I relaxed in the garden, lying back in the sun lounger. The large tree on my right shielding me from most of the sun, but it was still so warm. I closed my eyes, pushing my sunglasses onto the top of my head while I considered sleeping for a while. Suddenly my sunglasses were pulled off. I opened my eyes, squinting at Klaus who stood beside me, inspecting my glasses with mild interest."Klaus?"
"Hello Lucia" he looked away from my sunglasses a moment to flash me a smile.
"Hi. What do you want?" I asked, a smile playing on my lips as I watched him.
"Just your wonderful company, Love" I rolled my eyes, "Sit up a minute Luce"
"Why?"
He rolled his eyes dramatically. But in a few seconds I'd been pulled forward then was lying back against Klaus's chest as I sat between his legs, his knees bent on either side of my hips. "That's why"
I smiled, shaking my head, "You could have just said that"
"Or not" he wound his arms around my waist, holding me close to him. He rested his chin on top of my head.
"What do you really want?" I asked softly as I relaxed against him.
He was silent for some time before he eventually said, "I was thinking of a holiday, Love; England"
"That sounds nice"
"Good, I've booked the tickets"
I laughed quietly, "Of course you have." Klaus had always been impulsive, doing things like that were completely normal. "Where are we going? London?"
"Naturally. A weekend in Cardiff as well, of course, "
"Okay, we can go to that little cafe I like"
"Every day we're there if you want" he smiled, carefully twisting my hair round his finger over and over again.
"Hmm, I think Rebecca would have something to say about that, it's not exactly her style" a smile came to my lips as I remembered her moaning about the quaint little place. I had loved it.
"No, I don't think that will be a problem"
Frowning, I twisted to look at him, "What?"
"Well, she can't complain if she's not there" a sneaky smile grew on his face.
"What have you done? You've not staked her again, Klaus, I-"
"No, no, calm down - I've staked no-one. There are only two tickets, Lucia, one for me, and one for you"
I blinked, "Two tickets...?"
"Two tickets" he nodded. We didn't go anywhere just the two of us, none of us did. Even the suggestion of going away, only Klaus and I, was exciting - not that I disliked Elijah, Finn, Kol or Rebecca's company, but actually getting alone time with the family around was near impossible.
I kissed him softly, still smiling, "That's brilliant"
"I thought you'd like it." He brushed my hair back behind my ear, his hand resting on my waist. "We leave on Friday"
