QUARANTINED

Day Eight

A soft snore and a loud knock, were all that she could hear while her brain tried to wake up. Like a little song playing in her head as she tried to distinguish if she was dreaming or it was reality. She realised it was reality when the knock became louder and louder.

"I am coming!" She said, her eyes still shut from sleep. She gently removed the arm that was covering her and tossed her legs to the side of the bed. She didn't know why someone was making so much noise in the morning but she hurried out of bed and went to the door.

"What?" she said annoyingly.

"Cordelia" Racheal scowled at the older woman, she truly hated her guts and the fact that she was competing with her for Aaliyah made it easier to despise the woman.

"It is six o clock in the morning, what are you doing here?" Cordelia asked.

"I am here for Aaliyah not you" The doctor pushed the woman out of the way, usually it wouldn't be so easy to push her but her body was still regaining strength.

The Doctor went in, hoping to find the young girl in her bed but when she found an empty, made bed, her eyes moved to Cordelia's bed and there she was. Peacefully snoring while her chest moved up and down, she seemed comfortable and that's when she realised that the young woman was naked in Cordelia's bed.

"What the fuck?" Racheal asked as Cordelia sat on the couch, she was only wearing a pyjama shirt as it was a humid night. So Racheal made the obvious assumption and her anger swam to the top of her head.

"What are you talking about?" Cordelia asked, sounding a little bit too nonchalant.

"You are disgusting!" Racheal shrieked, loud enough to wake everyone else but the hung over girl.

"What the fuck did I do?" she said composedly although she wanted to grab the doctor and maybe even slap her for making a move on a drunk Aaliyah.

"She was fucking drunk and you still slept with her" Racheal bitterly said.

"Oh says the girl who made a move on her regardless of her drunken state?" Cordelia scoffed.

"I did not do that!" Racheal said.

"So Aaliyah was lying when she said you kissed her?" Cordelia furrowed her brows, patiently waiting for the woman to give a stupid reply.

"It was consensual" Racheal said and she believed the words that came out of her mouth, Aaliyah did kiss her back after all.

"Was it? Because even I know that a drunk person cannot give consent" her stoic face slightly intimidating the doctor.

"She kissed me back" Racheal had found herself in Cordelia's court and was explaining herself, she had even forgotten that she was here to see if Aaliyah was alright.

"You know what she said about that?" Cordelia smirked "she said she was certain she was kissing me not you" she chuckled.

"Is that why you decided to sleep with her?" Racheal scowled.

"No, I didn't sleep with her because she was drunk, we only shared a bed" Cordelia said "I know that I am not the girl that pretends to be good when they are just horrid, I am proud of my terrible nature and it is unfortunate that Aaliyah continues to like me regardless of that. I tried to push her away but she is resilient, it is very impressive but I will not allow you to insult me any further by assuming that I would sleep with a drunk girl. Ask around as you have and you will know that I don't do anything without consent and every women I slept with, knew that I wasn't looking for anything but a one night stand" she exhaled.

"I like Aaliyah and whatever it is that occurred last night was an error, I didn't mean to" Racheal softly said.

"If you really do like Aaliyah, then let her come to you and kiss her when she is not drunk. She is a very special person and I will not let you take advantage of her" Cordelia warned the doctor.
