Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 60

Josephine

The time difference is destroying me.
I'm sleepy at times when we should be awake and hungry when everyone is asleep.
Yet I should be used to the time difference, especially when I go home to Perth.
It never bothers me much, probably because I rarely sleep on the plane but this time I slept most of the time, snuggled up to Hero.
It almost felt like a dream come true.
We have been here in London for two days and I no longer know whether it is day or night.
I open the curtains in Hero's bedroom and the first rays of the sun can be seen outside.
I haven't slept a single minute! I feel like crap!

"Hey..." Hero turns around in the sheets with his eyes closed. "Come here..."

I close the curtain and sit back down on the bed next to him.
He draws me to him grabbing me by the hips and making me burst out laughing loudly, because I wasn't expecting that!

"Shhh!" He laughs, "You'll wake up Felix! He'll have a stroke!"
I throw myself at him laughing happily.
I'm really happy to be here, despite the dizziness I feel.
I kiss him softly and feel his breathing visibly quicken.
I absolutely love the fact that he sleeps with only his underwear on, he's a joy to behold and snuggling up to him is tremendously exciting!
I, on the other hand, only have his shirt on, apart from my underwear, and I've never felt better!

His house is really nice, simply furnished.
It has two bedrooms and a small kitchen with a living room.
It's really very British and I love it.
Literally!

I assume that Hero stays here very little, despite it being his house, because there aren't many of his things around.
These days we would also have been lucky enough to be completely alone because Felix was out with friends a few days, if it hadn't been for my general malaise!

Last night Felix came back very late so he hasn't seen us so far, he'll have a stroke when he sees that I'm there too.
Surely he will have seen Hero's bags around and he is used to his surprise returns! But I doubt he knows I'm there too.

"Do you want to have breakfast?" I propose.

I'm feeling much better today and I hope I'm at least a little bit over this damn jet-lag.
Hero recovered almost immediately and had to keep me company these days, probably bored out of his mind, though he'll never admit it.

"It's only six o'clock..." he complains, sinking his head on my breast.

"Aren't you hungry?" I laugh amused.

"Now that you mention it..." he speaks into my chest and the sound of his voice echoes muffled.

"Is there anything in the house? Or do I have to go out to buy something?" I ask, stroking his hair.

"I'm not letting you out alone." He raises his head.

"Really?" I burst out laughing "I don't think this is a bad neighbourhood, you know?"

"It's not that, it's that I always want to be with you." he squeezes me tightly "Always!"

Indeed, we have been together all the time these two days and it is a new, but beautiful feeling!
Of course, even during the filming of the movies we shot together, we were together a lot but not like this.
There was always something to do that forced us to split up!

"Don't be silly! I'll go out for a second and come back, okay?" I kiss his hair, smiling.

"Near here there is a coffee shop..." He lifts his head and looks at me still sleepy, his eyes almost closed.

"Perfect! I'll go and be right back!"

He nods and pulls me close to him again.
"In a little while?" He whispers on my neck this time, leaving sweet kisses that send shivers down my spine.
