Spin the Bottle
One week later
POV Laura
''Hey cupcake.'' I hear someone whisper into my ear. My eyes widen and I turn around. I am relieved when I see a familiar face. I slap Carmilla against her shoulder.
''Stop scaring me!'' I groan. She chuckles. ''What are you doing here?'' Seriously why is showing up at my work? I work in a library and she hates books.
''Well LaF is throwing a party. We should go.''
''I'm not going.''
''Why? Afraid you can't control yourself?'' She wiggles her eyebrows. I roll my eyes.
''You are annoying. I'm not going because I'm tired.''
''You have plenty of time to rest when you get back home. The party starts at midnight.''
''Fine.'' I sigh. She smiles at me. A smirk at her. ''Carm?'' I say in a sweet voice. I turn one of her curls that is hanging down her shoulder around my finger. ''You know I love you right?''
''Okay what do you need?''
''I don't know what you are talking about.'' I try to look innocent. I take a step closer towards her. She raises her eyebrows at me. ''Fine.'' I sigh. ''I need a ride I have a flat tire.''
''I wanted to pick you up anyway.'' She smirks. ''But you can continue this.''
''Nice try Karnstein.'' I take a step back. ''So I'll call you when I'm ready to go.''
''Sounds good to me. So what did you buy them?''
''What do you mean?''
''It's their anniversary remember? LaF and Perry are one year together that's why they are throwing a party.''
''Crap.'' I groan. ''I totally forgot.''
''Relax. We will just say the gift I bought is from both of us.''
''Is that really fine?''
''Sure.'' She shrugs. ''Anything for you.''
''Thanks Carm that's really sweet of you.''
''No problem cupcake.'' She bends towards me. I feel her hot breath against my lips. What is she doing? I'm about to pull back when I see her move her face to kiss my cheek. I smile. Oh that was okay. ''I'll see you later.'' She says and smiles. ''Bye.''
''Bye.''
''Thanks again for picking me up.'' I say while stepping into Carmilla's car. She looks really beautiful today. She is wearing a white shirt and her leather jacket. She is also wearing her leather pants. I mean so always looks beautiful, because she is a beautiful girl, but in this outfit she is just really hot.
I don't shut myself up for these kinda thoughts anymore. I mean I have eyes so I can see she's beautiful. This has nothing to do with feelings.
''Anything for my cupcake.'' She winks at me. I do feel a little different about the whole flirting thing. We always used to do that and I would just laugh at it, but now it feels different. I know I flirt with her too but in a different way. Like this morning in the library, I was just fooling around. But she genuinely flirts with me ...
''Are you going to tell me what you bought for them?''
''Oh just something to make their night a little bit more ... interesting.'' She smirks.
Oh no ...
''Hey guys thanks for coming!'' LaF hugs us. ''Perry is not here yet but she will be here later.''
''That's just perfect because she would probably freak out of she sees the gift I bought you guys.'' Carmilla chuckles. She gives it to LaF. LaF unwraps it.
''Uh what the hell is this?''
''It's a body spray with candy flavor.'' Carmilla smirks and wiggles her eyebrows. My eyes widen. Did she really bought them that?! Oh no and they think it's also a gift from me.
''That's actually pretty cool.'' LaF chuckles. ''Thanks guys.'' They walk into to kitchen.
''Now I understand why you didn't bother sharing the gift.'' I groan. Carmilla laughs.
''Now you know what I'm buying you for your birthday.''
''Uh no thank you.''
''But we can try it out together.'' She smirks. ''I know you like candy.''
''Please stop.'' I blush. ''Go make someone else blush.'' I give her a slight push. She chuckles and walks away. I flop down on the couch next to Danny. ''Hey Danny.''
''Hey. So what's up with the flirting?''
''Huh? What do you mean?''
''You and Karnstein? It's pretty obvious.''
''We always flirt. It's just in a friendly way. We have been doing that for years now.''
''Yeah but this is totally different. You are blushing Hollis.''
''It's just hot in here.''
