A/N: Okay so here is Chapter 2. I wanted to get another chapter out there because I had a few views and I didn't know if no on reviewed because there was only one chapter. I don't know what to make of this chapter it came to me while I was sitting at my desk at work so this is the result. To the person that subscribed thank you so much. Please Please Please if you guys could review and let me know what you think that would be awesome. I also wanted to state that most of the character will be ooc. There isn't going to be a love triangle FYI. Klaus is just being a big flirt. Rebekah and eve will be friends though. I also think Rebekah is also under rated. We never see her have any genuine friends so this story will include her a lot. Like I said before this is my first fanfiction so I'm still learning the hang of things!
A grumpy Tyler Lockwood rolled out of bed with a major fucking headache. This particular headache was the Optimus Prime of headaches. It was his own fault not that he would admit it. He spent the better part of the last two days binge drinking. A new vampire clan had moved into town and Klaus was not happy about it. So who did the pretentious little Original Hybrid call? His first hybrid and general Tyler. So of course Tyler had to drop what he was doing immediately and go investigate as to what the fuck exactly was going on. Klaus and Tyler had grown close over the past few years. They considered each other brothers. That didn't mean Tyler put up with his bullshit. Klaus didn't know it but he cocked blocked big time. He planned on asking Eve out immediately. Shit he was a man and she was a beautiful woman. So instead of being able to woo little Miss Eve. He went out and had a nice time at a club for supernatural called silks. Not only was he having a good time but he was working. Keeping an eye on what appeared to be the matriarch of the coven. Strippers, booze, blood straight from the tap of unsuspecting tourists. Shit he had good time and now he was paying for it dearly.
Tyler hopped into his shower and contemplated how he was going to deal with Klaus' new problem. It wasn't like Klaus couldn't handle it himself. Shit he is THE original damn Hybrid. Washing his hair Tyler couldn't help but think about how far he had come in the past 5 years. Leaving Mystic Falls was the best thing he could have done for himself. He was very glad that Jeremy Gilbert and Matt Donovan had agreed to leave town with him. He was sick of it all. Sick of the Salvatore's, mainly Damon and just all the supernatural bull shit that went on in that town. New Orleans was a beacon for supernatural activity but it wasn't like someone was always trying to kill him. Here he felt like he was at the top of the food chain, especially now that he and Klaus were close. He did miss Bonnie and sometimes he thought about Caroline, but nothing in the world could make him go back to Mystic falls fuck that. Stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around his waist Tyler went into the bedroom in search for his cell. Grabbing his cell phone off the bed Tyler rang Klaus. Hoping he wouldn't answer he was mentally preparing for the not to pleasant voicemail he was going to leave. "Please tell me you have good news?"
"I was really hoping you weren't going to answer…"
"And give you the satisfaction of being 'unavailable' later when I called you back" Klaus said using air quotations. "Look I didn't get much information and I need more time to figure out who exactly these people are. I have a few of my guys on it so I should know something by the end of the day." Tyler said as he was shrugging on his jacket. "Look I have a really big job I have to do so I'll be in touch" he finished.
"Ahhh the Gardens I heard you got that contract, surprised I didn't hear it from you. None the less I will be stopping by later there is something I need to tell you in person" Not giving Tyler a chance to respond he hung up the phone. "God Damnit" Tyler yelled grabbing his keys off the kitchen counter, and heading out the door. Today was going to be a long day he said to himself while hopping into his Silverado.
On the way to the gardens Tyler figured he would pick up some Coffee and donuts for the guys. They had a lot to do today. Pulling into the Dunkin Donuts he ordered 6 coffees and 2 dozen of donuts. Thanking the cute little red head at the window Tyler decided to ring his foreman Jeremy. "Yo man where are you and why didn't you tell me that the owner was so damn sexy?"
"Really Jeremy? Stop ogling our employer and please tell me you picked up the permits yesterday and everyone is there?"
"Yea man everyone except you is here. Where are you…You know what don't answer that I'm sure its Klaus business."
"Not now Jeremy I don't need to hear shit from you. I am on my way I'm about 15 minutes out. I'll see you shortly and leave Eve alone" Tyler said exasperated.
Eve was wearing a pair of navy blue shorts and a racer back tank top that had a tennis shoe and high heel on the front and on the back it read "Depends on the jerk" and rainbow flip flops. She was excited that they were starting the renovations on her home. She wanted to be a part of the renovations and the foreman said he would be more than willing to let her help out and teach her a thing or two. She was fairly certain that probably could mean 2 things but hey what the hell he could flirt all he wanted to. It didn't mean that she was interested. She was on a mission and that meant getting settled in and starting a new life. She was even considering starting a business. One that she always wanted to start and that was making natural hair care products and 100% organic body creams.
Eve was walking taking pictures of one of the fountains she planned on restoring when she noticed Tyler just arriving. Damn that man is all kinds of fine. She thought to herself. They sure don't make them like that in Florida. Must be a real southern thing, smiling to herself as she took pictures. Deciding she had enough she started to approach Tyler only to notice a black Range Rover pulling up to the house. She immediately began to panic. James drove the same exact car. She was scared the only thing that stopped her from running away, was a tall leggy blonde woman and a curly haired blonde man, stepping out of the Range. She thought she was going to pass out. Thank God it wasn't James. Curiosity got the best of her and she quickened her pace to see what was up.
Tyler noticed her approaching and started walking towards her. He was not happy that Klaus had just arrived. He held up a finger motioning Klaus and Rebekah to give him a moment. "Hey Eve I am so sorry I didn't immediately check in with you when I got here. I was making sure my guys knew exactly what the plans were today. "
"Don't worry about it. Looks like you had a long night" She gestured to the bags under his eyes. "Oh Yea, I'm a terrible sleeper"
"Yea and I'm Mother Teresa" she giggled. "I don't mind. You're here now and that's all that matters. She said smiling and looking into his eyes. She quickly realized what she was doing and changed the subject ASAP. "So who are your friends?" she inquired. "Oh that would be Niklaus and his sister Rebekah".
"You can call me Klaus Love"
"Oh okay Klaus well nice to meet you and your sister." She said as she held out her hand. Being the charming bastard he is Klaus took her hand and kissed it ever so gently whispering the "Pleasure is all mine". Eve's cheeks were burning red hot.
"Nik don't be crass. I'm Rebekah love and I'm glad someone bought this house you would be surprised at the neglect this house has suffered. Do you have a decorator yet?"
"No, I don't I was actually going to ask Tyler if he knew anyone." At that moment Tyler decided to break up the little welcoming party. He could sense how Klaus eyed Eve with a predatory look in his Eye and Rebekah looked like she just made a new friend. "Rebekah why don't you tell Eve all about your decorating skills and let me have a word with Klaus." Motioning for Klaus to follow him he called over his shoulder to Eve that as soon as he was done he would give her his undivided attention. Rebekah let out a sigh. She wasn't one to usually make friends but she liked Eve. She saw sincerity and honesty in her eyes. She knew that they were going to be great friends. If nothing else at least she was going to have a front row seat to what was about to happen. Tyler or "Klaus' lap dog" As she liked to call him clearly liked the girl. By the way Klaus reacted he could tell he wanted to have a go at her. To keep who knows but he definitely wanted to have a taste. Eve cleared her throat snapping Rebekah out of her thoughts. "So do you have any ideas on how you are going to decorate?" Rebekah inquired?
"Well I am a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe. I was thinking downstairs could be a Victorian/Goth décor and upstairs could be modern." Smiling Brightly Rebekah replied "You and I are going to be great friends Eve". With that the two woman walked inside the home chattering amongst themselves.
