{A/N: taking a different route than OB and there will be flashbacks for some of the stuff mentioned in the chapter but I wanted to keep my mind on track as opposed to going in a way different direction}
Cosima's POV:
I don't know very many people and I've been here for two months already. At least the one person I am talking to I'm close to now. Delphine and I would see each other every day for the first week we met but then both go swamped with class work. We've text each other at least once a day just to say hi and such ever since. I want to say that when we did actually see each other last night, that I was calm and collected but that would be a lie…I got all types of flustered and had a goofy grin on my face pretty much the whole night. I don't know if she just being really nice or if she feels the same way I do but she's being really 'touchy feely'. We kissed once but we were drunk from all the red wine we stole, so I didn't really count that. I mean I'm not complaining or anything but again with the giddy school girl smile when we backed away from each other. And I totally got her high that night too.
Delphine's POV:
I'm going out with Cosima again tonight and she's having me try all sorts of new stuff lately. I mean it's not like there big and extraordinary new things but stuff that I've never done before nonetheless like mini golf, dancing, and weed for that matter. The craziest thing was obviously the weed but I thought it was kind of interesting to be honest. It got me thinking, I really wanted to kiss her, we kissed before when she was really drunk and I just laughed it I'm French and it takes a lot more than a bottle of red wine to get me drunk, I mean I was a little tipsy but I still knew what was going on I don't think Cosima thinks I remember it…I remember it. I never really considered bisexuality but I know that it's a possibility and I'm not against it, I know sexuality I fluid and well, every time I see her I want to kiss her so there you go. We're going out again tonight and she won't tell me what we're doing but whatever it is being around her I fun anyways so it's ok. Whenever we get near each other she gets really flustered and I think it's quite endearing so that's fun too I'm terrible. Nobody has ever really acted around me the way she does and I've never met anyone like her in any sense of the word…I like the way she just IS.
Cosima's POV:
What to wear, what to wear? I'm going to take Delphine to the beach because she said she's never been before. I wonder how she looks in a bikini. It's a little bit hot out so I figure it's the perfect time for her to go and have a good time. I'm also setting a picnic up for her… I hope she likes it your acting like a teenager again, trying to impress a girl Jesus Cosima, get your shit together. I told her to wear something fitting for being outside and because it's going to be at sunset it should be a bit cooler so I'm bringing blankets and sweaters. She arrives at my door and looks beautiful as ever in a loose tank top and a pair of shorts good thing I'm bringing those blankets and Let's be honest she could be in rags and look amazing so…ya. I tell her to get ready for a bit of a long night because I plan on keeping her out and she just smiles at me, that little smirk that she has when she's intrigued and excited all at the same time is adorable. I finish getting everything ready while she sits at my desk and then we're off.
Delphine's POV:
I arrive at her door and she goes wide eyed for a second then turns around really quickly before she can see the smirk I have on my face I know what I did. She tells me to be ready for a long night and I take it to a completely different place in my mind than I think she meant to direct it so I have to tell myself to stop. I'm thinking she might have taken it there too because she turned a beautiful shade of pink as I smiled at her and she gave me a toothy smile back. Cosima finished getting ready and we start walking to my car, she says she needs to drive because it's a surprise where we're headed so I let her. There is a basket in her hand so I'm assuming it's a picnic type of thing but I still haven't the slightest clue where. She…here's the thing about Cosima, she always seems so calm and collected when she off in her own little world like she is right now, on the ride to wherever we're going. I find it extremely interesting because she looks like she's thinking about something so intense but then when you say something her expression completely changes. This thing happens where her eyes kind of light up a little when she talks to me and it's the first time that's ever happened it's pretty awesome , and not for lack of a better word. We apparently arrive at our destination and I tell her that she should have told me to pay attention and she'll have to give the directions because I was looking at her pretty much the whole time between us talking and me absentmindedly staring at her out of the corner of my eye, because I don't remember how to get here quite yet.
Cosima's POV:
I can tell that Delphine is paying very close attention to me on the ride there and I'm getting a bit nervous more like freaking out inside my head, I say we're here and that seems to snap her out of her trance. She looks out at the beach and I realize we got here just in time because the sun is about to set, her eyes light up so I'm assuming she likes sunsets, and there's nobody else there, boom points for me. I tell her to get ready to take her shoes off and wait for me while I grab the basket then give her the blanket to hold. I walk to the wall before the san and put the basket there, jump down to the sand, put the blanket down, and help Delphine down as well. There are stairs to walk down to get to the sand as Delphine pointed to them but I still held my hand out to help her down because where would be the fun in the stairs so she says ,"fiinnneee" and hops down stumbling a little bit which makes me laugh a little. She sits on the blanket while I grab the basket and set up the food, the sun is just starting to set and she looks up at me smiling as I go to sit down flustered again, we're gonna have a good time.
Delphine's POV:
We get to the beach and the sky is starting to turn all sorts of pinks, yellows, and oranges. We are the only two people there and interesting thoughts start going through my head again. Cosima gets the basket out of her car and grabs a blanket out of I don't even know where which surprises me and makes me smile she thought of everything. She jumps off the wall onto the sand as I start to walk to the stairs, just before I go to tell her she's crazy for jumping she puts her hands out in a motion that tells me to jump too. It's just a couple of feet I don't think it should be too bad but I act like I'm all exasperated even though I'm totally willing and ready to hold onto her. I grab her shoulders and accidentally stumble on the way down, she laughs in my ear before letting me go, making me realize how close we are so I tense up a little bit and sit down. When she sets everything up I calm myself down and just before she sits down I smile up at her making her smile back at me and I look out at the water breaking eye contact before I can turn any more red than I already have. It's gonna be a long night I wonder if it was just me who felt the heat between us…
