Chapter 5- Maybe I'll Just Watch… For a While.

Hope couldn't settle. She tossed and turned, but eventually she got up and went to the bathroom. She used the toilet then washed her face. She needed to pull herself together. Yes, Josie had turned her on. Big time. But could she blame her? No. Not after what she did to her earlier in the night. Josie had every right for payback. And the alcohol didn't help matter much either. Hope stared at herself in the mirror. "Pull yourself together Mikaelson." She muttered. She shook her head, stood up straight and headed back into the bedroom. As she started to open the door, she heard Josie fall into bed. "Oh shit." Josie giggled.

Hope smiled to herself as she walked through the door, she wanted to ask Josie about it, but she didn't think she could hold a conversation with her, not without the urge to pounce on her. So, Hope just pretended that she didn't hear it. Hope's eyes scanned the room quickly, she noticed that the second drawer of the dresser was slightly ajar. Hope knew what Josie had done; she had taken the vibrator out. Her eyes grew wide at the thought, her breathing started to become heavy again. She forced her eyes shut and tried to push it out of her mind before she somewhat shakily climbed into Lizzie's bed. She got settled then lay there for about 20 minutes, not moving.

It wasn't long after that, that she heard the light buzz coming from the vibrator. Hope kept her eyes closed and tried to focus on her breathing. Was Josie really about to use the vibrator whilst Hope was in the next bed? Hope arousal started to build at the thought. She tried not to think about it, but the more she tried to push it out of her mind, the more force it pushed back with. She needed to see what was happening.

When Hope eventually opened her eyes, Josie was lying on top of the mattress; she had moved the quilt off herself and was moving the vibrator down her body towards her centre. She lifted the top band of her shorts up and continued to move the toy downwards, until it partially disappeared from view. The brunette tried to moan quietly as she felt the toy reach her little bundle of nerves. She applied pressure as she started to move it up and down her full length.

Hope watched her so intensely that her eyes started to flash yellow. She gripped the sheets so tight her knuckles turned white. She tried to keep her breathing even and steady as she watched the brunette attack herself with the toy. All Hope could manage to do was breathe out a little "fuck".

Josie was too enthralled with herself that she hasn't hear Hope speak. Luckily for Hope. Josie picked up her legs and bent her knees. She kept one hand on the vibrator and used her other to pull her shorts and thong down to her ankles, letting her legs fall apart as she pushed the toy deep inside her. "Ohhh god." The brunette pushed and pulled the toy inside herself in a rapid sequence, she could feel her arousal building up. She kept thrusting the vibrator inside herself, there were a few times where she had been so lost in the motions that it came all the way out, but she plunged it back into herself without even looking. When this happened, she let out a louder moan than her usual ones as the full 6 inches reached inside her and dragged back out, scrapping along her sweet, sensitive g-spot. Her moans started becoming more vocal as she was approaching her peak.

It wasn't long before Josie's arousal was at its peak. Her moans more prominent now as was her orgasm. As she thrusted the toy in for the last time, her legs snapped shut trapping her hand and the vibrator in place, it was still vibrating as she let out a "Oooohhhh Godddddd… Hope!... Fuckkkk meee… Hope... Uggghhhh" Her legs started to shake but they finally released her hand from between them. She turned off the toy, pulled it out and threw it on the floor, it landed with a dull thud. She lay there for a few minutes as she rode out the last of her orgasm waves, before she started to move off the bed, picking up the toy and taking it to the bathroom to clean it.

As Hope watched everything that Josie was doing, her own centre started becoming wet. She needed her own release, but Josie was using the vibrator, so she had to settle on using her hand. She was slightly disappointed by this, but not enough to stop her from doing it. She worked her fingers down into her shorts, she pressed her fingers against her slit, parting the lips and using her middle finger to tease her little bundle of nerves. Her finger grazed over the little nub and it felt like electricity surging through her body. She rubbed it, flicked it and teased it. Every motion she took reverberated through her. Her pleasure building. The first time she saw the toy fall out of Josie and she thrusted it back inside her without even looking, Hope almost came right then. But she forced herself to keep going. She can't look weak now, even though she's always been weak whenever she's in the vicinity of Josie.

After watching the brunette for a few more minutes, Hope moved her hand down to her opening and she could feel the thick, full wetness that had gathered. She slipped 2 fingers inside herself. She bent her fingers and dragged them along the soft, spongy wall, repeating the motion, trying to match her speed with that of Josie but it was no use. Josie's speed was just too great for Hope to keep up with, even though she did give it an extremely good try. Hope's orgasm came mere seconds after Josie's did. She stifled her moans in the pillow as she rode out the waves.

