Delphine's eyelashes fluttered as the bright morning light shone through her curtains, the sounds of speedy traffic and the outside world becoming clearer as her body slowly woke from slumber. The room infused with a heavy scent of sex as it lingered around the room with rumpled sheets and pillows scattered around the floor with disregarded pieces of clothing.
Delphine smiled as she felt the brunette's finger tips lightly trace up and down her arm causing the blonde to get goose bumps as her body shivered with the delicate caress. Cosima continued to explore the blonde's body with light touches; she had dreamed about this so many times never did she think that it would actually happen.
Cosima woke up and stared at the sleeping goddess that lay in the morning glow as her golden hair reflected the light, almost making a halo, she chuckled softly to herself not wanting to disturb her. Delphine's body pale shimmering with the white sheet only covering her torso, she watched her chest rise and fall with the heaviness of sleep her, pink parted lips puffing out her sleeping breaths, her eyelids twitching in a dreamy state.
Cosima slowly brought up her hand as a finger mapped out along her collarbone feeling the groove of her bone to the blemished bruised skin that peppered her elongated neck down to her perky breasts, her fingertips lightly tracing freckles and moles up and down her arm.
That's when she noticed the blondes smile on her lips. Cosima mirrored her smile as she softly brought her lips down to the French woman's
"Morning" she whispered gently placing small kisses on her cheek.
Delphine opened her eyes chuckling wriggled half underneath Cosima.
Cosima dropped to the near side of the pillow they were sharing, as they gazed into each other's eyes. Delphine's face broke into a huge grin and she brought up her hands to cover her own face peeking through the gaps of her fingers too see Cosima grinning back her.
Cosima moved her hands on top of Delphine's bringing them away from her, but the blonde swiftly moved to cover her face further into the pillow as her cheeks had flushed a tinge of pink.
"Delphine" Cosima spoke trying to coax the girl into turning her head to look at her.
"C'mon" she spoke again, pinching her hips running her fingers over her ribs as the blonde yelped into the pillow. Cosima smirked as pinched and nipped the blonde's skin tickling her as she screamed out in laughter turning to meet Cosima's eye.
Cosima quickly trapped her head in-between her forearms as she laid them flat out on the pillow, with her body hovering above the blonde's.
"Bonjour mon Coeur" Delphine finally spoke never leaving the brunettes hazel eyes, kissing her arms that had trapped her head.
"son un beau matin et je suis si heureux que vous êtes ici avec moi." Delphine spoke softly. (its a beautiful morning and I am so glad you are here with me)
Cosima hummed lowering her weight tangling their limbs "I have no idea what you said." She giggled brushing her nose with Delphine's, kissing her with a slow deliberate passion "But it totally turns me on" sighing into a more heated kiss as their lips parted.
Delphine pulled the smaller girl into her body, moaning as their bare chests came together. Cosima's hips started to move in a circular motion as the blondes come up to meet her own. Both girls gasped smiling in pleasure, Cosima planted kisses around Delphine's neck. The blonde winced jerking out of touch. "Shit sorry"
"I think you have marked my neck enough" Delphine said cupping and stroking Cosima's back.
"Well I'll just have to mark you somewhere else then "Cosima said with a glint in her eyes and mischievous grin. The smaller girl unwrapped the sheet that was tangled the blonde's legs. She stroked up and down the smooth planes of pale skin watching as the little hairs stood tall with anticipation. Her lips trailed up her legs, giving extra attention to scars and freckles that she found on her way as she approach her inner thigh she could smell the blonde's arousal. Cosima tasted the hot sweaty skin, sucking and licking as the blonde writhed under her. Cosima looked up meeting her eyes, as Delphine bite her lip. Cosima touched her outer lips savouring the taste of Delphine's wetness; Cosima's tongue came out again parting her lips drinking her in.
"Oh merde" Delphine squealed.
Both girls lay out across the bed panting, breathing heavily. Both faces flushed red with sheen of sweat covering their bodies. Delphine's hair spread out, wild curls slightly damp on her fore head as Cosima lay next to Delphine her dreads pushed on top of her head that must of happened in-between the various and vigorous sex that just happened.
"You know this is the most I've moved on a Sunday in years" Cosima turned around lying flat on her stomach looking into Delphine's glazed eyes entwining their fingers. Delphine hummed in agreement putting a petite kiss on Cosima's hand
"I could stay like this forever." She closed her eyes resting her head on Delphine's bosom both just basking in the quiet only hearing each other's breath, soon their breathing was in sync as their eyes became heavy.
