Levi Dodds and Jamei Santiago are acrobats from England and America. Following a job offer from the famous SIA to perform for one of her music videos, they travel to Australia to perform on Bondi beach.
Hot sun, hot boys in blue and even hotter sta...
The sun beat down on my face as I stepped off the plane into the gorgeous Australian heat. Over 24 hours on a plane from England and it feels amazing to stretch my legs properly. My best friend and dance partner, Jamei was beside me in as we leapt down the metal stairs like children and onto the roasting hot tarmac below. Checking my watch, 1pm. Not too bad.
"Oooo I'm so excited for this Le. Hot sun, sexy men and my beautiful ass gets a tan too!" Jamei spoke from beside me as we made our way into the airport to collect our bags. I smiled at him, nodding in agreement.
"It's so hot, I cant wait to get to the beach to see where we're going to be doing the shoot". I wafted my hand in front of my face in a weak attempt to cool myself down. Jamei laughed at my feeble attempt and pulled a battery powered fan out of his bag. It wasn't great but it was a start.
Making our way through into the lovely air conditioned airport, we headed to the baggage claim.
..........................
"Now THAT was dramatic" Jamei exclaimed. I was still laughing, feeling a stitch coming on, at the sheer dramatics that ensued at the baggage claim. Some woman tried to claim Jamei's bag as hers and, lets just say it didn't go down too well and she left very red faced in the end.
Our agent, Sam, was walking just ahead of us, chatting down her head piece to someone about something, I tend to shut her out after a while. She's lovely, and a great agent, but she's always on the phone.
Suddenly, she stops dead in her tracks and spins 180 to face us. "Your car is over there" She points to a red convertible in the corner of the car park. "Here are the keys." She threw a set of keys at me, with a fluffy red pom-pom attached to the keyring. "And here is all of the stuff you need for your hotel, bookings etc" She handed Jamei a plastic envelope full of paper. "I have to go to a meeting about the set up for tomorrow, so I'll not be able to take you there. You know your way around though, don't you?" She didn't wait for an answer before walking away.
"Short and sweet, just how I like it" Jamei throws me a wink as he spoke.
"Yeah, I don't suppose she got the name Short Sam for nothing" I laughed as we hauled our cases to the car. Luckily I knew my way to the hotel we were staying at since my grandmother lives here in Australia. We chatted about our excitement for the oncoming four weeks and how much we loved this country.
Jamei is from America, Florida to be precise so he's used to warmer weather than I was. Living in the North of England, the weather was either raining or raining heavy.
We checked into the hotel fairly easily, the rooms we were given were right next to each other. After the debacle we had last time we shared a room, we asked for separate ones this time. Jamei's boyfriend often comes out to visit him while we're away working, especially if we're away for long periods of time. I however, don't have anyone come out to visit me. Which I was fine with. I enjoy being single. I feel free. The room was a dark purple colour, with purple carpet and curtains. The bed was a crystal white king size bed, it was just the usual hotel set up. I flung my case down and rived it open wanting out of these sweatpants. I pulled out some simple running shorts and a vest top.

I tied my long brown hair into a loose bun on top of my head and sent Jamei a text message

I'm going to jump in the shower, we need to sort through our costumes xx
I got a text back that consisted of three Xs, tossed my phone on the bed and went into the shower. Once we'd both showered and changed from our travel clothes we were sat on the beds checking through the trips itinerary when Jamei shot up off the bed and borderline shouted "LETS GO TO THE BEACH! Bondi is right there!" He pointed to the beach out the window.
"I'm so tired, J." I flung myself back onto the bed but he wasn't having any of it. Dragging me off the bed, rambling on about how he wasn't going to spend his time in Australia stuck in the hotel, and with that, I was dragged off to Bondi beach.
