Jethro- Riptide
Your POV
I was down at Bondi, there is just something about it, it's like all my worries just disappear. I never go for a swim, I'm not a strong swimmer what so ever, but I do go in the ocean. I'll go in to waist depth. That's how I've done it for as long as I can remember. I've never had to have been rescued, because I stick to how I know I'm safe.

Today was like every other day, go to the beach, tan for a bit and go waist depth. I thought it was like every other day, I always go in between the flags, I might not be swimming but better safe than sorry. Today though, it turns out it wasn't safe.

Just my luck that when I go in the water a flash rip appears and starts pulling me out to sea. I put my hand up hoping to get the attention of a nearby swimmer or even better a lifeguard. I saw a man throw a blue board in the water and start paddling to me. "Hey, I'm Jethro. Hold on and when you catch your breath, then I'll bring you back in." I held the board for a short period of time. "Ok, now climb on, on your stomach facing the beach." He said and I did so.

I don't know if it's the way his luscious blond hair flows in wind or the fact that he just saved me but I thought he looked quite cute.

After he dropped me off on land, I introduced myself and thanked him. Then I decided to go home and come back the next day to thank him, mainly because it was 7 and they were packing up.

I decided to buy him a crate of beer and a box of chocolates. I went and knocked on the tower door. A brown haired man answered the door. "G'day, I'm Hoppo can I help you?" He asked.

"Hi, I'm Y/N. I'm looking for Jethro, he saved me yesterday and I would like to thank him. The rip appeared out of nowhere and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here right now." I days hoping Jethro would remember me.

"Oh yes, he hasn't stopped talking about you, you come here everyday don't you? Always doing the same thing. He used to talk about you before but now you're all he talks about." Hoppo laughed. "Anyway, if you would just like to come in, I'll radio him up now." I thanked Hoppo and went inside.

Soon after Jethro arrived. "Hi Y/N." He said hugging me.

"Hi Jethro." I said hugging him back.

"So, ummm, I was wondering if maybe you would like to go too a cafe with me, my lunch break is in 10 minutes. Will you?" He asked really awkwardly.

"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked.

"Yes, I think I am." He said proudly.

"Well then, yes, I will go on a date with you." I said.

"He did it boys!" Hoppo said through the radio. There was a variety of 'go Jeth!' 'Pay up boys he didn't chicken out.' And 'good going Jeth, I've just lost 5 bucks.' "Everyone was betting on Jethro asking you out. Several thought he wasn't going to do it and get really embarrassed, only a few had hope in him." Hoppo explained.

"Everyone likes to bet on each other, I'll explain on our date!" He said the ending really happily.

That was the beginning of our relationship, 5 years later and we are still going strong. I learnt how to swim and Jeth is trying to teach me how to surf. I'm my eyes a surfboard is a death trap, but in Jeth's it's just like a riding a bike, extremely fun.
