Chapter 8- Things Always Work Out... In the End.
It was around 10:30pm when Hope and Josie arrived back at Alaric's. His car was in the drive but there were no lights on. Hope got her key out of her bag and unlocked the door. The two girls stepped inside and the door shut softly behind them. The room was in darkness, so Hope switched the light on. Hope shrugged, took her shoes off then headed over to the kitchen. Josie pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to MG saying that she won't be back tonight and asking if he could meet her tomorrow at the Grill.
"Do you want a drink?" Hope called to Josie.
"Yeah, I'll have a coffee thanks." Josie replied.
Hope nodded and slid across the floor to the fridge. When she opened it, she saw a dinner plate with what looked like a curry. She took the food and the milk out. "I think Alaric is probably in bed. I can't believe he actually made some food. Do you want some?" Hope smiled as she turned around and saw Josie sitting at the kitchen island.
"He probably just ordered it then plated it up." Josie chuckled.
"That makes more sense. Do you want some?" Hope laughed as she put the plate in the microwave and set the timer for 5 minutes.
"Can do. I've not eaten anything since lunch." Josie shrugged.
Hope tried to do a half-exaggerated spin of shock to face Josie, but she lost her footing on the slippery floor. She fell like a sack of potatoes and landed in a heap on the floor. "Ow, okay. That hurt." She laughed as she rubbed her head.
Josie quickly ran to her side. "Oh My God! Are you okay?" The brunette seemed a little panicked.
"Yeah, I'm good, help me up?" Hope said with a devilish smile.
Josie held out her hand to help Hope up. Hope took hold of Josie's hand and started to get up, but she had other plans. The redhead pulled the brunette on top of her. Josie landed between Hope's legs, she face-planted on Hope's chest. "Oh shit." Josie mumbled as she started to push herself up onto her arms. "You did that on purpose!" Josie playfully punched Hope in the left arm.
Hope knocked Josie's arm from under her, causing the brunette to face-plant Hope's chest again. "And?" Hope smirked.
"Stop doing that." Josie shook her head, causing a small moan to escape from Hope's mouth. Josie smiled at the sound.
"Never." Hope smiled. She opened her mouth to speak again but the microwave beeped. "Ugh." She rolled over so she was on top of Josie, kissed her cheek and stood up. She walked over to the microwave and took the food out. Hope reached into a cupboard and picked a bowl up. She split her dinner up and put half of it into the bowl. She placed both the plate and bowl on the island and continued to make two cups of coffee. Hope flawlessly moved around Josie who was still lying on the floor. Eventually Hope looked down at the girl on the floor. "Are you going to get up or are you just going to eat your food down there?" Hope winked.
Josie huffed and got herself up from the floor. "Thanks for your help." She said as she rolled her eyes at Hope.
"Oh, it's my pleasure." Hope raised her eyebrow and smiled at the younger girl. They both walked around to the other side of the kitchen island and sat down to eat. After they finished eating, Josie cleared away their pots and washed them. Hope moved over to the sofa and sat down. Josie made 2 fresh cups of coffee and brought them over. She handed one to Hope and placed the other one on the coffee table before she moved swiftly across the room and disappeared behind the second mystery door adjacent to the stairs, she re-emerged a few minutes later with a couple of DVDs.
"What do you want to watch? I've got Rent, Mamma Mia, or Pitch Perfect." Josie smiled as she skipped over to the Tribrid.
"Musicals? Really?" Hope shook her head but smiled. "Isn't Rent that gay one?"
"Rent isn't gay. Yes, it does have LGBT+ characters, but it's a story about a group of friends that go through a lot of difficult problems throughout a year. It touches on the subject of AIDs and HIV, about Love and loss and friendships. It's beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. It's one of my all-time favourite films." Josie spoke passionately about the film.
"It sounds sad and we've had enough of that today. Why don't we just watch Pitch Perfect. I like that one." Hope laughed. "Plus, Brittany Snow is hot."
"She is." Josie nodded and puts the disk in and switches the TV on. She turned around, bit her lip and frowned slightly. She couldn't decide where to sit. On one hand she probably should sit by herself because she needed to stretch out and she might fall asleep, like she usually does when she watches films. But on the other hand, she wanted to be close to Hope. Her eyes flickered between the two sofas. She got lost in her debate that she didn't hear Hope talking. It was only when a small pillow hit her that Josie snapped out of her trance. "What was that for?" Josie scowled.
