His eyebrows rose slightly at her words before he chuckled softly. “I promise you’re the only tater tot I know. No one else I’ve met is even cute enough for a name like that.” His grin grew at that giggle of hers, finding it to be probably one of the most adorable things he had ever heard in his life. Though she herself did seem pretty adorable as well, not just attractive. It was probably one thing drawing him to her so much, that and the amazing personality he could already tell she had. “Will do, and I’ll make sure to look even more handsome than I do right now.”

Tatum wasn’t used to clicking with people so quickly, especially outside of her line of work, but there was something special about Xavier – she could tell. “Damn. Do that and you might make my heart explode. I can’t really imagine cuter than you currently are,” she said honestly, ignoring the fire that took over her cheeks. “I’m honored to be the only Tater Tot though, and that you think I’m that cute. Just wait ‘til we get to spend some real time together. I may rock your socks off.” The blonde leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper as she hummed into his ear. “Call me.” With a satisfied little smirk, Tatum offered a small wave and set about to let him go along his way. She really hoped he meant it, and that she’d be seeing him soon.

[humvnlifesaver]

"Ooh. I don't think your heart exploding would be a good thing." He joked, chuckling softly after he spoke. Of course he knew she was joking. "Though as cute as I am, there is cuter. You can't deny now that you aren't." His grin would probably grow wider if even possible, but at this point he wasn't sure it could and it may end up getting stuck the way it was. "Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to spend more time with you." His teeth bit down slightly on his lip as she leaned over to whisper into his ear. "Will do." He whispered back, his eyes following to watch her leave. He'd definitely have to make sure to call her later that night, because he'd want to hang out with her the next soonest time possible.

[tatumunleashed]

humvnlifesaver:

The nickname had just popped into his head and honestly he didn’t have a second thought before it slipped from his mouth, so he was glad that she was okay with it. He thought it was pretty cute after all. “Oh really? Well, I’m glad you like it so much. It is an original after all.” He did a little bit of a bow, grinning over at her. Nodding, he stood back up straight, crossing his arms over his chest. “Dinner for sure, maybe even a movie at the theater if you’re up to that. I’d like to say I’m old fashioned sometimes. It is a promise I for sure intend on keeping.” It wasn’t one he wanted to break because he really did want to get to know her better, that and maybe have a chance on a date with her.

Tatum hadn’t really been given a nickname before; unless Tate counted, but so many people used it that she didn’t deem it very original. tater Tot, though, it took the cake. Plus the fact that it came from such a cutie made her enjoy it even more. “I do. You really do know how to work that charm. I better be the only Tater Tot you know,” she giggled, her light eyes meeting his darker ones with a lingering daze. She bit her lip as Xavier went on to explain what his plans for going out entailed, and her heart fluttered because she liked old-fashioned, and not many guys were into that sort of thing that she knew. “O’m definitely up for both. I like your style,” she assured, still keeping her attention solely on him. “I can’t wait then. Just give me a little notice before you pick me up so I can look extra pretty for you?”

[humvnlifesaver]

His eyebrows rose slightly at her words before he chuckled softly. "I promise you're the only tater tot I know. No one else I've met is even cute enough for a name like that."

"Will do, and I'll make sure to look even more handsome than I do right now."

humvnlifesaver:

Oh those eyes of hers were so easy to get lost in and he was starting to wonder if he was going to be able to stay focused much longer. Aside from her beauty though, she seemed so kind and he really couldn’t get past that. Most people now adays, whether male or female, just seemed to be rude and he never really understood it. He was so glad she wasn’t like any of them, and he prayed she wasn’t just one of those people trying to make a good first impression. He sure wasn’t. Chuckling softly as she picked up on the nickname, he shrugged his shoulders. He himself had found it cute too, and it took little thought to come up with it so quickly. It fit her too. “Lifesaver is a great nickname too.” Gosh, she was cute with those dimples. His eyebrows rose as she leaned closer to him, only a smirk appearing. “I’d expect nothing less. Maybe you can do it before that dinner I’m gonna take you too.”

One thing Tatum was, was an honest person. She may not have been the best, but she was helpful and usually kind, even if sometimes more blunt than most people appreciated. She was being her true self with Xavier; if she wanted anything to come of this meeting, it was best not to start off on the wrong foot. Her cheeks were fiery at the nickname, but admittedly, she loved it. No one had called her Tater Tot before, and that he already had one for her spoke volumes. He seemed to enjoy the one she gave him as well. “Thank you. I like the one you can up with better though,” Tatum kept grinning, tucking a stray wisp of blonde behind her ear. “Oh, really? Dinner, huh?” her lips curved into more of a smirk as she batted her long eyelashes at him, before her gaze fell to his full lips. “I look forward to it. You have my number, so just let me know when you intend to keep that promise.”

