Touch (Posie)

Part 1

Josie was drunk.

The school's football team had surprisingly won against Mystic Falls High and in celebration of MG scoring the winning touchdown to break the tie in the last few minutes, a party was thrown. Of course in events such as these Penelope wasn't one to miss out, especially when there was an intermingle of both schools which meant more options and variety of hook ups.

Despite the lingering rivalry between both schools one thing they knew how to do was throw a damn good party and it was probably the only time both schools squashed their differences, that and they were too drunk to care about fraternizing with the enemy until the next morning when they were combating a lingering hangover and the memories of the loss to an average team at best.

The party had kicked up around nine or so but it wasn't until Hope had came out through the thick trees with Landon beside her and some cans of beer in hand that everyone knew the Dean was knocked out and everyone was free to let loose. Being that Alaric was known to break up school parties everyone agreed to move locations deeper into the woods which benefited Mystic Fall students distance wise and everyone else because there was a lake.

Penelope for the most part did what she did best. Got drunk and flirted her way into a heated make out or two with some randoms and then dared some idiot into streaking or swinging from the high rock and into the cold lake below. They almost always did the second dare. MG had given Penelope her third cup of dark liquor right around the time Josie had made her appearance. She was dressed in a simple crop top and shorts to combat the end of summer warm air and her wavy hair was down instead of the usual ponytail.

She had come with a red cup already in hand and her twin Lizzie who almost but ran over to the beer pong table where Rafael hd strolled over long ago and Josie joined Hope and Landon and some friends. " Yo Peez you down for the lake?" MG's voice had thankfully shifted her gaze off her ex and towards her overly energized friend. He was grinning ear to ear with some kind of glitter on his cheek and it took Penelope to lean closer to notice it was in fact lipstick. She grinned.
" Yeah let's go".

The water was as cold as Penelope suspected as she dipped her legs in but it worth it in the current weather. She had been sharing a red cup with MG who in an attempt to get her drunk, ended up being the one faded. Her eyes trailed over hearing a few hoots only to see both Raf and Landon running and jumping into the lake while Hope followed suit...minus the obnoxious hoots. And then their was Josie.

Even from the other side of the lake Penelope couldn't help but watch as she reached for the hem of her shirt and slowly pulled it over her head. To anyone else it might have been a simple motion but Penelope knew better. The moment Josie started to remove her shorts her brown eyes shot over to the brunette she was seeking and she continued not once breaking eye contact. Penelope clenched her jaw.

The two of them had been broken up for a little over six months and it was no secret that Josie still harbored some sort of animosity when it came to Penelope and yet since school had started back she had been hard to read. As Penelope watched Josie laugh with Hope and everyone else she tried to tell herself that it was better this way. Her being hated by Josie and being able to at least watch her be happy even if it wasn't with her, because she did deserve that and Penelope knew that it was something she couldn't give her.

After some time of watching MG climb onto Landon's back to battle Hope and Raf in chicken, Penelope all but threw back on her shoes and moved through the trees to head back to her room. The liquor had kicked in and as fun as the party was
Penelope wanted to say that she was simply not feeling it instead of seeing the look Raf was giving Josie and knowing that she couldn't do anything about it because Josie was single. She had no reason to be jealous.

And yet she was.

Penelope had almost made it through the woods when a pair of hands wrapped around her wrist and stopped her in place. At first Penelope quickly turned in a defensive reflex only to raise an eyebrow when she came face to face with Josie. A drunken Josie to be exact. She wasn't even sure if words were said before a pair of lips pressed against her own but in the heat of the moment Penelope didn't mind at all.
Josie's fingers carelessly fumbled with the material of Penelope's shirt while pulling her closer and just for the few moments Penelope allowed her to be in control.

She tasted like a mixture alcohol and water from the lake and Penelope was almost certain this was going to end in a mess. Josie was drunk and so was she and right now every single emotion was over heightened including lust. Penelope payed attention to the way Josie's skin was soft underneath her fingertips while they slowly slid up the exposed skin of her crop top. She was aware of Josie's heavy breathing and the way her fingers disappeared into Penelope's short dark locks and how her bottom lip formed into the cute ass pout when Penelope pulled away only to gasp against her ear when her mouth found the curvature of Josie's neck and gently but down on the skin.

Penelope dominated Josie's mouth with kisses that seemed to say I miss you and their bodies and hands tangled on one another almost like saying I want you without any of those words being said. Penelope kissed the moan that escaped Josie's lips when she pressed her leg between the brunettes and it was then that Josie broke the kiss.
" You know I can't stand you right"
Penelope simply planted soft kisses along her ex's jaw, kisses that were softer then intended and she heard Josie take in a sharp breath before starting again.
" I mean it P. I hate you" The words came out with giant conviction and this time Penelope stopped and leaned back enough to look into Josie's eyes.

Penelope could have said a million things to tease Josie because it was something that she was used to doing. Making some smart ass comment and then Josie would scoff and get annoyed but instead she simply starred at Josie while a million questions ran through her head.
" If you hate me so much then why are we here? Why are you kissing me". She could see Josie working up an excuse but maybe it was because she was drunk that she opted for no smart comment. Josie's eyes dropped down to Penelope's lips as she bit down on her bottom lip.
" Because" her voice came out just above a whisper and Penelope could feel her resolve crumbling down.

Penelope had come to terms with the fact that Josie might never forgive her for breaking her heart. For making that promise back then that she'd never hurt her, telling her that she had absolutely nothing to worry about and turning around and being the exact person to break Josie.

" I know".

Josie pulled Penelope back in to claim her lips and she all but allowed it because right now all she wanted was to revel in a moment she knew that she might never get again. Because even though she knew Josie might not forgive her, she'd settle for moments like this one. At least she could show her how much she cared instead of words. Sometimes and only sometimes actions worked better.