"You have been standing there for like 3 minutes. Not moving. Your coffee has probably gone cold. And your blocking my view. Now are you going to sit down?" Hope mused.
"You're so mean." Josie pouted as she folded her arms across her body and tapped her foot slightly.
"Oh, you love it. Now come and sit down. I just want to stare at Brittany." Hope laughed as she patted a spot on the sofa next to her.
Josie huffed and shook her head, but she relented and sat down next to Hope, leaving a couple of inches distance between them. Hope stretched out her legs across Josie's lap as she leaned back into the arm of the sofa. Josie rested her hands on the redhead's legs. After a while Josie started to absentmindedly caress Hope's knee. Josie was so engrossed in the film that she didn't hear Hope's small moans.
Hope was loving the contact, but she broke it. She shuffled in her seat and put her feet on the floor before she stood up and went upstairs. Hope went to her bedroom and got changed, she put on a vest top and a pair of shorts. She went into the bathroom and used the toilet before she picked up a blanket from Caroline's bed. She gathered it together and took it downstairs and re-joined Josie on the sofa. The Tribrid covered them both with the blanket and returned to her original position.
"I wondered where you went. I missed you." Josie smiled slightly before she turned her attention back to the film.
"I wasn't even gone for five minutes. That isn't enough time to miss someone." Hope smirked as she sunk into the sofa and Josie's legs.
"Would it kill you to be nice to me for more than five minutes?" Josie retorted.
"I will have to think about that one… Okay, I thought about it and it might." Hope laughed.
Josie slapped Hope's legs. "I think I will have to teach you to be nice. Or I'll just have to … what was the phrase you used earlier… Oh yeah… Cock block you myself." Josie smirked.
"You wouldn't dare." Hope's eyes narrowed.
"Watch me." Josie raised an eyebrow and laughed. She picked up Hope's legs, untangled herself and moved over to the other sofa. She winked at Hope before she turned back to the TV. Hope pouted. Josie caught the sight out of the corner of her eye, she chuckled slightly. Even though she was slightly sad that she no longer has the redhead's body heat to keep her warm. She shivered slightly against the sofa and wrapped her arm across herself.
Hope stopped watching the TV and just watched the brunette instead. After about twenty minutes, she gave in, gathered the two empty coffee cups and went to the kitchen to make fresh coffee. She filled both cups up and brought them back into the living room. She settled them both next to her as she sat on the table to face the Witch, she reached for Josie's hands and took them in her own. Josie shuffled in her seat to face Hope.
"Look, I'm sorry Jose. I'm sorry that I haven't been very nice to you these past few days. I'm just struggling. I've been so alone for the past 3 months. I miss my friends; I miss the school. But most of all… I missed you. And when I saw you on Saturday, it brought everything up. It showed me what I was missing. And I hated it because all I wanted to do was hug you, but you don't remember me. Then you turned up here after the game, and I loved seeing you. I loved spending time with you. Because I've had a crush on you since I was 14. But I don't know how to deal with my feelings. After my parents died, I swore to myself that I wasn't going to let myself get close to anyone, because they all leave me. The one thing I hate the most about all of this is that I've known you most of my life and you once knew all this about me. Apart from the crush thing, but you had a crush on me and you started a fire in my room because you slipped a note under my door then regretted it but it was too late to get it back. I wish I had chance to read that note. Because I care about you. And I … want you in my life." Hope dropped her gaze from Josie's and played with the brunette's fingers.
"So far, you've told me twice to trust you, but you've not really shown me a reason why. You know things about me that not many people do. There's something about you that's special, that's different. And I want to get to know you. But you have to let me in. Like you just have. You might have to tell me things that you've already told me before, because I don't remember them. But I want to experience new things with you as well. I want you to tell me about our past, but the past doesn't really matter that much to me. Not now. BUT you need to be nicer. I've been hurt too many times before and I don't want to go through that again." Josie spoke softly, her eyes filled with sadness.
"I'm sorry. I want to be better for you. You've started to melt my cold heart. But it's going to take time. I want you to help me to be better. I just don't want you to be mad at me." Hope brought Josie's hands up to her lips and kissed them.
"I'm not mad at you. I never was. I just think you could be a little nicer to me. That's all." Josie leaned closer to Hope. Hope closed the rest of the distance.
Hope was the one to start their kiss this time. She was gentle and she didn't rush. She slowly untangled her fingers from Josie's then brought them up to the sides of the brunette's face and rolled her thumbs along her jawline.
