Want A Drink

Josephine's POV:

The next day Anna texted me asking if I wanted to go to the mall with her which I agreed to. But now, I'm regretting my decision. I'd rather be sleeping, or at least trying to sleep since I didn't last night. I swore I stayed up the whole night replaying everything that happened last night in my head. I mean can you blame me? Our date was perfect, that kiss was perfect, Hero is perfect. I don't regret staying up late but I can already feel the bags under my eyes. Let's hope Hero doesn't see me like this.

Quickly I begin to get ready for the day by throwing on a pair of black jeans, a white shirt that you have to tie in the middle, and a pair of white sneakers. Leaving my hair natural, I grab everything I need before rushing downstairs to meet Anna.

Seeing her standing in the middle of the lobby, I run up to her as she turns around pulling me into a hug.

"Morning Jo."

"Morning Anna."

"Ready to go to the mall and look at some Tessa inspired clothing."

"Of course I am, let's go."

Turning towards the entrance, I trail a little, bit behind Anna having a feeling that she's going to question me about something or try to lure what's happening with Hero and I out of me. But the thing is I don't even know what's going on between Hero and I. I mean sure I'd love to date him and my promise is long gone but the only thing stopping me is the future. What if things don't work out for us and it ruins the movie? Ugh, I can't think about this right now.

"Jo, you coming?" Anna says which breaks me out of my thoughts.

"Yep." I say quickly, walking to the car and hopping in.

The ride to the mall was quiet for a good five minutes before Anna turns towards me with a stern look on her face.

Shit, here we go.

"You enjoying it in Atlanta so far?"

"Um yeah, it's a lovely place." What the fuck. Please don't try to make small talk and then throw me the big question.

"Alright, I was gonna try to start a conversation before I asked you what I've been waiting to ask but with the look on your face I can tell you don't wanna that."

"Yeah." I let out a breathable laugh.

"You know you can tell me about what's going on between you and Hero, right."

"But that's the thing, I don't know what's going on between us."

"Talk to me about it."

"I really like him, obviously, I don't think it's hard to tell that I like him. Before I even met him I made a promise to myself to never date a co-star but that soon flew out the window. When I first saw Hero I was attracted to him and wanted to get to know him better. Now that we hang out every single day those feelings I have keep getting stronger and stronger. I wanna give the two of us a go but I'm just scared that if things don't work out we'll ruin the movie."

"The connection you two have is what people wish they could have, it's unbelievable. It's like you guys fell in love at first sight. You shouldn't worry about what will happen in the future, just worry about now. But I will say that if the two of you do decide to date, things will definitely work out."

"You really think we'll be okay?"

"No, I can tell. I mean you wouldn't let some stranger give you a hickey on your neck would you?"

"WHAT?!"

"I'm kidding Jo." She laughed.

"Oh." I join in on the laughing.
