Part 2 of lakehouse Chris!

Summary: you’re now being introduced to everyone who comes to the lakehouse. There’s an instant connection with Chris and he will not stop staring.

Read more, HERE.

You stood in front of the mirror for a second longer than necessary, smoothing your hands over your outfit as you took yourself in one last time. A white tube top with soft blue flowers hugged your torso perfectly, paired with a denim skirt that sat just right on your hips. It was simple, but cute, effortless in a way that made you feel confident without trying too hard. Your hair fell naturally, your makeup light but enough to make your features pop, and for the first time since agreeing to this whole trip, you actually felt excited. Nervous, still, but excited.

Downstairs, you could already hear Gabi and Josh moving around, the quiet calm of earlier slowly being replaced with anticipation.

It didn’t take long before the first car pulled into the driveway. You and Gabi stepped outside just as Tara climbed out, and the second you saw her, you both smiled. It felt familiar, easy, like slipping into something comfortable. You pulled her into a quick hug, laughing as she immediately started talking, telling you how happy she was that you came, how fun the summer was going to be. Any nerves you had about seeing at least one familiar face disappeared almost instantly, and for a moment, it felt like you weren’t so far from home anymore.

Not long after, another car rolled in, and Gabi turned toward you with a grin. “Okay, new people,” she said, nudging you slightly as Oliver stepped out. She introduced you, and he gave you a warm, easy smile that made you feel welcome right away.

He joked with Gabi, teased Josh, and included you naturally in the conversation without making it feel forced, which you appreciated more than you expected. One by one, it started to feel less intimidating. Maybe this wouldn’t be as overwhelming as you thought.

Then another car pulled in.

You didn’t think much of it at first, just turning slightly as Gabi started toward the driveway again, but the second two guys stepped out, something shifted. “This is Matt and Chris,” Gabi said, gesturing between them as they walked closer.

You smiled politely at first, but when your eyes landed on Chris, it was like everything slowed for just a second. There was something about the way he looked at you, like he noticed you immediately, like you were the only thing he was focusing on in that moment.

Your smile softened without you realizing it, and his did too, just slightly, but enough. It wasn’t dramatic or obvious to anyone else, but it was there. A quiet, mutual recognition. Something unspoken that lingered for just a second too long before you both looked away.

More cars followed, filling the driveway with noise and energy. Nick, Nate, and Noah arrived next, and you were introduced again, shaking hands, smiling, trying to remember names while everything moved quickly around you. Nick looked you up and down briefly before grinning. “You look gorgeous, by the way,” he said casually, like it was the most normal thing in the world. You laughed, thanking him, feeling your cheeks warm slightly at the compliment.

Then Blake showed up, followed by Grace and Rainbow, and suddenly the quiet lakehouse from earlier was completely alive.

A couple other people were introduced quickly in between, names you mentally tried to store away, faces blending together just a little as the energy picked up. Music started playing from somewhere inside, people were moving in and out of the house, and the smell of pizza eventually filled the air as someone announced it had arrived.

Boxes were carried outside, and everyone settled into different spots around the patio and yard, grabbing slices, talking over each other, laughing like they’d all known each other forever.

You found yourself sitting on a comfortable lounge chair outside, a plate balanced on your knee as a few of the girls gathered around you. They were easy to talk to, asking where you were from, how you knew Gabi, what you did back in LA. You answered between bites, slowly relaxing into the conversation, feeling yourself open up a little more with each passing minute. It felt nice. Normal. Like you were starting to find your place.

But every so often, your eyes would drift.

Across the yard, Chris stood with Matt and Oliver, a slice of pizza in his hand as he listened to something one of them was saying. He laughed, nodding, but then his gaze shifted, landing on you again. It wasn’t subtle. Not entirely. And when your eyes met this time, neither of you looked away immediately. There was that same feeling again, that quiet pull, like you were both aware of something you hadn’t even spoken about yet. You turned your attention back to the girls, trying to stay focused, but you could still feel it lingering.

