The day started out as clear as it possibly could and the air was fresh. I decided to take a walk along the beach. The sand was soft under my bare feet and I smiled as the wind lightly blew through my hair. I watched the sea gulls as they went for their morning meal. About half way down from where I was slowly walking, were two guys sitting in beach chairs enjoying the morning sun as I was. I kept my path and quietly walked by them. One of them spoke as I did, "You new here?" I stopped and turned around. I smiled and replied, "Actually, yeah I am. I moved here two weeks ago for the summer." The dark haired one said, "You own that tan beach house then, right?" I nodded and said, "Needed major work though." He smiled and said standing up, "I'm Darren. And this is Daniel."
I smiled again and said, "I'm Angela. Nice to meet you both." He grinned. The blonde one spoke, "Listen. We're throwing a party later. You're welcome to join us if ya like." I beamed and replied, "Sure. Okay. Sounds like fun." He smiled and nodded. We chatted abit more then I waved bye to them and proceeded on with my morning walk. Later that day, I went into town and bought a new summer outfit and some things for the house. I ran into one of my friends that I grew up with, in New York. I spoke excitedly when I saw her, "Sheri? Oh my god! what are you doing here?" She turned around when she heard me and gave me a big hug then answered, "I just moved here. This past weekend! How are you?" I grinned and said, "I'm just great! Got invited to a beach party this evening by two gorgeous guys." She smiled and spoke, "Already getting in good with the locals eh?"
I laughed and nodded then said, "I think I'm gonna enjoy living here in Australia." She winked and said with a laugh, "It gets better. Believe me." We chatted some more as we walked through some of the shops. Sheri and I went to the same schools right up until I moved down to Charlotte, NC and she moved out west. We had managed to stay in touch on a monthly basis, but she didn't mention to me that she had a bought a place here in Australia. I still live in NC.. this was more like a summer place for me. Sheri though, had actually moved here to stay. I found out that her roomate and she had gotten into a huge argument over something trivial and moved out.
I spoke as we sat down at a table in a restaurant that we chose to have lunch in, "Do you want to go to that party I spoke of tonight?" She smiled and answered after setting down her drink, "Sounds like a great time. Sure I'll go. You don't think they'll mind do ya?" I shook my head no. She grinned. We enjoyed our meal and chatted some more.
Later that afternoon as I readied myself for the party, I heard a knock on the front door. I sat down my beach towel and opened it. A smile went across my face. It was the dark haired guy I'd met that morning, Darren. I spoke before he did, "What brings you here?" He grinned and answered, "Just came to escort you to the party is all." I smiled again and said, "That was sweet of you. Thanks." He nodded and came inside when I offered for him to. Hardly had I closed the door when the phone started ringing . "Oh shit ... I'll be right back, ok ?" I said and went back into the my room. I answered the phone: it was Sheri . She told me she was held up and couldn't go to the party tonight . She sounded a little bit upset, but told me she didn't have the time to talk to me and that she would be ok ... I didn't insist and hung up . I went back out to the living room, and found Darren waiting for me in front of the door ."Ok, we can go now ." I said . "Nothing serious I hope ..." he told me . I motioned no and closed the door behind us .
We got into his car, a black Jeep, and drove to his house . During the trip, I thought it would be a good thing to know a little more about my two hosts, and I started talking . "So, how long have you known Daniel ?" I asked ."6 years now", he answered after thinking for a while ."And ... " I hesitated a little ... "And you live ... together?" I finally asked ."Yes, we actually work together, so we thought it would make it easier if we moved in the same house ." "Oh I see ! And what kind of job do you do ?" Darren looked very surprised by this question . He was looking at me, with an amused look and a wide smile on his face . "What ?" I asked . "what have I said that is so funny ?" He laughed and shook his head in disbelief . He then looked at me again and finally answered, "Nothing ... nothing ... erm, let's say we are musicians." "Really ? What kind of music ?" "I guess you could call this Pop music ... Daniel plays guitar and keyboards, and I sing ..." "Oh, that's great ! Will you play something tonight?" I asked, looking forward to hearing them play . "Well maybe, we'll see ..."
We went on chatting until we reached his house . It was already full of people I didn't know, who were chatting, drinking, dancing, singing along to the deafening music . "Ray of light" by Madonna was playing through the speakers . Darren spotted Daniel in the crowd, and motioned for him to join us, which he did . "Hey mate, you remember Angela ?" "Yes of course ! Hello Angela ! Wanna drink of something ?" I could hardly hear what he was saying because of the music . "Yes of course, thank you !" I answered . I followed the guys through the crowd up to the bar, and got myself a drink, a tequila . Then they excused themselves, saying they still had some guests to see ... I ended up alone, drinking my tequila among people I had never seen in my whole life . A young woman then approached me, and said something to me . "Erm ... excuse me, I didn't hear because of the music ... What did you say?" I asked .
She repeated, louder this time, "I was asking you whether you were a fan ..." She said . I was totally puzzled . "A fan ? A fan of what ? A fan of whom ?" I asked . "Well, a fan of the guys ." "The guys ?" "Darren and Daniel ... " "Why should I be a fan ? I don't understand ... Are these guys famous or something ?" The girl burst out laughing . "Oh, don't tell me you don't know who they are ! What are you doing here then ?" She asked smiling . "Well I met them this morning on the beach ... Could you tell me what this is all about please ?" I was totally confused . She laughed once again . "Sure, well Daz and Dan are the two members of a very successful band called Savage Garden ... You've never heard about them, really ?" I was thinking ... Savage Garden ... Savage Garden ... Savage Garden ... "I want you ... " I finally remembered. "Of course, I heard that song a while ago ... But I didn't know what the guys looked like . I have never seen the videos ..." She nodded. I understood now why Darren had seemed so astonished when I asked him what was his job ... "Hey, you sure missed the best part of their music, if you see what I mean! " she giggled . "yes I know, they are gorgeous !" I agreed chuckling . Then a I felt a hand on my shoulder . I span around and saw Daniel, who was smiling at me .