Josie couldn't take it; she couldn't handle the delicateness that Hope was using. She rolled her tongue over the Tribrid's bottom lip before it slipped inside her mouth. Hope moaned as their tongues met. Their tongues ebbed and flowed against each other's, but Josie broke their kiss and repositioned herself on the sofa, so she was sat with her legs stretched out and her back was pressed against the armrest. "Come here." Josie tapped her own legs. Hope pouted at the absence but quickly grinned when she realised what was happening. The redhead straddled the brunette and faced her.
They both smiled as their lips reconnected. They swiftly resumed their previous embrace. Their tongues met again. Hope leaned into Josie as her hands rested on the back of the Witch's neck. Josie moaned as her own fingers played with the bottom edges of Hope's vest, lifting it up slightly before her fingers danced across Hope's warm skin. Hope moaned at the soft contact, she pushed herself deeper into the Witch, biting her lip slightly. Josie moaned into Hope's mouth, she moved her hands further up Hope's body. Hope nodded into Josie as she released her hands from around the girl's neck and moved them to her own waist to remove her vest top and threw it on the floor in the middle of the room, she had already taken her bra off. Hope leaned in to place her lips back on Josie's, but the brunette stopped it. "Why did you stop?" Hope pouted.
"Because I want to look at you." Josie winked. Her hands started to wander across Hope's half naked body. Her fingers danced lightly across the Tribrid's stomach as they made their way up to her breasts. Both girls moaned at the contact. The Witch palmed the other girl's breasts before she took both of her nipples in between her fingers. She rolled the little nubs gently then started to apply more pressure. Hope moaned as she bent her head down and claimed Josie's lips in her own. Their kiss was passionate, desperate and feverish. Hope broke it to get some air but as she tried to return Josie had a different idea. She dropped her hands from the Tribrid's breasts and placed them on the side of Hope's body, as she bent her own knees causing the girl on top of her to shift upwards and she needed to use her arms to balance herself on the sofa. Josie placed her hands onto Hope's shorts as she lowered herself down on the sofa until her face was in line with the Tribrid's nipples and took the left one in her mouth.
Hope moaned at the sensation of the warm tongue flicking against her nipple. Josie loved hearing the other girl moan, it caused her to lightly graze the nipple with her teeth, biting it slightly before she opened her mouth wider to take more of Hope's breast in her mouth as she moved her hands into the back of Hope's shorts, feeling her bare ass. Hope's head dropped and rested on top of Josie's, she moaned loudly at the hold the Witch has on her, she could feel herself starting to get wet, all she wanted right now was for Josie's fingers to be inside her. Josie giggled as she released the Tribrid's left breast from her mouth and moved onto the right one. She gave this one the same treatment and she started to drag her nails against Hope's ass.
Neither Hope or Josie heard Alaric come down the stairs as they were too enthralled with each other. "Oh God! Hope?" Alaric yelled.
"Oh shit!" Hope responded as she threw herself over the back of the sofa.
"JOSIE!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Alaric was pissed.
Josie's face turned bright red. "Hi, Dad."
"Hope, what are you doing to my daughter?"
"Technically I wasn't doing anything TO your daughter… She was doing it to me. And anyways you're always telling me to make connections with people!" Hope called from behind the sofa. "Can you pass me my top please Josie?"
"Oh GOD! I did not need to hear that! And I meant friends! Make friends! Not sleep with my daughter! God."
Josie hurried off the sofa, picked up Hope's top and passed it over the back of the sofa. Hope rushed to put it on before she finally stood up.
"Hi, Dr Saltzman." Hope bit her bottom lip and awkwardly waved at him. She shook her head and dropped her gaze. 'Why did I just do that?' Hope was kicking herself internally.
"When did… this… happen? And Josie I thought you were dating Landon." Alaric asked as he gestured between the two girls.
Hope and Josie looked at each other, both their eyes grew wide.
"Ermmm, I don't know how to answer that." Hope stated.
"I broke up with Landon." Josie shrugged.
"Wait, what? When? Actually, I don't even want to know, forget I ever asked… But Josie, what are you doing here at…" Alaric pulled his phone out of his pocket to check the time. "At 12:13 on a school night?" Alaric shook his head.
"I came to see Hope, clearly." Josie tried to avoid eye contact.
"Okay, well you need to get back to school, before you get in trouble. Come on I'll drive you. Hope you're staying here." Alaric stated.
