Lifeguards Last Ride(SSC) Finale. (parts 1-8)
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2022 11:12 am
2 o' clock on my last day at the park.. the feeling is bittersweet, in one sense, I'm sad, and going to miss my many days here, and the friends I'd acquired working, and with the guests who frequented the park, a sudden realization I may never see some of these people again..on the other hand, I feel a weight coming off my shoulders, I've finally reached a status in which I don't require a summer job, I never really needed one, as Daddy makes more than enough money to give me an allowance, after all he has paid every dime of living and other expenses that my swim scholarship didn't pay for..for 3 years now..and all my other bills.
Yet he insisted I get a summer job at 16, like the less privileged kids, and he maintained this mindset throughout college as well. Insisting that I was "lucky" to have what I have, and that other students work after class, and day and night throughout the summer to pay for their tuition, and so the "least" I could do, was be a lifeguard, "especially seeing how you're such a fantastic swimmer and all!"
I loved and appreciated him, but loathed his attitude towards me, handing me the world while guilt tripping me for it, and "Oh the other kids this", "oh the other kids that" I've heard it my entire life. I know I am bit privileged, my family being upper middle classish, and my last name helping me with teachers, making friends with other students, maintaining a place in the popular crowd, and even get out of tickets once or twice..
I mean did he not realize that not only is the original "American dream" of paying for college and pursuing a prideful career, with a livable wage, on your day job's pay, dead as the youths hope of a better future, but even the people working 2+ jobs and going to school to make tuition, have given up on that nonsense, does he really think at my Ivy League school there's a bunch of people "coming up out the mud?" Or any college for that matter? The only people that's left is rich parent's kids, gifted scholars and athletes; and poor people who've made a terrible financial decision..ugh rant over but the point is..
I'm freakin done! No more summer jobs! No more "but the other kids.." I've worked hard and so did my team, and last year we went to conferences, made it decently far into nationals, and lost, not to any fault of mine, I kicked ass, nailed all my times, and placed podium in every race I was in, but..I'm one of our star swimmers and some of our bottom pickings cost us points, costing us placement, and ultimately eliminating us to a team that was more well rounded..
So this year, since I had several Olympic scouts with their eyes on me in my junior year, I had to nail it in my senior year, this was my last chance to shine, to continue up the ladder and maybe compete for my country rather than any old school..I had dreams to say the least, and Daddy has always seen my potential, so he made an agreement with me..I would only have to work half of the summer and train the rest! Pretty bogus deal if you ask me but again he does alot for me, taking care of basically my every bill and need, the lifeguard money was honestly laughable, but the hours were chill and I got to remain around what I loved and had carried me furthest in life..
That chlorinated pool smell was home, and there were alot worse jobs he could force me to be doing. It also always left me with a killer tan, and the sun bleached my bright blonde hair, nearly white every summer. Not that I needed it, my body was always summer ready with the workouts and constant training/dieting I underwent for my passion. There was next to zero body fat on my body, my legs were fit, my tummy flat and toned, my boobs were biggish, perky, weighed me down a bit but I'm a fast swimmer, my only guilty pleasure was..well my butt, every other muscle in my body I've sculpted and stayed routine in keeping fit, but also lean, slim, toned without muscle gain to the point of weighing me down, it was more of a difficult balance than you'd imagine, sure getting fit takes dedication but not getting too fit being skinny but not too skinny toned but not too toned.. you get the gist, it was a lifestyle..my butt I didn't treat the same and my trainers HATED me for it, they insisted I could shed my swimtimes atleast marginally, butt..instead I LOVED having a big, prominent, ass, the kind every guy in the room looks at, and their wives too..they just can't help themselves..and not only am I proud of this asset, I kinda get off on it..I mean all the higher class women look good, have pretty hair; their makeup is nice, perfect white smile..you gotta know how to stand out in a league like that, and I mean my looks carried me a long way, but this booty..I worked for this booty, and this booty has gotten me places is all I got to say..
Anywho..enough about my butt..what was I on about? the sun in my hair and tan just helped me nail the Baywatch look. Our outfits had been mostly the same every year, spandex sports bra, red, with the word "LIFEGUARD" in white font in the front, when I started the bottoms were somewhat conservative, boyshorts with the same word as the chest, emblazoned on the rear, same color scheme, red bottoms with bold bright white lettering. I never understood why the boyshorts were necessary if my job title was going to be big and bold, on my already big and bold butt.
I petitioned my fellow girl lifeguards my first year, that the tanline the boyshorts were giving us was lame, and that the logic behind said boyshorts was misogynistic and also bogus. They agreed, mostly wanting to lose the white shorts line they were permanently gifted with on their bare bodies, unless otherwise tanning elsewhere, and even then you'd basically have to be naked to even out, as if you tanned in a standard bikini bottom, the shorts lined would ALWAYS be darker from the long days in the sun, we won our arguments, and the guys obviously didn't argue at the ladies wanting to show more skin, so the following years since, including this year, we've been given more attractive bottoms.
I love the way they fit me, they aren't necessarily provocative, especially in the current landscape, the many girls I see visiting the park on a day to day show far more, but..they are generous to the cheek, my ass fills them and spills out the bottom, as does any lifegal with the slightest hints of a butt, but mine especially, I'm always picking a wedgie, and the spandex likes to bury itself in my cheeks, but as I said before..I don't quiet mind the attention that brings me. The LIFEGUARD along the fabric covering our buttcheeks remained, albeit slightly smaller to fit on the smaller bikini..
so now you know everything about me, what I look like, what I was wearing, how I got the position and place I was in, and why for me especially, being higher class and sought after..today was about to be a really bad day..it was my last freakin day dude!
2 o' clock on my last day at the park..lunch break, every one exits the water, there's a stand down for 30 minutes, the ones who were in the sun working, are brought in to concessions and front desk, the ones at concessions and front desk, go out in the field to their positions so that the break can conclude, each group gets a 20 minute time frame off, and the positions front of house and in the field are maintained with minimal workers. It was on this break that I was approached by my boss, while throwing away my fruit cups, she lightly tapped me on the shoulder, friendly but I knew what that tap lead to, if she wanted my attention for any other reason, other than to ask a favor, she would had just said so..
