<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>~Marisol, opening up about the night's events with the girls ~</em><br/><br/>A sudden sense of relief seemed to cross over Marisol's face as she heard Nicci's admissions about jealousy. She had felt so guilty when she had seen Nicci and Bo touching and caressing one another that she hadn't wanted to mention it. That was going to be for the Video Diary only. But now that Nicci had opened up -- and it had taken a big boost of confidence to do that -- Marisol knew it was only fair for her to be open and honest about her feelings.<br/><br/>But first...she wished to make something clear to Mila.<br/><br/>"Mila, the tension wasn't your fault at all." Looking at the young woman, Mari flashed her a smile and shrugged, "It was our first time together and things got a bit tense too quickly. I think all of us were walking on eggshells and when Bo made the comment - even though he didn't mean it to sound harsh - it did come off that way. Please don't feel like it's your fault." Shaking her head, she added, "I think our first intimate time together is going to be like that too. A bit awkward and perhaps there might be some...tense or uncertain moments but in the end I think it'll go as beautiful as tonight went."<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, Marisol looked at Nicci and admitted quietly, "When we moved to the Lounge and you came back with  Bo...seeing the two of you sitting so close and how he touched you...it..." This was the difficult part for Mari; it was all fine when she took charge and she took care of other problems for the women of the house, it was completely different when she had to open up about her own problems and emotions. "...Well, it made me a bit jealous. You two seemed to have forged a bond so quickly and I feel like...like the weakest link, you know?" A little burst of laughter escaped Marisol, showing that she was a bit nervous. "I get the feeling the men are attracted to you two more than to me."<br/><br/>Wanting to change the subject, suddenly feeling VERY exposed, she ran her fingers through her hair and in the process pulled it form her pony tail. Fiddling with the hair tie, Mari gave them a smile. "But...while I think you might be right in our emotions getting in the way, I also think we're doing really good at opening up and about becoming friends first. I think if we three keep an open communication and let each other know when we feel uncomfortable or when we feel a bit left out, then we should be able to minimize the hurt feelings."<br/><br/>Flashing them both wide smiles, she commented with an eager smile, "After all, I think we three are going to be the glue of this whole fiasco. If us three girls keep a tight bond, then the men will feel more comfortable and will open up. I just think communication is the key."</span>
