If you asked me, Kingsize was the perfect place to take Leo out. It was small and intimate, on the other side of town, and the food was amazing. I didn’t go there often because it wasn’t exactly close to my place, but whenever I did, I would stuff myself full. Leo didn’t seem too thrilled, however. I could see the hesitant look on his face as he inspected the menu. “I’m telling you, everything’s great. You can’t go wrong with whatever you get.” “Alright, if you say so.” He didn’t seem

It was one of those days when you feel like you've made one small decision and suddenly your whole world has flipped upside down. When you want to turn back time before that moment and do things differently so everything could go back the way it was. Just a week ago, this would’ve been another ordinary day. A hot afternoon at the beach after my shift at the shop, surfing with Jay, then grabbing some food. But now? All I could think about was Leo. His face was stuck in my brain, his voice lo

I’ve kissed a lot of girls in my life. A lot. But never a guy. Still, kissing Leo… it didn’t seem weird at all. It felt good. Great even. Like I couldn’t get enough of it. My eyes were closed, my lips touching his, my hand somehow finding its way to the back of his neck, gently caressing his skin. There was this warm, tingling sensation wherever he touched me—my arms, my shoulders... In all the years that we’ve known each other, we’ve never been this close before. His smell was everywhere—

There is a tradition in our town that we’ve had for as long as I’ve lived here. Every July, the town would hold a sandcastle building contest at the beach, right next to Danny’s Cove. It was a fun little event for the locals, especially kids, but since it happened in the middle of summer, we’d always have a lot of tourists participating too. I wasn’t competing this year, though. My plan was to stuff myself with street food, judge other people’s work, and have fun with the guys. “Dude,

Today was a little windy, but still pleasant. The perfect weather for being outdoors. I had a constant stream of customers for a few hours, but now there was finally a lull so I decided to do some cleaning up. I cleared out some of the stuff lying around, then grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor. When you’re so close to the beach, sand always finds it way in. In the middle of all that, I barely heard my phone buzz. Good thing I did, because it was Leo. “Hey, what’s up?” I pu

I didn't specify it on purpose, it's up to your imagination

I woke up that morning to the sound of my phone. It wasn’t my usual morning alarm, but my ringtone instead. It took me a few seconds to process it, and I reached out to grab it from the nightstand. The noise was already getting annoying. Who could be calling me this early anyway? My first thought was my boss. Maybe she had an emergency and wanted me to go to the shop and cover for her. It turned out it was even worse than that. “Hi, mom,” I replied with all the enthusiasm I could muste

You knew summer was starting for real when you’d see tourists start to arrive in droves. Most of them came in July and August, but in recent years they’ve been showing up all through the year, especially June. I guess some of them didn’t mind the water being a few degrees colder so long as they got to avoid the crowds in peak summer. There were a lot of fresh faces at the shop today. I liked it, it meant business was doing well. Small trinkets like fridge magnets and figurines sold the

Noah likes to take things day by day, splitting his time between working at a souvenir shop and hanging with friends at the beach. When his girlfriend breaks up with him and tells him she is moving away, he is left utterly confused. Luckily, he has his best friend Leo to help him get through it - whether it’s by taking him out for dinner, listening to his complaints, or giving him some tough love. Why is Leo always so good to him anyway?

“I’m leaving, what’s hard to understand about that?” Gina told me with a smile. What was hard to understand? Everything. How could she be leaving so suddenly? Why? And why did she sound so casual about it? I looked down at her hand in mine. It was so much smaller and lighter than my own. “But… where are you going? And when are you coming back?” “I don’t know if I’m coming back.” She shrugged. “My sister is moving to France and I decided I want to go with her. Make a fresh start. W

The clock was ticking for the contestants as they found themselves in the final stretch of the show. After a whirlwind of a weekend, they had almost reached the very end. Now, only a couple of hours remained until they would have to cast their votes on who they thought the killer was. And while some people decided to spend the remaining time relaxing, others seemed to be more on edge than ever, clearly under pressure over the impending finale of the game. The lounge seemed especially lively, wit

Thanks, I'm glad you had fun with it! I hope you're ready for the final chapter!

Yeah, Troy and Samson are kinda not playing by the rules right now, but Nicholas hasn't called them out so I guess they get away with it (for now at least). Thanks for reading and commenting! The final chapter is incoming!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Let's see if your guess was correct!
