Chapter Seventeen
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
{Christy's Outfit}
The next morning, the courtyard has been decorated with formal decorations.
Klaus is there at the second floor railing, looking at the caterers as they prepare for the evening formal gala.
"Klaus?" says Christy, and slowly walks up beside him, and gently leans on the second floor railing. "What are you up to? Stalking the caterers?"
"Why would I compel anyone?" Klaus asks Christy.
"Because compulsion is what you're good at." Christy says.
"No." Klaus says.
Christy looks at Klaus, confused. "No what?"
"No, I'm not stringing you along." Klaus says.
"I didn't asks." Christy says.
"I know, but you've been wanting to asks me ever since you and I began a romantic relationship." Klaus says. "You will be there at the evening formal gala this evening, am I right?"
"Yeah." Christy says. "I just need to take care of some things."
"Okay." Klaus says, and kisses her forehead. "I love you."
"I love you too, Klaus." Christy says, and walks away from him.

Christy walks inside and slowly walks into an aisle, gazing at some herbs and other things that the French Quarter witches uses for their magic.
"Hey, Christy." Gia says.
"Hey, Gia. How are you?" Christy asks her.
"I'm pretty good. What are you up to?" Gia asks Christy.
"Hmm? Nothing much. Just looking at some herbs." says Christy.
"Just out of curiosity, can you make daylight rings with your sorceress magic?" Gia says.
"Of course I can." Christy says. "So, who's your plus one to the evening formal gala?"
"Elijah." Gia says.
Christy smiles. "Elijah, huh? You two have spending some time together?"
Gia smiles a little. "Yeah. He and I have been spending some time each other."
"I'm happy for you and Elijah. I really am." Christy says to Gia.

Christy slowly walks inside the decorated courtyard and looks around at the decorated tables. Beaded lights from the ceiling.
"Lovely, isn't it?" Klaus says, slowly walks up to Christy.
"Yeah. It's beautiful." Christy says, and becomes a worried.
"What's wrong?" Klaus asks her, upon noticing Christy's worried-ness.
"This evening formal gala is gonna be drama. And I'm not even sure if I wanna be here at the formal gala or not." says Christy.
"You're having second thoughts about the formal gala?" Klaus says.
"I'm not having second thoughts, Klaus, I'm just worried." Christy says.
"Dance with me." Klaus says, and offers Christy his hand.
Christy gently takes his hand, and smiles softly at him. "What are you up to, Klaus?"
Klaus smirks and gently pulls her close to him. And twirls her around and gently pulls her back to him.
"Open your mind to me, Christy." Klaus says to her with a soften look.
"Okay." Christy says.
Klaus and Christy exchange smiles at each other as they starts to waltz around together in a circle. Christy opens her mind to Klaus as he conjures up an illusion of them at the evening formal gala.
Klaus's Mind Illusion
An beige illusion of the evening formal gala is in the decorated courtyard, the party guests, male and female, are wearing their formal dresses and suits, and is doing a waltz, Klaus, wearing a formal suit and tie, and Christy, wearing her spaghetti strap lavender dress, and with her hair in a messy bun hairstyle, are slowly waltzing around. Klaus twirls Christy around and pulls back to him. Klaus and Christy proceeds to waltz around together.
And upon coming out of the beige illusion, Klaus and Christy waltzes around and stops. He twirls her around and gently pulls her back to him.
Klaus gently wraps his arms around her waist. She gently cups his face with her hands.
"Are you a bit worried about this evening gala?" Klaus asks Christy.
"Not that much, nope." Christy says.
Klaus and Christy exchange soften looks at each other. And they kiss each other, affectionately.