Jennifer was my boss, and we were pretty tight, she was actually my high school swim coach, I owed her alot, not just for putting me on the swim team and giving me this job, but for encouraging me and being supportive in my journey. I give myself alot of credit where it's due, but that lady deserves it just as much if not more than me, without her I would of never believed in myself, gotten a scholarship, pushed myself to the body of my dreams..so it's not really fair when Jen asks me a favor, it's different than the rest of my coworkers, we were close, she knew she could count on me..and I hated it. She had pulled this same manuever time after time and I always got lumped into working the private party after hours, everytime someone called out, no one else speaks up and there's that little tap, randomly to burst my bubble of being free of this place.
The money was good, it paid time and a half, but I didn't need money, and time and a half as a lifeguard was still..pennies. Atleast in my "spoiled" eyes. Where the money was actually good, was for the Waterpark, a private party, 2-3 hours maximum, paid 2-3 days worth of our standard daily earnings, maybe more depending on the size of the party attending..Renting the entire Waterpark wasn't cheap, but many people in our community had the dough, and so we were frequently asked or required to stay after hours for these parties. I despised these parties, most of them were chill, but you get a bunch of people together that think they rented the place, so they can do as they please, and I'm forced to be the enforcer of grown adults. The same rules I must yell at school children, I'm forced to yell at whoever attends the party. If they hurt themselves doing things that are against our safety policy apparently I can be held accountable if at minimum, I don't make attempts to stop them, and warn them of the dangers.
In all my years, during regular hours I've rarely had to enforce some of the things that happen during these parties, people roughhouse, run on wet cement, and attempt to break the safety procedures on slides. I've seen more injuries and had to tend to more guests at these parties than any standard day. People fall on the cement? my job for first aid. Accidentally knock their friend out? Force me to rescue and resuscitate. One guy broke a leg going down one of the slides that's clearly meant for tube riding, just stupid stuff. I even got fucking Wendy Peppercorned once!
So when Jen asks..
"so..I know it's your last day with us..but nobody else can fill the role tonight for the birthday party, Kenzie has to pick up her sister from choir..
(I shoot my friend Kenzie a glare over Jen's shoulder, she winks back in return)
"..and Mark has baseball practice..there's not really any veterans around I can depend on..I mean it can't be 4 rookies in one shift.."
She wants me to work the party with three new guards? Was she crazy? The party is gonna walk all over them and do what they please, no backbone in any of the noobs, used to children bending to their commands, there's no shot they manage to enforce any rules down there, and being I'm the most seasoned, I'll be stuck on the slide tower all freakin night, being as it's the most dangerous thing in the park..
"..I really need someone on the tower I can trust.."
There it is, hook line and sinker, I'm boned, no way out of this, I can't say no to Jen..
I begrudgingly interrupt her decisive-favor attack, with a fake smile and a hand on her shoulder.
"Of course I got you Jen..I mean it is my last day, what's one last party gonna hurt?" I say with force, seeing my fellow guards and friends snicker at their tables behind Jennifer.
"Oh good! I knew I could count on you, you sure it's no bother?" She asks, her eyes bright, the question basically rhetorical as she knew she'd got me.
Another fake smile.
"No bother at all!" I say through my teeth.
Jennifer leaves, seemingly happy with the result of our conversation..I sit with my friends to finish my meal on my last day..
. . . . .
The end of the normal workday has came. My last one.
"We sure are gonna miss you girl!"
"Promise you'll come to visit?"
"When you're in the Olympics don't forget about us! You know this place ain't paying!"
I hug all my friends goodbye, making false promises of visits and splitting my winnings, and the group of people I've worked years with now is gone.
I'm left with me, a younger girl guard, 17 maybe, and 2 dudes, I was out of both of their league. They all were looking at me as everyone left, like they needed commands..ugh this was gonna be a long night.
"Who all has worked a party here?"
The girl raises her hand, the guys do not.
"..okay..and how many have you worked?" I ask her.
"Um..one.." she says, she's kinda cute, brunette, shorter, tiny butt compared to me, I've hardly spoke with her since she started here, and to be honest her persona annoys me, she doesn't necessarily command my respect, none of them do really.
"..okay.." I start.
"But like I know all the stuff! Party goers break way more rules and all the warnings, and I uh..know the positions we are all supposed to be in! And the hand signals for bottom of the tower, they had Kenzie at the top so that's the only one I don't really know.." she interrupts me.
"Okay then do you care to educate the boys on the positions, if you're going to be my signaler?" I said, curious if she actually knew what she was talking about, and truthfully not wanting to explain it myself.
"Okay so, one of you will be at the common pool, lots of people congregate their at these parties and it's your job to make sure not only do they not drown, but they don't break any of the park's rules, if they hurt themselves while breaking park rules without an acknowledgement and attempt of prevention from you, you and the park can be sued if they're injured..sound about right Kayla?" She turns to me, the comment less so seeming to want my approval, and more so, coming off as a know-it-all.
"Indeed. Go on, explain the other positions, even mine and yours in case there is any swaps needed." I say.
"The other will be on lazy river duty, but instead of handing out rafts like you do during day shift, they get their own, and it's your job to pace the lazy river and ensure everyone is safe, and once again following all rules.."
"My job is to stay at the bottom of the slides, signal whenever the guest has safely made it down the slide, and out of the kicking zone, for the next guest to go down the slide, similar to normal daily duties, the only difference being that the ropes that usually separate the slides exit, from the lazy river, will be pulled back and guest will be free to coast from the end of the slide, and into the river without having to exit and go to the correct entrance.."
"Kayla's job is to sit on top of the tower and look pretty.." she giggled
I rolled my eyes, used to such comments.
"She makes sure everyone follows proper procedure going down the slide. Proper height restrictions, persons limits, etc."
She finished.