''Yeah because of Carmilla, you are totally into her.''
''Am not!'' I protest. ''It's just a little different after that night-''
''Woah woah!'' Danny interrupts me. ''What night?'' My eyes widen. Oh no ... ''Laura Hollis did you fuck her?!''
''Ssshh!'' I turn my head to look if someone could have heard that. Luckily LaF and Carmilla are both in the kitchen. ''It was one time and we were both very drunk. We don't even remember everything.''
''So are you gay or ...''
''I don't know.'' I shrug. ''I mean I enjoyed it yeah but ... I can't suddenly be gay right?''
''No. But you can suddenly figure out your feelings. I thought I was straight too until this one girl kissed me. We were friends for a while too but I started to feel different when I was with her. She made me blush and giggle. And sometimes I even had to walk away because I felt like I was going to explode.''
''I-I feel that too when I'm with Carm. Oh no please tell me I'm not falling in love with my best friend?'' I groan. Before Danny can give a reaction I hear this voice. A voice that always makes me feel warm inside.
''What are you guys talking about?'' Carmilla flops down on the couch in between Danny and me. She wraps her arm around my shoulder and her other around Danny's shoulder.
''Hot girls.'' Danny smirks. I give her a warning look. ''Uh and boys- hot people.''
''Really? Who were you talking about?'' Carmilla looks at me and smirks. ''Maybe some girl with long black hair, dark eyes and a pale skin?''
''Definitely not.''
''Hey guys Perry is here!'' LaF says.
''Congratulations Perry.'' The three of us say at the same time.
''Thanks friends.'' She smiles and looks at LaF. ''I'm very happy.'' She kisses them. I sigh. Damn I miss kissing people. I mean sure I kissed Carmilla last week, but it feels like that was months ago. God I feel like a horny teenager.
''Jealous cupcake?'' I can hear Carmilla's smirk in her voice. ''Does someone wants a kiss too?'' She teases and pokes my side with her finger. ''Hmm?''
''No.'' I blush. ''I'm just happy for them.''
''Right.'' She bends her head towards my ear. ''Just know that I don't mind to give a little kiss away.'' She whispers.
''Carm we have talked about this.'' I whisper back.
''What do you mean? I'm just trying to help my best friend.'' She winks. ''So do you want a drink cupcake?'' She gets up. ''I'm having a Bloody Mary.''
''Just a beer please.'' I say. She chuckles and shakes her head. ''What?''
''Nothing sweetheart.''
''Drinking beer is pretty gay.'' Danny says. I roll my eyes at her. ''Just sayin.''
Later that night
''Turning beer into vodka buttercup?'' My eyes widen and I jump at her voice. I turn around and slap her arm.
''Stop-doing-that!'' I hit her with every word. She chuckles.
''I'm just asking a question.'' She places her hands at both sides of my body, at the counter top. She looks at me, faces just a breath away from each other. God the urge to kiss her is so strong. Is she doing this on purpose? Is she trying to prove a point with this? I'm not giving in.
''I'm trying to get drunk, beer is not working.''
''Hmm.'' She hums. ''Let me mix something for you.'' She takes a step back, and I can breathe normal again. ''What about a Sex On The Beach.'' She wiggles her eyebrows.
''Yeah that's fine.'' I say. She smirks. Why is she like this?
''Here you go cupcake.'' She hands me the drink. I take a sip and hum. ''Is it good?''
''Amazing. Thank you.'' I smile and press a kiss against her cheek.
''Cupcake-'' She grabs my hand when I try to walk away. I turn back around. Again, our faces are very close. She looks at my lips and back at my eyes. She sighs. ''-Never mind.''
''Are you sure? Is there something wrong?''
''No.'' She shakes her head. ''Nothing. Never mind.'' She says again. She lazily smiles at me. ''Go enjoy the party, Kirsch was asking for you. I'm just going outside to breathe in some fresh air.''
''Okay.'' I squeeze her hand, which I've been holding this whole time. ''You know where you can find me if you want to talk. I'm always here for you.''
