H&J Lockdown

76

I asked my team about pulling out from my upcoming movie and to say they were not happy with me was a understatement. Arrangements had already been made, contracts already signed so it looked bad. It looked bad for me and in turn I was making my incredible team look bad.

They did agree to talk to them about the situation and see what could be done but so far pulling out of the movie was not a option. They didn't have time to cast someone else along with everything else, it would postpone the movie.

Promo for the 3rd installment of mine and Heros movie series started the next week, which meant our days were filled with interview after interview. They were all done over zoom, most of them with just me, Hero and the reporter assigned to us. Some we were by ourselves. 

The world still didn't know we had a baby and since she is all our lives basically revolve around it was hard not to mention her. Overall all the interviews were the same tiring questions, repeatedly.

Today was no exception and because I was up with a screaming baby for most of the night I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open. Baby J was still not adjusting to being in LA but I understood why.  I was trying everything to keep myself from closing my eyes which wasn't good because we were only on our second interview for the day with five more to go.

I knew Hero was watching me and could tell I was out of it because he took control of the interviews and answered most of the questions. I wanted to text him to thank him but because we were caught texting last year in interviews we both agreed to stay off our phones.

l had my phone on my lap because I was doing my interviews from a couch, so the vibration from a text startled me as I stared off into space while the interview talked.

Seeing the text was from Hero I glare at him through the screen before reading it.

H: Whats wrong?

J: Tired. Your daughter was up all night.

H: She doesn't like it there. She is London girl. Come home.

J: HA HA HA. If only it was that simple.

H: It is....   I like your shirt. I'd like it more on my bedroom floor. 

J: Oh you got jokes?

H: No. But really I'd like to see it unbuttoned more. What bra are you wearing?

J: Are you supposed to be talking dirty to me during a interview?

H: Yes.  

I give Hero a sly smile before subtly starting for the buttons on my white blouse when another text comes in.

H: I was joking. Don't you dare unbutton it more until were on a private call.  

We both are ignoring the interviewer now and I can't help but to tease him and play with the top button on my blouse anyway while looking at him innocently. 

H: Jo

I don't bother to text him back and instead go from playing with my top button to slightly rub the bare skin on my chest.   I try not to make it too obvious but i can tell its getting to him because he starts fidgeting then doodling instead of looking at his screen. 

When the interviewer finishes I notice suddenly I'm not tired anymore and send Hero one I last text.

Jo: facetime me when you get home  tonight to find out what color bra I'm wearing
