The next morning, Luke is the first one awake in the house. Instead of staying in bed, he pads down the stairs, with just sweatpants and socks on, hoping to make himself something to eat as his stomach was growling at him.
He puts some water in the coffee maker and walks around the house while he's waiting for it to finish. Yesterday, he didn't get much of a chance to look around because they were rushing to get to the beach and swim. It had been such a hot day, but today it's overcast and looks like it might rain.
Luke opens the glass sliding door that led to the small balcony outside. There are a few chairs and a small table in a circle. Of course, it overlooks the beach and Luke can see the waves in the distance crashing into the shore.
He looks to his left to see another beach house not too far away. It's the same height, but a completely different design. It was a soft, Robin egg blue while theirs is a light, Burch wood.
A man standing on the balcony of the house, leaning over the railing catches Luke's eye. He's leaning toward Luke's direction, but looking down at his phone so the blonde isn't able to see his face. However, he is dressed in shorts without a shirt.
He has a nice body. Luke can tell just by looking at him that the guy works out. He has abs and his biceps are probably bigger than Luke's head.
Luke is so busy looking at this guy's body that he doesn't notice the guy looking up at him and calling his name.
Wait his name?
"Luke? Is that you?" The guy calls, squinting his eyes. Luke can't believe it's Rian. The guy at the beach that tried to get his number the day before.
"Rian?" He asks, walking closer to the left edge of the balcony. "Hey." He yells, waving a little shyly.
"Hey." Rian grins back, his hands on his hips. Luke watches him body scan him with a wink as he calls, "Let me put a shirt on I'll come over if that's cool?"
"Yeah that's fine. I'm making coffee." Luke calls back. Rian nods with a thumbs up and slips inside his house.
The blonde runs back inside, totally forgetting about his coffee as he hurried to grab something better to wear. Luke looks through his bag and finds a black 'The Offspring' shirt and slips it on, looking at himself in the mirror. He remembers that Rian has checked him out twice without a shirt on and decides nothing can be worse than that.
Luke honestly looks like he just woke up, but Rian already saw him so he guesses it doesn't matter. Maybe...he and Rian could have a summer...thing, he thought. It didn't have to be a fling, per se, but it could be something.
As soon as Luke walks back into the kitchen, the doorbell goes off. The blonde does his best to shake all his anxiety away before walking to the front door and opening it.
Rian is now wearing a black shirt as well as black gym shorts and flip flops. "Hey." He smiles showing his perfect teeth. Luke can't deny his smile is really attractive.
"Hi. Come on in." Luke says smiling softly and moving out of the way so Rian can walk inside.
He walks in slowly, looking around the place. Luke guides him to the brown leather couch in the living room. "Would you like coffee? I just made some fresh." Luke offers, not sitting down because he knew he was going to get some for himself.