"I'm not going back to school tonight! I never do anything for myself! I'm either having to sort you out or Lizzie out. This is something that I wanted! I need to do me for once!" Josie was really passionate about this. But Hope's laughter broke her train. Josie turned and punched her in the arm. Hope held her hands up in defeat, but she started laughing again. "I will kill you if you don't stop laughing." Josie scowled.
"Awe I'm sorry baby. I'll stop now." Hope leaned in and kissed her.
"Oh God! Stop that! I don't need to see that." Alaric groaned, rubbed his head then stomped to the kitchen.
"Oops." Hope said as she pulled a face. Josie snickered slightly.
"He'll be fine. He'll calm down. He reacted the same way when he walked in on me and Penelope." Josie shrugged as she kissed Hope. "Are you going to come and sit down?"
"Erm… I feel safer behind the sofa." Hope chuckled.
"Awe sweetie. You're a badass Tribrid, I know you could probably take him down."
"Yeah, I've done it plenty of times." Hope winked, then finally decided to move from behind the sofa. She sat down next to Josie and took her hand in her own. Alaric came into the living room with a cup of coffee and sat down on the sofa opposite them. Staring at them, sipping his coffee. Classic overprotective dad move style.
After about five minutes of silence Alaric finally spoke. "Fine, you don't have to go back to school tonight, but you will go back in the morning. I'll drive you before I take Hope."
"Erm well, MG was going to meet me for Lunch at the Grill, and we were going to walk back to school together." Josie protested.
"And I'm guessing that you won't be coming to school either?" Alaric glared at Hope.
"I was going to find somewhere safe where I can wolf out." Hope shrugged.
"I'm not going to win this am I? Just don't rush into anything. You don't know each other, and I don't want either of you getting hurt." Alaric shook his head. He stood up and headed back upstairs.
Hope waited until Alaric was out of earshot before she turned to Josie and said "That turned me on so much. I wish I could show you just how much."
Josie looked shocked. "You got turned on by my dad?"
"Oh God no. Why do you still think that I'm attracted to your dad? I mean, I got turned on by what you did to me and then slightly more when we got caught… It was the same earlier when you kissed me in front of Maya. I just wanted to… take you right there." Hope bit her lip and her eyes turned black as she stared at Josie's soft plump lips.
"Hmmph. You are such a tease. And it was kind of… thrilling, having someone watch." Josie's eyes also turned black. They both couldn't take it anymore. They needed the contact. Their kiss was feverish but passionate. Their hands were all over each other. Hope pulled Josie on top on her and started to tug at her shirt. Josie moaned at the touch. Hope pulled Josie's shirt over her head and threw it on the floor, next to them. The redhead fumbled at the clasp of the brunette's bra; it didn't take long for the clasp to ping open. Josie moaned but then sat up, breaking their kiss.
She placed her right arm across her chest to keep the bra in place and her left hand rested on Hope's stomach. She looked down at Hope lying underneath her, "I really hate to do this but… My dad is right. We don't really know each other… Well I don't know you. But I really want too. And I don't want… this to end. I just don't want to do something we will both regret. Let's just take it slow?"
"I get it. I honestly do. I've never been with a woman before, so this is all new to me. But I care about you so much and I want to make you happy… Hopefully in more ways than one, someday. And I respect you, wholeheartedly. You guide me okay?" Hope took Josie's hand in her own and gave it a squeeze, then she helped her put her bra back on. The redhead steadied the brunette's waist as she sat up. They shared a chaste kiss. "Let's go up to bed, yeah? It's getting late now." Hope smiled as Josie stood up. Josie picked up her shirt and held her hand out for Hope. Hope took it and they walked upstairs.
"I'm just going to use the bathroom. You go ahead. I'll be in in a few." Hope smiled. And Josie walked into the bedroom. Hope entered the bathroom and used the toilet. She washed her face and stared at herself in the mirror. "You've got this. You love her. You will make her happy." She shook her head then wandered to the bedroom.
Josie had gotten changed and settled into her bed. She looked peaceful. Hope smiled, switched the lights off and headed towards Lizzie's bed. "You know, Hope, you can sleep next to me. I don't bite… That comes later." Josie chuckled slightly.
Hope grinned to herself as she changed direction and joined Josie in her bed. Hope climbed over the top of her and rolled in against the wall. Josie scooted closer to Hope, facing her and wrapped her arm around her. "Thank you for today baby. I really enjoyed it. Maya seems nice… Is she gay by any chance?"
