That was a philosophy that ought to be adopted by more people inside this villa.<br/><br/>-"Clean slate tomorrow." he repeated with a small smirk and shook Matt's hand. He wasn't completely sure though, if Matt had meant a clean slate for everyone or just them. Because he still had a beef he wasn't going to leave ungrilled with Grace since she had just wondered off in the middle of it. The fact that she seemed to think Victor didn't care about the situation with Olivia annoyed him in two ways; the fact that she'd even wonder around actually thinking that, and that she obviously did so without learning all the facts first. That would just have to be straightened out.<br/><br/>When Matt walked off, Victor turned to face Cassie with an amused puff of the cheeks, as if to say "holy fuck, what a day". Letting go off her hand, he cupped her pretty face gently in his large hands and smiled down at her.<br/><br/>-"I got<i>one </i>last thing that I need to do, then I'm all yours, beautiful.." he announced, grazing the fair skin on her cheeks with his thumbs reassuringly.<br/><br/>-"Wait here for me will you? I'll just be a minute.." he said and let go of her. -"I got a surprise for you." he revealed  with a mischievous smirk on his face and a hint of pride on his tone as he backed away from her, and then spun around and started walking away, passing Marcus, Hans and (supposedly) Dom by the bar. He had heard Hans speak when him and Dom arrived, and wasn't looking to be rude, so he'd pause and explain that he had to head out.<br/><br/>-"Sorry, as much as I'd love to chat for a bit, I have to go find Rebeckah before she leaves." he explained and offered each of them a look and a smile. He'd offer Dom a longer look and a small nod, as if to silently say "thank you", since he suspected she was the one who had saved him at the voting. He'd have to talk to her about that at a later time, though. Perhaps he was wrong too, maybe it was Olivia who did it. He then made his way to the bedroom, hoping Rebeckah would still be around. He went there first because he assumed she might still be packing.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

<span>Spoiler: <span class="bbCodeSpoiler-button-title">Victor's and Rebeckah's ending scene</span></span>
</span></button>
<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
<div class="bbCodeBlock-content"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">Victor left the scene in order to find Rebeckah. As angry as he had been with her, as betrayed as he had felt, he understood why she had done it and wanted to end things on good terms with her. For all he knew, they could remain good friends outside of this madhouse.<br/>
<br/>
Assuming she'd be packing up her stuff, he went to the bedrooms and walked in on her doing just that - packing. He paused in the doorway, observing her for a brief moment until he finally spoke.<br/>
<br/>
-"It should be me who's packing." he said, remaining in the doorway for now since he had no idea who that scene would develop.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 102, 255)">Rebeckah was startled by Victor's sudden presence. She had thought for sure she was going to have the opportunity to sneak out quietly after his attention had landed on Arisa. Victor hadn't deserved to be put in the situation she had put him in. Truthfully, she felt bad that she had even come in at all since it seemed to ruin him on the island.<br/>
<br/>
"Don't say that." The brunette told him sternly, a deep frown forming on her face. The audience and the islanders had made the right choice to save him. Victor would have been much better off if she'd never shown up. If they had never gotten to talking last night. Besides, the vote that saved him hadn't been a choice between the two of them. If things had gone differently, they might have been walking out together.<br/>
<br/>
"You deserve to be here as much as anyone else out there." She said grabbing a few more articles of clothing to throw into her suitcase. It had been two days. Maybe she wouldn't have even unpacked to begin with if she had known she was going to be leaving this soon.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">-"Hm.." he hummed amusedly, still puzzled anyone could think that after the shit he had done. He then fell silent for a moment before slowly walking into the room.<br/>
<br/>
-"I was so mad at you back there.." he finally admitted and sat down on the foot end of the bed next to the one her suitcase sat on. The way he phrased it hinted that he wasn't anymore, though.<br/>
<br/>
-"I just thought that we'd clean up the mess we had made together, you know..?" he said, turning his head to look her way. While he had a hunch regarding what this was all about, he still didn't know for sure. And so he paused there, as if to offer her a chance to explain why she had done what she did.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 102, 255)">"I know. " She said sadly. Though he moved closer, she couldn't bring herself to look at him. Instead, she kept her face turned toward the task at hand as she considered what he was saying.<br/>
<br/>
"It's just..." She didn't even know how to explain herself. How could someone possibly explain bailing on someone they had formed a connection with like that?<br/>
<br/>
