THE SECRET CHILD
Following their breakup, three years earlier, Caroline never tried to see Klaus Mickaelson again . Not even to tell him that she was pregnant of him. What good, because Klaus had made her understand, in the worst possible way , that she will never be good enough for him ? So she is shocked when she learns that she will be forced to work with him. How could her see every day this man that, she now hates with all her heart ? And especially how to hide from him the existence of his son?
Prologue
If his brothers Elijah, Finn and Kol saw him, he would hear about until the end of time, thought Klaus. But the young woman sitting next to him was worth it.
Caroline Forbes, Care for friends, was slumped in her chair, feet perched on the seat in front of her, a bucket of popcorn wedged between her knees.
« I don't understand how can you eat that » , he said.
She looked at him.
« And I don't understand how you can even not taste it. The Crest does the best popcorn of all Los Angeles. It's the true popcorn handmade. »
To illustrate her point of view, she shoved another handful in her mouth then closed her eyes visibly ecstatic. He felt his pulse panicking.
Caroline was pretty without being beautiful. Or maybe beautiful without pretty, he had never been able to say it with certainty. She had big blue eyes , slightly in almond, with thin lips. She was neither brown, nor extraordinarily beautiful, nor stupid. In short, she wasn't his type at all , perhaps this explained why he wanted her so much.
Whatever the cause, his attraction for her was quite unexpected. Caroline was the goddaughter of his grandmother Freya. They had practically grown up together. Yet, when he ran into her last month at the Valentine's Day party organized by Freya, he was immediately charmed. Since then,
he fought against this attraction, although Caroline seems determined to drag him in all Los Angeles to let him know all the places she found interesting.
She was a great girl. At twenty-four, she looked much younger than her age, but she was only three years younger than him. The whole Mikaelson family loved her. If he sleep with her, he would probably end up breaking her innocent little heart. And all the family would fall on him.
Giving in to an impulse - since he could not give in to the other-, he took a handful of popcorn.
« Remind me why we came here. »
« First, because it's a beautiful vintage cinema. »
He looked around the room, built in the forties and recently restored. A wonder.
« They don't build such beautiful anymore » he approved. « I think the screen of the projection room at the Mikaelson' mansion is bigger. »
« Exactly » she said smiling. « Which brings me to the point number two. You never go to cinema. »
He raised an eyebrow, but before he could protest, she added :
« I know, monsieur-my-family-has-a-studio. You see lots of movies. But you don't see them in a cinema room. Here - she made a great gesture to designate the public - you live a totally different experience from what you're used. »
He managed to look away from her beautiful animated face to observe people came to the midnight screening. A Jedi knight and a very enthusiastic Wookie were sitting two rank before them.
« And, finally, this film is the best series ever made. »
He must have seemed skeptical, as she put her hands in megaphone before whispering :
« Luke, I am your father. » Don't you find it awesome ? »
She was clearly expecting his assent. Given the complicated relationship he had with his father, one would have thought he would find comfort in the redemptive story of Luke and Darth Vader. But, in truth, he had never believed in redemption. In his experience, the poor chaps forever remain poor chaps.
Rather than express his thoughts aloud, he threw:
« Mario Puzo's The Godfather: Part II ... »
« Then, there, you're off the mark ! The Empire Strikes Back has a end suspense, and the love story between Princess Leia and Han Solo is very touching. »
He looked at her, surprised.
« Really ? I would have thought that you was rather kind When Harry met Sally. »
« Not at all » she said, waving her hand. « I much prefer the sarcastic Han Solo at the sentimental Harry. »
« Chut! » roared the Jedi knight.
Klaus ignored him and leaned closer to Caroline. The butter of popcorn was shinning her lips in the light jerky of the trailers before the movie. She brushed his shoulder when she took popcorn, and he felt a familiar warmth spark - of which Caroline seemed quite unconscious.
While he appreciated the true value of their little debate on popular culture , he wanted more from her than that. He was not a simple friend with whom she spent a good night at the cinema. He wanted her. Naked. In his bed.
« So tell me Care »
She turned away from the screen to look at him, just when the opening credits began to unfold.
« What are we doing ? »
She pointed to the screen and looked at him in surprise.
« The Empire Strikes Back, you remember ? »
« No, I mean, what are we doing together? »
She smiled, but not with her usual cheerfulness. She seemed a little sad, in reality.
« When I saw you again at the party the other day, you seemed lonely. It looked like you needed a friend. »
Maybe it was his irritation at the film's theme. Or maybe he was upset that she took him into pity. Anyway, he was tired of waiting.
He lifted her chin and put his mouth on hers. She tasted like butter, salt and, just for a moment, she remained completely still. Then she lifted to kiss him, her tongue teasing his. A heat wave traveled him, and he was immediately tense of desire.
He stepped back and stared at her.
« Caroline, I don't need a friend. »
Wide-eyed, she seemed to take a moment for understand the meaning of his words. Then she nodded and licked her lips as if she didn't want to lose a crumb of his kiss.
« Let's get out of here » he suggested.
She stood up so quickly that her popcorn bucket fell over the floor.
Four months later - just as he had predicted - he broke her heart.
