Caroline just got off the phone with Elena. She was super pissed. Elena and Bonnie both cancelled on her. She was stuck baking the cupcakes for the school's pep rally all by herself. Bonnie had witchy things to do with her mom all of a sudden and Elena was flying out to go see Jeremy with Alaric.

The first batch was baking and all the cake decorations were out. She could do this. She always came through for school events so this would be no different. 300 cupcakes…no biggie..right?

Just as she put two more cupcake trays in the oven and sat down to start frosting previous batches she heard a knock on her front door. Please let it be someone who can frost a cupcake.

She went to the door and opened it. Was the universe against her today?

"Hello Caroline." Klaus said standing at her doorway with his hands in his pockets and that ever faithful smirk of his.

"What are you doing here?" she questioned

"Well…I was merely in the neighborhood and decided to pop by."

"Seriously? In the neighborhood? You're going with that as an excuse. *sigh* Grab an apron." Caroline simply turned around and went back to her kitchen. If unwanted guests were going to drop by, they were going to help her.

A minute later Klaus was now standing in her kitchen looking around in amazement. "Wow. You know love, if you stress bake or something, I think you may have gone overboard."

Caroline giggled. "Shut up! I do not stress bake. I stress eat. But if you must know, this is for a school event. I have 200 more to go, so put on an apron and get to frosting."

Klaus went around the table and stood unbearably close to Caroline. "Yes mam. I should let you boss me around more often…"

Caroline noticed how close he was standing and felt her body temp go up slightly. She shifted a bit. She turned her head and looked up at him. His blue eyes darkened with lust. "Well…what are you waiting for?" she asked, admittedly a little shaky.

He brushed away & tucked a curl out of her eyes and replied "I'm waiting for you to give it to me."

Caroline's eyes bulged out and she immediately felt a heat rush start from her chest and head south. "What?" she asked.

"An apron love." Klaus said dipping his finger into the frosting and licking it off.

Caroline knew the rest of the cupcakes wouldn't get done…at least not today.
