Josephine

We called an Uber half an hour ago and it still doesn't show on the horizon.

We are outside the club and it is deadly cold! Maybe my dress is still wet and sticky, but I have chills all over!We got away for a few minutes, so Hero could warm me up a bit, but now I'm cold again and I don't know how to do it.

There are too many people around us and the risk of someone recognizing us is high, I can't hug him again, even if I want so much ...If they took pictures of us and ended up online, goodbye privacy!

"What are you thinking about?" It awakens me from my thoughts

"Except I'm freezing?" I smile at him "I would like to hug you but I can't ..."

"Jo, nobody's looking at us ..."

"I know, but I don't want to risk it!"

"Do you want to go back inside while we wait?"

"No, no ... the car will arrive shortly ..." I say hopping and moving my arms in a funny way to try to warm upIn response, he bursts out laughing

"What are you doing?"

"I get warm! Can't you see it?"

He does not answer and continues to laugh with amusement.

I must seem crazy, but I have not found any other solution to the problem.

"What if I hugged you for two minutes?"

"No no ... Okay, I don't want to risk ... Really!"

Hero looks around disconsolately.

He knows I won't listen to him!

"I really don't see anyone here who ..."

"OH MY GOD you are Josephine Langford !!!" Exclaims a girl approaching with her eyes wide with surprise
"I can't believe it! The After actress !!! Oh my God I don't believe it !!! And you ..."She almost collapses to the ground ... "Har ... Hardin? Oh my God !!! I mean Hero ??? Oh my God please can I take a picture with you?"

How did you say Hero?
Don't you know us and nobody sees us?
Right...Luckily we didn't hug a little while ago!

I give him a "I told you!" And he shakes his head smiling

"Sure! Come on, I'll take your picture!" I propose "No wait, I'll call my friends, they can do it! Ehiiiii guys!!!" she waved towards a small group not far awayI hope there aren't a lot of these friends, otherwise we'll spend the rest of the evening taking pictures and I'm freezing!

A group of about ten people arrived, boys and girls more or less our age.

Among them I immediately recognize the boy who poured the drink on me.

Oh perfect !!!

"Will you take a picture of us together? I'm Amy anyway"

"Nice to meet you" I smile and we pose

"Hey Josephine but you're shaking ..." She looks at me questioningly

"I think it's my fault ..." The boy I recognized takes a step forward
"I accidentally spilled the drink on her ... I'm sorry, really! I didn't do it on purpose! I wanted to apologize but he came and you ran away! I didn't have any bad intentions!" He smiles at me

Luckily ... A normal boy then, I misunderstood everything! 

It's better that way!

He takes off his jacket and hands it to me ...
