After the tour, we began our work. Elena and Natalyn cooked, Bonnie and Michelle decorated, and Caroline and I got the drinks out. We were in the pantry, finding the right kind of alcohol.
"Kylie, can we talk?" Care asked.
I turned to her and nodded. "Me and Klaus have been talking recently, and well..... we are dating." She paused and frowned. "Please don't be mad."
I giggled and smiled. "I'm not mad at all. I'm extremely happy. I want you both to be happy."
I hugged her and rubbed her back in comfort. "Thanks, Ky," she said, pulling away.
"I'm guessing that means you know that they are staying at my place for a few days?" I asked.
Caroline nodded. "Klaus told me everything. And he is very happy to still be great friends with you."
I smiled. "Well, let's set out the drinks. We don't want to make the boys wait."
Caroline giggled, and grabbed all the bottles she could carry. I grabbed all I could carry, and we headed out into the kitchen.
"Finally, I was afraid you guys fell asleep," Elena joked.
We both laughed and set the drinks on the counter. "Nope. I was just talking to Care about the house."
Elena nodded and bottle open a bottle of champagne. She poured us each a glass.
"To Kylie finding a suitable man," Elena said.
We all clicked our glasses and took a sip. "To Kylie moving into her own place," Bonnie laughed.
We again clinked our glasses and took another sip. "To finding happiness," Natalyn ended.
"Cheers to that," I laughed. We all giggled and clinked our glasses, finishing off our drinks.
We heard a bunch of laughing from the front door. We all turned, watching Kai, Damon, Matt, and Stefan come in chatting and laughing.
I smiled at the group. I was happy everyone was getting along with Kai. He really needed friends.
I walked into the living room and sat down next to Kai on the couch. Kai smiled and set his hand on my thigh.
He continued on his conversation with the boys. I didn't want to interrupt, I was enjoying seeing him happy.
"Hey, Kylie, everyone will be here soon," Stefan said.
I nodded and watched as the boys carried on their conversation. The girls came in and sat down, joining in on the conversation.
The front door opened, revealing Jeremy, Alaric, and Jo. Jeremy walked over to me and pointed to the door.
"You're sister's boyfriend is outside," Jeremy said.
I giggled and got up. I walked to the door and opened it, revealing Enzo.
"You must be Enzo. I'm Kylie, Bonnie's sister. Come on inside," I greeted.
He smiled and walked inside. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he said, surprising me with an accent.
He sat down next to Bonnie and kissed her cheek. "Now that everyone is here, you are welcome to explore," I announced.
Everyone stood up and began to travel around the house. "Don't forget about the treats in the kitchen," Caroline reminded.
I giggled at her anxiousness. She made me laugh when she was serious.
I walked over to Kai and smiled. "How was it at the grill?" I asked.
He smiled. "I tried not to be a complete jerk, and they all seemed to love me. I think I'm just really lovable," Kai joked.
I smiled and kissed his cheek. "I find you extremely lovable."
"And I'm happy for that," Kai said, wrapping his arms around my waist.
Damon cleared his throat. "Sorry to interrupt ,Magic Sucker and Little Bennett, but you are out of treats."
I sighed and raised my brows. "How? The party just started."
Damon shrugged. "Come look for yourself."
I groaned and followed Damon into the kitchen. Kai stayed in the living room, which I found odd.
When we enter, all the treats were still there. I rolled my eyes and looked at Damon.
"Damon, why'd you lie?" I asked.
Damon smiled at me. "I just needed to talk to you."
I smiled and looked at him. "About what?" I questioned.
"Well, I wanted to see how you were doing. We haven't talked in a while."
I smiled and giggled. "Let's see. I just moved into a house with my boyfriend. I love him so much, yet I feel we are moving really fast....but at the same time I don't want to slow down. I still have to graduate from a school I haven't been to in 2 years. My ex, which I am good friends with, is going to stay at my house with his family. Care is dating Klaus. Hayley had a baby so I'm an aunt. Gosh, I want a baby. I miss being pregnant, but that isn't the point. I'm life is so crazy, but I'm extremely happy. I'm happy to have Bon, Care, Elena, Michelle, Nat, Stef, you, Kai, everyone. Even Jeremy, which is weird," I rambled on.
Damon laughed. He handed me a glass of bourbon. "Sounds like you need this a lot more than me."
I nodded and laughed, taking the glass and swallowing in one go. Damon laughed. "Uh, ok then," he mumbled.
I smiled and set the glass down. "That was really needed."
Damon laughed. Kai entered the room and took my glass, pouring himself a drink. He sipped it and looked at us.
"Enjoying the house?" He asked Damon.
He nodded. "You guys picked a good one. So did Stefan and Nat."
I inhaled a breath. "They moved already?"
Damon tilted his head side to side. "Kinda. They just found a house and compelled it into their names. They haven't really moved."
I nodded. "I always wondered when they'd become a thing. They'd always flirt."
Damon laughed. "Yeah. It was kinda awkward at the beginning."
Kai looked confused. "Why?"
I giggled. "Damon was dating Natalyn."
Kai made an 'o' shape with his mouth. "Makes since."
Damon and I both laughed. "Yeah. But it's all good now," Damon finished.
