"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun..my name is Hope Mikaelson, and this is my summer."
Hope is a young fearless independent spirit that has a hard time settling down with anyone, instead her tendencies are broken hearts, partying and...
Rafael said while approaching the girl who was watching the popcorn pop inside the microwave and blasting music through out the house with her phone that was connected to the TV. She was listening to SZA's shirt and dancing aimlessly.
"Well, since Landon was the one actually committing the crime I would go for Robin. Don't worry, he's just as equally mysterious and sexy as batman."
Hope said in a playful tone while batting her eyelashes. It was always a case of wondering if the Mikaelson girl was trying to flirt with him or not.
"That was a good answer." Hope brushed by the boy's chest barely bumping her shoulder into him and Rafael flinched from the subtle touch, while following her to the living room.
"Hey, mind grabbing the drinks? I've got the popcorn." Hope set down two bowls of popcorn on the coffee table and took a seat on the couch, scanning through her phone for the next song.
"Yeah, sure." Rafael tried to pick up the four red cups filled with what smelled like tequila and lemonade and brought them over, handing one to the auburn who flashed a smile.
"Sit down, big guy." Rafael took another cup and clinged his with Hope's both of them taking a long sip, as the living room was filled with silence except for the music playing on the background.
"I feel like you're holding back on me or something. Time to spill." Hope blurted out after her long sip.
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"
"You tell me, I'm not a mind reader." The girl said sarcastically and looked down at her cup, swirling the liquid around.
"Nah, I've just been wondering what you meant earlier today. Like you're taken or something. I thought you were a no strings attached type of girl."
"Yeah, I was until recently. I may or may not be falling for someone, although you know what they say old habits die hard and all that crap.."
Rafael was pleasantly surprised to hear about Hope's feelings but her last words got his brain recieving all the mixed signals again.
"Yeah, wanna put them to test and find out?"
"You're kidding, right?" Hope asked in all seriousness.
"Am I, though?" Rafael titled his head with an incredibly attractive smile, achieving to mess with the Mikaelson girl right back.

"Alright, I'm just messing with ya, don't sweat it."
Rafael watched Hope's features soften "Asshole.." and then both of them heard two voices at the stairs coming down and joining them in the living room. Finally the room was filled with lively laughter and chatter.
Hope tapped the space next to her on the couch that she had reserved for Josie, who smelled incredibly nice after her long shower, and Hope leaned into her slightly appreciating the scent.
