Lost (Negovanman)

Impulse

'Why the fuck is this happening again. I mean I figured all of these feelings out already, I put them away, forgotten all about them, why now?!' But deep down she already knew. 'It's because you just had to fall asleep next to her, in her bed. Having her in your arms was the best feeling ever, waking up in hers was even better. It felt.. so safe and familiar. I don't think I want to give that up.'

Elise is sitting at the kitchen table, her eyes are focused on the script in her hands as she is going over her lines one more time.

Natasha carefully watches her as she goes to sit down in front of her, holding two mugs filled with coffee in her hands, placing one in front of Elise. Her eyes are practically glued to Elise who was still very much immersed in the script, making little gestures while mouthing the words written on the paper.
A little grin suddenly appears when she starts feeling a little nostalgic. She decides to play a little prank on her and slouched down a bit. "You about done there, cupcake?" she says with her signature Carmilla voice and the smirk to boot. It makes Elise look up at her, rapidly blinking in confusion. "Oh sorry, wrong script." and playfully sticks out her tongue.

Elise starts to chuckle and shakes her head as she slides the script over to Natasha. "Here, everything that's highlighted, those are my lines." She watches as Natasha picks up the script and skims through it. "You want to read it first?"

"Nah, I got the gist of it. Let's do this, you ready?"

"Yup, let's do this!"

Halfway through the first couple of pages Natasha looks up at Elise and just watches her delivery in amazement. 'Damn.. I forgot how good she is, she's amazing!'

"Did I mess up my line?" Elise says looking at her slightly puzzled as to why she stopped.

"What? Oh, no! No you did everything right! I just.. I forgot how fricking good you are." She looks down to the script for a couple of seconds in hesitation of what she wants to say. "..I've missed this you know, reading with you."

"Yeah, me too." Elise answers, making Natasha look back up at her. That sincere smile turn into a teasing one. "But this is different though. I mean, now we don't end up kissing at the end of certain scenes." she says with a smirk.

Natasha snorts at the comment. "Like we needed practice with that." she says as she quickly lifts her eyebrows a couple of times.
'Yeah, we really didn't have a problem with all the kissing. Now stopping, that's a different story.'

"No, countless takes of those particular scenes took care of that." she replies with a chuckle and looks down a little, almost shyly so.

'Not to mention the wardrobe room.. definitely not complaining about the wardrobe room.'  Natasha laughs at Elise's comment and takes the script back in her hands to search where they left off. "Right.. Where were we?"

"We were about to kiss."

Natasha's head quickly snaps up to Elise and then quickly back down to the script with a bewildered look. "Wh- Kiss? I.. didn't see a kiss in the script?"

"Relaaax, I'm just messing with you." Elise laughs loudly as she drops her head down on her arm on the table.

'Jeez, Natasha calm down.. regain your footing! You can still save it.'
"Okay, good! 'Cause I would've done it, you know. Wouldn't want you to go in there all unprepared now would I." she retorted with a smirk and one eyebrow lifted up in a cocky way, shutting Elise up with her smile frozen in place. "Two can play that game, cutie." she says fighting the urge to bite her bottom lip. 'Thank you, Carmilla!'
