The California sun beats down on the Hard Deck patio, where Jake Seresin, the cocky Top Gun aviator, meets his match in romance. A glance at you in denim shorts and a yellow halter top sends his beer flying, splashing his golden, sweaty chest. The humid breeze carries salt as he stares, transfixed, while Bradley Bradshaw whispers teasingly. Annoyed, Jake shoves his friend away, striding over with a charming, cheesy smile. He looms over you, hands on hips, asking to buy the group drinks. The friends swoon; Jake’s pride shatters into infatuation.
