The Lifeguard

Over Time...

"Break's over Caleb" I heard someone's voice say from afar

"I'm really sorry Dani, I've gotta go." Caleb said as he jumped out of the pool

"Here. I'll give you my number and you can give me a call if you want." I let out and grabbed a pen from my bag. Then I wrote my number on his hand. I even put a cute heart to dot the I in my name. I felt so confident talking to him, there was just something about him that made me feel like I could do anything.

Caleb went back to his shift, he turned around to wink at me as he walked away. I started mouthing the words "call me" and gave him a quick smile.

He kept looking at me from his stand, I couldn't help but smile. He was even trying to make me laugh; he was making weird faces, sexy faces, and just straight up funny faces. I was giggling and making faces back at him. At one point, he took off his shirt trying to be sexy. (And believe me. he was) Then he gestured for me to do the same, obviously I wouldn't if I didn't have my bikini under it. After that we were just messing around for a while until I had to leave the pool.

~skipping rest of the day at pool~

It was finally time to leave. "I had so much fun with Caleb today, why on earth would I want to leave?" I asked myself with a sigh. I didn't really have a choice you see, Kara and I had a soccer game later. Caleb waved to me from his chair; while saying goodbye, he showed me the phone number on his hand that I had written earlier.

During the car ride home, I couldn't stop thinking about Caleb. I was checking my phone almost every five minutes. It's just the way that he can make me laugh with the simplest things.

~at home~

When I got home my mom greeted me with a welcoming hug. "Hey sweetie" she said as I came in the door.

I walked to my room with Max jumping at my feet. I bent down to see him at eye level, his cute chocolate brown eyes and scruffy face. I love Max so much, when I'm sick he is my medicine.

I went up the stairs and turned the corner into my bedroom. Dropping my stuff onto the floor when I heard a loud yell from my brother in the room next door. He was just playing xbox, as usual.

I went into the bathroom stripping off my shirt as I walked in seeing a box of tampons on the counter. The box said "your welcome sis😉". He was just mad because I yelled at him yesterday for being loud, so he thought it would be funny to point out my moodiness. I put my clothes into the hamper, checking my phone one last time before I hopped into the shower. There was 3 messages that showed up, I scrolled through them finding that it was just my GBF asking if I could spend the night sometime in the next week or so. It was pretty disappointing not seeing a text from Caleb.

~after my shower~

I responded to Brandon (GBF) saying that we needed to talk immediately because I have some guy news to talk about. Then I was scrolling through Instagram for a couple minutes, when I saw a message pop up on the top of my screen.

"Hey babe it's Caleb😏"

I waited for almost 5 minutes to respond so it didn't seen like I was waiting by the phone for him to text. Finally I responded with something cute and flirty but also casual.

"Heyyyyyyyy😝"

I received a call from his a few minutes later. Answering it was so nerve-wracking.

"What's up" he said, I could hear him smiling through the phone.

"The sky" I said being a smarty and a flirt at the same time.

"Maybe we could have a date up there sometime, but for now how about just at mini golf?" Caleb asked with what seemed to be heart in his hands.

"Uhhhhhhh... sure" I was totally not expecting that.

"Great. I'll pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow night" Caleb said.

"Okay" I said.

"Okay" he said.
