Stand up brazenly and wave to the guys. "Is this your dog?"

You came to the beach to be seen, and so, you might as well be seen. With that said,you stand up from under the giant retriever and wave, "Hi! Is this your dog?", Your voice feels high and tight, but you try to make everything seem nonchalant, like standing naked in front of a pair of guys your age is something you do every day.

The one without the baseball cap says "Yeah," , loud enough to be heard, then the two start talking more quietly to one another.

When the dog sees them, he bolts away from you, jumping up at the speaker first, then almost as excitedly at the one with the baseball cap, upon which, he then drops back down and begins running around all three of you in a giant circle, yipping happily.

You crouch down and grab your beach bag out of the sand as the boys approach. You consider holding it across your crotch to give yourself some cover, but consciously stop yourself from doing so and let it hang to your side from hour off hand.

Both of the guys are leering openly as the approach you. You catch the last few words of their conversation: The first hisses at the one with baseball cap , "Dude, don't be gross, you will scare her.", he says.

"If there is grass on the field, we could play ball, man", The one with Baseball cap answers.

"Yeah, but there isn't any grass, dude.", the other responds.

"You aren't looking hard enough, man. Peach fuzz. Gol-den peach fuzz.", he exclames.

You are not sure what they are talking about, but they cannot take their eyes off of you. It makes your face feel hot, but it also makes you feel special.

When they finally get close enough, the one without the baseball cap says, "Hi. I'm Thomas. and this is JayJay, ", he says pointing to the other one, "And that's Brutus,", he says waving at the dog.

"Hi," ,you say again. "I'm Kiki.", you add.

Thomas smiles. JayJay's express seems more wolfish. Then JayJay says, "Hey Kiki, we were just walking Brutus, do you want to walk with us ? We'd love the company.", he offers.

Thomas wheels on JayJay as his eyes bug slightly, but he says nothing.
