THE ART OF LOVE

Chapter 3: Following head or heart.

Hi! I Just wanna thank you for the support on this story really thank you! Here is chapter 3 hope you enjoy all comments and suggestions are welcome :)

Okay just take out your hand of hers. I tried but I couldn't, I was too mind blocked to do that. So I tried with my last alternative.

- Humm ... Delphine. - I said with sweet voice but when I saw no reaction from her I spoke loudly. - Delphine!.

- What What I'm up I'm up!. - She was still being sleepy and trying to stand up on her elbows. Obviously she didn't noticed she was hugging me, she had her arm around my waist very tightly, well I think she didn't realized that.

- Humm your arm is ... and I can't stand up. - She looked at my waist seeing her arm around it.

- Oh yeah sorry just let me take it out of you. - She took off her arm and we both giggled, nervously of course, I looked at her but my biological necessities told me to went to the bathroom in that moment.

I made my way to the sink and washed my face with some water, I look the mirror to see myself smiling because the door was too open to let me see Delphine, who was making the bed. She looked at me and winked. But then she disappeared on to the other room.

I went to were Delphine was and I could hear she was taking some dishes from the cupboard.

- What are you doing? I said.

- I wanted to make some breakfast to you, if you want of course. - she replied while cutting some fruit.

- That's very kind but let me help you.

- Oh no no!. - She said moving her hands. - It's okay Cos if I'm going to live here I want to help.

- Fine. But I have to tell you that I'm very selective with my food. - I chuckled.

- You mean cheeky. -She smiled.

After some minutes she gave me a plate with half full of fruit and the other had crepes, then two vessels, one with orange juice and the last with milk.

- Seems delicious. Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- But you're not having anything?

- I ate already.

She said but she opened her eyes a lot and she was starting being nervous.

- But you were asleep when I woke ...

- I ... I have to take a shower. - She interrupted me, and ran to the bathroom.

That made me think: When I woke up she was hugging me and I thought she was sleeping. But she said she ate already so that means ...

I couldn't believe what I discovered, Delphine was there pressing me against her warm body faking being tired or sleeping just to be close to me!.

- OMG! I whispered to the now empty room.

I finished my classes of today and went to one of the tables that are around the campus and started writing a song. I didn't know exactly for what or for who I was writing it but it felt really good.

- Cosima!. - Delphine yelled.

- Hey! Delphine how's it going?. -She walked to where I was and took a sit with me.

- Fine it was a good day.

- Great. Emm wait a minute just let me finish this paragraph.

- Yes don't worry. - I could see from my back how she was recharging in the table, and watching me writing.

- I can feel you staring. - I turned to see her and smiled. She was biting her lip and had a look on her face of hunger.

- You ... well, I was wondering if you would like to ... - Delphine was interrupted by another voice.

- Cos! Hi! - A girl said, brown and faded hair, blue eyes and of medium height.

- Anne you're back! - I answered. Delphine was shocked when she saw Anne, I didn't know why, but I decided to introduce her. - This is Delphine.

- Oh my god! Delphine Cormier what are you doing here?. Anne said.

- Anne Tyler, long time not to see you. - Delphine replied.

They both watched each other carefully and any of them said a thing, It was an awkward moment so I broke the silence.

- So, you returned from NYC

- Yes. I ... I didn't knew you know Cormier.

- Cormier? That's how you call her?. - I said.

- Oui. - Delphine shut me up. - We prefer to call each other by our last names or not Tyler?

- Yeah, she's right.

Believe me I didn't need to know they both were nemesis, just of watching how they looked to the other, the way they spoke it was like if they were going to kill each other, they were a time bomb.

- And how was the trip? Did you have a great time?. - I spoke again.

- Yes, it was very nice. - Anne said but never broking the eye contact with Delphine. - However Cos. - She turned to face me. - I would like you to go out with me tonight or any day you want.

- It's a lovely proposal but I can't today. - I answered. - Anyway I'll call you later ok?.

- Yes of course, well I have to go I have class, see you later Cosima. - Before I could react she planted kiss on my lips amd turned to Delphine. - Good afternoon Cormier.

- Bye Tyler. - Delphine replied with a mad tune.

Anne is a girl who I was dating a few months ago, well, that's not the correct termine for what we had.

I walked with Delphine to our place and something was strange with her so I decided to found out what was happening.

- Why are you so quiet?. - I asked.

- It's nothing Cosima don't worry.

- Tell me come on!

- Okay!, since I have memory Anne and I, you know hate each other.

- That not a surprise. - I replied.

- It was too obvious?.

- Yeah, you both were about to kill.

- Okay, the truth is, that I hate her for one reason, she's always stealing what is mine. Or at least what she knows I appreciate or love more.

- Give me an example. - I said.

- Let me think. Ohh! There was that time when I had a boyfriend and she stole him.

- Man! I never imagined those things of her.

- Or when she made my friends angry with me because she told them I said I thought they were assholes and that I only liked them because I didn't have any friends.

- OMG! - I started laughing.

- That's not funny Cosima, the point is, that when we were 15 her parents had to move to Japan for their new jobs, but what's my surprise when I came from France to spend time with my brother that she's here!.

- That's bad luck man. - I stopped and took her hands in mines. - But dude! You need to relax.

- And what is on your mind?

- How about ...

We had a plan: Going to somewhere and have a great time, but then, we saw many people in a party and many glasses and bottles of wine.

- Hey Delphine?

- Oui?

- Do you like wine right?

- Yes, why?

- Come with me.

I took her hand and we both ran to were a table was. Full of many kinds of wine even ones I didn't know existed.

- Come on let's get out of here. - I whispered while taking two bottles and two glasses.

- Hey you! Stop!. - A waiter screamed running towards us.

- Run Cosima run!.

We ran as fast as we could to the shore of a lake behind the hut where the party was.

- Do we loose him?. - Delphine said.

- Yeah yeah I think so.

I took the glasses and put them in the ground like I did with the bottle of wine. I took a sit and started filling them with the drink. Delphine took a sit as me and we laughed about the expression of the waiter.

- Cheers!. - I said.

- Cheers. - Delphine replied.

The music of the party started being slowly time by time. I stood up and asked Delphine to dance with me.

- Cosima I suck dancing with slow music.

- Me too so don't worry. - I smiled.

She put her arms around my waist and I put mine on her neck, we started dancing step by step, I felt ... so relaxed and for her face, Delphine too, I rested my head an her shoulder and closed my eyes. But after a moment I was really convinced.

I will do it. I thought. I will kiss her.

I raised my head and Delphine opened her eyes, we closed them again, brushing our lips.

- Cosima. - She whispered.

- Yeah?.

- Run.

- What?.

- Hey! You have to pay for those bottles!. - The waiter screamed.

- Bullshit!. - I screamed back. - Everything seems like we're going for another jog. - I said.

The next day I was walking to class with Delphine she asked me to bring me to my class room, how I could say no?.

- Cosima!. - Anne called running and hitting Delphine on her shoulder.

Before Anne could gave me another kiss like the other day Delphine did something I never expected coming from her.

She stopped Anne and said:

- Okay, suffisant. I got tired of you.

- Why Cormier? What will you do to stop me?.

- You asked for it. - Delphine replied, closing her fist and beating Anne on the eye making her fall down.

So what do u think? I hope you liked it and,as I told you before I wanna know your opinion :).