This really felt like something Jennifer should be teaching the rookies, she had pawned it off on me, and I had pawned it off on Know-it-all Nancy, or should I call her No Booty Judy? I don't even know any of these younger, less experienced, guards names, and I'm done after today so I don't care to.
"That about covers it. I'm going to the tower, you guys go to your positions, the party is in 30 minutes and from my experience that means guests start arriving right about.."
"Hey we are here for the birthday party!" Someone calls over my shoulder, we had been having the prep talk at the front desk.
"Yes mam, we were just headed to our positions, let us know if you have any questions, and please insure you let all guests know they must follow our safety policies.." I say, almost automatic, used to the mom showing up early for the party.
"Yeah they aren't my guests lady I'm just here for the party, tell em yourself.." the chick says, I hadn't bothered to even check her appearance before speaking, she was clearly younger than me and I was foolish for assuming she was the host but her comments were rude nevertheless.
And so it began, the very first person I spoke to was rude, I left the others to tend to everything else and headed up my tower to start my dreaded final night working at the Waterpark..
Really everything was going pretty smooth at first, people start0ed to show up and come into the park, we stayed in our positions allowing them to get comfortable and feel as if they have the run of the place.(they don't)
The party was kinda small..usually anyone who rents the entire park has a decent crowd of friends or invites a crowd of fake friends, but from what I could tell after a half hour or so, this was going to be their turnout, the ages all seemed mostly end of high school, early collegish at first judging from afar, and later seeing the guests go down my slides, I had 1 enclosed/dark body slide, and 1 raft slide to attend to. They all seemed..mostly plain, bland, not the most attractive guys or girls, mostly girls, and the occasional older, what I assume to be family member of the birthday person. I drew a conclusion these people were nerds, or atleast way further down the social spectrum than I've ever been, the party was easy..boring even, everyone was following the rules, courteous and I was happy and content that my last day and last party was going smoothly.
I watched the other guards from my position, the new guys seemed to be managing well, pacing their positions a bit excessively, I suppose taking the sueing threat seriously. The other girl guard did a good job as signaler when someone went down the slide, but few were bothering to, and she chatted with the guests that passed her position as they went around the lazy river. After awhile of this I came to the conclusion she knew the group, and they were her friends, her getting paid to hangout with her friends was slightly annoying..but I couldn't really bitch at her if no one was going down the slides in the first place, I grew bored and impatient for my final day to finally end..when a group began trotting up my stairs, some of them carrying the donut rafts needed to go down the raft slide.
I heard their chatter draw closer and stood tall on my podium,(more of a stool than anything, so I can see my signaler) my round ass nearly face level, I popped my leg a few times as if I was stretching it out from standing, just as I heard the group reach the top of the stairs, the result was my cheeks jiggling into their resting place in front of their eyes. I had heard a couple guy voices, and decided to tease them with my assets, just a little wiggle, enough to plead innocence, but also enough to make them gawk and draw attention to my job title plastered to my bottoms.
I turned my neck around to gaze at the newest guests who trekked up my stairs. It was a group of 3 girls, and 2 guys. I was met with 2 hateful glares, 1 envious stare, and 2 perverted, locked eyes, mouth open stares from the dudes. 3 of them were holding a donut raft, and 2 looked prepared to go down the body slide. The guys were skinny, dorky, kinda ugly. The glaring girls, and were both chubby, out of shape, maybe not overweight, the third girl looking at me enviously, was heavy set, bigger girl, her body stuffed into a one piece that didn't want it in there.
Both of the glaring girls, stepped on the gawking boys toes hard, as I gazed over my shoulder at them, a perfect 10, scantily clad with a big butt, they couldn't help themselves and how could these girls blame them? I pretended not to notice. One of the girls huffed a bit bumping what I assume was her man angrily and strode past me, plopping her ass down and sending herself down the slide, without my ok.
Without hesitation I turned to her friends.
"When you get to the bottom, you need to tell her she's not to go down this slide without my clear okay first."
I say; on a bit of a power trip I'll admit, but their dirty, envious looks had rubbed me the wrong way, it wasn't my fault they didn't care about their body as much as I did, I wasn't gifted this, I had earned this, and earned the right to flaunt it.
"What do I look like her keeper? You need to lay off lady, this is a birthday party, we aren't little kids for you to boss around." The other glaring chubby girl snapped at me.
She plopped her own intertube down and gestured for her boyfriend to sit in it.
"You aren't planning to attempt to ride this ride together are you?" I say confidently.
"Why yes, yes I am, now we paid our money, why don't you leave us be, your job is to stand around, look trampy, and babysit children, NOT to control how we enjoy this park during OUR party!" Says what I'm gonna call Karen #1, for simplicity sake at this point.
I've been in this position before, and part of me, wanted to just let it go, let them do as they please, it's my last day after all, but the other part of me, refused to buckle, or submit my authority to these chubby bitches. From previous experience, words weren't enough to regain control of the situation from a Karen, claiming they can do as they please because it's a private party, so I pulled a move I'd used before..
Without hesitation and with force, I blew my whistle loudly in the girls direction and commanded:
"It is against safety policy to allow more than 1 rider per tube! Which means you will NOT be going down this slide with your man or I will have you escorted from the property..
Karen number 1 attempts to interrupt me, Karen number 2 can be seen below in the water; looking up wondering what the hold up was with her friends; the heavy set girl who seemed sweet and just envious, not evily glaring at my bum earlier..sits quietly seeming to grow upset.
"Now listen here.." Karen 1 begins, her man still sitting in the tube at the slide entrance, and her standing, and pointing a finger at me.
I smile and blow my whistle for a longer duration, cutting off the Karen and asserting dominance over the situation.
"Do you not understand there's weight limits so people don't fall off and get really hurt? Do you not understand you're 2/3 that weight limit and your scrawny boyfriend is the rest?.." She seemed taken aback, I continued
"Now you only have 1 tube and 4 of you left up here, so some of you are going to have to go down the body slide. If that's a problem, and you wish to go down the tube slide, then you can go down the stairs, retrieve more tubes, and return.."
the glares I was getting, made this last power trip almost seem worth working the party.
