The Baudelaires (Unedited)

chapter thirty two

Violet walked inside with Sunny, Klaus took his glasses off and started wiping the steam off, I put mine back on trying to act natural.
"What's happening with you two?" Violet asked, grinning.
"They need a room." Sunny mumbled.
I giggled, "no."
"Maybe." Klaus corrected me.
I laughed at Klaus, "oh?"
"Maybe we do."
"Klaus."
"Klaus." Violet agreed.
"What? Im being honest."
"You're being public." I smiled.
"Too public?"
"Maybe so."
"Charlotte, help me." Violet was attempting to reach the light from the table.
I got up and lifted her toward the light.
She got the new lampshade on "thanks."
I got off the table, Klaus grabbed me and pulled me into a bear hugged, making us go around in a circle once.
Sunny climbed on to Violet's back and started chewing on the lampshade, making a pattern.
Quigley walked in and Klaus let me go. He said, "must've stumbled on to something."
"Indeed, welcome to the party." Violet laughed.
"Klaus, can I talk to you and Violet?" Quigley asked.
"Yeah, sure." They answered and walked outside with him, leaving me and Sunny on our own.
I sat next to Sunny on the table, "what do you think they're talking about?"
"Funny." She answered.
"Funny?"
She nodded.
"What is funny, Sunny? The fact that they're actually talking or what they're talking about?"
"The second one."
"Oh."
"Party."
"Oh god, they're not."
Sunny nodded, "Violet say."
"God..I told them not to...well just Klaus.."
"He tell Violet."
I sighed and hugged Sunny and let go after a few seconds.
Klaus and Violet walked back inside.
Klaus sighed and smiled at me, "it's about time we all go to bed, hm?"
"What is the time?" I asked.
"About eleven o'clock at night."
"I didn't realise that."
"Neither did I until Hookey told me. He said we all looked a bit tired."
"Oh right." I got up from the table.
"I'm staying up until I've finished this light with Sunny." Violet said and Sunny nodded.
"Quigley will be in here helping, Violet, have fun." Klaus teased.
"Not like you two are alone." She teased back.
I laughed a little, "see you in the morning."
"See you, Charlotte." Violet smiled and retied her hair.

Quigley was talking with Fiona, I waved him goodnight and walked after Klaus into the bedroom.
I sat on my bed, turning on the light beside me and lying down, trying to relax.
Klaus sat next to me, so it was even harder trying to relax and calm down.
"Am I distracting you from sleep?" He asked.
I turned on to my side, facing him, "no, of course not."
"It's only because you're going red whenever I accidentally touch you."
"Accidentally?"
"Indeed."
"It's not bothering me."
"Sure."
"Klaus."
"What?"
"You're not bothering me in any way."
He smiled, "suddenly, you're persistent again. Am I no longer the exception?"
"Of course you are, I'm not even being persistent I'm just annoying you."
"No."
"Mhm.."
"Trust me, won't you?"
"Yes. Why won't you trust me on the fact that I'm not bothered at all?"
"I do."
I laughed and changed the subject, "you're organising a party, hm?"
"Now, who told you anything about that?"
"Sunny."
"I should never tell people things in front of her."
"She's a good kid for telling me."
"Are you going to stop it?"
"Probably not."
"And why's that?"
"Because I shouldn't get involved in your plans."
"They're not just my plans."
"I know."
"Quigley is actually putting it together mostly."
"Should I be afraid?"
"No."
"Why?"
"It's not going to be big."
"Big?"
"It's just us."
"Oh okay."
"Don't worry."
"Sorry, I don't like my birthday."
"At least you're birthday isn't in a jail cell."
"You had yours in a jail cell?"
"Yeah, in the Village of Foul Devotees. They kept us in there until we were to be burned at the stake. We got out before they could burn us."
"Luckily. It actually sounds pretty cool."
"We yelled happy birthday as we broke the wall."
"I wish I was there."
"You were."
