Hitting up the Haus gym had become a somewhat infrequent habit for Jonah. Admittedly, he still wasn't the most disciplined about any type of indoors workout - at his core, the blonde was a swimmer at heart and ever since moving to the island, hitting up the beach instead of some type of workout equipment felt more enticing than ever. And to be fair, he was in good shape after all. Jonah knew he wasn't a broad-shouldered muscle man like Patrick or most of the security and lifeguards, but he was happy with his athletic physique. And yet, now and then, he did manage to motivate himself to stay inside and hit up the gym instead of the waves.
To be fair, for the most part, he did a good job focusing on himself and his workout, though it was nigh impossible not to look at the other men at the gym every now and then. Everybody here was attractive, and there was no denying he had a bit of a type - and sweaty men with well-maintained bodies were very much that type. And yet, the main reason why his gaze had wandered towards the brunette making his way out of here was that Jonah simply didn't recognize him. But before he could even begin to wonder what this new arrival might be like, he received his answer through those less than humble words.
"I-Was I? Sorry, I didn't mean to stare", Jonah replied hastily, feeling his cheeks flush a little as the other called him out so bluntly. Had he really been drooling? Absent-mindedly, the blonde wiped the corner of his lips with his forearm, not quite certain if he was being teased or not. "I promise, I was just wondering, we haven't met, right? Uhm, I'm Jonah. It's nice to meet you", he added with a slightly nervous smile.

"Using the new guy angle. Alright. I can respect that." He answered back as a cocky smirk settled on his features. Crossing his arms over his chest, his thick arms almost perfectly framing the mounds of his chest, he rolled his eyes and shook his head with amusement. "So what do you do around here when you aren't lubricating the floors, Johnny-- and, for the record, I don't really care if you stare. I get. I'd stare if I were you too. Just try to keep your mouth closed next time."
He knew he could be an asshole at times and depending on his mood Cael would try and dial it back, he was trying to change, but after catching a cute guy looking him over? His ego was so swollen there was no choice for him to be anything but arrogant.
"Name's Cael-- and if you aren't going to take a pic," he teased, "then you might want to do whatever you need to do to finish perving on me for now because as much fun as this is I was headed for the beach to try and get a swim in. Unless you feel like joining me, Goldilocks."
