"Congratulations!" As I open the door everyone etupts in cheers and I almost have a heart attack. "God don't do that" I mumble as I hang up my coat. "You're gonna need more nerve than that" Beth says , patting me on the back. "How'd you get into my apartment anyway?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Ummm, about that", Cosima walks up behind me. "Cos! Long time no see". "Yeah been pretty busy. Not to mention I have to look after this one", she points to Delphine. "Hey Del, how are you?" She smiles and wraps her arms around Cosima's waist. "Well, I've been the one looking after someone". I smile and Cosima blushes and looks away. "How about we move out of the hallway? I'm squished". Beth, Cosima and Delphine nod and we make our way to the lounge room.
As I enter the lounge room I see all my sisters and Brothers. Helena comes over and gives me a hug. "You did good". "Thanks. Couldn't have done it without Beth". "Yeah you couldn't have" Beth yells from her spot next to Sarah. I love her but sometimes she's just such a tool ( and I dont mean the useful kind). I finish talking to Helena and walk over to MK and Alison. "But she's fourteen. I can't just buy her toys" Alison explains to MK, ysing very dramatic hand gestures. "I don't know Alison, give her a pet or something" Mika suggests. Alison's face goes from concer to disgust. "Absolutely not! Do you know how much mess that would make?!" Alison asks, not able to get over the idea. "She has a point Ali" I say and Alison spins around and gives me a hug. "Congratulations on passing". "Thanks, and the pet thing, not a bad idea". Alison rolls her eyes and glances back at Mika. She gives her a nod. "You're not going to let this go, are you?" "Nope".
"I think you should really give it a go darling. You have this massive house and no one to share it with" Felix rambles, teying to get me to use some lesbian dating app he found out about on the Internet. "Not. Hoing. To. Happen" I say, sipping at my wine. "Why not? You need to get yourself some fun. You've been so busy caught up in those exams"Felix states, smirking at me. "Felix, there's more to life than bloody sex!" He shakes his head in disappointment. "Yes but you almost died for christs sake! Everyone almost died". His voice rises, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. "What are you on about Fe?" Sarah asks, intrigued. "This guy here wants me to use some lesbo dating site"I explain, pointing to Felix.
"He was just trying to help. And he has a point, you have this huge house and no one to share it with. Ypu also never get to yave any fun. The exams are taking over" Cosima says, tracing her fingers over Delphine's stomach. I sigh, trying to mask the loneliness in my voice. "Je suis dáccord. Felix was helping. And I think you are lonely in your time off. Give it a try... cette blesser Cosima!" Delphine yelos as Cosima bites a sensitive spot on her neck. I chuckle and Cosima apologizes. "Sorry babe. Nous volontè continuer ce plustard". Delphine smiles a Coaima's french and Cosima smiles at her perfect sentence. The two of them think I don't know what they said, but I do. "Là est une chambre enhaut" I say, as I make my way over to Krystal and Tony. Both Cosima and Delphine blush intensely and mske their way upstairs.
Tony is talking about how he needs a haircut and Krystal is saying how she can help. "You'll give me bald patches!", he exclaims, backing away. "I think that'd be an improvement" she says, looking him up and down. "Well, I can pull off just about anything" he says, posing like a model. "Absolutely. Now go find Felix and give hima a go" Krystal says, waving him away. "He probably could pull it off though" I say, annoyed. "Yeah he could. Hot little shit" Krystal agrees. We bith chuckle and take a seat at the kitchen bench. MK looks up from the stove, blushes, looks back fown and continues what she was doing. "MK, you can flip those now" Gemma calls, from where she's breaking up chocolate. "Yes Gemma" Mika calls back, flipping the pancakes. Oscar walks into the Kitchen and knocks the flour over. "Oh my god Oscar! Get out!" Gemma screams at her brother. Both me and Krystal giggle and MK smiles. "Oh no, don't come help clean up" Gemma says sarcastically.
I grab plates out of the cupboard while everyone gathers around to get some pancakes. "Umm, just a minute" Mika whispers, but no one heats but me. "Oi, she said just a minute!" I yell, startling everyone. Sarah whispers something to Cosima and they both look at me and then to Mika. A smirk crosses both their lips and I blush a little as I hand out the plates. As I walk over to Cosima and Sarah and hand them their playez I hear Cosima whisper, "wonder when they're gonna go on a date ?" I give her a look and hand out the rest of the plates.
I'm sitting down eating my pancakes as MK walks up and sits down next to me. "Thanks for, uh, getting everyone's attention earlier" she mumbles, looking down at the floor. "No worries, it was nothing". My accent shows through snd Mika giggles. "Hey, stop laughing at me. My accent is sexy" I say flirtatiously. She smes shyly at me. "Umm, I was wondering if it would be okay if I stayed the night? It's to far to walk back at night". She looks back down, twiddling her thumbs. "Dure. I've got six bedrooms. And four of them are free for now. Pretty sure Cosima and Delphine are ysing one upstairs, if you know what I mean"I finidh, and Mika gives me a horrified look. "Yeah and I swear everyone is going to end up staying. So if there are none left you can share with me". "Thanks" she says and wonders off somewhere.
