I arrive at the house. It looks super cute and cozy. I park next to a Prius. I grab my purse and keys and hop out. I lock my truck and walk to the front door.
"Hey! Are you Poppy?" A lady says opening the front door.
I nod and smile.
"Hi I'm Susan." She says shaking my hand.
I smile.
"Well come inside and let me show you around." Susan says.
I follow her in.
Wow. It's a little rustic looking, but woah it really cool.
You enter the door and then there is a closet to the left. Then there is a hallway that leads to the kitchen on the right and small living room on the left. There is doors leading to a giant porch and the beach. In the living room there is a spiral stair case leading to upstairs.
"Upstairs in a bed room. The bathroom is the door in the hallway. The house is fully furnished. Except for sheets, towels and such. Oh! There is a washer and dryer in the door on the left in the kitchen." Susan says pointing.
"I'll take it." I say.
"Okay, just a few things I need to ask." Susan says pulling out a stool at the island in the kitchen to sit at. I sit across from her.
"Do you have a job?" She asks.
"Not yet. I plan on getting one as soon as I can." I say.
She nods.
"You have to pay for the first 2 months right away, and then from there you will pay at the end of the month. No pets. Only fish are allowed. If you have a pet it is an additional $200 fee. If you could fill this out, then we'll be good to go!" Susan says sliding me a piece of paper and a pen.
I nod.
After reading and signing multiple things I now have a place to stay.
"Thank you so much!" I say to Susan as she packs her things up.
"Oh no problem hun. If ya ever have questions just call my number, it's on the fridge." She says closing the door.
I go to my car and grab my stuff. I set my longboard by the front door. I carry my things upstairs. It is beautiful up here. There's a little porch up here! I go out and lean against the railing. A few guys are kicking a ball around on the beach.
"Hey!" a guy shouts up at me. He waves.
I wave back.
"Come down and play ball with us!" He shouts up.
I shrug.
"Come on! We need one more person for the teams to be even!" He shouts.
I might as well. He seems nice.
I hold up a finger.
I go inside and grab my bikini, a crop top and some ripped shorts. I change quickly and throw my hair up in a messy pony. I jog outside, I slow up when I get closer to the guy.
"Hey! You came! I'm Harrison!" The guy says.
"I'm Poppy." I say shyly.
"Let's go join the other two. They're really fun." Harrison says.
Great he can tell I'm nervous. I nod.
He smiles.
"Hey! Who's the chick!?" A guy shouts.
"This is Poppy!" Harrison says.
"Did you just move here?" The same guy asks.
I nod.
"Oh, I'm Jacob!" The guy says.
"I'm Tom." The other guy says.
He is kinda cute.
"Let's get this game going!" Harrison says.
"Jacob and Me, then Poppy and Harrison?" Tom suggests.
I nod.
"Good with me!" Harrison says.
"What are the goals?" Tom asks.
"We got 3 towels.. " Jacob says.
"And a shirt." Harrison says taking his shirt off in on swift motion.
Woah. Harrison is, wow.
Tom and Jacob go off to they're goal.
"So have you played before?" Harrison asks.
I nod.
"I played in high school." I say.
"Good. We will cream them." He say placing the goal markers.
"Ready?!" Tom shouts.
Harrison makes eye contact with me. I nod and give a small smile.
"YES!" Harrison shouts.
Tom throws the ball up in the air.
"I got it!" Harrison yells running up to it.
We kick the ball around and both teams score a few times.
"Timeout." Jacob says.
"Yeah." Tom says out of breath.
"Or is that an I give up?" Harrison asks laughing.
"Let's swim!" Jacob says.
"Yeah, Poppy wanna swim?" Tom asks.
"I don't have towels. I still have to go buy that stuff." I say.
"I'll go grab another one from our house." Harrison says joking away.
"We should go shopping with you." Jacob says.
"Why?" I ask sitting next to Tom.
"We are fun." Tom says.
I laugh and nod.
"Let's swim. I'm hot." I say standing up and pulling my shirt off.
Tom pulls his shirt off and stands up.
I pull my shorts off.
"Guys! Wait! It's supposed to –." Harrison stops as it starts to pour.
"Let's go inside." Tom says grabbing stuff.
"I should probably go to my place.." I say.
"Nah just come to ours! It's closer!" Jacob says.
"Yeah you can borrow my clothes." Tom says grabbing my hand and pulling me towards there place.
I nod and let him lead me to their place. Scared to say no.
