We could hear the noise of rain hitting the windows, as thunderclouds passed by in the grey sky. The girls had decided to stay in for the night and were relaxing in the living room. Zoe sighed as Madison leant over to take a selfie with her. Myrtle looked up from her book, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
"Maddie!" Zoe squealed, hiding her face. She wanted to play it serious, but Madison's giggles caused her to burst in laughter with her. Queenie interrupted her spell practice to glance at them and smirked, Misty turned around from her spot in front of the fireplace. Zoe was the only one who could make Madison laugh, and everyone was glad to see the blonde witch reveal her softer side.
Hearing all the noise coming from the living room, Cordelia got up from her desk to go and join them. As she appeared at the door, Misty quickly made her way to the kitchen, trying to avoid crossing paths with the Supreme.
Zoe watched as Misty vanished out of the room. She looked back at the door, only to see Cordelia walking into the room. They all calmed down a little at the sight of the headmistress.
"You don't need to stop laughing every time I come in, you know. I like to have fun too." She said, adjusting her glasses, which caused Madison to let out a small laugh.
Zoe's eyes went back to the corridor through which she'd seen Misty rush out. She frowned, wondering what this was all about. Madison whined as the brunette got up from her lap.
"I'm just getting a drink, I'll be right back. Does anyone want anything?" She asked. Cordelia and Queenie shook their heads.
"Well I'd like a beer, but apparently we don't do that here." Madison spat, giving a spiteful look at the Supreme. Cordelia simply rolled her eyes and gracefully made her way to the fireplace. Myrtle got up from the couch and seated herself in front of the piano, thinking that a little music would maybe lighten the atmosphere.
Zoe entered the kitchen, only to see Misty sitting on the counter with half a bagel in her hand.
"Want something?" The blonde asked with her mouth full. Zoe opened the fridge as a response, grabbing a bottle of Apple juice and a diet coke for Madison. She turned towards Misty.
"What was that all about?" She motioned the door behind her.
"What do you mean?" The swamp witch asked innocently.
"You know exactly what I'm taking about." She said, pouring the juice in a glass.
"Why did you leave like that? Just when Codelia comes in, you come out." She squinted her eyes suspiciously. "What a coincidence." She teased.
Misty simply shrugged her shoulders and carried on nibbling her bagel. The brunette got a bit closer.
"You can talk to me, you know. I'm here if you need, always." Zoe said softly. "What's going on with Cordelia? I promise I won't tell." She pouted childishly. Misty giggled sheepishly at Zoe's expression. She gave her puppy eyes and hugged her tightly, eyes tearing up at the witch's words.
"It's just that... Miss Cordelia... I think I... she..." Misty didn't have time to finish that Zoe's face lit up, a mix of surprise and excitement in her wide eyes. She raised her hand as she let out a gasp. Misty tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"Oh my gosh, Misty! You have a thing for Delia, don't you?" She said loudly. Misty made big gestures, begging her to stop screaming.
"Tone it down a little!" She said under her breath.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me." Zoe whispered, not caring to hide how thrilled she was. The blonde hadn't denied her words, which meant that it was true, Zoe presumed.
"Well, I... I wasn't really sure before" Misty was releaved to get it off her chest but definitely didn't want the Supreme to find out about it in any way. Her words peeked Zoe's interest, now she wanted to know each and every detail.
"I don't know, I... when I see her... I... my heart just starts banging in my chest, and when she talks to me, I can't breathe normally." Misty blushed. It was hard for her to share her feelings, but Zoe made it easy for her to express herself.
"Misty. I think you should tell her." Zoe looked her in the eye, taking a deep tone as she spoke.
Cordelia walked into the room.
"Tell her about what?"
