Cosima- If you're free tomorrow night, it's my last set of the month, so...
« You sent her this ? » asked Felix watching the phone screen in a puzzled way.
« Yeah, why ? » shrugged Cosima.
« It's a bit whatever pillock... I'm just saying, don't be surprised if she doesn't show up »
« Shit, I just didn't know what to say after yesterday... Anyway, I have to go up there »
« Yeah, and be good, I have to dance tonight » said Felix, putting his hands on his hips like a diva.
The brunette claimed the stairs with a beer in her hand. She was disappointed by Delphine's no show but Felix was right, maybe it was her mistake. Tonight's set was electro/DnB, she had made the tracks the night so it was reflecting her current mood. Agitated.
The bar was full on this friday, so Cosima was Djing earlier, to keep the customers busy and make them wanna drink. She really liked this space on the plateform, she could see everything and have the furtive impression of flying.
She began the set with a cool track, to let people know it has started. The crowd looked at her and slowly came below her to dance. She never had complies about her music, on the contrary she was gaining more fans day by day.
When she checked out the crowd to see if it was moving good, she saw the blonde woman standing at the counter, looking at her. She briefly waved her and make a sign for Delphine to come. The french didn't seem to understand the arms floating in the air, so Cosima took her phone and typed a text.
Cosima- Come join me.
Delphine red the text and seemed embarrassed, but the smile of the american convinced her very quickly. While she was getting across the crowd, Cosima looked at her. She was wearing dark blue high waist jeans and a white blouse tucked in it. She loved this style on the french, it was revealing her perfect ass and her black bra. She claimed the stairs with a smile and came next to Cosima. The american was still mixing but there wasn't much to do so she took time to speak to Delphine, pulling one ear off.
« Hey, you came » she smiled.
« Yes, why wouldn't I ? »
« Well, you didn't text me back so... »
« Oh oui, sorry I had a ton of work to do... »
« It's okay^^ »
The music was loud, they were practicly talking at each other ears to be heard.
« You look amazing ! Like a goddess... »
« I don't think goddess wore jeans, Cosima^^ »
« Shame... » smirked the american.
Delphine laughed, relieved that there wasn't bad tension between them.
« So, that's where the magic happens ? » asked the blonde showing the deck and computer.
« I wouldn't say that, but yeah. Nice view, right ? »
« Oui » she smiled.
« Are you gonna dance ? »
« I don't know... I'm good here »
Cosima grinned and drank a sip of beer.
« Oh you didn't take one ? » asked the brunette showing her bottle.
« Hm, I forgot, I saw you and... »
« You saw me and you forgot everything, right ? » she smirked again.
« Non, I mean... » blushed Delphine.
« It's fine, you can drink mine, I mean, if you're not like, disgusted or whatever. »
« Non, non, it's fine » she said taking the bottle off Cosima's hand.
The brunette watched her as she put her lips on the bottleneck, it was definetly an indirect kiss.
« Hold on » said Cosima.
It was about time to drop the bass, best moment for the american girl. The crowd screamed, feeling and waiting for it. They all jumped together when the speakers vibrated. Cosima couldn't help but shake her body on the music and she noticed that Delphine was doing it too. She was so sexy, moving her hips on the rythm, eyes closed, hands in her hair. The track was doing it fine on her own so the american wame next to the blonde to dance with her. Delphine felt the brunette's presence and smiled, getting close to her. Their bodies were matching perfectly even if Cosima was shorter. Delphine was amazed by Cosima's gestures, like she was flying, so elegant in the air, so graceful. She had never seen somebody move like that...
A boy stopped by and gave them two beers with a thumbs up, apparently he was enjoying the show. Delphine drank it almost one-shot, she was really thirsty. She hadn't eat all day so she was already feeling drank...
Cosima had get back to her decks and was playing with the crowd. The blonde watched her for 30 minutes, drinking the brunette's beer without even notice. She was feeling so good here, the music, alcohol, people... So much life in here !
Finally Cosima ended her set and thanked the public with a huge smile on her face. She closed her pc and joined the blonde leaned against the rail.
« What's up » she asked.
« It was really good, you're really good at this »
« Thank you^^ And you're really hot in those jeans... » she sighed looking at it.