Cosima lay across the bed horizontally with blankets piled on top of her small body as the cold winter air made its presence known, turning to snuggle closer into the blonde's body she was met with emptiness. She stretched out her arm blindly searching for her body, her eyes shot open, sitting up quickly in the middle of the bed searching for her glasses that were perched on the bed side unit sitting on top of the blurry clock radio. As her eyes adjusted she looked around the room, her clothes were nowhere to be seen but she noted a neatly folded stack on a chair, the pillows are now back in their rightful place also. She tucked the blanket under her arm, the wooden floor nipping her feet she peaked into the woman's bathroom for a sign but nope. "Put these on and come out" the note lay on top of the clothing, with Delphine's neatly italic script that Cosima was jealous of, her writing was hilly with a mixture of capitals and small letter casing. She picked up the clothing examining the pieces Delphine had left for her, a long patterned woollen jumper, black leggings, and big fluffy socks.
Cosima peeked out the door way, tilting her head to look around for Delphine before coming out of her room. The balloons still scratted along the floor but all the pictures of a younger Delphine were nowhere to be seen. A huge Christmas tree stood tall in front of the large windows with boxes and sacks of decorations beside it Cosima crept further into the large open room shuffling her feet across the dark wooden floor boards. Cosima sucked in breath, not really knowing what to do and unable to spot Delphine she swallowed hard, calling out a soft "hello?"
"You're up!" Delphine popped out smiling softly as moved back behind the piece of wall that hide her from Cosima's view.
Cosima followed where Delphine was in the kitchen watching a pot boil as she grated a block of cheese
"I hope you like tomato and cheese pasta with garlic bread" Delphine looked over her shoulder stopping grating to place a kiss on the top of the brunettes head, Cosima leaned into Delphine happy to be back in her warmth.
"Yeah, how could you not like it?" Cosima said leaning against the counter picking up the pasta sauce reading the label as the blonde moved to drain the pasta in the sink.
"What kind of pasta is that?" Cosima laughed in disbelief at the packet next to the sauce, examining it more closing pouring some of the dry pasta on to her hand.
"Oh my god, Delphine!" Cosima laughed harder
"What you have never had penis shaped pasta before?" asking with a straight face
"Letters, numbers, hoops, princesses maybe but never in my thirty one years of life have I had penis shaped pasta!"
Delphine chuckled at Cosima's exasperated list as she poured the grated cheese into the pot giving it mix as the cheese melted in.
"So do you only buy erotic pasta shapes? Or?" Cosima moving out of the blondes' way as opened up the oven, checking on the garlic bread.
"No it was a birthday present from Krystal, do you want a drink?" Not waiting for answer she pulled out two glasses "Could you get the bowls out?" The blonde opened a bottle of wine filling the two glasses, setting them down on the coffee table in living room, she moved swiftly back through to the kitchen watching Cosima open and shut cupboards looking for the bowls "that one" Delphine pointed turning off the oven and the stove.
"Wow I still can't believe that was only yesterday, like this feels totally domestic already" Cosima said, not thinking about had just slipped out her mouth or even to bother to watch Delphine's reaction, she simply dropped down the bowls as Delphine spooned the pasta in and sprinkled more cheese on top. The blonde reached around Cosima getting another bowl and a plate over for the garlic bread, as Cosima pulled out spoons and carried their bowls over to the coffee table, sitting herself down as the blonde followed the garlic bread.
Delphine sat crossed legged on the couch taking a small sip of the red wine "It does" looking up over her eyelashes at Cosima whose mouth twitched into a small smile. "Yeah it does"
"Wow does dick always taste this good?" Cosima said bringing another mountain covered spoon to her mouth.
Delphine nearly choked on her food as splattered and stuttered "No" before swallowing bursting out into a coughing laughing mess.
After she calmed herself wiping her eyes "So you have never" Delphine paused as Cosima gave her a stoic stare waiting for her to continue, she enjoyed watching the normally very in control doctor get flustered. Cosima shook her head gathering more pasta on her spoon "Never even experimented?" Delphine brought the food to her own mouth as she waited for Cosima's reply.
"Well I mean I've kissed and made out with boys. Nothing too serious, I could never picture myself ever being with a boy and whenever they would get their dicks out I would be like put that thing back where it came from or so help me" Cosima sniggered "So never ever have I had sex with a boy" she grinned.