''Alright thank you sweetheart.''
''Hey Little Hottie.'' Kirsch is dancing with Danny and pulls me towards them. ''Where have you been?''
''Just in the kitchen grabbing a drink.'' I say. Kirsch nods and starts to dance again. He tries to pull me closer against him.'' Sorry buddy I'm not in the mood for dancing.''
''Oh come on!''
''I think she rather dances with her hot best friend.'' Danny smirks. ''Right Laura?''
''Are you serious?'' I ask a little angry. ''Can you just not tell everyone? Jesus Danny I thought I could trust you with this information.''
''Everyone can see it!''
''Danny is right.'' Kirsch says. ''You two are obvious.''
''Nothing is going on!'' I groan. ''Just- Urgh!'' I walk away.
''Stupid friends.'' I mumble while walking into the backyard. I see someone sitting in the grass. I that Carmilla? I walk up to her. ''What are you doing here?'' She turns her head.
''I told you, just breathing in some fresh air.''
''That's so not you.'' I say while sitting down next to her. ''You usually prefer breathing in alcohol-air or weed.'' She chuckles.
''I don't feel like partying tonight.''
''What's up?'' I ask. She turn her head to face me. She stares at me for a moment but then shakes her head.
''Nothing you have to worry about cupcake.''
I can see there is something going on. In know every face of her. This is a sad face. I know she isn't always very comfortable with talking about her feelings. So now I just wrap my arm around her waist and sit close against her, trying to comfort her. She sighs and leans in on me, resting her head against my shoulder.
''Whatever it is, it will be fine.''
''Will you stay with me?'' She asks.
''Of course I will. But I have to say, that drink of yours is working so ...''
''That's cool.'' She chuckles. ''Drunk you is fun.''
''We should go back inside.'' I get up and reach my hand out. She smiles and grabs it. I help her to get up. ''Wanna make me another drink?''
Even later that night (Like the time at a party where everyone is drunk as fuck)
''Is my cupcake drunk?'' I hear Carmilla chuckle into my ear when I have to wrap my arm around her to hold myself up. I am drunk as fuck but I feel good. There are persons who will feel sick after some high amount of alcohol ... I'm not that person. I will only feel better and better with every drop of alcohol.
''Is she drunk?'' LaF asks. Carmilla nods. ''Good. Because we are playing Spin the Bottle.''
''What?'' Carmilla asks. ''It's literally your one year anniversary with your girlfriend and you are okay with playing Spin the Bottle?''
''Yeah.'' LaF shrugs. ''I mean we are all friends, no harm.'' I look at Carmilla who looks down at me at the exact same time. This is not a good idea. Nope.
''Cool. Let's play.'' Kirsch says. He sits down. Danny follows and soon everyone is sitting, except for me and Carmilla.
''Carmilla, Laura?'' Perry asks. Carmilla clears her throat.
''Uh yeah ...'' She let go of me and sits down. I try to sit down but tumble against Carmilla. I giggle. ''Watch out cupcake you're going to hurt yourself.''
''I'm fine.'' I giggle. ''I'll go first.''
I take a deep breath and spin the bottle. It feels like it takes ages until it stops spinning. My eyes widen. I look at Carmilla. She looks back at me, with her eyes just as big.
''Maybe we should- mmm.'' Her words turn into a low moan when I cut her off with my lips. Her hands automatically tangle into my hair. I open my mouth and push my tongue against her lips. She immediately let me in. One of my hands is cupping her face and my other hand rests on her leg.
''Damn Hollis!'' I hear LaF chuckle but I don't give a damn. Carmilla's lips just feel so good. And yes I'm drunk, again. And I probably going to regret this tomorrow. But you know what? I need this. I just need to kiss her. She pulls back. Her breath is caressing my skin. I'm frozen. I can't move. ''Okaaay sooo ... this game turned out different than expected.''
''LaF has a secret lounge room in their basement.'' Carmilla whispers into my ear. I just nod. She gets up and helps me to get up too. I stumble again but she holds me close against her body to keep me up.
