Gratitude

Sweet Laura

Carnilla's POV

Sometimes life throw's unexpected surprise's at you, and I can honestly say this time, I don't mind it so much. My Laura has finally been returned to me, I've thought about this moment for so long it seems almost like a dream, I don't deserve to have Laura back in my life, I don't deserve to be as happy as she makes me. She was always so spunky and bright and despite my best efforts she broke through the walls I put up to proctect myself from others, and now I have her back again, and I never want to let her go.

We both sit on her couch in the living room with Danny and Will eyeing us suspiciously from the loveseat and recliner across from us. Laura's dressed in a partially see through tank top and really short shorts. I definitely don't mind seeing this much of my old friend, this tiny little human is as good looking as it gets, and I am totally ok with the fact that she is practically sitting on my lap wearing almost nothing, her perfect ass seated on the couch but her velvety legs thrown into my lap, my hands placed ontop, as I stare into her big brown eyes. God, I never realized how much I missed her unitl this moment, never realized the hole she she left. And for the first time since that day I feel whole. Like a part of me has been missing and is now returned.

Will's voice rips my thoughts and eyes from Laura "So you guys seem to know each other pretty well?" he says very tentatively knowing I don't like sharing personal details.

I scowl at the idoit not saying anything. Laura however decides to share "Well my parents died and I ended up in the foster system. Carmilla here was the daughter of one the foster families I stayed with." Laura turns to look back at me with a wide bright smile on her face, god shes so beautiful. "She even stood up to her god awful mother for me, and I couldn't be more grateful."

Laura's smile fades slightly when she feels me stiffen at the mention of my mother, and her face turns into a mixture of gratitude and love. It's a look I've always dreamed but don't deserve. I've done nothing to deserve my sweet Laura, or the connection we have, I've always known I was bad yet Laura has never believed it.

Will perks up at Laura's mention of the past. "Carmilla!" he says shocked "this is her?" he asks looking back and forth between us. "This is the girl that put you in the foster system?". I cringe ever so slightly, giving Will the dirtiest look I can. Why oh why must he bring up the past? This whole reunion was going so well. Will was always curious about my past, and was constantly fishing for details which I am stingy with at the best of times, but over the years he's gotten some details out while I was drunk or if he met someone more willing to share.

Before Laura can start to feel guilty about what Will just said I jump in, first looking at Will with a look on my face telling him that he'll be in some pretty deep shit later and say "Yes William, this is the girl that I stopped my mother from beating but no" this time I turn to look at Laura softening my expression "she did not cause me to be put in the foster system. My mother and I were heading there way before Laura came, and I knew what would happen and I did it anyway and if I had the chance I would do it again in a heart beat".

Both Laura and I relax still touching each other, Laura still in her spot on my lap. Will looks somewhat guilty which is good, wouldn't want the little twerp to get too comfortable around me just because I'm preoccupied with the beautiful girl in my lap. Clifford has even been pretty quiet too, and even though I just met her I know the girl likes to talk. When I glance over at her, she's starring at us, I notice what I think is jealousy on her face. Well sorry big red but Laura and I have a past and I am not willing to lose her again.

Laura's voice draws my attention back to her "Oh Carmilla I had no idea" she says softly "I'm so sorry and still so grateful, I don't think I'll never not be grateful, and it's just so nice to see you again, and" boy she's quite the adorable ranter isn't she "the last thing I expected was to see you, infact I've never been so happy in my life and...have dinner with me" Oh my, what?!

Her eyes widen in suprise and she turns pink as she realizes we're actually not the only people in the room, Danny must really be hating me by now, and Will is probably thrilled. I don't bother looking a them, not really caring what either of them are thinking, to me only Laura matters.

I smirk at a slightly flustered Laura, something she never was as kids was spontaneous, that was always me. I think I like this more confident Laura, it's really sexy. "Creampuff are you asking me on a date?" I ask with as much seduction as I can muster.

I fully expect Laura to back down and make it a 'catching up' diner but to my suprise she sits up straight, looks me in the eye and with a strong confident voice says "Yes Carmilla Karnstein. I am asking you on a date. How's tomorrow at 8 sound?" Yes, I definitely like confident Laura and so I do the only thing I can think of doing, and accept. Tomorrow at 8 I will be on my first date with Laura Hollis, my sweet creampuff.
