[misssophiachase]

For the klaroline song dabbles could you do Taylor Swift 'I Forgot That You Existed' I just picture them both getting over their past traumas just by being together

Thanks nonnie! Great idea. I love this song (and the rest of the album). Hope you like where it went, blame the fact I just watched Blue Crush again.

He’s chasing his wayward brother across the globe to take his mind off things and she’s trying to keep a low profile after a messy break-up until their paths unexpectedly cross.

I Forgot That You Existed

Oahu, HI 

I forgot that you existed

No, she really did forget. The only thing she did remember was when it happened. 

It was Sunday July 26th at 1:33pm. A stunning 93 degrees on the North Shore according to the weather report, the sound of waves from nearby Waimea Bay her backing soundtrack and a delicious serving of fish tacos courtesy of the guy seated across the table.

The guy that looked completely out of place in his designer threads at a food truck who seemed to be studying the meal in front of him carefully.

“It’s a taco, you eat it with your hands no cutlery necessary,” she instructed, picking it up and taking a sizeable bite. “See?” 

“And here I thought it was a projectile I could throw at my wayward younger brother,” he muttered sarcastically. “And I do know what a taco is Ms Forbes.”

“Well, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a first if you did throw it at him,” she offered, looking over to said brother who was attempting to charm a few local beachgoers and wolfing down his own tacos without caring much about spillage. 

Caroline wasn’t quite sure what to think about her current predicament, she’d woken early to surf then headed to Waimea for her usual lessons.

What she wasn’t expecting was a twenty-something, English tourist, albeit cute, dressed in a gaudy Hawaiian shirt. He’d called her darling about twenty times before she’d even taught him how to stand up beachside on his board. 

Once she eased him into the water (probably against her better judgment), he decided no more training was required and proceeded to anger neighboring surfers (either by heckling, cutting them off or trying to chat them up) and broken her board in half during a particularly bad break. 

It was only when they returned to the beach and happened upon another equally out of place observer. Unlike her Hawaiian shirt-wearing student, this guy was practically glowing in the sunlight. Dirty, blonde curls, crimson lips, and dimples which were so distracting Caroline didn’t even notice just how much his jeans, loafers and button-down shirt were screaming preppy chic in the completely wrong setting. 

He removed his aviators, those blue eyes taking their time to not only inspect her companion but her also. Caroline almost felt self-conscious the way those intense orbs were traveling the expanse of her bikini-clad body. She shivered inwardly annoyed that some cocky stranger had that effect.

“Who tipped you off this time, Niklaus?” Her troublemaker to the left whined. Obviously, they knew each other but in other news his name was Niklaus? Caroline wasn’t quite sure how to process this information.

“Lucy.”

“Seriously? The maid ratted me out?” 

“I think she was more disturbed by your request for Hawaiian shirts, Kol,” he murmured, his eyebrows rising briefly in judgment.

“I was trying to blend in so as to avoid detection.”

“As much as you like to think you’re stealth, well you’re not.”

“Is that according to the older brother or detective in you?”

“Both,” he shrugged. Caroline meanwhile was watching this whole scene unfold with great interest. She’d been teaching surfing for about six months now but never experienced anything like this. “You need to come home, Kol.”

“And what if I don’t want to?” He growled. “What if I’ve found the love of my life here in Hawaii.” Before she knew it, he’d placed his arm across her back and pulled Caroline closer.

“The love of your life? Well, then I’d really love to know the name of the amazing woman who’s tamed my little brother.”

“I’ve done no such thing,” Caroline blurted out, feeling completely lost. The fact this idiot broke her board was one thing but then he’d brought her into his story which wasn’t on. “He’s not my type at all.”

“Hey, I’m everyone’s type.”

“Wow,” Caroline whistled. “I really hope you don’t use that line when trying to pick up women.”

“Too late,” the cute looking guy murmured, a slight smile tugging at those crimson lips.

“You are such a wet blanket, Niklaus, always trying to ruin any semblance of fun. Don’t forget that if you hadn’t bloody well abdicated the throne I’d be able to travel the world without a babysitter and have fun with whomever I like,” he pouted, his brown eyes wandering back to Caroline.

Abdicated a throne? Were these two royalty or had she entered the twilight zone?

