Pretender (Posie)

Chapter 7

"Fine, I'll meet you in the car, I have to talk to someone really quickly." I said before I went to go find Penelope but she found me first.

"Your sister and Hope are about to leave, what are you still doing here?" Penelope smirked.

"Looking for you, actually," I stated looking her in the eyes

"Oh really?" She smirked again.

"Yeah I wanted to give you something," I told her handing her a piece of paper with my phone number on it.

"And what might that be?" Penelope said putting the paper in her pocket. She took a few steps closer until we were a few inches apart. I felt the heat radiating off of her body.

"Um... My phone number, " I couldn't help but glance down at her lips but quickly caught myself. She noticed and got even closer. The gap between our faces went from inches to centimeters.

"Answer something for me, Josie. Do you want to kiss me right now?" She whispered against my lips.

(With Hope and Lizzie)

"It's been 10 minutes should I go back inside and look for her?" Hope asked.

"No, let's just give her a few more minutes," Lizzie said putting on her seatbelt and adjusting her seat.

"Hey, Lizzie?"

"Yeah."

"When Penelope dared you to kiss me, did you want to?"

"Hope, of course I wanted to, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the kiss, about you. But, we can never happen, I have a boyfriend and a reputation to keep up,"

"Don't you think I know that Lizzie? Don't you think that I would have risks too?" She paused, "I like you Lizzie... a lot and I want to be with you."

"Hope..."

"Don't do that, don't pretend you don't feel anything for me. You kissed me first remember! You tell me that you can't get me off your mind, but you don't want to be with me."

"I want to be with you but I just can't."

"Whatever Lizzie, I'm going to find Josie," Hope said as she got out of the car.

"Hope!"

(Back with Penelope and Josie)

"Answer something for me, Josie. Do you want to kiss me right now?" Penelope whispered against my lips.

"Yes," I said without thinking.

Penelope connected our lips. She slowing started pushing me up against a wall in the hallway. I tangled my hand in her hair making her lips press more against mine. Penelope slid her tongue over my bottom lip.

She dragged her hand slowly up my thigh and put it under my shirt.

"Josie? Oh my God!" Hope shouted making me push Penelope off as quickly as I could.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Josie, " Penelope whispered as she walked away.

"It wasn't what it looked like, " I said.

"Really, cause it looked like Penelope Park had her tongue down your throat." I blushed when she said this.

I didn't reply

Hope raised her eyebrow "Okay... Maybe it was what it looked like. Just please don't tell anyone, especially Lizzie."

"Josie, I'm not going to rat you out this is your own personal business and I would never tell anybody if you didn't want me to."

"Thank you, " I went over to hug her. "Trust me this was a one time thing."

"Okay, just be careful, so Lizzie's has been waiting in the car for a while now we should probably head back to my house."

"Yeah."
