Hey y'all! My take in how that deleted 4x07 kiss would have gone.

Enjoy :)

Caroline's eyes widened and body stilled, completely forgetting her surroundings as her mind flooded with a million question marks.

Klaus was kissing her.

Klaus Mikaelson was kissing her on the lips.

At the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant where everyone could see, including Tyler.

Yes, Caroline agreed to letting Klaus be her date to the pageant, with him still being under the assumption that she and Tyler were broken up. They ended up having a better time than she expected, much better actually.

Klaus was a great date. They laughed, drank champagne and indulged in meaningful conversations with each other. Caroline couldn't pretend she wasn't enjoying herself or his company. But nowhere did she expect them to go from talking about hummingbirds to him pressing his soft raspberry colored lips against hers.

- This is wrong, so wrong.

Caroline thought to herself as she realized she was doing nothing to stop him.

Why was she doing nothing?!

He at least deserved a slap to the face.

Though she and Tyler's break up was for show, they were still together behind closed doors. Tyler was still her boyfriend and the only man who should be kissing her, the only man she should want to kiss. But Klaus' lips on hers felt all kinds of right and that scared her more than anything.

- Stupid Klaus.

Caroline briefly moved her lips with his before she quickly caught herself.

Harshly pressing her hand against his chest, she pulled away.

"What the hell are you doing?" She abruptly asked.

Klaus was almost stunned by her question, as if he himself couldn't believe he made such a bold move. But he quickly composed himself. "I thought it was rather obvious, don't you love?" Klaus smirked.

"This is not the time for your obnoxious teasing comments." Caroline spat. "You kissed me. Why did you kiss me?"

"Well you, as others in this wretched town know, I quite fancy you."

She scoffed. "So, what that gives you some kind of open invitation to just kiss me whenever you feel like it!"

Klaus scrunched his forehead. "Caroline that's not-"

She backed away from his reach. "No. You kissed me, here. At a public event with my friends and family, where Tyler is sitting just across the path."

He stiffened at the mention of his disloyal hybrid.

"I thought he was a thing of the past?" He gritted his teeth.

Caroline opened then closed her mouth.

Can he just let her be angry for god's sake!

She scoffed. "Does it matter? He was still my boyfriend and someone I cared a lot about. Showing up here with you confuses people. I don't want us to become the next Mystic Falls rumor."

"So there is an us?" Klaus teasingly grinned.

Caroline wanted to slap that adorable expression off his dimpled face.

She was so confused and angry, more with herself than Klaus. Conflicted on the simple kiss that she secretly wished was longer.

No. No.

Klaus is evil, selfish and sadistic. He's a terrible person and everything she shouldn't be attracted to. She was still with Tyler, she loved Tyler and liking anything about Klaus was not an option ever. No matter how appealing his accent was or his stupid dimples or the way he understood her like no one else, or that she didn't have to hide herself from him.

- Stupid, stupid Klaus!

Caroline heavily sighed. "Klaus, I'm serious."

"So am I. But it seems to me you're more concerned of other people's opinions on what you're doing, instead of what it is you're actually doing."

Her heart was pounding loudly and aggressively in her chest. "That-that's not what I meant."

Klaus knowingly grinned as if he could hear all her inner thoughts.

- Could he be anymore frustrating?

The flustered blonde pressed her lips together, sweaty palms and cloudy mind. "Look, I had a nice time but I think this is done."

"This?" He questioned.

"This date, or whatever you want to call it." She said motioning her finger between them.

"We had a deal." Klaus said darkly.

"Yeah and kissing wasn't part of it!" Caroline spat back. "You think you can do whatever you want but you can't, not with me.

Klaus opened his mouth to speak but Caroline was still going.

"Your stupid infatuation over me is ridiculous you know that, right? You fancy me?" She laughed. "How when you barely know me?"

His face darkened. "Now love, we both know that's not true."

Safe to say Klaus knew her better than her own friends. She hated admitting that.

Caroline shook her head. "Bottom line, you're a terrible person Klaus who has done nothing to help me besides for your own selfish gain. You tormented the guy I love and terrorized my friends and people I care about. And you're weird stalker whatever thing isn't flattering, it's weird. I'm in love with Tyler, he's the one I want. Nothing between me and you was ever going to happen, okay? The fact that I even entertained the thought of us possibly being friends was naive of me. I should have known I was signing a deal with the devil when I agreed to this. Trusting you in any way was a mistake, I will never make again."

So many half truths in everything she just screamed at him, she could barely believe it herself.

Klaus' face hardened and before she knew it, he was directly in front of her again.

Caroline could practically taste his breath. Their noses almost touching as his ocean blue eyes heavily bored into her's. She could even see the trim of sea green around his iris.

The loud pounding noise was her heart ready to fall out her butt. The close proximity making her anxious as she anticipated his next move.

He wouldn't dare try kissing her again after after all this, if the anger and hurt written all over his face wasn't proof enough.

Did she want him to kiss her again?

"It seems you've been working awfully hard brewing up that little list of yours, it almost sounded rehearsed."

She gulped at his threatening tone. "I meant all of it." Her voice coming out more shaky and soft than she intended.

Maybe hurting his feelings was what he needed to finally catch the hint.

Klaus nodded. "I too have entertained that thought...of being friends. Guess we both were rather blinded."

Caroline wanted to gasp but she couldn't.

"I've allowed a lot to be pushed aside, made negotiations and expressed mercy for your sake and your sake alone. I've shown weakness for you. A mistake I, will never make again." He coldly claimed.

Why was him vocalizing what she already knew hitting her harder than it should?

What did he mean by that? Was he going to drop out her life after everything now?

The orchestra began to play loudly as the contestants walked back out for their final farewell, snapping Caroline out of her haze.

She nervously looked around smiling, wondering if anyone was watching them.

She caught a quick glimpse of Tyler who was thankfully wrapped up in a conversation with Hayley.

Last thing she needed was explaining any of this to him right now.

Caroline discreetly licked her dry lips before staring back at the hybrid. "I can't...you just can't do that, ever again okay?"

Her voice was breathless. Still taken aback by the unexpected kiss, this conversation and her conflicting emotions.

Klaus took another step closer, as if he was searching for another answer in her eyes but his face remained hard.

"Noted." He simply stated.

Before Caroline could even attempt at another word, he was already gone.

Her only reminder of his presence was her crumbled up old Miss Mystic Falls application left on the grass.
