Bondi Rescue (idk the title yet)

Wine

i woke up the next morning, with a headache and puffy eyes. when i get home yesterday. i had a bottle of wine and pretty much just let out all of my emotions from that body retrieval yesterday. I know it's part of the job but it was heavy. i didn't let my emotions get to me at the time so i guess they sort of had to come out. i checked my phone when i got up, wel i was still in bed. it was around 8am and i had a txt from Jake which doesn't make sense because h gave me his number not the other way round.
J- sorry i missed your call i was out with the boys are you ok?
that was at 1am, i don't remember calling him but i guess that's the result of wine. white wine kills me i get drunk so quickly from a couple of glasses give me anything else and i'm fine for a while but wine.. not ok. I got up and had a shower i feel a bit better today. i need to go shopping today to get some groceries. So i chuck on an outfit and head out. it's quite warm today but cloudy.

*this is the fit*

When i get to the store, i grab the bits i need and another bottle of wine. when i go to checkout i bump into jake, i guess he has a day off today.
"hey caitlin you ok?"
"yeah i'm ok, are you not working today?"
"no day off thank god. what are you doing now?"
"oh i was just going to go home just a quick shop. what about you?"
"same same." then we stand in silence so i do something i've never done and i ask him out well not out but yh. i wave the bottle of wine in my hand.
"want to come back to mine?"
he laughs and agrees.
"i've bought my car tho so we can drive if you want." i agree and we head to his car i tell him my address and off we go.
after some time we arrive at my apartment. i unlock the door and let him in. i rush around the kitchen cleaning up the wine glass, beer glasses and the empty bottles.
"sorry about the mess. I-"
he laughs. "someone have a party last night."
"no more like drowning my sorrows." i blurt out. what a way to start.
"oh"
"sorry that just came out. i'm fine really. anywayyyy wine."
i grab two glasses and pour out the wine. we sit on the couch.
"so how are you really doing i know yesterday was your first day, and first body retrieval." i take a deep breathe he really wants to know, he's looking me right in the eyes. genuinely concerned.
"i mean obviously it's not the best. it's quite heavy. but i think i'll be ok. just... i don't know how to explain it, it feels like it's my fault. I missed it. i was in the tower watching." i start to tear up again
"caitlin.." he takes my hand "it is nobody's fault, these things happen ok, we do our best to save people and make sure they are safe, but there's sometimes people we cannot save."
"i know that. i'm sorry i'm just being emotional and silly. i know"
"never apologise for being human. it happens, the thoughts go round and round in your head about what you could've done, but honestly there's nothing." i don't know what but i just cry.
"hey it's ok come here." he pulls me into a hug and i just stay there until i calm down.
"thank you Jake thank you so much."
"it's ok i'm always here for you."
i pull away and we are close. our faces are so close. his eyes are locked are mine. i look at his lips and back up at him. he does the same, and we inch closer until our lips touch. and we kiss, his lips are soft, i have butterflies.
he pulls away. and smiles i smile back. we are both blushing. i really like him. like really really like him. I look down and he takes my hand again.
"i really like you caitlin."
"i like you too."
and we kiss again.
a couple hours later of chatting and drinking he tells me he has work tomorrow so he should go. I walk him out the apartment, as he leaves he kisses me and hugs me.
"i'll see you soon ok, you have my number. and i'll see you back at work. call me if you need me i mean it. it's ok if your sad about what happened."
i hug him again and thank him. once he leaves i do a silly little happy dance. and then clean up. once i've done so, i go to bed.
