"Hey I'm Cosima" She smiled at me and I think my heart stopped. It was a big toothy smile that shone through her eyes, I know that all the clones looked the same other than hair, make up ect but she was 100% unique.
I'm staring at her, an awkward silence falls over us before Felix snaps me back in to reality with a sharp elbow in the ribs. "Hi I'm Delphine" well that was fucking smooth.
Her smile seems to grow if that's possible and before I can embarrass my self further in front of my new boss Felix intervenes. "Sorry Cos we better get back to Alison in the car"
"Good luck with that! It was nice to meet you Delphine" she beams at me. So different from Rachael's cold stare, I am unconsciously moving closer to her. I end up very much in her personal space before Felix yet again saves me with a tub on my arm in the direction of the car. " Au revoir" I'm smiling back at her and before I know it were back at the car trying to get a seat belt over a passed out Alison.
My minds in a fog of Cosima the whole way home, I can still smell the perfume and pot maybe? that floated off her towards me, I cant help the blush in my cheeks when I remember how close I was to her. Felix notices and as soon as we have Alison in her house and are back on the road he grills me.
"What was that with Cos? I know you socially awkward but I think perhaps someone has a little crush!" He gloats seemingly excited with this development. "I do not! I said like to words to her!" I cant help the way it comes out high pitched like a 15 year old.
"That's rubbish you have a thing for Cos! You barely got those to words out between the drooling and soul staring! I didn't know you liked chicks to! Are you gonna ask her out?"
"I don't know fe" I try to hide my smile from him but I cant really understand his enthusiasm. Why would he be excited to see me hooking up with his sister? Single for only a few hours and recently employed stripper isn't exactly the most desirable match for his sister?
"What's her deal?" Curiosity getting the better of me, I'm over flowing with questions about the mysterious woman.
"Cos? She's studying at university of Minnesota something to do with biology I think. I was actually going induce the two of you nerd's!"
My heart soars at this new information and I have to remind my self not to create an image of this woman I don't know. I have a habit of ignoring peoples fault's and focusing only on what I like, hence the slutty boyfriend.
I can't stop myself from thinking of Cosima though, as I shower and get ready for bed our limited interaction replays on my mind. On my new bed aka the couch is a blanket and my new roommate with my phone in hand, with a guilty look on his face I know without having to ask.
"Please don't tell me you texted Cos off my phone" I'm begging even though I need him to push me in situations like this.
"You could just say thank you! Your having lunch tomorrow at one" He pout's
"Thank you fruit tingles!" It comes out as a squeal as I jump on top of him.
"Ok there's just one thing, its only small. Cos has a girlfriend but she's a total bitch."
"What! That's kind of important information!"
"It get's better! Sarah and the others said they would pay anyone who get's Cos away from this chick fifteen thousand dollars."
