Middle of the night

Six

Josie POV

This whole dinner thing was a bust.. my dad and mother really enjoyed Mg and me coming here was for no use.

"I think we should call it a night?" My dad asked

"Finally" I said

Lizzie sent a evil glare at me.

"Listen I'm bored" I said

"Josie where is your girlfriend? That girl penpiper , or penope. I don't remember the name" my mom says

Lizzie snorted and it was my turn to send her a evil glare.

"We broke up a while ago mom" I said

"Oh, is there anyone new?" She asked

Lizzie smirked.

"Starts with an H and ends with an ope" Lizzie says as she folding her hands

"Shut up!" I said

"Hope? Hope mikaelson?" My dad asked

"Yup" Lizzie says as she turned her smirk into a smile

"No. You aren't allowed to date Hope" he says a bit angry.

"I'm not dating Hope and if I was what's the problem in that?" I asked as I got up from the table.

"She can hurt you, she can be the reason your life ends.. her father-" he tried saying

"HER FATHER? Are you fucking serious?" I asked

"Watch your mouth" my father says

"I agree with Alaric Josie" my mom says

I raised my eye brow.

"You do need to watch your mouth but Alaric you have no right to say such things about a person. Hope and her father are two different people" my mom says as she crossed het arms.

"I don't care all that bull shit your saying.. like I said.. Josie is forbidden to date Hope.. end of story" My dad says

"Trying to be tough isn't a good look on you dad.." I said before walking out of the restaurant.

I can't believe my dad.

It's not like I had a thing for Hope or anything but why would he say a such thing about her.

I didn't know where I was going so I just walked around.

It started to get cold and by the time I looked up I was at the school

I just walked in and I seen that my family had arrived seeing as my father car was parked right outside.

I just walked in and went to the kitchen.

I was thirsty.

When I walked in I seen Hope drinking a blood bag.

I must have been starring for too long because Hope caught me.

"That's makes 3 times today" she says

She then checked her phone.

"It's late... what are you doing here?" She asked

"I was thirsty and I needed something to drink" i say

"Mmm" she says before closing the fridge.

"See you later I guess" she says as she made her way to the door.

"Wait" I said

She turned around.

"I think there's something wrong with me" I said

She looked at me confused.

"I highly doubt it" she says

"Why do I crave your taste? I have been feeling this way every since the party" I said and her eyes went up in shock.

"What?" She asked surprised

I have been saying off the chart things in just one day.

"Can we talk about this tomorrow? I have a headache" I said

"I- umm, sure" she says

That's when my father came into the kitchen.

"Hope. Don't you have a room to be in?" He asked

"Yes, I was just getting a snack" Hope says

"I hope that doesn't mean my daughter" he says before crossing his arms.

"I- I was talking about a blood bag" Hope says

"And if she was?" I asked before tilting my head.

"What?" My dad asked

"What if she was.. you know... tasting me.." I said

I was obviously still mad at my dad but maybe I shouldn't have said that.

Hope wasn't even surprised at this point.

"Hope. I don't want you near my daughter" he says to Hope.

"Sure thing" Hope says to my dad.

I walked over to Hope.

"Near and in are two different things... I hope you know that dad" I said before leaving out.

I was so mad at him for what he said about Hope that I was totally saying whatever came to mind.

It's always the nights that something happens.

I still don't even know why I care about Hope so much, I knew of the girl since forever, but now I seem more connected with her.

Hope POV
After Josie left Dr. Saltzman looked at me weirdly.

"I hope you obey by my rules Hope" he says

"Yeah. I will. I won't even think about your daughter. Not that I think about her" I said

"Good. Now you should get back to bed you have school tomorrow" he says

I just nodded before walking to my room.

What the hell was that?

'I crave your taste?'

'Tasting me'?

I never seen this side of Josie but I sure as hell love it.

I feel as if she might have feelings for me but I need to know for sure.

When I got back to my room I turned off my tv and my lights and I laid in my bed.

I needed to think about a way to see if she liked me back but I didn't want to be obsession and risk exposing my feelings even though they were completely obvious.

My phone went off.

[unknown:] don't call me a stalker but I totally did ask my sister for your number... I'm still shocked that she actually had it.

[me:] Josie?

[unknown] the one and only... well except for my bio mom.

I smiled.

This girl is really crazy. And cute.

[me:] we have school tomorrow why don't we talk about this later?

[josie:] but I want to talk with you now.

[me:] I need my sleep.

[Josie:] why?

[hope:] you know why.. school remember?

I didn't get a text back. Just left on read.

Maybe I shouldn't have done that I'm fucking tired and I needed to go to sleep. Besides Dr.saltzman said to stay away from her so that's what I plan to do.