[humvnlifesaver]

humvnlifesaver:

“Well, I am a pretty unique guy. Some people are just too selfish.” His shoulders rose up as he shrugged, his arms crossing over his chest. He never understood why people always needed to put their lives before others, health and well being maybe, but no life was anymore important than another. Xavier had met many people at the pool, but nothing ever seemed to work out. As much as people would probably blame him for being an absolute flirt, he really didn’t see it as his fault. Usually the girl ended up being a total bitch, or too clingy. He just couldn’t handle some people. He hoped, even if just friends, Tatum didn’t end up being either. His lips quirked up into a grin. “Don’t you worry, lil tater tot, I’ll let you work on my face one day.”

“That’s the truth, but I’m glad to hear you aren’t one of the,” Tatum smiled, her eyes dreamy as they kept focused on him. Somehow he sucked her in so easily – with the attraction, but also the charm, and his caring personality. She could see that he was with his job, and even just minutes of chatting. Relationship weren’t something that she fared well with. Tatum was the type to dance to the beat of a different drum. She didn’t trust too easily. And yet, something was telling her to give him a chance. “Tater Tot?” she giggled at the nickname, her smile sparking across her entire face. “Cute. I like that, Lifesaver.” Her dimples peeked out, and the blonde leaned in a little closer, her long lashes fluttered as she added flirtatiously, “I’m gonna hold  you to that.”

[humvnlifesaver]

Oh those eyes of hers were so easy to get lost in and he was starting to wonder if he was going to be able to stay focused much longer.

humvnlifesaver:

He’d never thought about it like that either, honestly, but she did make a good point. Not that it was necessarily true by any means. “That is a good point. Though I’d risk my life to save anyone. Kind of my job.” He chuckled softly. It was his job, but he was sure even outside of it, he’d risk his own life to save anyone around here, even if he didn’t know them very well, or at all. While the people he worked with were attractive, he was such close friends with all of them, he’d never think of even dating any of them. He had other reasons not to as well. He really did think of himself as a sweet guy and he hated when anyone else would see him as anything but, even if he was a flirt. He raised his eyebrows a bit as she grabbed his chin, grinning. “Hey, even the attractive Hollywood stars have to wear makeup.”

“Well, you’re certainly one of a kind. Not just anyone would do that for people.” Tatum grinned, happy that they had crossed paths. Even if it didn’t amount to anything but a friendship, Xavier seemed sweet – flirtiness and all. Not that she could diss that, as she was just the same. He probably met girls all the time though at the pool, whether co-workers or just guests. A bikini was pretty much an automatic icebreaker. So, she wouldn’t hold her breath for anything serious. Laughing softly as she admired his handsomeness, the blonde let her thumb feather across his jaw before gently letting him go. “They do, but I really don’t think you need it. You’re cute as hell without it. However, if you really want to try, I wouldn’t have any qualms about working with that face.”

[humvnlifesaver]

"Well, I am a pretty unique guy. Some people are just too selfish." His shoulders rose up as he shrugged, his arms crossing over his chest.

“Unattractive lifeguards are very rare to come upon. Though maybe just being a lifeguard makes someone ten times hotter. Who knows?” He smirked a bit to show he was obviously joking. While he was definitely down for talking to attractive girls, he really didn’t care about looks at all. As long as they weren’t a total bitch, he’d give them a chance. Tatum definitely didn’t seem to be anywhere near that though, she seemed really nice. “I promise I’m not one of them. You’ll see.” Honestly, he’d probably be texting her later that night, not only to prove to her he was a good guy, but also because he was finding himself being pulled towards her. He raised his eyebrows at her, maybe dinner would have to be added to his list of things to do too. His lips curled into a grin before he nodded at her words. “Of course. Makeup especially.”

“I like the way you think, sweetheart,” she flirted as she nodded in agreement. “It makes sense when you think about it. Someone willing to risk their life to save yours is definitely sexy. I’d never considered it like that before.” He seemed to be kidding, but Tatum actually was buying it. However, she knew he probably worked with some gorgeous lady lifeguards, and confident as she was, couldn’t compete with that. He did though pull another swooning smile from her at his promise. She really did hope that he meant it, and wasn’t just full of it like most guys she met. “I hope that I do,” she said huskily, fluttering long lashes as she gazed up into his eyes. A lilting laugh sounded from her though at his joke. “Right, especially the make-up.” Gently, she grasped his chin, running her fingers along his cheeks gingerly as it examining him. “But it sure would be a shame to cover up that face.”

