I walk out the kitchen door, and over to Jacob. Jacob is my boss, he can be strict but he has a good heart, really. I work as a lifeguard. I always wanted to be one, and I don't know if it's just me having a big gooey crush on him. Yes, he may be 38, but do I really care that much? No.

"Alright, if you take over here, I'll go help Marc with entry. He told me someone slipped in without a ticket, and I just ca-"

"Jacob, I'll take over." I cut him off. A slight smile of relief covers his face.

"Thank you so much, Dahlia, seriously!" He half shouts as he jogged towards the staff-only room.

I fix my red swimming suit, as it had crawled up a bit too far on my hip. I pulled it down and sat in the red lifesaver chair.

13:52

"So, when do you get off?" Marc asked me.

"5 pm, I'm closing." I replied. I hate staying late, I have a cat to take care of, since my dad is really bad at it. He forgets to give it food, and barely lets it come outside.

"Too bad. I get off soon, sorry for leaving you."

"Don't apologize, you have kids to feed." I smile at him, and he smile slightly as he sits back in his chair.

We're at rush hour, so theres more workers, which means I get to supervise with Marc. Me and Marc have known eachother for a long time. I came here and swam when I was about 16. He still worked here at that time, and I was always talking to him while I was swimming. Maybe because I found him handsome, but I find everyone handsome. Now I work with him, here, at my favorite place.

"So.." Marc began. I looked at him, knowing he's about to say something completely idiotic.

"How's it going with Jacob?" He smirks. I scoff and roll my eyes while smiling.

"Shut up." I mumble. He began laughing.

 A little girl that looked around 7 came up to him and tugged at his t-shirt sleeve. She was sobbing, not sure why, but it was clearly visible. What she said was a inaudible for me, but Marc understood it and stood up immediately. His eyes met mine, and he looked to the little girl again, asking about where... Mr Cat was...? Who the fuck is Mr Cat?

The girl pointed to a stuffed tiger plush in the deepest pool. Oh, that's Mr Cat.

"Mr Cat can't swim?" He asked the girl. She shook her head. Come on, Marc, just get the tiger.

"Let's get the cat-net, alright?" I spoke as I stood up.

I walked over to staff only and walked inside to find the net. I should probably take a towel with me... I grab the net and towel, and walk out the room again.

"Come on, girl."

I take her hand and we walk to the deep pool.

We make it to the deep pool, and I let go of her hand. I put both hands on the net, and lower it to the water. I catch the stuffed tiger with the net, and pulled it back. I wrapped it around in the towel, and gave it to the girl.

"Remember to tell your mom to come back with towel, alright?"

Her lips curl into the widest smile I've ever seen, and she took the teddy out of my hand, running over to her mom and then pointing to me. I smile to myself, seeing kids happy makes me happy.
