Bondi Boys In Blue | Bondi Love Story

Walking into the tower behind Harrison i suddenly became very aware of the amount of people cramped into such a small space. Jamie sat on a wheelie chair near a window with a set of binoculars against his head. A young man sat next to him with blonde hair was also sat with a pair of binoculars against his face, laughing as Jamei's ridiculous narrating of what was happening on the beach below. 

A few older men were stood back against the railing to the back of the tower, and another young lad with tattoos stood leaning against the door, grinning from ear to ear as the situation in front of him. 

"Ah Harrison! Who's this?" A short-ish man with a beard exclaimed as we walked in. 

"This" Harrison pushed my in front of him and kept his hands on my shoulders "Is Levi. Her and Jamei over there are dancers, dancing on that crane thing at south end." I smiled and did a small wave, everyone either smiled or waved back with a small hello, except from the blonde haired boy with the binoculars next to Jamei, he did a big wave and shouted  "HELLO!" I laughed and Jamei turned round and smiled.

"Le, I'm ready for a career change. I want to be a lifeguard." He grinned at me, this big beaning smile as he waggled his eyebrows. 

"And I'm ready to cart you off to the closest sanatorium. You cant even swim, J." I laughed at his foolishness and the guy with tattoos spoke up, again announcing that I'm British with a hint of surprise in his voice. 

Jamei laughed slightly and spoke up "She's British, and very single, guys!" He smirked his usual shit eating 'I've just got you in a hole' kind of smirk and turned back around. The older man from earlier that greeted us when we walked in laughed loudest at my facial expression, which would of looked like one of death. 

"I think your friend's about to spark you, mate. You best run." He laughed again as Jamei waved his hand as if to say 'Nah'. "My names Hoppo, by the way. I run the show down here at Bondi." I smiled at him and shook his outstretched hand. 

"I'm Levi, Please dont mind him. He's just a gigantic pain in everyone's arse these days." He laughed at the comment and i heard a scoff come from Jamei's direction. 

"So, you've already met our lovely Harrison. That's Maxi" Maxi, who was sat next to Jamei waved again with both arms "There's Jesse" Mr Sexy Tattoo man "Then there's Beardy, and Reidy" I didnt even realise there was another man stood behind... Beardy i think his name was, until now. 

"Nice to mean everyone, I must apologise about my friend. He requires a close eye sometimes." I heard Jamei  mutter 'Bitch' Under his breath and i flicked the back of his ear.

"So you're dancers then? What on earth are the cranes for? The rumour was there's some big movie scene being shot down here at the weekend." The tattoo'd guy, Jesse spoke up from the doorway. 

"We to acrobatics. In a sense. We dance in mid-air, essentially. And it's not a movie, its a music video. It s for SIA, the singer. Her song Elastic Heart. And that" I pointed back out through the doorway "is where we'll be dancing from." Hoppo whistled and put his hands on his hips. 

"You're braver than me, thats for sure." He slapped Beardy on the back and told him to lock up the shack. "It was lovely meeting you, both of you" He glanced over at Jamei "And i shall see you both tomorrow" He nodded his head towards us and i thanked him. 

It was only now that i realised that Harrison hadn't taken his hands off my shoulders and they were still situated firmly on my shoulders, his fingertips brushing my collarbones. His hands were warm, his fingers were soft yet rough at the same time as they sat on my bare flesh. His grip light and his body close to mine behind me. So close i can feel his body heat radiating off him and hitting me. 

I realised id been staring out into the sea, thinking to myself when Jamei coughed. I snapped back to realisation and stepped up the steps to the top of the tower and out of Harrison's grip. The loss of contact and heat making me shiver slightly, but i did my best to mask it. I Looked out into the sea and spoke "This view is amazing, up here. But we better go, J. We've got to be up early for rehearsals." Jamei nodded and handed Maxi his binoculars back. 

"I believe these belong to you, gorgeous." With a wink Jamei stood up and walked over to me, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "We should go indeed. However, What are you guys doing tomorrow night?" Harrison moved around from behind us now and stood near Jesse by the other door. The guys exchanged looks and shrugged. 

"Nothing much, what do you have in mind?" Jesse spoke after a minute or two. 

"Well we're here for a whole month. Sooo, where's the good places to go? Nice food? Good Drinks? Great atmosphere? If you're up for it of course?" He proposed. The guys kind of nodded and agreed. "GREAT! We'll be here nost of tomorrow rehearsing so feel free to come and say hi! We'll chat details tomorrow! We best be off, bust busy day." We said goodbye to the guys and as we were walking out of the shack and down the small ramp, i heard a small yell. Jameis phone started ringing, his boyfriend was calling so he walked ahead to answer it while i stopped and turned around. 

Harrison was running up to me, he had a small piece of paper in his hand. "Here," he handed me the piece of paper "There's my number, y'know, just in case. For tomorrow. Night i mean." He stumbled over himself. I took it and smiled at him. I grabbed the pen he has slipped just on the collar of his t-shirt and grabbed his hand, scribbling my number on the back of his hand. He was smiling the entire time. 

"Here's mine, just in case. I'm useless at remembering things" He laughed and so did i. I looked at him and couldn't help but smile wider. He was such a happy person. I slid his pen back onto his shirt and said a quick goodbye. I ran after Jamei, catching the end of his phone call as he said goodbye. 

We walked towards the hotel. I informed him about the number exchange and no sooner had we reached the door of the hotel my phone buzzed 

From : Unknown

Hey, It's Harrison from the beach. Just messaging to let you know there's a few of the other lads interested in coming tomorrow if that's okay? x

I saved his number and replied 

To : Harrison 

Hey! Yeah, that's fine. Jamei say's  'The more the merrier!' hah. Quite looking forward to seeing proper Australian Night life x

I didn't get a reply before i went to bed so i just thought he'd probably fell asleep and i'd see him tomorrow. Tomorrow. Jesus, i was not looking forward to tomorrow. As soon as my head hit my pillow i was asleep, sleeping soundly with dreams of Bondi.
