I'm truly sorry for the two-week hiatus (again), I still was really busy studying! I hope you like the chapter, and remember that you can leave your opinion in a review! :)
"I think we should go back to the academy." the headmistress said hours later, watching the sky get darker through one of the windows of the hut.
"Just wait a moment; I still have to pack some stuff."
"Okay, I'll wait here then."
Misty entered the hut in a rush, grabbing the clothes that rested on a chair and putting them in a travel bag. Then she went to a drawer and, taking advantage that Cordelia was outside, she pulled out a small, wooden box that she was sure that she would need one day.
"So... how did it go?" Zoe whispered with curiosity when the swamp witch went to the toilet after having dinner, making the Supreme sigh. She tried to ignore the question, just to find the three girls looking at her with questioning looks.
"It went well." she finally answered. From the moment she had left the house with Misty that morning, she knew that the girls would start an interrogation when they came back, but she didn't expect Madison to be there, listening. She had always felt awkward when talking about her private life with anyone that wasn't Myrtle, but the fact that Madison was always snapping and mocking everyone in the house (and specially her) made the headmistress feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Just well?" Queenie raised an eyebrow.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Oh God, Cordi, it's not that hard." the blonde girl who stood in the door smoking a cigarette said. Here we go. "Did you fuck her or not?"
"Madison!" Zoe exclaimed.
"That's incredibly rude, Madison."
"You still haven't answered."
Cordelia remained silent.
"So that's a no. Ha." Madison said, throwing the finished cigarette to the fireplace and lighting another one. "Our little Cordi has the guts to be a Supreme but is incapable to fuck her girlfriend."
"Why are you so interested on that, Madison?" Zoe shouted, watching the actress walk out of the room. "Now that the bitch is gone," she turned around to face the Supreme. "What happened?"
"Nothing happened, girls. We just went out together to her swamp, and then spent the day there."
"Tell me at least you two have kissed."
Cordelia smiled.
"Oh my God, you've kissed!" the girl exclaimed.
"Finally!" Queenie rolled her eyes.
"When did it happen?"
"Yesterday. After the party." Cordelia felt her face turn red. It was weird for her to have someone to talk about that, and it was even weirder when that someone were two teenage girls that had had just one relationship. While Queenie had just started dating a boy named Lee that attended the university, Zoe and Kyle were as cheesy as a teenage couple could be. Myrtle, who had been hearing all the conversation from the kitchen, loved to see how everyone was getting their happy ending, including her beloved Cordelia. She didn't want to see Cordelia go through the pain of losing someone you love again. She obviously knew what it felt to lose someone loved. She had become a widow almost twenty years ago, when her husband had died in an unfortunate accident in Hawaii, and sometimes the only thought of the life she could have had with him was as painful as being burned at the stake. She took a sip of her Bloody Mary and walked out of the kitchen.
"Cordelia, dear." she said, putting her free hand on the Supreme's shoulder. "I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks, Myrtle." Cordelia said with a smile. "But please, don't say anything to Misty, okay? I don't want her to feel uncomfortable with you knowing it."
"Knowing what?"
"Eh..." Cordelia muttered, unable to come up with an excuse.
"She was telling us that you had to jump over the fence to enter yesterday." Zoe lied. Cordelia looked at her, wondering how the hell she knew that. "I told her that I had heard something, but I didn't know it was you."
"Oh, I see." Misty said, not totally believing the girl's words.
"Well, we two have to go." Zoe said, pulling Queenie's sleeve and getting her out of the kitchen. Cordelia looked at the swamp witch take a seat on the table before standing up and placing herself between the swamp witch's legs. She took her hands on hers as she placed a quick kiss on her cheek.
"It's that true?" Misty, who obviously had been listening from outside before entering the room, asked.
"What?"
"I'm your girlfriend now?"
"Yes!" Cordelia smiled happily before suddenly realizing that she hadn't even talked about that with her. "Well, if you want…" the headmistress continued saying, looking down to their hands as she encouraged herself. She remembered the first night after becoming the Supreme, and how she had had a nightmare about Misty getting stuck in hell. Good thing that she came back in the nick of time. She couldn't have lived without her, and she had realized that when she held the swamp witch's body against hers during the Seven Wonders. She sighed and looked up to the witch's green eyes. "Do you want to be my girlfriend, Misty Day?"
"I thought you'd never ask." Misty answered, kissing her girlfriend passionately before pulling apart and add "I'm the Supreme's girlfriend." with a giggle.
"And for that I'm the luckiest witch ever."
