CHAPTER 11: DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO THIS?
So it seemed the Nik wasn't lying one bit when he warned Caroline about his dear sister's nagging abilities especially when it comes to their wedding. It was three months later and they had the invitations sent out already, the date set and basically all of the details. The only thing they were lacking was a dress, and Bekah being her stubborn self told Caroline to make sure the dress she picked was perfect. They were doing a happily ever after theme, basically everything would be fairy tale head to toe. It was going to be the most grand event anyone had ever seen according to Bekah who was thrilled Caroline agreed to the theme. She was able to do so much and she knew that Nik and Caroline would be more than happy with their big day. The wedding was set to be three weeks away and Bekah was really starting to stress over the clothing detail. They had already agreed the men would wear tailored tuxes that still held the vintage fairy tale look, all of the men had already been measured and fitted and were all set. Caroline had requested Bonnie to be her maid of honor and to have Bekah and Kat as her bridesmaids which worked well because Nik wanted Elijah as his best man, Finn and Kol as his groomsmen. His mother was more than thrilled with the wedding and contributed a fairly large amount of money to fund it. There were more than three hundred people coming, a good majority of them famous, so they had to keep up their reputations as Mikalsons and throw an unforgettable occasion.
"Oh Caroline"Bekah said going through her soon to be sister in laws home looking for her or Nik "Caroline!"she yelled
"What god!"Caroline asked stepping from around the corner "Im sure the entire building now knows your here Bekah"
She smirked and continued "We are taking a little trip"
"What are you up to Bekah?"Nik asked coming into view a moment later and wrapping his arms around Caroline
"Nik, the wedding is three weeks away and Caroline doesn't have her dress"Bekah said frustration clear on her face "Bonnie, Kat and I already have our dresses, everyone is set but her. So i am taking it into my own hands and pulling her by the hair to Los Angeles to buy the most amazing gown we can find"
"L.A. ?"Caroline screeched "You have got to be kidding me Bekah, you realize i have a job right"
"Yes and after i called and talked to your boss they were happy to let you have the next two days off so we can go find your dress"Bekah said
Caroline huffed "Your worse than my mother"
"Stop pouting and go our flight leaves in an hour"Bekah said with a triumphant smile
You could hear Caroline cussing her sister in law out all the way to her room, once she was out of view Nik started in on his sister.
"Why do you need to go all the way across the country to find Caroline a wedding gown?"Nik asked obviously irritated that his sister was taking his fiance away from him
"Because Nik"Bekah said "Like you i want Caroline to have the best and you know damn well that i will find that for her. Nothing has suited her out here so why not? Stop being selfish you are marrying the girl, you have her forever. Besides its only two days and i know Kol is planning some kind of bachlor party for you, this is your chance to do it without getting death glares from Caroline"
"I do not want to go to some strip club with my obnoxious brother"Nik said sternly but quietly so Caroline didn't hear
"You don't have to go to a strip club Nik don't be ridiculous, but you know he wont stop nagging you until you go"Bekah said and in that moment she knew she was right
"Sometimes i wonder why i ever started assosiating with our family again"Nik said shaking his head
"Because of the beautiful blonde your lucky enough to marry"Caroline said coming back into the room with them "Alright all packed Beks"
"You seem to excited to be away from me my love"Nik said pulling Caroline into a hug
"I am excited to finally get my wedding dress Nik"Caroline corrected "As i am sure your excited for your bachelor party..."
Nik and Bekah both looked at her with a little surprise on her face, she smiled and held up her phone.
"I told you Kol texts me all day everyday, do you honestly think he would leave that out?"Caroline said with a knowing smirk "I don't mind Nik becuase when i get back Bonnie is throwing my bachelorette party"
"I cant wait"Bekah said with a naughty smirk
"So what you're in on both the parties?"Nik asked looking at his sister
"Of course Nik do you really think i would allow anything else"Bekah asked "Besides i know the best male strippers in the country"
"Bekah!"Nik growled angrily at his sister, he couldn't stand the thought of some greased up man with his hands all over his Caroline.
