The same roof 1 || HEROPHINE

thirty-one: confession

Josephine's Pov

The bell wakes me up.
I open my eyes and then I notice that Hero is gone.
God, I slept that much? We slept late, because we watched the first two hunger games.
I could not make him stay in the ignorance for this long, he had to watch them.
"I'm coming!" I yell.
"Thank God!" I hear Scarlett from the other side of the door.
So I open the door and I find her a bit preoccupied.
"What the bloody hell you was doing? You were sleeping this long?" she asks surprised noticing my sleepy eyes.
"Yeah. What time is it?" I ask rubbing my eyes and letting her walk in.
"It's two pm." she says.
I close the door and then I pull up my hair in a messy bun.
I lay on the couch.
"How are you?" she asks handing me a bottle of my favorite orange juice.
"Oh my God, I finished this and was literally going crazy without it." I say thanking her. "I'm good but Christian doesn't wants me back before Friday." I say rolling my eyes.
"Yeah he is right. Do you need to go to the grocery shop?" she asks.
"Yes. Please take me out of here." I say bagging her.
"Alright, let's go to do something girly." she says taking a cushion from the couch and then throw it on me.
I throw it back to her and then run to my room.

I put a gray sweater and sweatpants.
I collect my hair in a messy bun.
"Oh so today comfy huh?" she ask looking at my outfit.
"Remember that I'm still sick." I say justifying myself.

So get to the car and she dives me to an unknown place.
It's a nails salon.
"We both deserve this." she says once sit while the girls are doing our nails.
I decide to leave my nails short like they are, and I pick a nude colour while Scar decides to make them longer and picks the color white.

This is actually the first time that I get my nails done and I realized how I never cuddled myself with those little things.
Scar is really making me discover myself.
She made me rent the room to Hero and with that I felt so many emotions that I could never think about.
I forgot how is thinking about a guy constantly during the day. I wasn't feeling like this from the high school.
"So... are you regretting making Hero move out with you?" she asks interrupting my thoughts.
I look up to her while I'm taking my favorite cereals and placing them into the cart.
I roll my eyes after saw that smirk on her lips.
She already knows the answer.
"You already know the answer but if you makes you happy: you were right, we're bonding." I say and then her smirk gets replaced by a flattered smile.
"I'm always right baby." she says winking at me.
I walk after.
"So...?" she asks knowing that there is so much more.
"So what?" I ask.
"Are you looking at him with different eyes now?" she asks while inside of me I have a huge war going on. I really want to let everything out and talk about it with someone but she is also his girl best friend and I know that she will tell him.
"Jo you can tell me. If you tell me to not tell him, I'll not. Promise." she says.
"Pinky promise." I say. She looks at my pinky finger and then laughs wrapping her pinky finger to mine.
"Pinky promise." she says.
So I put my hand down.
She is waiting for me to speak.
"I'm catching feelings for him." I say and then she starts to jump.
"I knew it, I knew it!" she literally yells and then I try to stop her and don't let her drag the attention of the other people around us.
"Shit. Sorry." she says stopping while I feel my face burning because of the embarrassment.
"A you that you kept saying "he is not my type" "is not going to happen".." she says mocking me trying to imitate me.
"One" I say aiming her with a packet of spaghetti "that's an horrible imitation of my voice. Two, it's still not going to happen." I say throwing the spaghetti on the cart and then walk.
"Wait. Why?" she asks reaching me.
"I know that he is into you for sure." she says.
Pff impossibile. I mean I know that he has an physical attraction to me but that's it and for me it's not enough.
"That's not true and also if is true I'm not going to let it happen." I say while my hart is beating fast.
She literally jumps and place herself right in front of the cart making me stop.
"Why not?" she asks and I really never saw her this serious.
"Because I'm scared okay? I ask trying to avoid her and keep walking but then she moves in front of me again.
"Scared of what?" she asks curious.
I look around and we're alone.
I take a deep breathe.
"I never been in a relationship." I confess.
Her lips opens a bit while I totally can read the disbelief on her face.
"No way. You're joking." she says and then I shake my head.
"I swear. I mean I dated guys and I already had my first time but I never been in a serious relationship and it scares me." I say.
"Okay okay, but scared of what?" she asks growing her forehead.
"About being not good at it and about... if it doesn't works? I don't want to not be able to not be able to look at him again." I say freaking out and letting all my insecurities out.
"Why it wouldn't work?" she asks.
"I know that y'all keep telling me that he is not the guy that I'm thinking he is but he slept with Chanal after he kissed me and that made me think-" I say and then her jaw seems touching the ground.
"Wait what? Kissed?! You two kissed?" she asks so disbelief.
"Yes before New York. Don't be angry with Hero, I asked him to don't tell you." I say and I see her lost and confused stare while I can hear her loud thoughts.
"What? Wait. Why?" she says incredibly confused.
"Because I didn't wanted you to persecute me with the same sentences." I say.
"So you two kissed! How it was?" she asks curious.
That's a real question... how it was?
I take a deep breathe.
I still remember how his hands were holding me, his lips were fencing on mine, our breathes were echoing in the room and my heart was bouncing on my chest.
"It was amazing. I never felt in that way." I say and then a huge smile take place in Scar's face.
"So why you're not together yet?" she asks looking at me like I'm a thief or something.
"Because, one I told you, I'm not good at it, I've never been in a relationship an two, I found him sleeping with Chanal and I don't want to get my heart broken. It's the last thing that I need right now." I say think I at how can really distort me if we get along and then he just breaks my heart her where I literally have no nobody.
"Jo, I know that maybe you felt so hurt to find him in the same bed with her." she says placing her hand on mine while I have a flashback.
The worst was see her clothes on the ground.
Why she took off her clothes if they did nothing?
"But you have to experience that, you have to try you can't step back when a guy comes to you." she says and she's right.
I nod.
"So you're going to make it work?" she asks.
"Yeah but we still have to know ourselves. Step by step." I say.
"Of course, you two have to take your time. I'm so happy Jo. I can picture you two together so well." she says hugging me.
"And he needs a girl like you by his side." she says placing her head on my shoulder.
"Ah Saturday it's Felix's birthday, we will hang out in a night club. He said that I can take you too." she says smiling at me.
"Night club?" I asks a bit indecisive.
I'm sure that it can be fun but I'm not used to that type of places and I know that there will be so many drunk guys.
"Jo you have to come. Dress sexy and let's try to make Hero hurry." she says making me laugh.
Just thinking at me in a night club with a tight dress dancing in front of Hero makes me excited but also nervous.
"I don't have nothing to put on." I say.
"You'll be fine just with a top and a skirt. Don't worry if you have nothing I'll give you something mine." she says winking at me.
