Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 73

Josephine

"You know Andrew and some other guys wanted to ask you for your phone number when we were at the party at Morgz's?" he sighs and a flash of jealousy shines through his gaze.

I just finished the video call with Castille and my mood is definitely better than yesterday.
She sent me the script and asked me to give her an opinion, as I know the characters much better than she does and can give a critical assessment.

I am now on video call with Hero and the day is definitely getting better little by little.

"Ah, that blonde guy with blue eyes?" I smile seeing his impatient face. 

It's funny when he gets jealous!
"No, actually he has black hair..." He snorts.

"Ah okay, maybe I got it... Anyway I know, he really asked for my number!"

He remains silent for a few seconds with his gaze lost in the void.

"Hero, are you there or did the image freeze?"

"What do you mean he asked for your number?" He opens his eyes wide and stands with his mouth open as if in shock.
Exaggerated! It's funny though!

"Yes, him and also that blonde haired guy whose name I can't remember..." I bite my lip to keep from smiling.
I like seeing him jealous and it amuses me terribly even though I'd rather have him here with me to hug and snog him when he makes those wrinkled expressions.

"When did this happen!!!? We've always been together!" He runs a hand over his eyes puffing again.

"When Morgz took me around the house to meet all your friends!" I smile and try not to laugh.

He sighs passing a hand over his face again. He looks almost desperate.

"Are you jealous by any chance?" Now I can't help but laugh.

"Of course I am!!!" He widens his eyes "They're asking for your phone number and what's more while you're with me!!!"

"I wasn't with you, technically...you were on the terrace!" I laugh.

"Jo..." he sighs.

I'm having too much fun!!!
"I don't see the problem, we've only spoken a few times! He's your friend, right?"
Now I'm clearly teasing him, but his reaction is too good!

He freezes again and looks at me with wide eyes.
"What?!?" The image on the phone is unclear now.
He seems to be pacing up and down the room nervously.

"Hey, seriously you think I gave him my number, silly?" I wink at him.

"No?" It's more of a question than an answer.

"Of course I didn't! Why would I? I told him I'm happily engaged!"

He breathes a sigh of relief and a smile returns to his lips.
"I was already thinking of the various ways I could kill Andrew and Michael's other loser!"

"Ah that's right! Michael!" I pretend to remember the other guy's name!
I have no idea what his name actually is! I didn't pay much attention when they introduced themselves, but the expressions Hero makes are too funny!
He gives me a look that makes me burst out laughing again.

"Come on, I'm just teasing you!" I shake my head.

"You're not funny..." He sighs, closing his eyes.

"Why not? I'm laughing so hard!" I smile blowing him a kiss.

"I'm jealous!" He sighs.

"I guessed as much, you know?" I would love to hug him, squeeze him tight and kiss him all day long!
