"Come on Stef! She isn't that bad" Caroline said trying to contain her laughter as her best friend rambled about her horrible assistant.
The blonde with piercing forest green eyes turned to her and dropped his sandwich onto the tray. "Are you kidding me? She is practically drooling at every man that steps foot into your office. I mean she literally tried to rape me with her eyes or something" Stefan said in an exaggerated manner.
"Yeah well she's great at organizing my schedule and is very well settled with my patients so you're going to have to suck it up" The female blonde said sipping her coffee. Caroline Forbes was one of the best psychiatrists in New York. She was extremely friendly with her patients and used the talking method instead of medicines or shoving them into mental institutes.
Stefan Salvatore was her best friend and the heir of the Salvatore law firm along with his older brother Damon Salvatore. Stefan and Caroline had been friends since forever and the younger Salvatore had even helped Caroline set up her office in the beginning when she was out in the city with her fresh degree.
"She undresses me with her every time I walk into your office" he whined and pushing his lower lip out.
Caroline laughed at his antics and finished her own sandwich, "My every male patient undresses me every day" she countered. At first this bothered her to a great extent but after working at the same place for over 3 years, she had gotten used to it. Besides people didn't come to her if they didn't need help.
"I have to head back. I have a bunch load of patients waiting for me" Caroline said wiping her face with a napkin and grabbing her disposable coffee cup while gathering her stuff.
He grabbed her arm and looked at her, "Are you coming to Damon's tonight?" he asked silently begging her to come. Damon was freshly engaged to Elena Gilbert, one of Caroline's childhood best friends and Stefan's ex-girlfriend. He had practically wanted to jump off the highest building in New York after hearing about their engagement. It wasn't the fact that he still loved Elena but it was because of the fact that once Stefan had offered the same things to Elena as his brother was offering now.
"Yeah though I might be a little late. But I have another dress at the office so I'll get ready from there and be there as soon as I can" the blonde said with a smile and placed her hand on his reassuringly. "Don't worry I'll be there with you the whole time" she assured him and kissed both of his cheeks.
"Damon asked if you could pick up my mother's ring from the jeweler. He gave it to get polished a few days back" Stefan said awkwardly.
She rolled her eyes, "Damon asked?" she laughed at him. "Tell the idiot, I'll get it but I better get the pizza if I'm late" Caroline said holding up and warning finger at the younger Salvatore.
"Okay thanks. See you tonight then" Stefan said and helped her put her coat on and kissed her cheek.
"See you later Stef. Bye!" the blonde exclaimed as she sprinted towards her office. The café she ate from usually with Stefan for lunch time was Barbetta. It was a nice authentic Italian restaurant and was really close to her office so it was her best choice.
She walked towards her office and kept checking her phone. After ten minutes of walking in those dreadful heels, she reached her office and walked in. She reached the lobby and went to her receptionist, Mindy's desk.
"You're late" the dark skinned girl said sternly. Caroline had a really friendly relationship with her assistant which is why Mindy often scolded Caroline.
"Sorry mum. Had to eat something" she replied sarcastically. Sometimes her life just got too busy and she found it a blessing that she had time to sit down and eat with her friends.
"Well what you eat is being paid by them." she replied as she deposited Caroline's coat on the hanger and handed her a file.
"Yeah yeah I know" the blonde said and walked towards her office holding the coffee cup to her lips. It was, surprisingly, still pretty hot. Just as she brought it down from her lips, she glanced at her phone to check any missed calls or messages but found none.
She bumped into someone and spilled the coffee all over her top. "Aah!" Caroline yelped as she held her shirt up and blew cold air on her chest to stop the burning sensation.
"My apologies love" a male accented voice said. Caroline looked up to see a very handsome young man with blonde curly hair, piercing blue-grey eyes, rosy pink lips and a stubble. He was wearing a grey Henley and fitted denim jeans. He was not a new face here. Klaus Mikaelson.