[humvnlifesaver]

He'd never thought about it like that either, honestly, but she did make a good point. Not that it was necessarily true by any means. "That is a good point. Though I'd risk my life to save anyone.

humvnlifesaver:

“No, but they may decide when we come in for the interview and they finally see our faces.” He chuckled softly, shaking his head. Honestly, he’d be upset if he were to ever find out any of that was true. Who cares what a lifeguard looked like? Probably shallow people. He raised an eyebrow at her. “Well, I sure hope you get to know me better. I’m sure we’ll meet again sometime after this.” Especially if he answered her phone calls or texts, he’d be sure to have them actually hang out sometime. She seemed really nice. “You’re right. I really don’t get embarrassed too easily. Colby and Avalon. I’ve known Colby since he moved here his senior year. We were in the same grade. And I’ve known Ava for quite some time now. Pretty easy to with this small town, but yet, here we are just meeting.” He raised his brows again before a smirk appaeared on his lips. “You don’t honestly think I wouldn’t take a girl out first do you? I may not seem like it, but I am a gentleman.” He shrugged. “Ah, yes. That makes sense now.”

“That’s a good point. I would hope that’s not something it would be based upon though. I’ve just yet to meet an unattractive lifeguard,” she told him honestly. She could care less, it just seemed quite a coincidence. “I guess it’s possible, if you actually use my number. Most guys are all talk,” she pointed out, batting her lashes at him. “I hope you’re not one of them, because you’re awfully cute.” Tatum had a way of putting up a wall until she got to know people better – she’d flirt, but that was harmless enough. He’d have to go the extra mile if he was truly interested. “Oh, awesome. I know both, of course, though probably Avalon better,” she smiled up at him softly. “It is pretty odd, for sure. Especially since I went to school here too. I guess we just never really crossed paths.” That was practically unheard of in Beacon, but she was glad they had now. His question made the blonde mirror his shrug, but a playful smile tugged at her lips. “I don’t know you well enough to say yet,” she admitted. “But I hope you’re true to your word.” Tatum laughed softly, anxiously tugging at her hair. “Still going to keep me in mind if you need your hair or make-up done?”

[humvnlifesaver]

“I don’t seem like a serial killer?” Etta laughed and shook her head, “I think that’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever said to me,” she grinned, her words said a little overdramatically. She nodded her agreement, she had found places the be accepted, mostly in the music department, her parents certainly helped in that. “Trust me I’d want to see that face again,” she said, although when she realised what she had said she bit down on her tongue. “What I mean is er-” she stopped herself and decided to change the subject so she wouldn’t embarass herself further. Her eyes fell on the screen. “Where’s the nicest place you’ve ever been?”

[humvnlifesaver]

“Well, I have been known to be a pretty nice guy.” He admitted, shrugging his shoulders and holding his hands up as he tried not to grin. Most of the kids around that had rich parents seemed to be snobby brats and he hated having to be put in a group like that, which was why he usually didn’t let people know his last name. His eyebrows rose at her words, as he tried so hard not to smirk. As she went on though, he couldn’t hold it back any longer. Once she had asked the question, he finally spoke. “First of all, thank you. I’m glad my face is so enjoyable.” He chuckled softly then leaned back in the chair, keeping his eyes on her. “Honestly? I think this is the nicest place I’ve been. Beacon may be small, but it is so friendly and so much easier to get around then all the big cities. Though, you may have a different opinion on that.”

[ettce]

“How do I know you’re not a serial killer, huh, fish boy?” Etta pondered teasingly. “I just realised how easy a target I would be. I just followed you into an empty theatre that’ll be dark soon enough,” she laughed. Her eyes landed on the screen, she was quick to overcome her moment of embarassment - she wasn’t one too dwell too much on things like that. “I don’t know. I like everywhere I’ve lived for different reasons,” she admitted.

[humvnlifesaver]

“I guess you just don’t know, and fish boy? Is that cause I’m a lifeguard or do I actually smell like fish?” He raised his eyebrows for a moment, but soon it was just a grin on his lips. “Very easy target indeed. Guess we’ll just have to see at the end of the night whether you’re still alive or not.” His own eyes went to the screen as well, noticing that the ads would be over very shortly. “That makes sense, I didn’t mind any of the places I’ve visited, Beacon is just the best.”

