Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 100

Josephine

Okay, I admit it.
I'm hot.
I'm terribly hot in this piggy costume.

It's weird because I'm usually super cold and it takes layers upon layers of clothes before I finally feel good!

I drank a few glasses of sparkling wine and danced like crazy with my cast mates and that must have contributed to the feeling of being inside a burning oven!

I take a deep breath as I remove my pink ears from my head, airing myself out with one hand.
The others are enjoying themselves, some on the dance floor and some on the sofas next to me.
It's a great night!

Mobile phones have been banned and as a souvenir of the evening we only have a few photos taken at the beginning, photos in which I made sure I was at the back of the room and not very visible!
I know it will definitely go on the internet and I hate knowing that strangers can stick their noses into my private life.

"Are you tired?" Hero surprises me by sitting down next to me.

His smile warms my heart, I never stop being excited when he approaches me!
I smile reflexively and see him running his tongue over his lips, watching mine.
He would like to kiss me, I can feel it and I sincerely want to do the same.
But we can't.
This secret that we have to keep from time to time is really heavy to bear.
We look at each other for endless moments, without speaking, and at one point I nod, looking at the ground.

"I'm hot!" I sigh.

"You?" He widens his eyes in surprise "Josephine Langford who is hot?!? Did I hear right?!" He visibly teases me and I pat him on the back to make him stop, but without hiding the smile that forms on my face.

"Yeah! It sounds incredible but this dress is like an oven!" I shake my head, trying to reach the zip at the back.
If I could just unzip this costume a little, maybe I could breathe a little!

"Need a hand?" Mischievously smiles my boyfriend.

"Yeah, I think so!" I drop my hand to my side as Hero steps closer, moving my hair over my shoulders.

"Do you want to unzip it? You might as well take it off if you..." He starts to slowly lower the zip but stops almost immediately.
He suddenly holds his breath and I turn to look at him.

"What?"

"Fuck, Jo! You're naked?!?" He looks at me like I've suddenly grown two heads!

I burst out laughing remembering I'm in my underwear.
"No, actually I'm wearing a bra and panties!" I point out, as if that actually changes anything.
Yeah, I'm practically naked!

Hero leans towards the opening of my dress and closes his eyes sighing.
He quickly zips up again, shaking his head.

"I almost had a heart attack!" He runs a hand over his face "And when I think you've been walking around half naked all night I..."

I look at him genuinely amused.
I have an immense costume covering me and it's practically making me sauna, no one will ever notice this small detail!

"You what?" I urge him to continue, curious as to what's on his mind.

"Shall we go back to our room?" He looks at me seriously, he's not joking.

"Now?" I raise my eyebrows in confusion.

"Now!" He emphasises "I need to get you out of this dress immediately!" His breathing is quickened and I can tell he is excited.
His eyes darken and he looks at me intensely.

"Don't you want to stay here and have fun?" I smile, teasing him some more.

"I have another kind of fun in mind!" The dimple in his cheeks amplifies his smile making it even more beautiful.
He takes my hand gently as he stands up.
I squeeze it and stand up next to him.
