parent. Angel moved around the seats and
watched her friend, grinning as the grou p of yummy
mummies all craned to get a close look at the handsome young life guard; she
was close enough to hear him and also to hear the comments from the watching
mothers.
“What’s wrong sweetie? He asked the little girl who promptly buried her
face in her mother’s chest.
“She’s afraid of the water but she really should learn to swim, we are
going on holiday and I can’t leave her in the day club if she can’t swim . ”
“Ok, how about if I get in the pool with you?” he addressed the child
again . “It’s my job to
look after people in the water, I won’t let anything happen to you . ”
The little girl turned to look at him, still sniffing and clearly scared .
“I used to be afraid of going in the water , ” he told her gently . “But I’m ok now that I can swim , ” he smiled , “I’ll look after you . ”
The little girl nodded and whispered “Ok . ”
“Cool, just stay here for a sec, I’ll go and get my swim shorts on then
we can give this swimming thing a go , ” he left only to return a few moments later wearing just a pair of black
knee l ength swimming shorts . H e stepped into the shower before coming back to the girl and crouching
again.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
“Liana . ” came the timid
reply.
“That’s a pretty name, I’m Gavin, hold my hand Liana . ”
“You won’t let go?” Liana asked as she slid her
small hand into his and let go of her mother.
“I promise , ” he told her
coming to his feet, he addressed the girls’ mother . “If you stay here and keep her towel
handy it will give her a little more confidence ,” he turned toward the pool, stepped i n and went down on his knees, he reached up to Liana and
lifted her into the pool where he stayed for the next thirty minutes.
Angel had caught her breath when Gavin emerged from the changing room.
She’d noticed his broad shoulders and his pecs were obviou s even under the baggy t-shirts he wore to college, Kiera
had hinted at the sculptured body beneath his clothes but she hadn’t expected
to be knocked breathless by his naked torso, she felt herself flush as he
stepped into the shower , thinking , h oly shit h e’s pretty… oh, and now he’s wet and even prettier .
The yummy mummies had also drawn a collective breath at the sight of him,
Angel couldn’t help but hear the comments of , “ b loody hell, would you look at that” and “Why couldn’t Olivia be afraid of
the water ? ” B efore deciding enough was enough and she
really should go home before he noticed her gawping.
As the lesson ended, Gavin reached for Liana’s towel and after wrapping
her in it, lifted her out of the pool and into the arms of her mother . S tepping out of the pool, he went to talk once
more to the girl.
“That wasn’t so bad was it?” H e asked.
“No , ” Liana shook
her head.
“What happens next week?” Liana’s mother asked.
“I’ll be here , ” he told her
“I’m quite happy to get in the pool with her for as long as she needs me . ”
“That’s very nice, thank you”
“No problem, see you next week Liana , ” he waved at the child as he walked away.
Arriving home, he called a hello to his father and step mother who were
pottering in the garden , before going
into the large kitchen. By the time Paul had walked
up the garden after slapping his wife loudly on the bottom, Gavin was raiding
the fridge, placing items for a stir fry on the worktop with one hand while
plucking grapes from the large bunch on the fridge’s top shelf and loading them into his mouth with the other,
“It seems that all I see of you lately son is your back side as your face
is always grazing in the fridge . ” Paul greeted
his son .
“I’m not grazing , ” Gavin
protested but remained pretty much in the fridge . “I’m starving and planning on making us
all a stir fry , seeing as you
appear to be unable to leave
