After getting a divorce Jesse had gone back to lifeguarding the team looked a lot different than what it used to be but he was finding his way back. There was a newer girl there Kenzie she was in her early 20s and had come from America he found her intriguing to say the least. There was just a way she had no problem dishing and taking it from the boys like it was nothing. Jesse was going down a dark path again but she kept him away giving him shit for things most of the guys would be too scared to by the way he looked. She was out swimming one day to build her strength up mkre as the yearly lifeguard race is coming up and she for sure as hell wants to win and beat the boys asses when she got caught in a rip that threw her right against flat rock. Jesse watched in horror by the northern set of flags. She was caught her leg was caught there was no getting it out she couldn't see Jesse or any of the boys and she accepted her fate that this was it till she saw a bright blue board paddling out it was Jesse. He helped get her leg free and got her back to shore they went up into the northern lifeguard tower which was a lot smaller than the big one in the middle of the beach by the promenade. She sat down on the floor with him as he looked over her leg. He was twice her age he was 35 almost 36 and she had just turned 20. She watched him trying to catch her breath. After he looked at her leg and didn't see any damage he sat back with her pulling her to his side she looked up at him her hand going to his bare chest. The air in the room was electric their breaths mingling. It might be adrenaline or the near death experience but she leaned in and kissed him. He didn't pull back he kissed back one arm around her waist as the other went to the back of her head her soaked wet hair tangling in his fingers. They pulled away for air their breaths mingling again. Jesse: I'm sorry that was inappropriate I'm higher up than you
