In everything but title Hero and I have been acting very couple like lately despite our agreement to go slow since we've admitted our feelings for each other. We've slept together every night since that first time together, Hero usually insists I stay with him or he tends to fall asleep on me, which I've grown to look forward too because lets face it who would've thought that Hero Fiennes-Tiffin was a cuddler, It's absolutely adorable. So far Hero's been nothing short of amazing, I mean I know it's pretty early on but he surprises me everyday because clearly what I thought of Hero was utterly wrong, He'd make the perfect boyfriend, he's attentive and really affectionate. I know if I were to try and explain how Hero treats me to anyone else they wouldn't believe me. He's shown me a side of him that I doubt no one else has been privileged to see, he makes me feel like I matter.

In this short time frame I've learnt a lot about Hero, he's is actually pretty sensitive and beneath that huge ego and cocky demeanour is someone who needs a lot of reassurance. Being with Hero in this way has brought me out of my comfort zone, I was never an affectionate person simply because Patrick wasn't and I never felt comfortable enough around his friends to engage in PDA, but Hero's a completely different story he tries to touch me every chance he gets whether its holding my hand if we go for a quick walk to Jimmy's or playing with my feet, hands or hair whenever were laying together watching Netflix. I can tell it means a lot to him whenever I'm affectionate towards him or initiates most of our interactions, which is much different from what I'm used too but I try just to at least match his effort. He also does everything in his power to make sure that I'm comfortable never forcing me to do anything. Sometimes I catch myself imagining a future with Hero but I always quickly dismiss it getting too far ahead of myself, I was the one that wanted to go slow in the first place.

When it comes to sex hands down Hero wins. I'm not the most experienced person but I don't imagine it gets any better than this. He never pushes me beyond my limits and he's usually really gentle with me as though I could break any moment but then they're moments when he takes charge and that does something for me, I would have never considered myself very adventurous in bed to be honest but now a part of what gets me off is seeing Hero's react to me and the pleasure I give him. Everything about Hero screams sex, and the fact that sometimes I catch him off guard is exhilarating. His touch sends shivers through my body no matter how many times we have sex. It's like he's taken his time to learn everything about me from what riles me up to making me climax in less than five minutes. Pompous ass. He also has a way of saying the filthiest things and makes them sound so sexy and desirable. I don't know if it's the accent or him specifically but when I imagine any other Brit saying these things it does nothing for me. Its gotten so bad I'm not sure if I could fall asleep now not being in Hero's arms. What scares me the most about Hero is how strongly I feel for him in such a sort space of time.

I've been so consumed in Hero that I've completed neglected the outside world including the real reason why I chose London for my trip. I currently have a standing job offer with a huge design company that has locations in Australia, Italy and London.

I've pushed this too the back of my mind focusing on Hero which is exactly why I wanted to take this slow. I'm currently scrolling through my emails while Hero takes a work call. After deleting nearly one hundred online shopping coupons I spot an email from the HR representative that was contacting me originally. After reading the email the company has requested that we set up a video conference to complete my contract upon acceptance which means I'll have to settle on an office location.

As Hero walks in the room I close my laptop quickly. I haven't told him my actual reason for coming here as yet but I will its not even that big a big deal its actually good news, well if he wants me to stay that is. Wait if this is just a holiday fling for him. Stop overthinking Jo. We've never once mentioned me going back to Australia its like we're here in London in his condo in our own personal bubble away from the outside world and I'm scared of what'll happen when that bubble burst. He walks over leaning over planting a kiss on my cheek. "Is everything ok, love ?" He asks eyeing the laptop I just slammed shut.