I don't know what brought it upon me next, maybe the burning glare from the Karen in front of me, or the concerned look of her cowardly boyfriend still seated, awaiting my permission to go down the slide, minus his girlfriend, and gawking at me past his girl whenever he could. I always notice gawking men, and the simps with ladies like these, don't hide it well in the presence of a lady like myself. The heavier girl was standing behind, originally awaiting her turn with the other guy remaining on my tower waiting next to her, I assumed he was here for the body slide, they both were mostly silent during this exchange, but she was visibly growing upset, in a totally different way than the Karen in front of me, instead her lip was beginning to quiver and she seemed flustered, the guy next to her seemed unsure of himself or what to do. Being the bitch that I am I decided this would be a perfect time to drop a bomb on the entire group and really drive the nail home that I mean business and this is MY park, atleast for this last day..It was SOOO unnecessary..what I said next is what really got me into trouble..
"Not only are two of you going to have to take the body slide, or go get tubes, but uhm.." I looked the heavy set girl in the eyes.
"..uh I'm sorry sweety but you will not be allowed to ride either of these slides, there is a clear and posted weight limit, and I suspect you to be over it, now I don't have a scale up here, they've insisted that's too intrusive and would hurt people's feelings..but uh..yeah.. it's kinda a judgement call on my part without the scale and I don't believe it'd be safe for you to travel down this ride today, feel free to watch your friends from here, or head down to meet them at the bottom.." I don't know why I went after the heaviest girl, she hadn't really bothered me thus far, but she was with the group attempting to belittle and challenge my authority..truthfully I had a bit of a valid concern..this girl was easily pushing 275-300, tall, big girl, total softy at heart I can tell, and our policy called for 325+ guests to not be allowed down the slides. She was probably definitely in the safe zone, but she was pushing it, I was feeling on my high horse, like head bitch on my last day, and her friends had challenged me, she ended up in the line of fire and that wasn't my problem..or so I thought.
I expected them to maybe be upset, but I hadn't expected the heavy set girl to began bawling her eyes out and running down the stairs, the guy following her, attempting to console her, and calling back to me how I'm a "stupid fucking bitch" as he dissappeared after the fat girl, no sooner than I could witness this and Karen 1 SLAPS me in the face and says "you most definitely fucked up now." She then proceeds to plop down on her boyfriends lap, and scoot herself down the slide, in the most aggressive way someone could manage the awkward maneuver. They were off down the slide, and I was fuming at the Karen assaulting me, and disregarding anything I said as well!
I grab my signalers attention, forgetting the protocol completely and waving one arm, while gripping my stinging cheek with the other, the brunette sees and I beckon to the Karen and her boyfriend as they finish coming down the slide, and splash in front of my signaler, I point to the Karen several times, using hand gestures to motion that I want her OUT of my park. I point repeatedly at her, make X signs, and even the MLB umpire "you're thrown out" gesture, but just as I start to think she's making sense of my gestures..
the Karen approaches the brunette lifeguard, my signaler breaks eye contact with me, and begins listening to whatever garbage is coming from the young Karen's mouth about me, she repeatedly points up at me in anger as she speaks to my inferior, I debate going down there; but decide to remain in post temporarily.
From my command tower I watch as the Karen complains to my fellow lifeguard, as well as her friend Karen #2; who had been waiting for them to come down the slide, now she also looks pissed, looking up at me repeatedly as the first Karen continues gesturing and filling Karen 2 and the other lifeguard in on whatever lies she's trying to speak about me, I watch as the fat girl runs towards the locker room, what I now assume is her boyfriend, on her heels attempting to console her, but stopping when she entered the lockeroom door. I saw him sit with his head in his hands outside the door, waiting or attempting to talk through the door, I couldn't tell you from that distance.
I keep watching as the Karens and the one Karen's boyfriend heads towards the locker room as well, the girls enter, the guy waits outside with the sitting dude, attempting to chat or cheer him up, the group frequently gaze in my direction throughout this ordeal, the girls on the way over, and the guys as they waited outside the changing room, I didn't flinch at their gaze, staring at them in an attempt to dismiss them without leaving my tower.
I watched them until the 3 girls came out of the changing room, the 2 chubby young Karen's in their two bright two pieces, escorting the fat girl in her black one piece back to the main gathering of people, if you can even call this tiny birthday party a gathering. The girl sits, clearly still shaken but not the stumbling mess she was moments before. The people around her seem to ask what's wrong, or I assume so as the Karen's and the fat girl seem to be telling the story to anyone who cares to hear it, motioning at me and even straight up pointing, I look for my signaler to attempt to repeat my message, but don't see her, I look around the park for a good 30 seconds but don't see her, she's left her post, even if she's to use the bathroom I'm supposed to know I don't have a signaler..I hadn't seen her since the Karen was speaking to her and begin to walk away, my eyes followed the two Karen's and the one boyfriend and forgot all about my signaler. I grew annoyed so I attempted to make eye contact and hand gestures to the two guy lifeguards, but they were either really focused on their job, or zoned out, because neither so much as glanced my way. I was NOT used to not getting my way, and I had NEVER been assaulted in my life, I was fuming, but honestly..remaining on my tower because I didn't want no more smoke. I mean yeah I worked out..but this body was build for speed..not strength, I'd never fought anyone before, I'm not gonna say I'm a pussy, but I'm inexperienged in the matter, privileged, and my sass is usually enough to command a scene..I'd never had anyone resort to violence with me, nor had I ever resulted to violence, and I honestly feared the Karens coming back up here, it would be 2 on 1 at that point..and they were getting the rest of the guests to turn against me as well, I resigned myself to being a cop caller if I felt any danger, or threat to myself once more today.
Frustrated at not being able to see or make contact with my signaler and the male lifeguards, I resumed my staring at the gathering and the heavy set girl at the center of it..growing uneasy. I didn't see the Karens, and where the hell was my signaler..?
No one comes up the tower to go down the slide during this time, so I'm forced to my voyeurism, frustration and paranoia as I scan my park for the persons I seek.