When she saw Josie starting to sit up, she stilled her own body against the mattress, her hand still inside herself. When Josie left the room, Hope finally freed her hand and brought it up to her mouth. Taking her time to slowly suck the juices from her fingers. She liked the way she tastes but there was something inside her that wanted to find out just how sweet Josie tasted. Hope moaned at the thought and dropped her hand to her side. She shuffled herself over in the bed, escaping the wet patch she had just left and forced herself to go to sleep. There was nothing else she could do about it tonight.

When Josie came back into the room, she quickly glanced over at Hope, thankful that she hadn't woken the redhead up, but also a bit disappointed by that fact as well. She quietly opened the drawer and placed the vibrator back in its rightful place and got into bed again. She felt more relaxed now, but she knew she had a hard day ahead of her. She settled back onto the bed and covered herself up, she was asleep within minutes.

It was around 9:30am when Hope woke up disorientated, her head felt heavy and her vision was blurry. "I shouldn't have drunk so much" She muttered to herself as she rubbed the sides of her temple. She hopped off the bed and headed for the shower. She jumped in and out of the shower in no time. She walked back to the bedroom and got dressed. She decided that she was going to go for a run. She was in a daze and she carried on with her own little routine, she gathered clean clothes and sat down on Josie's bed. She started getting herself dressed when the moving startled her. "oh shit." She whispered as she leapt from the bed and rushed over to the other side of the room. Hope had completely forgotten that Josie actually in the bed. "I definitely drank too much last night." She grumbled as shook her head and then proceeded to get dressed. She managed to slip out of the room without waking the sleeping girl.

She quietly slipped out of the house and started running. She didn't really like running in human form, it took too much energy out of her. She definitely preferred her wolf form. It was freeing to her, just like her mom told her that it would be. Today she missed her more than usual. She just wanted to talk to her. Hope pushed the thoughts out of her head and forced herself onwards. Her feet hitting the pavement as she charged forward, trying to forget everything that had happened last night. Hope was out of breath when she arrived back at the house. She had been gone for almost two hours.

She headed back up to the bedroom and quietly sneaked in, trying not to disturb the still sleeping girl as she got some clean clothes from the dresser. She settled on a pair of black jeans and a purple t-shirt. She gathered the clothes and headed to the bathroom for another quick shower, this time she got changed in there then headed downstairs. She settled on the sofa with a cup of coffee and watched a couple of videos on her phone.

Hope was settled on the sofa drinking her 3rd cup of coffee of the day, when she heard movement coming from upstairs. It was around 3pm when Josie came downstairs. She had really bad bed hair and she looked a mess, she had sleep lines all over her. Hope smiled at her. "You look like you slept well." Hope laughed.

"Eh? What? Erm, yeah… I did, thanks. What time is it anyways?" Josie rubbed her eyes and very ungracefully stretched as she made her way into the kitchen to make herself a coffee.

"it's… 3:07 in the afternoon." Hope stated as she checked her phone, lifting it up to show her, even though she knew that Josie couldn't see it from the other side of the room.

"Ugghh. How long have you been up for? Is my dad up yet?" Josie asked as she made her way over to the other sofa.

"I don't think he is. I've been up since 9:30 and I haven't seen him yet." Hope shrugged as she watched the brunette get settled.

Josie rolled her eyes. "I'll go check on him after I've had a shower. What have you been doing up since 9:30 anyways?"

"Well I had something to eat and I've been for a run. I've just been watching videos since I got back." Hope stated.

"Oh." Josie simply replied before turning her attention to the TV and nursing her coffee. It wasn't long before she finished her drink and stood up. "I'm going to go and have a shower."

"Erm, thank you for that … lovely piece of information." Hope laughed as she waved her off.

"My pleasure." Josie winked as she quickly turned on her heels and ventured upstairs. Hope's mouth dropped open slightly as she watched Josie flow out the room.

"I already know about some of them." Hope muttered under her breath, or so she thought.

"What?" Josie snapped her head round as she started advancing up the stairs.

OH FUCK. Hope thought. "What? I didn't say anything." Hope shrugged as she tried to bury her head in the sofa to hide the fact that her face had just flushed a scarlet shade of embarrassment.