[ettce]

“I’m going to take a chance on you,” Etta said, as if just deciding that much right there and then. She laughed a little too loudly, at least the theatre was empty so there was only Xavier to be bothered by that much. “It’s because you’re a lifeguard. Don’t worry, you smell fine. Maybe a bit like chlorine but who doesn’t like that,” she shrugged. “I like my odds,” she leaned back in her seat. “I hated Beacon when I first moved here. I was used to big cities, places with more action. But I guess the peace has definitely grown on me.”

[humvnlifesaver]

"Ah, I'm honored to hear that. Thank you very much. I'll take one on you as well, cause who knows? Maybe you're wanting to kill me." He shrugged his shoulder as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes focusing on the screen in front of them. The movie was starting, Pretty obvious with the lights dimming so they could see the screen better. "Well, you'd be surprised how many people hate the smell of chlorine, but good thing you don't cause this movie is almost 2 hours long." Even though his eyes were on the screen, he still listened to each word she said. "I could understand that, but I do love the more peaceful town. I'm biased though."

[tatumunleashed]

humvnlifesaver:

“Now that you mention it, you may be right. It may just be a job requirement. Also, thank you, I like to believe confidence is a beautiful trait.” His smile only grew as they talked. He was definitely a flirt, but it was rare to find a girl who flirted back, or didn’t swoon or become completely speechless that a guy was talking to them. Not that he blamed them, he actually had a hard time talking to girls at one point in his life. His grin grew as he saw her eyeroll, knowing she had to figure out it had been a joke. “Zay is one of the names I’m called, but really it’s up to you. Just don’t embarrass me too much.” He chuckled softly, shrugging. “What can I say? I’m just great at guessing names.” He then nodded. “I’ve been there a few times. I know a couple of the actors that work there, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you there yet. I’d remember seeing such a beautiful girl.”

“Do they make you send in a picture with your application? I wouldn’t be surprised. No problem, though. Most of the time it can be, agreed.” Tatum liked being able to make his smile grow, even if it was making her a little weak in the knees. He didn’t need to know that. She used to be a little more shy, but the older she became, the more comfortable she was in her own skin. And, alas, she no longer doubted herself. She saw how people checked her out. “Zay it is. At least for now; maybe if I get to know you better I’ll come up with something else. No promises, though you don’t seem like the type that’s easily embarrassed.” The blonde smirked widely, her bright eyes watching him through long eyelashes. “Have you? And really? Who are they? Since I pretty much know everyone?” he lips strung into a smile instead. “Look at you being all charming again. If you’re trying to get into my pants though buddy, you gotta take me out first,” she teased. “I’m usually backstage, so that’s probably by. I do hair and make-up for the shows. Hence, the card.”

[humvnlifesaver]

"No, but they may decide when we come in for the interview and they finally see our faces." He chuckled softly, shaking his head. Honestly, he'd be upset if he were to ever find out any of that was true. Who cares what a lifeguard looked like? Probably shallow people. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, I sure hope you get to know me better. I'm sure we'll meet again sometime after this." Especially if he answered her phone calls or texts, he'd be sure to have them actually hang out sometime.

"You don't honestly think I wouldn't take a girl out first do you? I may not seem like it, but I am a gentleman." He shrugged. "Ah, yes. That makes sense now."

“It’s always been one of my dreams to break a record as well, though I was never really sure what to do.” He’d tried many different things, but he’d usually come close and then fail terribly in the end. It kind of sucked to get so hyped up that he was close just to lose anyways. “Uh, Actually, yeah. I do get quite a few numbers, but that doesn’t necessarily mean my life is exciting. Some of them don’t even answer their phones.”

“Same here. It’s like you have to do some outlandish things to even be considered. Now I look back on it and wonder if I’d really want to be known for many of them,” he laughed lightly. “I guess not, but it still counts for something, right? So then, you do actually call them as promise? You and I both know most guys don’t follow through with that. I mean, I do – for the record.”

[humvnlifesaver]

"That's so true, and some of them I wonder how people even did. They take so much time to accomplish." He had had a few he tried to do and quit half way through because it was taking an insane amount of time and he wasn't for that. "Of course I call them. Well, I call as many as I can. Like I said, some done pick up and I think some gave me the wrong numbers at times." He let out a sigh, nodding. "But yeah, I know most guys do that, and they're assholes."

“Well, considering most lifeguards are pretty attractive, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Though, I may have to take the title of being the most for myself.” It was a joke, which he made pretty obvious with the smirk on his lips. He wasn’t conceited, or at least not that conceited. Having her number now, he’d definitely be using it later. She didn’t seem to mind his flirting at all, and he loved that she was throwing some of her own back. He laughed a bit, crossing his arms over his chest. “I guess you could call it that.” His grin returned, maybe bigger than last time. “You’re doing a pretty good job at reading me here.” An eyebrow raised at her words, was that a challenge? “Xavier is this hunky lifeguards name, but everyone calls me Zay. And by the name on the business card, I’m guessing yours is Tatum?”

