*Aria’s POV*
“Go away, no, no, no, don’t touch me”, I begged. “Shhhhhh”, the guy said. “STOPPPPPP!”, I yelled.
“ARIA WAKE UP”, Mia shouted. “Oh s**t, what happened?”, I asked. “You were having a nightmare again”, Jade looked worried. “Oh okay, f**k i’m sweating”, I said while wiping sweat off my forehead. “You okay”, Jade asked. “Yeah, I was thinking if I fight for 5 fights for 5 days I get $7,500 and if no blood then $9,000. I was also thinking next week I do 3 days with 5 fights. Since, Thanksgiving is coming.” I said sitting up. “I know you don’t want money but what about Jade and I buy the tree, but they and Nick can come and we can pick a tree out together?”, Mia said. “Yeah, guys I’m sorry for acting that way for a couple of days or maybe more. It was my mom here and now she is gone, it’s been much easier. I’m trying to work myself out during the fights. Just give me some time for that”, I said. “Yeah, we understand Aria. We are here for you and you’re like a sister to us.”, Jade said. “Yeah”, Mia said after Jade. “Guys also Black Friday, you guys down?”, I said. “Hell Yeah”, Mia said. “f**k Yeah”, Jade said. “For the boys can you get the other person's boyfriend's gift since they're obviously going to be with us?”, Mia asked. “Yeah, if I even have a boyfriend. But I am going to get Klaus something because of the rent so, yeah. Just something nice.”, I said. “Okay I will get Klaus, Mia gets Conner’s, and Aria gets Axel’s. Also we all have to browse online and screenshot it and send it to the girl group chat.”, Mia stated. “Ay ay captain”, I said getting up. Jade was dying of laughter. “Looks like she’s back”, Jade managed to say. “Okay smart ass”, Mia said.
We all settled in the living room. The boys came over so we could chat about Thanksgiving.
“I was thinking we ordered takeout, but a large one. I’ll pay”, I said. “No the boys got this”, Klaus said while Connor and Axel agreed. “Alright, then you guys handle takeout and the us girls will handle the drinks and decoration, but we’re paying for our part”, I said while the girls agreed. “Alright”, Conner said. “Nick, just bring your girlfriend and Luke to the dinner”, I said while he came for a bit. “Okay”, Nick said.
“Guys also for Black Friday, we girls are going. You guys coming”, Mia said. “Yeah, we are. We couldn’t let you guys go alone”, Axel said while he winked at Mia. “Alright, Axel with me, Conner with Jade, and Klaus with Aria”, Mia said. “Sounds good”, I said. “After my fight, Jade and Mia will come with me to shop for Thanksgiving”, I said while getting my keys. “I’m coming to your fight and I’m driving”, Klaus stated. “I’m fine”, I said. “I’ll come back for you to go with Mia and Jade, let’s go.”, he sounded serious. “Uh okay”, I said annoyed. The girls agreed to my plan. We had like 6 days to prepare. I prefer to get it done as soon as possible. I’m feeling quite great without my mom being home.
I got done with my fight, Klaus was cheering me on. Before we came he seemed off. Maybe because I kept fighting.
“I wanna talk about us”, he started off the conversation. “I know last night was because I was in the moment. I don’t know if I wanna be in a relationship. I know you are sorry for what you did. Maybe we can just see how it goes?”, I said. “Yeah, I would like that, love”, he smiled. We got in the car and drove back home. I got back and met with Jade and Mia.
“Ya’ll ready to go to the store”, Mia said. “Yeah let’s go”, I said. “Yeah, let’s get it going” Jade smiled. When we arrived at the store we picked up some banners, streamers, a long-big table, medium table, chairs, speaker, napkins, apple cider, and some desserts for now and for thanksgiving. We got a long-big table and chairs because we are going to have it outside. The medium size table will be for the food. I also got a speaker because, who doesn’t like music right?. Anyways, I have things planned.
The boys were still there when we got back, they are like glue to us. Mia and Jade have Axel and Conner whipped. They helped bring in the heavy things and liked what we got. “We were planning to get turkey, corn bread, stuffing, mac and cheese with bread crumbs, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn.”, Conner said. “Well damn, I guess we are eating a lot then”, I laughed. So did the others. I got the gaze of Klaus' eyes. I broke it because the laughter was dying down. “Around nighttime on Thanksgiving is Black Friday?”, Klaus asked. “Yeah”, I said. “Oh okay better it’s earlier.”, he said. “So since the girls are getting the girls boys presents, the boys will do the same”, I heard Conner. “Sounds good”, Jade said. When we got done chatting I went out with Klaus to get some ice cream and came back and brought back ice cream from Nick.