Josie contemplated turning around and forcing a conversation out of Hope, but she decided against it, partly because she didn't have the strength but also because she couldn't quite believe what she had heard. Did Hope really just say that she knew some of her pleasures? Had Hope found her vibrator? Or even worse, was Hope awake last night when she used it? Josie's thoughts started to spiral. She forced herself upstairs and into the shower. Whilst she was in the shower, her thoughts started to spin out again but in a way that oddly turned her on. If Hope had found her vibrator, why didn't she say anything? If the roles were reversed, Josie would definitely been vocal about it. Her eyes grew wide and turned black as she just remembered SHE MOANED HOPE'S NAME LAST NIGHT. "Oh god, Josie you are such an idiot." She hit her head against the wall a few times before she pulled herself together enough to finish off her shower. What was that girl doing to her? She had been a hot mess since she saw her for the first time yesterday. Josie continued muttering to herself as she got out the shower, she wrapped a towel around herself and advanced to her bedroom.

Josie managed to get changed without incident. She pulled on a black skirt and yellow jumper. She finished changing then headed to Alaric's room. She knocked on the door before opening it. Alaric was passed out on the bed. She walked over to him and shook him. "Dad… Dad… Dad, wake up!" Josie said. He batted her hand away. She knows what he's like when he's had too much to drink, she knows that he wouldn't wake up without some… assistance. She quickly turned on her heals and headed back to the bathroom, she turned on the cold tap and let it run for a minute before she picked up a pint size glass from the window ledge. She filled it up and took it back into Alaric's room, within seconds of entering the room, she emptied the content over Alaric's face. He shot up in bed.

"WHAT THE FU…." He started to shout before he realised that it was his daughter standing in front of him with an empty glass. He collapsed back on the bed.

"Get up and have a shower, you reek of alcohol. It's almost 4pm!" Josie was pissed off. She hated seeing him like this, but he just wouldn't do anything about it. She had been picking up his alcohol-related problems for years, so she was used to it, even though it saddened her heart every time she had to 'fix him.'

"Go away." He muttered as he lay there with his head on a wet pillow.

"No. I'm not leaving until you're in the bathroom." Josie announced.

After about 5 minutes, Alaric finally relented. He grumbled as he shoved himself off the bed and headed towards his ensuite.

"I'll be downstairs, when you finally decide to grace us with your presence." Josie called after him.

About 20 minutes later Alaric came downstairs and joined the girls. He was clearly hungover. He grumbly greeted the girls as he made his way to the kitchen for a strong cup of coffee. He padded around the kitchen before he came to rest on the sofa next to Josie. He placed his cup on the table and pulled Josie into a hug. "I'm so sorry, I didn't realise you were coming home. I wouldn't have gone out drinking if I had known. I only went out to blow off steam after getting into that fight with Vardermus. I didn't mean for it to happen, but he just really pissed me off. I just don't want him to abuse the school or the students. There's something about him that just… doesn't seem right." He kissed the top of Josie's head and rubbed her arm.

Josie breathed out. "I understand, but you really need to keep your drinking under control. It makes you act like an arsehole. And I don't want you to spin out again. I have enough of that with Lizzie." She released herself from his grip. "can we go for something to eat? I'm starving." She laughed.

"Erm yeah, okay. Where do you want to go?" Alaric shrugged.

"Let's just go to the Grill. It's quick and easy and it's on the way back to school." Josie replied.

Alaric simply nodded then got up from the sofa and headed towards the door, Josie quickly followed suit. Hope was still sat on the sofa, engrossed in her phone and hadn't noticed they had gotten up.

"Are you coming Hope? … Hope!" Josie asked, she picked up one of Alaric's slippers and threw it at Hope, hitting her on the shoulder, just centimetres away from her face.

"OWW! What was that for?" Hope grimaced while she rubbed her arm.

"I had to get your attention somehow! You weren't listening to me. Now. Are you coming or not?" Josie had a slight mischievous tone in her voice as she winked at Hope.

"I… erm…" Hope swallowed. "where are we going?"

"Just to the Grill for some food. Do you want to come or not?" Josie winked again, if she kept it up Hope might think that she has some sort of eye problem.

"Yes, I erm… Yes, I'll join you." Hope's eyes flushed with lust for a few seconds before she shook her head and got up from the sofa, joining Alaric and Josie at the door. She quickly slapped Josie's arm with the slipper before she dropped it back into its rightful place. Josie playfully punched her, so Hope did the same, the repeated this a few times before Alaric finally stepped in.

"You two need to stop acting like children." He rubbed the side of his temples as he exited the house.

"She started it!" Hope exclaimed as she stuck her tongue out at the brunette. Josie punched her again, slightly harder this time, causing Hope to ever so slightly fall off balance. It took all of Hope's strength not to tackle this girl to the floor in a playful, kinky way. Because in all fairness, if Alaric wasn't there as a 'buffer' then Josie would have definitely been on the floor. But sadly for Hope she had to show a lot of self-restraint.