When she realized she was checking him out, she blinked a few times and snapped herself out of it. "Klaus" she breathed out. "I'm glad to see you're back" she said and threw the cup into the dust bin and wiped her hands with a napkin.
He smiled at her, "Of course I'd always come back to see you sweetheart" he answered.
"As much as I would love to chat. You have ruined my favorite shirt and I have patients to get back to" she replied and opened the door of her office and walked in. She didn't bother to lock the door before she peeled off her shirt and searched the drawer for the extra clothes she kept at her office.
Klaus opened the office door and he was absolutely enamored by the view. Caroline waist up naked only a black lace bra covering her. She didn't seem to realize he was there and staring. Caroline was a beauty and that is exactly why she had been Niklaus' latest obsession for the past year.
"I must say I love this welcoming view" he commented as he closed the door behind him and made his presence known. He didn't even pretend to have some decency and his eyes roamed over her naked figure hungrily.
"Seriously?" Caroline drawled as she quickly slid on a grey sweatshirt. "Klaus just because I treat you like a friend doesn't mean you're not my patient. There are some rules" she told him seriously like she did every day but he never really listened to her.
Klaus had been Caroline's patient for a year and there was still no progress. He had a really strong and dominant personality. He came into Caroline's office himself one day and asked for her help. He never revealed anything about his personal life like family, job or address. Anything really. All she knew was he was Klaus who loved to paint, sketch. He was from UK and then shifted to the States a few years back. But besides such minor things, she knew nothing about him and sometimes she wondered how he even had money to pay for his visits. He was obviously filthy rich because he lived in total luxury. Latest car, latest watch, expensive clothes and everything.
"I already told you I don't care about the rules" he said and sat down in one of the chairs in front of Caroline. "Let's talk" he said and leaned back in his chair enjoying her company, no matter the conditions.
After another couple of tiring hours, Caroline finished up and got dressed into her office. She had to go to Damon's place and the whole group was going to be there to celebrate Damon and Elena's engagement. Unofficial one of course.
Mindy brought in Damon's mum's ring for Caroline, much to her dismay but the blonde was practically begging her. Caroline sprinted out of the office, with her bag and files in hand as she walked over to her car. As she was putting the stuff in the passenger seat, she could feel the hair at the back of her neck standing as if someone was staring her. She looked around and saw no one even though it wasn't that dark considering it was just seven. She sighed and quickly walked over to other side of her car and sat in the driver seat. She buckled her seat belt and locked all the doors of her car. Since the past few months she felt as if someone was staring her but when she looked, no one was there.
Caroline blamed it on watching too many horror movies and drove off. Little did she know, information was being gathered about her for the past year? Klaus had been stalking her day and night. He hadn't painted or sketched in more than four years and then one day a beautiful blonde came into his view and his muse returned to him. He knew every little detail of her life. From how much sugar she took in her tea to her number of ex-boyfriends. He knew her past, present and had even planned out the perfect future for her.
He knew of her friends. Elena Gilbert, her best friend, engaged to Damon Salvatore brother of Stefan Salvatore who was Caroline's best friend, much to Klaus' dismay. He was always way too close to Caroline for his liking. She had two more best friends, Bonnie Bennett who worked as a weather forecaster and Katherine Gilbert owned her own little boutique was Elena's twin sister. She had a lot of friends but these ones were very special to her.
He had seen every inch of her apartment in the Biltmore. That was the only thing Caroline had taken from parents' money. She refused to take the rest because she wanted to stand on her own feet, unlike him. He had inherited quite a lot of money and real estate from his family. He started his own car and drove off to follow his Caroline.
Caroline grabbed her purse and walked towards Damon's house. It was really far from her office but she had to be there for her friends. Not only Elena and Damon but also for Stefan who was as expected mopping in the corner. It seemed the party had started without her. Bonnie and Elena ran to her and gave her a quick hug and squealed in excitement.
