And I present to y'all a new fanfic!
Title: Serpentine
Summary: Caroline Forbes' life has spun out of control after her mother's death and her older brother's disappearance leaving behind Niklaus Mikaelson… Her big brother's best friend and the guy that she has been hopelessly and desperately in love with ever since she first saw him. Always the alpha, former Navy SEAL is trying to get the blonde back on track, but her vulnerability may just be his undoing.
"What in the hell do you think you're doing?" His accented voice boomed from behind her and she turned to him with a lopsided grin on her face. Her eyes were glazed-over and she had eyeliner running down her cheeks.
"Klaus!" She cried out as she stumbled over to him and put her arms around him in an attempt to get him closer.
Klaus pulled away from his best friend's kid sister and narrowed his eyes at her when he smelled the alcohol coming from her. His lips curled in disgust and he shook his head because he still couldn't believe how the innocent girl that he once knew turned into some person he didn't even recognize. She wore a skin-tight black dress and had red lipstick on her lips that made her look like a person he didn't recognize.
"You're drinking again." He said, the annoyance evident in his voice as he chided her with a shake of his head as he pulled down her dress.
"Ohh," she smiled as she got a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "And hell yes," she smiled. "I don't got nothing else to do anyway, so why not just drink, drink, drink!?" She asked as her voice slurred and she swayed on her feet.
Before her knees gave out, he wrapped his arms around her and she rested her head against his chest.
"You smell so so so good, oh my god." The blonde complimented as she grabbed a handful of his v-neck and sniffed him like he was the best smelling thing out there.
"Caroline, enough!" He shouted as he tried to get her to pay attention to him and not to the loud music surrounding him.
"What am I doing anyway?" She asked him as her eyes narrowed and she began pumping her free fist in the air to the beat of the house music surrounding them.
With a growl, Klaus made his way into the back alley and placed her on her feet before he pushed her into the red brick wall with a huff.
"You need to cut the crap, Caroline!" He told her as his hands clenched into fists and he placed them on either side of her head.
"Ohhhh," she smiled. "If you wanted to have your way with me, you should have just told me!" Caroline said as she got on her tippy toes and wrapped her arms around his neck before she pressed her front flush against his lean chest.
"Caroline, enough!" He yelled and she seemed to sober up because she backed away from him.
"You're either here to fuck me or to ruin my night. If it is the latter then I recommend you get the fuck out. I'm having a good time and I do not need you ruining my night!"
"Caroline, do you even see yourself right now?" Klaus asked as his voice became barely a whisper. He sighed heavily and shook his head because he felt like he was losing the innocent girl that he once knew.
Klaus understood that Caroline was under a lot of stress because within five months, she lost her mother to a drunk driver and her brother disappeared without a trace, but that did not give her the right to start acting like some party girl that she obviously wasn't.
"Yes," she cried out. "I see myself and I am okay with the way I am now! I am finally feel free after losing my mother and having my brother walk out on me even though he knew I needed him!"
"It has been five years, Caroline…" He sighed heavily as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started walking with her towards his car.
"Exactly!" She shouted as she tried to push him away from her, but he only tightened his hold on her shoulder.
"Just leave me alone," Caroline whispered, suddenly feeling exhausted.
"No," he said as held onto her even tighter than before, but still made sure that he wasn't hurting her.
"Why are you even here anymore, Klaus? Just go away! I don't want you here nor do I need you here. I am doing just fine on my own, so just get the fuck out and don't come back!"
"Are you really? Is that why your fifth boss in the past half year has fired you for your tardiness and inability to show the customers kindness?"
"Those people are not customers, Klaus. They're assholes and I will be damned if I stand idly by as they curse the shit out of me for no goddamn reason!"
"You're spiraling out of control, Caroline… I hope you understand that that is dangerous- very dangerous."
"I am not spiraling! I am simply coping in the best way that I know how."
"How is drinking yourself into a stupor the best way to cope with everything that you are feeling? I understand that you feel angry because of your mother's passing and Enzo's hasty departure, but that doesn't give you the right to act out."
"I am twenty three years old, Klaus. I think I can take care of myself just fine, thank you very much. And if I want to cope by drinking and partying then that is exactly what I will do and I am not going to allow you to put a damper on the things that I want to do!"
"You don't seem to understand why it is that I am here, Caroline. I am here because I am trying to keep you out of trouble, but you are making the task very difficult. I understand that you lost the only family you ever knew, but it is not okay to throw out of the rest of your life because you can't contain your feelings."
Caroline's eyes darkened and her lips formed into a thin line. Before Klaus could react, he felt the stinging sensation in his cheek and looked down at the blonde with his eyes wide with disbelief.
"You slapped me," he stated.
"Yeah, I did." She said before she pushed past him. As she was making her way over to the parking lot and to her car, he caught up to her and stopped her before she could make another move.
"You are not driving in the condition that you are in." He told her as he outstretched his hand and waited for her to give him the keys.
"I am perfectly fine, thank you very much. Stop acting like some mother hen and get the hell out of my life! I don't need you! How many more times am I going to have to tell you this before you leave me the hell alone?"
"I am never going to leave you alone, Caroline. When are you finally going to realize that I am not the bad guy here? I am trying to protect you from further heartbreak, but what do you do? You act out and dress like a whore when we both know that isn't who you are and then you make sure to be a pain in my ass."