“Oh come on, buddy,” she huffed. “Still not in the slightest bit interested.” Caroline couldn’t miss the stray dimple his brother flashed in response. “I’m not here for whatever weird family drama this is, I have to go and source another board since his royal pain in the ass broke mine.”

“Now that is a catchy nickname,” Niklaus smirked. “But please let me buy you another, it’s the least I can do.”

“I’ll sort it out,” she mumbled, slightly overwhelmed under his gaze. “However, I am starving so if you want to buy a girl some lunch I might be able to forgive the debt.”

“Yes! Let’s get some lunch,” Kol agreed. “Great idea, darling.”

“I’ll promise I’ll make him sit at another table,” his brother promised. 

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

“So, Niklaus, what’s that all about?”

“What’s that about? It’s my name last time I checked.”

“Well, Niklaus seems like someone who’ll show up to the beach fully clothed on a hot day, visibly annoyed even with the gorgeous scenery and look down unfavourably upon perfectly good tacos. But then there’s this whole other person that has flown across the globe to rescue his younger brother for whatever reason, not just from a hideous Hawaiian shirt, and even settle his debts with buying a girl some lunch.”

“Well, if I’m honest that person is actually named Klaus,” he smiled knowingly. “Unfortunately, my family is yet to fully accept him because they can’t seem to shorten my name like I’ve insisted upon for years.”

“We do it to annoy you,” Kol offered. Even from his place a few tables over he still had exceptional hearing to interrupt.

“Story of my life,” he shrugged. “And I’m not one to let false statements stand Ms Forbes, I happen to love tacos.” With that he picked it up and took a bite, Caroline trying to ignore just how good he looked doing it.    

“I’m pretty sure Klaus would call me Caroline; you know just saying.”

“So, what exactly are you doing here, Caroline?” He grinned as he said it and she was trying to focus given how good it sounded rolling off his tongue. “Well, besides having to put up with my brother?”

“I’m a surf instructor,” she murmured, feeling her answer was woefully inept given his response but not wanting to elaborate further. 

“That I got,” he nodded. “So, are you from these parts originally?”

“I think your charge has done a runner,” she gestured to the back of his Hawaiian shirt billowing in the breeze, glad to have a much needed distraction. 

“Bloody hell,” he growled. “I’m too old for this.”

“He’s headed towards the camping ground, I have a friend who works there and can keep him occupied,” Caroline explained, pulling out her phone and texting, deciding that Katherine would be the perfect choice. The perfect amount of luring him in with her feminine wiles and then scaring the hell out of him. 

“I really should go myself,” he said, standing up and stretching, Caroline not missing the brief flash of skin between his jeans and shirt. “But thank you for everything, Caroline.”

“You’re welcome,” she mumbled, wishing for some reason it didn’t end here. She’d spent the last six months not seeking attention but for some reason Klaus had made her crave it again.

Her phone beeped signalling a new text message from Katherine. It was a picture of a happily looking Kol surrounded by multiple bikini-clad campers. “Pretty sure he’s settling in for the night.” 

“As I understand it your brother is happily occupied,” she shared the picture noting Klaus’ disapproval followed by something resembling relief. “The camp site has a bonfire at sunset, you could collect him then.”

“Is that where you Americans decide crackers, marshmallow and chocolate make a good snack?”

“You are not dissing s’mores,” she objected. “You can’t judge until you try one.”

“But what do we do until then?” He asked, his lips curving into a smile. 

“We could surf?”

“Well, I’m not sure...”

“Afraid?”

“Oh you did not just do that,” he growled, he was pretending to be angry but she could sense his excitement. “And what am I supposed to wear?”

“I’ll help you out,” she offered, cocking her left eyebrow and trying not to imagine just how good his physique would look in much less clothing. “Just don’t break my spare board or I will sue.”

“Yes, ma’am,” he saluted teasingly. 

And it was so nice

What Caroline wasn’t expecting was for him to be so natural on a board and in the water, a far cry from his brother’s efforts. They laughed, mainly when he fell without notice and she refused to relinquish her board to save him. She told him tough love was much better if he had to fight off a killer wave or shark without assistance.

