You are totally bragging! Kidding. But sadly, as much as I’d love to come to Hawaii, I can’t right now. I’m in the middle of filming. I have been, actually. I’ve just begun shooting a new series. What are you u to in Hawaii? 

You have? Can you already say what it's about? Oh you know, visiting places, going to the beach, etc. Have you ever visited Hawaii?

“Wow, two weeks, too.” What were the chances of them both being there the same amount of time? She was starting to realize where maybe the mix up happened. Suddenly Piper wondered if he was there on his own also. She hadn’t remembered seeing anybody else’s things in what she thought was her room, but then again, Piper had been in too much of a shock at seeing him to snoop.

With them both now at the counter, she had to focus on the task at hand: getting this over with and getting them both to their rightful rooms. “Yes - that.” She nodded along to his words, watching the confusion on the receptionists face slowly shift to understanding. “I think we may have been double booked.” Piper let the words hang in the air, hoping that was explanation enough.

“Oh, no. I’m deeply sorry for any mix up. Let me just check right here…” The receptionist scrambled to get their information, silently pulling up some screen they both couldn’t see on their ends. Piper’s stomach dropped as she saw the woman frown to herself. “It does look like there was a mistake. I apologize, Miss, but since it looks as though Mr. Chang here checked in first, the room will stay in his name for the duration of his stay with us.” The receptionist looked at Piper’s random companion with a smile of apology. “Again we’re sorry for any inconvenience we caused.” 

The receptionist glanced back at Piper; the bad news not ending anytime soon. “Unfortunately I regret to inform you that we’re all booked up until this Tuesday. I can book you then for the duration of your stay, Miss. But we have no other availability until then.” 

Piper deflated at that. Okay, maybe she couldn’t talk her way out of this after all. Her patience was running thin, although it wasn’t the receptionists fault. Her fiancé had said he’d gotten all the arrangements sorted out months ago. Yet another thing to go up in flames. “Are you sure? There’s no other possible room until then?” Piper’s anxiety rose, shaking her head to herself. She glanced between the man beside her and the receptionist. “Is there going to be any place in town that’s not booked this week? I’ve never been here before, I don’t –” She took a breath to calm herself. “I don’t know my way around here.” 

Mike waited patiently fo whatever solution the hotel was going to offer. He was momentarily distracted as the doors slid open to welcome another group of tourists. There was a whole wold waiting out there but instead, they were stuck here hoping the mix up wouldn’t ruin their vacation.

The receptionist’s voice brought him back to reality and while Mike was at first happy to hear that he’d be keeping his room, hearing that the hotel was all booked had him wondering if he’d heard that right. His eyebrows shot up in surprise. That was not how he imagined things going and suddenly, being able to keep the room didn’t feel as good anymore. How could he be happy when Piper -who had also booked a room and paid- was going to have to stay elsewhere? He looked at her then at the receptionist, then back at Piper. He could feel her distress and couldn’t let that happen. There had to be a solution, right?

“Wait” he said, holding up one hand. This couldn’t be happening. It had started so well and now a tiny detail was threatening to ruin things. “Are you sure there’s nothing?” She’d clearly said it but deep down, Mike hoped she was mistaken. While he didn’t want to leave this hotel, he wasn’t going to just stand there and watch. It just wouldn’t be like him because it wouldn’t be fair. Mike didn’t know his way around either, it was his first trip to Hawaii but there had to be a room available somewhere, right? Hopefully not too far away from the beach. A sigh passed his lips. “She should keep the room then” he offered “I want her to have it. Is there some other place you can call, ask if there’s something for me?”

I could absolutely use a break from rehearsals and filming. As much as I love having a busy schedule… I need a little more time for socializing. Anyone up to grab a drink or a meal? I’ll even buy.

I’d be down for that but I’m currently on vacation. I don’t mean to brag but unless you can make it to Hawaii, it’ll have to wait until I’m back in L.A. So you’ve been busy?

Hawaii seemed to be most peoples dream vacation; she smiled a bit at the excitement of his words. Piper had been excited when she booked it, too, even if it had been her fiancés— ex-fiancé’s idea more than it’d been hers. She ended up being the one to be there in the end. Bittersweet, she supposed.

“Ah, vacation too. I’ve been told I should relax more. So you know, here I am.” Was all she said, not being able to find the words to tell this complete stranger that she was on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. Despite the fact that she’d seen him naked, it didn’t entirely seem appropriate. “How long are you here for?” Piper smiled at his comment, surprised that she’d done so this much in this short period of time. “Yeah, well, you can thank my flight for landing later than usual. I was supposed to be here an hour ago.”

