Chapter 16- It's a Double Date, Kinda.
"Are you ready to go?" Josie asked MG.
"Yeah I'm all good. Are Hope and Lizzie ready?" MG replied as he looked up from his comic book.
"Yeah, Lizzie just texted me. She said to meet them out by the car. She's got the keys." Josie said as she picked up her backpack from the floor and placed it over her shoulders.
"Okay, let's go then." MG replied as he closed his comic and took up. The two of them walked out of the school and around to the car shed. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?" Josie replied.
"No reason, I was just checking. It will do you some good getting out of the school for the day. Thanks for inviting me." MG nodded.
"You're my best friend MG, you don't need to thank me for inviting you anywhere." Josie laughed as she gently shoulder nudged him.
"Fair enough." MG laughed. "Hello ladies, how are we today?" MG said as he approached Hope and Lizzie who were waiting by the car.
"Hey MG. We're good thanks. How are you?" Hope smiled as she put her phone into her pocket.
"I'm good thanks." MG replied.
"Catch." Lizzie said to Josie as she threw the car keys over to her sister.
"Lizzie!" Josie squealed slightly as she covered her face to stop the keys from hitting her. The keys fell to the floor at her feet and she picked them up.
"I did say catch." Lizzie laughed.
"Well clearly I wasn't ready." Josie frowned as she unlocked the car.
"Clearly." Lizzie stated, climbing into the back seat shortly followed by Hope. MG released the front seat back and let it click into place before he climbed in and got settled in the passenger seat. Josie put the keys in the engine and started the car. Lizzie leaned through the small gap between the back seats and front ones, picking up the AUX cable and plugging her phone in. She scrolled through her 'car' playlist, chose a song and hit play before she sat back in her seat.
They drove out of the school gates and headed towards Richmond, about 30 minutes into the drive Hope spoke. "Hey Josie… Did you ever message Jade?" She asked as she scrolled through her phone. Lizzie's ears picked up and smiled, waiting eagerly for her sister to divulge the information.
"Bit nosey there, Hope." Josie laughed. "But no, I haven't."
"Fair enough." Hope shrugged before returning back to her phone. Lizzie grunted at Hope's lack of interest in Josie's love life.
"Why though? She was hot and totally into you." Lizzie retorted.
"Because believe it or not Lizzie, my life doesn't revolve around being in a relationship with someone." Josie replied, keeping her eyes on the road as she drove.
"Yeah but you've got to be missing sex by now, right?"
"I dunno Lizzie, did you miss sex for the two weeks you didn't speak to Hope? Or were you too preoccupied by other things?" Josie retorted. Lizzie opened her mouth a few times before she huffed and sat back in her seat, slightly annoyed that her sister won that small argument.
"I didn't really think much about it if I'm being honest." Hope shrugged. "I was too preoccupied to think about anything. So I don't take any offence that you didn't think about it either." She smiled as she stretched out her hand to meet Lizzie's. The 'we're making up for it now' was left unsaid but hung proudly over Hope's head as her thumb made quick work of opening the vibrator app on her phone and she set it to vibrate on the lowest setting for five seconds. She grinned as she watched the blonde's facial features twist as the unexpected vibrations coursed through her body.
After the vibrations stopped Lizzie relaxed her face before turning to face Hope. "Really?" Lizzie glared.
"I told you I was going to make this interesting." Hope smirked.
"I'm going to hate you today. I can just feel it." Lizzie retorted.
"Oh you love me, and you know it." Hope laughed. "Plus you agreed to it, so you can't back out now."
"Oh I can, and I will."
"Do it then, do it right now…" Hope dared, knowing full well that Lizzie wouldn't shove her hand down her own trousers and take the toy out in front of Josie and MG. Neither girl was prepared to answer the million questions that would be waiting for them. Lizzie stared at Hope silently admitting defeat and bracing herself for what was about to happen. Within seconds Hope set the vibrator off again, slightly stronger than before which made Lizzie have to bite down on her bottom lip to stifle the moan that wanted to slip.
"Do they usually do that?" MG asked Josie.
"Do what?" Josie replied.
"Wind each other up and talk to each other like no one else is around?"
