The 20 Year Old Virgin | Herophine

Chapter 24: Procrastination

Jo

Should I book it?

Should I not?

Is it too soon? It's too soon, right? We just became official like less than 48hrs ago and here I am, browsing through the different airline companies' websites for round trip tickets to London. What the hell is wrong with me? Hero is going to freak the fuck out.

Uhm, no he won't. He loves you.

Yeah, he's said that over a thousand times already. But crossing an entire ocean and flying to his country this early in our relationship is just madness. Total madness!

"What are looking at there, love?" Hero plops down on the bed beside me, hugging me by the waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. I jump in surprise and quickly shut my laptop closed.

Fucking timing!

"N-nothing... was looking for... f-flights to Perth," I stutter, wincing at how unconvincing I sound even to my own ears. Clearing my throat, I add, "I was thinking of going home after we wrap here."

Great fucking job Jo. Less than two days in your relationship and you're already lying your ass off.

"Really? I thought you were just staying at LA until before Christmas?" He looks quite surprised by what I said.

"Yeah, I changed my mind about it," I lie, moving to put my laptop away. How I'm gonna do this has now become an impossibility. Hero's always been right beside me around everywhere, even taking showers with me. I won't be able to book a flight while we're still here in Atlanta.

"Let me see, I want to know when you're planning to fly out to Australia." Just as I'm about to hop off the bed, he grabs my laptop and opens it up. I sit there, frozen as my screen lights up and I watch his face change from looking confused to a huge ass grin. "Perth, eh? Then why does it look like you're trying to get a flight to Heathrow?" His green eyes stare at me, sparkling with amusement and excitement.

"I... I..." Fuck! I can't think of any comeback to that.

"You're planning to visit me in London after we wrap, aren't you, love?" His tones is teasing yet hopeful and my anxiety slowly lifts off from my body.

"Yes," I breathe in resignation. "You must think I'm too much, right?" I ask, my tone full of uncertainty.

"No, definitely not. I'm incredibly ecstatic right now knowing you want to come with me to my side of the Earth. But..." he trails off, casting his eyes down to the screen.

Fuck, there it is. There's the but. I knew I was being foolish with this stupid idea.

"You might want to put that on hold babe because I already booked my flight to LA right after we wrap. If it's okay with you, though, that I stay at your place for two weeks before I head home to London?"

What?

"You did what?" I ask stupidly. I couldn't have heard him right, could I? I think I heard him say he's going to stay with me in LA for two whole weeks after we wrap this movie.

"I'm going to LA with you and staying with you for two weeks, if it's alright with you babe," he repeats, confirming that I wasn't just hallucinating.

"Really?" I couldn't help the excitement coursing through my entire being right now. The thought of spending another two weeks together with Hero is nothing short of amazing. I already know how much I'm gonna miss him once our time together is up and we have to wait for whatever opportunity comes for us to see each other again.

"One hundred percent," he beams before kissing my neck, just below my lobe.

"Best fucking boyfriend ever," I shriek like a little pubescent girl seeing Harry Styles for the first time. Tackling him back on the bed, I rain kisses all over his face and neck as he chuckles.
