Prompt: (From Sophia Chase) It's the 3rd of July and I'm making guacamole for Independence Day celebrations but some arrogant English guy has decided to try and take the very last avocado.
Well Cristy, I hope I do your prompt justice. Enjoy!
There were no words for how pissed off I was. I had just gotten back from my hour drive back from the grocery store the next town over.
Tomorrow was my big fourth of July party and the store in town had only had one avocado left. I was just about to grab it when some guy snatched it from right under my nose. I had turned to grab one of the clear bags to house the avocado on our journey through the rest of the store and when I turned back that last avocado was gone. I quickly looked around me and right behind me stood the most handsome man I had seen in a LONG time⦠I'm talking at least six months here. I was so distracted by his looks that I didn't even see that he was my avocado culprit.
"See something you like love?" asked the handsome stranger.
'Talk about arrogant' I thought to myself.
"Actually sir yes I do. I need that avocado you have placed in your cart" I replied.
"No can do love. I'm attending this party tomorrow and my brother has instructed me to bring my homemade guacamole"
Ok I was definitely already fed up with this guys nicknames for me. "My name is Caroline and I really need that avocado. I'm having a huge party for my friends and family tomorrow and it will not be the same if I don't make MY homemade guacamole" I tried to explain hoping this stranger would take pity on me and just give me the avocado.
'RING!'
"Hello?" I questioned as I answered my phone, not bothering to look at who was calling.
The handsome stranger, who's name I still did not know, took this as his opportunity to sneak off with that last beloved fruit I was in such desperate need for.
"Rebekah, I really can't talk now. Some jerk just took the last avocado in the store and now I need to figure out how i'm going to make my guacamole!" I hung up on my best friend quickly and stormed out of the store.
I had traveled to the next town over in hopes that they would have more but I had no such luck. I had given up and my party was going to be a disaster because my guests wouldn't get to snack on my world famous (Ok maybe I'm exaggerating there a little) guacamole! What was I going to do?!
"Hey Bek" i spoke into my phone again.
"Oh, do you have time to talk to me now? Did you catch the jerk that stole your avocado?" Rebekah replied.
"Sadly no, I didn't catch him and I even searched the next town over and they were out as well!"
"You're kidding?!"
"Nope! So no guacamole tomorrow" I frowned as my friend tried to console me through the phone.
"You're still okay if my brother comes tomorrow right?"
"Of course Beks! The more the merrier! I'm excited to finally meet some of your family! We've been friends for five years and I haven't met a single soul of the Mikaelson family apart from you."
"I know. I'm terrible keeping you away from my family" Rebekah giggled through the speaker.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow Bek." I hung up again.
What was I going to do without my guac?
INDEPENDENCE DAY
"Care?!" Rebekah called through the house. "Caroline?! Come greet your guest!"
Rebekah was always one for dramatics. "I'm coming Bekah!" I yelled down my staircase.
When I reached the bottom of the staircase I was met with the same handsome stranger from the grocery store the day before.
"Caroline, this is my brother Niklaus, he brought his homemade guacamole to share today."
"Well hello again love, please call me Klaus" he extended his hand to shake mine.
"Wait you two know each other?" Rebekah questioned.
"He's my avocado stealer. He's the reason I couldn't make MY guac today!"
Talk about a small world. Her best friend's brother was the handsome stranger that had caught her gawking at him just the day before.
"Well, hopefully mine will do yours justice" Klaus said as he released the bowl of guacamole into my hands. "I'm glad too see you again Caroline. I was upset to have cut our conversation short yesterday. I actually wanted to ask if you'd let me make it up to you about that avocado."
"What did you have in mind" I smiled knowing just where this was going. I'd let him steal another avocado any day.
"How about we start with dinner" Klaus replied. He winked as he left me standing alone in my kitchen. I couldn't wait.