"Victor, I never told you the full reason I was here." It was something she had never planned to tell anybody, especially not while she was on the show. But hey, she was leaving in mere minutes now anyways, wasn't she?</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">-"Hm?" he hummed again and looked up when she said that last part, curiosity but also a hint of concern in his tone and on his features. God, she wasn't going to tell him that it was agreed upon with the producers that she was only going to be here for two days and stir shit up as much as she could for viewer entertainment, and that he had been her victim, was she? As unlikely as that seemed, his mind was in a weird state right now after everything that had happened that night, and so he was more susceptible to things than he normally was, and thus couldn't help but let that thought cross his mind.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 102, 255)">Finally closing the final drawer and zipping up the suitcase, Rebeckah moved it down to stand on the floor. Then she sat on the end of the bed, across from Victor. Still her eyes hadn't met his. Instead, she found a place on the floor before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.<br/>
<br/>
"I haven't given anybody the time of day since I was a teenager." She confessed. It wasn't quite what she needed to tell him but her story wouldn't make sense without that tidbit. "After I figured out that all love is is just pain and abandonment, I threw myself into work, into the company. There's not much I don't know about the corporation and how to run it but..."<br/>
<br/>
She had to take a deep breath. Then she looked up at him, holding her fists as close to her body as she could. "I didn't know I was even submitted for this show until I got the letter. My family submitted me just to make sure I had no possible excuse for not giving love a shot again."<br/>
<br/>
There it was: her real secret, the one the producers never shared with her fellow castmates. She had never planned to be there in the first place. She had planned to stick around just to please her family and felt only one qualm about leaving so early.<br/>
<br/>
"Victor, what I felt with you.." She started again, offering little time for the man to speak yet only speaking slowly. "I know it was real. At least for me it was. But... You brought out a different side of me. You brought out a side of me I haven't seen since I was a teen, one that threw logic to the wind and let emotions run things..."<br/>
<br/>
"When I came in here, I promised myself that I would be smart, that I would stick around and try to open up. But I never expected to meet someone like you... Someone I thought I could truly fall for. And after everything I've been through, it scared me."<br/>
<br/>
"I couldn't pick you because I knew I would fall for you. I was already starting to..." She finished, finally being able to stop talking. She didn't know why she couldn't stop herself from admitting everything. But now that everything was out there, she hoped he wouldn't blame her when he looked back on this experience.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">The slight concern on his face melted away once she began to speak, and it was clear that his fear of having been made the complete fool wasn't a fact. Instead, Rebeckah got very personal and he shifted in his seat to face her better, listening curiously, though a concerned frown graced his face when she brought up her past. As she kept talking, saying those nice things about him, he couldn't help but smile a little and feel those god damn tears building up behind his eyes again. Fuck, he was emotional today. But to be fair, he had felt like crap over the Olivia situation and had, at times, genuinely started to doubt himself and believe that he might actually be a bad person. So hearing Rebeckah saying that, being the person who had been right there in the centre of it all with him, it meant more than she could ever imagine.<br/>
<br/>
-"Wow.." he chuckled through it and looked over at her, unable to find words at first.<br/>
<br/>
-"You are an <i><b>amazing</b></i> person, Rebeckah." be began, emphasizing the key word.<br/>
<br/>
-"And I really hope that you start opening yourself up to the world after this because honestly, the world is missing out." he teased with a small chuckle.<br/>
<br/>
-"As for us.. Know that I felt it too. And who knows what could have happened if the two of us had met at a bar somewhere like normal people, you know?" he offered another emotional chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. He then rose to his feet and walked up to her.<br/>
<br/>
-"Just know that I don't regret meeting you, Rebeckah." he then said in a more serious tone and smiled down at her, his eyes slightly red with emotion. -"And I don't regret what went down.. My only regret is that Olivia had to get hurt in the process." He then spread his arms and leaned in to hug her, though slowly to make sure she was comfortable with it.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 102, 255)">Rebeckah had to force herself not to cry at this point. She wondered what might have happened if she had picked Victor. Would they have stayed in the villa together? Would they have made it all the way? Would she have been able to learn to trust love again?<br/>
<br/>
When that last question passed through her mind, Rebeckah started to pull away from the long hug she shared with Victor. Leaning back with her arms still around his neck, she looked him over again. He had been her entire journey in the villa. She knew when she looked back on these two days, her short time with him would be what she remembered.<br/>
<br/>
