Futures Past

Home at last (13)

They arrived at the twin's house as it started to turn dark.

Enzo immediately rushed in to claim a room with Davina following.

The twins lead Freya to one of the larger and more private rooms. And Freya immediately claimed it as she began unpacking her few items.

The twins went to check on the others, to find Davina had claimed a room beside Stefan and Enzo chose one near Freya's.

Both were unsurprising choices.

Lizzie went back outside to grab the package she saw laying on their porch. She shook it slightly as she brought it inside.

It didn't make any noise that could allow her to identify it.

Lizzie went to the kitchen and opened the package.

In it were two cheerleading outfits.

These must be from Caroline.

Lizzie spotted a note at the bottom and pulled it out.

Hey, I am leaving your cheerleading outfits outside your house. When you get back, I want you guys to wear them to the game. You guys won't be in this cheerleading performance but I'm putting you guys in the next one, so don't miss out again.

I hope you like the outfits!

Caroline

"What's this, darling?" Kol asked from behind her causing Lizzie to jump in surprise.

"Nothing," Lizzie replied under her breath. She shot him a glare and motioned to him to stay quiet.

Not everyone knew he was here.

And the twins, along with Freya, wanted to keep it that way for now.

Kol looked over Lizzie's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at the outfit.

"Oooh, skimpy, is this what women wear nowadays?" Kol wondered with a smirk.

Lizzie rolled her eyes. "It's a cheerleading outfit," She replied, smacking his hand that was reaching for it.

"And what is this 'cheerleading' thing?" Kol asked, cocking his head, adorably.

No! Stop it, Lizzie! Focus on his question!

Lizzie thought for a moment on how to reply.

How do you explain cheerleading to someone who had been asleep - still was asleep - for around a century?

"It's a dancing group that cheers on others, it's a school thing," Lizzie tried to explain.

"Hmm," Kol hummed. His eyes were narrowed thoughtfully. "And you wear these very revealing outfits?"

"Yes," Lizzie answered with a nod. She began to take the cheer gear out of the plastic. "What women wear these days, is no longer controlled by guys."

Lizzie folded the cheer outfit, so she and her sister could put them on later.

"Fascinating, darling," Kol said as he looked at the outfit. "And you will be wearing this at a later time?"

Lizzie's eyes flickered to Kol's, which were staring at her, hopefully, and nodded.

Kol smirked as his eyes darkened.

"I look forward to it," Kol purred, licking his lips. He was very close to her now.

Lizzie felt her face heat up. She then shook her head, in an attempt to try and push out the not-so-clean thoughts that entered her head.

"Jo!" She called out, as she did her best to ignore Kol, who was staring at her with lust in his eyes.
