Chapter 16

Hero

Song for this chapter - Love by Lana Del Ray.

I couldn't sleep last night, my mind running haywire with thoughts. Who is this person and what does he want from me? There are 3 messages from that same number. I try to text back but the message would simply bounce back. The number is not registered on Truecaller either which gives away the reason for it being identified unknown. It is 5.30 am and I didn't sleep even for a minute. I should be getting ready because Hero wanted to see me early. I take my shower, wear a red peplum top and blue skinny jeans. It is 6.30 already and the drive will take another 20 minutes. I don't take my morning coffee and stick a note on the refrigerator door for Anna before leaving. I drive to Jemmy's house and reach out for my phone to call Hero. "Damn it !!!" I forgot my phone at home. I don't really regret it. At least I won't have to see those messages while working. I walk to Jemmy's door and knock. "Good morning" Jemmy greets me opening the door and gestures me to come in.
"Good morning Jemmy" I said following her. "This is Ashley, my daughter" Jemmy points towards the girl sitting on the dining chair, eating her sandwich. "I hope I didn't disturb you" I said standing near the kitchen door. "No dear. I was just preparing her for school. Would you like some?" Jemmy asked plating some sandwiches. "No. But thank you" I said courteously. "Ok. He is still sleeping. He did tell me that you will be here today though" Jemmy said handing water to her daughter. "Yes. He wanted to catch-up" I said feeling a bit awkward. "Are you the one he was talking to yesterday?" Ashley asked finishing her morsel. "I think so" I said unsure. "He wasn't happy while playing with me because I didn't let him talk" she said removing a piece of tomato from her bread. I kept quiet because I did not know what to say. "But you enjoyed defeating him, didn't you?" Jemmy asked her playfully. "That I did" she replied dancing her legs. "He really likes you" Jemmy said breaking my thoughts. "Uhm yeah I know" I said rubbing my forehead. "You should wake him up. Second to the left " she smiled at me. "Thank you" I said before climbing upstairs. I followed Jemmy's direction and knocked lightly on the door. There was no response, so I pushed open. The room was dark but I could still make to his bed. He was sleeping, so peacefully that I didn't feel like waking him up. I sat on the edge, as he spread himself on the bed. His arms stretched out and touching my fingers, legs stretched out and hanging out a little off the bed. Gosh !! He is tall. I mean 3 of me can fit in this bed at any given time, leaving enough space for one  more and here is this boy leaving no space for me to sit. Before I can stop myself, I am running my fingers through his hair. My thumb travels his cheek where a deep dimple appears when he smiles, then his sharp jawline, his perfect lips which is so pink and soft naturally in spite of him smoking. The perfection this man has seems to define the word itself. I remember the time when I would look at his photos, zoomed them to learn every single detail of his face. His hair styled in a way which only he can carry off, those little marks on his skin, his nose. His indescribable eyes, his irises green in a shade I have never seen before. I never ever thought that I will be so lucky to feel his skin under my fingers. One can be attracted to someone physically but I connect to Hero in ways I never thought I could. He doesn't just make me feel lucky, he makes me feel happy, safe, and in love.
I was so lost in caressing his face, that my hand jerked away when he opened his eyes. "You are here" he mumbled. "Yes. You asked me so how could I not?" I said continuing to brush his hair leaning on one hand. "Uhhmm come here" he said pulling me inside his blanket. His one hand was under my head, like a pillow and the other one rested on waist. "How are you?" I asked keeping my hand on his chest, it is then I realized that he was shirtless. "I am good. You?" He asked now fully awake. "Never been better" I said biting my lip. "I wanted to...you know.. just spend some time.. with you... not working" he said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Thought so" I already knew how much he wanted to talk to me away from the set and prying eyes of the people around us. "So how's Mill ?" He asked out of nowhere. But that is what catching up is. "He is good. He apologized and he said that he won't be a jerk anymore" I said pretty confident of my friend's words. "Okay" he said but something seemed off in his voice. "Hey?" I raised his chin, making him look at me. "I told you, we are good" I said to shake off his uneasiness. "Yeah. You were so distant for last few days that I thought....It's just that I don't want you to choose me over them or- " I crash my lips on his before he could complete his sentence. "There is no choice" I said against his lips. He kissed me back as I felt him smiling. He pulled me closer against his body, leaving no space between us. I kissed him hard as his tongue swiped my lower lip and entered my mouth. His hand crept inside my top and he held me under him. My fingers run on his shoulder as his lips travelled my jawline. Goosebumps aroused on my body. The temperature rose up to another level. He planted kisses on my neckline making me moan his name. "Do you have jacket or something?" He asked meeting my eye. I nodded out of confusion. He grazed the skin on my collarbone between his teeth and sucked hard before planting wet kisses all over my neck, trailing to my ear "You will need it now" he said playfully. I tried to push him off me but he didn't budge. "Hero we have to go. Need to reach set by 9." I said pushing him again in vain. "It is 7.30 and I take only 15 minutes to get ready" he said furrowing his brow. "So?" I asked not getting his point. "We have 15 minutes more" he said in a hushed tone. "And what are we going to do for next 15 minutes?" I asked innocently. "Oh you don't know what we can do?" Hero asked inching closer. "No I don't" I said hiding my laugh. "Oh I see. Let me show you" he said before crashing his lips on mine.