"Yup. Don't be offended, you get used to it. I guess that's what happens when you hide your relationship from other people for 6 months." Josie shrugged.
"I still can't believe it. When have you ever known Lizzie to keep anything a secret?" MG laughed, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I heard that!" Lizzie called from the back seat, causing everyone else in the car to laugh. "And for your information I didn't keep it a secret. I told my mom about it. She knew about a month or so into it. I couldn't really hide it from her anyways because I was staying with her and talking to Hope every week on the phone. As much as she tried to not listen in, her vamp hearing got the best of her. But I'm glad she knew and I'm glad that I didn't have to hide anymore. And I would have told Josie, but she was too blindsided by she-who-must-not-be-named and I didn't want to give that bitch any more ammunition."
"Well you could have talked to me Lizzie." Josie sighed.
"Yeah, well I didn't feel like I could. But I know that I can now. And you know that you can talk to me as well. You're my favourite person. Hope is a very close second though." Lizzie laughed.
"I should take offence to that… But I won't, just because I love you enough to know not to get in the middle of the two of you." Hope smiled. Soon enough the car fell back into a comfortable silence for the remainder of the journey. It only took another fifteen minutes before they arrived in Richmond and Josie pulled that car into the carpark. Josie and MG got out first, followed by Hope and Lizzie.
The four of them walked the short distance to the movie theatre. Josie and MG were talking about the latest comic book he was reading whilst Hope and Lizzie were walking hand in hand not saying anything. When they arrived at the theatre, they all decided on what they were going to watch. There was some back and forth for a while, MG and Hope wanted to watch a comedy or an action film whilst Lizzie and Josie wanted to watch a romantic drama. Needless to say the Twins won that round. Josie paid for hers and MG's ticket whilst Lizzie paid for hers and Hope's. MG used compulsion to score free snacks for everyone whilst Hope stood there smirking to herself as she kept setting off Lizzie's vibrator in short bursts causing Lizzie to have to grab onto the closest thing to her to be able to steady herself through the vibrations. Eventually when Lizzie managed to find a seat to sit down on Hope stopped playing with her phone, much to the blonde's annoyance.
"I hate you." Lizzie said as she glared at Hope.
"You love me." Hope laughed as she put her phone in her pocket.
"You did that on purpose." Lizzie retorted.
"Of course I did. I told that I was going to make this fun." Hope smirked as she stepped closer to the blonde.
"What are you making fun?" Josie asked, appearing out of nowhere with her mouth full of popcorn.
"Our date." Hope smiled as she draped her arms over the younger girl's shoulders.
"Why what are you doing to her?" Josie replied.
"Do you want to tell her?" Hope laughed.
"Maybe later. I'll let you know how it goes first." Lizzie groaned as she pulled the shorter girl closer and rested her own forehead on Hope's stomach.
"Fine, don't tell me." Josie pouted as she sat down next to Lizzie.
"She's wearing a remotely controlled vibrator. It's linked to my phone and I keep using it." Hope laughed as she started rubbing the blonde's back.
"What's that about a vibrator?" MG asked, finally returning from using the bathroom and joining in halfway through the conversation.
"Nothing." The three girls said in unison.
"Ookay then…" MG drawled as he picked up his drink from Josie's lap and took a sip. After about twenty minutes the group was allowed to enter the screen room to take their seats.
"Where do you want to sit?" Josie asked.
"Wherever you wanna sit Jo." MG smiled.
"What about you two?" Josie said as she turned to face the older girls.
"Wherever is fine with us." Hope nodded. Josie stared at them for a few seconds before she shrugged and led them all halfway up the rows and picked out some seats in the middle of the room. MG shuffled in first, followed by Josie, Lizzie then Hope.
They sat down and got comfortable a few minutes before the film started, Lizzie rested the big tub of popcorn between hers and Hope's seats. Hope pulled her phone out of her pocket and turned the brightness all the way down. "What are you doing?" Lizzie whispered.
"Just making sure my phone isn't too bright, so it doesn't disturb other people when I use it." Hope replied.
"You just want to kill me, don't you?" Lizzie retorted.
"Not at all baby. I just want you to have some fun. Aren't you having fun? Do you want me to stop?" Hope asked.
"No, I don't want you to stop. It's just… torture… Not knowing when it's going to happen." Lizzie whined.
