Cosima's eyes flutter open as the sunlight comes through the window. She sits up and looks around and everything is blurred, but no matter how blurry it is, she's sure that this is not her apartment nor Felix's loft. She looks to her side and could make out the image of her glasses on the bedside table. She grabs it and immediately puts it on. She looks under the covers and sees that she's only in her jeans. What the fuck happened last night? She thought. The door suddenly bursts open and reveals a girl with red hair in a towel. Cosima's eyes go wide and she looks away.
"You liked what you saw last night." The girl said.
"Sorry, um.." Cosima stuttered.
"Emi." Said the redhead as she rummage her drawer for clothes.
"I'm sorry, Emi. I just, I had a sip of courage last night. Everything's a blur." Cosima looks down.
"It's fine. This is a one time thing anyway." Emi smirks.
"Yeah…" Cosima trails off as she looks at anything other than the redhead.
"Do you wanna go?" Emi asks.
"Kind of. Yeah.."
"Then get dressed. I'll see you downstairs." The redhead smiles.
Emi closes the door behind her and Cosima jumps out of the bed to gather her clothes that was scattered around. She brings out her phone from her jeans and sees that she's got a few texts from Felix and Sarah and a missed call from the girl who called her last night for comfort.
"Fuck." She whispered as her head starts to feel heavy. Once she was all dressed up, Cosima goes out of the room and to her surprise, there were a few other girls only in towels. Sorority house. She earned different kind of looks from the girls so she decided to walk faster. Eventually, Cosima found her way downstairs and there was no sight of Emi so she decides to go out of the sorority house. Outside, Emi was talking to a few pledge girls and Cosima walks up to her.
"You have the room all to yourself, you must be the hbic." Cosima jokes.
"I kind of am." Emi winks. "So I'm sure you still don't remember last night, but let me tell you Cosima, it was mind-blowing." Cosima smiles awkwardly. "Glad you liked it. I better go." Emi nods, "Yeah. I'll see you aroud, I guess."
On her way home, Cosima goes through her phone and replies to those she hasn't responded to.
Felix: Where are you? 9:16AM
Felix: COSIMA KNEE-HOUSE! lol 10:21AM
Felix: Was it THAT good? Jesus Christ it's already 12 noon Cos. 11:40AM
Felix: Oi Cosima, wakey wakey. 12:06PM
Cosima laughs at Felix's texts but she only replies with I'm on my way there.
She reads Sarah's texts reminding her of dinner at Alison's tonight and to come at Sarah's house so they could go together, but it was more like Sarah just wants Cosima to drive for them despite the dreadlocked girl's inability to drive properly.
Then there it was, the missed call. Well, missed calls. 6 of them. Cosima contemplates of texting the girl but she doesn't trust herself right now, with the hangover, she'll probably end up babbling even on a text message. So she puts her phone in her pocket and waits for the bus to reach the stop near Felix's.
Cosima got off the bus and walks to the loft. She passes Bobby's bar and caught sight of the bartender waving at her. Cosima waves back and flashes her a smile. Once she was up, she knocks a few times but there was no answer. Then her phone dings indicating a text message.
Felix: Went out with Colin. I gave the keys to Bobby so you can just get it to her. Be back later! X
After reading his text, Cosima groans. She walks 2 stairs down and into the bar below. Cosima walks in and was instantly met by the smell of beer and some other cocktails which makes her stomach churn.
"Hey Cosima. Felix left his keys with me," says Bobby as she search her pockets for the said keys.
"Yeah, so is that why you were waving at me?" Cosima asks.
"Yep." The bartender answers. "Oh, here it is." She hands Cosima the keys all attached to a penis shaped keychain. "So you want a beer or something?"
"No, but thanks Bobby. My head still hurts from last night."
"Ooh," Bobby leans on the counter. "Tell me about that, I saw you leave with Emi." She winks.
"You know her?"
"Of course I do. She's my sister." Cosima's eyes go wide and she bites her lower lip. "Dude, I'm sorry I didn't know you're related!"
"Oh it's fine. Emi doesn't really do relationships, she's all for the one night stands." Bobby informs her.
"Yeah, kind of got that earlier before I left."
"Where'd she take you? The apartment or the sorority house?"
"The second one. My pants almost fell off when I got out of her room and there are ladies in their towels." Bobby laughs and shakes her head. "Oh, Cos, no. They're probably two or three years younger!"
"Then how about Emi? How old is she?"
"23. She's a junior, I think. So, tell me about last night."
"Oh, okay. Uh, I'm not- I, I don't know really. I can't remember anything."
"Come on, you don't have to be scared to tell me cause I'm her older sister."
