PILLOW FIGHT
Caroline hung up the phone and jumped up and down. She had gotten a job at a well reputed company. Her days at the Bed Bath and Beyond were over. She jumped again and squealed without worrying if anyone was looking because it was almost their closing time and it was highly unlikely for someone to show up at the bedding section.
She was still dancing when her jam came on. Spice girls "Wanna be" reverberated from the speakers and she couldn't help herself.
Just when she was doing an impromptu dance step with a pillow in her arms, she heard someone laugh behind her.
Her enthusiasm and Spice girls voice died down and she was all of a sudden much too aware of the blonde guy with magnetic blue eyes and lips curved in a laugh which annoyed the hell out of her. Because she was acting too darn stupidly and he had witnessed her gaga episode.
"I think the pillow needs to take ballroom dance lessons. It isn't working too well with you." he remarked. Dammit, a British accent, she had been a fan of British accent since Harry Potter movies had come out. She felt her annoyance fade a little duh because British accent and second dimples, gorgeous, swoon worthy dimples.
"Were you spying on me? It's not very nice to spy on people." the blonde asked in a sweet voice.
Klaus had considered himself fortunate when he had seen the open sign at the main door. But he hadn't anticipated the he would happen upon such an adorable dancing blonde. She was really beautiful and her moves were cute.
"No I just happened to be at the right time in the right place." Klaus answered and she rolled her eyes.
"Why are you here at this hour? It's almost closing time." she crossed her arms.
"Actually I needed an "emergency pillow".
"A what now? Is that a serial killer thing?"she moved a few steps back.
He laughed again, "No. My daughter lost her pillow at the camp she was at. She just returned and could not sleep without her pillow."
"Okay maybe not serial killer but you're definitely a creep. You are married and you were ogling me while I was dancing."
"I'm not married. My ex girlfriend left Lindsay, my daughter with me a few years ago. And now Lindsay really needs her pillow so could you please help."
Caroline softened when he mentioned he was a single father raising a daughter. Her father had been a single parent himself so she felt for him, "Sure what type. Any cartoon character?" she asked and moved closer to the pillow rack. She began unloading a few pillows.
Klaus moved behind her, "I think.." he hadn't yet completed his sentence when a large pillow smacked him squarely in the chest. He looked up and saw that the blonde who was taking a few pillows out of the rack had been wrestling with a large one and it had hit him accidentally.
Caroline felt horrified for hitting him and she was about to apologize when a young girl from behind them called out, "Daddy. Did she hit you with a pillow? You know what this means."
Both the girl and his father shared a knowing look and grabbed a pillow and hit Caroline.
Lindsay's bubbly laughter rolled out mixed with Klaus's masculine one. Caroline narrowed her eyes and remarked, "Oh no you didn't. This means war." Then she charged at them with pillows in her hands.
Klaus grabbed Lindsay and ducked. Caroline threw another one at them which hit both of them and Caroline squealed again this time for being victorious. Then Klaus let go of his daughter and grabbed the larger pillow with a smirk. Caroline shrieked, "No!", and ran away around the bed. Lindsay was having the time of her life. Her father seemed happy with the blonde woman who looked like a pretty fairy. She thought maybe her daddy could be the king and blonde woman could be his queen and she could be their little princess.
Then Caroline pointing at Lindsay called out, "Hey. She is unharmed. Attack!"
Lindsay ran into his father's arms.
After an exciting and hilarious pillow fight the three of them were lying in the bed with Klaus in the middle and Caroline and Lindsay on each side.
"Sorry for the unwarned attack. I'm Klaus Mikaelson and this is Lindsay my troublemaker."
Caroline laughed, "I'm Caroline Forbes. Hi Lindsay." Lindsay mumbled a shy hi then added, "We won but you were a wolthy (worthy) oppentent."
"That's worthy and opponent. We are still working on a few words." Klaus sat up and pulling his daughter in his lap he kissed her head.
Caroline sat up too and shook hands with Lindsay. " You were a wolthy oppentent too sweety."
The three of them now stood. Lindsay chose a pillow for herself and Klaus muttered, "You were supposed to stay with Mary at the reception."
"Daddy. Pwease. I need to pick one myself."
He fluffed his daughter's curly brown hair again. They were really very cute, Caroline observed.
Before turning to leave Klaus asked, "Would you maybe like to go out with me sometime?"
Caroline smiled and he found it infectious.
"Sure. Only if I get a rematch."
He laughed then added with a wink, "Oh you're on."
