After After...

Josephine

I will admit i'm feeling a little upset that mine and Hero's After journey has come to an end, I mean why would I not be feeling down? He's the one who makes me a better actress, he makes me more confident and I know he doesn't know it but he brings out a side of me I never knew I had until I met him. He doesn't show that I do the same for him but I have a little bit of hope that deep down I do.

This tall, handsome man makes me want to be better, for myself and for him.

God why do I have to be so deeply interested in someone who I know ill never have a chance with? We could never be together could we? Our friendship is so good and I wouldn't want anything to come between that, I would be nice to explore the options here though. I need to stop thinking like this, I make up little scenario's in my head that in some world me and Hero could be together.

'Enough of this nonsense Josephine, you have less than an hour before you have to meet Hero and help him get ready for the dinner' My mind always trails off to situations it knows will never happen. I've done too much thinking and not enough getting ready and I think it's time I make a start.

The water in the shower isn't hot enough so I turn up the heat a little just so its burning me ever so slightly. I know that tonight I need to make an impression as its the first time in a very long time that I get to wear an outfit that I like and not something that Tessa likes.

After I get out from the shower I walk over to the bed and check my messages, Hero's name flashes up...

"See you in 30 mins ;)" Shit! How was I in the shower for so long? It only felt like 5 minutes of me washing myself, and shaving. Okay and performing to a pretend audience at my shower concert.

I grab my makeup bag and begin to apply minimal makeup, my skins pretty clear so i skip the foundation step and decide to fill in my eye brows a little and put on some mascara. My hairs next so I think i'm just going to curl the ends and put it into a low pony tail. Nothing but but i have no time to style it.

My dress is hung up in the hotel wardrobe waiting for me to put it on. I struggle to get it over my hips but i'm not complaining, I like my hips, I think they're nice. With a few squirts of perfume i think i'm finally ready to go to Hero's room, I check my phone to see if I have any new messages and surely enough I do not.

Before I leave I take one quick look in the full length mirror just to see how I look because I realise I haven't done that yet and to my surprise i look good, really good in fact.

"Wow Josephine, you look hot. Ew no don't say that to your reflection, that's so weird."

I walk out of the hotel room and make my way down to Hero's room, its only a few doors along the hall so not far. once i'm at his door a blanket of nervousness takes over my body.

"Suck it up Jo, he's just a boy."

With a few knocks at the door i'm greeted with the smiley face of Hero Fiennes Tiffin.
