Neilās Bar, Indio CA ā 3 years ago
āWhen you said wager, I assumed it was going to be less one sided,ā she drawled, taking in her interesting surrounds. Klaus couldnāt help but grin at the raw sass he remembered so well and just how good she looked in mini denim shorts and a sly smile.Ā
āEveryone likes a bit of karaoke,ā he reasoned, gesturing to a nearby booth.
āYeah, especially a chart topping musician,ā she shot back.
āChart topping? Has someone been researching Klaus Mikaelson?āĀ
āNo, Mister Third Person,ā she replied bluntly, taking a seat and gesturing to the waiter for service. āYour sister mentioned it actually, think sheās quite the fan. Not surprising given sheās related and kind of has to like your stuff, or pretend to anywayā¦ā
āHey, hey,ā Freya objected from a neighbouring booth. āI heard that and itās only like fifty percent true.ā Klaus wasnāt surprised, his siblings had this way of pretending not to care in public, even Freya who had joined the family fold late but had picked up on their idiosyncrasies quickly. It was then Klaus knew they were definitely related.
When heād stumbled upon, not only his sister but the woman heād been dreaming about for four years at Coachella, he wasnāt quite sure how to approach it. In fact, his response had been erratic and somehow heād challenged her to a unknown bet in the space of three unexpected and stressful minutes.
Klaus loved a wager, in fact heād won many over the years against his bandmates but suddenly he felt a little self conscious. Caroline Forbes had that effect on him. To say heād been following her career closely over the past two years was an understatement. He all but stopped at posting photos because it was both stalkerish and Kol would never let him live it down.
āThis isnāt about my stuff,ā he implored, hoping that his family hadnāt done too much damage.Ā
āSo whatās the bet, Mikaelson?ā Katherine Pierce appeared from out of nowhere.Ā
āKat.ā Caroline replied.Ā āI know you get bored easily but weāve made more than a few friends tonight.ā
āIf youāre talking about the band Iāve already made some predictable judgements,ā she offered, taking a seat next to Klaus and startling him somewhat. āThose two are in love with your sisters,ā she gestured between Enzo and Lucien.Ā āAnd donāt get me started on Kol, he needs a leash and thatās only for starters.ā
āSheās good,ā he offered, shrugging his shoulders and sending Caroline a coy smile.Ā āDo you hire her out for parties?ā
āI probably should, god knows it would make us lots of money.ā
āI could probably analyse this particular situation unfolding before me but given my precarious position as Carolineās best friend Iāll pass,ā she chirped.Ā āSo, what exactly are the stakes?ā
āWe both perform aĀ confidentialĀ song of choice,ā Klaus suggested, passing her a scrap of paper.Ā āBest crowd reaction wins. Although given Iām a singer Iām more than happy to...ā
āDonāt you dare, Mikaelson,ā Caroline shot back.Ā āI donāt take pity.ā Klaus was fairly certain he liked her even more at that point.Ā
āNot gonna lie, youāve probably bet the most competitive person to a challenge,ā Katherine whistled.Ā āGood luck, I only hope the terms arenāt your first born.āĀ
āIām game,ā he murmured, trying to ignore just how adorable she looked gnawing on her pencil and trying to work out what to write.Ā āIāll take a date.ā
āHow extremely predictable,ā Caroline scoffed, taking a brief moment to gaze into his blue eyes.Ā
āI really need my hedges trimmed,ā she smirked, folding the piece of paper over mysteriously. Klaus couldnāt help but feel his erection begin to grow beneath the booth.Ā āAnd I really hate washing too.ā
āWashing,ā Klaus coughed, trying to reconcile her terms.Ā
āYes, you know domestic chores? Why? Are you afraid to lose?ā SheĀ sing-songed. Ā
āI donāt ever lose a bet, love,ā Klaus boasted, folding his song choice next to hers. She might of had the upper hand earlier, but he had every intention of Ā winning no matter the consequences....Ā
