"Hurry up, Carm!" Laura yelled trying to get her wife to move faster.
"I don't understand why you're in such a hurry to see the people you went to high school with," Carmilla said folding her shirt into her suitcase.
"Maybe so I can make all the jocks in my class jealous they couldn't even have a chance with you!" Laura said before kissing Carmilla's cheek, "Besides it's four days away. I'm excited to see my dad."
"Sure, you are. Any friends I might meet?" Carmilla asked curiously.
Laura was quiet for a minute, "Yeah, totally. Lots of them," she laughed loudly before getting quiet.
"Sure, cupcake," Carmilla said, "I love you."
"I love you too," Laura said putting a smile back on her face.
"Good because I don't just go to any reunion."
"I know, you wouldn't go to your own even though I told you to."
"I didn't feel like sharing you," Carmilla said.
"I'm well aware of that fact. You practically wouldn't let me leave your side for a week."
"You weren't complaining, but what did you expect? We just started having sex again and we admitted to loving each other," Carmilla said defending herself.
"I know, you don't have to defend yourself. I was in on that too," Laura said, "Are you ready?"
"If you want me to walk around without underwear for the next week then sure," Carmilla smiled at Laura's darkening eyes.
"No, no, no, I'm not falling for that trick for the fifth time! Get everything you need, I'll be on the couch when you're ready," Laura said getting off their bed.
"Ready for what exactly?" Carmilla asked as soon as Laura was out of the bedroom door.
"Why did I marry you?" Laura asked half-joking.
The couple was finally in the car, Carmilla satisfied and Laura acting as if she hadn't given into her wife's wishes.
"Is there anything I should be concerned about?" Carmilla asked.
"About what? You've been around my dad over a thousand times," Laura said.
"Not him, your dad loves me as if I'm his daughter too," Carmilla smiled at that thought, "I'm talking about your high school friends. Should I be concerned about an old ex or someone who had a crush trying to steal you away from me?"
"What?" Laura asked mocking offense, "You really think I would allow someone to steal me off?"
"No, I like being the only one that hits on you. You also happen to be a bit oblivious when it comes to flirting." Carmilla looked at her giving a quick look before turning back to the road.
"I'm not that bad."
"I could've told you that I liked your face and you would've assumed that I thought you had nice skin."
"Well don't you think I have nice skin?"
"The quality of your skin is amazing along with the softness but that's not the point right now," Carmilla said feeling a bit irritated.
"I'm yours, I swore to that the moment we said our vows to each other. I even swore it while we were dating," Laura said.
"I know."
"You're just a possessive person, I'm well aware."
"I am not," Carmilla yelled.
"Really? Do you know how many hickeys you leave?"
"That doesn't mean anything."
"I had to buy makeup for my neck and arms!" Laura said before she started laughing, "What even started this conversation?"
"I was worried about running into one of your exes at the reunion," Carmilla said trying to fight back her laughter.
"I love you, don't worry about anything like that," Laura said leaning over to kiss Carmilla's cheek.
"Do you want to pull over?" Carmilla smiled mischievously.
After their 'emergency' stop and the remainder of the drive, they made it to Laura's dad's house. Laura was asleep in the passenger seat and Carmilla was exhausted. She carefully picked Laura up out of the passenger side and carried her to the front door ringing the doorbell carefully with head.
Luckily it didn't take long for Papa Hollis to open the door and take Laura from Carmilla to carry her up to her room while Carmilla went to get their bags. Carmilla took their bags upstairs and walked downstairs with Mr. Hollis. He went to the kitchen while Carmilla got settled on the couch, and when he came back he handed Carmilla a beer and sat down in his armchair.
"What took you two so long?" He asked.
"I took awhile packing," Carmilla said.
"Thank you for attempting to lie to me."
"Did I have an uncertain voice?" She asked.
"No, I just can't forget finding you two with your hand down her pants," he said disgusted before taking a sip of his beer.
"I'm really sorry about that," she apologized for that yet again.
"No, stop apologizing for it. You made me realize she was a functioning adult and that I could trust you with her."
"Thank you, sir."
"Carmilla."
"Sorry, Mark," she corrected herself, "Should I be worried about this reunion at all?"
"Carmilla, you're all Laura needs for this reunion," he said.
"Ok, I'm just worried about meeting her friends."
"Carmilla, you have nothing to worry about. You're on great terms with her friends."
"Yeah, but that was very rocky from the start," Carmilla let out a small laugh.
"I love you like my own child, but when we first met each other that wasn't a great time either."
"I was a bit jealous, honestly. You are a great father, and I never had a dad. You were willing to treat me like your own and I just resented because I was worried about letting you down," Carmilla said.
"I'm well aware of that now. I didn't let someone I didn't know marry my daughter. You're a good person after someone gets under that layer," Mark smiled at his daughter-in-law.
"Thank you," Carmilla said before finishing her beer, "I better get some sleep."
"Ok, I'll probably be at work when you two get up," he said finishing his beer, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Mark," Carmilla said before starting her journey up the stairs.
She changed her clothes and climbed into bed next to Laura, who was still asleep in her clothes from earlier.
"Laura," Carmilla nudged her.
"What?" Laura mumbled.
"You might want to change."
"Wait, we're there?"
"Have been for over an hour," Carmilla laughed at Laura's shocked expression, "Your dad went to bed. You'll see him tomorrow."
"Sorry for falling asleep," Laura apologized while she was changing.
"Don't be, but could you please go back to sleep? I've been awake since three this morning."
"Carm, it's one in the morning."
"Dammit, Hollis."
So it's been awhile since I actually wrote. This showed up out of nowhere and I just started writing. So I'm going to give this a shot.
Hoped you enjoyed and have a nice day and farewell.