Piper thought it over for a moment. “You catch more flies with honey than you do — being a really, really terrible customer.” A light laugh accompanied her words, as she shook her head to herself. “I can do the talking, if you want. I’m used to nervous employees. I used to be one.” That was a joke, because she was always nervous, but also a bit of the truth. Now, she ran her own business, but working with people was stressful no matter where you were. She straightened her bag up on her shoulder and waited until the desk was free for them to step up. “Excuse me?” She said as gently as she could considering the circumstances. “There seems to have been a mix-up. I believe we were given the same room. I just checked in about twenty minutes ago.” Piper dug into her purse to get out her room key, and set it on the desk. Her eyes peeled over to Mike. “And…when did you check in?”

“I wish I were here for longer but two weeks will have to do, what about you?”. It was a bit short but as good as being able to take a break felt, practice was one of the most important part of his job. It required sacrifices like leaving his parents and his ex behind but well, when it came to his ex, distance may have played a bigger role in their breakup than the pursuit of his dreams. Anyway, he was happy with his life at the moment. “But yeah, since you’re used to it I’ll gladly let you do the talking”.

Before he could joke about finding themselves in the same situation with roles reversed, they reached the desk. She made him want to know more about her. Where was she from? What did she do for a living? Was she single? Given the situation, he should be in a hurry to find a solution and get back to his vacation but he actually enjoyed her company. Her good mood was infectious and don’t even get him started on her look. She was gorgeous and with his train of thought, there was definitely trouble ahead for him.

Mike took a deep breath as she began talking to the receptionist and willed himself to focus on the conversation. Nothing felt better than drooling over Piper at the moment but they’d both need a place to sleep tonight. He fished for his room key his pocket and set it on the desk next to Piper’s, proving that they were indeed given the same room. “Um...” he looked over at her; lips stretching into a genuine smile. She was suddenly incredibly distracting and he just couldn’t help it. “I checked in about... forty five minutes ago” he merely added. After all, he’d told her she could handle it.

Piper was at a time in her life where she got anxious easily. After…everything that had happened recently, it seemed like things were going wrong at every term. She had to remind herself that this wasn’t his fault, either, and probably wasn’t the shining part of his vacation to have her barging in like she did.

His smile was disarming, and she felt herself relax with his friendliness. At least he wasn’t the self-entitled, this is my room how dare you, type. Or, he didn’t seem like he was. “Well, for what it’s worth, I hope you’re able to get a few years back. I assume you’re on vacation?” 

They reached the elevator, and stopped beside him as they waited for it. “Well, Mike,” she began, and the elevator reached them. She made her way inside first; her hand coming out to hold the elevator door for him before it closed on its own. “I’m glad.” She was relieved he was so friendly. Piper wasn’t sure what she would have done if she had to argue with some stranger. “Hopefully we can get this sorted out so you can get back to your… bath.” 

Mike stepped into the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. “I am” he confirmed “it’s my firs vacation in a while and Hawaii sounded like a dream. It does look like one too, I can’t wait to go explore. What about you?” They were making small, prompting him to start relaxing again until she mentioned the bath. It was definitely the kind of story he’d tell his friends about one day but for now, he’d much rather keep it between the two of them. Embarrassment caused his ears to turn pink but he still laughed wholeheartedly at her comment. “Yeah... that. It’s just a relief you didn’t walk in a couple minutes earlier, you would’ve gotten an eyeful”.

She was attractive, he had noticed that much, plus she actually had a sense of humor. Mike didn’t quite know why but the corners of his lips twitched into a slight smile. Things could definitely be worse.

The elevator dinged as it reached the lobby and shook him out of his thoughts. The doors opened, revealing a group of newly arrived clients, waiting to finally make their way to their rooms. “It’s almost funny to me now though” he added as he navigated through the impatient crowd to get out of the elevator. He waited for her by the doors, hands stuffed into his pockets. “So, are we playing it cool or are we going for the outraged clients demanding a compensation?” he asked playfully.

Piper had practically been forced to come on this vacation to begin with. Okay, maybe forced was a harsh word. Her Mom and her friends both said that this would be good for her. A chance to unwind. Yet this random mix up was pretty much a sign that she was a beacon for chaos wherever she went.

Or maybe she was just being dramatic and tired from all the jet lag. Whatever. That wasn’t the point.

A sigh emitted her lips, and Piper hiked her own bag up on her shoulder as she waited for him to come out. “I don’t make it a habit of barging in on people in the bathroom, for the record.” She called out, before she saw the door open and out he walked.

