I'll put another chapter up in 2/3 hours, sorry the first two chapters have been a bit slow but things start to pick up next chapter.
(And I promise it'll be much much longer (2k+ which will be the standard length for following chapters also)
"Delphine?" I heard Cosima's voice tugging me back to reality, saving me from the hellish nightmare my dream was about to become. I allow my eyes to take in my surroundings and I find myself back in front of the dull American lake, only to find that now it is not the sun's glare upon it put the silvery moon's shimmer. I look to the moon which takes its place in the centre of the sky as I stare in wonder at the colours which make up the skyline. Pigments of midnight blue blend seamlessly into the greyish mist which spreads across the sky, which conceal the twinkling of the stars which delicately adorn the sky like little drops of glitter.
"Delphine, what the hell?" Cosima asked rhetorically causing my gaze to lower from the sky to lie upon her face "Shit man, you're like a block of ice. How long have you been here?" her voice questioned in a lower, worried tone "Since..." I thought back "About three" I could hear my French accent coming through stronger than usual but my mind still remained elsewhere.
"Shiiiit, Delphine, are you baked?" she laughed
"What? No." I denied, the accusation snapping me back to reality
"Gosh Frenchie, you've just slept here for what, the past 7 hours? I was fricking worried! I rang you like a gazillion times" my hands darted to my side where my phone lay as two numbers illuminate the screen
"Cosima - Missed call x12" but panic lies my face as I look below it " Unknown number - Midnight, my place. Unless you want it all to come out" Leekie. I shiver, unsure whether it is due to the thought of having to see Leekie or the coldness which I can now feel surging through my body
"And just what's up with you?" Cosima asked with a reassuring smile upon her face as she perched next to me, plazing a kiss on my cheek.
"Ahhh, nothing. Just cold" and worried I neglected to add in "I dont know what happened, I must've just been tired I suppose... Shit Cos, 7 hours?"
"Yup" she responded with a shrug whilst draping her red coat around me
"Non, Cos... Don't, you'll get cold" I tried to reject the coat but she was having none of it, there was the stern look in her eyes and I knew well enough that you don't argue with the scientist when she gives you that look. "I dont know what it's like over in France but over here passing out in a park is a little strange" she laughed before looking into my eyes "You're staying at mine tonight and I'm not taking no for an answer."
"OK" I took her hand as she pulled me up, nearly thrown off balance when she gripped me in a tight hug
"You're an adorable idiot." I heard her mutter into my ear
"Yeah, but i'm your adorable idiot"
To see Leekie or not to see Leekie, decisions decisions Delphine.