Her eyes stopped at the blouse, wait... Was she wearing black lingerie ?!
« Stop saying that... » begged Delphine with a weak voice.
« Oh okay. Did I upset you yesterday ? Because you left so quickly... »
« Oh mon dieu, non. I was just... It was... »
Cosima looked at her mouth, her lips. They were moving fast, forming french words...
« Cosima ? »
« Hm ? » she said, not moving.
« Stop looking at my lips, please »
« Sorry » she whispered. Suddenly she grabbed Delphine's hand and their fingers tangled together. They both felt an explosion inside, it was soft and burning at the same time. Cosima felt like waves crashing in her inside, her fingers were numb.
« I drank too much » she whispered at Delphine's ear, « I won't be able to contain myself with you, Delphine... »
The french woman wasn't saying anything, looking at their fingers.
« I don't want to lose you, Delphine, so tell me what you want... »
« I don't know... c'est n'importe quoi, je ne sais plus... (it's fucked up, I don't know anymore)
« Delphine » she said, cupping her cheeks, « tell me in english. What's wrong ? » frowned Cosima.
« I-I am lost... »
« Okay, listen, it's okay. I'm your friend, Delphine. Don't worry okay ? »
The blonde nodded, breathing slowly to caml herself. She was going to say something when Cosima dropped her fingers and stepped back.
« Shay ?! What are you doing here ? » she asked, eyes wide open.
The cute blonde was coming with a smile.
« Hey, I know it's late but I thought I could say hi after work »
« Oh okay, hi then^^ » smirked the brunette, hugging her.
Delphine looked away, she felt the anger growing but she acted like she didn't care.
« Hi Delphine ! » smiled Shay again.
« Hi, Shay... »
« Are you okay ? » asked the little blonde to the DJ before kissing her.
« Huh, yeah, obvs » frowned Cosima, embarrassed.
The french woman didn't want to stay and see them cuddle like this.
« I'm gonna go » she said to Cosima. « Have fun, bye »
She quickly walked to the stairs but the american caught her by the arm.
« Delphine ! Stay, we could drink another beer... »
« I don't think so, I still have work to do » said the french looking downstairs.
« Wait, Delphine. Look at me »
The blonde did so, unwillingly.
« What ? »
« Are you okay ? » frowned Cosima, worried.
« Oui, I'm fine. I have to go. Bye ! »
She ran away from the american, the crowd and the bar. She was really furious about Shay, herself and about Cosima. And she was drunk...
She took a cab and crashed on the sofa, too exhausted to deal with the man in her bed.
Cosima had slept with Shay after the party but all she had think about was Delphine. Why did she run away like that ? They were so close 30 seconds before... She had texted the blonde but nothing back. It was driving her crazy, or maybe women were too complicated for her.
Shay was nice and the sex was good but... Well it wasn't passion. But passion wasn't in her life right now so...
It was Monday today, and she was hoping that Delphine would stop by. She wasn't in a good mood this morning, she was fed up with the waitress job and really needed to smoke pot. The week has been plain, she had hang out with Helena and Kira at the aquarium, which was nice but she was daydreaming the entire time.
Delphine wasn't even gay, she was dating someone and was not into the brunette so... Why was she even thinking about it. Like always, nobody was coming, nobody was coming to the coffee shop, she was really bored.
It was nearly 4pm when she decided to text Delphine again.
Cosima- Delphine, talk to me. If you don't I quit my job, seriously. And you know, I need money...^^
30 seconds later, her phone buzzed. Cosima smiled and looked at the text.
Delphine- That's blackmail, tu sais ?
Cosima- I know, I will make it up to you. I miss you. How are you ?
Delphine- I miss you too. I've been better. And you ?
Cosima- Same here. Will you come today ?
Delphine- I don't think so, I have a lecture.
Cosima- Oh okay... Sarah and Fe and I are going out tomorrow, come !
Delphine- Why ?
Cosima- Why what ?
Delphine- Why do you want me to come ?
Cosima- I told you I miss you. I want to talk with you.
Delphine- Fine.
Cosima- Great !