"So, what about you? When did you realise that you liked girls instead of boys?"
"I like both actually. But I think it was at boarding school-"
"Shut up you went to boarding school! Did you practice French kissing with other girls?" Cosima exclaimed excitedly dropping her now empty bowl on the coffee table.
Sitting on her knees pulling the hem of Delphine's long white sleep shirt Delphine slowly nodded her head biting her lip as her cheeks tanned a shade of rose "Hmm Dr Cormier did you have a special uniform?" Delphine giggled on Cosima's shoulder as she relaxed into the smaller woman's body "Oui" she husked.
Cosima groaned "Were you a naughty little girl?" pulling arms tightly around Delphine's neck "Non" Delphine giggled harder, struggling out of the vice grip "We are not doing this" Standing up taking the bowls to the kitchen.
"I was just joking around Delphine" Cosima whined following after her
"I know but it doesn't really do it for me, I don't see the appeal" Delphine babbled washing the bowls lifting her arms as Cosima's wrapped hers around her waist.
"So you have never crushed on a teacher or anything before?"
"Non. All my teachers and professors were really old. And I went to a Catholic boarding school, Cosima, so my uniform is not at all what you are imagining." Delphine turned in the embrace gazing down at the smaller girl with a smile on her lips.
"Hmmm Well I'm not sure, maybe I should see a picture or something. You know, just to stop, my imagination running wild" Cosima's eyes wiggled trapping Delphine, standing on her tip-toes "I know where you are ticklish" she whispered bringing her hands up around the French woman's waist fingers teasing the torso.
"No Cosima" Delphine screeched running away from her around the kitchen island
"You have been naughty Delphine, you need to punished" Cosima ran after with her fingers out grabbing the doctor's hips and waist whenever she was close. The blonde ran out of the kitchen area towards the living room Cosima was hot on heels. Delphine raced around the coffee table, Cosima stood at one side and Delphine at the bottom side
"You can't escape me" Cosima pants side stepping into whatever way was going to run
"Watch me" the blonde retorted running across the couch just missing Cosima's clutches running back to the kitchen islands, Delphine fought off Cosima's arm as she tickled her ribs the blonde picked up her pace as she move around the coffee table again, this time Cosima chased her around the surface, Cosima's finger tips brushing her back ribs. Delphine stepped out of the circular motion that they were both following. The laughing and the heavy breathing filled the apartment until a loud thud stopped the giggling,
"Oh shit" Cosima said as her the side of her body made contact with the hard floor
"Are you alright?" Delphine asked coming closer, knowing Cosima's tickling was no longer a threat to her.
Cosima sat up adjusting her glasses as the taller woman bent forward holding her stomach as she roared with laughter, Cosima couldn't help join in the blonde's infectious laugh.
"I'm sorry." Delphine exhaled "But you just went down" continuing to laugh "It was like out of a cartoon. Oh my gosh" Delphine chuckled as Cosima beamed back at her, bum shuffling on the wooden surface hands wrapping around Delphine's knee trying to pull her down into her lap. The blonde tumbled down into her lap, giggling into her neck unable to stop herself. Cosima stroked the back of her head tangling her hands in the wild curls "You think this is SO funny huh? Cosima prodded "Or was this part of my plan all along" Cosima whispered as she twisted the doctor to the floor pinning her arms above her head. Delphine gasped in shock at her fast movements all the hilarity stopped in that instant, the atmosphere changing becoming dense and thick with tension. Both women staring in awe closing gradually closing the gap between them.
"Hey, aww you guys are so cute" Krystal walked in with a bunch of shopping bags kicking off her shoes, hooking her jacket up.
Cosima hopped off the blonde, standing awkwardly, as Delphine made her way to see what Krystal had bought.
"Don't look in my bags" Krystal quickly intercepting the bags and running to her room with them.
"My Christmas presents" Delphine slyly smirked pulling Cosima along to the couch
"No its not" Krystal sassed coming out her room with very large pink bunny slippers on her feet, the ears flapping up and down with every step she took, plonking down on the couch reaching over of the wine bottle, drinking from the bottle "Hmm this is good, is the bottle that I got for your birthday?" Delphine nodded "I saved a bowl of pasta for you"
"I've already ate, but I'll take it to work with me tomorrow. You're still picking me up after work, right. Or do you have plans now"
"No, I'm still picking you" Delphine smiled as Krystal took another drink. Cosima fiddled with her fingers
"So working tomorrow's going to be interesting" Krystal grinned
"No, it's business as usual" Delphine spoke in curt voice, making Cosima shudder and wince. The playful, smiley, Delphine that she had grown familiar with had disappeared.
