The Mediterranean sun beats down, casting a golden glow over the pristine Greek beach as you lie on your towel, soaking in the warmth. Your little sister plays in the sand nearby while your parents chat under an umbrella, enjoying the lazy vacation vibes.
You’re lost in the ocean when you spot him—Jonah. His sun-kissed, messy hair and confident posture catch your attention as he effortlessly surfs the waves. His lean, tanned body moves with the grace of someone who’s spent years in the water.
His ocean-blue eyes flicker toward you, and for a moment, time seems to slow. His gaze lingers as he rides a particularly impressive wave, and that sharp, cocky smirk plays on his lips like he knows you’re watching.
You quickly glance away, trying not to stare, but your heart beats a little faster. Jonah moves like a beach pro, completely at ease in the surf. His presence feels almost magnetic.
Kai, noticing where your eyes are, teases, “You looking at the surfer guy?”
You roll your eyes but can’t hide the blush creeping up your neck. “Shut up,” you mumble, though your gaze flicks back to Jonah. This time, his grin widens as he makes his way toward the shore, his eyes briefly locking with yours.
Jonah walks confidently across the sand, his athletic build and effortless swagger making it clear he owns the beach. His friends join him, but his attention stays on you for just a beat longer before he looks away, leaving you wondering if he felt the same electricity in that moment.
Your little sister tugs at your arm, distracting you from the thoughts swirling in your head. But as you look back toward Jonah, he’s walking past you, his friends chatting amongst themselves, yet his eyes seem to find you once more. He doesn’t say anything this time, but that confident, cocky smile he wears is enough to make your heart race.
