Josie was surprised to hear that Penelope doesn't want to go. She knew Penelope and Lizzie couldn't see eye to eye in many situations, but she didn't understand why she wouldn't want to go to her best friend's wedding. She took a seat on the sofa behind Penelope and put her arms around her.

''What is wrong baby? Why don't you want to go?''

''Because I am not a hypocrite….''

''What happened?''

''Ask your sister… You know I am not a gossip babe.''

''You won't even tell me?''

''Not my secret to tell…and don't try to poke around what is the thing… I just know I can't be there and watch the fake behavior of your sister.''

''Now you've got me worried.''

''I am sorry baby…''

''I know better than to try to get it out of you. If that is how you feel, I will not make you go.''

Penelope turned to face Josie and she kissed her.

''I love you Josie.''

''I love you too stubborn ass.''

Penelope smirked and kissed back.

''Josie, I love this moment of tenderness…and all where it all leads…''

Josie smirked and hit her shoulder.

''…but I have to work…''

''Fine…Go back to work and I am going to our room to relax and mentally prepare for chaos that will happen tomorrow.''

''Go and relax baby…''

''Love you P.''

''Love you to Jojo.''

She went to bedroom and Penelope got back to work. Around eight in the evening, Josie got out of the room and asked Penelope if she was hungry. Penelope told her she was starving and Josie went to kitchen and started making chicken and vegetables. When dinner was done, Penelope got into kitchen and put her arms around Josie.

''It smells amazing baby.''

''Thanks.''

They had dinner and Penelope helped her with the dishes. After they were done, they went back to the living room. Josie helped her clean the floor from the papers and they cuddled up on the sofa and watched TV. Penelope held Josie and played with her hair. Josie loved cuddling with her wife and loved those quiet moments. Josie got up from the sofa and offered Penelope her hand…

''Let's go to bed baby…''

''It's early Jojo…''

''Well, we don't have to sleep.''

''Oh…''

They spent the night making love and cuddling. Penelope fell asleep first and Josie spent some time just watching her sleep. She was memorized by the view of her wife. She fell asleep few minutes later cuddled up to Penelope being a big spoon for a change.

In the morning they were woken up by Josie's phone. It was her mom. Josie answered and Caroline called her to come to Lizzie's house because she was nervous. She was being mean to the makeup girl and hairdresser. Josie told their mother that she needs some time to get ready and she will come. Penelope woke up, but didn't make any comment. Josie knew there is plenty on the tip of her tounge and she was grateful she didn't say a word. Josie took a shower and put on yoga pants and Penelope's top. She packed all the things she needed for the day and went back to the bed. Penelope was wrapped in the sheet and she looked so cute when she was sleepy.

''Love you P.''

''Love you too…''

''See you tonight.''

''Se you Jojo… Good luck with…Lizzie.''

''Thanks.''

Josei left the house and got into her car. She drove to the venue and she was a bit pissed that her mom woke her up and again delegated crazy Lizzie duties to her. She parked and got her things out of the car and went upstairs to the bridal suite. Lizzie was screaming at the makeup artist and the girl was close to quieting. Somehow Josie managed to calm Lizzie and she let the girl finish putting her makeup on. An hour later Lizzie was ready and it was turn for the rest of the bridesmaids to get ready too. Josie was first to get ready and she helped the rest of the girls. Many photographs of the bride and her bridesmaids were made and they also took family photos. Alaric was taken by his daughters and how beautiful they were. They took family pictures and Caroline kept looking around looking for something. Josie came to her and pulled her aside.

''Mom, what is wrong?''

''Where is Penelope?''

''She is not coming…''

''Why?''

''I have no idea. She has some issues with Lizzie.''

''What issues?''

''I don't know. She said Lizzie has to tell me something.''

''What does she have to say?''

''I have no idea… Penelope didn't say anything.''

Caroline and Josie had to end the conversation because it was time to leave for the church. Josie was in the van with Hope and the rest of the girls and Lizzie was in the car with her dad.

