The only Kiwi I'm not allergic to.

We walked towards the restaurant and Harrison asked for a table for two. The waiter told us to follow her. As we walked towards our table out on the patio I looked around the place. It was an absolutely cute place. It faced the ocean, there was a patio space with cute little tables and colorful umbrellas. On the walls, there was paintings, photos and Mexican masks. I immediately fell in love with this place. We sat at our table and the waiter passed us the meninges and soon after she was gone. 

"so ... is it up to your standards?" he asked me. I sent a mischievous smile his way looking through my lashes as I opened the menu and replied " well... It all depends on the food but so far... I'd say I'll be here everyday." I relied with a wide smile.

He started to laugh "ok... i'm honestly sure you'll love it!" I just looked at him and smiled and looked through the long list of food i could choose from. I decided to go with a chicken fajita, I closed the menu booklet and placed it back on the table and just stared out at the ocean.

I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about everything, was I really here? In Australia, working at Bondi, sat at a table with the guy I watched on TV and thought was cute? Can it be just a dream? I hope not. I'm just so happy and blessed to be here, far from the problems back home, far from him.

I was pulled out of my thoughts, by calls of my name and a waving hand in front of me. I blinked a few times and looked at him.

 "Are you OK?" He asked. 

"yea yea sorry just got lost in my thoughts that's all." he looked at me unconvinced. "Harrison... I'm OK. Seriously . Don't worry. Besides, I have you and my whole army right?" I said with a smile. 

" So you aren't OK... but yea you definitely have us." he said winking at me.  I took a deep breath in and smiled at him. 

"so ... you excited for your first day at work tomorrow?" He asked as he brought his glass of water up to his lips. 

"excited? Can you not see my wings??? I'm holding myself down otherwise I would be flying around, dancing around and definitely embarrassing myself." I said laughing. He started laughing.

The waiter came around cutting our laughter short. We both ordered our food and started talking about the most stupid things, about our childhood, how he learned surfing and how I never learned. In conclusion we got to know each other better. He is a lot sweeter than I thought, obviously very very cute and definitely was born with a surfboard.

Our food eventually came and we started eating. I was shocked how good this food was. And with one look Harrison knew. "Hahaha I knew you would like it. I guess you're not gonna drown me now." he said laughing so loud. 

"I guess you win this time. Yea this food is tooo good" I said stuffing my face with more food. He smiled at me, "I'm happy you liked it." 

"Thanks for bringing me here Harrison, and for everything really."

 "No problem, I honestly like you and would like us to become friends, I think you're fun to hang with." I smiled at him and said, "yea me too, I mean we are neighbors so why not be best friends too" 

After a few more minutes of talking and eating we finally were done and ready to go pay and leave. I reached for my purse to take my wallet out but Harrison stopped me "woh woh woh... What are you doing? You're my guest today. It's my shout." 

"I can't let you do that." 

"Why not? Come on... let me. I want to do this." 

"Thank you. It's really kind of you... next time it's on me." he started laughing 

"of course it is. Don't worry, you said you like to bake, so i'm gonna make you bake me cakes everyday" he said sending a wink my way. 

"okay ." I replied laughing.

He got up laughing and went to pay. I just sat there smiling to myself. I felt a little tingle in my heart making me want to take a deep breath in. I kept my eyes on the ocean, the large waves crashing on the rocks at the bottom of the balcony we had our lunch in. My life is getting better. I miss my parents and friends like crazy though, but it's okay. I'm here, just got my dream job and made a lot of friends in only two days. I'm happy... I just hope it lasts. Hope was the only thing I had left when I sat on that plane two days ago.
