Second Chances

Dangerous Liaisons

Vicki's POV

I wake up with a smile on my face. I open my eyes only to close them again because of the brightness of the room.

I bury my face into my pillow. Wait, this isn't my pillow?

I lift my head up and open my eyes. I'm met with the panty dropping smile of my soulmate. I blush as he looks down at me.

"Good morning, Darling." I instantly become wet at his morning voice.

I turn my head into his chest to hide my blush and he chuckles. "I don't remember you being so shy when we had our chats."

"That was different."

I sit up and stretch before yawning. I glance at my wrist, only noticing now the mark displayed on it. I look and the same mark is on Kol's wrist too.

Our bedroom door gets thrown open. "Tori, we need to go shopping for gowns. Mother wants to throw a ball."

"Really, Bekah? Now?"

She crosses her arms and pouts. "Yes now!" She glances at Kol. "Ew, Kol. Go put a shirt on."

He rolls his eyes and leans against the headboard. "This is our room, you're the one who barged in unannounced."

"Yeah, whatever." She says offhandedly. "Are you coming or not?"

I sigh and step out of bed. As soon as I do, she speeds over and starts dragging me to the closet. I look at Kol with wide eyes and I mouth "save me".

He chuckles and rolls over to continue sleeping.

After I get ready, Bekah takes me to a local dress shop where we each pick out gowns. Hers of course is the green dress. I went with a simple pink dress.
