Bondi Boys In Blue | Bondi Love Story

18

It's been two days since i turned up at Harrison's and dragged him into the shower. I've never left his side since. We've been enjoying spending alone time together, as well as him coming to watch me and Jamei at press interviews for the Championships. 

Sam told me yesterday that we had a performance scheduled for Australia's Got Talent tonight and i managed to get a few extra tickets for the guys to come. I was getting ready to leave Harrisons apartment so we could both get ready for tonight and me and Jamei could go and sort the set out for later too. We were laying on the sofa and Harrison wouldnt let me go. 
"Don't go, i'll cry?" He offered. I laughed at him and wiggled out of his grip. 
"I'll see you later on. I promise." I grin as i pick up my shoes and car keys. I drove here and the car was parked on the street. He whined from the sofa, but blew me a kiss, i caught it and put it in my pocket. I closed the door behind me. Dear me, the things that boy does to me. 

................................. 

Some hours later we were stood side of stage waiting to be introduced and go and perform. We'd decided we were going to rejig an old performance. The rain machine was being utilised for this one. It did make it more dangerous being wet and all. But that was part of the fun. 

Harrison had been messaging me all day. Telling me how excited the guys were to see us perform properly. Jesse brought his girlfriend, Maxi and Taco came, so did Reidy, Hoppo and his wife, Beardy, Whippet and Connor was sat with them.

"GIVE IT UP FOR LEVI DODDS AND JAMEI SANTIAGO!" The stage went dark and the applause quietened down. We made our way out to our spots and the music started. 

Once we finished, the audience absolutely lost it. I was soaked through, and it was chilly in here. We stoop with our feet together and bowed grinning from ear to ear. Panting we took our final bows and walked off stage soaking wet. We were given robes to put on as soon as we hid side stage. I hugged Jamei. 
"I cant believe how well that went!" He hugged me back 
"Me either! Wow. It's been so long since we did TV its strange" He laughed and he headed to change into something dry. 

..................................................... 

The group of us left the studio early, to get ahead of the crowds. Everyone said their goodbyes, it was 7:30pm. Jamei and Connor informed us they had a reservation at a restaurant just outside of Sydney for their 3 year anniversary, i threw them the keys to the car and told them to have fun. Harrison picked me up and threw my over his shoulder, spinning on a circle.
We were both laughing loudly and I put a hand on his chest as he set me down. 
"What was that for?" He just grinned at me adoringly. 
"Just cause"

.....................................

We spent the night at my hotel, instead of his house, since it was closer. But i was getting ready to go and do the final pieces of the music shoot with Jamei. We'd been here nearly two weeks already. Harrison was going back to work today. He decided to go back on a Monday, start a fresh, new week.  

"Do you have to walk around in those pants?" Harrison says, smacking my bum as i walk out of the bathroom, a toothbrush in my mouth. I attempt to reply but fail miserably. 
I pulled a hair bobble out of a small tub near my bed and walked back into the bathroom to finish brushing my teeth. Once i was sorted and tied my hair up, i walked back out and leaned against the wall. 
"Do you have to run around all day with your top off? It's distracting" I winked. He laughed. 
"You know what... I have no idea why i'd need to take my top off... Not like i have to save people out at sea" He sassed, walking over to me and placing a kiss on the end of my nose. 
"You make it sound like you're saving people from Pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow" He was about to answer when there was a knocking at the door. I turn and open it, revealing Jamei and Connor. 

"Ah good, Harrison! You're here." Jamei pushes me aside and walks into the room. 
"Do come in" I mumbled, Connor was still stood at the door, i motioned for him to come in and he whispered a thanks. 
"I need a favour" Harrison looked at him, then me, i just shrugged. 
"Sure... What will that be?" He knew Jamei, but so did i. And even i had no idea what was in store. Connor leaned against me, throwing his arm across my shoulders. 
"Could you keep an eye of this one today? While we're down at the beach" Jamei pointed to Connor. Who gave Harrison a little wave. 
"By the way, Harrison meet Connor. Jameis boyfriend. Connor, meet Harrison" I introduced the two properly. 
"Levi's boyfriend" Jamei finished. I glared at him while Harrison's face went up like a red light. 
"We've met, briefly" Connor said, him and Harrison nodding to each other. 
"I'm sure we can find something for you to do in the tower" Harrison smiled at the three of us. 
"Well, i'm a surgical assistant back home in the states, so i'm first aid trained" He laughed. 
"That can come in useful" Harrison laughed too.

