Double Life

Chapter Eleven: The Casket Girls

Nobody's Pov

As everyone settled down the next episode began to play.

The screen turns on and the camera shows the compound before we head inside.

We head into Holden's room where we see him standing in front of his mirror. He's wearing a tuxedo and has his long hair tied up.

Tay whistled when seeing Big onscreen.

"Looking good" Tay complimented, a small smile on his face.

He knew it was stupid since the former bodyguard of his best friend couldn't hear him but he couldn't help himself.

He may not have known Big, or Holden, personally let alone knew him enough to be friends with him.

But whenever he was over at the main family and did see him, given he was Kinn's head bodyguard for long time, he had to admit he was handsome.

Whether he was in his work suit or anything for that matter, he was handsome.

Kinn chuckled at his best friend but couldn't help but agree.

He would never admit this to anyone but he did find Big handsome.

And he would also never admit that maybe, just maybe, he was really attracted to Big in the beginning and as time flew by.

But, then again, he mainly slept around with any man and it would've been the same for Big.

But that was all in the past and now he is with someone that is far better than his flings or one night stands.

The same can be said for Big. 

He would never compete with the love of his life, Porsche.

But he was close to second place. Or, at the very least, third.

As he admires himself in the mirror he fails to notice Klaus walking inside his room, staring at him with a glint in his eyes.

"What are you doing, love?" Klaus asked.

Holden picked his head up and looked at the hybrid through the mirror.

"Today is the festival for the casket girls but since Hayley and I can't go out we decided to wander the place and we found a few vintage clothing. My sister is currently in her room changing into a vintage wedding dress while I'm here wearing this vintage tuxedo" Holden explained.

At his words everyone grew confused yet curious.

"What the hell are the casket girls?" Pete asked with a raised eyebrow.

"And what festival is going on?" Porsche asked in confusion.

Gertrude sighed before turning to the former bodyguard of the main family.

"The casket girls were legendary since it was known as a young society of women that imported from France with the promise of marrying a proper New Orleans gentleman" Gertrude explained.

She then turned to Porsche.

"The festival is a yearly reminder of how woman can be oppressed by selfish men and how they can triumph when brave enough to fight for themselves" Gertrude explained.

With their questions answered Pete and Porsche nodded their heads in thanks before turning back to the screen.

Gertrude merely nodded before resuming the episode.

Klaus chuckled as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I never pegged you as the type of person to dress up" Klaus said, leaning against the wall.
