iris says.
“Okay, besides the point that it's a reality tv show and we know the stigma that comes along with that.”
“Right-,” Iris says as she deadpans Linda while putting lotion on.
“We have all these pros. Lets count shall we. Number one hot guys, two... summer, three hot guys, four partying, five it’s free food and drinks all day, six bikini shopping in wintertime equals discounts, seven hot guys oh and the biggest pro a hundred thousand dollars that you know would be so beneficial for our paper.” Linda says out of breath with her eyes widen.
“Okay, Lin breathe. Be honest besides the fact that we need the money for the paper why do you want us to do this so badly.” Iris says looking at Linda through the mirror as she combs through her hair.
“Listen, Iris, I just want to have fun and you know of course free food and money,” she says nonchalantly. “But you deserve this and I don’t just mean the money. You and I both know one of us is going to win of course,...and we can’t live together forever… I know it’s been a while since the whole debacle with Scott but I really think this will be good for you to get yourself back out there and fall in love or at the very least get some good dick so I see this as a win-win.” Linda ends the statement with her cheeky smile.
“I-” Iris about to interject.
“And don’t even say you do or how do I even know if you get good dick or not because we share a wall and its very thin.” Both girls burst out into laughter. “Okay.”
“Okay, what?” Linda asks confusingly.
“Okay sign me, both of us up.” Iris can’t believe she actually agreed to Linda’s weak proposal of them doing this fake reality tv show. But they do need the money if they really want to build “The Citizen” into this big corporation that she’s always dreamed of owning. Linda runs up and hugs Iris while screaming. “Trust me we’ll have fun plus everything’s free and possibly we will find the love of our lives, and win A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, HONEY,” Linda says sarcastically in her best RuPaul voice.
“I have a feeling I’m going to regret this” Iris whispers under her breath as she already hears Linda typing away at her computer while simultaneously asking where her Id is.
