Johnny jumped at the sudden noise. "Sir? Is everything alright?" He glanced over at Baumer's fist. He was clenching it so hard that it was turning white. And it was bleeding. "Andrew, your hand-"

Baumer was fuming. "No, it's NOT alright! He has his hands all over Nina! Guest or not, I'm not-" He paused and looked at his hand. "Shit."

"Seth asked you what her name was and you said Fin?"

"No." Baumer replied. "He asked 'who the hottie' was." He air quoted. "Remember?"

"Yeah."

"And I didn't know who he was talking about. I just said Fin's name because like hell I'm going to say my girlfriend's name and get him all interested, right?"

"Right."

"Oh…you've got the wrong person."

Nina's voice got their attention and they looked over at the entrance.

"My friend here is Fin." Nina told Seth. "My name is Nina."

"Hey." Fin greeted.

Seth blinked. "But the manager told me-"

Nina cut him off and looked over at the front desk. "Andrew!" She ran over to him.

Baumer felt his heart skip a beat when she called his name. When she ran into his arms, he held her and didn't want to let her go. "Nina, oh my god. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too!" Nina hugged him back and gave him a big kiss on the lips. "I'm here and we can hang out!"

"Definitely." Baumer smiled at her.

Johnny looked over at Seth and saw that he was just surprised and shocked.

"And hi to you too, Johnny!" Nina grinned.

Johnny looked at her and smiled. "Hi Nina. How are you today?"

"I'm great!" Nina smiled. "My trip to Italy with daddy was amazing! We had so much fun!"

Johnny smiled. "Good to hear and good to have you back."

Nina grinned.

Fin walked up to them slowly. "Sir, I'm sorry to be late for work." She addressed Baumer. "I got here at the same time as Nina and we just talked for an hour." Fin didn't care about the strike. She had seen her friend after a year and they just talked so it wasn't a big deal to her.

"It's alright." Baumer told her.

"…I'm sorry?"

"It's alright."

Fin nodded. "Alright." She went to give Nina a hug. "So glad you're back. See you later?"

Nina laughed. "Yeah!"

Fin grinned and walked off.

Baumer chuckled.

Reef came out of the elevator with Broseph. "The Seth Evans is here?!" He gasped. "Oh my god, it's him!"

"It is!"

Seth smiled. "Hi there."

Reef grinned. "I am such a big fan of yours!"

"Reef."

Reef blanched and looked at the manager. "Bummer!" He cleared his throat. "I mean Baumer!" He grinned sheepishly at him.

But Baumer wasn't having any of that.

"Look sir, I'm sorry I slept in but my next surfing lesson is only at 9:30." Reef explained. "So technically I don't start until then, right?"

"It's 9:30 right now." Baumer replied with a small smile.

Reef let out a little scream. "Look sir, I'm sorry!" He apologized.

Baumer put a hand up. "Save it." Then he smiled. "I'm in a happy mood right now, so I'm going to let it slide."

"I'm sorry?" Reef couldn't believe it. Why was Baumer…? Oh wait; it is the first day back right? Maybe he's being nice. No, because last year- Wait, Reef knew why. It had been so obvious! He went up to Nina and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so glad you're here! This is perfect! I won't get a strike!"

Nina just smiled at him. "Hi?"

Baumer was seething.

"…I should not have done that." Reef backed up. "I should not have done that."

"REEF!" Baumer shouted. "GET TO YOUR DAMN LESSON RIGHT NOW!"

Reef sprinted away.

"And Broseph! Why are you just standing there?!" Baumer demanded. "Get Mr. Evans' bags up to his room!"

"Yes sir!" Broseph grabbed Seth's suitcase and surfboard*. "Follow me, sir."He went towards the elevator with Seth following him. They went inside the elevator and it went up to the floor of the suite.

Baumer took a deep breath and exhaled.

Nina looked up at him. "Are you okay?" She asked, concerned.

"First day back and he pulls a stunt like this." Baumer shook his head. "I'm going to have to do something."

Nina blinked. "Do something? What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

Nina gaped. "Andrew, it wasn't intentional! He was just really happy that you were in a good mood. And well, he did kiss my cheek but you know he likes Fin! I mean, Fin was telling me how-"

"I guess I just overreacted…" Baumer smiled a bit to her. "I'm sorry."

"No, you didn't overreact. That's okay." Nina smiled. "I would get jealous too if a girl kissed you when she got too happy. Its okay, Andrew. You have nothing to apologize for."

Baumer smiled and hugged her. "Sounds great."

Nina smiled and hugged back.

Xxx

Broseph put Seth's suitcase and surfboard* on the floor. "You'll be in this room during your stay. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Seth nodded. "Thank you."

Broseph nodded and left the suite, closing the door behind him.

Seth started unpacking. He had a feeling he was going to like it here. A surfing hotel? Come on, that's perfect for someone who loves to surf. The view from his hotel was just breathtaking. It was like a paradise. A Surfer's Paradise. He face palmed and chuckled. Well no fucking shit.

"It is the name of this hotel." Seth muttered to himself. He was also going to enjoy his stay because of the girl he had his eyes on.

Nina.

He had to know more about her. After what happened in the lobby, Seth pretty much figured out that Nina was with the manager. What was his name again? Anyways, he didn't care who she was seeing. He was just going to break them apart. Because Seth Evans always gets what he wants.

No matter what.

A.N: Ouuu, things are heating up and looks like Seth is about to make his move!

* I feel so stupid in forgetting to mention that Seth has his surfboard with him. So ya, he has his surfboard with him, sorry for the confusion!

Chapter 2 is up; I hope you all are enjoying the story so far! I'm about to work on chapter 3 and it should be up soon.

Stay tuned!
