"Klaus what the fuck! When you said you were coming I assumed maybe around lunch time. Not as soon as the damn work day starts. Jesus Christ. Did you hear her heartbeat? Did you hear how you initially freaked her out? Come on man you can't just show up" Tyler snarled through a clenched jaw. "Whoa why the hell are YOU so angry? I told you I was coming by to tell you something important. So relax. I had to drive this was to go out to the Bayou anyway. Hayley is out there with Hope for the next month letting her get in touch with nature and all that Jazz. Listen I can see you have the hot's for little Miss Eve so I will be quick."
"Wait, how did you know her name actually never mind" Klaus appeared to be frazzled. I mean he was usually always frazzled but he looked shook. Worried even and Tyler interest was piqued. He nodded his head for Klaus to continue. "I was paid a visit by the Patriarch and his son of that coven. Apparently he is here to acquire an army. More importantly he wants you to train them. Almost comical if you ask me seeing how I trained you anyway he…"
"What does he want an army for and how the hell do they know about me?" Tyler asked interrupting Klaus. Rolling his eyes Klaus explained to Tyler how these particular vampires were having troubles in their home country and they wanted to take it back from some Wolves. Klaus also told Tyler that they would be paying him a visit, when he didn't know. He assumed it was to give Tyler more details they had neglected to tell him. They seemed harmless enough and well-mannered that he doubted they would pop up at an inconvenient time. Klaus said that last part with a smirk because he knew his Hybrid wanted to bed the pretty little owner of this house. So hopefully said time wouldn't be in the middle of a steamy romp session between the two. Hell he wanted to bed her too but he could tell Tyler was a little more interested than he was so he would flirt and nothing more. Willing if he were to see her again after today. Which Klaus knew his sister had taking a liking to the young woman. So in fact he would be seeing her again.
"Did he happen to mention when he wanted to chat. Do you think he was telling the truth? What if I refuse? Why come here for an army? That just doesn't make any sense."
"With all the questions you would think me incompetent. I did not ask. I'm sure the opportunity to have all questions answered will happen tonight when they come to the party." Klaus oozed with amusement. Tyler was genuinely worried. Why the fuck would someone want him to be a 'general' of an army. He was just Tyler. Nothing to particularly special about him. Or so he thought. "This is some heavy shit Klaus. I wasn't plan on coming to your stupid party but I guess I can show up now that things are getting interesting"
"Don't sound so miffed. You've been bored with this construction worker routine. I keep up the excitement in your life. You love it." Klaus grinned. He was loving every minute of their exchange.
"I need to talk with Eve. I have been missing for the past 2 days and I really need to make sure she knows I'm going to take this job serious. I'll see you later tonight at the party."
"Yea I know I will. You should bring Eve seeing as Rebekah matchmaker has already asked her."
"God dammit you guys need to leave immediately. Let's go get your damn sister" Tyler motioned towards the house.
The girls were inside of the old Ballroom. They were deep in conversation about the party tonight. Eve was a little skeptical on going, but Rebekah assured her she would stay by her side all night. Rebekah hearing Klaus and Tyler approaching decided to make things a little interesting. Knowing the Hybrids would hear her. "So Eve, what do you think of Tyler and all of his muscles?" Eve nearly choked on her spit at Rebekah's words. "Um well he's very good looking if that's what you're asking"
"Well darling I'm asking if you fancy him." Eve rolled her eyes. She wasn't interested in the least bit. "Like I said he's cute and all but I'm not really interested in him like that."
"Wow talk about being blunt"
"I don't mean it like that. I mean any girl would be crazy not to give him a go but I am not looking for that at the moment. I just want to get to know the city and know myself again." Eve quickly caught herself. She didn't want to come off as depressed or lonely. Rebekah picked up on it right away though. "Sweety the best part of a new town is the new men" causing both girls to burst out in laughter. "If it's not too much trouble for me to say I think Tyler…"
"It is too much" Klaus chimed in starling Eve. "One must never discuss another's personal life Rebekah. Even if you are good friends with them."
