The same roof 2 || HEROPHINE

eight: the blonde guy

Hero's Pov

I continue till my muscles are begging me to stop and I feel my muscles literally ripping.
Today no field, just gym session with the whole team.
I'm so freaking exhausted but it's a exhaustion that makes you feel so good about it like a person that's on a diet and checks her/his weight and discovers that she/he lost 2 kg.

I'm working so hard from when I got here, I mean, not everyone gets a chance like this.
I was and still so lucky.
I hang out just one time to buy my cigarettes so me and Morgz took advantage of the occasion to walk around Liverpool.
I like it here and if I had my loved ones here I would literally love this city.
Thinking about loved ones, I freaking miss Jo.
And the double bed isn't helping me because it feels so empty with just me on it.
I call her every night usually around eight so I'm sure that she is dining and not sleeping, she sleeps pretty early.

I try to check on her many time as I can but she seems doing so great without me.
She talked me about Selena a girl that fortunately Christian introduced her.
Jo talked me so well about her, it seems that they are getting along so well, plus, she is happily married and they have a gorgeous baby called Elle.

Jo is torturing me with so many cute photos with Elle, I look at them every night and I imagine having our own little Elle.
She would be the best mom ever and I would be the happiest man walking in our home and finding my two women.

"Man!" Morgz scares me waking me up from my deep thoughts.
"Bloody hell. What?!" I ask annoyed by the little heart attack that he almost made me have on the tapis roulant.
"Let's end it here and let's go to eat." he says.
I look how much time I've been on it and it says 30 minutes so I nod and jump out of it.
We are the latest ones to leave the gym and I barely can walk. We all have this same feeling everyday and last night happened that I feel asleep on the couch of the living room while I was on a FaceTime call with Jo.
She sent me so many screenshots of me sleeping.
If she sees how push my body over the limit sometimes she will literally kill me, the only advice that she gave me before I left was that and I'm not doing it.
But I need to do that. I want to play in this team so much even I love my actual team, but this one feels like a dream come true.
I bonded with so many of the players and I can't say that they all are down to Earth but they are all good athletes.

"So you're missing her huh?" Morgz asks me softening his eyes.
"I miss her so much, but I know that she's on good hands." I say.
"Oh the girl that Christian introduced her?" Morgz asks saying a piece of his steak.
"Yeah, did I show you the last photo that Jo sent me with her baby?" I ask him while I'm tasting my stake.
He shakes his head with his frowned forehead.
So I start to fishing on my pocket searching for my phone and I show the photo.
"Oh Jesus Crist, I could not resist one more day here after saw this picture. Look how cute they look!" Morgz says getting softened by the photo.
"I know!" I say so desperate and I have to wait 3 more day to go back to London.
"Jo looks even cuter with a baby tho. You two could be great parents... Did she already talked to her family?" he asks me.
"No she didn't yet but she will." I say.
"Well I can't wait to be a uncle. I hope for a girl." he says.
"Man we didn't even tried to have a baby and you're thinking about the baby's gender?" I ask literally crying laughing getting the attention of many teammates that are sitting on the couch.
"You never told me if you hope to have a son or a daughter one day..." he makes me notice.
"Oh, I hope in a son so he can be an older brother to his sister if w-" I try to explain.
"Woah woah woah, break for a sec. You told me that I was running and you are talking about having a daughter as a second child?!" he asks.

"No way. That was destiny for sure." Selena says when I finish of telling her how Hero and I met and got in a relationship.
"Yeah it kinda sound like a teen fiction." I say giggling while Elle is playing with my phone.
"So are you two planning of having a baby soon?" she asks.
"We already talked about if and we love to but I wanna talk about it with my parents." I say and then she stops playing with Elle and she looks in my way.
"What?" I ask dying you know what is going on in her head.
I really would like to know her opinion about it, she is very honest about everything and I feel I can really trust her.
Lately I had trust issues on people but with her I can't find a reason to not be friend with her.
She's kind, sweet and she could really be another big sister figure in my life besides Katherine.
I can't find a reason to her to hurt me... I mean she's a grown ass woman that have literally everything in life: a charming house an amazing house, an husband and a really sweet daughter.
Scarlett was jealous of me and that made her use me and hurt me but Selena can't find a reason to do it and hones she seem a genuine person from I can learn things.
"I don't want to you get offended by but I can't understand you... You're waiting to do the big step because you want the consent of your parents?" she asks.
Why it's so strange to her.
"Yeah. It's that strange? I mean they still my parents..." I explain to her like I have to defend myself.
