Cosima sat at Bobby's bar with Felix. Felix had called her as soon as he got back. She was upset to say the least. They each took their shots. "So how are you holding up?" He asked.
"I'm fine Felix." She waved him off.
"No you're not. You're ex-girlfriend slept with your sister. How can you be okay with that?" He asked.
"Shay says that apologizing will cleanse my soul and help me heal." She said.
"You're not Shay, darling. You've known her for what? Almost a week? And you're letting her have a say in how you feel?"
Cosima shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe she's right. Delphine told me we were over. I just need to forget her." But how can she forget Delphine when she still loved her.
"Well I agree with you on that." He never liked her much.
"What do I do Felix? I think I still love her, but I like Shay. Delphine doesn't want to be with me. She made that very clear."
"Okay first, we need another drink." They both take another shot. "You need to move on, darling. Why continue pining after someone who doesn't want you, when there is someone you like and who wants you too?" She knows he's right. "Speak of the devil, here she is."
Cosima turned around and Shay was heading over to them. "Hey. Shay, this is my brother Felix. Felix, Shay." She introduced them and they shook hands.
"Well I have a meeting with a client, so I'll just leave you two to mingle." He said.
"He seems nice." Shay says.
"He is." Cosima looks her up and down. "Do you wanna dance?"
"I'd love too." Shay takes her hand and Cosima leads her to the dance floor.
Delphine sat in her bathtub sipping her bourbon. She'd had a few too many. It wasn't what she normally drunk, but it reminded her of Sarah. It tasted like Sarah. It warmed her like Sarah had. Sarah had looked and tasted like Cosima, but she had felt different. She had felt unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. Sarah had felt stronger than Cosima. Her hands were a little bit rougher. She kissed differently. Where Cosima was slow and gentle, Sarah was rough and possessive. She had liked it. She moved her hand down her body, gently rubbing her fingers in circles around her clit. Sarah had responded so well to her. Sarah had been so wet for her. And she had been so wet for Sarah. She wanted to feel Sarah's hands on her. Feel her mouth on her sex. She moved her hand against herself and thought only of Sarah until she came with Sarah's name on her lips.
She sat in the tub thinking about her actions. She loved Cosima and Cosima loved her, so why couldn't she stop thinking about Sarah? She couldn't even stay in her office without getting aroused because the thought of having the smaller woman against the wall drove her insane. She loved Cosima, but Sarah was different. Sarah understood why she had to end it with Cosima. She couldn't deny the attraction she felt to the British woman. She wanted Sarah and she was sure Sarah wanted her. She wanted Cosima too, but would Cosima even want her now after what happened? Her thoughts are interrupted by a phone call. Who would be calling her so late?
"Allo?" Her voice was garbled from the wine.
"Dr. Cormier?" It was Martin, Rachel's former assistant.
"Yes, Martin what is it?" She was a little irritated to say the least.
"We found Helena." He said.
"What, where?"
"She's in Mexico. Someone found her on the side of the road and took her to the nearest hospital. Do you want us to send someone to retrieve her?"
"No, no, no she's unpredictable and wouldn't trust anyone we send. Sarah will have to go and I will go with her."
"Okay, I will arrange a plane to take you there." He said.
"Merci, Martin." She hung up and then dialed Sarah's number. She doesn't necessarily have to go with Sarah. She could send someone else, but she's not going to pass up the opportunity to spend time with her. Sarah didn't answer. She left her a quick message and then made her way to bed.
Meanwhile, in the house Cal bought for him, Sarah, and Kira, Sarah lays awake with Cal spooning her. The sex had been great with him. She enjoyed it, but he couldn't top how Delphine made her feel. She felt guilty for wishing she was with Delphine while she was with Cal. Was this lust or love she was feeling for Delphine? She wanted Delphine, there was no denying that. She still hadn't told Cal about what happened. It's not exactly lying to him and they never said they were exclusive. She didn't want to hurt him the way she hurt Cosima. She'd never seen Cosima that angry before. Cosima hated her. How was she ever going to fix this? Her phone went off for the third time that night. It was Delphine. She had already left her a voicemail, but she kept calling. She figured it must be important.
"Hello?" Sarah's voice sounded tired.
"Sarah? Um hello? I uh have news about Helena."
"Really?" Where is she? Is she okay?" Sarah was suddenly more alert. She sat up.
"She's in Mexico in a hospital and-" Sarah cut her off.
"I want to go get her." Sarah finished for her.
"Yes, I assumed as much. Martin has arranged a flight. We leave tomorrow at noon. Can you be ready?" Delphine asked.
"Yeah, yeah I'll be ready." Sarah said.
"Good, meet me at DYAD then."
"Okay, I'll see you then."
"Okay, bye." Delphine said
"Bye." Sarah said back.
Getting on a plane with Delphine for several hours seems like a bad idea. "Who was that?" Cal asked sleepily.
"Delphine, she found Helena." She laid back down.
"And you're gonna go get her?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"You just got back, let them handle it."
"Cal I can't, she'd go nuts if they tried to take her. I need to be there."
"Okay, okay. What are you gonna tell Kira?"
"I don't know, that I'm getting Helena back." Sarah hated to leave her daughter when she just got her back.
"She'll understand, y'know."
"Yeah, I know." She hoped she understood.
After that, Cal fell back to sleep. Sarah tossed and turned. The weight of finding her sister and spending more time with Delphine weighed heavy on her shoulders.