Just then I hear steps coming up my stairs..of course! I'd never looked down to the bottom of the tower! I clenched up nervous, ready to blow my whistle.
So I got busy and never made my contest entry on time..but didn't want to toss the idea, here's part 1 sorry for my absence as always.
Yet he insisted I get a summer job at 16, like the less privileged kids, and he maintained this mindset throughout college as well. Insisting that I was "lucky" to have what I have, and that other students work after class, and day and night throughout the summer to pay for their tuition, and so the "least" I could do, was be a lifeguard, "especially seeing how you're such a fantastic swimmer and all!"
I loved and appreciated him, but loathed his attitude towards me, handing me the world while guilt tripping me for it, and "Oh the other kids this", "oh the other kids that" I've heard it my entire life. I know I am bit privileged, my family being upper middle classish, and my last name helping me with teachers, making friends with other students, maintaining a place in the popular crowd, and even get out of tickets once or twice..
I mean did he not realize that not only is the original "American dream" of paying for college and pursuing a prideful career, with a livable wage, on your day job's pay, dead as the youths hope of a better future, but even the people working 2+ jobs and going to school to make tuition, have given up on that nonsense, does he really think at my Ivy League school there's a bunch of people "coming up out the mud?" Or any college for that matter? The only people that's left is rich parent's kids, gifted scholars and athletes; and poor people who've made a terrible financial decision..ugh rant over but the point is..
I'm freakin done! No more summer jobs! No more "but the other kids.." I've worked hard and so did my team, and last year we went to conferences, made it decently far into nationals, and lost, not to any fault of mine, I kicked ass, nailed all my times, and placed podium in every race I was in, but..I'm one of our star swimmers and some of our bottom pickings cost us points, costing us placement, and ultimately eliminating us to a team that was more well rounded..
So this year, since I had several Olympic scouts with their eyes on me in my junior year, I had to nail it in my senior year, this was my last chance to shine, to continue up the ladder and maybe compete for my country rather than any old school..I had dreams to say the least, and Daddy has always seen my potential, so he made an agreement with me..I would only have to work half of the summer and train the rest! Pretty bogus deal if you ask me but again he does alot for me, taking care of basically my every bill and need, the lifeguard money was honestly laughable, but the hours were chill and I got to remain around what I loved and had carried me furthest in life..
That chlorinated pool smell was home, and there were alot worse jobs he could force me to be doing. It also always left me with a killer tan, and the sun bleached my bright blonde hair, nearly white every summer. Not that I needed it, my body was always summer ready with the workouts and constant training/dieting I underwent for my passion. There was next to zero body fat on my body, my legs were fit, my tummy flat and toned, my boobs were biggish, perky, weighed me down a bit but I'm a fast swimmer, my only guilty pleasure was..well my butt, every other muscle in my body I've sculpted and stayed routine in keeping fit, but also lean, slim, toned without muscle gain to the point of weighing me down, it was more of a difficult balance than you'd imagine, sure getting fit takes dedication but not getting too fit being skinny but not too skinny toned but not too toned.. you get the gist, it was a lifestyle..my butt I didn't treat the same and my trainers HATED me for it, they insisted I could shed my swimtimes atleast marginally, butt..instead I LOVED having a big, prominent, ass, the kind every guy in the room looks at, and their wives too..they just can't help themselves..and not only am I proud of this asset, I kinda get off on it..I mean all the higher class women look good, have pretty hair; their makeup is nice, perfect white smile..you gotta know how to stand out in a league like that, and I mean my looks carried me a long way, but this booty..I worked for this booty, and this booty has gotten me places is all I got to say..
Anywho..enough about my butt..what was I on about? the sun in my hair and tan just helped me nail the Baywatch look. Our outfits had been mostly the same every year, spandex sports bra, red, with the word "LIFEGUARD" in white font in the front, when I started the bottoms were somewhat conservative, boyshorts with the same word as the chest, emblazoned on the rear, same color scheme, red bottoms with bold bright white lettering. I never understood why the boyshorts were necessary if my job title was going to be big and bold, on my already big and bold butt.
I petitioned my fellow girl lifeguards my first year, that the tanline the boyshorts were giving us was lame, and that the logic behind said boyshorts was misogynistic and also bogus. They agreed, mostly wanting to lose the white shorts line they were permanently gifted with on their bare bodies, unless otherwise tanning elsewhere, and even then you'd basically have to be naked to even out, as if you tanned in a standard bikini bottom, the shorts lined would ALWAYS be darker from the long days in the sun, we won our arguments, and the guys obviously didn't argue at the ladies wanting to show more skin, so the following years since, including this year, we've been given more attractive bottoms.
I love the way they fit me, they aren't necessarily provocative, especially in the current landscape, the many girls I see visiting the park on a day to day show far more, but..they are generous to the cheek, my ass fills them and spills out the bottom, as does any lifegal with the slightest hints of a butt, but mine especially, I'm always picking a wedgie, and the spandex likes to bury itself in my cheeks, but as I said before..I don't quiet mind the attention that brings me. The LIFEGUARD along the fabric covering our buttcheeks remained, albeit slightly smaller to fit on the smaller bikini..
so now you know everything about me, what I look like, what I was wearing, how I got the position and place I was in, and why for me especially, being higher class and sought after..today was about to be a really bad day..it was my last freakin day dude!
2 o' clock on my last day at the park..lunch break, every one exits the water, there's a stand down for 30 minutes, the ones who were in the sun working, are brought in to concessions and front desk, the ones at concessions and front desk, go out in the field to their positions so that the break can conclude, each group gets a 20 minute time frame off, and the positions front of house and in the field are maintained with minimal workers. It was on this break that I was approached by my boss, while throwing away my fruit cups, she lightly tapped me on the shoulder, friendly but I knew what that tap lead to, if she wanted my attention for any other reason, other than to ask a favor, she would had just said so..
