My True Love

Chapter 12

Hope's POV:

  
   "So how did the talk with Quinn go," Jed ask as I pull out of my family's driveway and emerge onto the town road.

   "As good as it could go. Great actually. I took Lizzie's advice and followed my gut. She said she doesn't mind waiting for me because I'm worth it. I-I never felt that way before not even when I was with Josie. No offense, Lizzie," I answer with a happy sigh and glance over to the blonde who waves me off.

"Don't worry about that, Hope. You can't control how you feel around people. Plus Josie is paying the consequences of her actions," she responds smiling at me and I give her one back before focusing back on the road.

  Yeah paying her consequences. I park on an empty spot in the parking lot before turning off my car and we all got out.

I shove my keys in my pocket before we meet up with the girls. "So where to first?" Santana questions making me glance at the others.

"Let's just walk the streets and if we see a shop we like then we'll just stop and go in," Lizzie suggests making the rest of us agree.

   The two couples clasp hands and begin walking ahead leaving Quinn and I behind them. "What's your favorite movie?" I ask breaking the silence and she looks at me.

   I clear my throat, "sorry. I know I kinda blurted that question out. I'm....I'm just trying to get to know you better." I rub the back of my neck with my cheeks getting dark.

   Quinn giggles cutely and set her hand on my arm. "It's okay, Hope. I understand. I don't really have a favorite movie. I like a few that I guess can be my favorites. There's Something About Mary. 50 first dates. She's the man. There's so much more," she tells me and I nod with a smile.

  "Those are good ones. Although I have to admit I haven't watched 50 first dates," I admit getting a gasp from her and she set her hand on her chest.

  I chuckle softly at her dramatics. "I don't know whether I should be offended or shocked. That's it, you and I are going to watch it together. And mark my words Hope Mikaelson, you will enjoy it," Quinn proudly says and I grin softly down at her.

   I raise my hands in surrender. "I suppose I don't really have a choice," I responds chuckling.

  "Nope! You don't," she retorts grinning at me. I shake my head with a soft smile.

She's making it very hard not to hold her hand. Should I ask if I can? Or is that too soon? This is all complicated for me. If I ask would that make me look dorky or stupid?

Suddenly I hear her gasp and I notice someone bumped into her. "Move out of the way then. Bitch," he grunts annoyed and rolled his eyes.

My jaw clenched in anger. "Watch it or I'll-," I get cut off by the man getting all in my face.

"You'll what? What is a little girl like you gonna do?" He taunts and I feel my eyes change with the veins crawling under my eyes.

"What the fuck?" He breathes out with his eyes widening.

   "I'll make you wish your dad's sperm fertilized another egg instead of yours," I tell him lowly in a threatening tone and he swallows nervously, "what's wrong? Not so tough now."

   "Nice one!," Violet exclaims with a cackle. I flash my fangs at him and his heartbeat begins to spike in fear. A slightly smaller hand set itself on my chest and pushed me back a bit.

  "Enough. You won't remember this conversation or ever meeting us. Get lost," Quinn steps between us and compels the guy who's eyes dilate before he blinks and walks away.
