A long night
It was 3 AM when the phone rang. Noone calls Laura after midnight, so that call scared her.
"Hello?"
"Laura? It's Carmilla."
"Oh my God Carmilla, what happened? Are you okay?"
"Yes cupcake! Everything is fine! I am sorry i scared you."
"Don't worry about it. Why are you calling me though?"
"Nevermind, it was nothing! We will talk tomorrow. Goodnight cutie!"
Laura couldn't sleep after that phonecall. And of course she couldn't just wait for tomorrow. She got up and dressed really quickly and started walking towards Carmilla's house. It was so dark outside and that scared her, but she always had bear spray on her bag, so she was safe! Carmilla's house was not close to hers, but it felt like a minute away. She kept thinking about that phonecall and about that conversation they had before Carmilla's mother interrupted them. What is happening to her?
Before she knocked at the door, Laura stood there silent, thinking of the speech she had prepared for Carmilla
'So, i don't know what is happening to me. You call me and I come running. I feel so good when i am around you, even when the whole world is falling apart. And i only know you for a few weeks. I don't want to imagine my life without you, and I will try my best to keep you in it. I know that i am a pain in the ass sometimes, but I feel like you don't care about that. You like me for who I really am and that makes me feel like the happiest person alive. And i just came all the way here to tell you that, because I can't talk to you over the phone and not look at this pretty face of yours!'
She knocked the door and when Carmilla opened it, the speech she had prepared, suddenly left her head. It was like being hit by a wave. Carmilla was so beautiful in her black t-shirt and shorts. She saw a smile appearing on Carmilla's face, which was a good sign for Laura!
"Cupcake! What are you doing here? You walked all this way? Come in!"
Laura couldn't move. She just stood there staring at Carmilla. She had to move! 'Come on Laura, you can do it! One step for humanity! Come on! Shoot. Why does she have to be so beautiful?'. Her mind was playing tricks on her!
"Uhmm, Laura?"
That was is, she couldn't help it anymore. Laura took a step towards Carmilla and just before their lips touched, she managed to get some words out. "You are driving me crazy".
Carmilla was not expecting that, but the moment their lips touched, she couldn't think anymore. Laura's lips were so soft and she wanted that kiss to last forever. She was holding her as close as she could with her arm around her waist. They started walking towards the living room, without stopping that kiss. The living room was a few steps away from the front door, but they managed to break a lamp on their way there. Laura couldn't make her thoughts shut up 'You are kissing her! You, Laura Hollis, are kissing Carmilla. and damn she is such a great kisser! But you should stop and talk first. But this kiss is awesome! I know but first you need to talk. ohh shut up! No, you shut up'
"Cupcake don't stop!"
"Carm, we need to talk first!" 'Are you happy now stupid brain?'
Carmilla didn't want this kiss to stop, but deep down she knew that everything was so complicated and she couldn't really be with Laura until everything was solved. She kissed Laura one more time, this time the kiss was soft and slow, and she stood up.
"Okay cutie, you are right, we need to talk"
"I'll start. Carm, these past few weeks have been crazy and everything changed. I feel stupid for not talking to you sooner. We've lost so many years, and it is my fault. It is my fault cause I let Victoria plan my every move. I was her puppet. You mean so much to me and ou should know that i will not let anyone hurt you again. I know you must be angry with me for practically feeding you to the wolfs but i didn't mean for any of this to happen. And I am also sorry to.."
"Hey hey hey! I will stop you right there! You don't need to apologise to me. Ever! I wasn't angry with you, i was just hurt, cause you wanted to have people in you life that didn't deserve you. You are the most amazing person I've ever met and you deserve more than Victoria and her gang. And also the bruises make me look like a badass, soo...!"
Laura stopped herself from crying and she hugged Carmilla. They stayed like that until they've fallen asleep. This was actually the first time Carmilla felt so calm while she slept. And it surely won't be the last!