That evening at the formal gala...
{Christy's Outfit}
In the decorated courtyard, the party guests are dressed up in their formal dresses and suits, chatting with each other. Caterers with glasses of champagne and hors d'oeuvres.
Sophie slowly walks over to a decorated table, wearing a strap bandage dress with two glasses of champagne.
"Hey, Christy." Sophie says, and hands her a glass of champagne. "For you."
"Thanks." Christy says, gently takes a champagne and takes a swig of if. And glances at her best friend, Sophie's dress. "You look absolutely gorgeous, Soph."
"And you look absolutely gorgeous yourself, Christy." Sophie says.
Sophie and Christy exchange playfully chuckles with each other.
"You know, it's a bit strange, you and I didn't quite get along with each other, and now, we're besties." Sophie says. "We're like sisters."
Christy smiles at Sophie. "I don't ever want to replace your older sister, Jane-Anne Devereaux, but I'm also glad that you and me are besties, love you, Sophie."
"Love you too, Christy." Sophie says.
Christy and Sophie exchange smiles at each other.
"Hey, you two." Marcel says, slowly walks up to them. "You two beautiful ladies looks incredibly stunning."
"Aww, thank you, Marcel. You look absolutely handsome yourself." Christy says, and glances at Davina. "Excuse me, I'll see you around."
At the Mikaelson Compound entrance, Davina is leaning sideways on a wall. Spaced out.
"Hey, cutie." Oliver says, and slowly walks up to her. "You seem like you're alone, you should be having some fun, you know, enjoying yourself, dancing a little."
Davina chuckles. "Yeah. Maybe."
"So, what's your name?" Oliver asks Davina.
Monique slowly walks up to Oliver. "Monique." Oliver looks at her. "My name's Monique."
"Actually, Oliver . . . ." Christy says, and slowly walks up to them. "Davina would love to dance with you."
Oliver looks at Davina and offers her his hand. Davina gently takes his hand and they walks away.
Monique looks at Christy, annoyed. "You're a complete bitch."
"Aren't you a bit young to use bad language, Monique Devereaux?" Christy says.
Christy and Monique exchange intense looks at each other. Monique walks away from her.
Klaus slowly walks up to Christy. "You're wearing the dress I gifted you, and you look absolutely beautiful."
"Thank you." Christy says. "And you're handsome yourself."
"May I have a dance, Little Sorceress?" Klaus asks Christy.
"Sure." Christy says.
Klaus and Christy exchange smiles at each other. He gently walks them onto the dance floor. And they slow dance together.
"I'm really happy that you're here." Klaus says to me. "Actually, I'm happy that you're here in my complicated damaged life."
"Klaus, we can talk about this afterwards, okay?" Christy says to him.
"I know, but despite my intentions of wanting you as a weapon, I was wrong. I was power-hungry, and did not care about anything or anyone, until I met you." Klaus says.
Klaus and Christy slowly stops slow dancing and exchange looks at each other.
"Klaus?" Christy says, pondering about what's he saying. "What are you saying?"
Klaus pulls out an engagement ring from inside his suit jacket. Christy looks at it in awe.
Klaus gets down on one knee, causing the party guests to look at them.
"I'll be dammed." Marcel says, surprisingly, to Diego and Thierry. "Klaus Mikaelson proposing."
"Klaus? What are you doing?" Christy asks him.
"Christiana Nelson? Will you marry me?" Klaus asks her.
Christy looks at Klaus, astonished at his marriage proposal. "Klaus? You don't have to do this. And besides, everyone's looking at us."
"I don't care." Klaus says with a sly smirk. "So, Christy? Will you marry me?"
Christy smiles. "Yes, I'll marry you, Klaus."
Klaus slides the engagement ring on Christy's left hand ring finger. He gets up to his feet. He and Christy kisses each other, affectionately. And everyone applauds happily.
⚜️⚜️
Later on that evening, Sophie and Christy are at the minibar, admiring Christy's engagement ring.
"Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful. I'm really happy for you and Klaus." says Sophie with a smile.
"Yeah. I didn't think that Klaus was gonna propose marriage, I didn't he was ready or wanted to get married." Christy says.
"You make him happy, Christy." Sophie says. "But I'll see you around, okay?"
"You too." Christy says.
Sophie walks away. And Genevieve slowly walks up to Christy.
"Congratulations on your engagement to Klaus." says Genevieve. "I didn't think Klaus Mikaelson had it in him to even propose marriage."
Christy looks at Genevieve. "Get over yourself, Genevieve."
"Klaus wants what Klaus wants. He doesn't give a damn about who he has to harm or threaten to get what he wants. You're nothing to him, but some woman he can sleep around with." Genevieve says, with jealousy.
"You say that because he slept with you, but you really wanted a grimoire from him." Christy says.
"Too sad that your parents aren't here." Genevieve says.
Christy looks at Genevieve, and slaps her, causing some attention from some party guests.
"You keep my parents out of your mouth, Genevieve." Christy says.
"Christy?" Klaus says, and slowly walks up to her and Genevieve. He looks at Genevieve. "Genevieve."
"You're making a mistake marrying Klaus." Genevieve says, and walks away.
Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.
After awhile, the party guests have began to waltz around. And in the midst, is Klaus and Christy, slowly waltzing around together. He twirls her around and gently pulls her to him, and they proceed to waltz around. Enjoying their evening party.