"It's okay baby. And I think she is. She did try and hit on me the first day of school. I was flattered that someone actually noticed me, but she's not my type. And I told her as much, she didn't mind. She was grateful that I was honest. And well we've been friends ever since."
Josie tapped Hope slightly. "What do you mean she's not your type? She's absolutely stunning. And if we weren't doing… this, then I'd definitely… be too afraid to talk to her." She laughed slightly as she shook her head.
"You're my type. What do you mean, you'd be too afraid to talk to her? You seemed fine today." Hope placed a hand on Josie's cheek.
"Well, you were there. You make me feel safe." Josie leaned in and kissed Hope. "Thanks for being you."
Hope beamed. "You're welcome baby, but I'm not that special."
"Yes, you are. Never doubt yourself okay? My God, you are so warm. Hmm." Josie mused.
"It's the wolf blood in me." Hope shrugged.
"Well I love it." Josie buried her face into Hope's neck and shortly fell asleep. Hope waited until the other girl fell asleep before she did.
The girls woke up naturally around 9:30am. Hope was slightly alarmed by the fact that there was a half-sleeping girl lying up against her. It took her a few seconds to realise that it was okay and that she was safe.
"Morning beautiful." Josie softly spoke in her sleepy daze, she shuffled closer into Hope's body.
"Morning baby, sleep well?" Hope shivered as she felt Josie's breath on her neck.
"I did. One of my best nights in a long time. You?" Josie kissed Hope's neck, causing Hope to shiver again. Josie smiled at the reaction, so she did it again.
"I definitely did. Ugghh, you need to stop doing that." Hope groaned as she forced her eyes closed.
"You're gunna have to stop me." Josie smirked before she started leaving a trail of kisses along the left side of Hope's neck, leading from her collarbone up to her ear and back down again. After she did 2 laps, she stopped leaving kisses and started to roll her tongue across the Tribrid's skin. Josie heard Hope growl… actually growl. "Mmmh. Sexy." Josie laughed. She forced Hope onto her back and straddled her lap. She lent down and gave the same treatment to the right side of Hope's neck.
Hope tried her hardest not to give in, but as soon as she felt Josie's warm tongue roll along the right side of her neck, she grabbed Josie's waist and flipped her over. "Oh shit." Josie squealed. Hope's eyes turned golden; she was so turned on. Hope was feverish, she copied Josie's movements except she took it a step further and gently bit the nape of the right side of the brunette's neck. "Oh God... Hope…" Josie's hands found their way onto Hope's waist and started moving up her vest. Hope allowed it for a short while as she was a bit too preoccupied with devouring the Witch's neck. It was only when she felt Josie's soft fingers graze against her underboob, that she decided to put a stop to it. She grabbed hold of Josie's wrists and pinned them above her head with one hand. "That's not fair…." Josie only just managed to breathe out.
"You got to play last night… Now it's my turn." Hope stared into her eyes, took a deep inhale then placed an intense and passionate kiss on Josie's lips. Josie moaned lowly into Hope's mouth. Hope's tongue found its way into Josie's mouth with a welcoming grin. After a few minutes of enthralled kissing, Hope stopped it. She released her hand from Josie's wrists and trailed her hands down the sides of the brunette's body and inched the girls top up. She dropped her head and started to kiss along Josie's naval. She left a stream of kisses up her lover's body. Just before Hope reached Josie's breasts, she stopped and sat up. "Do I have your permission?" Hope asked.
Josie nodded frantically.
"I need you to verbalise it okay? Because after what we talked about last night, about taking it slow. I want to be sure that you are okay with this." Hope smile was genuine, she respected this girl that was currently lying underneath her.
"Yes. You have my permission. Wholeheartedly. Will you kiss me now?" Josie beamed as she took her top off, leaving her bare chest exposed.
Hope smiled back at her before she lent down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before she shuffled herself back down the brunette's body and picked up right where she left off. Hope kissed in between Josie's perfect breasts while she took the girls nipples between her fingers. A loud moan escaped from Josie. Hope smiled at the sound before she moved her head over to Josie's right breast. She rolled her tongue over it, flicking it, before she took her nipple in between her teeth and tugged it slightly before she sucked it into her mouth, her warm tongue danced seductively over the sensitive little nub. "Hmmmppphhh. Oh God… Hope." Josie's breathing was becoming quicker with every passing minute and motion she felt against her body. Hope released the right nipple and moved her way onto the left one and gave it the same treatment. After about five minutes Hope let the nipple fall from her mouth and she smiled at the sweaty, red-faced brunette lying underneath her.
