Date Date
Midnight after she just got off her shift and Carmilla is hovering her finger over the call button to call her fake girlfriend. But a girlfriend nonetheless right? She hesitates a second more, and then on the one second of whim she musters, she presses the daunting call button. She's just about to hang up when Laura answers.
"Hello? Who is this?" Laura says.
"Um, hey it's Carmilla.."
"Oh hey!"
"I was wondering if you wanted to discuss this whole er- arrangement?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll see you tomorrow in the morning."
"Ok. Good night."
"Good night Carm."
Carm? As Carmilla lays down for bed she thinks of Laura calling her that. Not a lot of people do, but I guess it's fine if we're about to fake girlfriends. And with that, she drifts off to sleep.
The next morning Laura is there and Carmilla is in her Starbucks-but-not-Starbucks colored green apron. Laura swears she hasn't seen such a beautiful sight to wake up and Carmilla is waving her hand in front of Laura before she realizes that.
"Hey, Laura? Earth to Laura? I get off in like 10 so if you want, you can just sit over there for now," Carm says as she gestures to a comfy area of the cafe.
Embarrassed as ever, Laura goes over to the sofa and waits awkwardly. She's definitely into Carm, she knows that much, but was this rash? Before she gets another second to think Carmilla is handing her a coffee of some sort.
"So, are you gonna tell me about yourself or what?" Carm asks, eyeing her.
"I mean, I- i guess. I don't know, it's just all kinda surreal."
"What is?"
"The whole breaking up with Danny thing, I just-"
"Oh. Don't worry about it."
"You're not worried about this whole shebang then?"
Carmilla chooses her next words carefully, "I'm down for whatever you're down for."
Laura blushes. "Well, I should explain though, Danny and I- we broke up sort of because of you."
"Really? Should I be worried about red giant coming back then?" she smirks.