Jennifer was my boss, and we were pretty tight, she was actually my high school swim coach, I owed her alot, not just for putting me on the swim team and giving me this job, but for encouraging me and being supportive in my journey. I give myself alot of credit where it's due, but that lady deserves it just as much if not more than me, without her I would of never believed in myself, gotten a scholarship, pushed myself to the body of my dreams..so it's not really fair when Jen asks me a favor, it's different than the rest of my coworkers, we were close, she knew she could count on me..and I hated it. She had pulled this same manuever time after time and I always got lumped into working the private party after hours, everytime someone called out, no one else speaks up and there's that little tap, randomly to burst my bubble of being free of this place.
The money was good, it paid time and a half, but I didn't need money, and time and a half as a lifeguard was still..pennies. Atleast in my "spoiled" eyes. Where the money was actually good, was for the Waterpark, a private party, 2-3 hours maximum, paid 2-3 days worth of our standard daily earnings, maybe more depending on the size of the party attending..Renting the entire Waterpark wasn't cheap, but many people in our community had the dough, and so we were frequently asked or required to stay after hours for these parties. I despised these parties, most of them were chill, but you get a bunch of people together that think they rented the place, so they can do as they please, and I'm forced to be the enforcer of grown adults. The same rules I must yell at school children, I'm forced to yell at whoever attends the party. If they hurt themselves doing things that are against our safety policy apparently I can be held accountable if at minimum, I don't make attempts to stop them, and warn them of the dangers.
In all my years, during regular hours I've rarely had to enforce some of the things that happen during these parties, people roughhouse, run on wet cement, and attempt to break the safety procedures on slides. I've seen more injuries and had to tend to more guests at these parties than any standard day. People fall on the cement? my job for first aid. Accidentally knock their friend out? Force me to rescue and resuscitate. One guy broke a leg going down one of the slides that's clearly meant for tube riding, just stupid stuff. I even got fucking Wendy Peppercorned once!
So when Jen asks..
"so..I know it's your last day with us..but nobody else can fill the role tonight for the birthday party, Kenzie has to pick up her sister from choir..
(I shoot my friend Kenzie a glare over Jen's shoulder, she winks back in return)
"..and Mark has baseball practice..there's not really any veterans around I can depend on..I mean it can't be 4 rookies in one shift.."
She wants me to work the party with three new guards? Was she crazy? The party is gonna walk all over them and do what they please, no backbone in any of the noobs, used to children bending to their commands, there's no shot they manage to enforce any rules down there, and being I'm the most seasoned, I'll be stuck on the slide tower all freakin night, being as it's the most dangerous thing in the park..
"..I really need someone on the tower I can trust.."
There it is, hook line and sinker, I'm boned, no way out of this, I can't say no to Jen..
I begrudgingly interrupt her decisive-favor attack, with a fake smile and a hand on her shoulder.
"Of course I got you Jen..I mean it is my last day, what's one last party gonna hurt?" I say with force, seeing my fellow guards and friends snicker at their tables behind Jennifer.
"Oh good! I knew I could count on you, you sure it's no bother?" She asks, her eyes bright, the question basically rhetorical as she knew she'd got me.
Another fake smile.
"No bother at all!" I say through my teeth.
Jennifer leaves, seemingly happy with the result of our conversation..I sit with my friends to finish my meal on my last day..
. . . . .
The end of the normal workday has came. My last one.
"We sure are gonna miss you girl!"
"Promise you'll come to visit?"
"When you're in the Olympics don't forget about us! You know this place ain't paying!"
I hug all my friends goodbye, making false promises of visits and splitting my winnings, and the group of people I've worked years with now is gone.
I'm left with me, a younger girl guard, 17 maybe, and 2 dudes, I was out of both of their league. They all were looking at me as everyone left, like they needed commands..ugh this was gonna be a long night.
"Who all has worked a party here?"
The girl raises her hand, the guys do not.
"..okay..and how many have you worked?" I ask her.
"Um..one.." she says, she's kinda cute, brunette, shorter, tiny butt compared to me, I've hardly spoke with her since she started here, and to be honest her persona annoys me, she doesn't necessarily command my respect, none of them do really.
"..okay.." I start.
"But like I know all the stuff! Party goers break way more rules and all the warnings, and I uh..know the positions we are all supposed to be in! And the hand signals for bottom of the tower, they had Kenzie at the top so that's the only one I don't really know.." she interrupts me.
"Okay then do you care to educate the boys on the positions, if you're going to be my signaler?" I said, curious if she actually knew what she was talking about, and truthfully not wanting to explain it myself.
"Okay so, one of you will be at the common pool, lots of people congregate their at these parties and it's your job to make sure not only do they not drown, but they don't break any of the park's rules, if they hurt themselves while breaking park rules without an acknowledgement and attempt of prevention from you, you and the park can be sued if they're injured..sound about right Kayla?" She turns to me, the comment less so seeming to want my approval, and more so, coming off as a know-it-all.
"Indeed. Go on, explain the other positions, even mine and yours in case there is any swaps needed." I say.
"The other will be on lazy river duty, but instead of handing out rafts like you do during day shift, they get their own, and it's your job to pace the lazy river and ensure everyone is safe, and once again following all rules.."
"My job is to stay at the bottom of the slides, signal whenever the guest has safely made it down the slide, and out of the kicking zone, for the next guest to go down the slide, similar to normal daily duties, the only difference being that the ropes that usually separate the slides exit, from the lazy river, will be pulled back and guest will be free to coast from the end of the slide, and into the river without having to exit and go to the correct entrance.."
"Kayla's job is to sit on top of the tower and look pretty.." she giggled
I rolled my eyes, used to such comments.
"She makes sure everyone follows proper procedure going down the slide. Proper height restrictions, persons limits, etc."
She finished.
This really felt like something Jennifer should be teaching the rookies, she had pawned it off on me, and I had pawned it off on Know-it-all Nancy, or should I call her No Booty Judy? I don't even know any of these younger, less experienced, guards names, and I'm done after today so I don't care to.
"That about covers it. I'm going to the tower, you guys go to your positions, the party is in 30 minutes and from my experience that means guests start arriving right about.."
