The kiss ignited a series of mini explosions throughout their bodies, the feeling was electric. Neither had ever had a kiss that felt just as good as this one. Both had waited so long for the kiss and now it was happening they both couldn't be happier.
Carmilla was the first to pull away unable to control the smile that instantly spread across her face, Laura had the same reaction. "Wow" Carmilla whispers resting her forehead against Laura's.
Laura grinned "Wow indeed." Laura couldn't believe how the past few days had panned out, here she was with her girlfriend having their first kiss together on an absolutely amazing date; things couldn't get any better.
"So part one of this date, has gotten off to a great start" Carmilla grinned, "how about we have some lunch and then go explore for a bit?"
Laura placed a quick kiss on Carmilla's lips, "That sounds perfect!"
Carmilla pulled away from Laura, she grabbed the basket and pulls out a blanket. Carmilla started to talk as she laid out the blanket "Okay so I didn't really know what to include in this mini picnic so I've just brought a range of things," She looked at Laura and smirked "and of course I brought cookies!"
Laura's smile got impossibly larger, this girl is seriously perfect. Carmilla pulled Laura from her thoughts when she interlaced her hand with Laura's and slowly pulled her over on to the blanket to sit down next to her.
Carmilla started unpacking the array of food she had packed, she really didn't have any idea on what to pack so she ended up bringing a lot.
"When you said a range of things I didn't expect this much food" Laura giggled "At least if we don't eat it we can fill up our bare cupboards."
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Carmilla says smirking. "Anyway tuck in!"
They both eat the food together telling each other random stories from their week, it was nice, it felt normal and Carmilla really craved normal after all the weird things that had been going on in her life recently.
After they had both finished eating, they still had loads of food left; at least the cupboards would be filled with snacks again. Laura suggested they explore the area.
They both got up and walked off hand in hand. They left the picnic stuff where it was as Carmilla was sure no one would be coming any time soon. They walked around the little beach area, looking around in some rock pools and little caves, although they didn't venture in too far into them as it had a very unsettling feeling for them both.
They ended up standing at the shore line, "fancy just paddling our feet in the water?"
Laura nodded in agreement and they both took their shoes and socks off and roll up their jeans.
They both held hands as they walked in, as soon as the water hit Laura's feet she let out a shriek "That is way too cold!"
Carmilla let out a laugh "Come on cutie you'll get used to it, just hold my hand and you'll be fine." Laura just shook her head.
"Right fine but you only have yourself to blame for this." Carmilla says letting go of Laura's hand and in a flash has Laura picked up bridal style.
"Put me down!" Laura exclaims giggling and kicking her legs around.
Carmilla loved the sound of Laura giggling "No, you asked for this." Carmilla keeps walking until the water is just below her knee.
"Okay, okay I definitely do not want to be put down now!" Laura says still giggling.
"Well that means you are most definitely being put down then." Carmilla pokes out her tongue at Laura and lowers her down in the water, until she is fully down.
Another shriek from Laura as she gets lowered into the water, "Oh Carmilla Karnstein you are so going to pay for this!"
"Oh am I?" A smirk appears on Carmilla face.
"Yes you are Karnstein, just you wait!" Laura wraps her arms around Carmilla's neck "but before I do…" Laura leans up to Carmilla to kiss her, which Carmilla returns.
Suddenly Laura pulls away and Carmilla feels a big splash of water hit her from Laura, "Oh no you didn't!" Carmilla says shocked.
Laura just grins and then runs to shore as fast as she can to get away from Carmilla possibly splashing her back.
By the time Carmilla gets out of her state of shock Laura is at the shore in a fit of giggle, Carmilla just shakes her head and laughs making her way over to Laura "I can't believe you just did that!"
"Pay back, cutie." Laura tries to imitate Carmilla but just ends up in another fit of giggles.
A big grin goes across Carmilla's face, this girl is absolutely adorable and her girlfriend. Girlfriend, she likes that a lot
Carmilla drove them back to the flat, both with wide smiles; they couldn't be happier.
Both sat in a comfortable silence for the journey home, with the radio quietly playing in the background.
Laura placed her hand on Carmilla's knee which made Carmilla glance over to her girlfriend. "Thank you for today, I've really enjoyed every second of it." Laura said with a beaming smile.
A smirk formed on Carmilla's lips, "Cupcake, the night is still young, you've got more to come yet."
They arrived back at the apartment, getting out of the car they walked back hand in hand back inside.
"Right," Carmilla started as they walked into the apartment, "you have 1 hour before the second part of our date starts." She smiles "which means 1 hour to get ready, is that okay cutie?"
Laura nods with a smile, "I guess I will see you in an hour then" Laura places a kiss on Carmilla's cheek before skipping into her room.
Carmilla was left with a big grin on her face, oh how she adored her beautiful dorky girlfriend.
1 hour past in a flash, Laura was panicking about what to wear. She resorted to wearing a simple summer's dress that hugged her in all of the right places.
She step out of her room to find Carmilla leant against the wall next to Laura's door with a smirk.
Laura looks amazing Carmilla thought to herself. "Wow." Carmilla says.
A blush forms at Laura's cheeks "Wow to you too." Carmilla had on her signature leather pants and a simple shirt on, but damn didn't it look good on.
"Shall we cutie?" Carmilla holds out her hand for Laura to take, which she does happily.