They all climbed into the car without further incident from Josie or Hope. Josie rode shotgun next to her dad and Hope sat in the back. She was glad for the small amount of space between her and the brunette. Hope rested her eyes and listened along to the radio as they made their way to the Grill.

Alaric, Hope and Josie arrived at the Grill around 6pm, it was slightly busier than it usually is for a Sunday, but they managed to find a table. Alaric sat on one side and the girls sat on the other. They all engaged in pleasant conversation. Alaric asking Josie about how school is going, asking about Lizzie and how all the other students are. He seemed to really miss them all, not that he would admit it to them. They ordered their meals. Josie and Hope both had a burger and fries with a milkshake each and Alaric had steak and chips with a coke.

As they patiently waited for their respective meals, Josie absentmindedly swung her legs from side to side. Every so often they bumped against Hope's, causing Hope to tense up, secretly she loved the contact, but she had to put on a brave face in front of Alaric. Eventually Hope gave in and pressed her hand onto one of Josie's knees to still her moving legs.

Josie jolted upright, her elbows fell off the table and her legs thrusted back under the seat, she choked on thin air because of the unfamiliar/familiar contact she felt on her bare knees. Josie managed to steady her hands on the table before her mouth dropped open slightly. She swallowed and forced it closed. She cleared her throat before turning to face Hope, who's hand is still on her knee. "What are you doing?" Her voice so quiet it was barely a whisper, her eyes wide… and black. Hope just side smirked at her as she kept her attention on Alaric. Josie tried not to flinch as Hope slowly started drawing patterns on her knee. It wasn't until the redhead deliberately started to inch her hand into Josie's thigh that forced her to shift in the seat, her knee's drifted apart slightly, eagerly awaiting the gently soft touch on her thighs, the arousal was slowly starting to build inside her.

Hope's hand had only made its way a quarter of the way up Josie's leg before they got interrupted, their food had arrived. Hope quickly but reluctantly released itself as she accepted her plate with a smile, thanking the waiter. Josie groaned at the loss of contact; she closed her eyes for a few seconds to allow them to return to their natural state. When she opened them again, the waiter had arrived with her food. She thanked him and took the plate.

They managed to eat their respective meals without incident. Once they had finished Josie excused herself and headed to the bathroom. She didn't want to admit it but the contact from Hope had made her wet and she needed to freshen up. Josie shuffled her way into the small bathroom. It only had 2 stalls and a sink. Josie entered one of the stalls, sat down on the toilet. She heavily breathed out. It felt like she could finally breathe again. She rested her head in her hands and tried to control her thoughts. "What the fuck just happened…" She muttered to herself.

Hope waited for about a minute before she did the same.

Hope walked in and saw that one stall was vacant, the other was occupied. She gently knocked on the occupied door. "erm, it's in use." The familiar voice of Josie rang from the other side. Hope grinned like a madman. She shuffled quietly over to the main door and locked it before returning to the side of the busy stall. It wasn't long before Josie departed from it.

Josie was fixing her skirt as she walked out the stall and at first didn't notice Hope leaning up against the stall staring at her through the mirror. When Josie finally did notice Hope she was startled. "Jeez, why do you always have to creep behind doors?" She grabbed her heart before she continued to wash her hands, staring at Hope through the mirror as she did.

"I don't creep behind doors, you do that. But hey, at least I'm wearing clothes this time." Hope winked.

"Fuck me…" Josie's mouth dropped open again. She shook her head and dried her hands before she turned to face Hope. "Okay, you need to stop doing that." She smoothed her skirt down.

"You know that's now twice you've said that to me." Hope laughed. "And stop doing what… exactly?" Hope started to close the gap between them.

"Just, erm… Just stop, flirting… with me. I, erm… I have a boyfriend." Josie breathed out; her voice was very shaky and she could feel her heart beating in her throat.

"Oh really? Because it didn't seem like that last night when you were moaning my name… Or about 20 minutes ago at the table…" Hope trailed off as she came face to face with Josie, mere centimetres away from full body contact.

Josie visibly gulped and her eyes shot wide and turned black. Her knee's felt like they were about to collapse, so she had to steady herself on the sink. "I… erm… That was… erm…" Josie couldn't take this anymore; she couldn't keep denying herself of the things she wants just because it pleases other people. She needed to take a stand, she needed to be strong and she needed Hope. She wanted Hope.

She grabbed hold of Hope's arms and pushed her up against the wall, closing the pretty non-existent space between them. Josie targeted Hope's lips in a fiery passion, not only did Hope allow her, she welcomed her. Their kiss was strong, passionate and slightly frantic. The franticness was all Josie, she was desperate. That first touch Hope had placed on her knee sparked something inside her, like a burning desire she didn't know that was missing.