Hope leaned down and kissed Josie again, she placed her hands on the brunette's cheeks and lifted her up to sitting, she wrapped her legs around the other girl's waist, pulling her closer. "I am so attracted to and turned on by you right now, so much more than usual. I'm so happy to be here with you right now." Hope whispered in her lover's ear.
"Oh God. You are so hot and honestly, I don't think I've ever been… dry… since I first saw you get off the coach on Saturday. Your body is amazingly beautiful, and I never want to stop touching you or watching you… Okay that sounds slightly creepy, BUT I am deeply and madly attracted to you." Josie lifted Hope's face and looked right into her ocean blue eyes. "I could get lost in your eyes." Hope smiled at Josie's statement and she kissed her again.
"Okay, I need to ask you something, before we go any further… Will you be my girlfriend?" Hope's voice quivered slightly.
"Aww baby, why are you nervous?" Josie kissed each of Hope's cheek and her forehead, before she looked in Hope's eyes again. "I will happily be your girlfriend." Josie kissed her lips, tongue included.
"Okay, so here's my other question… Can you teach me how you managed to do that thing with the vibrator?" Hope's eyes turned golden again as she recalled the images from Josie pounding herself with the purple toy. Her heart skipped a beat and she bit her own lip.
"What thing? And I still can't believe you watched me use it. I still can't believe that I didn't know that you were watching me. And I still can't believe that I moaned your name." Josie shook her head as she smiled.
"I want you to teach me how you can thrust the vibrator inside yourself without even looking. It must have come out on at least five separate occasions and you flawlessly thrusted it back inside like nothing happened… And what can I say? I love to watch. I actually pleasured myself as I watched you. I came as soon as you moaned my name. I just wanted to… do it for you. I wished it was my hand on the vibrator and not yours. Oh God. I am so turned on right now just thinking about it." Hope bit her own lip before she pulled Josie into another passionate kiss.
"Oh God. You are soo hot right now." Josie's eyes turned black. "Get it out of the drawer."
Hope had a surprised look on her beautiful face. "Are you sure?"
"A thousand percent sure. Get it. Now." Josie husked.
Hope couldn't have moved any quicker if she tried. She jumped off the bed and moved straight to the drawer and pulled the vibrator out. Her face beamed so brightly as Josie's face flushed red. She jumped right back into her spot facing Josie.
"Have you ever used a vibrator before?" Josie asked.
"You're kidding me, right?" Hope laughed. "I used yours the day after I found it. Don't worry I washed it loads, before and after." Hope placed a quick kiss on Josie's lips. "One thing that has bothered me slightly though is… Why is it here? Why isn't it at school with you?"
Josie's face flushed red again. "Erm, I used to come here when I needed space from Lizzie or my Dad. It was like my secret little spot that no-one really knew about. Apart from…"
"Penelope?" Hope raised her eyebrow in intrigue.
Josie frowned… "How do you know that name? … Oh yeah, sorry..." Josie shook her head.
Hope grinned and kissed Josie. "I'm just going to keep doing that, talking about things that you think I shouldn't know about because it's fun to watch you try and figure out how I know it." They kissed again.
"I hate you." Josie stated with the biggest grin on her face.
"I hate you too baby." Hope said as she powered on the vibrator. Josie giggled and blushed. "How do you want to do this?"
"Take your shorts off." Josie exclaimed, with a little bit too much enthusiasm.
"Will you help me?" Hope winked as she placed the vibrator on the bed next to them, leaned forward, lifting her hips away from her legs and kissed the other girl. Josie's hands found their way onto Hope's ass as she placed her thumbs in the waistband and slowly dragged them down her thighs, slowly caressing and squeezing Hope's perfect ass as she did. Hope moaned into Josie's mouth as she felt the contact on her bare ass. Hope pushed her legs straight and shimmied the shorts the rest of the way to her ankles before she sat back down again, pulling the shorts off with her own hand. Never once breaking her kiss with Josie.
"Take your top off and wrap your legs around me." Josie was seductive in her tone, but she was straight to the point; she knew what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it. Hope wholeheartedly followed the younger girl's direction.
Hope wrapped her legs around Josie and the brunette picked up the vibrator and brought it down to Hope's wet centre. Hope moaned as the cold toy vibrated against her over-sensitive bundle of nerves, she leaned into Josie and slightly bit her neck. As Josie started to move the toy against Hope, both of their phones rang.
