The only Kiwi I'm not allergic to.

50

Time flies when you are in great company. My mom and Aunt Luna stayed with us for a while until Aunt Luna left for Perth and my mom went back to Canada for a few weeks. We all are much better. I had a dream about JJ, where he told me he was okay and I shouldn't feel guilty anymore. He assured me that he was happy where he is, that he is safe. He made me promise not to be sad anymore.

I do miss him but I also feel free. The police informed me that they caught a few of Mike's people. Although they haven't given up his whereabouts, I still feel safer already.

Today marks the third week since JJ has passed. I've gone back to work ever since my mom left, and it's been going amazingly. All the boys are so understanding, and Jules is on another level! She stayed with me every night as soon as she got back to Sydney and we've become even closer than before.

Jules has done everything in her power to make me laugh, to make me happy.

I was in the tower taking a break from my shift at north Bondi when Harrison walked in, his shirt was thrown over his shoulder and his hair was a mess. "Hey babe?" he said from the door frame.

"Yea?" I replied as I stuffed my face with the chocolates Jules brought to work.

"Are you on your break?"

"Yes! You?"

"Yea...urm can I talk to you?" he said a little awkwardly looking around the tower. Of course Maxi, Mario and Jessie were sitting there "working" / listening to what he wanted to say, so he added "Privately!" staring at Maxi who was looking at us now.

He led me outside the tower to the bench we had.

"So... are you feeling better ?"

"Yes! You know I do since you check on me every minute of the day!" I replied with a laugh.

He looked uneasy. "Harrison? What's wrong babe?"

"Nothing... I just did something... without making sure you were okay!"

"What did you do?" I dragged the word 'do'.

"So you know how I told you my parents really want to meet you?"

"Yea" I smiled.

"I booked tickets. We are flying to New Zealand in three days. I already talked to Hoppo and he gave us the week off. I thought you could use the trip to distract you"

"Really? Oh babe!! Oh thank you! Ahh I love you so much!" I said and jumped in his arms.

Two days later we were dropped off at the airport by Maxi and were ready to go on our first trip together. To say that I was excited to meet his parents was the least. I was excited and nervous and I guess Harrison noticed it.

"You'll be fine! They will LOVE you! Stop stressing!" he said, holding my hand and bringing it to his lips, he softly planted a light kiss on my hand and looked at me as we sat in the busy airport waiting for our flight.

Soon our plane was called and we were in the long line of people waiting to get on the plane. Harrison held my hand as he pulled our shared carry on behind him with his other hand. He looked down at me and smiled. "Babe!! Stop worrying!" he said with a laugh.

"Okay!!! I can't help it!" I replied with a shy giggle holding his hand tighter.

"I'm sure they will love you! I mean you've talked to my mom before and I kinda told them all about you! So...." he said with a big smile as he brought my hand to his lips and planted a small kiss on the back of my hand.

After checking in with our boarding passes we walked inside the plane, soon we found our seats 26 A and B. we got settled.

I've never been that comfortable with flights, especially the takeoff, even though I've been flying all my life I've never gotten used to the feeling of it. Feeling the stress build up in the pit of my stomach I placed my head on Harrison's shoulder and closed my eyes. He looked away from the screen in front of him and planted a small kiss on my head. "Still stressed?" He asked.
