The perfect "Thief" || HEROPHINE

4. Not "his girl"

I get home after a run.
I'm really out of breathe. I need to workout more like I used to do before get the job.
I run up the stairs with my  last forces that I have in my body.

I freeze when I get to the 2nd floor.
He is back.
From what he is wearing I can definitely say that he was at a business meeting with some rich ass like Emma likes to call them even if she's a rich ass too.

He's wearing a navy blue suit.
The jacket is on one of the chairs in the living room.
So I can see his upper body wrapped in a white long sleeve, button shirt and his legs wrapped in the navy blue suit pants.

He's never looked better and with this doesn't means that I stare at his butt all the time. Just sometimes, when I get the chance to.

He is standing on the door way to the balcony with his body leaned at left and his legs crossed at the ankle height.
His right hand is in the pocket and the other is holding his phone close to his chest.
By looking his hand I get to notice the big, surely expensive, watch, abs his fresh haircut.

His hair looked better before. I don't get the obsession of these guys to cut their hair so short on the sides when they get a haircut.

"Alright sweet." he says nodding a bit while he's still giving me his back.

How the hell this man is this fine even when he's in a call?

"Babe, are you coming back to London tomorrow night?" A female voice asks abs just now I get to know that he is one of that people that always talks with the speeker on no matter what.
"Yeah I'm coming back tomorrow night." he says abs I don't know why but I freeze.

He is leaving tomorrow.
I feel a sense of emptiness in my chest.
Why the fuck am I feeling like this? He still a stranger to me. I literally still don't know a thing about him except that his name is Hero and he's a Jackson's friend. That's it.
So why the hell am I feeling like this?
Is my inner me waiting for something more?
Then she's a poor fool.
We don't know enough about him to catch feelings for him.

"Mmm, can't wait I've missed you in the past days. I was thinking about a dinner out... maybe at that cute restaurant close to your house?" she asks.
She sounds so dreamy.
"Yeah we can have dinner there but maybe the night later? I'll be so tired after 5 hours of driving." he says taking out the hand from his trousers and running his binders through his hair in circular motions, like he's trying to rubbing away a pain of a headache.
"Mmm." she mumbles not very satisfied of the answer. She really doesn't want to see him the day after of his arrival.
"Alright then I'll book a table, I don't want to have to go to another place that restaurant is literally breathtaking." she says and now I can hear a bit of excitement in her soft voice.
"Yeah the place is absolutely stunning. I had no doubts since I know Jackson since we were in our mothers belly. He has good taste." he says talking about the furniture of the place.

He's right. Jackson has really good taste, that's why he's with Emma. He couldn't pick a better girl.

"Alright than see you soon. Miss you." she says and that miss you sounds more a 'I love you' but I guess she avoided the words because maybe they started dating just now.
"Sweet. I miss you too. Have a good night darling." he says before he hangs up and that darling was a hard one to digest.

That darling sounded so good to me but unfortunately it wasn't directed to the right interested.

I don't get a chance to redeem myself before he turns back and notices me.
I'm lucky that self-consciously I walked till the kitchen sink just to hear better the conversation and be sure that the voice on the other side was a female one.
"Oh hey!" he says once her eyes are locked in mine while I'm acting like I'm taking some water to drink.

I just show him a light smile.

"I didn't heard you coming, you could be a better thief than I am." he giggles making me laugh too.
He is in a really good mood today.
Maybe because he heard his girlfriend voice today.

"I think anyone can be a better thief than you." I say chuckling.
He giggles and when I look up at him after taking a sip from the glass I find him staring at me with a light smile almost softened.

I don't want to ask him but I'm too curious.

"Is your girlfriend okay with you being here with a stranger?" I finally spit out and then I see his eyebrows frown from the corner of my eyes.
"She's not my girl." he says getting so defensive.
From his voice seems that he got something stuck in his throat.
"I'm sorry but I heard everything since the speeker was on and that conversation didn't sounded that you two are just friends, at least for her." I spit all out.
"Then what about your boyfriend? Is he okay with you sleeping under the same roof of stranger?" he asks taking his eyes away from me and waking his hands standing next to me.

Is he for real? I'm not this stupid.
He is basically asking to know if I'm in a relationship or not.

"Are you asking that to know if I have a boyfriend?" I ask.

His jaw clicks. Got you.

"Pfff, why would I want to know that? I just wanted to have a conversation." he asks almost disgusted at the thought of him being attracted and interests in someone like me.
"Alright then I can not answer to that question since you were not that interested of knowing the answer." I tell him not letting him win the conversation.
"Alright then we will spend all the night staring at each other eyes." he says lifting his shoulders and leaning back to the kitchen counter and crossing his arms to his chest.
"If you want to talk let's talk but we don't need to talk about private things, don't you think?" I ask know so well that he wants to know the answer of that question.
"You started it." he says looking at me and then I bite my tongue. He's right.

My phone buzz on the counter. It's a simple notification from Nike training but then I see the time and I remember about my gross condition.
All sweaty and out of breathe.

"I need to take a shower." I tell him and I catch him smirking.

He probably thinking that I'm avoiding his statement.
When I get to pass him and I smell his scent.
Shit this one is a expensive one for sure.

I'm surrounded by rich asses all the time.

"Ah, Hero." I say leaning back to get to see him in the kitchen.
He looks at me curious.
"I'll be going out  so if you go out let the key hided somewhere." I tell him and I see his eyebrows frown.
"With who are you going out? I thought you were here by yourself." he says being so nosy.
"Who is saying that I need someone to go out with?" I ask him kinda annoyed by his statement.
I see him even more perplexed and I see a bit of worry in his eyes.
I let him in his thoughts and I close myself in the bathroom getting ready for a dinner date with me, myself and I.

Who knows, maybe I'll be meeting the one tonight, so finally Emma will stop asking me if I'm lesbian, thing that I wish I could be... man are too complicated. They are all dirtbags.
