Not out (On Hold)

Get the duck off me

Josie POV

I feel Hope take my arm off her waist and softly set it on the bed. She proceeds to get out of the bed. Sleepily, I look at the time. It reads 6:08 A.M. "Hope Mikaelson, get your ass back in this bed, now" I say with my eyes closed. I hear her chuckle and flush the toilet. She washes her hands then gets back in bed with me. "You know, I thought I was the clingy one" she says. I respond with "You are. What made you think otherwise?". She shrugs her shoulders, then gives me a kiss on my forehead. I snuggle closer to her, as if I'm not already close enough.

Hope POV

I've trying to get Josie up for the 10 minutes or so, but she refuses to budge. I've tried everything, and we have class in an hour. "Alright, fine" I say, then snatch the cover off her. "Hope" she groans

Hope: "Don't "Hope" me. Get up"

Josie: "I don't wanna"

Hope: "I know, but you have to"

Josie: "No, I can ask my dad for another day off"

Hope: "You already missed yesterday"

She shrugs her shoulders. I sigh then sit next to her. "What's wrong?" I ask. She says nothing and I know it's not nothing, but I'm not gonna push her to tell me. "Okay, but I want you to know that if you need anything, I'm here. Anytime, anywhere. Okay?". She nods her head, while playing with the hem of my shirt. I unintentionally stare at her, with a little smile plastered onto my face. "What?" she asks, also with a smile, an adorable one at that. I bring my hand up to her face, and gently caress her cheek. I lean down, until our noses are almost touching. She puts her hand on the back of my neck, and pulls me into a kiss. It's slow and very passionate. It lasts until we run out of air, but I quickly crash my lips back into hers.

We pull away, but leave our foreheads connected. I whisper "I love you" and she smiles a bit. "I love you too" she says. I close my eyes, and enjoy the moment for a while. There's a knock at the door a few minutes later. I get up to get it, but when I look back at Josie, she's cuddled into a ball. I grab the blanket off the floor, and cover her  body with it. There's another knock, so I annoyedly open the door. Of course it's Lizzie

Hope: "What's up?"

Lizzie: "Where's Jo?"

Hope: "In bed"

She pushes past me and lays in the bed next to Josie

Hope: "What're you doing?"

Lizzie: "What does it look like?"

Hope: "It looks like your laying in my bed, real question is why?"

Lizzie: "Twin cuddles. You always get "Josie time", now it's my turn"

I playfully roll my eyes and Josie smiles. I say "Alright" and finish getting ready for class. Before I leave out I give Josie a kiss on the forehead and tell her to have a great day.

Josie POV
I turn to Lizzie, and ask "What's going on?". She sighs and lays her head on my shoulder

Lizzie: "It's MG..."

Josie: "Go on"

Lizzie: "I think I...I think I'm in love with him. I mean, I know that I've always loved him, but it feels like...so much more that that. I can't really explain it"

I sit up and bring her with me. I smile widely and give her a big hug

Josie: "So...are you gonna tell him?"