"Hey we are here for the birthday party!" Someone calls over my shoulder, we had been having the prep talk at the front desk.
"Yes mam, we were just headed to our positions, let us know if you have any questions, and please insure you let all guests know they must follow our safety policies.." I say, almost automatic, used to the mom showing up early for the party.
"Yeah they aren't my guests lady I'm just here for the party, tell em yourself.." the chick says, I hadn't bothered to even check her appearance before speaking, she was clearly younger than me and I was foolish for assuming she was the host but her comments were rude nevertheless.
And so it began, the very first person I spoke to was rude, I left the others to tend to everything else and headed up my tower to start my dreaded final night working at the Waterpark..
Really everything was going pretty smooth at first, people start0ed to show up and come into the park, we stayed in our positions allowing them to get comfortable and feel as if they have the run of the place.(they don't)
The party was kinda small..usually anyone who rents the entire park has a decent crowd of friends or invites a crowd of fake friends, but from what I could tell after a half hour or so, this was going to be their turnout, the ages all seemed mostly end of high school, early collegish at first judging from afar, and later seeing the guests go down my slides, I had 1 enclosed/dark body slide, and 1 raft slide to attend to. They all seemed..mostly plain, bland, not the most attractive guys or girls, mostly girls, and the occasional older, what I assume to be family member of the birthday person. I drew a conclusion these people were nerds, or atleast way further down the social spectrum than I've ever been, the party was easy..boring even, everyone was following the rules, courteous and I was happy and content that my last day and last party was going smoothly.
I watched the other guards from my position, the new guys seemed to be managing well, pacing their positions a bit excessively, I suppose taking the sueing threat seriously. The other girl guard did a good job as signaler when someone went down the slide, but few were bothering to, and she chatted with the guests that passed her position as they went around the lazy river. After awhile of this I came to the conclusion she knew the group, and they were her friends, her getting paid to hangout with her friends was slightly annoying..but I couldn't really bitch at her if no one was going down the slides in the first place, I grew bored and impatient for my final day to finally end..when a group began trotting up my stairs, some of them carrying the donut rafts needed to go down the raft slide.
I heard their chatter draw closer and stood tall on my podium,(more of a stool than anything, so I can see my signaler) my round ass nearly face level, I popped my leg a few times as if I was stretching it out from standing, just as I heard the group reach the top of the stairs, the result was my cheeks jiggling into their resting place in front of their eyes. I had heard a couple guy voices, and decided to tease them with my assets, just a little wiggle, enough to plead innocence, but also enough to make them gawk and draw attention to my job title plastered to my bottoms.
I turned my neck around to gaze at the newest guests who trekked up my stairs. It was a group of 3 girls, and 2 guys. I was met with 2 hateful glares, 1 envious stare, and 2 perverted, locked eyes, mouth open stares from the dudes. 3 of them were holding a donut raft, and 2 looked prepared to go down the body slide. The guys were skinny, dorky, kinda ugly. The glaring girls, and were both chubby, out of shape, maybe not overweight, the third girl looking at me enviously, was heavy set, bigger girl, her body stuffed into a one piece that didn't want it in there.
Both of the glaring girls, stepped on the gawking boys toes hard, as I gazed over my shoulder at them, a perfect 10, scantily clad with a big butt, they couldn't help themselves and how could these girls blame them? I pretended not to notice. One of the girls huffed a bit bumping what I assume was her man angrily and strode past me, plopping her ass down and sending herself down the slide, without my ok.
Without hesitation I turned to her friends.
"When you get to the bottom, you need to tell her she's not to go down this slide without my clear okay first."
I say; on a bit of a power trip I'll admit, but their dirty, envious looks had rubbed me the wrong way, it wasn't my fault they didn't care about their body as much as I did, I wasn't gifted this, I had earned this, and earned the right to flaunt it.
"What do I look like her keeper? You need to lay off lady, this is a birthday party, we aren't little kids for you to boss around." The other glaring chubby girl snapped at me.
She plopped her own intertube down and gestured for her boyfriend to sit in it.
"You aren't planning to attempt to ride this ride together are you?" I say confidently.
"Why yes, yes I am, now we paid our money, why don't you leave us be, your job is to stand around, look trampy, and babysit children, NOT to control how we enjoy this park during OUR party!" Says what I'm gonna call Karen #1, for simplicity sake at this point.
I've been in this position before, and part of me, wanted to just let it go, let them do as they please, it's my last day after all, but the other part of me, refused to buckle, or submit my authority to these chubby bitches. From previous experience, words weren't enough to regain control of the situation from a Karen, claiming they can do as they please because it's a private party, so I pulled a move I'd used before..
Without hesitation and with force, I blew my whistle loudly in the girls direction and commanded:
"It is against safety policy to allow more than 1 rider per tube! Which means you will NOT be going down this slide with your man or I will have you escorted from the property..
Karen number 1 attempts to interrupt me, Karen number 2 can be seen below in the water; looking up wondering what the hold up was with her friends; the heavy set girl who seemed sweet and just envious, not evily glaring at my bum earlier..sits quietly seeming to grow upset.
"Now listen here.." Karen 1 begins, her man still sitting in the tube at the slide entrance, and her standing, and pointing a finger at me.
I smile and blow my whistle for a longer duration, cutting off the Karen and asserting dominance over the situation.
"Do you not understand there's weight limits so people don't fall off and get really hurt? Do you not understand you're 2/3 that weight limit and your scrawny boyfriend is the rest?.." She seemed taken aback, I continued
"Now you only have 1 tube and 4 of you left up here, so some of you are going to have to go down the body slide. If that's a problem, and you wish to go down the tube slide, then you can go down the stairs, retrieve more tubes, and return.."
the glares I was getting, made this last power trip almost seem worth working the party.
