It's Complicated...

You know him?

I woke up in the morning really early, so early Mina was still sleeping. But that's how I wanted it to be, I wanted everything to be sorted before she woke up. If my memory serves me right, Delia was always up super early.

So I would be able to catch her and we could just talk one on one without the possibility of being interrupted. I tip toed out the room in my night gown and robe and made my way to the library.

She wasn't there but I remember this trick or spell she taught me. It was so I could always find her or she could always find me. So I said the chant as best I could from memory and I thought it didn't work for a moment.

Until I heard the library doors opening, I knew it could only be one person. She walked through the doors, rubbing her eyes and sat down next to me. "We're you sleeping?" I asked surprised, "no I didn't sleep last night so I'm pretty tired" she yawned.

"Sorry. I hope it wasn't because of me" I said looking down. She lifted my chin to look at her, "no sweet girl it's not your fault" she smiled softly. She let me go and I turned to face her and grabbed her hands.

"I talked to Mina last night" I said, "and she agreed" she happily finished my sentence. "Yes. But... I don't know how to feel about this, I'm worried about it still" I said trying to sort out my fears. "Don't worry your pretty head about that. Before we go any further we'll all have a talk" she reassured me.

"We'll talk out the pros and cons, and just our feelings about the situation. I know you're thinking Wilhemina won't like that but we'll get her to open up. All of our opinions matter here. And since you guys are already in a relationship I don't want to make either of you uncomfortable. We can go at a pace that's comfortable for all of us, ok?" She said taking my uneasiness away instantly.

She could always manage to do that somehow. I pulled her into a hug and she hugged me back tightly. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. I made my way back to Mina and I's room and she went back to hers to try and get some sleep.

I knew she wouldn't say it but this whole thing was making her anxious too. I got back to the room and took my robe off before slipping back into bed with Mina. I managed not to wake her up but I couldn't get myself back to sleep.

My nerves were just bouncing around at the thought of telling her. I could only hope she would react well. I just watched her sleep until she began to stir and I gave her soft kisses as she was waking up. "Well good morning" she whispered in a raspy voice, "good morning sweetheart" I replied.

"You're up early" she said stretching and sitting up, "yeah gotta a head start this morning" I said. I think she knew what I meant because she turned towards me and raised her eyebrows. "I told her yes... but that I was worried and she said we should all talk about it. Like get our thoughts out there to each other and see how we all feel" I said.

She nodded slowly, I could tell she was processing so I just stayed quiet. "Ok" she said and got up and walked to the bathroom. She didn't close the door so I followed her and stood in the door frame. "That's it?" I asked quietly, "again, I don't really know what you want me to say" she said before beginning to brush her teeth.

I thought of a response as I waited for her to finish up. "Well I mean, we're going to like talk about our feelings so. Do you at least have anything in mind?" I asked cautiously. "When the time comes I'll have something to say, ok? You have to take into account the fact that you've thrown a lot at me in the past few days" she said sternly.

"Well it's also been thrown onto me too" I whispered, but then I just walked away. There was no point in arguing and I didn't want to anyway. So I just got dressed and left since I'd already done my morning routine when I got up.