Eventually, someone suggested the pool, and just like that, the energy shifted again. People started grabbing towels, heading inside to change, music getting louder as the sun dipped lower in the sky. You slipped into your bikini, throwing your clothes aside before heading back out, the cool air brushing against your skin as you stepped onto the deck. Everyone looked the same in a way, girls in bikinis, guys in swim trunks, laughter echoing across the water as someone jumped in, splashing everyone nearby.

You tried not to think too much about it, but you felt his eyes again.

Chris hadn’t said a word to you yet, but you noticed him. The way he lingered just slightly longer than necessary, the way his gaze followed you without being obvious enough for anyone else to call it out. And maybe it was the drinks starting to hit, or maybe it was just curiosity, but when you turned away from the pool, you didn’t rush. You moved slowly, knowing exactly what you were doing. Your bikini bottoms sat a little tighter, showing more than usual, and you could practically feel his attention shift. It was subtle, but you knew. And for a second, you smiled to yourself, just slightly.

By the time night fully settled in, you had thrown a big hoodie over your bikini, the fabric soft and oversized as it hung off your shoulders. Music blasted from inside now, lights glowing through the windows as everyone crowded into the living room, drinks in hand, bodies moving, laughter loud and unfiltered. You found yourself in the middle of it, dancing with the girls, spinning, laughing harder than you had in a long time as everything blurred together in the best way.

Everyone was drunk. You could feel it in the way people moved, the way conversations overlapped, the way everything felt a little lighter, a little easier. And still, even through all of it, you caught him looking. Across the room, leaning against the wall, talking to someone but not fully paying attention, his eyes finding you again and again. But he never came over. Not once.

Eventually, the night started to die down. One by one, people disappeared upstairs, laughter fading, music lowering until it was just a quiet hum in the background. You didn’t feel ready to sleep yet, your head buzzing slightly, your body still carrying the energy of the night. So instead, you slipped out quietly, making your way down toward the dock.

The air was cooler now, the lake calm and dark, reflecting the faint glow of the moon. You sat at the edge, pulling your knees up slightly as you stared out at the water, letting the quiet settle around you. For the first time since everyone arrived, everything slowed.

“Hey.”

You jumped, your heart skipping as you turned quickly.

“Oh my god, you scared me.”

Chris stood a few steps behind you, hands shoved casually into his pockets, a small smile pulling at his lips.

“Sorry,” he laughed softly. “Didn’t mean to scare you.”

You let out a breath, relaxing slightly.

“That’s okay.”

He stepped a little closer before sitting down beside you on the dock, leaving just enough space between you that it didn’t feel too close, but not far either. He glanced out at the water for a second before looking over at you.

“Welcome to the friend group.”

You smiled a little at that. “Thanks.”

He tilted his head slightly. “Do you know anyone else here besides Gabi?”

You shook your head. “Just Tara.”

He nodded, like he expected that. “Well you’ll fit in fine.”

He looked at you for a second longer before asking, “Why are you up so late?”

You let out a small laugh, glancing back out at the water. “I just wanted a bit of quiet time after drinking.”

He nodded slightly, like he understood that more than he needed to say.

Something about the moment felt calm, easy, like neither of you felt the need to fill every second with words. It was quiet, comfortable, the kind of silence that didn’t feel awkward.

Eventually, you glanced down at your phone, the screen lighting up your face. 4:27am.

“Oh shit,” you laughed quietly. “It’s late.”

He smiled. “Yeah.”

“I should probably get some sleep.”

“Probably.”

He stood up with you, walking back toward the house together in comfortable silence, the gravel crunching softly under your feet. When you reached the door, you both paused for a second, like neither of you really knew what to say.

“Goodnight,” you said.

“Goodnight.”

You headed upstairs, slipping into your room and closing the door behind you before finally letting out a quiet breath. You washed your face, removed your makeup, changed into something more comfortable before crawling into bed, pulling the covers up around you as the events of the night replayed in your head.

And for some reason you couldn’t stop thinking about him. Dang. He’s hot.
