Chapter 23 - Planning

It had been a few months since the proposal and ever since then, Taylor and Chappo had slowly been planning their wedding. Ever since the accident, Taylor was still without a car. But the boys were planning to change that.
"Alright! I'm coming...I'm coming!" Taylor said groggily as she dragged herself out of bed. Chappo was dead to the world or so he let Taylor think.
"Good morning sunshine!" Whippet grinned widely as Taylor sluggishly opened the front door. Whippet let himself in. Taylor shut the door.
"Sure...come on in" She said jokingly.
"What you doing here Whip? I was sleeping" Taylor wined as she went to make herself some coffee.
"Get dressed...you're both coming with me." Whippet explained as he nudged Taylor out of the kitchen.
"I'll make you coffee don't worry" He reassured her as she went to get ready.
"Chappo – oh you're awake" Taylor said confused as she walked back into the bedroom.
"Yes...come on get ready" He encouraged.
"Really...you're in on this to?" Taylor asked, as she routed through her draws to find something to wear. She went to get washed and dressed before she pulled her hair back into a messy bun.
"You ready?" Whippet asked as she walked back into the main area.
"Yeah...2 secs" she said, slipping on her thongs, before she grabbed her phone and keys.
"Lets go" Chappo said excitedly as Whippet hand Taylor her cup of coffee in a travel mug. Whippet practically pulled Taylor out of the door and to his car as Chappo locked up. Once they were all in the car, Whippet started the short drive to Bondi. When they got there, loads of off duty lifeguards were stood waiting outside. Taylor grabbed her sunglasses off of Chappo and sipped her coffee as they climbed out of the car.
"What's going on?" Taylor suspiciously.
"We have a surprise for you" Hoppo said, casing Taylor to raise an eyebrow.
"Here – open this" Whippet said, handing Taylor a small box as he traded it with her travel mug.
"What is it?" Taylor asked.
"Just open it silly!" Maxi shouted from the back of the pack. Taylor undid the ribbon and opened the box.
"What?" Taylor asked both confused and shocked as a car key was sat in the box.
"Press the unlock button" Chappo instructed. Taylor did as he told her causing the sound of a car to unlock a few paces away from her.
"Are you serious?" Taylor squealed, as she looked up at the brand-new Nissan Qashqai 2017, that was a nice shade of blue.

"You brought me a car?!" Taylor squealed. All the boys nodded their head.
"But...but- how?" Taylor stuttered.
"Well...I payed for most of it but all the boys chipped in" Chappo explained.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Taylor screamed...as she rushed to give Chappo a hug and a kiss. She then went and hugged all the boys.
"Well...go try it out then!" Maxi said excitedly. Taylor smiled and jumped into the drivers seat. She put the key in the ignition and listened as the engine roared to life. She reeved the engine a few times as Chappo climbed into the passenger seat before she drove off down the street.
"This is amazing!" She screamed, as she focused on driving whilst Chappo filmed her reaction. Chappo had a grin on his face. Taylor drove round the block before pulling back up down near the beach.
"Honestly...thank you all soo much!" Taylor gushed, as she didn't even know how to express how she was really feeling.
"Just don't total this one yeah?" Hoppo laughed.
"Haha...very funny" Taylor joked.
"Anyways...drive safe and enjoy" Hoppo said. Everyone agreed before they started to scatter.
"I love you" Taylor said, wrapping her arms around Chappo's waist.
"I love you too" Chappo said, kissing the top of Taylor's head.
"How about we head home...grab our boards and wetsuits and do some surfing?" Chappo suggested.
"I like that idea" Taylor said – excited that she gets to drive her car again. The pair climbed back into Taylor's car and started the short drive back to their apartment. They changed into their swimsuits and grabbed their wetsuit tops before they grabbed their surfboards.
"I also go you this..." Chappo laughed, as he grabbed something that was right down by the front door.
"It's a padded wipeable blanket that you can put down when you put surfboards either on or on top of your car" Chappo explained.
"Thanks" Taylor chuckled. They walked outside and put the seat in the car down, so they could put their surfboards in the back.
"Let's go surfing!" Taylor cheered as they climbed back into her car. Ironically, as they turned the radio on,  Let's Go Surfing by The Drums started playing causing their couple to laugh.

20 minutes later they were sat waxing their boards down by the tower. Once they finished, they walk down the beach hand in hand before they dived into the water.
"Race ya!" Taylor called, as she paddled as hard and fast as she could out to the back. Chappo smiled and paddled out as well. They both cheered each other on as they caught wave after wave.
"How did I get so lucky?" Chappo asked, as they sat next to each other on their boards in the water, holding hands.
"I got lucky too" Taylor grinned as she leant in to give him a kiss. Instead she shoved him off his board causing him to splash into the water. As he resurfaced and climbed back onto his board, Taylor paddled and caught the wave.
"You're dead!" Chappo shouted jokingly. Little did she know she had just started war. The couple spent the rest of the afternoon surfing before they headed home to crash out on the sofa eating takeaway pizza whilst they binged watched old episodes of Hawaii Five-0, one of Taylor's favourite TV shows.
