My Sweet Josephine

Prologue

6 years ago, Hero POV:

Pulling up in front of my house just getting back from a movie audition, I notice a moving truck in front of the house that is right next to mine. I had forgotten my mom telling me that we were getting new neighbors.

When I park my car in the drive way, I sit in it for a moment just watching them unpack the truck. As I'm watching I then see a girl that looks about my age come out of the house and grab a box. She stills for a moment then looks over at me, I make eye contact with the most beautiful blue eyes that i have ever seen.

She gives me a small smile and I return the gesture, she then turns and walks back into the house. I quickly get out of my car and sprint into my house and up into my room. I look out of my window and sure enough, it faces hers, I see her in her room taking things out of her boxes and placing them in different places.

As if she senses me looking at her, she turns to me and our eyes connect for the second time today. I quickly pull open my window and she does the same.

"Hey, my names Hero," I tell her after both our windows are open.

"I'm Josephine, but you can just call me Jo. It's nice to meet you," when she speaks I hear the most beautiful Australian accent leave her lips.

"Um, uh, do-do you ma-maybe wanna, i dont know, hang out later or something?" I stutter out like the pussy I am.

"Um, I could come over now, maybe?" She says like a question, after she asks this she bites her full bottom lip out of what I am guessing is nervousness.

Apparently I have just been staring at her lip for too long because she then says, "or maybe not, its totally fine if you don't-"

I cut her off by saying, "oh ya you can come over right now. Sorry I just got a little... distracted." She giggles when I say this. It is the most heavenly sound. She nods and closes her window, I take that as my cue to close mine and rush down the stairs.

"Hey mom! I invited the new neighbor girl to come over and hang out, is that alright?!" I yell to my mom.

"Oh yes hun, that's fine," she yells back from the kitchen. As if on cue, there is a knock on the front door.

I quickly pull it open to reveal Jo.

"Hi" we both say at the same time. I smile and step to the side to allow he access to come inside. When she walks in the grab her hand and lead us up to my room.

We talk hours upon hours, until it reaches 11 PM and she tells me she has to go home. When she leaves I go over to my window and look at hers. When she gets there we quickly open our windows and continue talking quietly. Our houses are so close that it isn't much of a problem.

That day, I fell utterly in love with my sweet Josephine.
