So again, I'm sorry in advance if there are any errors. Wrote this whole chapter on my phone again cause I haven't gotten my laptop's LCD replaced yet, hopefully I'll have time this week to buy a new LCD and fix it. To those who followed this story, thank you so much! :)
Oh, and if you don't mind, I'll just reply to some reviews on here..
thetravelingkid: Yeah, pining sucks! Oh, I don't wanna be a spoiler so I'll just say that they'll have their "talk" probably on the 6th chapter or 7th chapter. I'm not yet sure. Now, I know that's kind of a long wait for just a talk, but shits are going to go down first. ;)
YellowShadow: Thank you! :)
linaly1825: Here it is, hope you like it!
Delphine managed to get Cosima up the apartment and into the dreadlocked girls' bedroom. She helped the girl get into the bed and removed her shoes. Delphine was about get Cosima some clean clothes when Cosima spoke up.
"I don't wanna change."
"You smell like wine and pot."
"Then I smell great." Cosima smirks. Delphine smiles then shakes her head. "Okay."
"Thanks." Cosima mutters.
"For what?" Delphine asks.
"For driving me home and getting me up here. I'm really sorry for what happened downstairs, that was really gross."
"You're always welcome, Cosima. It is a good thing you managed to get out cause I would never forgive you if you threw up in my car." Delphine jokes.
Cosima laughs and sits up. She looks at her clock and takes note of the time. Almost 3 in the morning. "Are you okay to drive?" she asks the blonde.
Delphine nods her head but to be honest, she was already exhausted. A yawn then escapes her mouth and Cosima laughs. "It's probably better if you just stay here for tonight." Cosima suggests. "Oh! This could be like our sleepovers when we were in 5th grade." Delphine laughs as she remembered the sleepovers they used to do and smiled at the thought. "Okay. I'll just call Nicholas, let him know I'm staying over." Delphine says before turning around to go out of Cosima's room. Cosima stares at the ceiling, she could hear Delphine talking outside but can't really understand what the blonde is saying. After a few minutes, Delphine comes in.
"Can I borrow some clothes?" she asks.
"You do know I'm like 3 inches shorter than you, right?" Cosima smirks.
"I am well aware of that... elf." Cosima's jaw hangs open and she gathers the remaining energy she has to throw a pillow at Delphine. The blonde laughs as the brunette misses.
"Pauvre petit chiot." she smirks.
"You're the puppy." Cosima grins.
Delphine found one of Cosima's loose shirt and a shorts that she's pretty sure doesn't belong to the brunette. Delphine holds up the garments and turns to Cosima. "Can I use this?" The brunette looks at the shirt in Delphine's hands and was hesitant at first because it's her favorite but then she agrees with a hum. "That's not my mine." Cosima points at the shorts. "But I can assure you that it's clean. It is in my drawer after all."
Delphine walks to the bathroom to freshen up while Cosima lays in bed, frozen. She thought of when was the last time she and Delphine last shared a bed. Approximately 5 years ago, at the rest house of Alison's family, where Cosima really accepted her feelings for the blonde. Cosima always knew she loved Delphine but wouldn't admit it to herself until that night, in that bed they shared, after they all had a lot to drink, was the night Cosima admitted to herself that she wanted to be with Delphine as more than best friends. Cosima's thoughts were interrupted when Delphine stepped out of the bathroom and Cosima swears her heart stopped beating for a moment. Delphine in Cosima's favorite shirt paired with that ridiculously short shorts that revealed the blonde's flawless legs, and her hair tied up in a messy bun was all too much for Cosima to take. She immediately averts her eyes from Delphine once the blonde turns her head up to look at Cosima. Delphine walks over and Cosima moves to the left side of the bed so Delphine could take the right. The blonde sat down and checks her phone. She sighs when her phone suddenly shuts off.
"Can I borrow your charger, Cosima?"
"Y-yeah." Cosima stutters before turning her back on Delphine to grab her charger from the drawer. Once Cosima turned back to face Delphine, she was surprised to see that the blonde was looking at her. Cosima smiles and hands Delphine her charger. "Merci."
The two talked for a few more minutes when Cosima starts blinking rapidly and yawns. "We should sleep now." Cosima mutters. "Oui." Cosima shifts, her back facing Delphine and in a matter of seconds, she was already asleep.
Delphine reaches for the lamp and switched it off. She lay there, in Cosima's bed, thinking of her relationship with Nicholas. It hasn't been a week or even 3 days since they made up but the two had already fought. She was growing tired of the constant fighting and Nicholas not even bothering to tell Delphine what he's up to or where he is or who's he with lately. She thought back to the days they were still dating and the first few months of their relationship, they were very happy. He was so sweet, he took Delphine out on a date almost every night and he would drive her home and he'd open the door for her and help her out of his car, he did these things for over a year and a half until he finally had Delphine sprawled out and exhausted in his bed 2 months ago. She wanted to cry but she didn't want to wake up the sleeping form beside her. Delphine sighs and wipes off the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Cosima?" she whispers even though she knows that the girl is already in a deep sleep. "I don't know what to do anymore. I want to break up with him but just the thought of him being with a new girl kills me." she sighs once more before turning on her side.
Delphine's phone suddenly lights up and beside it was a framed
picture of her and Cosima. Delphine smiles, she remembers the day the photo was taken. It was the day Cosima's driving instructor finally passed her. Up to this day, it's still a mystery to Delphine how or why or what Cosima did for the instructor to pass her because after 4 years, Cosima's driving skills is still like a beginner's. In the photo Cosima was holding her results paper up with a huge grin and her other arm was barely around Delphine's shoulder. Delphine also had a big smile on her face and a thumbs up while her other arm was on Cosima's waist. Delphine misses these moments with Cosima. She doesn't know what happened or why Cosima suddenly changed her demeanor towards Delphine but the blonde could feel that Cosima's going through something, and whatever it was, she needed to know. She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts when she felt Cosima move.
Delphine turns to her other side to face Cosima's back but was surprised to see that Cosima has turned and now they're face to face. It was dark but there were small lights from outside that peaked through Cosima's window and Delphine admired Cosima's face until she realized that the girl was still wearing her glasses. Delphine moved slowly to remove Cosima's glasses and once she was had them in her hands, Cosima's nose wrinkles and then she turns to her side, her back facing Delphine once again. Delphine absentmindedly reached out for one of Cosima's dreadlocks and lightly twirled it with her finger.
"I miss you, Cosima. I wish you'd tell me what's going on." she whispers before finally closing her eyes and fell asleep.
What Delphine didn't know was that Cosima heard her. The brunette had woken up when she felt Delphine's hand on her glasses but instead of opening her eyes to look at the blonde, she opted to just turn her back on her because IF she did open her eyes and saw Delphine looking at her, she'd do something she'd regret if the blonde pushes her away.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you." Cosima whispers.
So, that was it. I don't know why, but writing for Cosima's side of the story seems waaaay easier than Delphine's. Fact: there's a part in this story that happened to me irl and writing it down to be a part of this chapter got me a little stressed out but idk, it kinda seems logical for Delphine.
Well, yeah, let me know what you think! :D
