Just For a Little Bit (On Hold)

Just for a little bit

"It's ok if you do want to have sex with me. It's totally normal for girls to want that. Happens quite often" I tell her. "Oh my god" she starts, covering her face with her hands. "Stop talking" she finishes. "I'm just saying-" I start, but she cuts me off by saying "I don't care. Just stop talking". I chuckle.

A couple seconds later, she removes her hands from her face. She's tinted red, which indicates she was blushing. "So, do you or do you not want to have sex with me?" I ask. "Actually, never mind. I think I already know the answer to that" I follow. "At the moment, I don't" she tells me. "That means you do at other times" I say. She rolls her eyes. "You're not denying it, Josie" I tease. "You know, I'm really starting to regret agreeing to this" she says.

"Liar. You love being my girlfriend" I reply. "Do you love being mine?" she asks, looking at me. "Well...I don't hate it" I answer. She nods slowly, and looks away. I grab her chin gently, and make her look at me. "I'm just kidding, love" I tell her, pulling my hand away. "I'm honored to be your girlfriend" I add. "But do you love it? Because if you don't want to be, I don't want you to be" she replies. "I wouldn't've agreed if I didn't" I say. She looks away again.

"You're not giving me a clear answer" she says. "That's because I don't have one yet. Just give me a little while, and I will" I reply. She doesn't respond, so I lean down, and plant a light kiss on her cheek. "I promise" I tell her. She sighs, then says "You don't have to promise me anything". Before I can respond, she says "We're here". I look up, and see that we're at a place called the 'Mystic Grill'. Josie and I go inside, then order our food, and we both get milkshakes also.

Once we get our food, we leave. I don't know where we are, but I'm sure we're close to home. She was silently walking, which kinda bothered me, not gonna lie. "Josie?" I say. "Yea?" she replies, looking at me. "Are you ok, love?" I ask. "I'm fine" she answers. She moves closer, and slips her hand into mine. "I promise" she adds, smiling. Again, I can't help but to smile back. She interlocks our fingers, and we walk the rest of the way in silence. Josie unlocks the door, and we head upstairs.

We sit on the bed, and start eating. "So..." she starts. "So?" I say. "We still have to get to know each other, and get our stories straight, but I know you're tired, so we can do it later" she finishes. I nod, continuing to eat my food. "What do you like to do for fun?" I ask. "Um...practicing magic, and learning new spells" she answers. "What about you?" she asks. "I like to paint. Sometimes play the guitar" I answer. "The guitar? You don't seem like the type to play" she says.

I smile, but don't respond. "I, um, I play the ukulele" she tells me. "I figured you played some sort of instrument" I reply. "Why's that?" she asks. "Because you like musicals" I answer. She nods, taking a bite of her burger. I finish my food, and take care of my trash. I walk back over to the bed, but this time, I lay down. Josie continues to eat her food in silence next to me. I lay on my stomach, and close my eyes. "Can I ask you something?" she asks. "Yea" I reply.

"Why are you guys here?" she asks. "You and Faith" she follows. "Um...our family is being targeted, and they didn't want us to get hurt, so we ran. First, it was to Germany. We were there for a few months, then we were found. Then, we fled to Japan, which is where we just came from. We were there for another few months. We weren't found, but our family didn't want us involved at all, so they sent us here" I tell her. "So, you don't know how long it'll be?" she asks.

I flip onto my back, and look at the ceiling. "My dad says "Just for a little bit", but I know it'll be longer than that" I answer. "It always it" I add, though, it comes out as a whisper. I can feel the tears threatening to spill, but I won't let them. I'm stronger than that. At least that's what I tell myself. I feel her get off the bed, then a few seconds later, get back on. She lays next to me, and places her hand on the side of my face. She gently makes me look at her. "It's ok. I'm sure they're trying their best to get back to you guys" she says.

