Chapter 11
Klaus's POV
Klaus was going to meet Rebekah today. In the afternoon, that is. He still had a lot of time. Meanwhile, Katherine was talking on the phone with Hayley. Turns out she's their new wedding planner. Kat had told him that their old wedding planner had bailed. Hayley had given him a list of things to get for the set and he was busy shopping. He was looking at flowers when he saw Jackson standing at the corner seeing flowers too. He walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. Jackson turned around and smiled.
"Hey man! How's it going?" Jackson said while he gave Klaus a pat on the back. "Good, good. And you?" "I'm great. Works going well, lots of work though," Jackson said. "Well at least you don't have to shop for 'teddy bears, heart shaped pillows that are all pink'" Klaus said, reading from the list. Jackson laughed and asked him, "Why are you shopping for those things exactly?" Klaus chuckled. "You're fiancée turned me into a fetch-boy," Jackson laughed and shook his head. "Here because of Hayley huh? Yeah me too. Trying to surprise her with lunch today. It's our anniversary," Ugh, lovey-dovey stuff. "That's awesome, I'll tell her to wear something fancy for tonight." "Yes! Please do! Thank you. And be discreet. Could you also drive her to Johnny Carlto's Restaurant? If it's okay?" "Will do, see you later then, bye." They shook hands and nodded. "Bye then. Thanks again!" Jackson shouted.
Klaus bought everything he needed and went to the set. They had started production and were building all the different sets. He parked the car and got Josh's help to get them to the required set. He took the flowers and pillows to Hayley who was standing near a table and writing something on a paper. He startled her when he ran towards her and sat on the table. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and handed her the red flowers. "Here you go." She smelled them and closed her eyes. "These are lovely. Where did you get them?" he shrugged. "Roadside gift shop." She chuckled.
He realized that he didn't hate her smile anymore. He used to. A lot. He used to know that whenever she smiled, she was planning something. This time it was genuine. And it had been for a while. "You know I used to hate that smile of yours," he said jokingly. He noticed that her expression changed to a curious and nervous one. "And now?" Before he could answer and also ask why she looked so nervous, Elijah came walking to them. He seemed angry and frustrated. "Niklaus! What are you doing?" Klaus looked stunned. "What do you mean?" "I mean, stop flirting with the poor girl and do some work!" Whoa, whoa, what?! He then looked to the flowers she was holding and understood where this was coming from. "Oh! Those? No, no that's for the set," he said and when he glanced at Hayley her face slightly dropped. He turned back to Elijah when he started talking. "Stop arguing and do your damn job!" he shouted. Klaus knew Elijah wasn't mad at him. Elijah started walking away and Klaus caught up with him and stooped him from walking any further.
"Hey, Elijah! What's going on with you?" Klaus asked and Elijah put his hand on his forehead and rubbed his temples. "I'm sorry, I just… I've had a bad day today, everything's being delayed because of God knows what and–"
"–and you're nervous about getting married," Klaus smirked. Elijah looked up and away, ashamed. "Yeah, Kat told me the wedding planner bailed and I've been freaking out ever since," Wait a minute… hadn't he heard? "Elijah didn't Kat tell you?" "Tell me what?" Klaus laughed. He couldn't believe Kat forgot to tell him. "Elijah! Hayley is you're new wedding planner!" Elijah was speechless for a second. "Hayley? As In Hayley Marshall?" "Well, yeah, do you know any other Hayleys? She offered to help and Kat was really happy about it. That's what Hayley told me," "Oh thank God for her!" Elijah sighed. Klaus took him over to Hayley.
"Hayley! Elijah didn't know that you were his wedding planner!" Hayley looked surprised and raised her eyebrows. "Really? Didn't Katherine tell you? I offered to help!" "I'm afraid she didn't!" "But wait, she told me that she was going to tell you before her and I went for lunch yesterday!" "Ohhh so that's why she was so happy! No actually she just told me that she was going out with a friend and that she'd call me," Klaus shrugged. "Maybe she wanted it to be a surprise." Elijah nodded. He hugged Hayley, thanked her and left to do his other work.
"Speaking of surprises."
Hayley's POV
"Speaking of surprises," Klaus said under his breath but Hayley heard him. "You my friend, are in for a treat tonight!" Hayley looked confused. Was he surprising something for her? She was getting her hopes up. "Why? What's tonight?" he shrugged. "Just wear something fancy," Hayley looked surprised and tried to contain her excitement. He was doing something special for her. "And where exactly am I going to find something fancy to wear?" Klaus laughed and put his hand over her shoulder and whispered, sending shivers down her spine.
"Don't tell anyone I told you this, but there's a wardrobe full of party clothes on the 3rd floor, near the left closet. Go get yourself something, trust me no one will notice anything's gone," he put something in her hand and she looked at it. It was a bunch of keys.
"You stole the keys?!" she shrieked. "Borrowed! Borrowed the keys." She laughed and looked at him. "Well go on then, it's almost time to leave work," he urged her to go. She went up to the third floor and looked for anyone there. She slowly opened the door and walked into the biggest room of dresses and suits she had ever seen. Now she knew why Klaus said no one would notice. She closed the door and searched for a good dress. She found a simple yet beautiful black dress that she put in her bag and left the room. She went to the restrooms to get dressed. Thankfully she had some make-up and lip gloss. She let her hair loose and checked herself out in the mirror. She smiled to herself and left to get her things and meet Klaus.