"I'm sorry baby… But I can probably guarantee that I'm just as wet as you are." Hope smirked as she lent closer to the taller girl, her lips centimetres away from her ear. "Why don't you feel for yourself?"
"Are you being serious right now?" Lizzie swallowed.
"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't want it to happen." Hope beamed. Soon enough the lights in the theatre dimmed and the screen started playing the opening ads of the film.
"I might just have to surprise you." Lizzie taunted as she shuffled herself back into her seat and tried to focus her attention on the screen. Hope huffed and turned her attention to the screen. She placed the phone under her leg and stretched out her right hand to take Lizzie's in her own. Lizzie relaxed slightly when she felt Hope's head rest on her shoulder.
Hope wasn't really paying much attention to the film as she was occasionally nodding off to sleep, only to be woken up by Lizzie shifting her seat or if there was a loud sound coming from the screen. Every time she became startled and woke up, she could feel the younger girl chuckling slightly.
After about an hour into the film MG leaned over to Josie. "Just going to nip to the bathroom." MG whispered before he stood up and headed out the room.
"Where's MG going?" Lizzie asked.
"Bathroom." Josie shrugged. "What's Hope doing?"
"She's fallen asleep on my shoulder. I'll wake her up soon. She needs the rest." Lizzie replied.
"Bless her. Do you want to go and get some food after this or do you just want to head home?"
"I'm up for some food. But can we see what Hope wants to do?"
"Yeah that's fine." Josie nodded before she turned her attention back to the screen. A few seconds later MG returned to his seat.
"What did I miss?" MG asked as he sat down.
"Not a lot. Hope's asleep and me and Lizzie were discussing if we wanted to grab some food or not after this." Josie replied.
"I was talking about the film… But I'm down for food." MG chuckled.
"Oh… erm not a lot. She left him in bed after she received a phone call from her husband. Now she's acting like she's been at work all afternoon." Josie explained.
"That no-good two timer." MG huffed as he inhaled a handful of popcorn. Two seats away Lizzie was getting slightly bored with the fact that Hope had fallen asleep and wasn't annoying her with the vibrator anymore. She sighed as she reached her hand between Hope's thighs and tried to pull out Hope's phone from under her leg, but the older girl woke up.
"What are you doing?" Hope hissed, trapping the younger girl's hand in-between her thighs.
"I'm bored… I wanted to have a mess around on the app and see what the different settings are." Lizzie replied as her thumb gently stroked the inside flesh of her girlfriend's thigh, rolling it in circles across the sensitive parts that she knows drives Hope crazy.
"Keep doing that and I'll show you myself." Hope hummed as she parted her legs slightly.
"Is that meant to be a threat?" Lizzie taunted, moving her hand further up the older girl's leg.
"No. A promise." Hope whimpered as her hand immediately went to Lizzie's neck and pulled her in for a kiss. After a few minutes they parted. "How much longer is the film on for?"
"I dunno. Let me ask Josie." Lizzie smiled before she shifted in her seat and leaned closer to her sister. "How much longer is left?"
"I think about 30 minutes or so, why?" Josie frowned. As soon as Hope heard Josie's reply she started pulling on the older twin's arm and out of her seat.
"Okay. Well if me and Hope aren't back by the end of the film just meet us outside." Lizzie laughed.
"Why? Where are you going?" Josie asked but Lizzie and Hope were already out of their seats and halfway down the row causing Josie to huff in annoyance.
"Where are they off to?" MG asked.
"I don't even want to know." Josie said as she shook her head, turning her attention back to the screen and leaving Hope and Lizzie to do whatever it is that she didn't want to think about.
Elsewhere in the cinema, Lizzie had pulled Hope down the stairs and into the nearest bathroom. Lizzie checked the few stalls, once satisfied that no one was around she pushed Hope into one of the stalls and up against the wall, locking the door behind them. Lizzie captured Hope's lips in her own, her fingers tangled in the auburn hair and pulled it, breaking their kiss and exposing her bare neck. She lowered her lips to the older girl's neck and started kissing it, occasionally grazing her teeth across her pulse point.
"Someone is needy today." Hope moaned as she grabbed at Lizzie's shirt, pulling her closer, wanting and needing to feel the younger girl against her own body.
