Date No2
Laura went inside, turned on her laptop and scrolled trough Netflix not really paying attention to it, she thought about her date with Carmilla, about a lovely night filled with soft but careful touches and gentle words; she waited for a few more minutes before typing a message to Carmilla.
Laura (10:56): I had a great time Carm
Carm (10:58): I’m glad cupcake
Carm (10:58): Me too
Laura (11:00): Is it weird that I kind of miss you?
Honey blonde bit her lip, feeling slightly embarrassed, so she quickly typed another message.
Laura (11:00): Don’t answer that
Laura (11:00): it’s weird…
Carm (11:02): it’s not weird, I’m an excellent company cutie, so who could blame you
Laura (11:03): Keep up that attitude and we’ll see
Carm (11:03): I’m kidding
Carm (11:04): I miss you as well, by now I’m used to you and your rumbling personality
Laura rolled her eyes while reading the brunette’s reply.
Laura (11:05): Carmmmmmm
Laura (11:05): You are being mean
Carm (11:07): Laura you are the only person I want to spend time with
Carm (11:07): Does that tell you something?
Laura (11:08): Carmilla Karnstein, the broody and mysterious writer likes me :D
Carm (11:10): be a child Laura Hollis, see if I care
Laura (11:11): don’t pout
Laura (11:11): I know you are pouting
Laura (11:12): I can almost see it
Laura (11:12): Carmmmmmm
Laura (11:13): Don’t be mad
Laura (11:14): I didn’t mean to upset you
Carm (11:16): Cupcake how you manage to rumble via text I’ll never understand
Laura wanted to stop this pointless bickering she had going on with Carmilla, not because she didn’t enjoy their verbal matches, but because she really needed to ask the other girl a question.
Laura (11:16): so when am I seeing you again?
Carm (11:18): soon
Carmilla replied fast and quickly typed in a computer browser. When she found the information she was looking for, she sent another message to Laura.
Carm (11:22): Are you free on Sunday?
Laura (11:23): I am now
Brunette grinned reading this.
Carm (11:24): Ill pick you up around 4pm, dress casually
SUNDAY
Carmilla showed up in front of Laura’s door wearing tight black jeans and a white shirt that said “Sex, drugs, rock n roll”, holding her sunglasses in left hand, blonde never seen her look so relaxed and casual. It was a rare sight to see Carmilla without her leather pants, but Laura didn’t mind this look at all. She was just glad that her and Carmilla’s version of casual are similar, since Laura was wearing her dark blue jeans and a plain red shirt.
Carmilla gave her a hug and a gentle kiss before grabbing her hand and tugging the blonde outside.
“C’mon, we don’t want to be late cupcake”, the brunette said.
“Where are we going Carm?”
“We are going to a trivia night at the local bar”, Carmilla explained.
With that Laura stopped walking and just looked at the other girl, like she was contemplating what to say or how to say it.
Carmilla stopped as well looking at the honey blonde trying to recognize the emotion on her face “You don’t like it? We can go someplace else”, she blurted out, not wanting to push Laura to do something she doesn’t want to.
“No, Carm I love it! I always wanted to go, but LaF usually makes fun of me and I’m left without a partner”, Laura was now bouncing around like a kid in a candy store. “It sounds perfect”.
“Well cupcake I gathered I can use your geeky knowledge of a popular culture in my advance”, Carmilla smirked and Laura slapped her playfully.
“You are just as big of a nerd as am I”, Laura stated.
“And whose fault is that cutie? I was a creature of the night before I met you.”
“Yeah, yeah, sure you were… Carmilla the vampire”, blonde teased as they continued walking. They bickered all the way to the bar.
By the end of the night they didn’t win, but Carmilla discovered that Laura is very competitive and that she mumbles all kinds of curses when she gets a question wrong. Laura noticed that her date knows a little bit too much about literature and almost nothing about pop culture and that got her smiling because she will have something to teach Carmilla.
“Cupcake we lost, how are you this cheerful?” said the brunette while watching Laura bounce around her. “Beer does strange things to you, I just noticed that”, she teased the other girl.
“It doesn’t! I am an excellent beer drinker, thank you very much”, Laura said and continued bouncing around.
“Sure you are cutie”, Carmilla confirmed and put her arm around Laura’s waist, keeping the other girl in a slow walking pace.
“And I’m cheerful cause this was a best date ever Carm, thank you”, Laura finished by giving Carmilla a long but chaste kiss.
It took them longer than expected to reach Laura’s home, but when they did Laura just pulled the other girl inside and declared that they are watching Buffy because “God Carm! How can you say you never watched Buffy that should be illegal”.
They fell asleep on a couch all cuddled up while 3rd episode was playing on Laura’s laptop.
