Day One:

Golden curls, eyes she could drown in, a voice sweet as honey...Cosima sat up in bed. Shit. Her dreams were filled with Delphine. How is this possibly happening? They only just met! She took a deep breath. Okay. I don't have feelings...i can't have feelings! I don't even know anything about her except her pure beauty. Cosima decided to keep her emotional distance from Delphine.

Just friends.

Delphine was telling herself the exact same thing. She couldn't avoid this forever, she was basically living with this girl for an entire week. It was time to face the music and try to interact with Cosima without making a fool out of herself. She heard a door close down the hall. Footsteps. The stopped. A knock on the door.

"Hey, uh...you awake?" It was Cosima. The sound of her slightly raspy morning voice filled Delphine's ears and it encapsulated her thoughts for a brief moment.

"Yeah, I...uh, what do you normally do for breakfast?" Delphine wasn't hungry.

"We have cereal." It was more of a suggestion on Cosima's part.

"Cool. I'll be down in a minute." Delphine got up and made sure she looked presentable in the mirror. What is your problem? Why do you suddenly care about how you look?

Within five minutes, the blonde and the brunette sat opposite each other at the kitchen table. Each had a bowl of cereal in front of her and they both tried making small talk.

"So...do you have a boyfriend?" Cosima asked nervously.

"Nope...single." Delphine shortly answered. "Yourself?"

"Ditto." Cosima nodded coolly. Both girls avoided the sexual orientation question. I mean, who asks that in this kind of situation? They both asked herself.

Delphine broke the silence after taking a spoonful of cheerios. "So tell me more about your..science experiments?"

"Oh yeah. Well, I plan on going to college next year to study biology. That's the short answer. I'm kind a geek monkey about this stuff, I like to go in the backyard and collect or observe little organisms like worms and bugs. Then I take them into my lab and...collect research I guess." Cosima hoped she wasn't bragging.

"That's actually incredibly fascinating." Delphine responded.

"Really? You think?" Cosima's face lit up. When she realized the magnitude of her response however, the brunette sunk into her chair and took a bite of her frosted flakes.

"Certainly," said Delphine. "I really enjoy life sciences too. I was actually looking into possibly majoring in immunology or something."

"That's totally awesome. Maybe we could like...hang out in my lab and make crazy science while you're here!"

"I think that would be really cool. Let's do it." Delphine smiled. Cosima giggled. Both hearts fluttered. Two stomachs dropped.

"So anyways.." Delphine redirected the question. "What else do you do for fun around here?"

"My parents don't know about my little weed stash in the basement...we could always hit that up if you're into that thing of course." Cosima smirked in that adorable way.

"I've never tried it before but...sure why not? This week was already shaping up to be one of the most interesting weeks either girl had ever had.

"You know," Cosima started, "my parents have hired countless babysitters for me and none of them have been as cool as you. Or...as cute." Cosima grinned and Delphine looked up and smiled.

"Really? Thank you. You're not so bad yourself." Delphine tried to remain calm.

Cosima chuckled and then said, "How about we rent a shit load of movies today? We can spend all day on the couch."

Delphine pondered for a moment. "Yeah, sounds nice."

Later that night

"Okay okay okay you can choose the next one." Cosima tried to look mad but failed. She was too cute.

"Well jeeze, you only picked the last three! Enough of the action movies, how about..hmm..The Notebook?"

"...I hate the Notebook." Cosima succeeded at her look of boredom.

"And I'm not a fan of the X-Men series." Delphine shot back.

"Touche. Fine. We can watch your stupid movie." Cosima put the DVD on and moved back to the couch. The girls were on opposite sides of the couch, neither wanted to make a move. As the film went on, legs became entangled-in a friendly way. The way good friends sit. Delphine was staring at Cosima.

"What are you looking at?" Cosima was confused.

"I just.." Gulp. "You have really pretty eyes... is all." Delphine smiled. Cosima blushed, smiled and looked down.

"Thanks. You have...you got some nice hair dude." They laughed. When their eyes met, however, they stopped laughing. It was silent for a minute as they both admired the other. Cosima broke the silence. "What is happening?"

"Something that probably shouldn't.." Eye contact remained unbroken.

"I'm sorry, I have to..uh...I'm gonna...goodnight." Cosima got up and went upstairs.

"Wait, Cosima, I'm sorry!" Merde.

She pushed too hard and now all chances of getting closer to the short, brunette cutie have been destroyed. But...why did that just happen? Cosima seemed interested. Maybe signs were misread. "You have cool hair." Crap. That's not an advance. Now I've gone and made a fool out of myself. Why does she have to be so attractive?
