Bondi Boys In Blue | Bondi Love Story

The Hoop lowered down till it was nearly touching the floor. A few of the lifeguards in the tower were watching through their binoculars at Harrison. I made him stand on the bottom of the hoop and hold onto the rope. We weren't going too high so he didn't need a harness. Just high enough to swing about. I stood on the hoop as well, so we were facing each other. The proximity was quite intimate, but then again, aerial was intimate anyway. Especially if you're with a partner. 

I gave the signal for the guys to lift us up. "You ready?" He grinned and nodded his head, he didn't look overly sure, but we went anyway. As soon as it stopped, i realised we were only 5 foot off the floor. If he was to fall he'd just hit with a thud. 

"Hold on tight, we're going to swing. I need to you bend you knees when you swing forward. It helps us go higher." I didn't even wait for an answer, I just started swinging. His grip tightened and his face changed to one of shock. 

"This is amazing!" He laughed so loud and it made my heart fly out of my chest at the sight and sound. I slowly stopped swinging and let the hoop come to a stop. He was laughing still, breathing deeply with excitement. He looked at me square in the face. Our faces very close. 

"You're amazing, the way you can do this." The hoop started lowering. And i dropped down before it hit the bottom to steady it. Harrison stepped off, and the grin on his face was enough to make my heart burst. 
"Jesse, mate! You've got to have a go!" Jesse, however, wasn't having any of it. He informed him that their lunch break was over and they had to get back to work. Looking slightly upset by this he turned round and hugged me, taking me off guard. Whispering in my ear, his breath tickling my neck as he spoke he said "Thank you! That was awesome!" I hugged him back. Whispering a "Any time, hun" Back to him. He let go and for some reason it felt strange to leave him as he walked away. 

Jamei made his way to my side and nudged me. "He likes you." He stated matter of factly. "And you..." He turned to me "Like him too." I didn't even try to fight it. I do quite fancy that tanned boy in blue board shorts. "Come on, lover girl. We've got a routine to polish" and pointed to the hoop. "How about, we try and work through a routine for the song? Then go for lunch?" i propositioned, feeling the hunger set in. His eyes lit up at the very thought of food. 

We grabbed the hoop and the music began. 

The music stopped and we hit the floor, again with a round of applause. I was suddenly very self conscious that i looked naked. I asked for a jacket, but low and behold there wasn't one. I groaned. Jamei was quite happy swanning around with no jacket on, looking naked. I, however was not. 

I decided to see if the lifeguards had anything in lost and found i could borrow and began making my way up to the tower. Receiving some very strange looks from some people and looks of awe from others. Reaching the tower i was immediately greeted by Maxi.

"HI, Levi! That was amazing!" I laughed at his excitedness and smiled at him, He flung an arm around my shoulders and pulled he into the tower "So what do we owe the pleasure?" He enquired, letting to once we were in the room. Reidy and Jethro were sat with the binoculars and immediately turned around to say hi! 

"I need a jacket. We're going for lunch but i'm not going out ant about looking like this." I pointed to the suit i was wearing. "Do you guys have anything in lost and found i could pinch for an hour or two?" Reidy threw me a jacket off a peg and told me i could wear it. I heard Jamei shouting for me so i thanked the boys quickly, without even looking i threw on the jacket and ran after J. 

We made our way up to a lovely little cafe at the top of the hill with a few of the crew members from the shoot. I was sat having a lovely panini and salad when Jamei suddenly gasped from the where he was sat in front of me. Thinking i had something on my face i immedietly started touching my face and he laughed. 

"NO! Hunny, you don't have anything on your face. I'm laughing at the jacket you have on." I looked at him confused. Until i looked down and saw LIFEGUARD stamped along the outer arm, but why was he laughing at that? I frowned and looked at him. He reached over his plate and pointed to a piece of the jacket. Just above my left breast, the name HARRISON was stamped in white print. Ahh... that's why. I rolled my eyes, and  scoffed at him. 

"Stop it will you. I'm only borrowing it." I stuffed more salad in my mouth. Brushing off the fact that Jamei was in hysterics at the fact that i had Harrison's jacket on. Making stupid comments about how i'll be wearing his t-shirts soon enough. What an arsehole. 

Once wefinished our lunch, the group of us headed back to the beach. I decided to go via the lifeguard tower to return the jacket i borrowed. As i walked in, Harrison was the only one there. As i walked in his face lit up and he looked slightly confused when he saw i had his jacket on. I smiled slightly and took it off, returning to looking like a gigantic naked baby. I held it out to him and he took it. 

"I was wondering where this went. How come you had it?" He asked hanging it on the abck of his chair. 

"Reidy gave me it earlier so i could go to dinner and not look naked." I pointed to the leotard that was sparkling in the sun. "I had no idea it was yours. Not until J pointed out that it had Harrison stamped on the front." I laughed, he did to. 

"So are you guys still going out tonight?" He asked, i nodded and he asked "Well some of us get off at 5, do you want to meet us at the top of the hill at 7? The other guys that finish later will meet us after." 

"That sounds like a plan. However, we both need to get back to work." He grinned and i returned the expression. As i walked away, i decided to throw out a wild card and push my luck. "Oh.. by the way" I turned and popped my head back into the tower. "Keep your eyes on the sea, and not my arse" I threw a wink his way and he blushed a deep scarlet red. Walking away i felt accomplished that i'd made him blush.

We'll find out tonight which way that makes things go.
