A Quiet Life in Mystic Falls

Sexy Suds

Azalea woke up with a feeling of dread as she knew that today was the day of the car wash. Begrudgingly, she went to her swimming costume draw and pulled out the two bikini's she owned, one was a red high waisted bottom and a halter neck top. The second a deep blue with flowers on, normal straps but had a wrap bow kind of detail on both the high waisted bottoms and the top. In the end with a small smile she picked the Gryffindoresk ones and put them on under shows and a t-shirt. She hoped she could avoid Caroline for as long as possible and just clean in what she was wearing. Tying her hair up in a high pony tail she grabbed her keys, and her bag prepped with lunch and a towel and she made her way out to the fundraiser.

As soon as she got there, she saw Stefan and Elena, they were close to each other. Talking and smiling, looks like the whole meal thing went really well. She smiled at the thought of the two happy, and got out of her car. Locking it behind her, she made her way over to the sign up sheet and checked in. The cheerleader Dana, who had always seemed since compared to some of the others asked me to go over to the car behind Elena and Stefan. Smiling as she made her way over to the two seeing them kiss after what looked like and unsuccessful strip. She must have just missed Caroline.

"Get a room you two," Azalea teased as she walked towards the happy couple. They both turned to her with a smile.

"Hey, did you just get here?" Elena asked her.

"Yep, been given that car, and then told to go and help Bonnie."

"That'll be nice," the brunette said smiling.

"We should probably start working too," Stefan said. "Don't want Caroline to come back and scold us again."

"Speaking of Caroline, I'm going to get to work before she finds me. Bye." I moved past the two, picking up one of the heavy, sponge and soup filled buckets and lugged it to the car.

Wow this is a lot harder without magic, she thought as she with soaked shirt and hair tips stood back to admire her work. She had successfully cleaned the outside. Now she had to grab the hover and –

"Hold it!"

The redhead cringed at the sound of Caroline's voice, she turned slowly to see the annoyed blonde behind her.

"Hey Caroline –"

"Lea, this is a bikini wash, not a short a Tee. Strip now," Caroline snapped. She sighed, she had hoped the red bikini wouldn't be seen.

"Care, seriously I'm not sexy,"

"Yeah, you are –"

"No, I'm not, I have a few big scars that I'd rather not be seen."

"Lea," the blonde said gently, her expression softening. "Look, why don't you like, think of this as empowering. You have scars but you're a still sexy, confident and able to wear whatever the hell you want! Empower that you don't have to look like an airbrushed whatever to be cute, or hot or sexy. You just need to be you."

"Caroline that was actually really cool."

"Yeah it was," she smirked, before becoming strict again. "So listen to me, strip off and go empower Mystic Falls with your European, scarred beauty, sexy bod."

She winked and walked away. Still a little uncomfortable but smirking at Caroline's words; Azalea removed her shirt and shorts putting them into the bag she had kept nearby. She saw a couple of people staring at her and it made her blush.

"Looking hot, Lea!" I heard Caroline shout. I felt my face burn deeper.

Stefan watched the scene that Caroline had brought attention to. Looking at his new friends embarrassment. Her cheeks had gone red, she looked a little like a china doll. She looked down, one hand around her waist self-consciously as more people began to stare at her.
