Luke spotted the guy that was part of the threesome. "What's his name again?" he asked, but he didn't have a chance to answer before the guy approached them with a smile. "Hey," Luke greeted him.
Flynn held his hand out to Tab's other half. "Hey, I don't think we've met yet. I'm Flynn," he said with a friendly smile. He would've taken the time to introduce Remy and Maddy, too, if they had been with him. Remy wasn't in their room when Flynn and Maddy got back from the beach though, so they had decided to both have a quick look around the resort to see if they could locate him and make sure he was okay. "Enjoying yourself, love?" he asked Tab.
Tab broke apart from Luke to give Flynn a quick hug as she grinned up at him. "I'm definitely enjoying myself. And this is Luke, my boyfriend." She took a step back so she was at Luke's side again and looked behind Flynn like she was checking to see if Maddy and Remy were with him. "You all alone?"
There was no hiding the way Luke's features darkened as he shook Flynn's hand briefly. He knew exactly who Flynn was. He was Tab's rebound horse. The one she had come from fucking the day she met Luke. "Nice to meet you," was all he said and took a step back with a clear of his throat.
"Likewise," Flynn returned, oblivious. He snorted and shook his head at Tab's question. "Yeah, I'm alone. Our Cajun has decided to pull and Invisible Man on us again and disappear. He's been in an odd mood since we arrived. Needless to say, our sex life is not at the level of the rest of the group."
Tab pulled her mouth to the side as she looked from Luke to Flynn. Her hand slipped into Luke's and she squeezed it. "I didn't realise we had levels to go through. Makes it sound like sex-based Donkey Kong."
Flynn immediately sensed the tension and he glanced at Tab. He had no idea how much she had told the boyfriend and suddenly things felt very awkward. "I always had a thing for bananas," he offered casually, a slight smirk appearing on his lips.
Tab didn't exactly know what she was supposed to say to break the tension. It wasn't like she and Flynn had gone past that one encounter, but she supposed Luke would always get protective over his and Tab's meeting.
She raised her eyebrows as she looked between the two men again. "I got a thing for metaphoric bananas, but I don't actually like real bananas. Although those candy bananas are pretty yummy. I used to like dipping them in chocolate topping."
Luke just looked down at Tab but was at a loss what to say. How was it going to be comfortable trying to carry on a conversation with a professional stripper who had firmly and extensively shagged your girlfriend right before you met her? And indeed played into that horse metaphor of hers that nearly saw Luke totally miss his chance with her.
He cleared his throat. "We're going to the beach. I'm sure there are plenty of bananas there to both your liking." With a maybe a stop for a few Tequila shots on the way, to fuck with the time of day.
Flynn pushed his hand through his hair. "There is only one banana I'm interested in. With a particular Cajun spice. If you see him, will you tell him I was looking for him?" he asked. "If he falls and hurts himself, I'll never forgive myself."
Tab squeezed Luke's hand again. "I don't think I've seen Remy since the flight. I don't think I've really seen anyone else but Riley, Evie, Lachlan and Tara," Tab admitted. "Considering how big of a group we are we're all pretty good at keeping to our own corners."
Tab wanted to ask Flynn to join her and Luke but considering how awkward it already was and that Flynn was looking for his Cajun she figured it wasn't really a good idea. "I'm sure he's okay. Maybe he went to get a massage?"
Luke adjusted his bag over his shoulder. "You might want to check the other side of the resort from the beach. It's flatter, no sand and shadier. Probably preferrable to someone who can't walk too far and isn't dressed for the beach," he suggested.
Flynn nodded distractedly. "Thanks for that. I appreciate it. Makes sense... and I didn't even think about it," he said with a sigh. "I'll catch you both around, no doubt. I'd say don't do anything I wouldn't do, but hey, do what the fuck you like. That's what life is about."
"I hope you find him," Tab replied as she offered Flynn a smile. "Maybe one night we can all have drinks? I still want to get to know that Cajun banana of yours, and your girlfriend."
"If you need help with anything, let us know," Luke added, though he was still eyeing Flynn warily. It wasn't like he could just play happy families with Tab's rebound fling. It was fucking awkward and he didn't know what else he could say. In saying that, he knew that Riley was basically an ex-fling of Pat's and Aiden didn't seem to care... unless he didn't know. Luke's eyebrows shot up at the thought. Uh oh. Things could get interesting there. Was there a chance Aiden could be feeling about Riley exactly how Luke was feeling about Flynn right this second? "Good luck with finding him."