"Fuck, just ignore them." Hope growled. Josie laughed.
"We can't baby. It's MG and Maya. MG will freak if I don't answer. He will probably ring my dad if he can't get hold of me." Josie turned off the vibrator, kissed Hope before she handed her the phone.
"Fine. But I will kill them both. I'll take my call in the hallway." Hope grumbled as she got up from the bed and headed to the door.
Hope and Maya's call:
Hope: You have some pretty shitty timing Maya.
Maya: (laughs) Hello to you to. You haven't come into school, you said you were going to text me and let me know what was happening.
Hope: Yeah well, I was just about to get fucked by a vibrator before you phoned me.
Maya: So, I'm literally cock-blocking you then? (laughs)
Hope: Yes, you are you bitch. Now what do you want?
Maya: Well it's 11am and I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch… but if your busy, then I guess not.
Hope: I can meet you at 1:30pm at the Grill, if that's okay with your highness?
Maya: That's perfect. Will Josie be joining us?
Hope: I dunno let me ask her. (To Josie: Do you wanna grab some food at the Grill with Maya?)
(Josie: Erm, what time? Because I've gotta meet MG at 1:30pm)
Hope (to Josie): Yeah, that's okay 'cause that's what time Maya will be there.
(Josie: Oh, that should be okay then. Will she be cool with MG joining?)
Hope: Will you be cool with Josie's friend joins us?
Maya: Yeah, I'm cool with that.
Hope (to Josie): Yeah, she's fine with it baby.
Hope: Okay so we're all agreed. See you at 1:30pm
Maya: Awe, why don't you call me baby?
Hope: Because you do shit like this. Right I need to get back to my sexy lover, I'll see you later, asshole.
Maya: Bye sweet.
Hope leaned against the wall after she ended the call with Maya. She was anguished by the thought of what had just happened with Josie and about the fact that Josie was more than willing to use the vibrator on her. And she really wanted it to happen, but she was also really nervous. She really wanted her first time with Josie to be special. So, she decided right then that she wasn't going to take things any further today. She wanted Josie to know the real her. In all honesty, she just wanted Josie to remember her, but she knew that would never happen. Hope shook her head and forced herself back to standing.
Josie and MG's call:
Josie: Hey MG, what's up?
MG: You haven't texted me about our plans, I've sent you like 6 messages. I got worried so I thought I'd ring you to make sure you weren't dead.
Josie: You're sweet, but I'm not dead. I've just been… busy.
MG: OH! Are you still with Hope?
Josie: Yeah. We're at my Dad's. We stayed here last night.
MG: Oh okay, so your safe then?
Josie: Yes MG, I'm safe.
MG: Okay. Cool, Cool. So, I can meet you around 1:30pm if that's still the plan?
Josie: Yeah, that's fine. At the Grill?
MG: Yeah.
Josie: One minute, MG. (Hope to Josie: Do you wanna grab some food at the Grill with Maya?)
Josie (to Hope): Erm, what time? Because I gotta meet MG at 1:30pm
(Hope: Yeah, that's okay 'cause that's what time Maya will be there.)
Josie (to Hope): Oh, that should be okay then. Will she be okay with MG joining?
(Hope: Yeah, she's fine with it baby.)
Josie: Okay MG. Hope's friend will be joining us as well.
MG: Ooo, is she hot?
Josie: Who Hope? Yeah, she is.
MG: (laughs) No, I mean her friend.
Josie: Oooo, yeah, she is. But I thought you were still crushing on Lizzie?
MG: Well, she's a bit preoccupied with Sebastian these days, she doesn't notice me.
Josie: Don't give up MG. You'll find your one, one day.
MG: Thanks Jose. Right, I'll let you get back to Hope and I'll see you both later.
Josie: See you soon MG.
Hope walked back into the bedroom when she heard Josie end the call with MG, she walked over to her and sat down on the bed, facing the other girl.
"Hey, I missed you." Josie stated with a smile.
"Sure, you did." Hope laughed as she leaned and placed a simple kiss on Josie's lips. Hope shook her head as she said, "I think I need a shower before we get ready. I'm a mess."
"I need a shower too. Why don't you use the main one, and I'll just use my Dad's? We'll be done in no time." Josie placed a hand on Hope's cheek.
