Well, Shit.
Danny's POV
I wake suddenly from the sound of my alarm clock, god that was a nice dream. It seems I can only get Laura when I'm asleep, it used to be enough but I've been hung up on Laura since the day we moved in. I've wanted her for so long and thanks to that freaking asshole Carmilla, I won't be getting any chance to see if we could work. I invited her into my home to be polite, I mean she's a total bitch but likeable in her own way. Maybe I can call Kirche and we can go to the gym later to work off some steam. I swear what the hell happened last night? I've been trying to drop the hint to Laura for nearly a year and then this gorgeous brunette walks in and sweeps her off her feet without even trying, who is that freaking smooth. WHAT THE HELL! Ya, ok blowing off some steam might be a good idea, at this rate I might punch Carmilla the next time I see her.
I pull out my phone from my bed side table intending to text Kirche but find he's already texted me.
Kirche: hey you doin anything today?
ohh thank god, I really need to talk to a friend that I don't want to sleep with.I hit the reply button
Danny: yes OMG need to work out you game?
He replies in under a minute
Kirche: ya for sure, pick you up at 12?
I smile at my phone, it's good to have a fellow fitness freak friend; Laura doesn't understand at all, she's so unhealthy always eating those damn cookies. I reply to him telling him 12 is fine and head to my closet to get dressed and ready my gym bag. I have nearly 2 hours to get ready but I like being ready early.
Almost 45 minutes later I hear Laura get up, I can tell because I hear a stumble and swear. I really don't want to see her, I'm sure she doesn't know how I feel about her but it's still mortifying. I head to the living room hoping she'll stay in her room so I don't have to pretend, I'm angry enough as it is, and seeing her would make it worse.
To my luck Kirche was early coming at 11:30 and I was able to get out before Laura stumbled down the stairs to get breakfast. As I ducked down into his short red mustang we exchange hellos and start heading to the gym.
A couple hours later I return home feeling much better. Kirche much to my luck is the best guy ever, we had our work out then we went to get a bite to eat at some Chinese restaurant and he immediately asked what was bothering me. He is honestly the best person I know, I mean he comes across as stupid, and really full of himself but he's a very caring person when you get to know him. And thanks to him I feel a thousand times better, I'm totally not ok with Carmilla the emotional leech and Laura but at least now I won't be putting a hole in my nice wall.
About 5 minutes after I enter my house Laura comes barging into my room with a frantic look on her face, just breath I think to myself.
"Danny, I need you." she says, I immediately stop what I'm doing and turn to her, trying not to get my hopes up
"What?" I reply, making eye contact, as I remember to try to breath.
"I don't know what I should wear on my date" she replies and in one sentence all my hope fizzes out and dies. Laura continues to talk going on to further remind me of my failure in love. "Not to mention she's going to be here to pick me up in a half an hour and I look like blah and I'm super nervous and please help me I need you."
I look down at the ground unable to make eye contact. "yeah sure I can help you" damn I really need to get over this crush and stop getting my hopes up, SHE DOESNT WANT YOU DANNY, why can't I get that through my head.
Laura and I head down the hall to her room, I'd spent enough time in here over the past year that it felt like my own room. Laura had it decorated with an assortment of very geeky things including a Veronica Mars poster, several doctor who posters, her mug of course and her yellow pillow that stood out in contrast to her plain bed coverings, which were now covered with several layers of Laura's clothing.
I sat on Laura's computer chair and gave my opinion on the outfits Laura couldn't choose between. She ended up choosing a magenta dress with a cute design. It was equally cute equally sexy and made her look absolutely beautiful. Carmilla is luckiest woman in the world, I would kill to be her, and she chose that exact moment to show up and knock on our front door.
