Halloween was one of Caroline’s favorite holidays. Mostly because of the costumes. Caroline absolutely loved dressing up in costumes. She had already picked out one for her and Tyler. Of course they were going to do a couple’s costume. And Tyler was smart enough to know to just go with it. One of the many reasons she loved him.
But today was all about Elena. She couldn’t wait to help her best friend pick out the perfect costume. “What were you thinking?” Caroline asked as they entered the store. “Something slutty?” she teased with a raised brow. She had a feeling the answer to that was no.
Elena gave her friend a look at that. Because she had a feeling Caroline already knew the answer to that. And, though she wouldn’t say as much, she also doubted she wanted to see Elena slutting it up for an old boyfriend.
“I can do something slightly sexy?” She suggested. “Not overtly slutty, though. Maybe a nurse?” Or was that too boring?
Sexy nurse was on the right track. But not quite right. “The whole point of Halloween is you can be anything you want to be. Something you wouldn’t be any other day of the year. Nurse is too close to doctor,” Caroline pointed out. Although if they was truly what Elena wanted to be Caroline wouldn’t fight her on it.
“What about something different? Like a sexy pirate or Cleopatra?”
It wasn’t that Elena necessarily wanted to be a nurse for Halloween. She just didn’t seem to have any creativity when it came to thinking up costumes. “Not a pirate. If sexy nurse is cliche, I’m sure sexy pirate is, too.” Or medieval wench or sexy cop…
“What are you going as?”
Okay no pirates. Caroline would have to think of something else. Hopefully something would speak to her as she searched the store. “Eve,” Caroline replied answering Elena’s question. “Tyler is going to be Adam.”
Eyebrows rose at that. “Fig leaves and all,” she questioned. Somehow she was surprised Tyler had agreed to that. “That’s a really good couples costume.” And clearly Elena would have to step up her game. “What about a flapper?” She held up a costume for Caroline’s inspection.
“Fig leaves is the whole costume,” Caroline replied with a grin. There was no ‘and all’ just the laves. And of course Caroline was making it herself. All she could find in a store was a flesh colored onesie. No thank you. She’d rather show her actual skin, and so would her boyfriend.
“Oh a flapper could be cute” Caroline agreed as she looked at the costume Elena was holding up. “Go try it on!”
Elena could only grin, shaking her head slightly. Of course it would be something similar to a bikini, she hoped, but Caroline was quite daring.
“I’m kinda surprised you got Tyler to agree,” she teased, taking the costume into the dressing room and closing the curtain. A moment later she stepped out, twirling for her friend.
“What do you think? Do I look the bee’s knees?”
It wasn’t really that hard to convince her boyfriend to go along with it. Tyler was just as daring when it came to Halloween costumes as she was. Besides, he knew better than to argue with her once her mind was made up anyway.
While Elena changed Caroline browsed some other costumes until she heard her friend come back out. Looking amazing of course. “Oh, you so do. All the boys are going to swoon.”
There was really only one boy that Elena wanted to make swoon but she had sense enough not to say it to Caroline. “Then I think I have my outfit. I just need some accessories...the t-strap shoes, some pearls…”. It was easier than she’d thought it would be.
“Accessories are my specialty,” Caroline grinned. Well anything to do with shopping really. “You’re going to look amazing.” Not that she didn’t always.
“I think you’ll probably steal the spotlight,” Elena teases. “Let me go change and then we can accessorize.” And get ready for a wonderful Halloween.
