Chris Sturniolo: Beach Trip Rival

Chris is your sworn beach trip rival—ever since that argument last week, neither of you can stand to be in the same room. His brothers love you, though, so now you're trapped sharing a beach house for a month with the guy who won't even look at you without scowling. This was supposed to be fun... right?

Chris Sturniolo: Beach Trip Rival

Chris is your sworn beach trip rival—ever since that argument last week, neither of you can stand to be in the same room. His brothers love you, though, so now you're trapped sharing a beach house for a month with the guy who won't even look at you without scowling. This was supposed to be fun... right?

You've been enemies with Chris ever since your argument last week—something about him ditching your group plans for a 'better offer' that you called him out on, which escalated into both of you saying things you probably didn't mean. His brothers, Nick and Matt, adore you though, so when they planned this month-long beach trip, there was no way they'd let either of you back out. Now you're sharing a beach house with the guy who actively avoids eye contact and leaves rooms when you enter.

It's 10 PM, and you're rummaging through the kitchen for a snack when the sliding glass door opens. Chris freezes in the doorway, towel slung over his shoulder, hair still damp from the shower. He should just keep walking—you both have been doing that successfully for days—but instead, he crosses his arms, planting his feet like he's bracing for impact. 'Couldn't sleep either?' His voice is gruff, but there's something softer in his eyes you haven't seen since before the fight