"Yeah Rebekah. Not your place" Tyler chimed in giving her major attitude.
"Rebekah love it's time we head out. We have a niece to go see and a party to go host. Hopefully all of our new friends will join us tonight" Klaus said with a wink at Eve causing her to blush profusely. "See you later Eve. Where something to show off you cute little body" Rebekah admonished with a wave. Tyler rolled his eyes watching the siblings leave bickering to each other. Tyler looked at Eve causing her to shift uncomfortably. "So I take it you heard that?"
"Not all of it." Tyler stated walking up to her. "I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by it I was just…"
"Don't worry about it" Tyler interrupted. "Rebekah loves to stir the pot and play match maker. It's her thing. Get used to it. I'm sure she will try to introduce you to most of her guy friends at the party" Tyler said with a little unease in his voice. Eve laughed showing Tyler her perfectly white teeth and exposing her jugular a little. He inhaled deeply. His mouth watered. "Oh lord she's one of those girls huh, my friend Megan back home is like that. She can't stop playing match maker but never has a man of her own. She's too picky."
"Everyone has that one friend who loves to play matchmaker but is horrible at it" Tyler nodded his head in agreement."
"Hey Tyler is there anything specific I need to stick around for? I was kind of hoping to go into town and go shopping a little."
"No I just wanted to touch base with you so you know I'm around and if I'm not here my foreman Jeremy or Matt can help you out. Let me give you my number so if you absolutely have or need to speak with me you can."
"Thank a lot. Hey um Rebekah didn't give me her address or actually the address to the party. She didn't disclose if it was at her house or not."
"Oh well ill also put her number into your phone along with her address. I'm sure she meant to give it to you, it's just her brother can be a bit pushy so I'm fairly certain it slipped her mind."
"Well I appreciate it. I'm going to head out now and see if ya'll nawlins sell a decent dress or two." Tyler chuckled and bid her goodbye. He had to admit he was a little surprised at Eve's answer to Rebekah. It was an honest one and for that he was grateful he kind of felt bad though. Maybe being missing in action for 2 days gave her the impression that he was non-commital. Humph he would have to work on improving their relationship. I mean she technically was his boss and this was the biggest job he had scored so far. Yes it paid the most but when he was done the historical society would be hosting a major party and hopefully liking his work business would boom!
Later on that evening around 8pm
Eve had just stepped out of the shower. She had did her hair in Bantu knots that she started to take out. She was excited. Making new friends and actually getting out into the world and not being home like an old hermit. James would never agree to let her go to a party unless it was a benefactor event. How boring, Eve thought. Finishing with her hair Eve decided to put on her makeup. She didn't want to do a full face so she decided she would go with cat eyes and red lips. A girl could never go wrong with red lips. After rubbing down her body in her jimmy Choo body cream it was time for the dress. Eve was used to wearing expensive dresses dating James and all but this one was more her style. He would have never let her wear something like this. It was a Sleeveless Balmain geometric print knit dress. That came a little above mid-thigh. She didn't buy any shoes she had plenty. She paired the dress with her yellow Giuseppe Zanotti Pumps and a red Mui Mui shoulder clutch. Eve had to do a double take in the mirror. She wasn't just smiling because she looked good. She was smiling because so much of her personality shined through. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so free.
Walking down stairs Eve grabbed her cell phone. She sent Rebekah a quick text.
*Hey it's Eve. I'm on my way.
*Hey girl! Great im waiting on you! Can't wait for you to get here. You're on the list.
*See you soon. Eve responded.
Eve thought about texting Tyler but decided against it. She was interested she told herself. Or more like tried to convince herself. Stepping outside her Uber driver opened the door and Eve slid inside the black Chevy Tahoe. Closing the door Eve smiled to herself. Tonight she was going to make it her mission to have fun.
