Bondi Boys In Blue | Bondi Love Story

21

I rolled over, expecting to feel the warmth of Harrison. But there was nothing. I tried to open my eyes but i couldn't. There was nothing but darkness as i reached out in front of me, nothing. Cold air. 
"Levi" There was that voice again. The voice from my other dreams. It was closer this time. So much closer than before. 
"Hello?" I shouted "Is anybody there?" I clawed desperately at my face to open my eyes. Eventually they opened and there was a blinding light shining straight in my face. Almost like a flashlight, right up close to my eyes. It look a few seconds for my eyes to adjust, when they did i wish they hadn't. I was stood on a stage, lights bearing down on my body.
"LEVI" There was more than one voice there now. It sounded like hundreds. 
I couldn't see the crowd, just blank shadows that moved in odd ways. I covered my eyes in a bid to see the faces of the people who are watching me. 

I shot up out of bed, sitting up straight and breathing deeply, as if i'd been holding my breathe. Running my hand through my hair i pulled my knees up and rested my arms on them with my head in my hands. Taking deep breaths in and out. I didn't even realise Harrison was sat up with me, his arm around me. My ears were ringing, i could see his lips moving but i couldn't hear him. I shook my head and covered my face with my hands.

Harrison

I was stirred from my sleep by Levi next to me, shivering. I pulled her into my, only to realise she wasn't shivering, she was shaking. Like she was having a panic attack. I've seen them many times before on the beach. I tried to wake her up, shaking her shoulder slightly and calling out her name. 
"Levi" I called. She jerked her arm from it's place by her side to cover her face. I need to wake her up. 
Suddenly she shot up, sitting upright. Her face going blue, when she started heaving breaths in like she'd been stuck under water. 
"Levi, breathe. C'mon babe breathe" I tried to talk to her rubbing her back. She didn't move, her legs came up, her arms resting on her knees and she covered her ears and her face with her hands. 
"Levi... Look at me" I gently put my hand on her face and turned it to me, making her look at me.

Levi

"Levi... Look at me" I felt a hand on my face. Harrison was turning my face to face him. I looked at him, and he looked concerned. 
"I'm okay" I said between deep breaths "Just a bad dream" I shook my head, trying to rid myself of the bad feelings that followed these dreams. 
"What was it?" He asked, his hand still on my face, resting on my jaw. I turned my head into his hand and put mine on top of his. 
"I's hard to explain. It was just a bad dream" I spoke, hoping he'd drop the situation i explained "I've had them since i was a kid. Every so often" He leaned his body across and kissed my lips softly, feather light. A rattle on the door split us apart, Harrison grabbed his shorts from the floor and slid them on, giving me one more kiss before he went to open the door. 

He opened the door and in burst Jamei. Giving Harrison a small pat on the face as he pushed past him.
"What's wrong?" He asked, climbing on the bed and hugging me. 
"Just another dream" I said, hugging him back. "I'm okay, Harrison was here" I pulled away from the hug. 
"Oh, we know Harrison was here." He wiggles his eyebrows and gives a little grin. Harrison had shut the door and walked back into the room, Jamei motioned for him to sit on the bed, he climbed back under the cover next to me as Jamei sat in front of me. 
"You need to look after this one" Jamei motioned to me, speaking to Harrison. In response to this Harrison pulled me into him smiling at Jamei, 
"I will." He kisses the side of my head. I just let myself become wrapped in Harrison's warm body. "What you guys doing today?" He asked Jamei "I'm at work later on." 
"Im going to go into Sydney if you want to come?" Jamei asked me. I shook my head. I didn't feel like trailing around Sydney. 
"I'm probably just going to spend the day to myself." I spoke, not really feeling like dealing with hoards of people tonight. 
"You sure? You're more than welcome to join us?" Jamei offered "That lazy lump is next door asleep, so you've got plenty of time before he gets ready" That made me laugh. Harrison squeezing my side as he too let out a chuckle. 

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

It was 11am, Harrison had left not long ago to go and get stuff from his apartment. Jamei and Connor took the car and dropped him off on their way. I sat on the hotel bed, looking at the state of the hotel room. I put on some music and began tidying it up, folding clothes, sorting them into clean and dirty, organising my stuff on the shelves and in the closet. I was about to walk into the bathroom with my shampoo when i heard a knock on the door. Housekeeping? No... they dont come until after 2. 

I threw the bottle in the sink and walked to the door, peeping through the peep-hole. To my surprise it was Jules? I opened the door and i was greeted with a smile. 
"Hey!" I greeted, she held up a bag. 
"I brought face masks, food and an Australian Netflix password" I laughed at her. I didn't really know Jules that well, just passing while she was at the tower, making jokes and passing banter and comments. I was confused as to why she was here... 
"Come in! I was just tidying up, I'm sorry i look a mess, i wasn't expecting company" I explain as she sets the bag down on the side desk. 
"I know, Harrison was worried about you. So i thought maybe you'd like a female friend to gossip with" I couldn't help but smile. 

We sat in the hotel room, applied face masks, ate the crisps and sweeties Jules brought, put Netflix on the big TV and began watching Baywatch. I was giggling at her commentating the life guarding, 
"There is NO WAY you could pull off a rescue like that! That jump is totally CGI. Imagine diving off the rocks at south end with a floaty like that?! C'mon!" I had pains laughing. 
"It's a good thing it's just a movie" I laughed, she started laughing too, seeing tears streaming down my face. 
"I could imagine Maxi dressing like a woman in some stupid disguised attempt to get something for free" She said, and that set me off again. I've never laughed like this for ages. The thought of Maxi dressing up like Zac Efron did in the film sent both of us into fits of giggles. 
"Jesus, Jules. You're going to kill me here" I tried breathing, holding my cheeks to calm down. My cheeks were burning from laughing too much. 
"Death by laughter is much more pleasant than any other way" She quipped. We'd eventually calmed down, the film was finished and we were looking for something else to watch. 
"Hows about we wash this crap off our faces and see about getting some food?"  She offered. I didn't even get a chance to answer before my stomach grumbled, the loudest grumble i've heard in my life. We looked at each other, and burst into fits of giggles again.
