After a great dinner at the local cafe, Jonathan and Jasmine decided to go for a walk in the park. She had said that it was good for their digestion but Jonathan didn't really care about that. He just merely wanted to spend more time with her as he really wanted to get to know her better.
Jasmine stopped walking and turned to face Jonathan, "Let's play 5 questions."
He looked at her, "What's that?"
"Well, it's a quick way to get to know each other." Jasmine said, "What do you say, Mr mystery fireman?"
He smiled, "I accept."
She smiled back, "Good! Why don't you start?"
He nodded a little and said, "This is the most basic question. Where's your hometown?"
"Well… I was originally from Manhattan, New York." Jasmine said
"And I was from Cincinnati, Ohio." Jonathan said
"From the South, eh?" Jasmine said
Jonathan grinned, "I'm a Southern gentleman."
Jasmine chuckled, "I'll have to get back to you on that."
He shrugged with a smile, "Which will be pretty soon."
She shook her head as she sat down on a bench, "Okay. My turn. What is your happiest memory as an adult?"
Jonathan smiled, "I would say… Right now."
She looked at him, a smile on her lips, "You're trying to get into my good books, aren't you?"
He shrugged with a nonchalant look, "Am I?"
Jasmine laughed before saying, "But, I did have a great time tonight."
"Me too." Jonathan said
The two of them looked at each other and Jonathan took it as his chance to kiss her. Even though he wasn't sure if she was feeling exactly the same as he was, he didn't want to lose the special moment he had with her. Jonathan leaned in, and he was about to plant a kiss on her lips when the both of them heard someone scream. They moved away from each other almost instantly.
"What was that?" Jasmine said
"I don't know… But I think it's coming from over there." Jonathan said
The two of them looked at where Jonathan was pointing and it turned out to be a small crowd gathering by the lake in the park. They hurried over and pushed through the crowd; just enough to see what was happening.
A lady was flailing her arms in the water, trying her best to stay afloat.
No questions asked, Jonathan took off his jacket and threw it on the ground before diving into the lake. Jasmine was a little taken aback by the sudden quickness of Jonathan's actions. He had just gotten to the lady when paramedics arrived.
Everyone made way for the paramedics as they set up the gurney while Jonathan swam over with the lady. The paramedics helped the lady out of the water just before Jonathan got out.
One of the paramedics hurried over and wrapped Jonathan with a blanket.
"Thanks, Tyson." Jonathan said
"Don't mention it." Tyson said, "We should be thanking you. You saved us from getting wet."
Jonathan shoved Tyson a little, "Ha. Ha. You owe me your day's salary."
Tyson scoffed, "You wish, Good."
Jonathan smiled as did Tyson, who pat his back before heading towards the ambulance. Once she saw Tyson leave, Jasmine walked over to sit next to Jonathan, on the ground.
"Hey, you." Jasmine said
Jonathan turned and smiled, "Hey."
Jasmine chuckled to herself as she saw a leaf that was stuck to the side of Jonathan's head.
"What?" Jonathan asked
She shook her head as she reached over to help take it off.
"You shouldn't be laughing at the hero of the day." Jonathan said
"Yes, sir." Jasmine said, making a salute.
She looked at him, "You were amazing out there."
"Well, it's my job." Jonathan said, "I save people for a living."
He grinned a little before saying, "So… Do I get a reward?"
"Like you said… It's a job… So, no reward." Jasmine said
Jonathan merely shrugged and turned to look away. Jasmine chuckled a little to herself before she leaned in, about to kiss him on the cheek. Just as she nearly kissed his cheek, Jonathan turned back and she kissed him on the lips.
Jasmine quickly moved back and covered her lips in surprise.
Jonathan smiled, "That's a nice reward."
She lightly hit him on the arm, "You knew!"
"Yeah.." Jonathan said, "I did."
Jasmine smiled shyly as Jonathan reached over to hold her hand, marking the start of their new relationship.
