Laura could never get over the fact that woke up tangled with Carmilla Karnstein. Everyone swore that Carmilla would leave her when Laura wanted to get serious. Even after they started being serious, people were making bets that they wouldn't last a day. Now she was happily married to the woman in her bed. She couldn't wait to show her off to everyone at her reunion.
Laura sat up in shock waking Carmilla up in the process, "You ok, Laura?"
"Uh… Yeah, just fine. I forgot we were at my dad's," Laura said before laying her head back on Carmilla's chest.
"Don't worry about him right now, he's probably at work," Carmilla sleepily said bring her hand up to run through Laura's hair.
"Really?" Laura said a bit disappointed.
"He'll be back later, and since you've gotten me up," Carmilla yawned, "you want to go get breakfast?"
"Where do you want to eat?" Laura said getting up.
"IHop?" Carmilla asked.
"Sure," Laura stood up, "I call bathroom!" She ran in and shut the door behind her.
"You know we're married, right? It's not weird if I'm showering with you now," Carmilla yelled.
Laura popped her head out the door, "Then what are you waiting for?"
After they showered they headed out to IHop, they weren't surprised to see the restaurant half full.
"Two?" the waitress asked.
"Yes, please," Laura said before they were lead off to a table.
They ordered their drinks and food and shortly after their food got there, Laura moved to sit on the side with Carmilla.
A different waitress came around, "Hi, my name is Juliette and I'll be serving you for the rest of your meal. Can I get you anything?"
"I'm good," Laura said quickly.
"Can we get the check?" Carmilla asked.
"Right away," Juliette left with strange look on her face.
"That was weird," Carmilla said and looked over at Laura, "You ok?"
"I'm fine, just that was someone I went to high school with," Laura said quietly.
"Oh really?" Carmilla said.
"Carm, what are you thinking?"
"My competition," Carmilla said before pressing her lips to Laura's.
The kiss was shortly lived when Juliette came back, "Here's the check," she placed it on the table a bit embarrassed. When she looked up at Laura, who was staring at Carmilla getting her card out, "Uh… Laura? Laura Hollis?"
Laura broke her gaze and nervously said, "Yeah? Hi."
"Hi, how have you been?" She asked sincere.
"I've been great."
"Well I can see, I mean you're girlfriend looks amazing," she said amazed.
"Well, I don't have a girlfriend. I haven't had one for a few months. Carmilla, here, is my wife," Laura said grabbing Carmilla's hand.
"Congrats," she said.
"How have you been?" Laura stuttered out.
"I've been better," Juliette sighed, "Raising two kids on your own will take it out of you," she let out a pathetic chuckle. "Are you here for the reunion?"
"Yes, I'm here early visiting my dad," Laura said.
"Ok, I'll see you on Saturday then after I bring back the check for you to sign. Nice meeting you, Carmilla," Juliette smiled before she left.
"Feeling possessive?" Carmilla asked Laura while they were walking to their car.
"No, why?" Laura said a bit harsh.
"You haven't let go of my hand since you introduced me. Are you ok?" Carmilla asked concerned when Laura dropped her hand without argument.
"I'm fine," Laura huffed out.
"Ok," Carmilla said unconvinced, "I love you."
"I love you too, Carmilla. Juliette wasn't exactly my favorite person in high school, ok?"
"Don't let her bother you," Carmilla said, "take your own advice."
"You know I can't do that."
"I know," Carmilla said, "What would you like to do? Camp out at your house or doing something around town?"
"I would love to camp out in my house," Laura said with an excited smile.
"I was hoping you would pick something else, but ok," Carmilla sighed.
"Come on, we can build a fort!" Laura said excitedly.
"Anything is good with you," Carmilla said.
"Everything is better with you," Laura smiled at Carmilla.
Later that evening, Mark Hollis walked into his living room after his day at work not surprised to see his daughter and daughter-in-law asleep in their 'fort'. He went to his room to change out of his uniform and then began cooking dinner. He was surprised when he actually finished the meal and Carmilla and Laura hadn't woken up. He walked into the living room and sat in his chair then turned the channel to the news.
"Hey," Laura said sleepily, "did you make dinner?"
"Yes, honey, I did," he said.
"Thank you," she said getting up to go make her own plate, "sorry about being asleep when we got here last night."
"It's fine, I'm just relieved you two made it here safely."
Laura sat down on the couch that was messing its throw pillows and blanket, "Carm is a good driver."
"I'm aware, but she was so tired when she got here."
"Yeah, I shouldn't have made her drive, but I wasn't in great shape either."
"No, you weren't," he laughed. "Shouldn't you wake up Carmilla so she can eat?"
"I'm going to let her sleep, she hasn't gotten much recently. We woke up early this morning."
"How early?"
"About nine this morning, and the day before she got up at three in the morning," Laura said.
"Why is she getting up so early?"
"That's just Carmilla," Laura said, "Her sleep schedule has always been off."
"Did you two do anything interesting today besides taking all my sheets and pillows?" He asked.
"Nope, we ran into Juliette at IHop today."
"How'd that go?"
"Fine, it's just, she acted like nothing ever happened."
"Laura, have you told Carmilla anything?"
"No, it's the past."
"Ok, but I would tell her before Saturday," Mark advised his daughter.
"I'll take it into consideration."
So I started this the day before my semester started. Unlike last time, I didn't have everything written out. I'm going to post when I can. I've started on chapter three, but I don't know how long it will take.
I hope you enjoyed and have a nice day anddddd farewell.
