31st of December
Delphine woke to find a piece of paper in the smaller brunette's familiar script on the pillow next to her; Good Morning, I hope you're feeling better…I can't wait to see you tonight. Cosima X
She did feel better not one hundred percent, her nose was still runny and her throat stingy but otherwise she was better. She pepped her head out of her room to find Krystal blowing up balloons with the T.V blasting music; she wondered how she had managed to sleep through it.
"Good morning" Delphine cleared her throat as her voice was still gravely.
"More like Afternoon. Your phone keeps ring by the way…she is persistent also a little scary when she does that thing with her eyes. Like so creepy, do you think it's a twin thing?" Krystal asked
"What eye thing?" she asked as Krystal demonstrated searching her friends eyes "It was like she was trying to search into my soul, to see if I was telling the truth…I mean twins are supposed to have like special senses or something, what if she knew?"
"What are you talking about? She doesn't have special senses." Delphine said opening a cold bottle of water from the fridge, picking up her phone where Krystal had left it.
"Yesterday she asked about how we met and she done this creepy eye thing. That's not normal"
"She knows we are lying." Delphine concluded.
"So tell her the truth" Krystal stated.
"I will"
"When?"
"Tonight" Delphine sighed "A new year, a New Start"
"Are you sure? I mean, I think it's good that you are going to tell her and be open but what if she can't handle it or freaks out or something."
"Then she is not the person who I thought she was" Delphine said
"She loves you Delphine. I'm so happy for you, just remember to breathe" Krystal said as she pulled Delphine into a warm hug. "And I love you too. Sorry for being a bitch yesterday."
"I can handle it." Delphine grinned
Krystal nodded "Yeah I know"
"C'mon what do you want me to do?" Delphine asked pulling out of the hug.
The house was fit for a party and it was in full swing. The girls had worked together to create the perfect ambiance for the New Year's party. The party was filled with most of Krystal's friends; Delphine only invited Cosima. She looked beautiful as she wore a plum red pendulum dress with patterned tights and lace high-heeled boots. She was surprised when the twins knew Elizabeth, it turns out that she was the person referred to as Childs that lived below Cosima. She noted that Sarah and Beth had chemistry; the sad eyes that Delphine saw at the gym were now sparkling full of mirth. There was a loud commotion as more friends arrived, Krystal screamed running up to the tall boy who spun her friend around in his arms. Felix! She screamed shouting to be put down, she moved around the room looking for Cosima who had left her side to get herself a drink.
"Well, well, well look who it is" a male voice called as he slide up next to Delphine.
The long matted hair was now gone, he had an undercut with a little bun on his head, but his wolfish grin remained. He wore loose fitting black jeans and a plain white t-shirt. She searched for his name
"34C…Tony" Delphine spoke watching the grin crawl higher up his face as he opened his arms pulling her in for a quick hug.
"What are you doing here?" She asked pulling away, wondering how Cosima's whole building was now present.
"I came with that peach" Tony pointed over to Felix. Delphine's eyes grew ten times wider as her jaw fell open. The boy stood in assless chaps. She was going to have to Dettol every surface at least three times tomorrow, she was just grateful that she put a throw over the leather couch.
"Don't look so worried, you could probably give him a run for his money." He said looking straight at her ass, unashamed.
"Tony!" Cosima hooked her arm around Delphine's waist
"Oh come on Dreads, I was just having a little fun, no harm in looking, right" He said sipping his bottle of bear, eyes twinkling full of mischief.
"Did you have a good Christmas Tony?" Delphine asked filling in the growing silence.
"Yeah, can't remember much. But I think I saw you" Tony answered
"Me? When?" Delphine asked, as Cosima's face became more curious
"On top of my Christmas tree, because I bet you are a totally star on top" He winked "Am I right, dreads?"
Cosima spluttered out her wine watching Tony laugh as he walked past the two girls.
"I like him" Delphine stated watching interact with another group of people. "He is like you"
"What, no, we are completely different" Cosima dismissed
"Confident, cocky and very cheeky" Delphine tugged her closer "And you both like my ass" she whispered, Cosima tipped her head back in laughter.
"It's a great ass" her hand slithering down the long back to rest it there. Delphine's cheeks turning fuchsia.
The girls mingled around the apartment with every minute that past each guest became more intoxicated. They talked in the kitchen with Sarah and Beth away from the loud music and drunk dancing that was happening in the living space.
"See that's what happens when you ditch your friend to get laid" Beth went on.
"And you wouldn't have?" Delphine argued back with a grin on her face.
"No course not, Cosima is not my type" Beth snorted
"But Sarah is" Delphine smirked as Cosima bit her lip trying to keep her laugh in.
Beth laughed shaking her head drinking her bear
"Oi, I'm right here" Sarah chuckled.
"But am I wrong?" Delphine questioned with a quirk of her brow.
"No, you're not. I would have done the same" Beth answered grazing her fingers up the English girls arm "Alright, knock it off" Sarah squirming away from her touch.
"Come on Sarah" Beth called after the girl.
Delphine was confused as her mouth hung open "Don't worry about them, they are totally away to make out" Cosima reassured "Speaking of, do you wanna make out with me? Maybe in your room, where we can be totally alone" she grinned her hips pressing down into Delphine's arms draped along her neck dragging her down to meet her lips.
"Okay" Delphine kissed her back as Cosima laced their hands together as they moved through the bodies "Told you" she said pointing out her sister and other girl tangled together in a corner. She pushed on the girl's bedroom door, it was jammed. Cosima pushed her shoulder into the door "Shit Delphine, I think someone is in there"
"No, I just locked it" she moved her out the way, pulling a small key out of her bra unlocking her bedroom door as they slipped inside away from the party.
"Very clever, Can you imagine if the guy with the assless chaps got in here?"
Delphine shuddered at the thought making the petite girl giggle at her face "come here"
This kiss started out slow both girls sighing into it. Cosima scrapped at Delphine's bottom lip biting down on tugging it open so she could explore further with her tongue. Their tongues memorising the contours of each other mouths, as Cosima pushed Delphine down to her bed. Her chest moving rapidly as the small girl straddled her waist. Delphine's hands found purchase on Cosima's back gripping it tightly as Cosima continued to bruise Delphine's mouth. She moaned into her mouth as she felt the petite girls back muscles move beneath her fingers, she unclasped the bra that was getting in the way. Her shoulders curved into the blonde as her nail trailed down her spine causing Cosima to shiver. Cosima stroked her cheeks as they rested their foreheads together inhaling the much needed oxygen.
"I need to ask you something" Cosima breathed licking her lips pressing her down into the bed.
Cosima placed soft gentle kisses around Delphine's neck and cheek until the other woman groaned, placing long wet open mouth kisses along her neck. Nipping at her earlobe extracting a breathy exhale from the blonde, they both stared longingly into each other's eyes before Delphine bit down on her lip "What is it you want to ask me?"
"Delphine Cormier, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Cosima smiled displaying her perfect incisors.