"I know they are. I just kinda wish they'd try a little harder" I reply. She lightly strokes my cheek with her thumb. "Despite everything, I'm really happy that you're here, and I'm really happy that I got to meet you" she tells me. I place my hand on hers, and let it rest there. "I know I'll miss you when you're gone" she whispers. I stare into her eyes for another few seconds, and she stares back at me. I turn my head a bit, and plant a lingering kiss on her palm.

I slowly pull her hand off my face, and just hold it. I can't help but notice how soft they are. "At least I got an amazing girlfriend out of it, right?" I say, smiling. A small smile tugs at her lips. "Yea" she replies. "Nap time?" I ask, making her chuckle. "Go to sleep, weirdo" she says. "You're going to sleep with me" I tell her, pulling her down. Now, her head is on my chest, and my arms are around her body. She moves so she's comfortable, and wraps her arms around me also.

Josie POV

"Wake up, lovebirds" I hear. My eyes flutter open, and I see Faith and Kaylee. I look down, and notice that I'm still laying on Hope. I get up, and stretch. "Dinner's ready, so wake her and come down" Faith tells me. Before I can respond, they leave. I gently shake her, but that didn't work earlier, so I do it a bit quicker. Eventually, her eyes open. "Morning" I joke, smiling a bit. "Morning" she replies, sitting up. "Um, they're waiting for us downstairs for dinner" I tell her. "Ok" she mumbles.

She starts to rub her eyes. "How was the nap?" I ask. "Great. Probably the best sleep I've gotten in a while" she answers. Fuck, her morning voice is so hot. I mean, I knew already, from this morning, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Shit, what am I talking about? "What are you staring at, creep?" she asks, though, the smile on her face tells me she's joking. "Um...nothing" I answer, looking away, and clearing my throat. "Come on" she says, getting up.

I stand, but she goes over to her bag instead of the door. I watch her every move. After a minute or so of digging around, she stands. I see another shirt in her hand. She walks over to the bed, and puts the new shirt there. She starts to lift the shirt she already has on over her head, and I feel like I should look away, or leave, but I can't bring myself to do so. I could only see her muscular back, but it was a sexy back. The sexiest back I've ever seen.

She was about to put in the new shirt, but stopped. She stared at it for a moment, then turned around. I immediately looked her up and down. I mean, she looks good with her shirt on, but with it off...that's a whole other type of hot. "Like what you see, love?" she asks, walking closer. "Mhm" I hum, still staring at her body. "Why don't you do something about it then?" she asks in a low tone. Her voice is already deep, since she just woke up, so that just added to it.

It wasn't until I finally tore my eyes away from her body that I noticed how close she was. Her eyes felt way more compelling, now more than ever. Before I could stop myself, I leaned forward and kissed her. She immediately kissed back, and wrapped her arms around my waist. Our lips didn't move at all. We just stayed still, and enjoyed the kiss. Eventually, we pulled away. We were both silent for about 10 seconds. Though, she broke it by saying "That wasn't bad, was it?". I could tell she was a little scared.

"N-no, it was...it was good" I tell her. She smiles, and a second later, her lips are back on mine. This time, our lips move in sync. I move one of my hands to the back of her neck, and pull her closer. She starts walking backwards, and pulling me with her. Though, when we make it to the bed, she turns us around. She gently pushes me back, onto the bed, but quickly climbs on top of me. She starts kissing all over my neck, but, out of nowhere, she stops. I almost let out a little whine.

"I'm not going to far, am I?" she asks. "No, you're good" I answer, pulling her into another kiss. I quickly flip us, so I'm straddling her waist. I pull out of the kiss, and start lifting my shirt. Once it's off, I throw it onto the ground. She studies my body, slightly panting, as am I. She looks back into my eyes with a small smile. She flips us again, and immediately starts kissing my chest. She was leaving a number of love bites, and small hickeys. She reached behind my back, and started to unclip my bra.

Double update because it's Pride Month 🙂
