The walk to the mansion ends up being a little longer than ten minutes. This is due to the fact that Becca mistakenly went the wrong direction to her beach house. She apologizes profusely once she realizes they've been going to the wrong way.
"Sorry, I must've gotten confused! I saw this beach shack and realized we've been going the wrong way! We'll have to turn back around! Sorry you guys, and sorry Alex!"
You noticed how she apologized to the group, but especially apologized to Alex, looking for some real forgiveness in him.
"That's alright Becca." your ultra-buff younger brother responds, with a subtle wink that you catch. Becca goes a bit weak in the knees. "Hey, let's stop at this shack and turn around once we're ready, no?" he offers to the group.
You look over to the beach shack. It's actually a sort of convenience store, just themed to look more beach appropriate. Your brother leads the way inside, with everyone including you following. The inside is nice and air-conditioned, and reprieve from the sun.
"Gonna go get some drinks!" Alex says. All of the girls follow, some attached to his buff arms, and the other four guys split from there, leaving you alone at the entrance. You look around, not particularly interested in getting anything from the place. There are little beach themed trinkets strew about the place. Your attention in drawn to a little TV in the upper corner of the store, attached to the wall behind the register counter.
A news anchor is presenting some mundane news, something about a car accident on the highway near the beach. Nothing horrible, just warning folks to expect traffic. She finishes her report and the channel cuts to commercial. You nearly have a heart attack seeing what pops up on the screen.
It's a closeup of Alex, flashing a perfect white grin. The camera pans out, revealing him shirtless and holding a can of something. His muscles look extra shiny, tan, and massive as always. He's at a beach, with him sitting at a small table in the sand. He takes a sip of the drink.
"Ahhh! That's the stuff! G-water! Sparkling water meant to rejuvenate, cleanse, and refresh!" He drinks it rather sloppily, some of the sparkling water traveling down his neck, and all over his sculpted pecs and abs. He sets the drink down and runs towards a volleyball match happening in the background. His impressive back muscles highlighted as he jogs away, and the camera panning to the drink on the table. The 'G-water' logo appears on screen, and the commercial ends.
It was... surreal seeing your nerdy brother advertise products on TV. Especially when it's obvious they're milking how good he looks on camera. You look behind you and can see your brother messing with the girls at the fridges in the back. He's holding a couple drinks, laughing and flirting with two of the girls. He bounces his pecs for them as they squeal in delight.
Ugh. Why did HE get to have all this? In the blink of an eye the world flipped upside down, and it just so happened to have made your brother into a total adonis-hunk, adored by just about everyone he encounters. You wait at the counter...