The brunette was smiling like an idiot, the blonde was coming. She was in a great mood again.
« Bloody Christ, Cos', stop moving ! » sighed Sarah.
« Yeah yeah... »
The brunette was waiting in front of the bar for Delphine to arrive.
« Go inside, I'll wait for her » said Cosima waving her hands in the air, showing the outside area.
Felix and her sister laughed, opening the door. Cosima looked at her phone, checking the time for the 5th time. She was nervous as hell, like a fucking teenager.
« Cosima ? »
The american jumped, she was too focus to see the blonde's arrival.
« You came... » said Cosima.
« Yes, you asked me, remember?^^ »
« I know, yeah, but... »
« I'm here »
« Are you okay ? »
« Yes, a bit tired but okay »
« Come inside and joined Sarah and Felix, already drinking their second beer.
Delphine was sat next to Felix and Cosima. She could feel the smell of the brunette from here, she loved it. When she had seen her in front of the bar, every angry thoughts had disapear. She couldn't be mad at Cosima for too long, she had missed her too, four days without seeing her had been really hard.
« Here is your beer » smiled the brunette.
« Merci »
She was still feeling tensed, since they had been physically close on Friday. Delphine was still feeling Cosima's touch, like a permanent memory of electricity.
« So Delphine, are you like a secret scientist ? Working on cancer or some shit ? » asked Felix.
« Oh no, I'm a teacher at university » she blushed, embarrassed to admit that her job wasn't as cool as they thought.
« Do you like it ? »
« Well yes, athought I miss my lab sometimes... » nodded the french, thinking of the good times she had in it.
« Are you supposed to be a genius ? » frowned Sarah, like she was interrogating the blonde.
« Yes, she is » nodded Cosima with a proud and protective glance at Delphine.
« Well, you are too, geek monkey » shrugged her sister.
Delphine frowned, what did she mean by that ? Because she didn't know anything about the brunette apart from her two jobs.
« Shut up ! Fe, who was this guy with you on Friday ? »
« Oh, Ramon, Ali's drug dealer, yeah... » smiled the boy.
« And ? » encouraged her sister.
« Your sister takes drugs ?! » asked Delphine, eyes wide open.
« Well, not really » answered Felix. « And nothing, he was nice, that's all »
« Oh quit the shite, you shagged him, didn't ya ? »
« Sarah ! Maybe we could talk about those marks on your back, yeah ? » retorted her brother with a smirk.
Delphine looked at them fighting, they were really entertaining those two.
« Are you alright ? » asked Cosima in her ear.
« Oui »
« It's good to see you » the brunette smiled.
The blonde didn't answer, looking at the table.
« I wanna talk with you, there's a terrace up there, will you come with me ? »
Delphine nodded.
« Guys, we go for a smoke. Don't fight, okay ? »
Cosima took two beers at the counter before going upstairs, followed by the blonde. The outside was desert, it was calm and beautiful. The brunette put the beers on the little wall and looked at the sky.
« Is it okay if I smoke ? »
« Oh yes, please do »
« Did you smoke pot before ? » she asked lighting her joint.
« No, never » said the blonde running an hand into her hair.
« Do you... want to try it ? » proposed Cosima, handing her a beer over.
« … Okay, why not »
She earned a big smile, those she liked so much. Cosima took a puff and gave it to the blonde.
« Go slower than the cigarette, okay ? »
Delphine nodded and did so. She didn't cough and seemed to like it.
« So ? » grinned Cosima.
« So, it's pleasant » blushed the french.
Cosima laughed, there were next to each other, elbows on the rail, they could see the crowded streets.
« You seem really close to your family » said Delphine with a low voice.
« Yeah, I mean we all have our lives but we can always count on each other and we always end up crashing at each other place so... It's nice » she nodded.
« I see, my family is not really like that. It's all about decency, hidden feelings and formal meals »
« That's sucks, you must feel claustrophobic with us^^ »
« No, it's fine. I just need to adjust » she said before drinking some beer.
« Well, tell me if we're too much, okay ? It's our way to communicate but it could be stifling for someone new » said Cosima drinking and looking at Delphine. She was amazed by the elegance of the blonde everytime. She was always wearing beautiful clothes and she had this way of moving... always classy.
