does she love me?

Chapter 23

Josephine
"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask. She barges her way inside and plonks her bag down.
"Josephine, I have not brought you up to hang up the phone to me like that. And, to get knocked up by some English guy who is your co-star!" She half shouts.
This makes my blood boil. "What the fuck? He is my boyfriend. And also, you were annoying me so thats why i hung up the phone. I am free to do whatever i want!"
"Josephine. You are to young for all of... this! Having a baby? What the hell!"
"Mom, this literally has nothing to do with you."
"It does. This is my grandchild I am speaking about. Don't be so rude!"
"I will be rude, because your rude to me. What is wrong with you?"
"Josephine, I cannot believe you. In a few days, you are going to come home and stay with us. None of this silly co-star, boyfriend business."
"No."
"What?!"
"I said no! I am staying with Hero whether you like it or not."
"Josephine, as your mother you should listen to me!"
"Absolutely not! When have you ever done anything to help me? You haven't. So just leave."
"Josephine-" Before she can finish, Hero walks in.
"Is everything okay?" He asks, staring at my mum.
"Yes, it is." I say and stand next to him.
"And who is this?" My mom asks.
"Hero." I reply plainly.
"Oh, Hero. The boy who knocked you up."
"Who the fuck are you? And I happen to love her so don't start shit with me."
"Josephine, your boyfriend has terrible manners."
"Shut up, mom."
"Mum?!" Hero says in shock.
"Yes, mom." My mum replies to him with a sarcastic smile on her face. Hero walks over and pulls me into a hug. I nuzzle my head into his chest and begin to cry.
"You have done this to her." Hero says plainly, softly stroking my hair.
"No I did not, you did! If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be having this argument right now."
"Be quiet she is already stressed out enough." I begin to really sob now.
"Shhh, baby its okay." Hero whispers in my ear and kisses me on my head. I love how he just called me baby.
"Just leave us alone will you." Hero begins to raise his voice.
I lift my head up slightly so i look into his eyes. "Please don't shout." I beg. He pushes my head back onto his chest and lowers his voice.
"Why are you even here? You live in Australia." Hero asks.
"Because I needed to talk to Jo about all of this pregnancy business she has going on."
"It has nothing to do with you. All you care about is Katherine, for fuck sake."
"No we don't."
"Yes you do, Jo told me herself."
"Well, we love them and care for them equally."
"When was the last time you called Jo, before last night."
"Well, I don't know. She hasn't called me either."
"Mum I have left you at least 100 messages, shut the fuck up." I say, wiping my eyes.
"Well, Hero you need to leave my daughter. She would have never spoken to me like this before she met you."
"Well maybe she is tired of your shit." Hero states, plainly.
"I am. So theres the door." I say looking at the door and then back to her. I entwine my fingers with Hero's
"Fine. You too have a lovely time together." She leaves.
"Thank you." I say.
"Its okay, Jo. I love you."
"I love you." I reply and kiss him. The kiss starts off slowly and then becomes harder. Hero slips his tongue into my mouth and I do the same for him. I move my hands up to his hair and grab it, pulling it slightly. A moan escapes his lips but i swallow it. He pulls away and takes my hand and drags me to the couch. I lay ontop of him and my lips are molded to his again. He lifts my shirt over my head. And i whimper at the loss of contact. He reattaches his lips to mine and then trails them down my neck. He gently sucks underneath my ear and i moan his name.
He unhooks my bra and tosses it on the floor and then starts to unbutton his jeans. I pull them down his legs for him and he tosses them onto the floor next to my bra.
He starts trailing sloppy kisses all over my chest and neck. I remove my underwear.
"Can i... um... fuck you?" He says as politely as he can.
"Yeah, go ahead." I say. I lift my hips slightly off the couch and he brushes himself across me. He thrusts into me and we both gasp.
He moves slowly at first but then begins to speed up. "Hero." I moan.
"Fuck... I love you." He says. And then carries on kissing me, swallowing all of my moans.
After a few minutes, he says, "I'm almost..." And then fills me.
We both lay there breathlessly and stare at the ceiling. He looks over at me and smiles. I make eye contact with him, "What?" I ask, wanting to know what is going through his head.
"Nothing. Your just so beautiful." He says softly.
"So are you." He begins to blush.
"Right, its only 1:40. So that means we still have the whole afternoon ahead of us. Anything you want to do?"
"Not in particular." I say picking my clothes up off of the floor.
"I have a few ideas."

***
Hero ends up taking us both roller skating, which I am extremely bad at. He claims he was a pro at it, but really, not so much.
I grab his hand when i almost fall over. "Are you even aloud to do this while pregnant?" I say, laughing.
"I don't know. Oh well, I'll catch you if you fall, love."  We both giggle.
"Hero, I can't do this." I laugh.
"Give me your hand." He says, a smile painted on his face. I hold my hand out for him and he takes it. I grab the railing and steady myself.
"Shit!" Hero shouts. And almost falls over. All the little kids around him start giggling. "Relax guys, I only said the S word." I start to laugh.
After a whole hour of me and Hero trying to figure out what to do, we go and grab something to eat.
"McDonalds." He says as soon as we get in the uber.
"So, I have been thinking about what to do after, you know... we, um, go home. And i think.." He lets out a deep breath. "We should move in together?" The uber driver raises his eyebrows, but actually i was thinking the same as Hero so I'm not to shocked.
"Yes. I was actually thinking the same thing." I say, smiling.
He lets out a deep breath. "Really?" He sounds exited.
"Yes of course. I mean we are having this baby together and i certainly don't want to live with my mum any longer. So yeah, sure."
"I love you, Jo."
"I love you." I say back
