I'm truly sorry for the two-week hiatus, but I was really busy studying! I hope you like this chapter, and remember that you can leave your opinion in a review! :)
"I'm going to get changed." Cordelia said after pulling apart from the kiss before she couldn't control herself. Her feelings for the swamp witch were strong, but she knew that Misty had never been with anyone else and she didn't want to put pressure on her.
"You'll have to take this to the dry cleaner tomorrow." the swamp witch answered, looking at the woman's silver dress that had been stained with mud. Cordelia started to take it off, exposing the black panties that contrasted so beautifully with her white skin. Misty looked away, trying to ignore that the headmistress was almost naked in front of her and focusing on her own reflection in the mirror. Her white dress was stained, just like her hair. "I think I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay. There's a sleep tee in that drawer." Cordelia said, pointing to the closet. Misty grabbed the t-shirt and entered the bathroom, closing the door after her. Fifteen minutes later, both women were lying on the bed, hugging each other.
"Cordelia."
"What?"
"Are we still going to my hut tomorrow?"
"Of course."
"Good."
"Hello, bitches." Madison said, walking into the kitchen the next morning. She was wearing one of her usual tight black dresses and her hair up in a ponytail. "I finally got a role, so I'm going to be filming at the studio all day." The teenager grabbed a bagel and exited the room. "Don't bother me with your stupid phone calls!" she yelled before closing the front door.
"We weren't even going to think about you, imbecile." Zoe muttered, looking at the other girl through the window. "So," she added, turning to the headmistress "did you have fun yesterday after we left?"
"No. It was horribly boring. What did you girls do? I didn't see you until you said goodbye."
"Well, Madison spent most of the night flirting with Jonah Bradford"
"The son of Carl Bradford, the millionaire?"
"I think so. I don't know how she does it, but somehow she manages to know who the richest ones are."
"Just like my mother. And you and Queenie?"
"We talked to Mrs. Farraday, the owner of the mansion that you want to buy for the academy. She was nice, and I think she kinda liked us, so I think it will be easier to persuade her to lower the price now."
"God, Zoe, that's great! I knew that you would be a wonderful council member." Cordelia said, hugging the girl tightly. They had grown closer since the Cordelia had resurrected her, and Zoe had started to see the headmistress as a motherly figure. Even though her mother still called her once a week, the teenager didn't need much time to realize that the woman wasn't interested on the girl's skills or lifestyle, and in fact had decided to move to Europe. Cordelia, on the other side, had been there for her every single time she had needed help, teaching her to make basic potions and practice her spellcraft skills.
"I don't wanna be a killjoy, but I deserve some credit too, huh?" Queenie said, standing on the door with a smile on her face.
"Come here then!" Cordelia exclaimed, inviting her to join the hug between laughs. "I'm really proud of having you as my council, girls."
"And we're proud to have you as a Supreme."
"Changing the topic," Cordelia said, pulling apart from the girls and grabbing her unfinished cup of coffee. "Misty and I are going to the swamp today, so I probably won't be here all day. You'll have to tak-"
"Oh my God, has she finally asked you out?" Zoe exclaimed.
"What?"
"God, Cordelia, it's so obvious... She loves you!"
"Yeah, and you are in love with her too, so what's the problem girl?" Queenie questioned.
"Girls..."
"Cordelia has a crush on Misty, Cordelia has a crush on Misty..." the girls started chanting.
"Okay, stop it or I'm going to start regretting putting you in the council." she laughed, feeling her face start to blush. "Misty's waiting on the car." she grabbed her purse and headed to the hall.
"You might be the Supreme, Cordelia, but you can't stop the power of love!" the girls shouted to her before exploding in laughter. Cordelia finished putting her coat on and exited the building with a little smile on her face.
"This is a really beautiful place, Misty. No wonder why you love being here so much." Cordelia said later, following the narrow dirt path that headed to the witch's hut. Misty walked in front of her, holding her hand and warning her of the obstacles on the ground. They had been walking for an hour when they arrived to the hut. It was a small cottage, surrounded by plants and flowers that contrasted beautifully with the dead trees that filled the swamp.
"I know it isn't big, but it did for me." the witch stated, opening the door.
"It's nice."
Misty walked to the center of the room and tried to light the bulb that hanged from the ceiling. "Shit, the generator is not working. Delia, do you mind if I try to fix it before going back to the school?"
"Of course I don't mind. Do you need any help?"
"Nah." she said, kneeling besides the bed and taking a tool box from under it. "But come, I'll show you my garden." She opened a door and walked outside, still talking to the headmistress. "You'll see; it's amazing." The smell of blossoming flowers became overwhelming as Cordelia stepped out of the hut.
"Wow, Misty, this is so breathtaking!" she exclaimed, watching the colorful plants and the enormous trees. "Did you make this?" Cordelia asked, taking a seat in an old, hand-made wooden bench covered with bits of moss growing on it.
"Yeah. Almost a year ago. I found some wooden planks near here and I had the tools, so..." she explained, taking a seat next to the woman and putting her hand on hers, intertwining their fingers. "Do you like it?"
"I love it." Cordelia answered, resting her head on the woman's shoulder and admiring the beauty that surrounded her.