"Okay, whoever finishes first makes breakfast." Hope chuckled as she winked. Hope placed a kiss on Josie's forehead before she stood up and headed towards the dresser to get some clothes. She gathered her clothes then ventured to the bathroom. Hope was in and out of the shower in no time. She didn't want to dwell on the events of the morning. Once she was finished getting dressed, she headed downstairs to start making the coffee and some breakfast for them both.
Josie, however, took slightly longer. Her thoughts were spinning. She wasn't completely sure what had just happened. She knew that she was just about to have sex with Hope for the first time and Hope really wanted it to happen. She really wanted it to happen as well. But after the phone calls, Hope's demeaner changed, it seemed like she wasn't willing anymore. Josie wanted to question her about it, but she didn't know how to bring it up. When Josie had finished showering, she got out of the shower and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the first time she had seen the state of her neck. Hope had given her several hickeys along her collarbone and up the right side of her neck. Josie's fingers lightly danced over them as she recalled the experience. She smiled then got dressed before she joined Hope downstairs. When she arrived, Hope was just finishing off making an omelette for them both. She had laid out the plates and poured two fresh cups of coffee. Josie walked over to Hope who was stood at the stove and pulled her into a hug from behind. "Hey are you okay?"
"Erm, yeah. I'm fine, are you?" Hope nodded.
"Yeah I'm good… I just wanted to ask… What happened upstairs?" Josie was feeling nervous.
Hope tapped her hand as a signal to release her arms from around her waist, Josie complied. Hope picked up the frying pan and divided the contents between the two plates. Hope walked around to the other side of the kitchen island and sat down in front of a plate. Josie just stood and stared at her, waiting for her to speak.
Hope finally breathed out. "I just had… second thoughts I guess." Hope shrugged.
"What do you mean, you had second thoughts? Why didn't you tell me about it? I want you to talk to me." Josie finally moved to join Hope on the other side of the island. She sat down next to the redhead and looked at her.
Hope stopped eating and stared straight ahead. She dropped her knife and fork on the plate and breathed. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be upset with me."
"why would I be upset?" Josie looked confused.
"I thought you'd be upset with me because I changed my mind about having sex with you." Hope had absentmindedly picked up her fork and tightened her grip on it. Josie noticed and hesitated slightly before she placed her own hand on top of Hope's.
"I am not upset with you because you didn't want to have sex. I just wished you would have told me. I have been panicking. I thought I had done something wrong. Because I know that last night, I said I wanted to take things slow and then this morning I wanted to have sex with you. I'm sorry if you received mixed signals from that." Josie sad eyes started to well up.
"No. Oh baby, no. It's definitely nothing you did… It's just after my call with Maya. It just got me thinking. As much as I want to have sex with you right now. It's not fair on you. I know pretty much everything there is to know about you, but you don't know anything about me. And that doesn't sit well with me. I want you to know me, the real me, before we…" Hope trailed off as she dropped her head.
Josie smiled as she moved her hand from Hope's up to her face. She pulled on Hope's jaw slightly causing it to turn and face her. "Hope, you are so beautiful and caring and thoughtful. And I will wait, we will wait… until you're ready. Okay?" Josie leaned in and kissed her. Josie finally started eating her breakfast after that. She felt like a weight had been lifted.
The two girls ate their breakfast then moved over to the sofa. Hope had made them both a fresh coffee and brought them with her. They sat down next to each other and talked for a while before Hope got a text.
Maya:You finished having sex yet? Because you've got an hour before you have to meet me ;) x
Hope: Fuck you. And we will be leaving soon. Hahaha x
Maya: Oh you wish you could ;) And good. I'm starving x
Hope just shook her head as she placed her phone back in the pocket before she turned to face Josie. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah just about. I'm kinda nervous though. What with MG meeting you and Maya…" Josie twisted her lips slightly.
"It'll be fine. I'll text Maya and tell her to behave. It will be fine." Hope squeezed Josie's hand before she stood up, pulling Josie up with her. "Come on. It's going to be okay." Hope smiled.
Josie groaned slightly. "If we leave, it means we have to go back to the real world. And it means that I have to go back to school as well." Josie pulled the shorter girl into a hug.
"We will see each other again. Why don't you come around at the weekend and we'll do something? We can spend the whole weekend together if you want. I might… MIGHT even let you watch Rent." Hope laughed.
The girls put their shoes on, picked up their bags and headed out the door. Hope locked the door and took Josie's hand in her own as they walked to the Grill, they talked the whole way. Well, Hope talked, and Josie listened. Josie loved it; she was finally getting to know more about Hope.
