Jo
What's a few years of waiting when you get to be with the person your in love with at the end? When I first auditioned for After I had no clue what was coming my way, the fact I auditioned to play a small character and ended up with the lead role was mind blowing in itself but then Hero came along and made me fall endlessly in love with him. During filming for the first film we became very close spending a lot of time together I knew early on I was attracted to him and the more time we spent together my feelings only grew and it scared the living shit out of me. I started to pull away a bit and spent more time with the girls I just couldn't trust myself around him I knew he was confused to why I pulled away but he never confronted me about it until the book tour and that's when it all came out.

We were all at the hotel bar for drinks when Anna got a call from her husband so she could have her nightly chat with her little boy leaving just me and Hero alone, the tension in the air was suffocating until he spoke up starting a conversation that would change everything.

*Flashback*
We are sitting in the corner booth in the hotel bar when Anna leaves us alone to go facetime with her husband and son leaving us both sat in awkward silence until he speaks.

"Jo can we talk?" he says scratching his eyebrow looking straight at me nervously.

"Yeah sure what's up?" I smile trying not to panic.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asks making me freeze, shit.

"No of course not what do you mean?" I ask playing dumb.

"We were so close during them first four weeks then you just pushed me away I don't get it," he says looking down at his hands.

"I didn't mean to push you away and I'm sorry you feel that way I was just getting to know the girls more which was great considering now I actually know people to hang out with in LA not I live there," I tell him hoping he will leave it there, no such luck.

"Then why did you avoid me at all costs well being alone with me anyway?" he asks, fuck.

"I didn't," is all I can manage to say before finishing the rest of my drink.

"Yes you did Jo..." he says defeated leaning back on the chair, I need to end this conversation before I end up slipping up.

"Im sorry that you feel that way Hero but that's not the case, I'm going to head up to my room ill see you in the morning okay," I say standing up and walking to the elevator before giving him chance to respond.

Come on hurry up, hurry up, why the hell do these things take so long.... Finally! Just as I step in and the doors are closing a hand stops them and they open again, Hero, fuck.

"Your not running this time Jo I know there's more to this than your letting on and I want to know," he says as the doors close, fuck what the hell do I say now.

"Hero your making something out of nothing here just drop it... Please."

"Not until your honest with me Jo." he snaps.

"Hero -" I'm cut off by him closing the space between us.

"Is it because you are trying to run away from your feelings," he says moving my hair from my face, my palms are sweating and my legs feel like jelly, what the hell do I say to that.

"Feelings? Don't be crazy Hero," I say turning my head trying to avoid being to close to him even though he's practically got his body pushed against mine.

"So your telling me you have no feelings at all?" he says grabbing my face and turning me so I'm facing him again.

"No don't be silly we are Co stars," I say with a shaky breath and out of nowhere his lips crash against mine, shit this cannot be happening right now but I can't bring myself to stop this it's all I've wished for and imagined happening the past few months....