"Yes, oh God, yes. Fuck. I've missed you." Lizzie hummed against her skin.
"Well who's fault is that?" Hope smirked as she pushed Lizzie away from her before she pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"Mine." Lizzie nodded as she dropped to her knees. "And I'm going to make it up to you."
"You best do." Hope groaned as Lizzie's fingers frantically tugged at buttons of Hope's jeans. Lizzie grew impatient with herself as she fumbled around the buttons, giving up and just pulled the jeans down the shorter girl's thighs.
Lizzie grinned as her eyes rested on her prize and noticed that Hope wasn't wearing any underwear. "Mmm, naughty girl. Why aren't you wearing any underwear?"
"Because I was feeling… adventurous today. Is that a problem?" Hope asked as she brought her phone closer to her own face and started the vibrator.
"Fuck… no. Definitely not a problem with me." Lizzie moaned as the vibrations slowly started to roll through her body. She took a deep breath and leaned in, rolling her tongue over Hope's soft wet folds and parted them. Lizzie hummed at the taste of sweet victory as her hands steadied themselves on Hope's thighs, pulling the older girl closer. Her tongue traced circles around the older girl's clit before it moved lower and teased her entrance before she brought it back up again.
Every time that Lizzie dropped her tongue lower, Hope would increase the speed of the vibrator. After about five minutes of teasing by both girls, Lizzie was the first to give in and take things further and soon enough she pushed two fingers deep inside Hope's hole, causing Hope to let out a filthy moan and her knees to buckle slightly, luckily they were in a tight space so she could steady herself against the opposite wall as she increased the speed of the toy inside the younger girl and let her phone drop to the floor in pure ecstasy as Lizzie thrusted her fingers inside her. It didn't take long for Hope to reach her climax and she gave everything to the younger girl without holding anything back.
Lizzie grinned against Hope's folds as she lapped up the excess juices that escaped from the older girl. Hope let her head fall back against the wall as she took deep steadying breaths. Once Lizzie was finished, she stood up and sweetly kissed her girlfriend. "Are you okay?" She asked once they parted.
"Definitely." Hope grinned. "What time is it?"
"Almost half 6, I think. Why?" Lizzie replied.
"We don't have enough time to give you what you need." Hope frowned slightly, feeling guilty about it.
"It's okay baby. The vibrator is still on and very much working. I think I'll be okay until we get home. Come on. Don't want to keep my sister waiting now, do you?" Lizzie chuckled as she helped Hope to pull her jeans back up and picked her phone up from the floor and handed it to her.
"I'm going to turn it off for a bit, okay?"
"Thanks." Lizzie smiled as she lent down and kissed the shorter girl again. "Come on. We should really get going." Lizzie laughed as she unlocked the bathroom stall door and walked out, quickly followed by Hope.
The ending credits of the film rolled across the screen and the lights slowly became brighter. Josie looked over at MG who was wiping his eyes on the sleeve of his jumper, the sight made Josie giggle slightly. "Are you seriously crying right now?" Josie asked.
"No. It's allergies." MG lied.
"You're dead, you can't have allergies." Josie laughed.
"If you tell anyone, I might have to kill you." MG laughed. "I take it Hope and Lizzie didn't come back?"
"No, but I wasn't surprised. Lizzie said that they would meet us in the foyer anyways. So we can wait another five minutes before we head out." Josie replied as she shifted in her seat to face her best friend. "I just wanted to say thank you for coming out with us today. I really appreciate it. With everything that has been happening these past few weeks, it's been nice to have someone who doesn't really have an opinion about everything that went down with me and Pen. Obviously, I know that you do have an opinion but it's nice to know that you haven't voiced it or tried to force it on me. I really do appreciate it and you." Josie's voice broke slightly but MG never questioned her about it, he just nodded and listened to his best friend talk.
"Look at the end of the day, you are my best friend, if you're hurting or in pain or just need someone to talk to then you know you can come and talk to me. I don't know the full details of what went down with you and Pen, only what people have been saying about it, but I don't know the whole thing. If you want to talk about it then I'm all ears but if you don't then I'm not going to force you to." MG replied.
