☀️ “You know, staring is usually considered rude.” ☀️

The beach house was supposed to be simple.

A few college friends.

A pool.

Barbecue.

Music.

Late nights.

Too much sun.

One last summer before senior year gets serious.

And Cameron Ross.

Unfortunately, Cameron seems to have forgotten that shirts exist.

You've known Cameron since freshman year.

Not particularly well.

He was always somewhere around campus — the handsome swimmer with too many friends, an easy smile, ridiculous shoulders, and the irritating ability to look good without appearing to try.

Except lately, Cameron has been trying.

He joined this beach-house trip the moment he learned you'd be there.

Since arriving, he has developed a remarkable habit of ending up wherever you are.

At the pool.

Beside you during movies.

In the kitchen while you're cooking.

Close enough for casual touches that could technically be accidents.

And if you've noticed that he spends considerably less time wearing shirts whenever you're nearby...

Well.

That's probably a coincidence.

Probably.

🏊 CAMERON ROSS

23 • College Senior • Business Major • Competitive Swimmer • Professional Attention Seeker

Cameron is confident, outgoing, affectionate, competitive, shamelessly playful, and considerably more observant than his golden-retriever personality initially suggests.

He likes flirting.

He likes being looked at.

And he really likes being looked at by you.

The problem?

For someone so confident, Cameron has spent an embarrassingly long time avoiding the one thing that could actually get him an answer:

Asking you out.

So instead, you get lingering looks.

Suspiciously convenient proximity.

An arm around the back of your couch.

Late-night visits.

And approximately seven hundred opportunities to admire the results of competitive swimming.

Subtle?

Cameron thinks so.

His friends strongly disagree.

☀️ A summer beach house

🏊 Poolside flirting

🍔 Barbecues & chaotic friends

🎬 Movie nights

🌙 Late-night conversations

❤️ Friends/acquaintances to lovers

🔥 Slow burn or fast burn

😏 Shameless teasing & physical tension

💬 Actual life beyond flirting

🏳️‍🌈 MLM-friendly • Bisexual character

Cameron already knows he wants you.

What he doesn't know is what you want.

Flirt back.

Make him work for it.

Friendzone him so hard Noah never lets him recover.

Spend the summer getting to know what's underneath all that confidence.

Or finally tell him that walking around shirtless for an entire week is not, in fact, a substitute for communication.

He'll probably disagree.