"I'm engaged! Can you believe it?" Elena squealed happily.
Bonnie and Caroline laughed and shook their heads. "Congratulations though 'Lena. You really deserve to be happy" Caroline cheered her and gave her kiss on the cheek.
"Katherine! Care's here" Bonnie called out to the brunette chatting up with a pretty blonde man that Caroline didn't recognize.
Katherine came grinning to Caroline and hugged her tightly. "Kat… Air… Lungs... Easy tiger" the blonde choked out of her tight embrace.
Katherine nudged her playfully and the girls laughed at her. "Who's the hottie?" Caroline asked eyeing the poor blonde man up and down. He was hot, no doubt another one of Kat's boyfriends/play toys.
"Vaughn" Katherine called out in a sarcastically sweet voice. "Come meet Caroline" she added and watched as he came and placed one hand on Katherine's back while shook Caroline's hand with the other.
"Vaughn here. Nice to finally meet you" he said holding out his hand and eyeing Caroline with genuine interest and was he flirting with her?
Caroline shook out of her thoughts and placed her hand into his. "Caroline Forbes. Nice to meet you too though I'm not sure if I've heard about you before" she answered with a polite smile.
Vaughn kissed the top of her hand and smirked at her. Before he could answer Katherine spoke for him.
"I asked him to come. I thought you guys would really hit it on" the brunette answered twirling a piece of her brown locks deviously.
"Real subtle" Caroline whispered in her friend's ear and chuckled at her friend's effort to set her up. But in the end her friends cared for her so she would do anything for them even if it meant going on stupid dates.
The girls excused themselves and left Caroline and Vaughn together. After a few minutes, Katherine's boyfriend Mason and his nephew Tyler joined the party. Tyler tried multiple times to hit on Caroline but thanks to Katherine, she had a valid excuse to avoid him tonight. A date.
They all laughed, clapped, danced as Damon slid the ring onto Elena's finger. Caroline danced most of the night with Stefan to keep his mood light. Tyler and Vaughn kept watching from the sidelines. Eventually the party died down and Bonnie, Katherine, Mason and Tyler left. Only Vaughn and Stefan were left with her at Damon and Elena's place.
"So when will I see you again?" Vaughn asked coming behind Caroline as she disposed of the leftovers.
Caroline turned to him and shook her head apologetically. "Look Vaughn. You're a really nice guy. But I'm not looking for any sort of relationship right now. My job isn't exactly very easy and it requires all my attention. I'm sorry. You seem really sweet and I hope you get someone who deserves you" She excused herself and went to find Stefan drunk on the couch.
"Get up Salvatore. I'm taking you home" Caroline said as she snatched his keys from him, to prevent him from trying to drive and helped him up. He stumbled but Caroline steadied him and placed his arm around her shoulder balancing his weight.
She opened the front door and walked outside. "Elena! Damon!" she called out. "I'm taking Stefan home. Thanks for dinner. I'll see you guys later" she said and left knowing they were probably already making out somewhere.
Caroline walked up to her car and sat Stefan in the passenger seat and moved into her own seat to drive. She drove Stefan to his apartment and helped Stefan into bed. She sighed and put an aspirin with a bottle of water for him at his bedside and left him a note.
Happy hangover Salvadork! Can't meet tomorrow, I'll be busy. XOXO
Caroline walked back to her own car and yawned. She was really sleepy and it was too late. She needed to get home soon. She got into her car and drove off to her apartment. On reaching she crashed straight onto her bed not even bothering to change. What she didn't notice was that her coffee stained shirt was no longer in her car and she wasn't the only one to enter her apartment.
Klaus walked into Caroline's bedroom and tucked her in while she slept. He watched her in awe as she slept peacefully. He looked really beautiful. He ran his fingers over her cheek lovingly and enjoyed the feeling of her soft skin under his tips. He sat on the seat in her room and took out his sketchbook and began sketching his latest obsession.
