Okie dokie, so here it is, usual disclaimer, I don't own the characters and all that jazztasic stuff. Thank you to all of my readers for following and reviewing.
"Hang on, just one second." She murmured, letting my hand go,flashing me a small smile, before making her way over to our half unpacked bag. She rummaged around, until she pulled out what looked like a lumpy sock, hiding whatever it was she had pulled out as she moved back onto the bed.
"Cosima, these last few months have been enlightening and terrifying and so fucking confusing, but among all of the shit that's happened, at least I got to meet you and fall in love with you." She said softly, laying as small black box on her thigh.
I let out a soft gasp, biting my lip as she continued to talk, butterflies erupting in my stomach. "For awhile, I thought for sure I was going to lose you, so when I went out and bought this, it was my last hope, I thought that maybe if I decided on this huge commitment, that karma would spare me a few points and let me keep you and I think it worked, but I was still too scared to give it to you, but now.." She paused for a moment, looking at me as if to gauge my reaction, all I could do was stare with watery eyes, while she continued on.
"Life is too short, to be afraid, and even though everything is still pretty fucked..life would be a whole lot easier to go through, if I had you by my side..so." She lifted the top, as I gazed at the ring, a soft smile on my features as I watched the sun glitter off the stone. "Cosima Niehaus, will you marry me?" She asked, pulling the ring out of the box as she looked up at me.
I smiled so brightly, I thought my cheeks were going to fall off and even with the tears that were trying to escape, I let out a soft whisper. "Yes.." As her face lit up with a grin.
She pulled the ring out of the box, sliding it onto my finger, pulling me close,before kissing me softly tears slipped down my cheeks. "I love you so much..the ring is so beautiful and I just..you are so perfect." I murmured as I pulled away and looked at the stone, my eyes flicking from it to her and back again.
"I love you too." She kissed the top of my head. "The stone is called kunzite, I found it when I was searching through gemstone meanings." I looked up at her, seeing the pink on her cheeks as she pressed forward "It's meaning is eternal love and I thought that it was fitting, because no matter what happens, to either of us, I'll love you forever and ever."
I shook my head and pulled her to me again, pressing out lips together, my fingers tangling into her hair. My heart was pounding like a drum and I could feel it in every part of me, it's beat reminding me that this was all so real.
Her hands slid up my back, the back of the sports bra in her hands, pulling me as close as she could manage, like she was anchoring herself to the moment. I let my hands slide from her hair, onto her sides, squeezing gently, eliciting a soft moan from her.
I slight shiver went down my spine at the sound, as she started pressing into me, until my back was against the pillows, her body hovering over me, her hands now on either side of my head as she pulled away from my lips, that cocky smirk on her face.
"You are so bloody beautiful and you're all mine." She murmured, the way she said it, laced with so much love and protectiveness that it wasn't like I was a possession, it was like I was a part of her she couldn't let go.
"Mm, I like the sound of that, I think I'm down for spending forever with you." I let out a soft chuckle as she grinned once more, breaking her usually dominate composure in moments like these.
I used this to my advantage, sliding my legs around her waist, using a little bit of mental math, before rolling us over, pinning her to the mattress, my thighs on either side of her waist. She looked a little shocked, but I just smirked as I pushed my hands up under her shirt, taking the material up along with them.
She lifted her arms and I slid it over her head, tugging it gently to pull it out from under her, tossing it across the room. "And you say I'm beautiful." I murmured, trailing my fingers down her chest, splaying them against her stomach as she snorted.
"I don't care if we're supposed to look alike, you're by far the most beautiful of us all, don't try arguing, it will get you no where." She chuckled softly, but she held that determined look in her eye, so I just shook my head, not bothering to argue.
"If you say so." I smiled softly, just taking her in. She laid there in silence, letting me get my fill, before her hands rested on my hips, her thumbs rubbing small circles on the skin there. I leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead, then to her nose and finally her lips, letting the sensation grip me around the middle, drawing me into her once more.
My hands moved over her chest, squeezing gently as hers moved up my back, tugging at the sports bra, making me chuckle against her lips as she growled softly. "Off." I rolled my eyes, sitting up, shivering as my core ground into her pelvic bone.
She all but tore the offending article off, pitching it off to the side, before pulling me down once more, attacking my lips. I let out a soft squeak as a chuckle rumbled in her chest, the vibrations tickling my skin, making me smile softly.
"You remind me of a cat when you chuckle like that." I murmured, making her snort once more, a brow rising up at me as I rolled my eyes. "Nevermind." I pecked her lips, before placing kisses down her cheek to her neck.
"Like, it's not a bad thing, but I'd like to think I'm a bit more badass than a house cat." She mumbled, sucking in a breath as my teeth scraped against her pulse point. It was my turn to chuckle as I paused for a moment.
"I never said house cat, I just said cat, your chuckle reminds me of a purr, well more of a chuff actually, what the tigers do." I spoke against her skin, making her shiver.
