After a full day of putting up flyers for a roommate for her apartment Laura only has a few left and then she can finally chill out back at her apartment, spend what will be the last few days doing what she wants in peace.
She walks down the street and sees a perfect lamppost to put up one of her flyers, she heads towards it at an enthusiastic pace; while looking down at her flyers to take one from the remaining pile.
Abruptly she feels her left shoulder being hit causing her to stumble forwards, "Hey!" she cried out as she tries to regain her composure.
"Urg, just watch where you are going next time," spat the person that stood in front of her, "if you had your head up and were looking where you were going we wouldn't be in this mess"
"But you obviously saw me to know I wasn't looking up, you just could have moved out of the way" Laura huffed, "this is as much your fault as it is mine"
"Whatever," the girl, who was wearing all black, bickered "I have better things to be doing than standing here arguing with you" and just like that she stormed off in the opposite direction leaving Laura rather flustered.
Laura finally fully regains her composure and carries on putting up the last few flyers before heading off home for an evening full of cookies, soda and Netflix to recover from the day's drama.
The flyers were sent out 2 weeks ago, so far she's only had 3 people come around and all of them didn't even seem interested.
Thoughts like; was it me? Was I a bit too forward? Whirling around in her mind.
She just finds it gets lonely here at night, a bit spooky even. She does enjoy the space however, not having someone in your space going through your stuff it's nice; she has privacy. Laura sighed to herself in hope of a miracle.
There was a knock on the door. 3, very, loud bangs. Once again sighing she gets up and goes to the door.
She opens the door to find a girl standing there, just a bit taller than herself.
She's wearing black leather pants that are clinging to her and highlighting all of her curves, with a black tank top on with a red and black plaid shirt tied around her waist, her dark black hair just resting on her shoulders; a complete contrast to her pale soft skin.
Her beautiful deep brown eyes, so dark and full of mystery and staring right back at Laura.
"Urm…hello"
"Hello, cupcake" she said barging past Laura heading towards the empty room in the apartment.
"And who are you?" Laura scoffed with an obvious tone of annoyance
"I'm your new roommate sweetie" a smirk appeared on her lips and she turned around dumping her bag on the floor
"I don't think you are and I am pretty sure you're the person who bumped into me a few weeks ago" Laura stared at the bag that had just been thrown onto the floor of the apartment.
"Well you're looking for a new roommate, are you not? And well you caught me on a bad day"
"Well yes bu..."
She cut Laura off mid-sentence, "well that's sorted then isn't it," she walks to the doorway of the empty bedroom.
"No it's not sorted! For all I know you could be some crazy psychopathic murderer that's just come waltzing into my dorm room and is laying on the bed for all I know"
Laura raged with her hands flying in all direction highlighting the fact that she is super annoyed.
"Oh darling, you have no idea how good I am at waltzing," that smirk becoming more prominent on her face, what did that even mean Laura thought to herself.
"I don't see anyone else's stuff here, you have space free and I need somewhere to stay. It's a done deal."
Laura huffs while shaking her head sitting on her bed, this is what she wanted, a roommate but not her; she had just come barging in making herself at home.
'Who does she think she is?' Laura suddenly realizes that they don't even know each other.
"We don't even know each other's names" Laura finally says after a very long moment of silence with this girl staring, rather intently at her.
"Carmilla and you're Laura."
"Oh, so not just a psychopathic murderer but a stalker too…Brilliant," Laura rolls her eyes in frustration.
"I can't believe I am doing this," Laura mumbles and stands up walking over to her desk.
"Considering the fact that you've already made yourself at home," Laura says while gesturing at Carmilla who's still leaning in the doorway, "you can stay."
"Oh how thoughtful of you" the sarcasm leaking from Carmilla's lips.
Laura turns around to face Carmilla, "I didn't have to do this, I could just kick you out, and this is my apartment, so less of the sarcasm and be a little more grateful."
Frustration radiating throughout Laura's body, what has she gotten herself in for she thinks to herself.
She has just agreed to letting some stranger live with her, who really needs to gets some manners.
Lafontaine stands outside Perry's house, a regular occurrence but this time it is different, this time they are not friends; this time it's a date and Lafontaine is standing in their best shirt and bow tie waiting to go on a date with her.
Nerves are radiating throughout their body a million and one things going through their mind.
The door swings open and there stands Perry, she's got a big smile across her face and is staring right back at Lafontaine. Lafontaine takes in all of Perry's beauty, they take in the small details like how pale blue her eyes are contrasting against her crimson red lipstick; to the bigger details like how beautiful she looks in that flowery dress that highlights all of her curves.
"Y-you look just...wow" the words stuttering from their mouth in disbelief at the beautiful woman standing in front of them.
Perry puts a piece of loose hair behind her ear and smiles shyly, "Thank you and you're wearing my favorite shirt and bow tie," Perry beams.
Lafontaine looks down at their shirt and smiles "Well I knew you liked it so I thought, why not."
"Well that is definitely a good reason," Perry nods "anyway should we go? We don't want to be late."
Lafontaine smiles and motions for Perry to take the lead
Lafontaine gets into the driver's side of their truck, it was slightly old and rusty but it did the job perfectly. Perry hopped next to Lafontaine in the passenger's seat and buckled up her seatbelt. "How does this piece of junk metal still run?" Perry says while settling into the leather seat "it still amazes me"
"Hey! There is no need to be mean now is there," Lafontaine says patting the steering wheel "don't listen to her, she's just jealous of our beautiful relationship" Lafontaine says while smirking at Perry.
"I'm not jealous of some old truck" Perry states
"hmm...yeah whatever" Lafontaine laughs while starting up the engine.
The journey was a quick one, full of small talk between Lafontaine and Perry. Both of their nerves settling in an instant forgetting that this was their first official date. They had known each other since they were five and they soon became inseparable; they were there for each other through thick and thin.
Lafontaine pulled up into a parking space as close to the cinema as possible, they had planned to go watch 'The Theory of Everything' with each other and then go for a meal. They both got out of the car together and Lafontaine took Perry's hand and they walked proudly together into the cinema, hand in hand.
"2 tickets to see the theory of everything, large popcorn and a large coke please" Lafontaine said handing over the money.
The guy handed them back the 2 tickets, popcorn and the drink of coke and told them to enjoy the film and Lafontaine thanked him.
Perry and Lafontaine made their way to the cinema screen and took their seats. They sit down next to each other and Lafontaine puts their arm around Perry's shoulder while putting the popcorn in-between them and the coke in the cup holder; just in time for the film to start.