She saw him leaning on his car waiting. She walked up to him and he smiled. "Wow! You look nice!" Hayley blushed and said thank you. They got in the car and drove to somewhere Hayley didn't know. She was excited for this. He parked the car at a restaurant after driving for a while. On the way, he stopped to text someone. But then continued. Klaus got off and opened the door for her and she smiled widely. But when she turned around, she saw Jackson standing near his car in a black and white suit, holding a bouquet of white roses. Her face fell into confusion and she looked at Klaus who was smiling. "Judging by your face you didn't see this surprising coming did you?" she shook her head. NO she did NOT see this coming. Klaus looks to Jackson and gives him a thumbs up. Hayley looks between them in confusion.
"Jack… w-what are you doing here?" she asked and Jack raised his brows smiling. "Anniversary celebration! Wanted to surprise you!" Oh. My. God. Anniversary. She had completely forgotten but she tried to play cool. "Yeah so what does Klaus have to do with all this?" "I met him at the gift shop today while getting you these," he said handing her the flowers. "And I asked him if he could help me surprise you!" Hayley laughed nervously and turned to Klaus. "Listen have fun! I have to go meet Rebekah. Today's the day, after six years. I'll tell you all about it at work, okay?" she stared at him for a while before nodding. Klaus hugged both of them and drove off. Hayley felt so stupid. It was her fricking anniversary with her fiancé and she thought Klaus was going to take her out. She was afraid of what her feelings for Klaus were doing to her. "Honey, let's go in," she was interrupted from her thoughts when Jack spoke. He held out his arm. She smiled and took it and they started walking into the restaurant. She glanced back one more time before they went in.
Klaus's POV
After dropping of Hayley at the restaurant, he went to Rousseau's. In the car, he had gotten a text from her saying that she was on her way. He replied back with an 'I'll see you there.' He walked into Rousseau's and sat at a table in the back corner. He tapped his foot anxiously and waited. He was sipping on a drink of bourbon when he saw her. A blond girl wearing a blue jacket. Her hair was longer than when he'd seen her all those years ago. She looked more mature and was always the beautiful sister he had loved. Still loves. She looked around searching for him, when in a moment, her eyes met his. She stood there frozen before she walked slowly towards him. He gulped and stood up. She reached him and her eyes started to tear up.
"Hello Nik," she said with a broken voice. He also started tearing up and replied. "Hi Bekah," they stood there for a few seconds before she grabbed him and pulled him in for a big hug. He hugged her back immediately and she started to cry. "It's so great to see you again Nik, you have no idea how much I've missed you," she said. He pulled away a bit forcibly and asked her, "Then why the hell did you leave?!" "It's like I told you, Kol and I couldn't take it, with all that happened, it took us a while to get back on our feet. And by 'a while' I mean 3 years. It was a bad time for the both of us. We wanted nothing to do with the family," she said really fast. He cringed at her words. "Where is Kol by the way?" she smiled slightly. "He's parking the car, he'll be here in a minute." Klaus felt insane happiness seeing his sister and soon meeting his brother. But he didn't want to show it. He needed to know everything first. Just as he looked up Kol walked in. My God, Kol looked so much like himself. Dirty blond hair with Elijah's smirk. He'd even grown taller. He spotted them and walked to towards them keeping his eyes down. When he got to them Klaus hugged him and Kol hugged back. No words were needed for what they felt at that moment. He pulled back and said. "Now both of you. Sit your asses down and explain everything," he said sternly. They did as they were told and told Klaus about what they did for the past two years. Rebekah had found a job in New Orleans as a fashion designer and Kol as a Video Game creator. For the first three years Kol had been an intense alcoholic and Rebekah admitted to have done drugs too. Klaus was thoroughly disappointed in them but was happy that they had helped each other through it and were safe now. They had gone to college and were funded by the college itself for their tuition. Klaus was surprised by all the things he had learned.
"But Nik, you should know that we never forgot about any of you. We thought about calling but we didn't want any of you to find us," Kol said ashamed of himself and his past behaviour with drugs and alcohol. Rebekah too. She widened her eyes. "Nik you haven't told Elijah have you?" "Are you kidding me? Of course not! He would freak out. And you're not going to tell him or even meet him until I tell you. He's getting married and I don't want you too ruining it," they both looked very sad and Rebekah was still crying. "Do you two have a place to stay?" they shook their heads and Klaus cursed under his breath. "Fine you can stay with me but no making yourself present until the right time okay?" they nodded.
"One more thing, I have a friend, Hayley. She's the only one besides me who knows about you guys. It's fine you can trust her. You both can meet her someday, because I can't keep all the emotions flowing through me right now, to myself forever." They understood and nodded. "I'm so sorry, Nik" Rebekah said and Klaus hesitated but nodded. Didn't say anything, but nodded. "Come on. Let's get you two home."
