Posie ~ So you're a siphoner, right?

Chapter 14: Holy Fuck

Penelope's POV

Josie has been ignoring me all week. I know she needs time to think but it's making me crazy. If she doesn't want to be with me, I wish should we just put me out of my misery.

Hope has been no help either. Not telling me anything about Josie, just that she needs time to think.

I feel anxious all the time, just waiting to feel a tap on my shoulder and find a guilty-looking Josie saying that she doesn't want anything to do with me.

It's like every corner I turn, I flinch, waiting for her and her puppy dog eyes to be there with the bad news.

I gave her a week, and I know that's not that long, but I legit am going crazy. I want to give her space, I really do, but it's so hard. This anxiety pulls at my stomach 24/7, making me feel like I could throw up at any moment.

Of course, I am not going to make Jojo rush her decision, but I feel like if I talk to her, and maybe express how I am feeling, it will help her decide.

I just can't let her deny me if I had the chance to fight better. I want to fight for her, and maybe showing her my feelings is the best way to do that.

Throughout the week, I have been a coward and quickly deleted texts I planned to send to her or tried knocking at her door, but I become too scared and scamper off with my tail between my legs.

I am such a pussy.

Well, I guess you are what you eat.

This time though, I am going to be brave. For Josie and for myself. She deserves this.

I slowly walk down the hallway towards her room. I feel like I am walking to my execution. I feel like a dead man walking, and maybe I am. But I have to be strong.

Once I reach her door, I hesitate like I always do. I wait a couple of beats of silence, working up the courage to knock.

I hear faint mumbling in the room, and I immediately recognize it as Josie's soft voice, rather than Lizzie's shrill one.

I can't hear what is being said, but suddenly I perk up at my name.

"Penelope." I hear Josie groan.

So she knows I am outside I guess. I have no idea how she knows. Maybe a spell that I have yet to learn?

For a moment I freak out and want to run away. Every bone in my body tells me to run, but I can't do that to Josie. I got to show her I am dependable.

I take a deep breath to calm myself down before turning the doorknob and stepping into her room.

Holy.

Fuck.

I am greeted with the hottest sight ever.

Josie is spread, essentially naked, across her bed with her fingers teasing herself. Her body is flush and her hair is dishevelled.

Her face looks so shocked and mortified, all I can do is stare. But honestly, I don't look at her face. I am too busy looking at her hand trapped between her thighs.

It probably only takes me a tiny second to shut the door behind me, but it feels like forever. I shut it with my foot, not wanting to turn away for a second and miss the sexiest sight in front of me.

Wait. Why did she say my n-, oh!

She was touching herself to me. God that is so hot. I don't think I have been so horny my whole life and it really turned on like a switch. 0 to 100.
