The Reunion ~ A Herophine Fanfiction

Hero 5

I hear Jo mumble a "Thanks" as the lift comes to a stop and we step out. We're faced with a long never ending corridor on both sides.
"What room are you in Anna?" I ask trying to divert any conversation from my hoodie that is clinging to Jo's body.
"209"
Looking at the sign on the wall in front of us. It seemed at though Anna was at the other end of the corridor to me and Jo.
Anna turns to me and Jo, still smiling as always.
"I think we should all freshen up. Take a nap if you want. Meet back in the lobby in an hour for our spa date?"
"Agreed" I can't wait to see what my rooms like and jump on what I know it's going be to a comfy bed. Jo is nodding and I can see her eyes looking at the room numbers on doors. "It's looks like the rooms are in some weird order." Is all that comes out of her mouth. The lift is in the middle of the corridor. I'm guessing that the other two lifts are somewhere further down.

Me and Jo say a quick goodbye to Anna and make our way down the corridor in the opposite direction to find our rooms. 239. 468. 613. Seriously random. I suspect it's to do with the room specifications.

515

That's my room.

"Hero!" Jo is about 3 rooms down on the opposite outside of a door. "This is mine"
"Okay Jo" I call back to her and take out my key card. With a click I see the green light appear. It was like opening a door to a different world. There were floor to ceiling windows. A large king size bed. A sofa and 2 armchairs by the window. A large tv on a stand. I peak round the door to take a look in the bathroom. The bath is against the far wall, with another floor to ceiling window. It's situated in the crook of the window. The large sink is accompanied with some very fluffy looking white towels. The views from the windows are something else. Considering how are up we are. The view over New York is incredible. The sun is shining and I couldn't think of anything more perfect.

I start to unpack my belongings which have been placed in the small closet room just inside the door, but I don't get very far and only end up unpacking a very small amount. I take out my swimming trunks and grab one of the towels from the bathroom. I'm going to need them for the spa. My outfit for the main party tomorrow needs a press and an iron. I'm sure they will do that sort of service here. Eventually I flop down on the inviting bed. It's so comfortable and cozy feeling. I notice my eyes starting to close as I drift off into sleep.

"Hero!"

Thump Thump

"Hero are you okay?"

Thump Thump

My eyes snap open. Shit I fell asleep. I've no idea what time it is. Looking towards the window. It's definitely still day time. "Hero!" Damn that's Jo.
Opening my door to a stern faced Aussie. "Hero what the hell?" I'm trying not to smile at her because she's hilarious when she's pissed off. "Are you coming to the spa or not?" Clearly I wasn't asleep for as long as I thought.
"Yep let me just grab my shit" I get my trunks and towel from the chair and stuff them in a bag, along with a cap, a spare hoodie, a pair of boxers, pair of socks and some joggers. I need to change out of this outfit because I've probably been in it for over 24 hours now. But that can wait until after the spa. I follow Jo out of my room and down the corridor towards the lift. I spot Anna waiting for us. As always she's smiling.

"You guys ready for the spa?" She asks as we get to her and get in the lift. "I'm so ready for a glass of champagne and a massage!" Jo chines in from beside me. "Jo you know it's only midday right? We've got all night to drink when some of the others get here!" I chuckle.
"It's called vacation Hero!"

We land on the ground floor and step out. Making our way to the spa on the other side of the hotel. We approach the hotel staff member at the desk. I can't help but think he looks a little bored. I'm guessing the only thing he does is sit there all day. We are given some towering robes, a food menu and a list of treatments that the hotel offer. The spa is a lot bigger than I expected. I leave Jo and Anna to change and go into the men's changing rooms. There's no one in there of course. It's warm. I'm guessing there is probably a sauna or something near by and I would like to try it out.

A little while later. I'm in my trunks and robe. My mind wanders to Jo. I wonder what she's wearing. I want to say it's not the first time I've seen her in a bikini or swimming costume. But that was all during filming. This is completely different. Not that it matters what she is wearing.
I step out of the changing room and into the entrance of the spa. It looks to to be all marble interior and it feels just as warm as the changing room. I spot Jo sitting in an arm chair and I walk over. She smiles as I approach and then looks away and into the distance. "Anna's gone to order some food and get a bottle of champagne" Jo says answering the question in my head. "She ordered you a deluxe chicken burger and fries, if that's alright?" I smile. Of course she did. I've taken it upon myself to try the chicken burger if a hotel or whatever the place I'm visiting offers the option. Since there is a place right by my house that sells the best chicken burger in the world, I've yet to find another as good. "Of course, I mean what else would I eat?" Jo laughs and nods. I think I hear a "dunno" behind her laughter.

We are soon joined by Anna and we all take a seat in some armchairs surrounding a small table. She gives us all a champagne flute as we wait for the champagne. I'm not much of a champagne guy, definitely more beer. But as it's an occasion as such, I will make an exception. "Hero how did you like your room?" Anna asks just as the champagne as brought over in an ice bucket. The spa waiter fills our glasses and then leaves. "It was lovely Anna. Honestly you have the best taste in hotels!"
She laughs are we all pick up our glasses. "Cheers to us!" I catch Jo's eye as we "Cheers!" And smile at her. I wouldn't have asked for a better person to be along side me.

After our food arrives, we make conversation and I learn that Anna is taking some time to think about maybe starting a new book. Something different to After of course. The two new films not starting me and Jo are in production as well. As for my rating of my chicken burger, I'd give it a 8.7/10. Given the hotels it's a very good quality chicken burger and I'd have it again definitely.
"Hero, me and Anna are going to the treatment rooms, you can join us or just do what you want!" Jo tells me whilst in transition to standing. Anna is already walking away. "I'm good thanks Jo. I'll just hop into the jacuzzi I think for a bit. But come and find me when your done yeah?" She nods and follows Anna.

I'm slightly confused as to where I'm even going to find this jacuzzi or pool or whatever it is. I wander around until I see something that from a distance resembles a pool. I walk out into a long open room. In an alcove round the corner is the jacuzzi. The lights are a dark blue, making the water look even bluer. I decide on going into the pool first, to do some lengths. It's been a while and it would be good for my fitness. The water is slightly warm and air still feels humid. I smile to myself as I recall Jo earlier in her towelling robe. As she's quite small, the robe was big on her and she had to pull it up to stop herself from falling over. For some reason I've been thinking about her a lot and I'm unsure why. It's probably because I haven't seen her in over a year and we're not doing bay filming together. I got so used to seeing her for the majority of a year. Is it weird to miss someone that much?