Wedding was weird somehow. Josie felt some tension in the air especially when she mentioned Penelope to Lizzie and Hope. It also looked like Lizzie and her were relieved when they learned that Penelope was not coming. Josie found that weird, but she didn't ask or comment on that. On the other hand MG was over the moon for marrying Lizzie. He was a bit tipsy later in the evening and he kept telling Josie how lucky he was to marry girl like Lizzie was. Josie was touched by nice words her used to describe Lizzie . She was happy that her sister was that loved and she was glad that MG got his happy ending. He really loved Lizzie for so long and she finally became his wife. She found it very romantic. She found it weird that Lizzie spent some time at the reception avoiding her husband. Josie didn't see that as a typical behavior for the bride. Again, Lizzie was not someone you would describe as usual person. She finally got a moment alone with her sister.

''What happened with you and Penelope? What is the thing you have to tell me?''

''Nothing… That's just your wife being an ass.''

''Oh…''

Josie was not really buying that.

''Cut the crap Lizzie.''

''She doesn't like me and she is jealous of the love and attention MG is giving me. You know Penelope. She believes everyone should be infatuated with her and she doesn't take loss that well. MG loves me more than her and she is jealous and capable of making up things just to cause problems… But you know that Jo.''

Alaric was coming to call Lizzie to take pictures with the guests so Josie stayed alone. She realized she was not in a mood to stick around so she went to her car and went home. She found Penelope in bed reading a book. She lifted her gaze from the book and smiled.

''Hey babe.''

''Hey…''

''Had fun?''

''I don't know… Lizzie pissed me off, but MG… He was so cute… He loves her so much and he kept telling me and the rest of the guests who wanted to listen, how amazing my sister is and how in love he is.''

Penelope made a face.

''What is it Penelope? Are you really jealous?''

''What?''

''That's what Lizzie is saying.''

''That I am jelous of her? Why would I be jealous?''

''Because MG loves her more and gives her more attention?''

''God Josie, he is my friend. Why would I care he is with someone?! We've been friends for so long and he knows I am happy for him if he is happy with the person he is with… I don't care about his dating life. I am not interested in him like a man… I only care about you in that, romantic and sexual way. MG is family…and I would be the happiest to know that he is married to someone who loves him and appreciates him…and Lizzie is none of those two.''

''Why do you say that? Why do you constantly rip into my sister?''

''Because she deserves it.''

''Why? What did she do?''

''She should tell you.''

''Well, obviously she is not going to tell me so you should…''

Penelope put her book aside and took Josie's hands.

''Here goes nothing…''

''Ok, I am listening…''

''Lizzie and Hope are sleeping together.''

Josie looked at Penelope like she had seven hears and eleven arms.

''What?''

''What I just said… Your sister and Michaelson are having sex.''

''How do you know?''

''I saw them at the party… They were doing it in the office when you sent me to find Lizzie.''

''Why haven't you said anything?''

''Because I believed she should tell you… It's her secret to tell, not mine.''

''I can't believe it… Lizzie and Hope? It makes no sense… She… She is not into girls.''

''She can be into Hope.''

''No! No! It's not true… You saw wrong.''

Penelope was not taking it as something personal. She knew that comment came from the place of not being able to comprehend what was going on, not accusing her of being a liar or making it all up.

''Jojo, I know what I saw… I can't erase that from my mind…even if I wanted to…''

Josie went to the bathroom to get ready for bed and Penelope went back to her book. Josie got into bed and fluffed her pillow.

''Am I a bad wife for wanting all the things you told me to be a lie?''

''No, you are not.''

''Thank you Penny…''

She smirked.

''You are horrible wife.''

''Penelope!''

''What I am just stating the fact.''

''You are mean.''

''Maybe…''

Penelope pulled Josie into her arms and held her.

''I feel disappointed at Lizzie and Hope… Maybe even betrayed.''

''I know Jojo…''

''MG doesn't deserve it.''

''I agree.''

''How can I have lunch with them tomorrow?! I wouldn't be able to sit with them and pretend I don't know anything.''

''Maybe you shouldn't pretend Jojo… Why don't you tell them you know.''

''It would not change anything. They slept together and she deceived MG. Me saying I know about the affair wouldn't erase it. Me mentioning it would just highlight the events.''

''Maybe it would make it stop?''

''You think they kept sleeping together?''

''I am not sure… But if I had to guess, I would go with yes. I think they are still sleeping together.''

''I hate the position we are at.''

''I hate it too…''

''And that's why two of us are going together.''

''What?''

''You are having lunch with me , newlyweds and Hope.''

Penelope made very sour face.

'' I can't wait Jojo. I am so excited…''

''Shut up Penelope.''

''Love you too Jojo.''
