Memories of the whirlwind of 3 months he had been on of romantic dinner dates, silly inside jokes and passionate moments of intimacy played like a cheesy romantic comedy in his head. He could hear the hiss of the waves calmingly rolling over one another, and with the shimmer of the fading evening sun reflecting off the shore outlining a tall silhouette sauntering up the beach to the house on the Malibu sand. Jesse looking out over the beach house's deck admiring the physique of the slightly older man now jogging up the stairs to that very deck. Jesse quickly jerked his head back down to look as if he had been reading the strategically placed medical journal in front of him. However, the smirk that gradually appeared on Steve Sloan's face seemed to tell a tale of Jesse's deception being caught. As if to mock the younger man even more Steve with wicked intentions began to dry off the glistening beads of sweat adoring his topless body, only a foot or two away from the noticeably struggling young doctor. As Steve finally finished his torturous show with a swing of his towel over his shoulder he began to move back toward the stairs as if to leave again, but this time leave an emotionally flustered and dazed young man. With a second thought Steve turned to a now blushing Jesse Travis only to give a quick wink and say "you are too adorable sometimes but, as my boyfriend I'd prefer a proud and smug face after checking me out for so long." With that Jesse smiled to stood up to approach his sassy boyfriend, receiving a gentle kiss and an inviting embrace leaving them standing swaying together till the sun set.
