"Hope, I can't be your friend anymore," even after weeks have passed the words still replay in my mind, the way the woman I love- I mean my bestfriend, had plainly ditched me, with no explination. I hadn't seen Josie at all in the past weeks, which is extremely odd considering we work together. It was almost as though she was ignoring me, at least in real life in my dreams that was not the case-
"Hope?" My coworker says, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I respond.
"Sorry, you just looked a little... lost" he says, I smile shyly in response, he smiles back. I get back to work, it's a Friday today and after work I'm going out on a blind date my friend Cleo set me up on, eventhough I'm still heavily hung up on Josie, I need to get over her, she fucked me over. Bad. I just can't seem to get the brunette out of my thoughts, she's there, all. the. time. Even when I'm asleep, or... not asleep. It bugs me that eventhough I'm furious at her for just leaving, I can't seem to keep her out of my head, to think that I was even considering telling her the truth about my feelings for her, I'm such an idiot.
The next time I look at the clock it's just passed 6:30 PM, which is when my shift ended. I start gathering my stuff to get ready to leave, I look out the window, rain, fanstastic, I think to myself rolling my eyes. I put on my jacket and put my computer into my bag, I'm slightly behind where I should be so I decide to just finish up during the weekend.
As I start walking toward the exit I see her. Josie, I look at her discretely, her hair is down and slightly wavy, the hair is acompanied with a plaid skirt and a beige blouse, fuck. "Why does she have to look so good?" I think to myself, then she looks back at me, immediatly she diverts her eyes away and vamps off, "She's fucking avoiding me," I mumble under my breath. I feel all the anger I have toward her, rise. I can't hold it in any longer. I make a split second decision to follow after so I can confront her, I vamp off, following the direction Josie went off in. I see her, she had started walking in a typical speed after a while so now she is just walking, I never understood the calmness walking provided her with, especially considering she was surrently drenched in water from the rain.
"Saltzman!" I yell angrily.
"What do you want Hope?" She sighs turning around, we are now the nearest we have been to eachother since that day.
"I wanna talk to you," I respond slightly less angry than before. "I wanna talk about how you left, like a little bitch," I say, the anger building right back up inside me, I drop my bag to the ground. Josie starts turning around slowly. Her hands reach her hair and she slicks the now drenched hair back.
"What did you want me to do?!" She yells, "for gods sake, Hope." she yells out, the rain poring onto her skin, as her hands continue tangeling her hair. "Fuck," she exhales, moving around slightly in stress.
"What did I want you to do?" I laugh tauntingly. "Gosh you think you handled that well!? you ARE a fucking coward, you can't even find the guts to tell me why you left. You're fucking pathe-" I yell as the rain soaks me, my hands meet my hairline.
"Jesus Hope! why cant you understand!?" she interrupts me.
"Understand what Josie?!" I yell angrily.
"That I'm fucking in love with you!" She yells.
"You're WHAT?!" I yell extremely confused, pushing the hair in my face to the side. She looks at me before turning around and starting to walk away. My mind leaps "Josie is in love with me", I smile internally. I don't even register that she's walking away. "WAIT!" I yell vamping to her.
I stop when I'm standing in front of her, I put my hands on her shoulders to stop her from moving any further. My auburn hair is so wet that it looks dark brown, her brown hair looks like a deep black in the soaking weather. Her brown eyes meet my blue, I stare deeply into hers and she returns the favor, it feels like hours pass when in reality only a few seconds do, I break the deep eye contact and my eyes flickered to her lips.
"Awh fuck it," I say before closing the distance between us, I place my arms around her shoulders, and our lips meet. Josie is clearly confused by my response but she happily kisses me back. The kiss is passionate and loving, I whimper as she slides her tounge into my mouth. The kiss only deepens as time passes and the only reason we pull apart when we finally do is because otherwise we would possibly suffocate, after pulling away we both exhale deeply, I stare up into her eyes.
"Wow-" I say my breathing still pretty heavy.
"Wow indeed," she says as her breathing starts slowing down. She reaches over to me tucking my drenched hair behind my ears, I blush. "I've wanted to do that for so long," Josie continues chuckling.
"Well, why didn't you?" I say trying to sound seductive.
"I did." She says, I look at her confused. "In my dreams." She smirks, I blush, again. "And then I would," she begins moving closer to me whispering into my ear, her tone is low and she nibbles my earlobe slightly in between words. She continues "and then I would," she moves to my other ear still keeping her words below a whisper. She continues nibbling at my ear lobe in between certain words, but now she begins moving further down, leaving a trail of kisses from my ear to my collarbone still whispering about her dreams of me. My cheeks are crimson red, I have goosebumps and I feel myself not only being wet because of the rain... which is still pouring.
I interupt Josies explanation of her dreams "Why don't you make it happened then," I say cockily. Josie raises an eyebrow at my sudden confidence but brushes it over.
"Oh I intend to." She says lowly.
