THE DATE
Laura was getting restless. It has been 3 months since Carmilla and she started dating, 3 months of thoughtful dates, movie nights, make out sessions, 3 months and Carmilla still didn’t indicate she wanted more. Laura was getting all hot and bothered just by looking at DVD cases of Buffy, because now they remind her of kissing Carmilla, of straddling her on the couch. Honey blonde decided that tonight was the night she will seduce her broody, gentlewoman of a girlfriend.
Carmilla invited her for a dinner, “I’mcooking for you cupcake, get ready to be impressed”, she said.
Laura strategically picked out her outfit, tightest black jeans that perfectly showed her legs, combined with silky, dark button up that revealed just enough of cleavage.
Carmilla’s home was usually filled with scattered papers, empty coffee mugs and books dropped on every surface, but tonight coffee table in the living room was empty, books were neatly put on the shelves, and empty mugs were nowhere to be found. Carmilla greeted honey blonde with a kiss and lead her to the kitchen where she was in the middle of preparing dinner.
Laura’s eyes were glued to the brunette’s body, the way she moved to the soft guitar sounds that were coming from the speakers. Carmilla suddenly turned around catching the other girl in the act. Laura just smirked, not embarrassed by being caught.
“Are my jeans that interesting cupcake?”, Carmilla teased, making Laura bite her lip and smile.
“What’s in them is interesting”, Laura offered, groaning internally about how stupid that line sounded.
Dinner passed with a pleasant conversation about their work days and LaF’s unsuccessful experiment that left them with no eyebrows once again.
“I was thinking we could watch that movie you told me about, you know, that one that was a book and a movie and now is a TV show”, Carmilla tried to remember the name.
Laura just shook her head, playful smirking, “and here I was thinking we could play some music and make out”.
The brunette just smirked and grabbed the honey blonde by the hand, leading her to the couch in the living room. Their kisses quickly became heated and just when Laura was about to pull Carmilla’s shirt off her hands were stopped by the brunette.
“Carmmmm”, Laura groaned, leaning their foreheads together.
“Cupcake you know that I want to, right?” Carmilla asked, eyes closed, trying to steady her breathing.
“Then why don’t you? Why don’t we?” Laura spoke out, “what’s the problem?”, she asked, putting some space between them.
“I just… I just want you to be sure”, Carmilla admitted, “and before you say anything, I’m not talking about sleeping together, I want you to be sure that we are not another safe thing you are choosing”, the brunette’s voice was timid, her eyes locked on her hands.
“Carm…”, Laura reached and took Carmilla’s hands in hers, “look at me”, she pleaded, “you are my safe, you are my peaceful and comforting place, but you are so much more, you are my can’t wait to fall asleep in her arms, my can’t wait to share this idea with her, you are my can’t wait to kiss her. You are so much”, the journalist said, pronouncing every word, making sure the girl next to her understood. She didn’t get to say anything more, because Carmilla kissed her with such passion that left her speechless.
“Bed…”, Carmilla murmured between kisses, “Laura… bed… now…”. And they stumbled to the bed, leaving a path of knocked down things and clothes.
Laura woke up feeling a hand pressed on her stomach and an arm under her head, she just pressed herself closer to the body behind her, enjoying the feeling of belonging.
After a while she slowly turned around and pressed a soft kiss on Carmilla’s lips making the girl smile.
“I knew you are awake”, honey blonde stated in a groggy voice.
“Cupcake… it’s still early, sleep…”, brunette ordered softly, pulling the other girl even closer to her body.
“But it’s a beautiful morning Carm”, Laura offered, putting a couple of more kisses on the other girls face.
“If you make me get up I’m never sleeping with you again”, brunette teased.
The journalist huffed, but slowly set her head on the other girl’s shoulder, “fine, another hour”.
“That’s all I’m asking for sweetheart”, Carmilla planted a kiss on her temple and fell asleep once again.