"Oh calm down Nik"Caroline said "There is a no touching policy, besides your going to give me a way better peep show than any of those morons can"
Bekah made a gaging sound and shook her head "The car is here to take us to the air port, so say your goodbyes and let's get the hell out of dodge"
Nik shook his head at his sisters retreating form and turned to his future wife, pulling her tightly against him.
"Have fun at your party Nik, let Kol do this he is really excited"Caroline said "And he knows you don't want some whore strippers all over you so he has something else arranged for you guys"she smirked at Nik's expression, that was a little uneasy.
"Well good luck on your adventure,i really don't think i need to tell you how much i am going to miss you sweetheart"Nik said giving Caroline a sad face, lip out and all making Caroline laugh
"Well don't tell me my love"Caroline said kissing his neck up to his ear "Show me when i get home"
Caroline heard a low growl come from Nik, she was playing with fire teasing him but she knew that and was fully prepared for the consequences.
"Call me as soon as you land love"Nik said kissing her deeply once more before unwillingly letting her go.
Caroline grabbed her carry on bag, which was surprisingly all she was taking and turned to blow Nik one more kiss before heading out the door. She quickly popped her head back in the door and smiled at Nik still standing there.
"Forgot something"Caroline said running up to him and throwing her arms around him kissing him one last time "I love you Niklaus"
He smiled at her and her gesture "As i love you Caroline"
"See you soon Nik"Caroline said before walking back out the door.
"Attention passengers this is your Captain speaking, we have now grounded in Los Angeles, California. Please enjoy your stay"
"Thank god"Bekah complained grabbing her bag, Caroline following, and heading off the plane to the awaiting car.
"Hello Ms. Mikalson, Ms. Forbes"the chauffeur said with a smile opening the door for them "Where to ladies"
"First we are checking in at The Beverly Hills Hotel, then to this gown botique"Bekah said handing him the business card
"Very well"the man said before sliding the separator window up
Bekah wasted no time in getting a bottle of champagne out of the cooler and filling up two glasses for them. Caroline smiled as she tasted the sweet bubbles going down her throat. A few minutes later they were pulling up to the grand hotel, Caroline's mouth was gaping open at the sight.
"This place is beautiful"Caroline said looking all around
"The places in Europe are better"Bekah said with a smirk walking up to the reception desk "Mikalson checking in"
"Very well"the man said calling a bell boy to take their luggage up to their room
"Have the young man set everything in our room we will be returning later after shopping"Bekah said grabbing Caroline's hand and pulling her back outside and into the car.
They pulled up to the dress boutique that had black cloth hanging in front of the windows, it looked as though the place wasnt even in business anymore with the lack of people.
"Is this place closed down or something"Caroline asked Bekah who gave her a knowing smile, Caroline still wasnt accustomed to their lifestyle yet and she thought that was cute.
"Only while we are here"Bekah said
"What?"Caroline asked too loudly getting out of the car causing people to look at her, they must have started to recognize her because suddenly a large group of people were coming toward them
"For this exact reason come on quick!"Bekah said pulling Caroline into the shop and closing the door
"Wow"Caroline mumbled
"You are pretty famous on this side of the country"an older woman said approaching them "Hello i am Madolen, welcome to Le Pierre's we have a rather impressive selection of gowns that have been imported from across seas for you"
"Nice to meet you Madolen, and i apologize is my sister in law has caused you an grief"Caroline said shooting a look at Caroline
"None more than usual"Madolen said smiling at Bekah "We supply Ms. MIkaleson with almost all of her major event gowns"
"They are wonderful here Care"Bekah said linking her arm with Caroline's "Come lets find your gown"
Hours later and many gorgeous gowns later they were still no where. Caroline liked a few of the gowns but found little details on each that she wanted on her dress. But nothing that really screamed 'the one' to her.
