A.N: Hey everybody! The long waited sequel is finally here! I've been wanting to write it for a while but I have never had the time. I hope you all enjoy it!
"Welcome to Surfer's Paradise, I'm Andrew Baumer. The daytime manager."
Summer was finally here! The year went by in a flash. Baumer couldn't believe it. And just a few days ago, the groms were settling into the staff house. Baumer decided he was going to be more lenient with them.
…
Okay, maybe not too lenient. Just a little bit. Yeah, that sounded good. He was the manager at the hotel after all, and everything had to be perfect. He had to make sure that all the customers were happy and that their requests were fulfilled. And that kept Mr. Ridgemount happy. Baumer didn't want to get on his bad side.
With Giorgio co-owning Surfer's Paradise, Mr. Ridgemount seemed less stressed and even offered him to have a day off! Baumer accepted the offer and decided to save his day off for later. He could take Nina somewhere. He had Giorgio to thank for helping Mr. Ridgemount with his stress.
Nina.
Baumer and Nina tried to spend as much time together as they could. Nina was starting college in the fall and they made sure to text/call as much as they could. Nina was coming today really soon. It would be her first day back. The last that they saw each other was March break and after that, exams and assignments started piling up and Nina found herself really busy. They hadn't seen each other since then. When that semester was over, Nina went to travel with Giorgio to spend time together. Baumer had been really happy for her to have spent time with her father. She really needed it. He was really excited for her to come.
"Sir?"
Baumer really missed her.
"Um, excuse me?"
And he made sure.
"Sir?"
That when he saw her.
"Sir?"
He would-
"SIR?!"
Baumer jumped in his place. "Gah! What?!" He saw Johnny standing in front of him. Baumer let out a sigh of relief. Okay good, just Johnny. His best employee. If it had been Reef… "Yes Johnny, what can I do for you?"
Johnny just stared back at him. "Before I say, are you okay? You were just staring off into space."
"Yes yes, I'm fine!" Baumer replied. "Just…excited for Nina to come, is all."
Johnny smirked.
A faint blush appeared on his cheeks. "Okay, what was it you wanted to talk about?"
"Our V.I.P guest has arrived."
"Nina?!"
"What? No. If it was her, I would have said Nina is here."
"Oh."
"Well, our V.I.P guest-"
"Wait wait, is their room all prepared?"
"Yes."
"Okay, continue."
"The V.I.P guest is here!"
As if on cue, a man in about his early twenties burst through the door with a back pack on his shoulders and suitcase in hand. He had brown tousled hair and blue eyes. He made his way over to the counter.
"That's the famous surfer Seth Evans." Johnny told Baumer.
"Ah yes, I've seen him on TV."
"You watch TV?"
Baumer narrowed his eyes to Johnny. "Yes, I watch TV."
Johnny blinked. "No! No! That's not what I meant!" He held up his hands in defense. "I mean, I wouldn't think you would watch something about surfing that's all. You don't surf."
Baumer nodded. "Okay, I see how you might think that." He then turned to Johnny. "I don't surf, but I was thinking that maybe I could learn how to so then I could surf with Nina. She enjoys it so much." A smile appeared on his face. "And I would love to do something with her that she enjoys, you know?"
Johnny grinned. "Well Andrew, leave it to me. I'll teach you how to surf." He gave Baumer a thumbs up.
Baumer smiled. "Thank you. I'll be looking forward to that."
"I'm kinda weirded out about seeing you smile all the time." Johnny teased. "Nina must have really changed you."
"For the better."
Johnny nodded.
Seth Evans put his bags on the floor and ran his hand through his hair.
"Welcome to Surfer's Paradise, Mr. Evans. My name is Andrew Baumer and I'm the daytime manager."
"Surfer's Paradise, oh my god. I'm finally here! This is such a nice hotel you have here." Seth looked around the hotel lobby, amazed. "You even have a shark tank! Holy sh-"
Baumer cleared his throat.
Seth looked over at him. "Sorry."
"It's alright." Baumer looked at him. "Now, be sure to ask me or my employees for anything you might need. We do want to make your stay more pleasurable."
Seth looked over at Johnny. "Are you an employee or another manager?"
"Employee." Johnny replied. "I work here at the front desk."
"And one of my best."
"What's your name, sir?"
Johnny blinked. Sir? That's a first. "It's Johnny."
Seth held out his hand for Johnny to take, and they shook hands. "Very nice to meet you Johnny." He turned to Baumer. "You too, sir." He then shook hands with Baumer.
Baumer kept his smile. And it wasn't forced. This kid was really polite and he wasn't rich and snobby.
" 'Kay cool, where is my room?"
"You'll be staying in the suite."
"Sweet." Seth grinned.
"Yes, the suite."
"…Okay so where is it?"
"Haha, don't you worry Mr. Evans. I'll have somebody take your bags and take you there." Baumer told him. "Now let's see…Broseph!"
What?" Broseph asked, pushing a trolley with suitcases.
"I need you to-"
"No way, Seth Evans!" He rushed over. "I'm such a fan, your surfing is amazing. I can't believe it."
"Thank you, Broseph! It's always nice to meet a fan." Seth smiled at him. "Maybe I could teach you some pointers?"
"That would be great!"
"Cool."
"I'll be right back, just stay here and I'll take you to your room." Broseph hurried onto the elevator and Seth watched it go up. "He was a cool guy."
Johnny laughed. "That's Broseph for you." He looked over at Baumer who was just staring at something. "Uhm, sir?"
Baumer had been staring at Nina, who was walking through the door with Fin next to her.
Nina's long locks have been chopped off into a nice shoulder length cut. She was wearing a white tank top and purple capris with flip flops.
Fin's hair had grown past her shoulders and it was currently tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a white tank top and green shorts with flip flops.
They were at the entrance talking to each other.
Baumer felt somebody nudge him. His head snapped to his right wear Johnny was standing.
"Sir…Seth is eyeing Fin or Nina." Johnny whispered.
Baumer looked over at Seth, who was staring at the entrance where the girls were.
Seth looked over at Baumer and Johnny. "Who's the hottie?"
He's obviously talking about Fin, right?. "Fin." Baumer replied. "Last year she was a maid, but this year, we decided to make her another surfing instructor."
"Cool." Seth made his way over to the girls. "Hello Fin."He said, taking Nina's hand and kissing it.
Baumer watched as Seth was taking Nina's hand. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
This guy…
Was interested
IN NINA?!
Baumer slammed his fist onto the front desk.
