THE ART OF LOVE
This is the second chapter I hope you like it. All comments and recommendations are welcome.
After I met Delphine all of us went for some drinks, Scott only drank beer he's not a guy who likes alcohol too much, Bradley took vodka and Delphine and I had wine.
- So Delphine tell us how is being studying in France? -Scott couldn't stop asking her questions and he couldn't take his eyes out of her.
- Come on Scott! You've been asking questions the hole night stop it.! - I said making a strange gesture.
- No no, its okay don't worry. -Delphine answered gently. - It's you know like... Being in every school but I don't know how to express this, France has so many things and its such a romantic place that you can get inspiration from everywhere. -She suspired when she finished.
- Okay fine humm ... - Bradley looked at our vessels and said. - I think we need more drinks, Scott come with me.
They went to the bar and we saw how they were waiting for someone to ask them what they wanted. Delphine who was in front of me came to sit aside me. She cleared her throat and laugh a little.
- I like your voice it is very beautiful, now I see why you're studying music.
For some reason I was really nervous since she came by my side and specially when she started to speak to me. Yes we talked when we met a few hours ago and ... when we were drinking but we weren't alone there were Scott and Bradley. The only thing I could manage to do was smile but I wanted to tell her something.
- Cosima? - I heard her say. - Are, are you ok?
- Yes, obvs totally fine. - The words finally came out from my mouth. - And thanks for the compliment. - I was stuttering!. - I ... I like your hair.
- Really? Haha thanks. - She smiled.
- Oh sorry! That was out of place.
- Actually, that was kind of cute. - We both giggled. Before I could say anything else, she passed her arm above my shoulder and surcharge it in the wall's corner.
OMG!. - I thought. - Hope Bradley and Scott will have a delay over there.
Delphine and I were talking about ourselves, asking each other questions of how we were doing at school or at other activities, stuff like that. For a moment we got silent just looking at each others eyes, like we did before but then Delphine was the one who broke the silence when she started singing.
- Show me, show me, show me, how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream she said ...
- Wow and you told me you liked my voice when you sound much better than me. - I replied
- Hey! Come on. - She started blushing. - Do you like to dance?.
- Wait you wanna dance?. - I asked her.
- Yeah it's my favorite song but I want you to dance with me so would you give me the honor?. - She stood up quickly from the table and extended her hand to me.
I took it and we went to the dance floor, both of us were singing and jumping and screaming with the music but, in a moment, a really embarrassing moment I did a bad step and I was going to fail. It didn't happen, Delphine caught me with one hand in my waist and another in the back of my neck. We did it again, the eye contact. I don't even know why I didn't realize how beautiful her eyes were, brown but the colors were clarifying slowly to green and golden and they had sparks.
There was again, the connection everything seemed to be disappearing around us, I felt how our faces were more close and close every second.
What's happening to me? I told myself I just met her a few hours ago.
I took a step behind causing Delphine to give up my waist and neck but instead she reached for my hand.
- You, you must be careful. - She smiled.
- Yeah sorry, I loose my equilibrium. Better we return to our table.
- Uhmm yes, yes, after you. - The look on her face was like if she were confused about something, maybe as I was.
We walked to our table and the guys and drinks were there.
- Were you having fun?. - Bradley asked.
- Yes, completely. - I couldn't stop smiling just of remembering the great time I had with Delphine.
- Hey it's getting really late so I think we shall go - Scott said standing up and taking his things.
Before my band's performance and before Bradley took Delphine from the airport, he asked me for my keys to bring his things to my place, he told me he was staying for a few days, because he already found a new dormitory. Honestly it was okay if he decided to stay more. Delphine however hadn't had a place to live for the period of time she would be at school. I offered her mine the only problem is, that there are only two bedrooms and by the time Bradley would live with me she had to choose with who she was sharing.
- You can stay with me of you want. - I said
- Yes thank you.
- And what's the problem of staying with me?. - Bradley replied with a smirk on his face.
- If you can't remember we're brothers and when we were sharing a room you were a complete mess.
- Touché, good night ladies.
Delphine and I entered to the room closing the door behind.
- Thanks for let me stay with you.
- Oh! Don't worry. - I smiled at her, and she did it back.
- Where can I change my clo... - I interrupted her and said:
- In the bathroom is over there.
She did her way to it and let the door half closed. A few minutes later I started pulling my clothes off when I noticed that she changed for her pajamas very quickly. You wanna now how?. Well I turned to my back to see if I could take my bra off when I saw her standing in the corner of the bathroom. Yes she caught me in bra.
- Cosima sorry!. - She covered her eyes when she knew I was watching her with a surprised face. I rapidly took a shirt and covered myself.
I laughed but told her: - Haha don't worry you can see if you want. I'm dressed now. - What distracted I was that I took her shirt. I was dressing her shirt!.
- I humm I forgot my shirt in the bed I was coming for it. - She said pointing to me.
- Oh. Sorry haha just give me a second to find mine.
- Actually you look, very well in it. I have more I can take one of them. - she said.
I don't know why I was so exited of having her shirt but I tried to hid it.
- Really?.
- Yes Cos ... ima.
- You can call me Cos if you want.
We went to bed, each one on her side. I couldn't think on anything that wasn't Delphine, the dance we had together,that fact that I was going to fail over her, that she saw me in bra and that I was wearing her shirt, I could smell her scent on it.
- Cosima?. - I heard a voice behind me.
- Yes?
- I have a confession to make.
- What is it?. - I answered
- I think you're very beautiful.
We both laughed so hard that my stomach hurt.
- What's so funny?. - She said. - It is true and I could see you're very well worked.
- Oh my god how did you notice that I'm worked? You were looking for your shirt.
- There is my confession. As you saw I was standing in the corner of the bathroom.
- Ahah. - I was remembering while speaking.
- Well you didn't know that I were there around 5 minutes before you turned back so I could saw everything.
- What?. So you were staring at me for a while huh? Haha cute.
- I could not avoid to saw you! You were there and my shirt was behind you in the bed.
- I don't mind really. - We both laughed again. - And I think you're very beautiful too.
I think we talked and giggled until 4:00 am I didn't wanted it to end but I was starting falling asleep.
- Good night Cos. - Delphine said, rolling to my side and giving me a kiss on the cheek.
- Good night Del. - I replied, blushing a little.
It was Saturday morning at 10:00 am. I thought Delphine could still be sleeping as she was, but when I tried to get up and made my way to refresh myself, I felt an arm around my waist, hugging me and pressing me against her warm body. Making impossible to me standing up. It was Delphine's arm.
With one hand I reached for hers and tried to put it on her hips but instead she intertwined our fingers. I smiled.
But I had to think clearly. What the hell am I doing? I thought. Just think about it Cosima, you have something with her that you cannot explain since the first time you saw her in the concert and then you met her, you danced with her , you became friends, but this is incorrect, its your best friend's sister.
