The school year ended and we started our first summer together. She was a lifeguard at the local swimming pool, and I loved to swim. It really worked out quite nicely. Well, at least most of the time.
There was this guy; his name was Luke, who happened to be a lifeguard there too. He was the typical muscular, talented athlete, with a great smile. He was the kind of guy that every girl wished they could be with. Sarah didn't like him, but she was friends with him. I had no problem with her being friends with the guy, but there was one problem: he tended to be a flirt.
Now, this guy wasn't just any flirt, he was a flirt with my girlfriend. I would go visit Sarah at work, and I would see him standing underneath her guard chair, poking her legs, making jokes and always smiling at her. At first I thought it was harmless, but then I kept hearing stories from other guards.
"Wow, he flirts with her all the time, he is always around her." People told me stories like that constantly. I would always ask Sarah about it, and she told me that they were friends, and nothing more. I would always believe her, and would tell everyone that they must be wrong. But this one day, I walked in when both of them were working. I see him keep poking her in her sides, and brushing up against her. I saw her keep moving away but he kept moving towards her and not leaving her alone. I was about to scream, this guy was trying to steal the thing I loved more than life itself. I wanted to punch him in the face, but I knew that Sarah wouldn't like me to do that, so I decided to walk up to the two and act as if nothing was the matter.
I smiled as I walked up, "Hey Babe, how are you doing?"
"So this is your boyfriend?" He stepped in between us with his arms crossed, "I gotta say you're definitely the better looking half of the couple Sarah." Luke ended his failed attempt at a witty comment with a rather rude look in my direction. I kept my cool, barely, and smiled through gritted teeth saying,
"Well, I like to think so, Luke. So, Sarah, how soon till you get off work?"
"I'm done in about an hour, I have to go up in the chair one more time, and then work the concession stand."
"Well I might have to go buy some candy while you're working there." I smiled at her and she smiled back. Our eyes locked momentarily before I hear the idiot chime in saying,
"I bet there isn't anything sweeter than you in that concession stand." Sarah smiled as politely as she could and simply said,
"Thanks."
I couldn't believe this. He was flirting with her right in front of me. I kept my eyes on Sarah to keep me from leveling this kid to the ground.
"Well, I'll come back in an hour and maybe we can go grab something to eat, or, if you need a ride home, I can give you one."
"Ok, I will talk to you later."
"Love ya."
"I love you too."
"Aww, listen to the little guy telling his wifey he loves her."
I had had it. I walked away and drove off and didn't stop again until the hour had passed. Where does he get off mocking my love for Sarah? What kind of jerk would flirt with another guy's girlfriend right in front of him? I looked down at the clock and started back towards the pool. The drive really didn't do too much good; I was still fuming when I picked Sarah up at work.
"Hey babe, are you ready yet?" She looked at me, and read my eyes. She knew something was wrong.
"Yea, let me grab my towel from the chair, and I'll meet you at the car."
"I'll wait right here if you don't mind." She gave me another funny look,
"Ok, I'll hurry then." She walked off towards the guard chair. I had been waiting for Luke to show up, but he hadn't yet. I was starting to feel a smile work back onto my face. I even let myself look up towards the sky, and actually enjoy the sunshine.
*Snap*
My attention is brought back down to earth just in time to see him holding a towel in his hand, laughing, while Sarah was holding her leg in pain while trying to hold back tears.
He hurt my girl.
I don't remember knocking over the two little kids on my sprint towards him, and I don't remember Sarah yelling at me to stop. I found out those things afterwards. I do remember the crunch I heard as my shoulders broke his ribs with my perfect football form tackle. I remember us both flying into the pool. I also remember, my right fist hitting him square on the nose, and the pool being closed down for 3 hours trying to get all the blood out of the water. I also remember the argument that followed, and I remember how it almost ended the best thing to ever happen to me.