"I see you've already met Anna-Maria ... She's one of our back-up singers . What were the two of you talking about ?" "Us ? Nothing ..." replied Anna innocently . Then she looked at me, and we both burst out laughing . "Nothing ... I see, yes, of course ..." Dan smiled . And that's the one thing he shouldn't have done ...Oh God this smile ! I felt myself falling hard as soon as I saw it. No one could resist this! The three of us walked towards the center of the room, where we joined Darren . I thought I owed him a few exlanations . "Darren, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were in Savage Garden ... I mean, I knew your songs, but I didn't know what you looked like, so I didn't recognize you ... If I had known ..." "Don't worry about this. " he interrupted " I was just surprised, because stuff like that doesn't happen to us very often, that's all..." I smiled at his reply .
The night went by very pleasantly, we drank a little, and I was introduced to all the members of the band . At one moment, Daniel asked me for a dance . I of course accepted .I expected something slow, and was quite surprised when I heard the song "Push it" by Garbage being played . But I felt something that quickly pulled me out of my surprise . It was Daniel ... He had put his arms around me and was standing so close to me, smiling seductively and looking at me straight in the eyes . That did it ! I felt extremely hot all of a sudden ! He was rubbing himself against me, caressing my back with his hands, pulling me closer and closer to his body ... All the guests were standing in a circle around Daniel and me .They were screaming, laughing, "encouraging" us ... He was hard against me . In my head, I was screaming too . What was going to happen next ? The song finally ended, and everyone in the room applauded . Daniel started laughing, and so did I . I was wondering whether he would kiss me or not ... But no, it didn't happen . He took my hand and led me back among the other guests . And instead of kissing me as I expected it, he started kissing Darren passionately . At first, I thought he was drunk and that his friend would push him away ... But when I saw Darren returning the kiss, and their hands sliding on each other's body, I understood it was not a game ... They were serious . And I thought that this was certainly not the first time it had happened ...
I watched them in silence.. None of what was happening between them seemed to attract anyone else's attention. Almost like they didn't even see it going on. I lowered my head then smiled abit and went to find the bathroom. I did so, just off of the hallway to the left. I walked in and closed the door behind me then walked to the counter and peered into the mirror and said under my breath, "This has to be the tequila working on me.. I didn't just see that happen. There's no way that I saw that." I grinned at my reflection then went about my business and washed my hands afterwards and went to re-join the party. When I walked back in there, I didn't see Darren or Daniel and a few of the guests had already left. I spotted Anna standing over by Nicole and Ben then walked over there to them and asked, "Where's the guys at?" Nicole answered with a giggle, "They went for a walk." I grinned to myself then said, "A walk?" She nodded.
Anna added in, "Try down by the beach." I smiled and said, "I think I'm gonna head back to my place.. when you see Darren again, let him know where I went." She nodded as did the others. I waved to them and left. The night air was abit cool but not too bad. I walked down the stairs of the porch and onto the sand and headed back to my place that was about 20 minutes from where I was. When I reached my bungalow, I noticed Daniel sitting on the wooden deck of the place. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. He smiled then stood up. I finally spoke after a bit, "What are you doing here? Where's Darren?" He walked toward me and waited at the edge of the steps then said as I started up them, "He'll be here in a bit. We need to talk. Can we?" I stopped two steps below from where he was then looked at him and said with a slight smile, "Talk? What do we have to talk about. Really." He watched me for abit then answered, "I know you saw me and Darren kissing at the party." I looked down and away then back at him and said walking past him, "What you guys do is your business. It's not my place to say anything."
Daniel let me by him then said as I opened the door, "Please. Can we just talk." I stopped and listened to how he had said that then sighed and said after abit, "Sure. Come in." I heard him walk toward me then I went inside and left the door open for him. Once inside, he shut it back and stood by it with his arms folded. I waited for him to say something else. The silence was somewhat ackward so I was the one that ended up breaking it, "Want anything to drink? Water or something?" He shook his head no then said, "No thank you." I smiled abit then walked into the kitchen and proceeded to get me a glass of lowfat milk. I heard him walk in then said as he came up behind me and touched my hair, "What I want, is you." I closed my eyes at the feel of his touch and the words he said. I sat down the milk carton and glass then said softly, "I thought you and Darren were.." He turned me around before I could finish my sentence and pulled me close to him. I moaned aloud as I felt his tongue enter my mouth.
The suddeness of his gesture had caught me offguard at first. After the intial shock of it, I slowly put my arms around his waist and gave into his kiss. He slowed the kiss abit and pushed back against the counter then gently lifted me up until I was sitting on the top of it. Daniel moved his hands up onto my waist then reached up and began to un-do the top that I was wearing. I groaned slightly as it fell down off of me. He broke the kiss and looked at me with that stunning smile and said touching my face lightly, "What do you think of me right now. Honestly." I looked at him abit puzzled then said, "I don't know what to think, really. I mean what I witnessed at the party threw me off abit, I'll admit it. I wasn't expecting that obviously." He smiled again then said running his hands down the front of me and back onto my waist, "You witnessed something that not everyone gets the pleasure of. Darren and I are lovers, yes. But we're also into women. Obviously.." He grinned. I smiled and looked down. Daniel lifted my chin then continued, "We both have taken a liking to you. Both of us." I blushed abit. Then asked, "And so what am I supposed to do about that?" He moved my legs apart and moved closer to me then said as he kissed my mouth then moved to my left ear, "We both want you."