It was about 5pm, they’d been riding waves for a few hours their limbs sore and sunset was edging that bit closer. Klaus and Caroline lay on their respective boards in the water. The big waves had long disapated and it was now just a gentle nudge. 

“I’m jealous,” he murmured, his hands running through the water lazily. 

“Of what exactly?” 

“That this is your home, you get to watch this brilliant sunset every day.” Caroline knew that wasn’t altogether true and for some reason felt more relaxed than usual. 

“It’s not my home originally,” she admitted quietly. “I ran away a year ago from my past because my ex wasn’t the most loving or respectful of people. I guess I kind of feel like a fraud pretending I belong here.”

“If it helps, so do I most days. My parents are disappointed in my life choices and my girlfriend cheated on me because I wanted to be someone else with much less money.”

“So, they were all upset you abdicated the throne in Genovia?”

“Geography wasn’t my forte at school I’ll admit but pretty sure you just made up a country, love.”

“Obviously you’ve never seen The Princess Diaries,” she opined, not missing his confusion. “Please tell me Kol isn’t actually taking over a real country because I’m worried for its citizens wellbeing.” 

“Thankfully, no. My father owns British Airways which we do liken to another country,” he explained. “I never cared for the family business even with all the trappings. I’d worked hard at the police academy and wanted to work my way up through the ranks without family assistance.”

“And it didn’t go down so well?”

“My father practically disowned me and appointed Kol CEO-in-waiting which totally threw him over the edge into Hawaiian shirt land. I don’t regret my decision but feel so guilty that I’ve scared Kol into a role he’s not ready for yet.”

“Hence your unexpected appearance on my beach,” she uttered. “I’m pretty sure he appreciates your effort.”

“Because he’s been so happy to see me.”

“I think it just might take a little more time, let him just relax for a while,” she suggested. “How about we head over to the campsite and I show you just how good s’mores can be?”

“I’ll entertain your theory for my brother’s sake,” he shot back. “But I have to admit it’s extremely difficult to leave the water.”

“I know what you mean, it’s....” 

So peaceful and quiet

58. four talents you’re proud of having? -I don’t really consider myself as someone with any talent, let alone four, but... A mathematician once taught me how to divide any number by five in my head, I’m pretty good at mimicking certain accents, idk of this counts as a talent but I can drink quite a bit before I actually feel anything, I can recite certain movies down to what song will play during certain scenes, and I would consider myself the ultimate Disneyland tour guide. That’s five but it’s all I can think of so if one doesn’t sound like one, we have an extra.

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be? -I know nothing about anime so I wouldn’t even know. I would want to make a joke about being in the ones that are essentially pornos but I’m probably wrong with that too.

84. podcasts or talk radio? -Podcasts

84. barbie or polly pocket? -My childhood nickname is Barbie (my middle name is Barbara) so I only played with Barbies even though I only dressed them because I liked their clothes and then then threw them to the side to play other games.

okay, so i’ve been meaning to do this for a while because i’ve had a bunch of new muses that i want to put out there. so under the cut is some information about a variety of new and new-ish, some returning and some that just don’t have much, muses that i’ve got. give it a quick read, and then give this post a like if you’d wish to have a starter from them! (i’ll come to you about which muse).

tenley harding. 23. aspiring screenwriter, personal assistant. los angeles. barbara palvin.

so tenley is my precious little bean, she’s such a sweetheart. she loves soft things, she loves to write, her favorite place in the entire world griffith park because there’s this little spot she always goes to sit to write. she’s a stationery fanatic from hell, she spends way too much money on it (she gets it from me, sorry). but honestly she’s just an unintentionally reclusive sort of person--she’s not shy by any means, but she always ends up by herself, which she’s not entirely against. super friendly little bean. tenley is currently working as a personal assistant (where is dependent on verse or plot) while she’s trying to make it with her screenwriting. super friendly, but sometimes comes off as flakey because of her inevitable, unintentional habit to be reclusive. pansexual, biromantic.

dahlia taylor. 27. travel photographer and journalist. from melbourne, australia, but her present location is always changing. margot robbie. 

