The Beginning of The End

Chapter Nineteen

You ended up falling asleep cuddled into Delias side, but she ended up waking you so you could return to Mina. You were a bit cranky because you were tired as hell, but when she pressed chaste kisses to your cheeks, nose, and eyes, all while whispering sweet things, you forgot why you were mad. 

While you were initially annoyed, you were happy Delia woke you because it would probably upset Mina if she found out you left her again. Delia had absolutely no reason to care about how mad Mina would be when she woke and found you missing. But she woke you anyway. You didn't know if it was to a keep the peace or because she cared, but either way you appreciated the gesture. Especially, since you knew she still was angry about the stunt Mina pulled the previous day. 

You honestly got the feeling that Delia did care a bit about Mina's wellbeing. She looked genuinely upset at times when Mina was crying and tried to smooth things over when you fought with the stubborn redhead. You were probably just being hopeful, and Delia just tried harder to be nice because she was a good person, but a nagging feeling made you think it was more than that. 

.................

"Wake up my darlingg" you groaned but kept your eyes shut. Warm lips kissed down your neck and you hummed but still didn't stir. 

"Time to wake up my little minx" Mina purred nipping at your collar bone. 

"Nooo let me sleep" you whined. 

"Come on baby, why don't we take a hot shower then we can go make some breakfast?" 

Your stomach growled at the mention of food making Mina chuckle. 

"Food first then?" She said pushing the hair out of your face as you sat up and yawned. You looked a mess; you were tired, and your hair was for sure a rat's nest, but you couldn't bring yourself to care. Especially not when Mina looked at you so adoringly. 

"My sleepy princess" she mumbled kissing your nose sweetly. Your stomach rumbled again apparently annoyed you weren't moving fast enough. 

"Come on sweet girl, let's feed that beast before it eats us" She teased poking your tummy. 

You knew Delia was up from the delicious smells coming from the kitchen. You smiled brightly as you saw her. Her blonde hair was tied up in a messy bun, and she was still in her pjs from last night. A beautiful sight. You looked over to Mina and noticed she too had her eyes fixed on Cordelia. However, her stoic expression revealed nothing.

"Good morning baby" she smiled before politely adding "and to you as well Ms. Venable." 

"Good morning!" You responded as you walked around the island to hug her. She pulled you into her arms before swatting your but and telling you sit. 

You noticed that Mina pulled your seat closer to hers when you went to sit, probably because she was jealous. But when you looked at her, she looked rather smug, most likely still gloating that she got to have you Infront of Delia. You knew Mina was sorry she hurt you... but not exactly sorry she did it. You knew she desperately wanted to put Delia 'in her place'. Her possessive streak ran deep, but you couldn't complain...you kind of loved that about her. 

To Delias credit she looked completely unfazed and smiled sweetly at Mina. Probably also smug about the fact that you once again left Mina's bed for hers. But she kept it to herself, thank God. 

"Mina why don't you let Delia call you by your first name? It's weird that she calls you Ms. Venable." You said before stuffing your face with another bite. 

"Your so messy" Cordelia laughed reaching for a napkin, but Wilhemena beat her to it grabbing one herself. 

"I've got it." Mina smirked while wiping your face.
