I'm sorry this took some time but yeah, here's chapter 7. :)
"Bloody hell." Felix muttered under his breath when he reached for Cosima's door and noticed that it was unlocked. He walked in and yelled, "Cosima! You know you shouldn't leave your door unlo-" he stopped in his tracks when he caught sight of the dreadlocked girl.
"Christ. What happened?" He asked, crouching to level with Cosima who's lying on the couch. Cosima only shrugged in response. Felix stood up and put his hands on his hips. "I have never seen so much Eskimo Pie wrappers in my entire life." He says as he starts to pick up the scattered wrappers.
"Get up and tell me what happened." Felix demands. Cosima sits up and Felix sits beside her. She gulped a few times then sighs. Felix squeezed her knee for encouragement.
"She stayed the night."
"She did?" Felix asks, eyes wide.
"No- Felix, nothing happened."
"Bummer. Well, go on."
"We slept. I woke up before her so I made us breakfast. We talked, then we ate. Everything was going so well. We even watched a movie. Until.." Cosima looks down trying to stop her tears from falling to no avail.
Earlier…
The movie was about to finish when there was a knock on Cosima's door.
"Were you expecting someone?" Delphine tears her eyes away from the television to look at Cosima.
Cosima's eyebrows furrow. "No. Why?" She asks, she didn't hear the knocking.
"Someone's knocking." Delphine reaches for the remote and pauses the movie.
There it was again. Knock, knock. "Ugh." Cosima groans as she stands up and heads over to the door. "Who is it?" she asks as she swung it open. Cosima frowns immediately. "What are you doing here?"
"Is Delphine still here?" Nicholas asks.
"No." Cosima lies. Nicholas peeks over Cosima's shoulder and sees Delphine. "Liar." Nicholas pushes Cosima aside and lets himself in. "Delphine." He calls out. Delphine looks up to him and rolls her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"I asked him the same thing." Cosima walks over to the living room, rubbing her arm. "Is that how you treat your girlfriend's best friend, Nicholas?"
"Shut up." He puts his finger up. "You're coming with me." He says as he takes a step towards Delphine and pulls her up. "You're hurting me!" Delphine hisses.
"Dude, let go of her!" Cosima yells as she tried to grab Nicholas' arm. He yanks Cosima away and the dreadlocked girl stumbles back. She's furious now. "I said let her go!" She shouts as she lunges forward and punched him in the face. It was quite a hard punch actually. "Cosima!" Delphine calls out as Nicholas loses his grip on her arm. The guy falls to the floor and Delphine looks back and forth between her bestfriend and her boyfriend. Cosima could feel her knuckles pulsating but that quickly fades as it was replaced by the suffocating feeling as her eyes connected with Delphine's. The blonde takes one last pleading look at Cosima before getting down on her knees and frantically trying to stop the blood gushing from Nicholas' probably broken nose. He winces as Delphine attempts to cover up his wound. He pushed her hand away and pulls himself up ready to do the same with Cosima. Before he could attack her, Cosima takes a step forward and holds her phone up. "Do anything stupid, I have the cops on speed dial." Nicholas scoffs, then straightens his back. "I'm going." He tentatively looks at Delphine then grabs her arm and pulls her out of Cosima's apartment.
"That bastard." Felix says. "Have you called Delphine?"
"No. She's not answering. She's probably mad at me for taking the swing." Felix then sees Cosima's bruised hand. "We need to fix that."
Two weeks later and Delphine has been avoiding Cosima. It's not that she's mad at her, because she's definitely not but more like embarrassed and doesn't know how she'll apologize after what happened. Cosima hasn't been attending the classes she shared with the blonde either. She's guilty and really doesn't have the guts to face Delphine right now.
At lunch, Cosima decides to walk to Mr. Ashcroft's diner. She was instantly greeted by the owner with a big smile. "The usual?" He asks and Cosima nods in response. "She's over there." Mr. Ashcroft says, motioning to the table in the corner. "What?" Cosima asks as she handed her money to him. "Delphine, she's over there. Figured you two would meet up." He winks. "Oh." Was all Cosima could say as she turned her head around to see where the blonde was sitting. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight of Delphine. She still looks mesmerizing but something's changed although Cosima can't pin point what. Mr. Ashcroft hands her the change and tells her that he'll bring her food to their table and Cosima thanks him. She takes a deep breath and starts walking towards Delphine.
The blonde was too engrossed listening to the music blaring from her earphones that she never noticed Cosima walk into the diner. Cosima stood there waiting for Delphine to notice her but after a few seconds, she tapped her fingers on the table. Delphine looks at the intruder but once she realized who it was, she pulled her earphones out and stood up.
"Cosima! I am so glad to see you!" She says as she pulls the dreadlocked girl for a hug. Cosima was taken aback by the contact but immediately responds to it. She definitely did not expect this reaction from the blonde. After a minute the two awkwardly broke the hug and Delphine sat back down. She motions for Cosima to sit down so the brunette slowly slipped down on the chair.
"I'm sorry." The two said in unison. They both chuckle and Delphine nods her head, "you go first." But Cosima doesn't say a word. "I'm sorry about what happened, Cosima."
"Yeah, me too. I shouldn't have punched him in the face."
"That asshole deserved it." Cosima's eyes go wide and Delphine laughs. "What?" She asks.
"You're not mad at me for taking the swing?" Cosima asks.
"Non." Delphine smiles.
"Okay.." Cosima trails off. "But I am upset. It seems like you've been avoiding me." Says Delphine.
Cosima looks down in embarrassment. Of course Delphine noticed, she's not stupid. "I just- I didn't know what to say, and you've been avoiding me too, Delphine. You never replied or answered my calls."