"I don't even know what went down to be honest. All I know is that she told Hope she would have fucked her on the table if she wasn't in a relationship with me then later on that evening, she kissed Hope. All this went down on my birthday, Hope showed me everything. I confronted Pen about it, and she lied to me. She's been distance with me for a few weeks before hand, things didn't seem like the used to. It kinda feels like she was a completely different person, but I would have never expected her to ever lie to me. I can't be dealing with liars." Josie explained.
"Okay. I didn't expect that, and I didn't realise all that went down. I just thought you got into an argument or something. Why do you think that she was acting like a different person?"
"I don't know. There were just little changes in her personality. I couldn't… can't really explain it. It's just the way she would say something or do something. She called me Jo a few times. She never called me Jo, it's either Jojo or Josie. It not a big thing I know, but it's just… why change the way you say my name if it doesn't mean anything?" Josie replied.
"Okay, well I don't know what's going off with her, but surely you should have talked to her before jumping to conclusions? I'm not defending her actions or trying to find an explanation for her but if you had these concerns, why didn't you just ask her?"
"Because of the proof that Hope showed me. If I'm being honest, I think I was just bombarded with way too much information all at once that day. I found out that Lizzie and Hope were in a relationship and that they had been for more than 5 months but didn't tell anyone. Lizzie said that I was partly the reason why she left. Everything was just too much all at once. And thinking about it, I might have overreacted. But Penelope hasn't come to talk to me either. She hasn't tried to explain anything, so it makes me think that she actually did it. I don't know."
"Maybe she doesn't know how to? Because these past two weeks Lizzie's constantly been at your side. Why don't you try and seek her out instead? Or if you want then I can get you both in a room together, would that help you?" MG asked.
"I don't know. Can you let me think about it?" Josie replied.
"Sure thing. So… Who's Jade?" MG laughed as he stood up from his seat.
"Jade?" Josie frowned as she copied MG's movements and the two of them started walking out the screen room.
"Yeah, Jade… I'm sure that's what Hope called her. She asked if you ever texted her?"
"Oh. Jade… She's someone that we met when we went out for a family meal the day I broke up with Penelope. She gave me her number, but I never texted her. I wasn't in the mood to." Josie replied.
"And what about now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Would you want to text her now?" MG asked as he pulled the door open and let Josie exit first.
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. I don't think I have her number…" Josie wasn't paying attention to where she was walking as she had her head was turned back towards MG. She hadn't realised someone was walking into the screening and they collided, the other girl's drink split all over her white top. "Shit sorry!" Josie blurted, running her hands over the wet patches, trying to dry her shirt.
"Sorry. It was my fault; I was trying to juggle two drinks and a massive tub of popcorn whilst trying to open the door and looking at my phone. I'm so sorry." Jade replied, fumbling around picking up the crumpled-up cups and tubs from the floor. She quickly discarded everything in the bin before turning back to Josie.
"It's okay. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going either. It's my fault." Josie replied as she syphoned some magic from MG and was about to cast a spell to dry her shirt when she locked eyes on the older girl.
"It's Josie, right? We met a few weeks ago at the restaurant? I gave you my number after your sister and her girlfriend practically forced me to do it. Shit sorry. I wasn't meant to tell you that part. Anyways, you never texted me…" Jade rambled on.
"I'm going to kill Lizzie and Hope." Josie seethed to MG. "Hi Jade. Yeah, I remember. The reason why I never texted you is because, what my sister failed to mention to you, I broke up with my ex like a few hours before we went out for food. It's been a tough couple of weeks if I'm being honest." Josie replied.
"Oh. I didn't realise. I'm sorry. I wouldn't have given you my number if I had known. I totally understand not wanting to jump straight into another… whatever. But if you ever want someone to talk to, who doesn't know you or your situation then I can be that stranger." Jade nodded, walking away from the door to let other people enter the screening. Josie and MG followed.
"Thanks. Sorry, this is MG." Josie smiled, acknowledging the older boy. Just as MG was about to speak Lizzie and Hope appeared from out of the bathroom closest to them, looking slightly dishevelled and flustered.
"Hey Josie, you to ready to go?" Lizzie called as they approached. Hope elbowed her when she realised Jade was standing there as well.
"Hey Jade." Hope smiled.