“Can I come up”, Klaus asked. “Yeah, but I’m watching TVD again. I hope you can handle me drooling over Kai”, I winked. “Ugh, fine.”, he came up. He tackled me to the bed and started tickling me. “S—TO-P”, I laughed. “Say Klaus is better looking than Kai”, he said. “Hell no”, I started to laugh. He started to pout. “Awww”, I leaned in and kissed him. He rolled me on to my back and started kissing back. I had my arms around his neck. He had one of his hands on my hip and the other one planned in my cheek. We kept kissing for about a minute and then we got back to watching tv. “I want you to know I am here for you”, he touched and looked at my scar on my arm. “I’m fine, trust me. I promise I’ll tell you if things are going bad”, I said. “Promise”, he asked. “Promise”. I leaned in and gave him a peck on his cheek. “Your beautiful, love”, he said. “Your handsome”, I said. “Handsome than Kai?” he seemed to be a fool of himself. “Not a chance”, I hugged him. As much of a ‘bad boy’ he is, he can still act like a baby.
I do like him, I’m just not sure. I might be considering it to be honest. “Tomorrow can we go to the mall, I want to get candles for my room”, I asked. “As long I’m buying”, he said. “How about you only buy my candles and I buy anything else I want”, I said sitting up. “Really? I can support you and Nick”, he sat up as well. “Yes, I want to take care of myself. I have money”, I got up. “I don’t want you to fight anymore”, he said looking worried. “I’ll make a deal”, I sat on his lap. “What deal, may I ask”, he put my legs over his legs. “Once I’m your girlfriend, I’ll fight one day out of the week till I want to stop,'' I said. “Fine, but I will buy you stuff, you save your money”, he was confident in saying. “But-“, I was about to say something but he cut me off. “Nope”, he said, popping the ‘p’. “Fine”, I huffed. The girls were spending the night with their boyfriends so Klaus is staying with me tonight. “I’m going to sleep, goodnight”, I cuddled into him. “goodnight, love”, he said.
I loved it when he called me love. It made me feel secure.
I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn’t sleep. I went down to get some water and use the restroom. Nick was in his bed sleeping, I checked while going back to my room. “You okay, love”, he got up tiredly. “Yeah, just restless.”, I replied, getting back to bed. He brought me back to him and cuddled me to him. I heard his breath going shallow. “As long as I am with you, I will be okay”, I said, moving his hair out of his face. I hugged him and tried to get some sleep.
*Klaus’s POV*
I left in morning, I had to get back because I was planning on asking Aria out on Thanksgiving. I had Christmas in mind but I don’t want to wait. She’s all I want right now, not Emma. Emma is a long story which I will get to later. I had to get back to the boys because they were going to help me. They told Mia and Jade because I needed their help.
“What’s up”, Jade said. “Nothing much, alright lets all have a seat on the couches so we can go over the plan”, I said. Thanksgiving is coming soon so I have to go over the plan again to make sure it’s perfect. Everyone sat at the couch area so I made my way over with drinks for all of us. “Alright so I was thinking we all take pictures separately and then the last one all of us”, Mia said. “Yeah that’s good”, I said. “Should I ask when we’re taking pictures or should I do it a different way”, I asked. “What do you mean”, Jade said. “For the pictures we do separately and then when it’s our turn I’ll ask after one picture of us. When I ask and she says yes then when I kiss her is another picture I would like to have”, I said. “OMG that sounds good!!!!”, Mia said. “What’s the other idea”, Conner asked. “Uhh, I was thinking after the whole picture or we do a whole proposal thing for her to be my girlfriend”, I scratched my head. “Hmmm, lets brainstorm”, Axel said. “If we do proposal then, we can have you a set up around the side of the house and decorate it and you can ask there. If you want to do it before the dinner or after, it’ll work”, Jade said. “Yeah that sounds good”, Conner said. Lets take a vote, “Raise your hand for the one after one picture”, I said. I got about 3 including Mia, Axel and Conner. “Looks like the picture it is”, I said. “Jade since you have a dope ass camera set, would you like to take the pictures of us?”, I asked. “Of course”, she said. “Mia anyway you can get her in a dress, I want the picture to be good. I will also dress nice. We all will, if you can so she won’t suspect a thing”, I said. “Yeah, sounds tuff but I will do it”, Mia said. “Yeah, anything for you mate”, Conner said. “Alright sounds good, I’ll let Nick know, he already agreed”, I said. This really sounds like a marriage proposal but Aria does deserve the best.