"My phone's broken." was the blonde's reply.
Somewhere in between the two weeks..
Delphine entered the apartment she shared with Nicholas and quickly went into their room. She didn't bother changing or getting rid of her shoes when she dropped herself on to the bed. She stares at the ceiling for a while, thinking. There's a lot going on in her mind but the biggest thing that's bothering her is Cosima. "I've probably ruined our friendship," she says to herself. After a few minutes, Delphine hears the front door open.
She stands up to greet Nicholas but before she could open the bedroom door, she hears frantic footsteps and some stumbling. She listens for a while and she heard…. Moaning. What the fuck is happening? she thought. The blonde slowly opened the door and to her surprise, Nicholas was shirtless and was on top of another girl on the couch. He pounded on the girl like there was no tomorrow.
Delphine's blood instantly boiled and the first thing she could grab was her phone. She didn't even know it was her phone when she sent it flying directly into the side of Nicholas' head. His eyes went wide and he struggled to pull out when the girl's muscle clenched around his penis. "Shit." The girl sat up and she was shocked to see Delphine. She scrambled to the floor and grabbed her clothes. She quickly put them on and once she was dressed, she stood up and slapped Nicholas' face.
Nicholas stood up and put his pants on. He stepped back and he heard a crack. "Fuck." He muttered once he realized he stepped on Delphine's phone. He looked at her and saw that her hands were on her hips and she's turning red. "Delphine, I can explain." He says as he walked over to the blonde who stood frozen in place. Delphine was shaking. Not in pain, but in anger. Nicholas tried to put his hand on Delphine's but the blonde turned away.
"Get. Out." She said, her tone ice cold.
"Baby, let me explain."
"Don't you call me 'baby', I said get out."
But Nicholas didn't move an inch, he was a fucking persistent asshole after all. Delphine took a deep breath and sighed. Nicholas smiled. He knew this gesture. It's what Delphine does when she's about to forgive him. I've got her wrapped around my finger, he thought. He smiled when Delphine started walking back into their followed her thinking he'd be getting some again but as she entered their room, Delphine's packing her things.
"Where are you going?" He asks.
"Far away from you." Says Delphine as she grabbed her clothes from the closet and shoved them into her bag.
"I told you, let me explain." He said, walking towards Delphine. He put his hand on her shoulder and Delphine shook it off. "Don't fucking touch me."
"So where are you staying now?" Cosima asks as she finished her food.
"with Krystal and Rachel." Delphine shrugs.
"You know you could've called me and I would've picked you up."
"He stepped on my phone, remember?"
Cosima slaps her forehead, "Oh, yeah. Right. That sucks."
"It's okay, I'll get a new one when papa sends my allowance."
"Well, if you want to, my old phone's still working, do you want to borrow it?"
Delphine shakes her head, "No, it's okay."
"But I insist, come on, let's go get it." Delphine couldn't protest anymore as Cosima's already dragging her out of the diner.
Once they arrived at Cosima's apartment, Delphine felt a little sting as she remembered what happened here. Cosima noticed Delphine being a little uncomfortable so she walks back to where Delphine was standing. She took the blonde's hand and squeezed it. Delphine looked at her and Cosima smiled. "Hey, it's okay." She said reassuringly. Delphine let herself be pulled inside and Cosima gently sat her on the couch. The dreadlocked girl knelt in front of her and cupped her cheeks. "Forget about what happened here, okay?" Delphine nods her head and Cosima flashes her a smile. "I'll just go and look for the phone, okay? Do whatever you want." She said as she stood up and went to her room. .
Delphine's eyes followed as Cosima disappeared into her room. The blonde stood up and went to the kitchen to grab herself a glass of water. She leaned on the counter and looked at the photos that Cosima had stuck on the refrigerator's door. Delphine smiled as she saw a picture of Cosima and her with all of their friends. She doesn't really remember when it was taken but a photo behind it caught her attention. It was another picture of her and Cosima, and this time she knows what went down in this picture. It was Cosima's birthday and Delphine asked Sarah and everyone to help her surprise her best friend. The picture showed her holding a cake designed with a DNA pattern and Cosima was grinning from ear to ear.
Cosima rummaged through her drawers and cabinet looking for the phone. 20 minutes later, she found the device and walked out of her room. She noticed Delphine wasn't in the living room so she walked towards the kitchen and saw Delphine standing in front of the fridge. She admired Delphine's form for a while and once she realized she was probably drooling, she shook her head and her shoulders.
"I found it!" She exclaimed and the blonde was immediately snapped out of her reminiscing. She turned around and walked towards Cosima. "Here you go." Said Cosima as she handed the blonde her old phone along with the charger. Delphine smiled and thanked her.
Cosima sat down on the couch and put her feet on the table. She looked at Delphine who remained standing. "so, what do you wanna do?" she asks. Delphine chuckles. "I still have a class, Cosima."
"Really?"
Delphine nods her head. "I can come by later, if you want."
Cosima grins before standing up. "Of course I want to." She walks Delphine to the door and the blonde stepped out of Cosima's apartment. "I'll see you later." Says Cosima. Delphine leans in and presses her lips on Cosima's cheek. "Ciao."
It had been a minute since Delphine had left and Cosima was still standing frozen in place. She was snapped out of it when a few guys, movers, passed by carrying a violet couch. She cleared her throat and closed the door. She looked at the clock and saw that she still had 5 hours to kill before Delphine comes back. She kneels down in front of her television and turned on her PS4. She grabbed a controller and sat down on the couch. She spent a good two minutes on picking a game before she settled on GTA V. Might as well finish this shit, Cosima thought.
Alright, so tell me what you think!
