I don't own VD.
Sigrid knew that she had hurt Klaus pride when she had asked him to back off but now two weeks had passed and she was starting to feel ready to get their relationship or whatever this thing between them was, on the road. The more she had tried not to think about him the more she had been thinking about him. His blue eyes and the intensity in them when looked at her. His strong and muscular arms that had held her in a firm grip when he had bumped into her a few weeks earlier haunted her and she found herself wanting to be held by them again. She barely knew him but still something was drawing her towards him.
Sigrid had made a few small rearrangements in her life since she last saw him. She had quit her kindergarden job because of an offer that she really couldn't refuse: She had been offered to participate in a Vivienne Westwood fashion show in Milan, the only problem was that when she had announced that she was going to be in it she had gotten an anonymous letter in the mail saying that if she participated she would get staked. Someone was out to kill her and she didn't have a clue why and how did this person know what she was? The only people who knew about her being a vampire was Elijah and Klaus and she didn't think that anyone of them had sent her the letter. Did it still have something to do with Kanye?
She had had a hard time sleeping just thinking about it and had been dreaming nightmares ever since she first got it in the mail. Why would anybody want to see her dead? She had been thinking about it back and forth for almost a week and had finally decided to call Klaus. Not that she thought that he would be able to clear this whole mess out but because she need a distraction and while not talking to him or seeing him for two weeks she had made up her mind about him and knew now that she really wanted to give him a proper chance, if he still wanted her of course. She picked up her phone and dialed Klaus number. She was starting to feel sick. Was he even going to answer?
"Hello?" She had almost forgotten how his voice sounded and it literally made her shiver when she heard it.
"Hej, It's me" She froze by her own words. It's me? had she actually said that? Like she though he would know just by the sound of her voice. But somehow she could hear through the phone that he was smiling.
"Sigrid, you've finally decided to call me. I was starting to think that you wouldn't."
"What made you think that? I didn't say that I didn't want to see you." She was a woman of her word.
"And you do want to see me now love?" His voice was smooth and husky and she felt the butterflies awaken in her stomach.
"Yes, I was thinking that maybe you wanted to watch a movie or something at my place." Did hybrids watch movies or did they just plan to kill people? She didn't know but she was about to find out. There was a long pause before he answered.
"Are you asking me out on a date, sweetheart?" She was startled by his words because she really didn't know what she was doing but regained her composure and answered.
"I guess or you know, i'm not really asking you out it's more of a staying in kind of thing." She was trying to sound as confident as she could and she thought she did a great job but didn't know if he bought it.
"I'll be there at seven." He was definitely smiling. It made her feel good.
"Bring pizza" She said just as she hung up. She felt happy, it was going to be her first date in over a year. She hadn't had a date since the Kanye accident and that had as familiar ended as a catastrophe. She made a quick glance at the watch, It was five so she had two hours to take a shower and get dressed. She hadn't been this excited in a very long time. Nothing could go wrong tonight, she was going to blow his mind.
Klaus had been taken by surprise by her phone call. He actually didn't think that she would ever call him back but he was glad that she had. The two weeks that he hadn't seen her he had almost gone crazy. There was so much he wanted to know about her and ask her and most of all he wanted to touch her and feel her silky smooth skin. He wanted to look at her and study her because to be honest he hadn't really had the guts to really look at her closely when they had had coffee. She scared the shit out of him by making him feel this way and that was exactly what he wanted, all his life people had lived in fear of him and for once he understood all those people who had been afraid of him because the fear he felt towards Sigrid couldn't compare to anything he had ever experienced before but that didn't stop him from wanting to be with her. He wanted someone to shake some life into his dead soul and he knew that Sigrid was the one to do it. He would never admit it to anyone but Klaus, feared original hybrid was actually nervous of what might happen tonight but at the same time he couldn't wait for her to open the door and let him inside. A car ride had never felt longer but there he was standing outside of her door with a pizza in his hands about to ring the bell.
*Pling*
There she was, as stunning as ever. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a white knitted sweater, her long blonde hair was hanging loosely over one shoulder and she smiled with her whole face when she saw him.
"Hej" She said and quickly reached out and gave him a hug. He was thrown off his game, when had anyone ever given him a hug just like that? It was so very odd for him that he didn't react to hug her back. It was a human feature giving someone a hug just like that and he smiled at her when she let go of him. She was totally unafraid of him and it wasn't something that he was used to, people were always really tens in his presence but not Sigrid and that was really attractive to him. When she took the pizza off his hands her sweater went up a bit and he could see a bit of her flat stomach. He could feel his mouth watering and his whole body ached with wanting.
The doorbell rang. She had decided to wear something casual but still attractive and her skinny black jeans and her white knitted sweater was always a safe bet. She opened the door and when she that he was looking extremely cocky she decided to give him a quick hug to throw him off his game a bit and to judge by the look on his face it had worked.