"Ok"Madelon said pushing a dress rack with one single garment bag on it "I reserved this one for last because even i think it is absurdly priced, but knowing your family it will be nothing. No one else in their right mind could afford this and still have an immaculate wedding. But lets see what you think"
Bekah smiled and clapped her hands in excitement and the woman unzipped the bag. What she pulled out was completely mind blowing. It was an off white color, made from the best Italian silk that could be found. The top was corset style with sheer thin straps, the bust was covered in diamonds and pearls and from the bottom of the bust to her hips was a gorgeous antique overlay. The dress poofed out at her waist with what had to have been ten layers of silk. The train was at least five feet long and covered in diamonds and pearls as well. Caroline felt like she couldn't breathe, this dress what everything she could have ever dreamed of and so much more.
"What size is this"Caroline asked running her fingers lightly down the dress in admiration
"All the dresses i have showed you match your fitting sizes perfectly"Madolen said with a smile
"May i try it on?"Caroline asked kindly
"Of course"Madolen said with her hand on her shoulder "Come child"
A few minutes later Caroline was in the dress and came out to stand on the stage in front of the mirrors. As soon as she came out from behind the curtains Bekah's hand went to her mouth, tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god Caorline you look like an angel"Bekah said
Caroline turned to see her reflection in the wall length mirrors and got teary herself. It looked like the dress was made for her.
"If i may say so"Madolen began "You look absolutely perfect in this gown Caroline"
"How much is it?"Caroline asked, Madolen handed her the tag for the dress
"Two million dollars!"Caroline screeched, her face reddening. Before she could say no Bekah grabbed the tag from her hands and turned to Madolen
"We'll take it"Bekah said
"No way Bekah i cant"Caroline said "Even with the Chanel job i couldn't afford it, i would be in debt for ever"
"Do you forget the family you are marrying into?"Bekah asked "Plus this is one of my mother's gifts to you"
"A gift?"Caroline said surprised to Bekah, as she nodded her head with a huge smile.
"Go ahead Madolen ring it up, here is the card and please have it over nighted to my family's estate. We can't have Nik peeking"
"Very well"Madolen said with a very friendly smile and she took the card and the tag and walked away
"Here take my phone and send a picture to Bonnie"Caroline said handing her cell to Bekah
Bekah did as she was asked and sent it to Bonnie with the caption "hate now bitches here is my wedding dress...DONT SHOW ANYONE"
Caroline laughed as she saw what Bekah wrote and then asked about the second part.
"Oh Caroline"Bekah said "You are aware that you are famous now right, even though you sure as hell don't act like it"
"I don't need to im still the same person"Caroline said as she turned for the woman to unzip her dress and pull it down
"Yea with a world full of followers"Bekah snickered
"I don't think of it like that"Caroline said getting her shirt and shorts back on, slipping on her heels
"Well the fact that they now have a security detail outside should make you think otherwise" Bekah said with a small smile "Ahh the life of the Mikalsons"
"Well let's make a break for it then"Caroline said as Madoeln handed Bekah the credit card back
"Thank you ladies and congratulations on your impending nuptulas Ms. Forbes, we look forward to doing business with you again" Madolen said
Bekah grabbed Caroline's hand and pulled her outside, Caroline was shocked to see the enormous mob around their car, many security guards forming a protective circle around the girls. Reporters were everywhere shouting questions to Caroline, which she had to ignore because of Bekah shoving her in the car. As soon as they pulled away Caroline let out the breath that she didn't realize she was holding.
"Wait till the wedding"Bekah said as if she could read all of her nervous thoughts
Caroline looked at her and shook her head in frustration "How have you managed to live like this"
"Very nicely actually"Bekah said with a smirk handing Caroline another glass of champagne "We will go back to the hotel and get refreshed then do dinner at the best restaurant in town"
"Will we be able to get in on such short notice"Caroline asked knowing how things go
"Of course"Bekah said confidently "Elijah owns the place"
"How did i not guess that one"Caroline said "You guys own everything"
Bekah smirked at her friend and laughed "Soon it will be yours to sister"
