Chapter 3
It's been almost a month since you and Carmilla had been 'more than friends' and to be honest it was the happiest days of your life, she's not exactly your first relationship but it's the first time you'd finally established labels (well, sort of? You're not exactly sure but you guys are exclusive and it's more than just a short lived fling so that's gotta be something). She stays in your place almost 104% of the time, you don't complain it's just that keeping your hands to yourself seems to be a difficult task lately, you always want some sort of a physical contact with her, either it's hand holding, hugging, kissing, or just skins touching together but hadn't done the do yet.
It's making you frustrated by the time.
It's a Sunday noon and you know Carmilla won't be up for another couple of hours so you take Twinkie to the pet salon for grooming, her fur is getting longer for her own good.
When you got home, you smell a familiar scent of baked mac and faint Neck Deep song in the kitchen. You were mesmerized as always at what you saw, Carmilla is wearing a gray university shirt that says "keep talking I'm diagnosing you" between her shoulder blades, it's a large shirt for her it kinda makes her look like a hanger but these moments when you see her in her sleeping clothes makes your heart beat faster and lungs shut down, she's also wearing her favorite pair of boxer shorts (your boxer short). You stare at her for a little longer, you don't think she has noticed you because she had her earphones on, but your staring game was interrupted by Twinkie hopping down the dog carrier and rubbing her head on Carmilla's ankle as a form of greeting. She's like a cat sometimes, how adorable.
"I didn't notice you were ogling behind, cutie"
"Sorry can't help it" she made her way towards to where you're standing and took your chin to give you a quick peck but you grabbed her on the nape to deepen the kiss, she complied happily and eagerly kissed back. She took your bottom lip between her teeth and sucked gently on it, god how that makes your kneecap feel fragile, you sigh in the kiss and she smiles on it. She grabbed your waist and pulled you closer, bodies flushed pressed against each other and she lowered her hands to your ass and squeezed on it very gently but with pressure. Her lips are now on your neck sucking every skin she cam get access to and that made you let out a whimper and feel her smirk against your neck followed by her tongue. Then the stupid alarm went off indicating the baked mac is done and needs to be put out from the oven.
She pulled away from your neck with a loud pop and laughed.
You both ate the late lunch she prepared and work with chores for half an hour when your phone rings and you know who it is because of the ringtone.
It's from work.
"Hey, any problem?"
"Yes, Laura we need you here you have some tools from forensics that might be helpful to you, it will not take long just pick up the things up"
"Okay, if you say so, I'll be there in 20"
You hang up
"Hey, Carm, they need me at work can you wait for me and look after Twinkie, it won't take long" she just looked at you and smiled.
You change in a more presentable clothes as fast as you could and just when you're about to head out, you felt two arms wrapped around you from behind and pepper your neck with sweet innocent kisses.
"You never mentioned your job to me before"
"It's kinda confidential, Carm, but I'll explain later when I get home" you turn around to catch her lips and added "But don't worry it's not illegal just dangerous" her face looked horrified all of a sudden and-
"Laura!?!"
"I'll explain later okay?"
"Be careful okay?"
You gave her one last kiss and left. You gather the tools and evidences the forensics have for you and quickly went home. But your house was empty when you got home, you knocked in Carmilla's apartment because you already know that if she ain't in your house she's in her own place.
"Oh, another visitor, come join the fun, Miss Hollis" she motioned for your to get in and you were surprised at what you saw, it's a massive pillow fort. Situated in the middle of the living room, her couch and armchair pushed against the wall to make up some space for the pillow fort and her coffe table is being used as a "door", the pillow fort in HUGE.
You laughed, these moments make you fall for her even more. Childlike Carmilla has always been your favorite because she's only like that when you're around.
Both you and Carmilla got settled in the pillow fort, you were starting to wonder where your dog could becaus there's no signs of furry beast around be so you ask her.
"You ginger friend and her puppy-dog of a boyfriend picked her up and since, I thought we needed some time alone-" she cupped your nape and pulled you in for a kiss, she does that thing with her tongue that makes you extremely weak on the knees, thank god you both were sitting. Your phone rudely interrupted, the caller ID says it's your bestfriend/old roomie/ coworker, her contact photo is one of those pictures you have been with together in a party back in college. Carmilla's face went from sweet to sour within millisecond of seeing the contact photo.
She talked to you about the investigation you both are assigned to do at the moment.
When you hang up the phone you see Carmilla, laying down and scrolling on her cellphone her brows are knitted.
"Carm? You okay there?" you try to nudge her, the pillow fort is huge but not big enough to make the occupants have their own personal space, you're seated by her side so you nudge her even more because she's not paying attention at all. "Carmilla!"
"What?" she asked trying to hide her worry and jealousy but you can see it so easily, you basically can see through her without any problem.
"Are mad at me? Look I'm sorry, whatever it is that I did"
"It's not your fault, I mean kinda but just whatever, go talk to your Betty now"
"That's it? You're jealous of Betty? Are you serious? She's straight and even if she's not there's no way she'll be 'mine' because we're bestfriends and I already told you I love you, is there anything to be worried about?" you tried to reassure her, you want to kiss the hell out of her she's so adorable when she's jealous.
"Yes, there's something to be worried about, we're not officially together, Laura, it's just that I don't think you're the relationship type and that will hurt me because you said you love me but you won't get to be mine, feel me?" she rambled on in one short breath
"What makes you think that I'm not the relationship type? Is it because I haven't been with someone since we've met each other?"
"No, I mean, yes, kinda? And you never really mentioned someone special before so how was I to know?"
"God, Carm you're an idiot, of course why would I mentioned you, yes you being my crush when you were with Elle and when you're finally that special person we were like bestfriends? I'm not an expert at this and please don't be jealous with Betty or anyone else I meant it when I said I love you and only you, believe me" you lower yourself so you could catch her lips.
"You're lucky you're cute, but if it's okay with you, can you be my girlfriend? I just, you know, I love you too and I just want us to be official so I could claim my rights to get all touchy and jealous, not that you're my possession just that I want us to be official"
You laughed at that, you're disgustingly inlove.
"Yes, of course, Carmilla, I'll be your girlfriend and you must know that your new girlfriend is an investigative journalist so you better behave."
She was a bit shocked by your confession but you two decided more kissing and less talking.
You wake up early in the morning half of Carmilla's body is draped on yours and you hope you'll be waking up to this for as long you could.
Because finally, you feel complete and you couldn't ask for more.