« Thank you, Cosima » the french smiled.
The air was filled with tension, neither of them had forgot the last time they saw each other ; and it was somehow preventing them to speak freely.
Cosima smoked lazily, eyes in emptyness, she didn't want to screw things up again.
« Cosima, I'm... I'm sorry for the last time »
The brunette looked at her with worried eyes.
« What happened ? Did I do something wrong ? Tell me... »
« Non c'est moi. It's me. »
« Delphine, talk to me, please »
« I don't know yet... » confessed the french woman nervously.
« Do you want me to back off, maybe I was too invasive. I mean... »
« No ! Look, I don't know okay, I'm lost for now, so... »
« Okay, okay Delphine. Calm down » she said facing the blonde who was leaning her back on the rail. « It's okay, take your time, I don't want you to feel lost »
The blonde took her breath, she was a little panicking, in the meantime the booze and weed had cooled her off so she was somewhere in between these two emotions. The brunette was watching her going crazy, beautiful and kind. She had her mouth open, like she was gonna ask something and the french couldn't help but look at her lips. Those same lips she wanted to touch last time at the bar and this other time in front of her flat...
« Delphine ? »
The blonde only listened to her heart racong fast and touched Cosima's lips with her forefinger. They were soft and red, really tempting. She felt an urge to kiss them, the same urge she's been affected since she had met Cosima. Suddenly, she crossed the gap between them two and crashed her lips against the american's. It was about hunger, desire and tension. She felt alcohol and weed on her mouth, a bit of perfume on Cosima's skin. The brunette was suprised but she instantly reacted to it, she wanted to kiss Delphine for so long that it was like a reflex. She felt her heart skip when she felt the blonde's tongue at the enter of her mouth. She allowed entrance and she couldn't help herself but grabbing Delphine's hips, to pull her closer. She was about to lose control, it was too much, all her body was shivering. The french finally stepped back out of breath and the two girls looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. It had been so powerful, almost cary, to explode with desire like this...
« Tu vois... Je suis perdue (See, I'm lost) » whispered Delphine, out of breath.
Cosima couldn't talk, like she was outside of her body, in shock. She had wanted to kiss the woman since the first time at the coffee shop, but this, was beyond imagination...
« I need to go, sorry for this. Bye... » said Delphine before leaving the terrace, leaving the american speechless.
Delphine didn't bother to say goodbye to Sarah and Felix. When she stood outside of the bar, the cold air slapped her in the face and she slowly realize what did happen. She could still feel Cosima's lips on hers and the taste of it... It was like nothing she had experienced before, too powerful, almost painful. And she had made a tremendous effort to stop it and be able to talk after that. What the fuck was happening ? Since when was she attracted to Cosima ? Was it just because she was bored with Henry lately ? Or because she knew Cosima was into girls ? Putain, what a mess...
Cosima came back to the table almost 15 minutes after Delphine's leaving. She needed to regain at least few thoughts before facing the two drunk idiots in the bar. Delphine had kissed her, and it was madness. She had been out with several girls to be honest, but she had never been this « upside down » by a kiss and a small touch... She knew it since the beginning, she knew that it would be unbelievable with this one. She could feel it.
« Oi, Cos' ! » smirked Sarah. « Hey, what's wrong ? »
« Nothing » groaned Cosima sitting next to Felix, asleep on the table.
« Cos', what happened ? »
« … She kissed me. Like crazy. And left »
« Shite... Was it good ? »
« Yeah, obvs ! But that's not the point »
« What's the point, then ? » asked Sarah trying to focus on her sister's problem and not all the alcohol in her blood.
« Dude, I told you. She left »
« Maybe she wanted to fucking sleep... » groaned the punky one.
« Yeah, okay. I'm not talking with you right now, you're way to drunk... I'm going home, don't forget your trashy brother here »
Cosima gently kissed Sarah on the top of her head and let money on the table for the drinks. The bar was 15 minutes walk from home so she decided to go for a walk. She knew all of this with Delphine was fucked up but she couldn't try to clear her thought right now. She wasn't usually the kind to worry about the girls she was dating so, she decided to wait and see, once again.
