The same roof 1 || HEROPHINE

thirty-seven: like a flashback

Josephine's Pov

It's almost 2 AM and I'm still at Nathan's.
"Jo." Nathan aks grabbing my wrist after that I said good night to everyone.
I turn and I look at him, his perfect curly hair is wet while his forehead is shining under the lights of his apartment.
He is a great but also a goofy dancer, I love that because it's what I also do.
"Yes?" I ask opening his main door, ready to step outside.
"Are you sure that you don't want to stay over? I mean tomorrow we don't have work, it's Sunday... I can drive you home tomorrow morning." he propose touching the back of his head nervously.
He has his friends over and he will run out of space if I also will stay at his place for the night.
"Nath I would love to, but you have already guests and if I don't go now Hero will call the cops." I say.
I didn't told him what happened with Hero as I should. Also because I'll sound so pathetic.
"You're right... So... hear you soon. Thank you for come over." he says opening his arms so I hug him tight and then step out.
"Thank you for inviting me! I had so much fun!" I say smiling at him.
"Good night." I say right after.
"Good night. I'll look at you from the balcony get into the taxi." he says smiling.
So I go down stairs and I find the taxi waiting for me.
I look up and here he is with his hood on. It's freezing outside.
He waves at me and I do the same.
"Text me when you get home!" He yells and I show him my thumb.
I get in the taxi and the guy is looking at me strangely.
I follow his eyes and then I get why. He is both wrong tho.
I mean I'm with Nathan shirt that covers also my tights, with my jacket over that and Dr Martens at my foots.
"Alright what it's the address?" he asks ready to digit it on the gps.

I'm not ready to see him. I really hope that he is sleeping in his room or he didn't even got home.
"Thank you. Here it is." I say giving him his money.
"Thank you. Have a good night." he says.
"You too." I say closing the car door and looking at the taxi leaving our neighbourhood.

When I get to the elevator my heart is pouncing my chest while the images of their lips still replaying in my mind.
I put the they inside and I ruotate.
I slowly push it hoping that it doesn't makes any kind of noise.
I step in and then my heart drops.
Here is he sleeping on the couch. Why he's sleeping on the couch when he owns a bed?
I carefully close the door and then I take a time to look a him while I'm taking my shoes off.
He is already in comfy clothes that makes me think that he is back from a while now.
His head is softly placed on one of the many pillow on the couch, his eyes are fully closed made his lips, his chest is slowly going up and down, his knees are almost reaching his chest and his right hand is under the pillow and Diesel is sleeping right between his feet.
My thoughts are interrupting by the keys that falls out of my jeans and then they both open their eyes.
He opens his eyes looking around confused like he doesn't knows where he actually is. Is he drunk?
"Shit." I whisper and then he stands up.
I see his eyes run all over my body and he understands that, that's not my clothes and he clenches his jaw.
"Jo. You're here! Listen I'm sor-" he starts to say and then I abound his look and run to my way to the bedroom.
"You please, listen to me for a sec!" he yells following me.
I get more faster and once in my bedroom I try to close my door but he stops it pushing with his shoulder.
This makes me have a flashback of when I tried to close the door on his face when he came to the apartment tour but he stopped it whit his feet but this time I can read desperation on his ocean eyes.
"Hero I don't wanna listen to you now!" I say and then he pushes even harder and then he gets into and closes the door.
"Listen, I'm so sorry. I didn't meant to hurt you. It's just the alcohol and everything ..." he starts to say torturing his hands.
I can read disappointed in his face.
"Oh, don't give the fault to the alcohol now." I say while a knot is taking place on my throat and stomach.
"Alright. I'm sorry Jo." he says again.
"Can you go out?" I ask.
"Jo you can't be this angry we aren't a thing yet remember? We kissed and you said that this wasn't right that you had to know me well..." he starts to say and then I realise how pathetic I am.
"You know what? You're right. We are nothing but that's not allows you to say certain things like "I'm into you" and then kiss an another girl right in front of me but you're completely right, we aren't a thing and we're not dating, so you can do whatever the heck you want." I say with just a breath.
"Jo it's not it... it's just-" he says stepping forward and then I automatically step back.
"No that's it. I accept you excuses and now you can walk out." I say.
"No I know thank now you're going to ignore me and stop talking to me." he says.
"Why should I do it? You didn't do nothing wrong since we aren't a thing... No I'm not gonna stop to talk to you but remember since now for you I'm just your roommate. Not even dare you to knock at this door or even walk in." I say pushing him back and then sit the door right in front his face.