"Come on in! I've rented all the movies in the Twilight saga series. I haven't seen any of them yet so I thought it would be fun and if the first one sucks then we don't have to watch the others. Sounds good?" She turned and looked at him.
"Yes that will be fine, love" he walked into the apartment looking around and she wondered what he was thinking. She was a young soul and he was over a thousand years old. What could she possible have to offer him? Sigrid made her way through the apartment and was well aware of every move she made because she felt Klaus gaze at her back the whole time. She put the pizza on the living room table and sat down on the couch. She patted the couch next to her and looked at Klaus as a gesture to make him come and sit down beside her. He raised an eyebrow but slowly made his way to the couch and sat down.
"So these Twilight movies, have you seen any of them?" She felt truly happy that he had come and noticed that she felt extremely safe in his presence. For the first time in over two weeks she felt like she could relax and not think about the letters. Klaus looked intensely at her and just shook his head.
"Who's the pizza for, love?" He looked around as if someone else would be in the room but of course he knew that they were alone. Sigrid smiled broadly against him
"For me, I love pizza and now I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight or damaging my body." He chuckled at what she had just said and it surprised her, she never would have thought he was capable of laughing since he always seemed so serious.
"Living the dream now then, sweetheart" He smirked.
"Best thing about being a vampire! now lets see what this Edward Cullen vampire has got to offer." She pressed play and scooped a little bit closer to Klaus. All the small things she did seemed to surprise him and his whole body tensed but with Klaus being Klaus he soon loosened up again and a strong feeling of safety came over Sigrid. The movie began in front of her eyes but somehow she couldn't focus fully on it because all she could think about was Klaus and how he was sitting just inches away from her and she tried to read him by looking at him. He was a lonely man, she could tell since she was a lonely soul herself. Her heart ached by just thinking about spending a thousand years feeling lonely and by and impulse she took his hand in hers and squeezed it once. He looked at her for a brief moment all serious in his eyes looking like he didn't know weather to pull his hand back or if he was going to say something but then just slowly squeezed back. If her heart would have been beating it would have been pounding out of her chest right now but she remained her cool and continued watching the movie that was playing out before them. She felt happy but at the same time scared out of her mind. There she was Sigrid Rosengård holding hands with the most powerful creature on the whole planet of earth and the scariest part was that she never felt so safe as she was feeling right at this very moment.
Everything in Sigrids apartment looked like her. Her whole apartment smelled of life and dreams and he didn't really know what to say. He had been waiting to be with her for over two weeks and now that he was here with her just inches away he couldn't think of one good thing to say. He was busy watching her now that he was really allowed to. She moved with grace and she looked truly beautiful in a very special way. Her features were beautiful, her nose was small with freckles on it and her lips were almost raspberry red. Her eyes were big and olive green with two brown spots in them. She was the first girl to ever catch his eye this way and he thought that he had found the same thing in Caroline months earlier but realized just now that what he felt for Caroline couldn't by any chance match up to what he was feeling when he saw Sigrid. If Caroline had been light then Sigrid had to be life and it all made sense to him now. Sigrid didn't show any fear towards him and it didn't seem like she was even a little bit scared of him not even the first time they met and still she had known who he was all the time. She was totally unafraid and it was extremely rare and attractive. The only other person he knew who was like that was himself.
They were sitting on the couch and the movie began and Edward met Bella but Klaus couldn't care less, he was watching Sigrid as she was watching the movie. He was thinking about the beautiful creature next to him who had mystically scooped a bit closer to him and now took his hand in hers. It caught him off guard and he stiffened up but realized that this was what he had wanted all along. He just wasn't prepared for her to make the first move. He felt like a teenager with butterflies in his stomach but decided to just enjoy this while it lasted. She would surely soon realize what a monster he really was and ask him to leave.
Two out of five movies were done and she was just about to change to Eclipse when Klaus broke the silence.
"I will gladly sit with you through the last three films if you want to seem them but that Edward is such a poor excuse for a vampire love that I almost feel a bit sick" She laughed but suddenly got serious.
"Klaus" He turned his face and looked at her, piercing her with his sky-blue eyes.
"Yes sweetheart?" She let go of his hand and turned so that they were facing each other and to judge by the look on Klaus face he knew that something was up.
"I'm going to Milan next week." The word slipped out of her mouth before she even got time to think about it. "I'm going in a fashion show for Vivienne Westwood and I though maybe you wanted to come with me" Sigrids whole world stopped for a few seconds. Did she really ask him to go to Milan WITH her? Her plan was to be playing hard to get and this was definitely not it. It felt like a whole lifetime before he opened his mouth and answered.
"And?" One of his eyebrows was cocked and he looked a bit startled by the sudden invite and she understood that he knew that she had not told him the whole story.
"Someone has threatened to stake me when I do."
