"Wake up you sleepyhead, if we don't get down to practice on time Harriet will kill us," Mandy's voice jerked Jill awake.
Wearily she blinked at the alarm clock, it was almost half past eight.
"Oh shit," she blurted out in surprise.
She jumped up and put on her gym clothes.
"Yeah, yeah, if you hang around at night, you can't get out of bed in the morning," Mandy teased her meanwhile.
"I wasn't hanging out, I was swimming," Jill explained, embarrassed.
Mandy smiled. “You haven't been in the pool.” Jill frowned, and she added, “Don't worry, I'll keep that to myself. I happened to wake up and was on the balcony for a moment, but didn't see you downstairs.”
“I was at the beach,” Jill admitted hesitantly.
"Did you walk to the beach alone in the middle of the night?" Mandy asked, puzzled.
“Mandy, please don't ask, I can't explain this to you. And promise me you won't tell anyone, I don

Jill hadn't expected that Cloe would actually carry out her threat, but as soon as they entered the villa, Harriet's voice shrilled through the open living room door. "Jill - please come in here, I want to speak to you." "Oh God," Mandy whispered anxiously and started to follow Jill, but she stopped her. "You stay here, I'll take care of this myself. It's enough if one of us gets in trouble.” Mandy stood there dejectedly while Jill entered the living room. Harriet and Mick were sitting on the couch, Craig was standing at the window, there was no sign of Cloe. "Sit down," Harriet invited her. Jill flopped down on a couch, looking at Harriet expectantly. "Is it true that you slapped Cloe?" she immediately began with an angry voice. “Yes.” “How yes? Isn't that all you have to say? Do you think it's okay to fight with the other girls here?' snapped Harriet. "No, I don't think so, but I don't think it's okay fo

She had just finished taking a shower and had plopped down on her bed when Mandy came panting into the room. "Oh man, I'm ready for a retirement home if this goes on for a while," she groaned and collapsed onto the bed. "I admire your condition." "It's also slowly decreasing, I had a bad calf cramp a little while ago." "But you were still pretty fast, could you keep running with it?" Mandy asked in surprise and then smiled when she saw Jill blush. "Oh, I see - you weren't alone." Jill gave her an uneasy look. "Listen, I don't want you to get any stupid ideas," she said defensively. "We go swimming together, we run together, and that's all there is to it." "Of course that also explains why you just blushed and why you always get so nervous in the evenings," Mandy grinned. Embarrassed, Jill bowed her head. "Mandy, to be honest, I have no idea what's going on," she admitted quietly. “Yes, I'm attracted to Craig, I like being with him, but I kno

"Oh no, please not again," she thought in panic. She looked around frantically, there was no way she would lie down under the bed again, she remembered the experience of the last time all too clearly. She quickly rushed into the bathroom, if she was lucky he would only stay for a short time, it wasn't very long until the bus would leave. She quietly closed the door so far that only a very small gap remained open, through which she carefully peered out. The door opened, Craig took a step into the room, then turned back. "Give me just a moment, I'll be right down," he said to someone in the hallway whom Jill couldn't see from where she was standing. The other person mumbled something. "Yes, I'm in a hurry, I just want to take a quick shower," Craig replied, audibly indignant, and closed the door. 'Oh my God,' Jill thought, horrified, 'that can't be true.' She stepped back from the door, feverishly trying to figure out what to do next. She looked aro

Jill hadn't felt as comfortable as she did that evening in a long time. The food was excellent and the red wine was also delicious. As they chatted animatedly, Jill's eyes kept wandering out to sea, where the sunset was showing off its full blaze of color. When the last rays of sun sank into the sea, Craig lit a small kerosene lamp. Jill was completely relaxed and enjoying Craig's company. They chatted with each other in a completely relaxed and informal manner. She found herself becoming more and more attracted to him and wished she could sit here with him forever. Craig shared a few anecdotes from the previous Super Model season, but kept a low profile about his personal life. "What do you do when you're not stumbling down a catwalk in a bikini?" he asked at some point. Hastily, Jill grabbed her wine glass and took a long sip. She thought hard about what she had written on the questionnaire that all the girls had to fill out before entering the villa.

As she fell, Jill gave a startled little scream, but two arms grabbed her and set her safely on the ground. Distraught, she spun around to see Craig standing in front of her, staring at her in disbelief. "Jill, what the hell are you doing?" "There was a big spider," she blurted out, frantic. "Aha, that explains everything, of course," he said dryly, and Jill got the impression he was having a hard time suppressing a grin. "She must have been pretty clingy, following you up here from your balcony, along the wall." She shrugged helplessly, not knowing what to say. Shaking his head, he pushed her to a chair, placed his hands on her shoulders and gently forced her to sit down. Then he sat down on the edge of the table opposite her. »First you're standing half-naked in my bathroom, now you're climbing around out there and you're about to break your neck. - Wouldn't you like to explain to me what's going on here? And don't tell me you wanted

The next morning began as usual with a nerve-wracking breakfast. Even though Lilly had already left and there were only six girls in the house besides Jill and Mandy, the noise and chaos hadn't abated a bit. "God, I'm so glad I don't have to listen to that gibberish for a couple of days," Jill said, exasperated, once they were back upstairs in her room. "You're lucky," sighed Mandy, who had progressed on the show but wasn't allowed to go to Las Vegas. Jill stroked her arm comfortingly. »Next time it's your turn.« »Oh, I'm happy for you«, Mandy smiled, »You deserve it, your shoot was really great and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Vegas is great, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.” “I hope so,” Jill smiled, and started packing her things for the trip. "Er..." Mandy, who had been watching her, suddenly cleared her throat. "I don't mean to bitch, but you can't walk around in those clothes." Jill frow

Heart still pounding, Jill threw her phone on the bed and rushed to the bathroom. Normally she didn't need much time to get ready, she didn't care much about styling and other embellishments. But today she definitely wanted to look good, she wanted to please Craig, and thirty minutes didn't feel like enough for that.She hurriedly jumped into the shower, washed her hair and hoped that the hotel hair dryer would be enough to get her dry in time. Then she carefully creamed herself and then rummaged through her suitcase in search of underwear. Despite her misgivings, she had packed some sheer lingerie and quickly slipped into tiny black lace knickers and a matching bra. She pulled on the new dress, struggled with the zipper for a moment and then put on the high heels.She rushed back to the bathroom, where she blow-dried her hair until it was halfway dry and falling in soft waves over her shoulders. As always, she didn't wear makeup, and tonight it wasn't necessary anyway

Jill woke up to something pressing against her back. Slowly she came to, blinked in irritation, wanted to turn around, but the arm that encircled her waist prevented her from doing so. At the same moment, the memory kicked in again. She closed her eyes comfortably and snuggled contentedly to Craig, who was lying behind her."What have we done?" she sighed softly."A lot of things," he smiled sleepily, "Would you like me to tell you?""No, not necessary," she murmured, embarrassed, knowing only too well what they had done together the previous night.He kissed her neck tenderly. 'Should I be concerned that you don't remember how I love you?''You should be concerned about what will happen if this comes out. There's going to be a huge scandal.""It was worth it," he grinned. "Besides, I could tell Harriet that you're not as boring, clumsy, and uptight as she always says.""Craig, that is not funny. We're goin