I don't know what brought it upon me next, maybe the burning glare from the Karen in front of me, or the concerned look of her cowardly boyfriend still seated, awaiting my permission to go down the slide, minus his girlfriend, and gawking at me past his girl whenever he could. I always notice gawking men, and the simps with ladies like these, don't hide it well in the presence of a lady like myself. The heavier girl was standing behind, originally awaiting her turn with the other guy remaining on my tower waiting next to her, I assumed he was here for the body slide, they both were mostly silent during this exchange, but she was visibly growing upset, in a totally different way than the Karen in front of me, instead her lip was beginning to quiver and she seemed flustered, the guy next to her seemed unsure of himself or what to do. Being the bitch that I am I decided this would be a perfect time to drop a bomb on the entire group and really drive the nail home that I mean business and this is MY park, atleast for this last day..It was SOOO unnecessary..what I said next is what really got me into trouble..
"Not only are two of you going to have to take the body slide, or go get tubes, but uhm.." I looked the heavy set girl in the eyes.
"..uh I'm sorry sweety but you will not be allowed to ride either of these slides, there is a clear and posted weight limit, and I suspect you to be over it, now I don't have a scale up here, they've insisted that's too intrusive and would hurt people's feelings..but uh..yeah.. it's kinda a judgement call on my part without the scale and I don't believe it'd be safe for you to travel down this ride today, feel free to watch your friends from here, or head down to meet them at the bottom.." I don't know why I went after the heaviest girl, she hadn't really bothered me thus far, but she was with the group attempting to belittle and challenge my authority..truthfully I had a bit of a valid concern..this girl was easily pushing 275-300, tall, big girl, total softy at heart I can tell, and our policy called for 325+ guests to not be allowed down the slides. She was probably definitely in the safe zone, but she was pushing it, I was feeling on my high horse, like head bitch on my last day, and her friends had challenged me, she ended up in the line of fire and that wasn't my problem..or so I thought.
I expected them to maybe be upset, but I hadn't expected the heavy set girl to began bawling her eyes out and running down the stairs, the guy following her, attempting to console her, and calling back to me how I'm a "stupid fucking bitch" as he dissappeared after the fat girl, no sooner than I could witness this and Karen 1 SLAPS me in the face and says "you most definitely fucked up now." She then proceeds to plop down on her boyfriends lap, and scoot herself down the slide, in the most aggressive way someone could manage the awkward maneuver. They were off down the slide, and I was fuming at the Karen assaulting me, and disregarding anything I said as well!
I grab my signalers attention, forgetting the protocol completely and waving one arm, while gripping my stinging cheek with the other, the brunette sees and I beckon to the Karen and her boyfriend as they finish coming down the slide, and splash in front of my signaler, I point to the Karen several times, using hand gestures to motion that I want her OUT of my park. I point repeatedly at her, make X signs, and even the MLB umpire "you're thrown out" gesture, but just as I start to think she's making sense of my gestures..
the Karen approaches the brunette lifeguard, my signaler breaks eye contact with me, and begins listening to whatever garbage is coming from the young Karen's mouth about me, she repeatedly points up at me in anger as she speaks to my inferior, I debate going down there; but decide to remain in post temporarily.
From my command tower I watch as the Karen complains to my fellow lifeguard, as well as her friend Karen #2; who had been waiting for them to come down the slide, now she also looks pissed, looking up at me repeatedly as the first Karen continues gesturing and filling Karen 2 and the other lifeguard in on whatever lies she's trying to speak about me, I watch as the fat girl runs towards the locker room, what I now assume is her boyfriend, on her heels attempting to console her, but stopping when she entered the lockeroom door. I saw him sit with his head in his hands outside the door, waiting or attempting to talk through the door, I couldn't tell you from that distance.
I keep watching as the Karens and the one Karen's boyfriend heads towards the locker room as well, the girls enter, the guy waits outside with the sitting dude, attempting to chat or cheer him up, the group frequently gaze in my direction throughout this ordeal, the girls on the way over, and the guys as they waited outside the changing room, I didn't flinch at their gaze, staring at them in an attempt to dismiss them without leaving my tower.
I watched them until the 3 girls came out of the changing room, the 2 chubby young Karen's in their two bright two pieces, escorting the fat girl in her black one piece back to the main gathering of people, if you can even call this tiny birthday party a gathering. The girl sits, clearly still shaken but not the stumbling mess she was moments before. The people around her seem to ask what's wrong, or I assume so as the Karen's and the fat girl seem to be telling the story to anyone who cares to hear it, motioning at me and even straight up pointing, I look for my signaler to attempt to repeat my message, but don't see her, I look around the park for a good 30 seconds but don't see her, she's left her post, even if she's to use the bathroom I'm supposed to know I don't have a signaler..I hadn't seen her since the Karen was speaking to her and begin to walk away, my eyes followed the two Karen's and the one boyfriend and forgot all about my signaler. I grew annoyed so I attempted to make eye contact and hand gestures to the two guy lifeguards, but they were either really focused on their job, or zoned out, because neither so much as glanced my way. I was NOT used to not getting my way, and I had NEVER been assaulted in my life, I was fuming, but honestly..remaining on my tower because I didn't want no more smoke. I mean yeah I worked out..but this body was build for speed..not strength, I'd never fought anyone before, I'm not gonna say I'm a pussy, but I'm inexperienged in the matter, privileged, and my sass is usually enough to command a scene..I'd never had anyone resort to violence with me, nor had I ever resulted to violence, and I honestly feared the Karens coming back up here, it would be 2 on 1 at that point..and they were getting the rest of the guests to turn against me as well, I resigned myself to being a cop caller if I felt any danger, or threat to myself once more today.
Frustrated at not being able to see or make contact with my signaler and the male lifeguards, I resumed my staring at the gathering and the heavy set girl at the center of it..growing uneasy. I didn't see the Karens, and where the hell was my signaler..?
No one comes up the tower to go down the slide during this time, so I'm forced to my voyeurism, frustration and paranoia as I scan my park for the persons I seek.
Just then I hear steps coming up my stairs..of course! I'd never looked down to the bottom of the tower! I clenched up nervous, ready to blow my whistle.
So I got busy and never made my contest entry on time..but didn't want to toss the idea, here's part 1 sorry for my absence as always.
