two days before the wedding
"Why does it smell like flowers in here?" Kol asked looking at his brother.
"Because the idiot person at the flower shop messed up the day. But no worries flowers are well taken care of thanks to our sister being a witch" Nik said with smile.
"Glad Elena isn't here otherwise she would have stressed about it" he said.
"That's why Rebekah has went to your house. So Elena wouldn't find out" Nik said pouring two drinks and then handing one to Kol.
"Ah...explains why I could faintly smell flowers on her when she arrived" Kol said taking one of the glasses.
"Rest assured Rebekah has stayed on top of everything else, caterers and the like will probably be glad when she stops calling everyday" he said amused taking a drink.
"That's our sister for you, making sure everything is perfect" Kol said with a smirk.
"Ah, your both here. Why does it smell strongly of flowers in the house?" Elijah asked.
"Mix up at the flower shop so Freya preserved them" Nik said.
"Oh. Anyways our final fitting is tomorrow around 11. I hope that is alright with everyone" Elijah said.
"That works as the rehearsal isn't until 6. I'll let Jeremy know when I get home" Kol said taking a drink.
"Did Bonnie and Caroline get the decorations done? I figured after rehearsal we could get everything set up" Rebekah said.
"Yes and sounds like a plan. Speaking of, when do the flowers arrive?" Elena asked, making Rebekah wish she hadn't asked.
"The flowers will be there tomorrow...." she said looking everywhere but at Elena.
"What? Please tell there wasn't a mess up with the flowers" she said in a slight panic.
"They arrived two days ago, but Freya cast a spell to preserve them. We took care of them and as of this morning they look the same as the day they arrived" she said with a smile to reassure Elena.
"Thank goodness. I started to freak out" she said with a chuckle and a hand over her heart.
"You should have seen Nik, he gave the flower shop owner a piece of his mind" Rebekah said with a grin.
"I can imagine. I want you to know I appreciate everything you have done, making all this come together for Kol and I" she said.
"It is a pleasure, gives me something to do besides put up with my brothers. I'm going to head home and see what my brothers are up to" she said as they walked to the front door.
"Leaving so soon sister?" Kol asked as he noticed her getting to walk out just as he walked in.
"Figured I would irritate Nik for awhile. Oh and I told her about the flowers beings after rehearsal we'll be decorating. Besides the scent they put off is hard to ignore" she said as she gave him a quick hug and bound down the stairs.
"Is Jeremy home?" he asked as he gave Elena a quick kiss.
"Not yet. Why?" she asked.
"Last fitting for tuxs is at 11" he said following her to the kitchen.
"Ah. Speaking of...Jeremy!" she called out as footsteps changed directions.
"Yeah?" he asked looking at them.
"Tomorrow at 11 is our last fitting for tuxs" Kol said.
"What time will we be leaving then?" he asked.
"9:30" Kol said helping Elena prepare dinner.
"Hey..when is rehearsal? Jeremy asked.
"Six" they both said at the same time.
"Ok. I'm going to go get a shower before dinner" he said leaving the kitchen and bounding up the stairs.
"Rebekah has been a big help with everything. I can't believe the flower shop messed up the day like that" Elena said shaking her head as she started setting the table.
"Good thing your future sister is a witch who preserved them" Kol said with a smile.
"True. I feel bad for the delivery guys though. I can picture your brother with a look of frustration when the flowers showed up" she said with a grimace.
"I have been on the receiving end of his frustration and it's not good place be" he said helping her with the finishing touches.
"No it is not. Strange how he went from wanting my blood to make hybrids to becoming family in two days" she said.
"Well you don't have to worry anymore about him, he protects family. It's his number one priority even though he isn't the eldest of us" Kol said as Jeremy walked in.
"Smells good in here. I miss your cooking Elena" Jeremy said as he went to the fridge to grab the milk.
"I miss having you around to cook for" she said smiling.
"What about me?" Kol asked with a fake pout.
"You have other appetites that isn't always food" she said giving his arm a pat.
"Ouch...but I hate to tell you this love but my other appetites are food" he said with a smirk.
"He got you there Elena. After all he is a vampire..." Jeremy said as he stopped realizing a vampire was going to be his brother-in-law.
"Touche. Now let's eat" she said.
