Gossip Column (Carmilla Fanfic)

Chapter 20

"Creampuff?" Carmilla sleepy called from the bedroom.

"One minute Carm." Laura shouted back, finishing arranging the food tray.

She had decided that morning that there was no better way to put their misunderstanding definitely behind than doing what she had planned to do that fateful morning. So she got up early and once again left to buy them breakfast. This time the singer was still asleep when she got back and she had time to arrange everything.

Laura picked up the tray containing a coffee for Carmilla, a hot chocolate for her, pancakes, eggs and a fruit salad, and walked back to the bedroom. She had, once again, bought a few red roses that she put in a small glass bud vase and used to decorate the tray. When she entered the bedroom, Carmilla was sprawled in the bed with her eyes closed. She put the tray in Carmilla's dressing table and crawled in bed beside Carmilla, kissing her neck and going up until she reached her mouth.

"Hummm, this is my favorite way to wake up." Carmilla said, rolling Laura so that she was on top of her.

"Is that so?" she asked, giggling.

"Yep." Carmilla said, leaning down to kiss Laura again.

"Carm, the food." Laura said separating her lips from the other girl's.

"What do I care about food when I have a beautiful girl in my bed?"

"Well," Laura said, pushing Carmilla into the bed, changing their positions, "I care about the food because, one: I'm starving, two: I hate to waste food, three: I wanted to do something romantic for you, and bringing you breakfast in bed counts as romantic."

"I'm only third on the list?" the singer asked, pouting in a very Laura-like manner. That made the tiny girl laugh and kiss the pout away from her lips.

"You're first on my list, but I can't very well do anything about that if I'm hungry or if you pass out from lack of nourishment, sooooo" she said, grinning and getting up to get their food, "we eat breakfast first."

"Fine, let's eat first then." Carmilla said, sitting with her back against the headboard while Laura brought the tray over and steadied it in the bed. The singer smiled when she noticed the roses. She picked one up and smelled it before turning to the other girl and putting the rose behind her ear.

"Thank you, Laura. I've never had anyone bring me breakfast in bed before." she said, giving a quick peck on the other girl's lips.

"Seriously? What is the problem with the girls you've dated before? I can't imagine anyone getting the chance to be with you and not wanting to show you how special you are." Laura said, her nose scrunched up in the way that Carmilla adored.

"I guess I just never had the right girl before." Carmilla said, her tone a mixture of playfulness and seriousness.

The two girls started devouring their breakfast, Carmilla realizing she was very hungry too. They ate in a comfortable silence, the kind that only people who are truly connected to each can achieve. When they finished, Carmilla quickly jumped from the bed, getting the tray and setting it back on her dressing table.

"Now, it's time for dessert." she smirked, jumping back in the bed, making Laura squeal when she almost fell off the bed.

"Carm, be careful." she said laughing.

"Jeez, not my fault you're so tiny and so light, Creampuff." she answered, pulling Laura closer to her.

"I'm not that tiny." she huffed.

"Yes, you are. You are my tiny gay." the singer said, stopping Laura's next protest with a deep kiss.
