Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know this is my first fan fiction so I'm totally new to this. I just wanted to try writing a story for once so I'd have at least one, so here it is. Sorry in advance if this is a bit OOC and my comma useage is wrong, I use waaay too many. (Probably) So please let me know what you think and review this first chapter so I know how I did. Thanks :)

Chapter 1 Strange Meetings

Caroline sat at the bar in Mystic Grill dejectedly tilting the ice of her drink around in her cup thinking of all the things that had happened in the past two years. The whole thing with Esther trying to kill her children and "restore balance to the world" plus all that other witchy-woo crap, and of course how Elena got dragged into the middle of it like she always does. Not to mention all of that hybrid sire bond stuff that is most likely the reason she is sitting at this bar in the first place.

Yes, she had finally admitted to herself that the whole Tyler going off to the Appalachian Mountains to get rid of his sire bond to Klaus was making her go off the edge. She had missed him, but then he had returned to Mystic Falls with that fricking werewolf girl, Hayley, who he had claimed was just a friend. Yeah right, like Caroline even believed that for a second. She has seen the way she looks at him; at least if Tyler is trying to sell the whole she's just a friend story she should at least have the decency to hide her feelings for him. "Whatever," she thought to herself, " I don't need that kind of guy in my life anyway, I have enough drama to deal with already. " She pushed herself back into reality, somehow her drink had been refilled,... again. How many drinks had she already had that night? She had lost count, but by the way her head felt she knew it was enough even for a vampire like herself to feel its effects. Technically she was still underage and was too young to be sitting at a bar ordering drinks, but hey, she's a vampire afterall, and will technically be frozen at the age she is now, forever. It hadn't really taken much to compell the bartender to forget how young she looks and keep the drinks coming.

She realized how late it was and got up to leave, but as soon as her feet hit the floor she stumbled and cursed under her breath. "Wow" she thought to herself, "I really did have way too much to drink tonight." She finally managed to walk out of the grill without falling flat on her face; she reached into her purse to grab her car keys, but immediately stopped when she heard an all to familiar voice call out her name. She turned and groaned when she realized she had not mistaken the owner of the voice for someone else in her drunken state. "Love, I don't think that's a good idea." the none too unfamilar Brittish accent called out. Klaus?! Where the hell did he come from? Little did she know that he had been sitting across the bar from her, just out of her sight, watching her almost the whole night. Before Caroline could turn her back on him and resume digging through her purse for for her keys, he used his vampire speed to snatch her purse out of her hand and grabbed the keys out. He then proceeded to wave them triumphantly, just out of her reach. She rolled her eyes at him, he just gave her his signature sneer,

"Guess I'll just have to take you home then, huh." He said as he started waking toward her silver Prius.

Caroline knew she didn't have much of a choice but to follow considering she really wasn't in the condition to be driving, and didn't have the will to argue with him. She opened the passenger door and sighed, she should really stop putting herself in these situations. When they arrived at her house she opened the car door and mumbled that he could use her car to get home and just get it back to her tomorrow. Caroline then walked up to her front door and quietly unlocked the door not wanting to wake her mom.

The next morning Caroline woke up with a pounding headache. She tried recalling what had happened last night and suddenly she thought to herself, that was so stupid of her, why hadn't she realized that she'd was too drunk to drive? She opened the door of her bedroom still wearing what she had somehow managed to change into before falling onto her bed the night before. She was wearing a light blue cami with short black pajama shorts when she walked into her living room. Caroline looked up and let out a sharp, surprised squeak.

"Klaus?! What the hell are you doing here?" she questioned

He was lounged quite comfortably across one of her living room couches with his feet rested across one of its arms.

"Well love, you told me to return your car to you today, so here I am." he said with his signature Klaus smile.

She stared daggers at him and glanced over at her oven's clock, it said 7:30.

"Not at 7:30 in the morning." she spat.

She walked over to her kitchen cabinet and took out a glass for water and fished out tylenol for her headache. She filled up the glass with water and swallowed the small pill. She then went and opened up her pantry looking for something to eat. When she scanned its contents and realized that there was literally nothing she could eat for breakfast she sighed.

"Well, considering I'm starving, I'm going to go to Starbucks to get a non-alcoholic drink and something to eat, and when I leave you need to be out of my house."

She then proceeded to walk across the room and slap his feet off her sofa. She turned her back on him and went into her room to change into some regular clothes, when she came back out of her room Klaus was still sitting there on her couch. When she glanced up and noticed him she let out a hiss of annoyance.

"I thought I told I told you to to leave?" she said with a glare in his direction.

"Actually love, I believe you told me to be out of the house when you leave, you haven't left yet."

Caroline sighed, and went to grab her wallet and house keys. Starbucks was only a few blocks away from her house so she didn't need to drive. She then walked to her front door and looked expectantly at Klaus. Klaus caught her look, but made sure to take his sweet time getting to the door. They stepped out of Caroline's house and walked down the steps together. Klaus paused to toss Caroline her car keys then made a move to leave. A hint of disappointment flashed through her at the thought that he wasn't going to come. She silently scolded herself for this thought, but before she could stop herself she said

"Umm, Klaus, uh, would you like to come with me?"

Caroline started mentally kicking herself. Why did I have to ask that?

Klaus smiled at this and replied "Of course darling, I would love to accompany you for coffee."

He was genuinely surprised that she would ask that considering his history of terrorizing her friends. He was jolted from his thoughts by Caroline impatiently calling his name. He walked over to where she was waiting for him.

They started walking to Starbucks side by side with their shoulders just barely touching as they walked.