He seemed to be around her age, and he was being pretty friendly about this all things considered. She took in the sight of his floral shirt and khakis, and her lips lifted into a half-smile, as an ounce of humor snuck passed her guard. “Nice outfit.” Her eyes remained on him for a moment as he motioned in front of himself, and Piper made sure she had all her things before walking out and into the hall.

“Hey, so… I didn’t mean to walk in on you like that.” Her tone shifted into an apology, though she just wanted to get everything sorted already. She could at least try to make this less awkward on their way to the lobby just in case they ran into each other again during their stay here. ”So I’m sorry if I scared you.” She glanced at him as they started to walk. “I’m Piper.” She said after a beat, and tried to make a joke to clear the air. “You’re not going to report me for breaking and entering, right?” 

His lips stretched into a tiny smirk at the comment on his outfit. It was probably a bit cliché but he didn’t mind. Mike wanted to clear things up as soon as possible so they could both go back to whatever they were here for. It was such a shame that something like this could happen here, in a high-class hotel. But then again... to err is human, right? He left the room after her and closed the door behind them. If there was no other solution, anyone who knew Mike knew that he would try to be a gentleman and let her have the room. It was just a place to sleep after all, that was so much to do and see outside. 

He stole a quick glance at her. The least one could say was that he wouldn’t forget about this first day of vacation anytime soon. Besides, she was being rather cool about her. He certainly knew a few people who would’ve made a scene.

The sound of her voice brought him back to reality as they made their way down the hallway and even made him smile. He pressed the button to call the elevator. “I figured you didn’t when you realized that there was a naked man in what was supposed to be your bathtub” he chuckled. The thought didn’t even cross his mind. After all, she didn’t look like a voyeur or like scammer. “I wouldn’t say that you scared me though” he added after a while “More like... startled. Even if it feels like a few years have been shaved off my life. But we’re good Piper, and in spite of what happened, it’s an absolute pleasure to meet you. I’m Mike”.

As the woman shrieked, startling Mike like never before, it felt as if his heart could jump out of his chest. “Holy sh-” he shouted, almost jumping out of the tub. Now, that would have been embarrassing. It was actually… but he was just going to act as if he was controlling the situation. He looked over at her, surprise and shock written all over his features. What the hell was going on? Why was she here and why was she asking him what he was doing? One minute he was fully relaxed and the next, he felt like he was about to have a heart attack. 

As if it could make him feel less embarrassed, Mike’s first reaction was to gather as much foam as possible to hide his penis. The fact that she probably couldn’t see it from where she stood and that she was even covering her eyes didn’t stop him. If he didn’t feel so awkward right now, her reaction would probably make him laugh. She couldn’t be a maid, could she? She wasn’t dressed as one plus her question confirmed what he thought.

Hoping to lower his heart rate, he took a deep breath. There had to be an explanation. He made a move to stand but reminded himself that he was naked and should spare them both more embarrassment. The water didn’t feel as good anymore but Mike resigned himself and brought both hands to cover his manhood. “This is room 401…″ he confirmed before clearing his throat “That’s the room I was given”. Was this some sort of mix up like he’d seen in movies? He sure hoped there was a solution to please everyone because now that he’d seen this room, he didn’t want to give it up.

“Please don’t tell me you’ve been given this room as well” he sighed, stating the obvious. The initial shock was wearing off and leaving room to slight annoyance. It had started so well… “Would you mind…” he started, gesturing for her to turn around “We should probably head down to the front desk to sort this out”.

The brief moment of relaxation she felt when she initially entered the hotel room quickly disappeared the moment she entered the bathroom. She didn’t even know fully what the guy looked like, since she’d been blindsided by him in all his… nakedness just chilling there like this was his room. Piper took a sharp intake of breath as she lowered her hand, but still had her eyes remained closed.

”If I could come over there right now and it not be super weird—” her voice cracked as it was just a smidgen too high, a surefire sign of the anxiety and awkwardness the situation inspired. Her hand waved in the air as she spoke. “I’d show you my key. I’m 401.” Her words finally slowed down, and she dared to open one eye, just to see him motion her out. She quickly turned, yanking the door open and stepping out. She stood just outside the door, her back turned and mind still reeling. This was definitely not what she’d been expecting. But of course something went wrong today. 

He was right though, if there was some kind of mix up, they’d go downstairs and fix this. Piper walked over to the bed to grab her bag, the one she’d slid her key card into, and grabbed it to pull it out. 401, in clear print. As she lowered it, it was only then that she noticed signs of the room being lived in. How did she not notice it before? A thought suddenly dawned on her, and she turned back toward the bathroom to call out to him. 

“Do you…” This felt ridiculous, honestly. “Do you have any clothes in there?”

