“Just go talk to him already,” David sighed from where he was sitting on the couch in the living room in the rental house that he shared with his best friend Gavin and boyfriend Andy.
“I don’t even know him!” Gavin defended, but didn’t take his eyes from the boy walking down on the beach.
“Yeah, but you’ve been watching him for the past hour. You should feel like you know him from watching him that long.” Andy commented from beside his boyfriend.
“Shut up,” Gavin sighed still watching the boy.
“You really should go,” David commented then looked back down to the computer in his lap. The room was silent for a few more minutes with only the sounds coming from David typing.
“Alright, I’m going!” Gavin sighed with his forehead wrinkled as he stood up and headed for the door. Both David and Andy smirked then watched as Gavin slipped on flip flops and walked out the door.
“When you’re only eighteen and you’ve got nothing to lose,” the boy sang loudly to himself then sighed and kicked some water as a wave rushed up to wash over his feet again as he walked down the beach. “Damn, I why can’t I come up with more lyrics!” the boy sighed heavily then kicked more water. “When you’re only eighteen and you’ve got nothing to lose,” the boy sang again, then kicked more water.
“And you’re living the dream with the sand in your shoes,” Gavin said, just loud enough for the boy to hear him. The boy spun around, surprised at the other voice, and blushed.
“Um, hi,” the boy said.
“Hi, and, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” Gavin commented walking closer.
“No, it’s just, - uh- I didn’t see anyone come out here,” the boy replied, blushing again. And Gavin could get high from this boy’s accent. Or maybe he already is, he just doesn’t realize it because he’s already high from the beauty of his face.
“You write lyrics?” Gavin asked smiling as they walked closer together.
“Uh, yeah, it’s kind of just a pastime. Or, my parents wish it was. I kind of want to be a singer, but that’s unlikely,” the boy admitted, again blushing and looking down this time so his pretty dark brown hair covered his face.
“No, you’re actually pretty good,” Gavin commented back, smiling.
“Uh, thanks,” the boy blushed but smiled at Gavin. “Are you from around here?”
“No, my friends and I are just down here for a few weeks for the summer, we‘re from Seattle,” Gavin said. “Actually, we’re trying to promote our band some here.” he admitted, smiling. “And actually, we’re looking for a lead singer if you’re interested.” Gavin added as a second thought. He surely wouldn’t mind being around this boy’s voice all the time.
“I’m from here, but my family recently moved to Washington. I’m here visiting old friends that I had to leave. And thanks on the band thing, but I wouldn’t want to join without you talking to your band mates some,” Dan smiled.
“They wouldn’t mind. They’re actually up in our rental house right now. I could go get them if you want to meet them. Or um, we could all meet up tomorrow or something,” Gavin offered, smiling.
“Uh, um, I guess. Sure, Tomorrow would be fine,” Dan said.
“Okay, one thing first.” Gavin said before he left to go get David and Andy.
“Yeah?” the beautiful Australian accent rang clear.
“What’s your name?”
“Dan. Yours?”
“Gavin. Um, could you give me your number so I can call you tomorrow?”
“Um, I don’t have a pen, uh-”
“Um, here. Write it on my arm,” Gavin said, handing Dan a sharpie from his jeans pocket. At this point, Gavin was glad that they had had a show earlier that afternoon and he had a sharpie in his pocket.
“Okay.” Dan carefully wrote the numbers on Gavin’s arm before smiling up at him. “Thanks.” Dan blushed again.
“No problem. I’ll call you tomorrow. Gavin smiled and turned to walk back to their rental house. Right before he made it off the beach he heard the boy start singing again.
“When you’re only eighteen and you’ve got nothing to lose, and you’re living a dream with the sand in your shoes. Falling in love is easy, it’s easy to do. When you’re dancing on the beach where the water meets your feet, And a cool ocean breeze is fighting the heat. I said, falling in love is easy, it’s easy to do, it’s easy to do, I’m falling for you.”