tbh she is the most relaxed, most laid back, most chill of the chill people you will ever meet. dahlia has basically been travelling ever since she finished high school, never really feeling like australia was the place she was supposed to be even though she’ll never call anywhere else home. she’s always had this sense of adventure--kind of made her the most problematic child in the entire world because she’d always go wandering off. dahlia picked up photography when she was about twelve or thirteen, and when she decided to leave home, it seemed like the best thing to do. she’s very used to roughing it on her travels, camping frequently unless she knows someone or meets someone willing to put her up wherever she is. heterosexual, heteroromantic.

isa laghari. 30. ceo. new york city. priyanka chopra.

honestly the most ruthless and heartless human being ever. she just cares about getting the job done, rarely has a personal life other than the occasional active efforts to get some sex in to blow off some steam. she honestly spends more time shopping and going to couture shows than she does having genuine human interaction tbh. also an avid workaholic, and don’t expect her to apologize for it. i mean she HAS a heart but good luck finding it y’all. heterosexual, heteroromantic.

valentia benitez. 18. college freshmen. washington d.c. madison beer.

okay so her dad was previously the head of the fbi and as well as an analyst for the cia, and now he serves as secretary of state. she was born in new york while her feather was at the fbi there, but has lived in washington since she was about seven or eight years old. val is very much a little preppy baby, and she’s a-ok with that. she lives of ralph lauren and tommy hilfiger, and spending summers up at the hamptons and out on yachts. but my little angel is studying sociology and political science because, while she’ll never admit it, there’s a lot about how her father conducts himself and his politics that she doesn’t agree with. she’s very used to being the perfect daughter, daddy’s little princess, that she’s still very very far from finding out who the hell she is all on her own. bisexual, heteroromantic. 

rylee agrona. 26. underground boxer, fitness trainer, bartender, single mother. new york city. elizabeth olsen.

so she’s my tough lil cookie, she literally will kick yo damn ass if you even look at her the wrong way so #havefun. literally takes no shit from no one; has no tolerance for men who don’t have their shit together or can’t handle her. her daughter is three years old, basically had her with some guy that basically didn’t have his shit together or was able to handle her, so... she’s not even sure where he is now. but rylee literally kicks ass on the weekends to make money to spoil her daughter and everything. she’s always been the tomboy??? type and honestly the thing she gets the most amusement from is guys hitting on her at the bar she’s working and basically like throwing them out herself #suchfun. bisexual, biromantic.

javier vargas. 35. physical therapist. chicago. oscar isaac.

my lil dad bean he’S MY ONLY??? DAD muse oh my ok so he’s got two kids (his eldest is his daughter who is about seven or eight, and his son is around four)--his marital status is verse dependent, so like yea those kids can be your female’s or whatever, just let me know what’s happening, but his kids are non-negotiable. his kids are his whole world. he works as a physical therapist so he’s like pretty well off for money. even before his kids, javi has always been the type that tries to take care of those close to him. he’s like the reliable friend. but do not??? take him for a pushover, this bitch gets pissy when shit not looking up tbh. he sounds cliche i’m sorry pls love him. heterosexual, heteroromantic.

rhett cohen. 33. pediatric surgeon. denver. taylor kinney. 

ok precious bean he’s so good with kids, he’s such a lil smarty pants, so he became a pediatric surgeon. he can be a bit??? of a hardass, he’s very good at remaining professional when he needs to be, but he’s also the cutest lil softy with the biggest heart. he actually comes from new york where he grew up among the bratty upper east side, and after his little sister died, it kind of drove him to do what he can to save??? lives. he moved away from his gross ass robotic parents to denver, and he always spends christmas over in other parts of the world doing charity work because he’s?? i don’t wanna call him the do-good type but he’s very much in line with the idea that he should use his many privileges to do more than just spend too much money on houses and clothes and penthouses and stupid decor. heterosexual, heteroromantic.

paxton miller. 21. MIT student, part time software designer. boston. jack gilinsky.

y’all he’s my lil itty bitty nerd. he’s literally glued to his computer all day long. he’s been into computer since he was about nine, could build one on his own easily, and is intending to work in engineering on a much more....space-related level. he’s my precious babe that knows way too much about all things science, HATES geology (don’t ask) and ya. he’s not overly experienced in the world of romance, but my lil babe loves hanging out with his friends so pls don’t mistake him from one of the incompetent geeks of the big bang theory thnks. bisexual, biromantic.