"Victor, you are a great guy who made a bad choice. Don't let that affect the rest of your time in here." She said, finally pulling away and placing one hand on the handle of the suitcase. She knew her time was almost up. She was going to have to leave with regrets that she could never fix. But there was one last thing she hoped she might be able to fix.<br/>
<br/>
Quickly, she took a deep breath before finally looking Victor in the eyes. "You need to be careful about Cassandra." She blurted out. Rebeckah had never spoken a word directly to the redhead but she knew how to read people and after so much time spent with him, she did not want to see Victor get hurt...again.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">As they hugged, Victor too had to force himself not to let the emotions take over. He just hated to that she had to leave, regardless if they'd be in a couple or not. But then again, perhaps it was for the best. Given her past, Love Island probably wasn't the best place for her. <br/>
<br/>
As they pulled away from each other, he took in her next words and watched her grab onto the handle of her suitcase, a signal that she was ready to leave. <br/>
<br/>
-"It wasn't a bad choice.." he said, wanting her to know that despite what she'd say on the matter, he wouldn't change his mind. His choice to be with her, for however short time it was, was not a bad choice. He knew he wasn't going to win that money, he might as well buy a lottery ticket. He did hope to meet some great people though, and Rebeckah sure was one.<br/>
<br/>
When she warned him about Rebeckah, he couldn't help but offer a puzzled frown, though he hoped he managed to hide it somewhat. While he had no idea what she meant, he wasn't going to question her either. As far as he knew, she just wanted to look out for him.<br/>
<br/>
-"I'll be fine." he reassured with a smile, and took a deep breath while looking down at her.<br/>
<br/>
-"Take care, Rebeckah. Promise me the world doesn't have to miss out anymore." he said, suggesting she should get out there and let people discover what a wonderful person she was. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(204, 102, 255)">He then turned around to walk out of the room. As he did so, he heard Rebeckah speak again, saying "If you're ever in California, come find me. Maybe we can be real people in the real world, especially if things don't work out here". </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">Victor then</span> <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">stopped in the doorway and turned his upper body to offer her one last smile, as if to say "sure thing", and a small good bye wave with his hand before exiting the room.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div><br/>Feeling a bit emotional after that, Victor couldn't help but smile when he saw Cassie at the bar.<br/><br/>-"Hey, you.." he walked up to her slowly with a smile plastered all over his face.<br/><br/>-"Sorry everyone, I'll have to steal my lovely bride away from you." he announced to whoever was left at the bar, and then turned to Cassie again.<br/><br/>-"Close your eyes." he said with that same mischievous smile as before, and extended his hand chivalrously toward her, signalling she should take it. Once she closed her eyes and did so, he carefully lead her away from the bar, holding her hand while keeping his arm around her waist for support so that she wouldn't risk tripping in her wedges. -"Don't look, don't look.." he encouraged while he chuckled as they slowly but steadily made their way over to the pool. Amidst all the chaos, Victor had noticed something awesome that night, and he wanted to share that with her and hopefully offer her some insight into who he was.<br/><br/>-"Alright, stand<i>rrrright here..</i>" he said, comically emphasizing "right here" with a humorous tone and let go of her, and paused for a moment to make sure she had found her balance and wasn't going to fall over before he pushed two deck chairs together and grabbed six blankets laying around on the day beds. He'd then put two on each deck chair to make them more comfy, during which he glanced up at her to make sure she wasn't sneaking a peek, smiled and then put the other two blankets aside for now, so that they could use them if they got cold.<br/><br/>-"Alright, let's get you settled.." he said softly, and grabbed her hand again and put his other hand on her lower back and gently lead her to the deck chairs, and then slowly spun her around so that her back would face the deck chairs. -"Sit down slowly.." he made sure to hold on to her as she sat down, and then helped her lay down comfortably on her back on the deck chair.<br/><br/>-"Let me get these off of you.." he offered softly and carefully got her black wedges off, handling her dainty feet delicately with his large hands, offering them both a warm caress as he laid them back down on the blanket. He then put her shoes down on the ground near her, and moved over and laid himself down right next to her, looking up briefly to make sure the amazing star filled sky was still there. As if it would have gone anywhere, right?<br/><br/>-"Alright.. Open your eyes." he said lowly, his voice filled with expectation. Of course, he hoped that she would be as amazed by the sight of the mighty, lit up heavens as he was, and that she wouldn't burst into laughter and think it was all silly. He'd wait and let her react first, and then let her in on why this all meant something to him.
