Single-girl anxiety causes Elena Gilbert to hire a male escort, Klaus Mikaelson, to pose as her boyfriend at her best friend's wedding. Her plan, trying to deceive her ex-fiancé, Damon Salvatore who dumped her a couple of years prior, proves to be her undoing. AU/AH
It was a day like no other for Elena Gilbert; she arrived home from her work at the local café down the street from her home in London at the usual time of five thirty. She went to her mail box to check if she had any mail and indeed she did; an elegant envelope and a couple of normal letters.
She unlocked her front door and kicked off her black ballet flats before heading to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. Whilst the kettle was boiling, she took the opportunity to read the letters leaving the elegant looking one until last; a couple of bills and in the elegant envelope, a wedding invitation that read;
You are cordially invited to celebrate the wedding of
Stefan Salvatore
and
Caroline Forbes
On Monday Afternoon
April the 6th
at 4 o'clock
at the Salvatore Mansion
A dinner reception will follow the ceremony at Mystic Falls Hotel
R.S.V.P March the 3rd
She sat there speechless until her kettle finished boiling. She'd have to face her family after two years without seeing them and worst of all; she'd have to see Damon. Elena and Damon had dated for five years before he proposed to her and the day of the wedding he dumped her. She immediately fled that night to London and hasn't looked back since.
She made her cup of tea and sat down on her couch, thinking of the best solution for this 'problem.' She didn't want to turn up to the wedding alone but she didn't have anyone to go with. She sat there pondering her options until she remembered the business card her friend Rose gave her for an escort company for as Rose put it 'for emergencies.'
She shuffled through her purse searching for the card but no luck. She checked all her other purses until she found it in her cheap knock off Prada bag. The card read 'Marvellous Male Escorts.'
-THE NEXT DAY-
She had rung the escort company last night and she found her solution to her problem; his name was Niklaus Mikaelson and he would contact her sometime today for details of the arrangement.
She also rang Caroline Forbes who had been overly ecstatic over the fact that Elena was coming to her wedding and asked her to be her maid of honour which Elena gladly accepted. Caroline was also intrigued in finding that Elena was going to be bringing a date to the wedding. She wouldn't indulge any information about her date which Caroline huffed about. "Typical Caroline" Elena thought.
She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of her iPhone 5. She answered it, "Hello"
"Can I speak to Elena Gilbert?" a man in a sexy British accent asked
"Speaking"
"This is Niklaus Mikaelson and I was told to call you to discuss the details of our arrangement"
"This is my first time using an escort service so I am not sure what type of details we need to discuss"
"Okay, first where and when?"
"Well, the wedding is on the 6th of April and because I am the maid of honour I have to leave on the 3rd. Does this suit you?"
"Yes, these dates suit perfectly. Now, where is this event taking place?"
"In Mystic Falls"
"I've never heard of Mystic Falls. May I ask where it is?"
"It is in Virginia in the US"
"Okay, so will I be paying for the plane ticket or will you?" he asked her. She was relieved at how calm he was acting about the situation because if it was her in his situation she'd probably be freaking out.
"I've got it covered"
"That's great. Can I ask you a few details regarding the wedding?"
"Yeah"
"Whose wedding is it?"
"My best friend Caroline's to a man named Stefan"
"That sounds nice. Can I ask you why you didn't want to go alone?"
"The best man is my ex-fiancé" she explained
"Oh. Sounds complicated"
"Oh, I haven't even started yet"
"Well, you can tell me all about it when I see you"
"And when will that be?"
"I'll come and get my plane ticket the day before we leave"
"Okay. Sounds good"
"Okay see you then, Elena"
"You too, Niklaus"
She hung up the phone and looked at the clock; she still had an hour and a half before she had to get to work so she decided she might do some clothes shopping for the wedding. She needed to recreate her wardrobe so she could show Damon what he's missing.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Rose questioned her, once she arrived at work
"I finally found a use for your escort card"
"What do you mean?"
"I got an invitation for Stefan Salvatore's wedding yesterday"
"Salvatore? As in Damon?"
"Stefan is his younger brother"
"So where does the escort card fit in?"
"I didn't want to show up alone to the wedding-"
"Because you wanted to show Damon what he's missing" Rose finished for her
"Exactly"
"So what's his name?"
"Niklaus?"
"As in Niklaus Mikaelson?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I asked him to be my date for a wedding once but he said he doesn't do weddings. You must be one special girl"
"Yeah, I guess"
"I don't pay you girls to stand around. The customers are getting impatient. GO, GO, GO!" Mr Martin shouted when he spotted the two girls talking. Both girls immediately got back to work before Mr Martin could shout again.
What do you guys think? Should I Continue?
