Heartless (On Hold)

I'm not getting undressed in front of you

Josie POV

I roll over on my bed. It feels...empty, which is weird, because I didn't go to sleep alone. I sit up and look around the room, a little confused. It was then when the smell of food infiltrated my nostrils. I push the cover off my body, then get up. I'm pretty naked, so I throw on an over sized shirt.

I make my way downstairs, and to the kitchen. It was empty, so I was about to look around the house. I got interrupted by two arms wrapping around my waist. Then I hear "Hey, you. Finally up?". I smile, then nod as a response. She kisses my cheek, then lets go. "I made breakfast, I hope you're hungry" she tells me. "I am starving. What'd you make?" I ask. "Well, I guess you'll see" she says with a soft smile, in which I return.

We each take a seat at the table. Turns out she already made my plate. I was in fact telling the truth, I am starving, so I start digging in. "God, this is so good" I say, then let out a "moan". She chuckles and continues eating.

We eat in a comfortable silence, until we finish. "I'll clean up" I tell her. She asks if I'm sure, and I respond with "Of course". I take our dishes into the kitchen. She walks upstairs, but when she comes back down she's fully dressed. I give her a confused look, and she tells me "I have an early shift today. Boss is paying me for over time, though". "That's a plus, I guess" I responded with a smile. She says a quiet "Yeah", then starts heading to the door. "Excuse me?" I say, and she stops in her tracks.

She looks a little...worried. I walk up to her, so we're face to face, then I say "How dare you try to leave without giving me a kiss?". Then I put my hand over my heart and fake offended. She visibly relaxes, then lets out a breath. I give her an amused smile, and she leans down to kiss me. I immediately kiss back. She pulls away after a minute, and whispers "I gotta go".

I reluctantly let her go. I have today off, so I can do whatever. I was thinking maybe a little grocery shopping, or regular shopping. I'm not one for shopping, but I haven't spent much time with Lizzie lately. I've been a little busy with a certain...someone.

Lizzie and I are walking through the mall. We've been shopping for maybe 45 minutes. Well, it's mostly been her dragging me to stores. "Can you please slow down?" I ask her, as she drags me by my arm.

We finally make it to a store. I look up at the sign, and it says "Victoria Secret". I immediately say "Absolutely not" and pull my arm away. Lizzie rolls her eyes and says "Oh, come on. I need...stuff and I'm sure Finch would love it if you got something". She smirks, and this time I'm the one to roll my eyes. After a while, I hesitantly agree to go into the store.

"Why do you need so much?" I ask, exhausted. It's now 4 pm, and we've been shopping since 11. "Can you stop complaining for 5 minutes?" she says, visibly irritated. She continues to walk around the store. I'm pretty sick of it, so I walk out. I decided that I am going to sit in the food court. I can't leave Lizzie here, because I drove her, and I wouldn't even if I didn't.

It takes her a while, but she finds me. "What are you doing? Why'd you leave?" she bombards me with questions. "Well, excuse me if I got a little tired" I say with a bit of an attitude. "Who pissed in your cereal?" she asks. I scoff and look away from her. "Ok, seriously. What's wrong?" she asks. "Nothing" I tell her. She looks at me like I'm an idiot. "I don't know if you've forgotten, but we're twins. I know you, Josie. Now, what's wrong?" she says seriously.

I continue to avoid eye contact. Lizzie nudges me, so I say "I'm fine, just tired...and bored". Lizzie rolls her eyes, but I can tell it's playfully. "Of course you are" she says with a small smile. "Sorry to ruin your fun" I apologize. "No, it's fine. I enjoyed our day, though" she says to me. We both share a smile