I love that they're all getting on. 

................................ 

We were down at the beach. Connor was sat in the tower, with the lads. Me and Jamei were getting the last few shots and a few for the promo art and single cover. I'm so glad we're finished. We knew we'd only need to be here for two weeks, but decided to stay for an extra 2 for the holiday. But since we're doing the competition now, thats out the window for training. 

I was following Sam into the changing tent, asking her about time off. 
"Is there any chance we can have a few days off? a week even? We've been none stop about this shoot for weeks, and there was two more before it, now we have a competition?" I pleaded. She looked at me with an unknown gaze. 
"Tell you what. You've got a week. I need to fly over to China for a meeting with a marketing company this week anyway, so you've got a week. Dont get into trouble, keep Jamei out of trouble, and stay safe." I jumped up and down on the spot, 
"You're the best, SAM!" I shouted, hugging her. 
"I know, now go and tell that J he can stop being a pest about it" I let out a loud laugh. I should of known he was trying to get time off. 

I ran outside to tell him, but he was nowhere to be found. I stopped, and sighed. The tower. We were dressed in black unitards this time as the shots didn't require full costume, mainly head shots. I grabbed my bag and made my way up, along the beach. I was half way there when a little pair of arms wrapped around my leg. 

"Oh... hello" I looked down and saw a little girl, no older than 4 or 5, attached to my leg. 
"I've lost my mummy" She spoke, tucking her head into my leg. I grabbed her hands and knelt down to her height, 
What's your name?" I ask. 
"Poppy" Was the response. Lets try and find her mum.
"What is your mummy wearing?" I asked her, she shook her head. Okay... smashing. I picked her up and popped her on my hip. Her little sun hat falling to the side. 

"Shall we go to the lifeguard tower? See if mummy is there?" I asked her, she just nodded, putting her head on my shoulder. Poor kid was boiling hot. 

I walked up to the tower and knocked on the door. Jethro answered and laughed when he saw it was me. 
"Wow Harrison best get those child support checks ready" I kicked him with the side of my foot as i walked in and he just laughed harder. As i walked up the step with this child on my hip, Jamei started laughing hysterically. 
"Wow girl, you work quick" I was going to smack him but Poppy lifted her head up.

"This is Poppy, she's lost her mum" Straight away, Jethro got on the radio and put the word out there was a little girl in the tower who'd lost her mum. 
"Shall we get this meany to move so we can have a seat?" I ask Poppy, making her smile. Jamei gasped and stood up. 
"I am not a meanie" I announced. 
"He's like my brother" Poppy said. As i sat down i asked her if she meant dramatic. "No loud" I could do much for laughing, neither could the others. 

We sat in the tower, ate Jethro's crisps, which we really didn't pinch, we looked out of the binoculars and waited for her mum to show up. Soon enough, Reidy came over the talkie 
"Jethro, mate is that little girl still in the tower" He asked. 
"Yeah mate, she's sat with Levi" He replied. 
"Yeah, got a very distressed mum here. On our way up." I looked at Poppy and told her. 
"Your mummy's on her way." She looked relieved. She began to cry slightly. I hugged her close and her mum came through the door, tears streaming down her face. 
"Poppy, love! Where did you go?" She asked, Poppy wiggled off my lap and run to her mum. "Thank you all for looking after her, Where did you find her?" She asked holding onto her daughter tight. 
"She actually found us. She found Levi" He pointed to me, i waved and gave her a smile. 
"Thank you so much for this, i dont know how to thank you. I was so worried. You lifeguards are amazing" Jethro smiled. 
"Oh i'm not a lifeguard, But i couldnt just walk away and leave her" I said with a smile. "But you're more than welcome to come and visit me whenever you like" Poppy nodded. I think i've just made a new friend. 
"You're not a lifeguard?" Her mother asked. I shook my head. 
"No, but her boyfriend is. He's up the North End by the kids pools" Jethro, that shit. The mother smiled and thanked us again. I clipped the back of his head the second the door shuts. 
"what was that?" I asked, he laughed and replied. 
"Payback, for eating my favourite crisps." What an idiot. However, it's not like it would be a bad thing.