[mikechangjr]

As soon as she left the room, Mike grabbed one of the towels sitting on the marble counter and proceeded to dry himself. He huffed. As good looking as this woman was, being caught in his naked glory wasn’t exactly his idea of flirting. How could they mess up so badly in that kind of hotel? It wasn’t like it was a standard room after all. Wow. Just... wow. 

Okay, he needed to take a deep breath and calm down. There was no need to get worked up. The staff would definitely find a solution to make everyone happy. It wasn’t like he was going to make a scene anyway. Mike was too affable and polite to get angry over something like this. Everyone could mess up, right? To err is human. However, since he was planning to be a gentleman and let the lady have his room, he sure hoped he would be given the same type of room. Being upgraded wouldn’t be too bad either.

Mike wrapped the towel around his waist and casually walked out of the bathroom as the woman spoke. Her question made him smile but he tried to hide that from her. Now, he was starting to think her reaction was funny. “I don’t” he shrugged, making a beeline for his bag. He had not even unpacked yet; that was how excited he’d been to make the most of everything the hotel had to offer. Instead, he had a problem on his hands.

Without removing the towel, he quickly slipped a pair of boxer briefs on then pulled a Hawaiian shirt and a pair of khaki shorts from his bag. Now that there was an item of clothing covering his family jewels, he didn’t feel as self-conscious. Not to mention that the sooner he got dressed, the sooner they’d get sorted out. Would it be weird to make small talk while he got dressed? Since they didn’t know each other, he could only imagine that it would.

Ignoring the fact that he looked like Magnum 2.0, Mike grabbed his backpack and gestured toward the door. “After you”.

(Not) So Sweet Serendipity

Mike sighed as he lowered himself into the water. Taking a bubble bath had been the first thing on his mind after the (almost) 6 hour flight between Los Angeles and Honolulu and that’s exactly what he proceeded to do once he was in his suite. The past few days had been intense and the warm water felt like heaven to his sore muscles. Don’t even get him started on the view. The bathtub was facing a large terrasse overlooking the bay. As for the bedroom? The view of the turquoise water beach was even better from there. It was exactly what he was looking for: a relaxing environment.

How long had it been since he last went on vacation? His job required commitment and discipline, plus the amount of practice and dedication was insane. It was also rewarding because it Mike was now competing with the best. Actually, he was one of the best. His latest title proved it.

A delighted groan passed his lips as he sat back and relaxed. He could already imagine himself sipping cocktails by the pool, enjoying massages at the spa, swimming in the ocean and why not attend a few parties and flirt a little. It was time to forget about the daily grind, to forget about L.A. and just go with the flow.

Piper almost talked herself out of going on this vacation about - at least six different times before she’d convinced herself to get on the plane and not look back. Well, mostly. It’d taken some major convincing on the behalf of her friends and her own Mother, and she begrudgingly agreed if only to appease them. The empty plane seat beside her was a constant reminder of the person who was supposed to be on this trip with her, so instead of dwelling, she glued herself to her phone for at least half of the plane ride, telling herself there was nothing wrong with getting some work done before she got to her hotel room.

But as she landed and made her way to said hotel, reality started to dawn on her, leaving behind a hollow feeling in her chest that only slightly eased with the smiles of the staff as she checked in and was handed her card. She wondered if they felt sorry for her, if they knew it was originally a reservation for two, but she shoved that thought out of her mind by offering the staff a small smile as her big bags were taken with the promise of dropping them off for her later.

She hiked her carry on bag up on her shoulder and made her way to her room, letting herself in and becoming absolutely floored at how beautiful it was. For the first time all day, the smile that crossed her face was genuine as she slowly made her way inside, letting the door fall softly shut behind her. She shrugged off her bag on the nearest bed, not seeing the items that looked like they already had an owner, and walked to the window where she spread open the curtains. The view was… unbelievable, and for a split second, maybe she was glad she came if just for this. 

After a few moments, Piper walked around the spacious room, before noticing a light shining underneath the door of what she assumed to be the bathroom. She cocked her head to the side in curiosity, but thought nothing of it as she figured staff must have left the light on for her. Merely just exploring, she walked over to push the door open, and was promptly meant with the sight of a full ass man lounging in the tub.

A small yelp pulled from her lips as she took a few steps backwards, eyes wide as she stared at him, clearly shirtless and well-built and a complete stranger in her hotel room?! “What are you doing?!” Her words rose in a panicked octave as her hand slapped over her eyes, not sure if it was out of embarrassment at having walked in on him, or trying to be respectful for whatever reason. She backed up until her back hit the wall, maybe perhaps the teensiest bit over-dramatic. “Is this not room 401??”
