"You're up early. After the night we had, I expected you to sleep in," Klaus suddenly said, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Morning, baby," I said. We were in bed still. I was up though, laptop in front of me as I sat up in bed and he slept beside me.

"Good morning," he said, sitting up also. He gripped my chin, pulling gently and making me face him instead of my screen. I sighed softly and his brows furrowed. "I see your laptop is more important than your boyfriend but I want my kiss anyways."

I cracked a smile, pecking his lips. He didn't let me go until we shared one deep kiss. "Sorry, Klaus," I mumbled.

"What's wrong, love?" He finally asked.

"My mom. She's sending me all this wedding stuff. And getting on my nerves," I huffed and he chuckled.

"Be nice," he teased. "She's just excited and she probably misses her little girl."

"Well, then she should make the effort to see me," I retorted.

He didn't say anything then, just kissed the top of my head. "What are you doing on the computer?" He asked instead.

"Ordering things on amazon. I have 6 days before the Fourth of July. And I want to decorate the place for when my friends come down to visit," I told him and he nodded.

"Hey, I have an idea."

"What?"

"I'm not saying you'd like it, but what if you invited your mom too?" He suggested.

My eyes widened in disbelief. "You think that's a good idea?"

"Yes. It's clear you miss her too, otherwise you wouldn't be this upset over everything if you didn't care. So invite her. You need the closure at the least, Danielle."

"But I... I'm scared."

"Of what, baby girl?" He asked, caressing my cheek as he pressed his forehead to mine. "What are you scared of?"

"I don't want things to get worse between us. I also just want a good time on one of my favorite days."

"Love, call her. And invite her. Now," he ordered. "I'm going to shower and then I'll make a few calls. I think I have a better place to host your little party."

"What?" I frowned in confusion.

"Call your mother then join me in the shower and I'll tell you."

"Okay," I agreed. He kissed my cheek before hopping out of bed, fully naked. I watched him waltz into the en suite before I called my mother.

"Baby, no. I can't," I as I pushed Klaus away. He was sucking on my neck and pulling my panties to the side. "Seriously, I'm getting a headache from all the noise. I can't possibly do this. It's distracting and annoying," I stated.

Klaus growled in frustration, getting off of me. He hopped out of bed in just the pair sweatpants he slept in. "Enough with all the racket!" I heard Klaus yell as I got out of bed also, chasing after him.

I was in one of Klaus' large t-shirts that came down to my knees almost. "Is there a problem, brother?" Elijah called up. Klaus was leaning over the railing down at his older brother in the open courtyard.

Elijah got the construction men to stop, finally the banging ceased. I stood next to Klaus, putting my arm behind him to rest my hand on his back. "I agreed to a general sprucing up, not a bloody three-ring circus," Klaus spat.