"Yeah, hi. Josie come on. I need food." Lizzie stated, ignoring Jade's presence as she was more preoccupied with the fact that after they eat, she would go home, and Hope would have sex with her.
"Lizzie! Don't be so rude." Josie spat before turning her attention back to Jade. "We're going for some food, if you want to join us? It's the least I can do considering I physically bumped into you."
"I'd love to, but I'm actually here with someone. If you text me then we can arrange it for another day?" Jade smiled, openly flirting with the brunette and not caring that she was surrounded by the girl's friends.
"Are you sure your friend won't mind?" Josie smiled.
"She's not my friend." Jade stated, waving behind the group as her "friend" approached.
"Hey hun, you ready to go?" Penelope's voice caused everyone to tense up and turn around and stare at her. "Hi Jojo." Penelope smiled weakly.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Lizzie spat as she moved in front of Josie, blocking her sister from the devil.
"I'm here on a date. What does it look like I'm doing?" Penelope retorted.
"You are actually vermin. First you kiss my girlfriend, breaking my sister's heart in the process, then not even two weeks later you're already trying to get in another girl's pants? You're a joke. It's a good thing she broke up with you. If you come near her again, I won't hesitate to kill you." Lizzie seethed before she turned and pulled Josie away from the group. MG quickly followed but Hope stayed behind.
"Look Penelope. I don't agree with what you did. But if you wanted to break up with Josie then you should have just told her. You didn't have to kiss me to do it. She deserves better than that. And Jade, you can do so much better than Penelope." Hope stated before she turned on her heels and went to join the rest of the group outside.
Hope manged to get halfway through the foyer before Jade ran up behind her. "Hope wait!" Jade called as she could up to the shorter girl. "Look, give Josie my number and tell her to call me, or text me. Tell her it's not what it looks like, please? I can't get into it right now, but I promise I will tell her everything and you. You can text me as well, if you text me later, I will explain everything." Jade's eyes never left Hope's.
"Are you trying to compel me?" Hope frowned as Jade gave her a piece of paper with her number on it.
"What? No! Look … I can tell that you are the reasonable one. I just want Josie to understand what's going on. I can't say much else right now." Jade shuffled uncomfortably as she could feel Penelope's gaze on her back. "Just please. Text me later? I've got to go now." And with that Jade turned and walked back over to Penelope. Hope frowned, slightly confused by the conversation but quickly added the number to her phone before she walked outside and set the small slip on paper on fire and watched it burn in her hand.
"Took you long enough. What was that about?" Lizzie asked as she walked up to Hope with her arms folded.
"Not sure yet. I'll let you know when I find out." Hope frowned as she looked back and watched Jade disappear with Penelope into the unknown. "I'm hungry." Hope stated as she turned her attention back to the group.
"Where shall we go?" MG asked, rubbing his stomach in anticipation.
"I'm feeling burgers and fries." Lizzie replied.
"Okay we'll go to Wendy's." Josie nodded and the group made their way to the restaurant.
"You knew Josie was going to be here, didn't you?!" Jade spat at Penelope.
"Yes. I overheard her and MG talking about it this afternoon." Penelope shrugged as she made her way over to confection stand.
"Why? Why make me go through that? What is wrong with you?" Jade retorted.
"We wouldn't be in this fucking mess if it wasn't for Wendy. You can blame her. If she hadn't used that fucking glamour, then I would probably still be with Josie right now! And not stuck in this shitty theatre with you." Penelope spat, clearly annoyed with the situation and everything that had just happened.
"Well what did you want me to do?" Jade frowned.
"I don't know. But she's your fucking heretic, you need to keep better control of her! And don't let her come near me or my… Or Josie again otherwise I will kill her, and I promise you that I will."
"She's your problem as well! She's part of your coven." Jade replied.
"She stopped being part of my coven the moment she died and didn't stay buried." Penelope countered.
"Fine. I'll talk to her." Jade nodded.
"You best do. I don't want to see either of you again. Now fuck off." Penelope spat.
"I'm sorry." Jade nodded before she quickly left, leaving Penelope alone in the movie theatre. Penelope sighed before she turned to the woman behind the counter and ordered a drink and some popcorn then made her way into a random screening.