The atmosphere turning awkward
"Soo Cosima what are you doing for Christmas?" Krystal enquired
"Well my family have a lodge down in Calgary"
So do you ski?"
"No, I don't have the best co-ordination skills so I mostly sledge. My sister does though, my other sister ice-skates and my other sister she just eats the stuff." Cosima chuckled picturing her sister. Delphine laughing at the co-ordination comment.
"Three sisters, you are so lucky to have siblings, you will always have a best friend" Krystal spoke
"Yeah, I'm a quadruplet, so it just like talking to another version of me" Cosima returned the beautiful smile as Krystal looked more amazed with Cosima. Delphine smiled at Cosima already knowing this information as she had asked for two days off before they officially broke off for Christmas and working with Cosima in the lab she had heard many stories about her weird and wacky sisters.
"What about you guys? What are you doing for Christmas?" Cosima enquires
"Oh just a quiet one, just us two"
Oh. Do you not go to France?" she questioned the doctor finally looking at her
"Just the two of us" taking the bottle of wine out of her friends grasp taking a long drink,
Krystal intervening again "I think it's completely fascinating how everybody has their own little Christmas traditions. We normally go around the winter wonderland and then see a show at night, then on Christmas Eve morning we will start preparing the dinner, after that's done, we sit in our Christmas jumpers watching all the classics, you know. Then we go to midnight mass come back and sleep then it's Christmas day" Krystal sighed happily
"It's dirty dancing this year, I am so excited, and last year we saw the Lion King. We both cried when Mufasa died, it was so moving." Fanning her face, to stop her tears slipping out
"Wow never had you pegged as a musical loving gal" Cosima said wiggling her eyebrows at her
"Did you not cry when Mufasa died? Not even as a child?" Delphine asked
"Yeah it was so sad, when they decided to stop drawing him" Cosima chuckled at her own joke
The two blondes gasped, giving the brunette a stunned stare neither laughing at Cosima's joke
"Erm..Yeah I was never into Disney or musicals actually. But my sister Alison loves them; she was in one just recently at the community theatre. Blood ties?" Cosima's hands became more animated trying to keep the conversation up
"Never heard of it" Delphine spoke, the other blonde shook her head signalling to Cosima that she also had never had heard of it.
"So, Oh my god, is that the time? I should get going" Cosima stood abruptly walking to take her shoes off the stand, rolling the fluffy socks into a ball putting her high heels on.
"Cosima? What are you doing?"
"Going home Delphine, it's nine o'clock, I have to be at work in like ten hours plus I've still got to read over this report and my boss is a real tight ass. She also has this really tight ass I mean it's so-" Cosima was hit by a cushion before she could finish her sentence with Krystal laughing at their antics.
Delphine rolled her eyes, moving to her bedroom, bringing out a bag with all of Cosima's clothing, grabbing her coat.
"I'll be back in fifteen minutes? Half an hour depending on the roads" Delphine called to Krystal, pushing Cosima out the door.
"Ok be careful. It was nice meeting you Cosima" Krystal shouted before the door shut.
The car journey was in comfortable silence, Delphine would sometimes mumble along to the music that played in a quiet murmur, following her GPS to Cosima's apartment.
The silence became heavier as Delphine stopped the car outside the brunette's building. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tighter
"Cosima, you understand, people at work can't know this ever happened. Tomorrow we will behave as normal. Nobody can suspect anything between us."
Cosima's eyes glossed over as she listened to the harsh tone of the French woman's voice, she trapped her bottom lip in between her teeth to stop it quivering. She had been so stupid she thought Delphine had a good time with her, that maybe they could've maybe done it again, but with less alcohol next time.
"But I did have a really good time with you Cosima, maybe in the holidays we could do something one day."
Cosima looked up with wide eyes a beam forming on her lips.
"Yeah, Totally" Cosima reached down for her bag, pushing the door open
"Okay" Delphine smiled placing a kiss on the side of her mouth. Cosima pushed herself out of the car, just about to shut the car door
"Oh Cosima, don't be late tomorrow or I may have to punish you" Delphine smirked reversing away.
