Back To London

Jo's pov

The week flew by with Hero in Canada with me we are now back in London at his flat. I am lying down reading a new script my agent sent over when Hero comes in the room saying "baby girl do you want to go out tonight?" "Yeah sure where we going" I reply. "Party at Jack's house tonight he wants to put everything behind us all" he says. "Ok I'll get ready now then" I tell him putting the script aside and getting out of bed. I head to shower and change into a white dress with my strapped black heels and grab my black clutch adding a little make up and lip gloss. As I am almost done Hero knocks on the door saying "you ready to go my sweetlangford baby girl." I smile at his pet name for me and say "yeah I'm coming babe." I open the door and Hero is standing there as he eyes me up and down he groans making me giggle I say "what?" "Fuck you are so damn gorgeous" he says pulling me in for a kiss. "You don't look so bad yourself" I say pulling him in by his shirt for another kiss. "Ok, ok let's get out of here before I change my mind and take you right here and now" he says teasing me. I giggle and we head towards his car. Once inside I ask him "are Mercy and Felix going to be there?" "Yeah they are meeting us there" he replies. I turn on the radio and Pia's song bitter love is playing so I sing along. Hero watches me smiling as he drives and then says "damn girl you can sing what other secret talents do you have." "Plenty" I tell him with a wink. "Is that so" he teases. "If I tell you id have to kill you" I tease him back. He laughs and says "oh baby girl I will learn them all eventually we got time." I love how he's always saying he will know all of me and how much he loves me. The one thing I'm scared of is the fact that in 2 months I have to decide whether to go back to Australia, L.A or stay in London. But I don't even know if Hero wants me in London and should I only stay in London for a guy when my career would take off if I was based in L.A. Ugghh all these thoughts are always suffocating me.

We are on the way to Jack's party and my mind is racing because of how hot Jo looks in that sinfully tight white dress. No one better start any shit tonight or I swear to God. I noticed Jo's been quiet since I said I would find out all her secret talents in time. "Hey baby girl what's wrong" I ask her. "What? Nothing" she replies putting her hair behind her ear. I've come to notice certain things about Jo and when she is nervous and doesn't want to confront something she messes with her hair. What is she nervous about? Is this about Jack? Did she like him? "Is this about Jack?" I blurt out as we park outside the house. "Are you serious right now?" She says. "Well why are you acting so weird then" I ask her. "Hero please drop it" she says getting annoyed. "Fine I will for now anyways" I say. We head into the party and I am greeted by all my boys. "Hey FT get over here manz it's been a minute" Morgz yells over to me. I take Jo's hand and head over to where the boys are sitting. "What's up Morgz how's it been?" I ask him. "Good man yeah hey Jo how was the movie you did" he asks. "It was great I can't wait for you all to see it" she says. "Hey Jo come over here with us" Mercy yells out as she is hanging with the other girls near the bar. "Yeah go Jo hang with the ladies" Morgz says. "Um ok see ya guys later" she says heading over towards the girls. I sigh and run my hands threw my hair. "What's up my dude?" Felix asks me. "Nothing man just stressed about shit with Jo" I say. "Trouble in paradise already" Valand says snickering. "Oi fuck off wanker" I tell him. I look over and see Mercy and Jo laughing together with a few other girls I've never seen before. "Let's do shots" I say and the boys all yell "fuck yeah." We all do shots of patron and I am getting pretty tipsy when Jo and Mercy come over and Mercy sits in Felix's lap and Jo just stands beside me not saying a word. All of a sudden she says "I'm going to the bathroom" and heads off to find a bathroom. I follow behind her when Jack comes up to me and says "I'm glad we can put the stuff with Josephine behind us my man." "Yeah me to bruv thanks for apologizing" I tell him and he gives me a bro hug. I head to the bathroom but Jo isn't there so I go back to the living room and she isn't there either. I ask Mercy "did Jo come back in here?" "Nope. She went to the bathroom didn't she?" She asks me. I go to grab my phone to call her only to see that it's dead. Fuck my life. Where the fuck is she? I check every room in Jack's house and still no pretty little blonde with the ocean eyes turns up. The only place I haven't checked is outside so I grab my coat and head outside only to see Josephine shivering and crying in my car.

He was being so distant acting like I wasn't even here with him so I took the chance when Mercy told me to join them and Morgz seconded it. Hero didn't try to kiss me goodbye or even say a word to me so I left and went and sat near Mercy at the island bar table Jack had set up. "So Jo this is Sara and Tayla two great ladies just like me and you" Mercy says introducing us. "Nice to meet you ladies" I say extending my hand to each of them and we shake hands. We start talking about random things. Once Mercy tells them that I am an actress they ask me about the movie I just did I tell them the basics but don't give away and spoilers. We laugh at a funny story Tayla is telling us about the first time she got drunk and how she was so messed up banging into walls and slurring her speech only to find out that her sister lied and it wasn't even alcohol she drank. We were all in stitches after she admitted that  and my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. But then I looked over at Hero and he was looking at me like I am not supposed to be laughing or something as he slams back shot after shot and continues to laugh and talk with his friends. "Hey come with me" Mercy says pulling me back in the room where the boys are sitting. She jumps into Felix's lap leaving me to awkwardly stand there near Hero who still doesn't say a word to me as he merely glances at me and looks away. "I'm going to the bathroom" I say to no one in particular and begin to walk away. I can sense he is following me but luckily Jack intervenes and stops to chat with him. I make a bee line for the door and head outside. Fuck it's cold out here and I forgot my damn jacket. I pray Hero left his car doors unlocked and head over to his car luckily it opened so I jumped in and shut the door. It's still cold but less so from the cars interior. About 15 mins pass by and I am debating whether I should call Hero and tell him to bring me back to his parents house when I see him I barely register the fact I am crying and shivering my ass off in this car right now. As he comes running to the car he opens the door and says "put this on now" and places his jacket over me. He puts the keys in the ignition and blasts the heater on. "Thank fuck Jo I've been looking for you every where" he says out of breath. "Just take me back to your parents" I tell him. "Wait fuck you can't no way you drank way too much" I say. "I'll call a Uber to take me back just sleep it off here" I say not letting him get a word in until he yells out "what fuck no Jo you are not going back to my parents." "You think you can ignore me all night, not say one fucking word to me in there and then that I would just what happily go back home with you" I laugh mocking him. "We are not done with this conversation and you are coming home with me or I'll go back to my parents with you either or" he says mocking me back. "Fuck you Hero you don't own me" I spit back. "Never said I did but I do fucking love you" he says. "Sure fooled me" I say. "Please don't leave me" he says with sadness in his voice. "I need some space for now" I tell him.
