CHAPTER FOUR LATER THAT DAY
DURING ELLE'S LUNCH BREAK she's at the local dress shop. Though she doesn't wanna attend the tea party, she thought it would be ashamed if she had skipped Rosaleen's tea party after she had already skipped her wedding. As couple things that ran through her mind but the one that mostly bothering was Klaus, she frustratedly sighed as she looked through the racks of dresses.
"Is everything okay?" A blonde girl asked as she approached Elle. "Yeah um— I'm just having trouble finding a dress that's all" Elle says as she continued to look through the racks. "I'm not that gullible" the girl said taking Elle by surprise, "Excuse me?" Elle questioned, "it's just that I know when I see something troubling a young girl's mind" she said
Elle stood silently before the girl spoke up again, "is this a boy you fancy?" she asked, "um yes" Elle said. "And did he do something barmy?" the girl asked, "No— it's me" Elle says lowering her head. The girl waited for Elle to continue and she did, "ever since he showed up in this town— he's attracting other females, and we're not together but it just makes me feel like he'll never go for a girl like me." Elle says shrugging her shoulders
"darling you are beautiful—but boys don't understand what it's like to be us girls— and our feelings" she says. "So what do I do?" Elle asked, "if you really want him— you have show him, ask him out on a date" the blonde says.
"oh!— I don't know if I can do that" Elle chuckled, "yes— yes you can and when you do" she says as she grabs a dress of the rack "wear this dress to the date, make sure for the date put your hair up and apply makeup" the girl suggested. "Oh I've already tried makeup it doesn't work for me" Elle says.
"you probably wasn't doing it right— like I said you are already beautiful and makeup is used to enhance your beauty not cover it up" she says before a man wearing a suit showed up behind her, "I must go— duty calls" she says as she walks away, "um thank you!" Elle quickly says to the girl. She gave Elle a smile before walking out the store with the man.

Elle smiled at her new found confidence. She grabbed some heels and a clutches before going towards the cashier to purchase her items.

AFTER ELLE LEFT THE DRESS SHOP her lunch break was up but instead of going back to her job she rushed towards the paint store. Once she got there the door was locked and she figured no matter how much she knocked Klaus was never going to hear her. That's why instead she unlocked the store with the spare key Brenda gave her
She walked in and quickly closed the door behind her. "Klaus?" she says but there was no response, half the lights were cut off which made Elle believe he wasn't in the store but maybe he was in the loft upstairs.Without any hesitation she walks upstairs "Klaus?" she calls out again but there was still no answer. She noticed the door the loft was left open just a crack, she knows this could be a bad idea but what if something happened she thought, she has to make sure just in case
She slowly opened the door more as she walked in further, soft rock played in the background as she carefully looked around her surroundings. She was cut of guard by all the different paintings that sat in different corners of the loft, especially the one that wasn't finished by kind of resembles her
A floorboard creaked from behind her making her jump and turn around only to see Klaus standing there, "Klaus! I'm sorry— um I don't usually walk in unannounced but the door was cracked out" Elle says. Klaus chuckled at Elle's nervousness "calm down love, you are always welcome inside" he smiles at her
Elle smiles back and at this moment she took a real good look at Klaus and noticed he wearing nothing but a towel that's wrapped around his torso. Elle started to blush she tried to hide it but Klaus still noticed. "are you okay?" he asked
"Yeah, I'm fine— I um wanted to ask you a question" she says, he nods signaling her to continue " would you like to go to a tea party with me?" Elle asked, there was an awkward silence between them, "you don't have to go if you don't want to" Elle quickly added
"No! um I'll love to go" he quickly says, "really?" She asked. "yeah" he nods
"That's great! I'll give you the rest of the information tomorrow— I have to go but to work" she says. "Okay" he smiles making her smile back "bye" Elle says as she walked towards the door, Klaus waves back to her before she exited the loft and closed the door behind her.
Elle did a little excited dance before leaving the paint store and walking to her job.
