thirty-five: the book

♫-All These Years by Camila Cabello

꧁ Josephine's POV ꧂

Selena follows me since the very second that I get into the building.
She even does the stairs with me and on the way to our offices I tell her what happened last night with Hero.

I sigh when I finally sit on the chair.
My feet are already hurting and I'm literally pissed at muse for choosing to wear heels today.

"Jo are you sure that you're not just jealous?" she asks curling her lips and leaning her back to my desk.
My mouth opens a and my forehead frowns.
"What question is that?" I ask kinda offended.
"I'm not jealous... jealous of Scarlett? Never, I'm so damn proud of what I am." I tell her with a very firm voice tone.
"I wasn't talking about her. I was talking about Hero. Listen it's normal to get jealous over an ex even for someone that is married." she says giving a sip to her Starbucks iced coffee.
"We all want to see our exes doing bad." she admits but this isn't my case.
I really want to see him doing well because... he deserves it.

"So maybe the fact that he was taking her part and trying to comfort her really broke your nerves." she says.

Is she right? I was jealous of his attentions towards her?
Surely he didn't have me that type of attentions in the last part of our relationship...

"Listen..."she says sliding a bit closer to me.
"Don't repress your feelings. It's okay to still feeling something, I mean it was your first real love, right?" she asks while I'm literally lost in her eyes. Eyes that are framed with a very precise eyeliner.
I nod.
"And like everybody says: the first love it's unforgettable and you're hearing this from a person that dated so many guys but then she went back to her first love, married him and now living happily with some fights, as it should and with two amazing daughters." she says moving a my lock of hair to the back of my ear in a very mom way.

Sometimes I tend to not remember about the many messy moments of her relationship with Justin that she told me.

"It's also okay if you're feeling something for both of them... it's completely normal, just take your time and than take your time." Selena says showing me a comprehensive smile.

I don't know what to say.
I don't know what I'm feeling too.
She seems to know what's going on inside of me better than I am.

I stand up and the only thing that I do is hugging her.
"Thank you so much Sel." I whispery to her placing my chin on her shoulder and closing my eyes.
"You always say the right thing and you are an amazing friend and a extraordinary mom." I tell her.
"Aw, stop it or you will make me cry." she says giggling.
I lean back to look at white and well lined smile.
"See you at lunch?" she asks and I nod.

There are just two more chapters to write, more precisely the scene where we broke up on our white couch that now has some tea stains.

I take a deep breathe, Jo you can do it, c'mon just two more and then you can give it to Christian, I tell myself.

I really question myself how people will react to the sequel.
Did will get so heartbroken that will stop reading it or they will go through it like I did?
Who they will blame about the breakup?
Do they will hate me? I mean, hate Bella for that? Or they will understand her and her feelings?

But the real big question is what am I going to to after finishing the second book?
I have to write a 3rd one.
I don't like sad endings especially in romance stories.
So I'll write one even maxing up some things and making it end well but I will write about the accident and the memory loss gibing people some clauses about Wyatt's real identity without asking Hero since he really doesn't know anything about my book?
