The Life We Make

Chapter 5

They are both standing right beside me, and I turn to look at them.

"Oh hey guys. Nice to see you again, especially when I'm not walking in awkwardly," I say, laughing.

"We told you it's alright. It happens. No reason to worry about it," the blonde says, smiling.

"Oh, thanks. Oh, silly me, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Alexia," I say and hold out my hand to shake theirs.

"My name is Luke," the blonde one says, shaking my hand. Then I turn to the other man, who is equally as handsome, but he stays silent. Luke coughs.

"Oh, sorry. Hello, Alexia. My name is Cameron," he says, and I finally get a look at him. I see his beautiful blue eyes, and I smile.

"So, would you like to join me in sitting down?" I ask, being bold because I'm honestly tired of being alone, and what better than two hot men for company?

"Sure, sounds good, right Cam?" Luke says.

"Yeah, for a little while would be good," Cameron says.

As we sit down, Luke asks, "Hey, Alexia, what brings you out here all alone?"

I look around and see my best friend, laughing and chatting away with her new guy. "Oh, my brother is probably on round 100 with his new boothang, and I didn't want to be a third wheel," I say, laughing.

Cameron chuckles, "I know how that feels. I've been there before."

"That's my best friend over there. She's always been the outgoing one, while I'm more of the introverted type," I say, smiling.

Cameron nods. "I get it. I'm actually more of an introvert myself, but Luke here is the life of the party."

Luke grins. "Guilty as charged. But hey, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses, right?"

Alexia turns to Luke and Cameron and asks, "Very true Luke, So what brings you guys to Aruba?"

Cameron sighs and replies, "It's actually because of Luke's cousin. He wanted to celebrate his birthday here, and we all decided to come along. Some people were definitely more willing to come than others."

Luke adds, "Yeah, my cousin always wanted to come here, so here we are. And yes, Cam can be a party pooper if you're wondering, Alexia."

As they continue to chat, Cameron suddenly points out, "Isn't that your friend leaving to go to the hotel with that guy?"

Alexia sighs and says, "Yeah, she must be going to that guys room. The problem is that my brother has all the keys, which is why I'm waiting out here. When he's drunk, he can be forgetful," she says, laughing.

"That's actually insane, I would be so upset," Cameron says.

"How about you come to our room, Alexia? Honestly, I insist. We wouldn't feel good leaving you out here by yourself for who knows how long. Look, text your brother and your friend our room number. It's the penthouse, 1594," Luke says.

"I mean, are you sure? I wouldn't want to i intrude on you guys. That's honestly so sweet," I say, smiling at them. Luke looks at Cameron.

"Uh, yeah, that's fine. Come along," he says.

I follow them to their room, unable to take my eyes off their perfect physiques. But what am I doing here, going to a random men's room? Well, I did say I wanted to do something wild. After all, we only live once, right?

As we walk through the stunning hotel lobby, I can't help but imagine what their penthouse suite must look like. Cam presses the elevator button and both men allow me to enter. I swear I can feel their eyes on me, but I try to ignore the excitement and tension. Looking around, my eyes land on Cameron's perfectly-formed butt. I turn my attention to Luke, catching him chuckling at my wandering eyes.
