Jai Shri Krishna,
I am not sure if this is the story you are looking for, but here is the summary of it. In some places i have added comments for clarification, in brackets), so please excuse my misunderstandings.
Once in jatipura (Giriraj ji)at the sundar shila - Mukharvind while Shri Mahaprabhuji was resting in damla's(Damodardas Harsani's) lap, Shri Krishna (Shrinathji) came down from goverdhan parvath. Damla forbid (asked the lord to halt) the lord to approch for the fear that (the) noise of (from Thakorji's) ghungaroo's (anklets)... might awake the beloved Guru (Mahaprabhuji). The Lord obeying damala's command, stood afar and waited for shri mahaprabhuji to arise. When Shri Mahaprabhuji awoke he saw The Lord standing a short distance away !! he asked the Lord, "why he had not come"; the lord replied " Damla stopped me from doing so"; hearing this, Shri Mahaprabhuji started to reprimand damla for his seemingly unjust action, but Damla replied and asked Shri mahaprabhuji din (Donee) is bigger or diti (Donner) is bigger.?"
The Lord interrupted saying, "Don't be angry with Damala, he is only keeping his dharma as Your servant, and for him to have acted like this is certainly justified." Shri mahaprabhuji then took the lord in His lap with full of affection.
Here is a link that might be of further interest

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
By shrigurucharan-shrivallabh's krupa-kaani, i m trying to put some glimpses of the vaarta prasang of damodardas harsaniji
Damodardasji was the sakhi of ShriLalitaji and by gyati, Kshatriya and lived in the village of Vardha
There r famous prasangs like Once ShriMahaprabhuji was travelling through the vardha-nagar and damodardasji saw Shrimahaprabhuji, he jumped from the window and went behind shrimahaprabhuji, and from that day, till end, he never came back to his own house. Shrimahaprabhuji used to call damodardasji as Damla.
Moreover shriaacharyaji once were in tension thinking of the jeevs, to take sharan, but all were full of dosh. So worried. Shrithakurji did pragatya saakshaat and gave aagyna of giving brahmasambandh mantra diksha to jeevs, who r daivi. After shrithakurji dispersed, Shrimahaprabhuji asked damla, that damla tene kachu suniyo. Then damla with curtsey replied " raaj, suniyo to sahi pari samjiyo naahi." This famous quote implies us that without shrigurucharan, nothing is possible to understand the brahma-bodh. The prasang of this night has been described by shrimahaprabhuji in the Siddhant- Rahashya granth.
Jai Jai ShriGokulesh Parivaar, Baroda

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Moreover Damodardasji never did the Swaroop seva-shrithakurji's seva, but always served shrimahaprabhuji as both shrithakurji-shrigurudev-and all above both the same swabhaav shripurushottam-shrimahaparabhuji. Always been enjoying leela-ras and enhanced the prakaar of Manasi seva "Manasi sa para mata.."

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Once the Shradhha of father of Damodardas Harsaniji came And shriGusaiji did the Shradhh. But ShriGusaiji asked for the YajmanVrutti (dakshina), then Damodardasji said the one and half sloka of Siddhant Rahashya. ShriGusaiji gave aagyna that why only 1 and half sloka, to this damodardasji answered " raaj, maine to keval itne ko hi sankalp kiyo hato".
