Behind The Scenes

83. Jo

Hero came to Anna's for dinner one evening. I actually asked him.
I had proposed eating sushi in the living room, watching a movie together.
I was thrilled and nervous, I hadn't seen him in a long time.
"Love!" Anna was calling Asher from the kitchen. "Come and eat, Hero will arrive later."
The little guy ran into the kitchen hopping happily. "How beautiful! How beautiful!"
I bent down to hug him, I wanted to cheer with him. I could not wait.
While Ash was eating, the doorbell rang.
I opened the door, and I found him in front of me. He was different. He had shorter hair on the sides, you could see his fair skin, he seemed even taller to me.
"Can I?" he smiled at me outside the door.
I didn't realize I was staring at him. "Oh, yeah, sorry," and I stepped aside to let him pass.
Ash got off the stool in the blink of an eye and went to meet him, Hero picked him up and swung him in the air.
"Asher! How much have you grown, my God!" he commented laughing.
God... his smile, it was beautiful.
I looked at them and thought: 'What a wonderful father he will be'. True, his children will adore him someday. They can boast that they have a super cool dad.
Asher went back to the table to finish eating and in the meantime he was talking to Hero about the new legos and Super Mario Kart, I had given it to him for Christmas.
"We'll play tomorrow, okay?"
He nodded with a huge smile on his face.
After eating, Anna accompanied that little angel to bed.
Jordan wasn't there, he worked late that night, so we were left alone.
I went to the kitchen to get the sushi to take it to the sitting room.
"How are you?" I found him behind me and I was scared to death, almost everything fell from my hands. "Oh my God, sorry," he chuckled.
"Don't worry. Anyway, I'm fine, thanks." I gave him a smile. "You instead?"
"Normal."
We were fine, yes. I thought about him all the time, he was practically an obsession, but I was serene. I was fine with just thinking about him.
I was getting a bottle of white wine from the fridge and three glasses.
Hero saw me in trouble and then he helped me. "Oh, give it to me."
I held the bottle by the neck and his hand accidentally landed on mine. Neither of us moved in that instant. My gaze shifted from our hands to his eyes. We had made eye contact after a long time. I felt the fire rekindling in me. As if the little flame that had been burning in me had met gallons of gasoline. A fire had been started between us.
Anna was coming down the stairs and we were still motionless. She faked a cough and took a look at the TV. Fifty Shades of Grey was ready on screen.
"So? I'm hungry!" she exclaimed to get our attention.
I looked away immediately and Hero picked up the bottle. I cleared my throat. "Mhm, yes here we are."
We filled the glasses with some white wine, we started the film and in the meantime we ate.
"Can I ask you something?" I said suddenly and then took a sip of wine. "Why are we watching this shit?"
The two of them burst out laughing. "What would you have liked to see, sorry?"
"I don't know, but not this guy who ties this poor woman to the bars of the bed!"
We had finished eating and had drunk almost two bottles, as usual I drank most of all because I love wine.
"Yes... but she allows it," Hero mumbled.
I snorted. "We've been watching them fuck for two hours, that's enough!"
Anna doubled over with laughter. She then said to Hero, "Please blindfold her too and tie her up, fuck her and make her scream until her vocal cords burn so she stops poking her balls!"
We were wasted.
I sulked. Hero was not breathing with laughter.
"Anna, dear, I've always ruled in bed with this one. He wouldn't be able to do what Chris does... " I was clearly provoking him, I wanted a reaction. And I had it.
He put his leg between my thighs, took me by the wrists and pinned my arms to my head. I was out of breath. He smelled my neck and whispered, "You were saying?" He then looked into my eyes and burst out laughing as he sat down again.
Anna and I were shocked, but then we laughed too.
"Okay, okay..." I raised my arms in surrender. "But I've always been in charge anyway," I slurred.
"Do you want me to show you that I too can command?" he said with a malicious smile.
Anna was silent and she looked at us in shock. The conversation was going too far and apparently Hero and I had an absurd desire to drag ourselves to bed.
"Okay... are we going to keep watching the movie or do you have to fuck in front of me?" she said, to bring the evening back to normal. She knew that if we went to bed in that situation neither of us would understand anything anymore. The break thing was working all in all.
The film lasted two hours and we were all asleep. When I opened my eyes I found myself lying on Hero, with a blanket on. Anna was no longer there with us, she had gone to sleep.
Jordan came back as I was trying to figure out how we ended up like this. When he saw us hugging on the sofa he made a face and walked over to taste one of the rolls we had left. He gestured towards me and Hero, miming me something that should have meant 'are you back together?'.
I shook my head. "No, we drank a lot of wine, sorry," I explained briefly in a whisper.
He nodded and went upstairs.
My head was popping and I think if I got up I would have fallen directly to the ground, or maybe I would have thrown up. So I stayed there, I rested my head on his chest — which I had missed so much — and I fell asleep again, taking advantage of the opportunity to have him with me for one night.