"I can't- last night was a blur. You can ask her, she did say it was," Cosima then makes exploding gestures "mind-blowing before I left." She finishes.
"and I'm sure it was." Bobby winks.
Nearly three years ago, when Felix moved into his loft, he met Bobby. She tells him she owns the bar downstairs and he could swing by if he wants to. Felix then invites Cosima, Cosima tags along, and she meets Bobby and the rest, is history. Which only means Cosima and Bobby also had a one time thing. The next day Cosima expected it to be awkward when Felix drags her down to the bar but was surprised that Bobby was totally cool about it and so they became good friends.
Cosima laughs at Bobby's statement and lightly punches her arm. "Fuck off." She mutters with a smirk. Just then, Cosima's phone starts ringing. It's Sarah. She excuses herself and heads to the restroom where there's less noise.
"Bloody hell, Cosima. Why aren't you replying?!" Sarah shouts from her phone.
"Good afternoon to you too, Sarah and chill out dude, you're too grumpy at 1o'clock."
"Fuck off you silly tit, I need you to come over right now." Sarah demands.
"What? Why?" Cosima asks.
"I need you to stay with Helena for a few hours."
"Sarah, you know she's gonna corner me and demand for brownies."
"Bloody hell. Fine, make those brownies, just- come over."
"You sure about that?"
"Yeah, whatever."
"Alright, give me 30 min-" Cosima rolled her eyes, Sarah hung up on her. She heads back to the bar and approaches Bobby. "Hey, I gotta go." She says. "Alright, I'll see you later Cos." Bobby replies.
Cosima arrived at Sarah's apartment and she found it amusing seeing Sarah Manning in a hurry, almost running around her apartment looking for her new leather boots. Once she found her them, she immediately put it on and saw Cosima leaning on the doorframe.
"Good you're here." She says as she stands up. "I just need you to accompany my sister for an hour or so."
"Where you going?" Cosima asks.
"Kira's school. S is letting me fetch her."
"Oh, congratulations then! Baby steps right?" Cosima smiles.
"Yeah. So, you know where everything is, make yourself comfy." Sarah says, waving her hand as a gesture for Cosima to move, and so the dreadlocked girl moved to the side and Sarah is immediately out of the door.
"See you later."
After Sarah had gone, Cosima found Helena sitting on top of the kitchen counter, her legs swinging like a child. "Hello, sestra." Helena greets Cosima.
Cosima smiles, and walks over to the couch. "Wanna get high?" she asks before putting her stuff down and plopping on the couch. Helena smiles widely and pushes herself off the counter and walks over to the couch. Cosima pulls out a small plastic bag and a few roll papers. She rolls one and hands it to Helena. "Thank you." She mutters.
It wasn't long before the high kicks in and the two girls are laughing their asses off while watching TV.
"This show I like. It's stupid." Helena snorts.
"Yeah. Who's your favorite character so far?" Cosima asks.
"April or Leslie. They are funny." The blonde answers.
The two of them continue watching letting the time pass them by and long before they know it, the door opens and Sarah walks in. The small smile on her face disappears as the smell of marijuana hits her nostrils. "Bloody hell."
After 30 minutes of Sarah yelling at the two, she finally calms herself and asks them to go down and get into the car, and with that being said Helena and Cosima literally ran out the door still terrified of angry Sarah.
The drive to Alison's home was pretty quiet, Sarah's driving and Cosima is in the front passenger seat and Helena lies helplessly in the back like all her hopes and dreams of living a happy normal life with her sestra has been thrown out the window the moment Sarah walked in and smelt marijuana. A few minutes of so, they finally arrive at Alison's and was immediately greeted by her mother by the front door. The trio walks in and heads to the kitchen where Alison was preparing the dining table.
"Thank heavens, you're here." She stops setting the table when her eyes lands on Cosima and Helena and notices that their eyes were glossy. She then eyes Sarah who just rolled her eyes and sat on the chair. "Are they high?!" Alison whispers to Sarah leaning over the table.
To say the least, dinner was eventful. Felix came, so did Rachel and Krystal. They all had a good time and was now being driven by Sarah out of suburbia. Sarah drops them Rachel and Krystal off first, followed by Felix who insisted on going to a club, then last one to go was Cosima. She thanks Sarah for the ride and after that, she speeds off. Cosima gets up to her apartment and sighs as she opened her door and everything was quiet. She goes to her room and drops on her bed. She feels her phone vibrate in her pocket and she immediately fishes it out. She's calling again. They either got back together or she needs someone to talk to. Cosima thought. She stares at her phone for a while before sliding it open.
"Hey, Delphine."
