Something was Vibrating next to his head, slowly he opened his eyes. He lazily lifted his head from the keyboard and picked up his phone. It showed that, his friend Robert had been calling. ‘Past 15, fuck!’, he was supposed to meet up with his friends at 2. They had planned to go to the lake together. He quickly called back Robert, after being scolded for a short while, he promised to hurry over as fast as he could.

Twenty minutes later, he showed up at the lake. Robert was sitting there, checking out the sunbathing women with a lewd grin on his face. “Am I interrupting something?” Rana asked coming up to his friend.

— Nah, just sunbathing and enjoying the view.

— You are just a pervert, always hanging at the beach to check out some naked women, even thought you have a partner…

— I am, so what?

— Shameless… you’re a lost cause

— Ha ha ha

Both started to catch up on their lives, they were brothers so to say but Robert was always very busy and spent most of his spare time ‘taking care’ of his partner Lillian. After some time, Rana started bringing up his adventures of the past days up, leaving the dreams out. Hearing his story from work, it was Roberts turn to think of Rana as a lost cause.

— Why did you not just shag her? It’s not as if you’ll have to spend the rest of your life with her.

— I am not into that kind of women…

— What does it matter? You are a guy are you not? Guys shag when they can or are you gay?

— You are just a brainless horny bastard, of course it matters. And what does it have to do with being a guy? I am not just going to shag someone because I could. Also, she doesn’t even really want me, she just wants to shut me up. That’s such a turn off, I am not some kind of shameless bastard without morals that will take advantage of someone.

— It’s not like she did not offer herself up to you. You have her number, no? Call her over let’s have fun all three of us.

— Stupid monkey, you have Lillian.

— Haha, maybe I should call her over instead.

…

After fighting and teasing each other Rana, continued on and told the kidnapping story. Robert could not stop laughting when he heard the end of it, “Hahaha, you are such a party crusher“.

After catching up, they undressed and went swimming. After a few laps, they had a small water brawl. Usually Robert would win these kinds of games, but something about Rana had changed, and he subdued Robert after a few moves. Their fight had been pretty noisy, and as the two handsome naked man stepped out of the water they caught quite a few eyes from the women around.

They sat back down and letting the sun dry their bodies. Robert took some food and a bottle of booze out of his bag. And they happily ate and drank discussing and gossiping about this and that. After half an hour, it was starting to get cooler, so they dressed up and packed their stuff.

After seeing Robert off, Rana was going to walk to the closest tram station, when he heard a bright voice behind him, ”Excuse-me? Can you help me?”. Rana turned around, there was a young woman standing looking at him. She was about a head smaller than Rana, and had an athletic body. Her fair white skin was covered in a series of entrancing tattoos, the long charcoal black hair was covering her breast but unable to hide their beautiful shape. Her golden eyes looked at Rana curiously as he got lost in them. After a moment, she waved her hand in front of his eyes, as if checking if he was present. That made Rana snap out of it, “Ehem sure. How can i help?”. “My phone just died on me, can you lend me yours, to make a call?” she asked showing him her phone. Rana took out his phone and passed it to her. She typed in a number while asking his name. Just after he had told her, her phone rang. She passed him his phone back “Thanks, I am Myria!”, she cutely stuck out her tongue and vanished. Rana just stood there for a while feeling at a loss.

After arriving at home, Rana read the new chapters of his favourite webnovel 『The Idle System』. He then took a shower and went to bed, but had a hard time falling asleep, somehow Myria had slipped through his defences, and he could not get her of his mind.