They walk out if the apartment hand in hand and make their way to the stairs. Laura goes to walk down but Carmilla pulls her in the other direction. "We're going up here."
Laura looks at Carmilla confused at first but just goes with it and follows.
Once they reach the top of the stairs Carmilla stops right in front of the door. Suddenly she doesn't seem quite so sure that her plan is a good idea.
Still facing the door and away from Laura Carmilla takes a deep breath in, that's when she feels Laura let go of her hand.
"What's wrong?" Laura whispers as she steps up on the same step as Carmilla and turns her around to face her.
Carmilla stays facing down, unsure of whether Laura would like what she'd done.
That's when Laura lifted Carmilla's head up to make Carmilla's eyes meet with her own.
"Carm, talk to me." Carmilla stayed silent for a moment with her mind in overdrive. Laura moved her hands on Carmilla's shoulders.
"It's...it's just what if you hate all of this? I mean I didn't check that any of this was okay with you and..." Laura smiled at Carmilla's babbling, it was usually her being the one this nervous and over talkative.
In that moment she had so much adoration for the girl that stood in front of her, she couldn't help but close the gap between them and kiss Carmilla; silencing the babbling in the process.
At first Carmilla was slightly shocked but returned the kiss, in that moment Carmilla forgot all of her worries; the way Laura kissed her made her feel like everything would always be okay, that nothing else mattered but them and she truly believed it.
Laura was the first to pull away but rested her fore head against Carmilla's, her response…Carmilla let out a ragged breath and closed her eyes; she just had to put any doubt she had to the back of her mind and just remember that Laura was here for her. Not anything else.
One last deep breathe in and Carmilla was met with Laura's hopefully honey brown eyes. "Okay" she whispers.
Carmilla clasps her hand around the door handle and takes a step back from Laura, so Laura can go out first.
As the door opens Laura is met with darkness but a small glow of light from candles not too far away and the shimmering stars up above, it truly was a magnificent sight.
She took one step forward out on top of the building roof to get a better look at what was in front of her.
Right in front of her was a small table for two with a candle burning away in the centre.
There were two plates sat on the table filled with some delicious looking food (Laura couldn't tell what it was but it looked amazing).
Besides the plates stood a bottle of very expensive looking wine. Laura couldn't believe what seems was seeing, all of this in front of her was all for her and no one had ever done anything like it.
Laura was truly touched by what she saw in front of her, a big smile spread across Laura's face (much to Carmilla's relief) and a teat slid down her cheeks.
"Are you okay Laura?" Carmilla asks quietly as she wrapped her arms around Laura's waist from behind.
Laura nodded "It's just...This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me and I just can't quite believe it," Laura chuckles and wipes another tear away.
"You deserve nothing less cupcake" Carmilla kisses Laura's cheek and makes her way to stand in front of her, "Shall we?" Carmilla says offering her hand for Laura to take.
Carmilla led Laura to her seat and took it out for her and then made her way over to her seat.
"I can't believe you've done all of this." Laura said still in awe.
"Well you're worth it, cutie." Carmilla says with a smirk, "why don't we eat up before this all gets cold?"
Laura nods in agreement and then they both get stuck into their food.
They both eat in a comfortable silence together just enjoying each other's company.
Laura finishes first and sighs contently "that was absolutely amazing! How have you done all of this?"
Carmilla finishes shortly after, "well I know people." The smirk still firmly on her face, "most of this I've done myself but I've had some assistance from a few friends, anything for a beautiful girl like you," Carmilla says with a wink.
"Well this is all absolutely beautiful, the meal, the great wine being under the beautiful stars and being with an absolutely gorgeous girl," a small blush forms on Carmilla's cheeks "It's all so much, I can't believe you've done all of this for me."
"Of course I've done this all for you," Carmilla reaches out her hand for Laura's "you have turned my life upside down in a matter of a few weeks," Carmilla squeezes Laura's hand "and I'm totally not good with this feelings thing but you've made me a lot happier."
"Well I'm glad my broody girlfriend is getting happy because even after all of the mess and untidiness you make me happy too." Laura kisses the back of Carmilla's hand.
"So I've got one last thing planned, I brought up a blanket and pillows for us both, how about we do some star gazing together?"
A big grin goes across Laura's mouth "That sounds perfect."
Carmilla gets up and gets out the pillows and blanket and sets the out on the floor, Laura sits down and hold out her hand for Carmilla; once Carmilla takes it Laura pulls her down to sit with her.
Carmilla lays down first and opens her arms for Laura to snuggle in, as soon as she does Carmilla wraps her arms around Laura bringing her as close as she can.
It was moments like this that she enjoyed with Laura, moments where it'd just the two of them. No worries about the troubles of life that are ahead, it's just them wrapped up in each other living in the moment.
Carmilla smiled contently as she placed a kiss on the top of Laura's head, this causes Laura to look up at Carmilla and smile.
"What was that for?" Laura asks inquisitively
"Just being you cupcake" Laura places a kiss on Carmilla's lips and whispers a thank you against them.
They stay like that, face to face, just gazing into each other's eyes for quite some time until Carmilla's turns to face up to the starts; Laura soon follows suit.
They lay there together wrapped up in each other's arms cuddling for hours, Carmilla talking about the stars telling Laura everything she knew and Laura listening in awe and completely mesmerised by what her girlfriend was telling her.
They both had a perfect day with each other and couldn't be happier.
They both secretly hoped every day could be like this but they both knew deep down something was heading for them.
