[THE ALMOST TRUE TALES OF A LIFE GUARD; BRILLIANT PROMOTER, HE CONVINCED HUSBANDS TO PAY HIM TO ALSO BE A 'WIFE GUARD'; THE WIFE GUARD ENDED UP PLANTING SEEDS IN A LARGE FIELD, RAISING NEW LIFE.]
*
What was that old rock 'n roll song: Indiana Wants Me (Lord I can't go back there!). Well, Ellis-by-the-sea (hereafter Ellis) and its husbands want me, badly, and I can't go back there. If I was to return, they might resurrect tar 'n feathers, just for me, Tucker.
Let me explain. One summer, I had graduated high school and was waiting for my first college year to start. I had those three lovely months we call summer to work. Since I was profoundly lazy, was in great shape (18, high school wrestling and weightlifting champ), and wasn't adverse to meeting women, I leapt at the chance to be a life guard. The fact that I had to commute 50 miles each way was no problem. I had a Honda Fit that got me 40 mpg. Also, I knew enough about the world to know that if you score with a lot of babes, you might not want to be living around there, irate boyfriends and husbands being what they are.
So, I took the job and went to ten days (2 work weeks) of underpaid safety training. In three weeks, then, I was up there, on the big white wooden guard lookout post. You know, the most admired (women) or hated (men) dude on the beach. It only took me two days to get the obligatory uniform (i.e. tan) and then I was solid.
My luck? It took exactly two hours at work before the first 'guest' was calling. This teeny bopper was at the base of the tower and, to the amusement of her girlfriends, she climbed up the ladder. I was in full SPF mode, covered in white goo, wondering what they saw in me. Anyway, the girl came up, wearing a pink bikini. As she talked, I could tell from her jewelry (plastic charms, not silver or gold) and tattoo (temporary, fruit dye) that she wasn't a member of the AARP. I just had to ask the dreaded: "And how old are you, sweetheart?" before she beat a hasty retreat. Hopefully, she would spread the word around that the Elmo and Hannah Montana set should stay off the guard tower.
My first incident, damn it, was a legitimate rescue. This older couple were way out in the surf for God knows what reason. I guess they didn't figure that occasional 'rogue waves' might come and ruin their day. Sure enough, I could see the white cap way out. I grabbed my board and headed out way before it arrived. When I got there, the man grumbled in some Euro language (Romanian) that they were fine (I think). I just smiled, seeing the white cap two waves away. As he glared at me, that wave over came them, making him gasp and his stolid wife take in some saltwater. I put her on the board, gestured for him to follow, and headed in. By the time we got to shore, the elder lady had aspirated all the water, in or out, and would be fine. The old man patted me on the back as they gathered themselves and walked to their car. I actually got an impromptu ovation from the twenty or so who had gathered to watch this 'drama' unfold. Well, I had won their hearts; knocking them dead in Ellis-by-the-sea.
Every morning I would get up, pound some weights (to keep in shape; it wasn't very taxing just sitting in the guard tower), and have breakfast. My divorced mom would always prepare it, which was odd. She never even got up to see me off when I was in school. Now that I grabbed a sausage biscuit in the AM wearing only a good tan and shorts, looking really buff, kind of pumped, my divorced mom felt compelled to make my breakfast. Well, I didn't dwell on it, or her goodbye kiss either. It didn't occur to me that moms don't kiss their grown sons goodbye in the morning. Kind of creepy, her kisses got more protracted as the summer wore on and I got even tanner and more buff. It was all innocent, though. Really.
Carmen. A heck of a woman, and my first 'conquest' at the beach. Carmen was a Latina, about 22, five foot three, 110, perhaps 34-25-36. Those measurements (my guess of course) were all you could hope for in the real world, the proverbial 36-22-36 only existing in Hollywood or Playboy. Anyway, a friend of mine asked me the body count (how many babes had I bagged this week?). When I said zero, he asked me how often I walked the beach. I said never. He set me straight and soon, I would take an hourly tour. Well, things did change and fast.
Carmen was having an argument with her boyfriend. I'm no cop, but the general idea of peace and tranquility IS our responsibility, so when he slapped her, I stepped in. Grabbing his wrist, I told him to get off the beach or face a little jail time. You never saw anyone leave faster. A grateful Carmen hugged me, caressing my bulging biceps, saying that she was so happy a 'good beach bully' came along to take care of the bad one. I patted that sexy Latina on the head and turned to leave. She didn't want this to end, so she said that her boyfriend had left her there with no way home, could I take her when I got off. Well, to be stone cold and shallow about it, I turned and scoped her out. She was fucking hot, man, with a skimpy bikini, Latina tan, fantastic legs, and some interesting tattoos. I couldn't resist that. I said cool, and it was a date.
The same friend of mine who (brilliantly) recommended the beach tours also told me about this overlook in the hills that was a great place to park. I took Carmen there, so I could take Carmen there. As soon as I had parked, she was caressing my broad shoulders and powerful arms, thanking me for saving her today. Well, I knew an opening when I saw one, and soon I had her power seat reclined. I thanked heavens that I still had an American car that had a column automatic shifter. I have to confess I didn't ask her about her marital situation or her birth control methods. I should have. But, sometimes the little soldier with the helmet down there controls the conversation. Before I knew it, I had entered that hot little Latina, my ten inch soldier moving forward, deep into the mineshaft. She gasped when I had entered her fully, gasped when I withdrew it, and so on. We did this for ten minutes before she closed her eyes and shrieked in pleasure. I took that as a clue and grabbed her soft behind, clamping down firmly, as I pumped a copious amount of my potent seed deep deep inside her unprotected and quite fertile vagina. I couldn't know it at the time, but she soon would be pregnancy number one.
I continued to be irresponsible and entertain strictly bareback. The next day, it was incredibly uneventful. Okay, there was the inflow of jellyfish that took 2 hours for the tide to take them back deeper into the ocean. However, they weren't box jellyfish (the Aussie kind and the deadliest animal on earth) or even the irritating (literally) Portuguese man of war. No, these were relatively harmless. For the two people that got stung, I had a basic solvent that you could use to completely neutralize the stinger.
What happened that day was quite remarkable and a total fluke. The two people stung were a handsome couple, quite well known in Ellis. The woman was quite a fox, her name Eunice. Her husband was Eric and he was delighted that I was so quick to fix their (stinger) problem. He also was delighted that I had not made a 'move' on his wife, who was incredibly sexy. Well, I had not, but that was only because he was standing within 5 feet of me. Ah, but here it happened:
Eric: "I just am glad that you are not like the lifeguard we had here, last year. He spent 100% of the time 'scoping out' the babes, not doing his job. I think we can count on you, though."
I don't know why I did it, but in a lispy voice that gave him the impression that I was 'differently oriented', I said: "Oh, you don't have to worry about ME...women don't interest me at all. I'm afraid I have a different lifestyle if you catch my drift."