"Mm, tigers are pretty badass, I suppose I'll let you get away with that..oh..fuck.." She groaned as I bit down at the base of her neck, a smirk on my lips as I sucked at the spot, marking her. She had stopped talking now, the only noises she would make were the occasional moan or hiss as I attacked her neck.
"Those are going to look pretty later." I murmured against her ear, a rush of heat running through me as she shuddered under me, letting out a soft sound. The smirk returned to my lips as I kissed my way down her body, sliding her sweats off, leaving them in a crumpled mess at the foot of the bed with her panties.
Keeping my hands on her thighs, I brushed my lips against them, applying pressure everywhere but where she wanted it most. "Cos..stop being mean." She mumbled, her arm laid over her face.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Sarah." I said, trying not to snicker as I place a kiss just above her glistening core. Her hips jumped a bit, as she let out a frustrated groan, throwing her arm off her face, her gaze glaring down at me.
"Please.." She pleaded, much like i had the night before. I let out a soft chuckle, removing a hand from her thigh to run a finger up her slit, listening as she let out a shaky breath.
"Mm, someone's eager." I teased, before delving into her, enjoying the way she squirmed, her hands threading into my hair, gripping gently at first, tugging when I would slow down.
"Christ, Cos.." She murmured, her grip tightening as I added a few fingers into her, pumping slowly, until she tugged, making me smirk as I quickened the pace, loving the way her hips her jerk every now and again, letting me know I was hitting my mark.
I pulled away from her core, leaving my fingers to their work as I kissed back up to her lips, her arms sliding around me as our mouths fought for dominance. I won with ease, after curling my fingers, making her hips grind into my palm, applying pressure where she needed it.
"So..so close.." She groaned as I kissed at her neck, biting down as I curled my fingers again, applying enough pressure to throw her over the edge, loving the way her body shook as she latched onto me. "Cosima..oh..fuck..Cos." She ground out, as her chest heaved, my fingers stilling within her. I moved my hand, letting it rest on her side as she calmed down, a satisfied smile on my face.
Everything was perfect, until my damned phone rang. I didn't bother looking at the screen as I pressed answer, pressing it to my ear. "This better be good." I murmured as Sarah huffed below me.
"Cosima, I had heard you were better, but I almost didn't believe it, I didn't think I could stand to be hurt if I called and you weren't there." Delphine's voice drawled in the french accent I had fallen for, that now seemed to irritate me.
"Why would you care." I asked, pushing myself up and off of Sarah slowly, my brow furrowed as I sat up.
"Because I love you, Cosima, I didn't want to leave, Rachel made me." She spoke as Sarah tilted her head at me, confusion in her eyes. "She told me she wouldn't let you get better if I didn't leave."
I shook my head, gripping the phone tightly. "It doesn't matter now, I'm better and you..you haven't even crossed my mind for such a long time now, I'm with someone else, you just, don't call me again." I said, hanging up, before chucking my phone across the room.
It hit the wall, the screen shattering, but I couldn't be bothered to care. Why she would call after all this time, was beyond me and it just pissed me off. "Cos, talk to me." Sarah murmured, her hand sliding across my shoulders as I let out a sigh.
"It was Delphine, trying to, I don't even know what she was trying to do, but she managed to piss me off and.."I waved my hands around a bit, before letting them drop to my sides, I let out a huff, before leaning into her.
"It's alright, love, like you said, it doesn't matter now, right?" She said softly, and I could hear the slight worry in her words.
I shook my head, sliding my arms around her waist, pulling her closer, my face buried in the crook of her neck. "It doesn't matter, Sarah, she doesn't matter, I have you and Kira and nothing she could ever think to say would change the way I feel about you." I murmured as she squeezed me gently, nodding her head.
"Alright..I just..I don't think I would be able to stop myself from hitting her if she tried to take you from me.." She admitted softly, as I pressed a kiss to her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." I murmured, pulling away to smile at her. "I loved her, yes, but not like I love you, from the first moment we met, you were like this hurricane, you were wild and adventurous and so full of life, even if you were dealing with all this shit, you could still make jokes, and I knew from that moment that you were going t change my life, I just never expected it to be like this, but I am so glad that this all happened." I paused, lacing our fingers together as I started to pour my heart out like she had just thirty minutes ago. "You light up my life, when I was at school, I looked forward to your calls or our skype times, and when I got sick, you took care of me and I know how hard that was for you, but you stayed with me and you made sure I always had a smile on my face, even when I thought I was going to die at any time." I bit my lip, looking up at her.
"I think I loved you, even when I was with Delphine, because I felt guilty when I went out, even when you told me not to and even after I fucked up, you took me in and you made sure I was alright, you've sacrificed so much for me and I'll never be able to thank you for that, as long as I live, I will be grateful to you, but more than that, I'll love you more than anyone ever has." I finished, her gaze soft and warm as she tugged my hands gently, until I was in her arms once more.
"All of this is still sort of fucked, but we've managed to make it through..I guess things some easy for soulmates." She murmured against my ear, making my heart jump in my chest.
Thanks for reading. Sorry it's a bit short but I'm pretty sure I'm going to skip forward in time a bit for the next chapter, we'll see.