“I think it’s pretty much a job requirement. You sure do have a lot of confidence. I like that.” Tatum got the impression that he was mostly joking, but she also had a feeling he knew exactly how cute he really was. She was hard to impress, but he’d managed to do so right away. His conformation that he was a lady magnet earned a playful eye-roll from the blonde. She’d know from the second they met, and although guys like that could be fun, they were also trouble. Yet, she was still flirting with him. “I knew it. I read people well,” she admitted with a little nonchalant shrug. “It’s nice to meet you – Zay. If that’s what you prefer to be called. And yep, Tatum it is. Good guess,” she teased, flashing him a little wink. “I also work at the theater, if  you ever go by there.”

"Now that you mention it, you may be right. It may just be a job requirement. Also, thank you, I like to believe confidence is a beautiful trait." His smile only grew as they talked. He was definitely a flirt, but it was rare to find a girl who flirted back, or didn't swoon or become completely speechless that a guy was talking to them. Not that he blamed them, he actually had a hard time talking to girls at one point in his life. His grin grew as he saw her eyeroll, knowing she had to figure out it had been a joke. "Zay is one of the names I'm called, but really it's up to you. Just don't embarrass me too much." He chuckled softly, shrugging. "What can I say? I'm just great at guessing names." He then nodded. "I've been there a few times. I know a couple of the actors that work there, but I don't think I've ever seen you there yet. I'd remember seeing such a beautiful girl."

“We definitely should and then maybe our names could go in the book along with the record.” He chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest. Beacon was a pretty small town, with just over a few hundred people if he remembered right, but still, it had always had something for the boy to do as well as it just felt like home. “Will do. You’ll be the first person I make sure to tell. Not really much though. My life isn’t too exciting outside of work.”

“That would be pretty awesome! When I was a kid I always wanted to break one of those things. I did some crazy stunts that just amounted to a few injuries,” he laughed softly. “Thanks, man. Oh c’mon, I doubt that. You gotta get like a ton of numbers just working here, I’d assume?”

"It's always been one of my dreams to break a record as well, though I was never really sure what to do." He'd tried many different things, but he'd usually come close and then fail terribly in the end. It kind of sucked to get so hyped up that he was close just to lose anyways. "Uh, Actually, yeah. I do get quite a few numbers, but that doesn't necessarily mean my life is exciting. Some of them don't even answer their phones."

Xavier gave the blonde a smile as the took the two cards, looking them over a bit before he looked back at her. “I work at the pool down the street. Well, the only pool I guess.” He grinned himself as he heard the giggle, glad she had found his little joke funny. “Oh do I? I hadn’t really noticed, although I have heard a few others tell me the same thing. Good to know even a hair expert thinks so.” He raised his eyebrows at the smirk, his own forming as she spoke. It had been a way to get her number, but he really did want to help her and that was in fact the reason he had taken it. Prank calling though hadn’t crossed his mind. “I’m honored that you think I’m cute, because you’re definitely cute yourself, but offended that you already think I’d stoop so low to prank call you.”

His smile was killer, and it almost had her wavering. “Oh, really? So when I’m in the need for some eye candy I guess I know where to go, don’t I?” Tatum wasn’t opposed to the fact that he had her number now; besides, the real test was to see if he actually used it. “Mhm. I’m not surprised;  you seem like quite the lady magnet.” She didn’t know the guy – not even his name, but he had this swagger about him. “I think you know you’re cute, so me thinking so isn’t anything new.” The blonde grinned proudly though and his feigned offense. “Then I guess you’ll have to prove to me that you’ll only use my digits for good… hunky lifeguard without a name.”

[humvnlifesaver]

"Well, considering most lifeguards are pretty attractive, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Though, I may have to take the title of being the most for myself." It was a joke, which he made pretty obvious with the smirk on his lips. He wasn't conceited, or at least not that conceited. Having her number now, he'd definitely be using it later. She didn't seem to mind his flirting at all, and he loved that she was throwing some of her own back. He laughed a bit, crossing his arms over his chest. "I guess you could call it that." His grin returned, maybe bigger than last time. "You're doing a pretty good job at reading me here." An eyebrow raised at her words, was that a challenge? "Xavier is this hunky lifeguards name, but everyone calls me Zay. And by the name on the business card, I'm guessing yours is Tatum?"
