Once she's finished getting dressed she looks at herself in the mirror.

Her hair is wavy currently and she leaves it that way because she's feeling lazy. She's wearing a black and white tuxedo that fits her perfectly a little to perfectly. The pants are a perfect fit, so is the shirt and the jacket.

She doesn't know how Lizzie does these things or knows all her sizes, the blonde even got her a bow tie. She is just having a hard time trying to get it on, not knowing how to tie one can make things difficult.

Hope tries a couple more times before giving up. She huffs and opens the door of the bathroom. When she walks out of the bathroom she keeps trying to understand the tie.

"Hey jo, do you know how to tie a bow tie by chance?" She asks before looking up at the brunette. Her throat runs dry as that fluttery feeling fills her stomach.

Josie's hair is in a simple mid pony tail.There's some shiny crescent moon looking earrings on her ears and some silver bracelets on of her arms. She is wearing a sleeveless one-shoulder, stretch lavender dress. There's a slit in it that makes her expose a lot of skin stopping mid thigh. That had to have been Lizzie's idea.

'Thank you Lizzie.'

Josie raises her gaze from the floor, after hearing her name she wasn't focused on putting on the heels her twin gave her a few minutes ago. She saw the tribrid staring at her and she watched as the girl's cheeks slowly went pink. She smiles and walks up to her.

She takes the bow tie out of Hope's hand and wraps it around the girl's neck. "You look amazing Hope." She says admiring the older girl's appearance.

Hope watches as Josie's eyes sparkle as she speaks. She couldn't stop her own eyes from slowly traveling down the brunette's face continuing their journey down her body and stopping at her long legs.

She must have been staring there for a long time because she hears the brunette clearing her throat. Her gaze snaps back to her eyes quickly. "My eyes are up here Mikaleson." She says with a small smirk.

Hope not wanting to feel embarrassed for gawking at her like food, finds the will to speak again."You look gorgeous Jo."

Hope was surprised to see the brunettes face flush. "Thank you Hope." She replies before focusing on Hope's neck."And yes I do know how to tie one. Come closer." She says.

Hope listens right away and takes two steps closing some space between them, she wants to touch her but she decides against it.

Josie starts working on the tie as Hope loses herself in brown orbs. 'Why is she so beautiful.'

Once Josie folds it and pulls it to tighten it, she cradles Hope's face, it's like second nature to her now because she finds herself doing it a lot. She doesn't mind and it doesn't look like Hope does either.

"I'm so glad your my girlfriend." She says before biting her lip nervously as if she's afraid of what the tribrid will say.

Hope watched Josie's eyes the whole time she was speaking. She can see that Josie was being honest, she listened to her heart just in case but she can tell she meant it. It's the look in her eyes, it's with pure adoration and maybe something else?

Hope can't put her finger on what it is exactly but it doesn't matter. She's happy. For the first time since in a while, she's genuinely happy, and she never thought that would happen.
