It only felt natural by then to take a moment to kiss his cheek while using the excuse of taking a selfie with her phone. Because, to be honest, that’s all it was.<br/><br/>She was flushed when she checked the image on her phone, saving it and then setting the phone down again. She looked at Jon in time to see that he had a rosy blush accompanying his cheeks, too. Maybe they were sharing similar feelings, after all.<br/><br/>The move of kissing his cheek was one that Katie normally wouldn’t have felt bold enough to do. But, coming onto the show, she knew that she had to step up her game. Otherwise, she would be destined to pack her bags shortly after unpacking them. “Oh, I go to school in San Mateo. In California.” Katie was brought back to the here and now with Jon’s question about school.<br/><br/>“Well, I’m glad to see I’m not the only person in the villa who puts ketchup on eggs,” she grinned, taking another bite of her ketchup dipped eggs. His answer led her to ask the following question: “I take that to mean you aren’t from the Midwest?” Jon mentioned being from Pennsylvania, which was most definitely not the Midwest. “Oh, okay.” She nodded. “I’ve never been.”<br/><br/>The topic of age was brought up and Katie shook her head emphatically at him saying he was old. “Only five years older than me. And 26 is not old.” His shoulder bumped playfully against hers before he revealed that it was only a couple of his friends who had children. “Well, I suppose 26 is a good age to start thinking about kids,” she shrugged. “For some people.”<br/><br/>She smiled as he started to speak about finding someone to spend many years with, if not the rest of his life with. “That does sound nice,” she agreed, dreamily. Jon went on to sign a little more, sharing that he liked spending time with her, then more specifically, he signed that he liked her. Katie felt her cheeks heating up all over again, her hands raising to sign back to him: ‘I like you too.’<br/><br/>But by then, another blonde had joined the crowd and even though she hadn’t said hello to either Jon or herself, Jon went out of his way to snap her picture and say a greeting to her. Katie tried not to take it personally and reminded herself that since they were new here, they really were supposed to meet and greet everybody on the first day. Katie smiled to Gwen when Jon introduced her. “Hey,” she added, then waited for her replies to Jon’s questions.
