"Should we wake them?"
LaF and Perry looked down onto the two sleeping forms that held each other tightly under the oak tree. It was nearing 2 pm as the two gingers made their way from lunch when they spoted a familiar face peacfully asleep with her head leaned onto a girls shoulder and her hand resting on the girls thigh. The girl had her head leaned onto Lauras head and her arm wraped securly over Lauras stomach. LaF and Perry had no clue who this girl was.
LaF grinned as Laura nossled herself closer into the girls neck and was tickled by her long dark hair, but didn´t seem to mind at all.
Perry and LaF shared a knowing look between each other before stimuosly clearing their throats and waiting for the girls to wake up from their sleep.
When neither of them seemed to hear them, Laf leaned down, extanding their hand and trying to pat Lauras shoulder as she felt a hand grab onto her wrist and held her still middair.
"Don`t you dare touch her."
LaF stood frozen in their spot as a sleepy, but threatening voice escaped the dark haired girls lips. Perry watched with wide eyes at the sceen in front of her, the girl holding LaFs wrist and looking at them with, what one could only describe as fear in her eyes.
"Carm? Whats going on?" Carmillas voice seemed to have finally woken up Laura, that had to blink away the sleepines from her eyes a few times, before taking in her suroundings and what ever it was that was happening around her. She looked from LaF that had a deer in the headlights look on their face, up to Perry that was moments away from a panic attack, and then looked over to Carmilla, the girl she spend the night with, and enjoyed every moment of it. Carmilla was still facing LaF, but her eyes drifted to the side, glancing at Laura that still seemed to be in her own little world, before snaping her attention back to the present moment.
"Carm these are my friends. LaFontain and Perry."
"Can I have my hand back now, please?" LaF pulled their hand back to their chest and took a steep back over to Perry that placed a reasuring hand on their shoulder.
Carmilla turned around, now completely facing Laura as the latter looked up at her friends with an apologetic smile.
"Guys, this is Carmilla, my...uhmm..." Roomate? Girlfriend? Crush? A girl I kissed last night?
"Roomate." Carmilla interupted Laura and stood up from her spot, sensing that Laura would start a long explanataion to the two gingers about what ever her and Laura were at the moment.
Laura stood up after and they all looked at each other in an awkward silence for a moment before Carmilla decided to finally speak up.
"So, I´m gonna go now. I have some stuff to do." She walked off and Laura was about to go right after her, saying she has to work on some homework as LaF and Perry both pulled her back, stoping her and looking at her curiously.
"What?" Lauras neck felt stiff and she would definitely need to take a hot shower the moment she steps into her dorm room. Well, maybe not right away. I have to talk to Carmilla first about what happened last night. We kissed. We actually kissed. And then we fell asleep. Under a tree. And I balied on Danny. Wow.I need to figure this out.
"Laura?" Perry looked at her worriedly, steping to her side as LaF looked behin them to a dissapearing figure of Carmilla.
"Yes?" Laura was still in her own little world of last night and she just wanted to run after Carmilla and kiss her and take a long nap with her. She could think about the rest of the world later. She was allowed to have a little moment of complete and totall bliss before facing Danny and her exams and what ever else the world will throw at her.
"Did you two sleep together?" LaF looked back at her with a grin on their face, and Perry lightly slaped their hand as Laura finally pay attention to her two best friends.
"Of course not. We just...the thing is...well, we kind of feel asleep out here."
Laura looked at the few people passing them by, enjoying the suny day.
"And why did you sleep here?" LaF always asked too many question, but Laura was used to it already. They have been best friend since forever, and she knew LaF only wanted Laura to be happy. She wanted the same for them. Thats why she was thirlled when LaF told her that Perry finally went out on a date with them. Poor LaF had a crush on Perry since the first day moved into the doorm. Didn`t take long for them to end up together.
"I don`t know. We just kind of ended up here. She invited me over to where she works, then we grabed something to eat...and...we talked."
"Just talked huh?" LaF gave her a questioning look, not really believeing Laura it was only talk between them.
"And I might have kissed her." Laura looked innocently onto the ground, hidding her eyes from Perry, because she was certain of the question she will ask in a moment.
"You kissed Carmilla? I thought you were dating Danny. Didn`t you two have a date last night?"
Laura sighed, guilt washing over her as she thought of Danny and of her canceling their date.
"Change of plans Perry, relax." LaF stoped their girlfriend from a long list of questions that would probably make Laura wish the ground would open underneath her.
LaF was already used of Perry being overprotecive about her familly, and she didn`t want Danny to get hurt. But what Perry didn`t know is that Danny wasn`t good for Laura. She didn`t know Danny the way most of the university did. At least the female members of the university. Danny was a female Casanova, and LaF really didn`t want Laura to get into the tangled web of lies and that was Dannys life. She knew Laura was the type of person that was able to protect herself, and if she would have know about Dannys many "lovers", she would have broken out of the silly crush of hers long ago.
"I just thougt the two of them look cute together." Perry shuruged and leaned against LaF, intertweining their fingers together.
"I like Danny, I really do. And I had a crush on her since day one. But Carmilla, she just...she shows up and now all I can think about is her. She`s sweet and mysterious and she makes me feel like..."
Laura got lost in her mind, seeking for a word that could possibly describe how Carmilla makes her feel when she is arround her. How in this short time that she spend with the girl she couldn`t stop thinking about her and wondering if she ever crosses her mind too. If Carmilla felt the way Laura did. If she felt...
"You should go after her." Perry saw the look in Lauras eyes as she scaned the dorm, looking for the window of her room. She knew she wanted to run right after Carmilla, because thats the same thing she would do. She knew what feeling Laura was talking about even without saying a word. She pushed her playfully forward as LaF and her turned to the other side.
Laura saw the look of understanding in both LaFs and Perrys eyes and she couldn`t have been happier about that. She gave her two frineds a quick hug before runing of into the dorm building.
"It`s cool of you for letting her go. I know you wanted her and Danny to click, but..."
"Carmilla seems to be protective. But she might also be better for her then Danny. I just thought that maybe with Laura in her life, Danny would stop messing up her own life."
LaF looked over to their girlfriend as they slowly walked away from the tree where they found Laura and Carmilla, heading to a mall in the city.
"Messing with her life?" LaF knew what kind of life Danny had, but they werent sure if Perry was talking about the same thing.
"You know what I am talking about LaFontain. I know about Dannys reputation. Don`t think I am that navie that I don`t realize it. But as much as I know that Laura could fix her, Laura deserves better. So if this Carmilla girl is right for her, so be it. She deserves to be happy."
LaF entertwined their fingers together as they crossed the road, pulling their girlfriend closer.
"You know, you are pretty surprising sometimes."
Perry leaned over kissing thir cheek and smiling.
"Thats why you love me."