"Maybe I am a whore, Klaus." She told him. "Have you ever thought about that? Maybe I enjoy the sensations I experience when I am with a man." The blonde added. "Intimately, of course." She clarified, hoping to get a rise out of him.
"You're trying to provoke me, but that isn't going to work. I have figured your game out a very long time ago and if you think that I am going to believe in what you tell me now, you're mistaken."
"Am I?" She questioned. "How about I prove it to you? I'll march right into that bar again and I'll have a man wrapped around my finger in five minutes tops. Maybe then you'll realize that I don't like you and don't want you near me. You may believe that you have some idiotic loyalty to my brother, but he was a coward. Enzo left when things got rough and I know for a fact that in a couple of months, you'll fuck off just like he did. Both of you are cowards."
"How am I a coward, Caroline? Enzo left because he needed some time to himself. He loves you no matter what you think and just because you believe he left you doesn't mean he didn't leave me, too. He was my best friend for crying out loud- still is even though I haven't heard from him in half a decade."
"I know what you're trying to do, Klaus. Cut the crap and let me go. I want to go home and sleep, so just fuck off with your stupid accented voice and broody facade."
"So now you just want to sleep? I thought you were just about ready to go back into that bar in order to find yourself some fuck buddy for the night."
"I have a phone, smart one and in that phone I have a bunch of numbers... If I call somebody, they'll come by and show me a good time. Something you obviously can't do."
"Excuse me?" He questioned as his jaw dropped slightly and he felt like shaking the bloody blonde back into her former self before everything went to hell.
"You heard me," she shrugged. "I've been throwing myself at you ever since I grew boobs, but you never give in. I wonder why…" She said.
"I am not going to shag you, Caroline. If you think that I will then you are out of your bloody mind! I don't even find you attractive."
Lie, he knew it, but she didn't.
"Good," she hissed, venom dripping from her voice. "I'm pretty sure your penis isn't even an inch long. No wonder you're probably still a virgin."
"You forget that I was in the navy, Caroline." He told her.
"And so what if you were?"
"Surely, you understand that when Enzo and I were off duty, we seeked entertainment elsewhere. We frequented strip clubs most of the time and the ladies that I have already been with were really very happy with the outcome." He responded because for some reason that he couldn't comprehend, he wanted to hurt Caroline.
He knew that she always had a thing for him and refused to admit that he had a thing for her.
The Brit was almost certain that he saw a hint of sadness in her green eyes, but he refused to show her any sympathy. It was about damn time that she cleaned up her act and he was going to make sure that she was going to do just that.
"Give me your car keys." Klaus ordered, holding out his hand.
Caroline looked down at his hand with disgust in her eyes and spat instead of giving him the car keys that he asked for.
"How about you go and fuck yourself, Niklaus?" She questioned, using the name that he despised just to anger him.
"That is it!" He shouted, the annoyance evident in his voice.
Caroline felt a shiver run down her spine and backed up, but before she could get two feet away, he had his arms around her waist and was hauling her onto his shoulders like she weighed close to nothing.
"Put me down!" She cried out as she pounded on his back with her little fists and felt the annoyance bubbling up under the surface.
"Shut your fucking mouth, Caroline. I am fucking done with your bullshit, so stop trying to fight me."
Caroline spotted two guys a couple of feet away from them and a plan formed in her somewhat cloudy mind.
"Help!" She cried out. "Please help me!" She added for emphasis as she continued pounding on his back.
"What the-?" Klaus started, but before he could continue the guys were approaching them.
"Is this guy bothering you?" The more beefy guy questioned as his hands clenched into fists and he cracked his neck, taking a step closer.
Before Caroline could answer, Klaus put her down and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"We're okay, mate… My girlfriend had a little too much to drink which is why she is being so difficult." Klaus told him and the guy narrowed his eyes suspiciously as his friend shrugged. "Hey, at least she'll be a little hellion in bed tonight." He added, his voice getting lower and a lot more sexier.
"You sure she up for it?" The beefy guy questioned, still unsure if he should move past the couple or help the girl.
"Definitely," he nodded enthusiastically. "Isn't that right, baby?" He added as he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her right on the lips.
Even though Caroline didn't want to respond to his kiss, she simply couldn't resist. With a moan, she looped her arms around his neck and kissed him harder as he nipped on her bottom lip with his teeth.
Klaus pulled away from her and chuckled as he shrugged at the guys and began rubbing her arm affectionately. The blonde couldn't help but sag against him even though she knew that all that he was doing was an act.
"See, we're all good here." Klaus told them, giving them his signature smile.
With a nod, the guys walked away from him and Klaus sighed in relief, but not because he was afraid of those guys, but because he wasn't in the mood for fighting.
"Are you ready to stop acting like a little bitch now, Caroline?" Klaus asked, his tone flat as if they didn't just share the best kiss ever.
"Fuck you," she snapped and Klaus smirked before he tugged on her hand and moved towards his car.
"I hope you're taking me to my house now." Caroline told him as she settled in her seat.
"No, we're going to my house." He clarified as he put the seatbelt on her.
"Nah, fuck that." Caroline shook her head as she made a move towards the door.
Klaus locked the doors before she could escape and she glared at him and looked as if she was just about ready to murder him.
"Oops," he said, shrugging as if he was innocent before he drove off.