Josie rolled her tongue over Hope's lips parting them slightly before thrusting her tongue inside the redhead's mouth. The soft, warm, wetness that greeted her caused a moan to slip out. She didn't really understand why she was having this reaction to Hope, but right now she really didn't care. She wanted to deep their embrace, she needed too. Her hands dropped from Hope's arms and moved down to the top of the Tribrid's trousers, looping her fingers through the belt loops on either side of her waist, pulling the redhead closer to her whilst trying to deepen the hold on her mouth.

But Hope broke their kiss by pushing her away, gently. Josie's eyes pleaded with her, but all Hope did was laugh, she put one of her hands on the brunette's face and looked into her eyes. "I will never stop… Flirting with you… Not now. Especially not after you've just shown me your true colours." Hope pattered the brunette's face slightly before she turned and headed to the door, only turning back to say "Oh, and you might want to sort your lipstick out… It looks like its smudged." Hope used her thumb to wipe away the remnants of Josie from her lips before she placed the thumb in her mouth sucking it gently as she unlocked the door. She winked at the brunette as she walked out and headed back to their table.

Josie was frozen in place as she watched Hope walk out the room, when the door closed behind Hope, she finally gave in and let herself collapse. "Fucckkk…" She said as she shuffled herself up to the wall and just sat there for a few minutes. Her thoughts raced. Her fingers traced across her lips, the thought of Hope's lips ran back into her mind as her head fell back, hitting the wall slightly. Josie finally forced herself up and walked over to the mirror. "Oh, well at least it's not too bad." Josie huffed as she pulled a paper towel from the dispenser and ran it under the tap, before bringing it to her lips so that she could wipe away the smeared lipstick marks from around her mouth. She stared at herself in the mirror again. "Pull yourself together." She shook her head and finally headed back to join Hope and Alaric.

Alaric and Hope were in a deep conversation about Hope going back to the Salvatore Boarding School and didn't notice when Josie sat down. Hope was being extremely stubborn, adamant that she wasn't going back not whilst everyone had still forgotten her. She said that it just makes her feel worse and that she needed the distance from that place. Josie just sat there and listened; grateful that she didn't have to engage in conversation, she honestly didn't think she could manage it. Alaric eventually relented because Hope was just being… well… Hope. He shook his head then waved the waiter over, he paid the bill and stood up from the table. "Right, I'm going to drop Josie back to school. Hope what do you want to do? Are you coming with or are you just going to go back to the house?"

"Erm, I will join you. I don't have anything else to do." Hope shrugged.

The three of them headed to the car in relative silence, each claiming their rightful seats. The drive to the school was uneventful. When Alaric pulled up to the gates, he turned the engine off and faced Josie. "Stay safe okay? I love you."

"I know. And I will do. Bye dad." Josie replied giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before she got out the car.

"Bye Josie!" Hope playfully sang and winked at the brunette.

Josie just rolled her eyes as she walked away. She stopped momentarily then quickly turned on her heals and skipped back over to the car. She knocked on Hope's window.

"Yes. May I help you?" Hope said with a cheeky grin, turning to face the brunette as she rolled down the window.

"Erm… Can I… Can I get your number?" Josie nervously asked, rolling her phone through her fingers.

Hope thought about it for a minute. "Sure." Hope gave Josie her number and Josie quickly texted her. Hope's phone vibrated in her pocket, she pulled it out and read the notification bar.

Josie S: Hey! ;) x

"Got it, thanks." Hope winked.

Josie grinned and quickly turned on her heals. "Bye dad!" Josie called as she made her way back to the school gates.

Alaric and Hope sat in the car as they both watched Josie walk up the school drive. Alaric was doing it to make sure Josie got into the school safe. And Hope, well, Hope just wanted to watch the brunette's small perfect ass shimmy as she walked away. Hope was transfixed. She didn't hear Alaric start the car. It wasn't until the car started reversing that Hope snapped out of her gaze. She smiled and shook her head. Hope pulled her phone out of her pocket, she unlocked her phone and clicked on the message. She was going to save Josie's number to her phone until she remembered she already had it saved from before Malivore and the fact that she had known Josie for years, so of course she had Josie's number.

The drive back to the house was a quiet one. Hope and Alaric didn't talk, they just listened to the sounds of the roads as he drove. Hope didn't want to have a conversation either, she was too lost in her thoughts. She was reliving the kiss she had with Josie. She was glad that Josie had kissed her first. She didn't she could cope if it was the other way around. At least this way she could have control of the situation, she could make the torment last longer. She needed a bit of fun in her life.
