So, thank you so much for those who followed and favorited my first story

So I decided to continue it and yes, I'm very excited.

Though this chapter might be a little disappointment while I'm trying to give you guys what Caroline thought is.

It's more of a filler chapter and I'll explain it to you on the bottom so I don't give spoilers.

Enjoy and please review.

Note: I did a bit of rewrite, changed some of the location and oh yeah, Caroline didn't remember his name okay. Just his face.

Chapter 2:

What I Think of You

Caroline awoke with a pounding head and no recollection of what happened last night. But now she knew why Stefan hadn't drunk too much last night. Someone needed to sober up, especially in a party like Kol held where the supply of alcohol had never ran out.

She remembered meeting a guy and had a few too many drinks in the club. What happened next was what confused her. How did she got back to her room was a mystery too. Maybe Stefan brought her up. But that would only be her wish since the last time she had spotted them was hours before she moved herself to the bar. She wasn't sure what to think about them. Maybe they patched things up last night and would get back soon. Or maybe it wasn't that easy. One thing Caroline knew for sure that they had brunch at eleven and she didn't want to look like hell today.

Then she remembered the stranger's blue eyes. She cringed at the thought of what could have happened last night but surely they'd go to his room if any 'activities' were to take place. Except if she herself had suggested in her state of drunkenness to go back to her room. She was half-naked too. Only her white cotton t-shirt hung loosely over her underwear.

She didn't know what to think honestly. She exhaled a sigh of relief to find the bed empty. And she was not even sure if that was a good thing. He could have left her, it was morning and in those bad comedy films she used to watch back in high school, the guys would leave without a word to their partner. It was a one night stand, what more could she ask for. She reminded herself that it was very possible she didn't have sex with the stranger. She didn't even remember his name. When she thought about it the stranger didn't look like a 'nice guy' too if she recalled correctly, not that her blurry state of mind could be trusted.

Caroline got up and straightened herself to sit on her bed when she noticed a glass of water and two aspirins on her nightstand. Without so much as a thought, she took both the pills; hopefully it might help her raging headache.

Everything else came in a blur after that, she heard her phone buzzed nonstop on her other nightstand and there were at least eight texts asking where she was and if she was okay. And it was already eleven-thirty. No luxury baths for her once again.

Ten minutes later, Caroline was downstairs with her darkest shade of sunglasses, her head was still pounding mercilessly. She hoped food would help lessen the pain and she had none of those since last night. Not even coffee.

She met up with the others on her way to the restaurant on one of the hotel's wings. Stefan and Elena were hand in hand, at least there would be something good happening today. Rebekah and Damon followed by Kol and Bonnie with their friends Autumn, Zack, Bill, Caitlyn and Stephanie. Everyone was dressed nicely and for the first time since high school, Caroline felt like the ugly duckling. She still had the t-shirt she woke up with, the only comfortable clothes she brought and a pair of washed jeans completed with her silver ballerinas. Her jeans was clean and freshly pressed but she still felt very much disheveled. No one questioned her sunglasses and it was a good thing. She didn't want to explain something she didn't understand herself.

"Hey, Care," Elena said with a big smile plastered on her face.

Caroline wanted to smile back, but found no smile in her, "Hey Lena."

"Uh-uh. Someone's in a foul mood this morning," Stefan mocked.

She glared at her friend whose smile gotten wider. "You have no idea."

"Be nice, Stef. Care-bear seemed hung over," she reason. Then Elena separated herself from Stefan with a quick kiss on his lips before walking along side the blonde. "What's wrong? How much did you drink last night?"

Caroline shrugged. "I'm fine. Those cocktails proved to be stronger than I thought."

"Me too," she chipped in. Not looking like someone who had a hung over. "Stefan helped though so I'm a lot better."

"Wish I had a guy who takes care of me," Caroline confessed. She looked towards the couples in front of her and sighed.

"Oh come on, Care!" Elena whined and linked her arms around Caroline. "We're in Vegas. Have fun. Let's do something crazy!"

She sighed again. "I think I did."

"You think?" Elena questioned.

"I don't remember."

"You don't remember what, Blondie?" Damon cut in.

"Ugh, shut up, Damon!" Her headache was already bad enough without the added pain of hearing Damon Salvatore unusually cheery voice.

Damon smirked at her and then gave his attention back to Rebekah. Rebekah threw Caroline a somewhat apologizing smile and led Damon to the restaurant. Elena gave her a questioning look and Caroline knew she was going to ask a lot of questions she herself didn't know the answer to. So she guessed Elena was a safe bet if she wanted to talk to someone about last night. She gave the brunette a quick explanation about last night, the things she remembered to be precise. And the little gasps Elena gave were the only thing her best friend said.

"So yeah, that's like the only thing I remembered."

Elena nodded. "What's your plan, Care?"

"I don't know," she said glumly. "You think I should look for the guy?"

"Yeah, isn't he like the only one who knew what happened?"

Caroline took a seat on the comfy chair inside the huge restaurant and Elena sat next to her. Everyone had already taken their seats and the waiter was taking their orders.

"I guess. But what if nothing happened and I sounded so suspicious and he thought that I wanted something to happen. And then he would laugh at me," she complained.

Elena rolled her eyes but their conversation was cut short when the waiter asked them their order. She ordered coffee and pancakes while Elena opted for tea and scrambled eggs.

"It's better than not knowing. Just look for the guy and try to read his expression first when he sees you. Maybe he would give something up from his facial expression if anything did happen last night." She wiggled her eyebrows causing Caroline to smack her. "Again you could just ask him point-blank. It's not that hard, Care."

She thought about Elena suggestion and finally nodded.

Then she realized Stefan's curious expression and looked Elena straight in the eyes. "You better not tell anyone about this before I find out the truth."

"Tell us what?" Stefan asked.

Caroline rolled her eyes at Stefan. "Girl talk. Do you mind?"

Stefan held out his hand in surrender while Kol–who she didn't realize have been listenin–laughed.

"What are you talking about, darling?"

Now all of their attention were to her. Even Caitlyn who was a big gossiper.

"It's girl talk, Kol. Please Bon, tell your man to mind his own business."

She knew it was harsh. She shouldn't have said something like that. But Bonnie caught her expression and whispered something to Kol to distract him. Maybe luck was on her side now because suddenly, the waiter came back with their drink order and they all returned to their previous conversations.

"Don't you want our help? We could scout the hotel for the guy if you want," Elena whispered.

Caroline shrugged. "No, I guess not. I'm still considering whether I believe ignorance is bliss or not. And either way you're not gonna help me."

"But, Care-"

"No, Elena," she cut her best friend off. "If you come, then Stefan would get suspicious and you'll blurted it out to him and then he'd come and the rest would eventually find out."

"Okay, fine. But I'll be here if you need any help."

The conversation about her 'mysterious' last night was finished then and the waiter came again to deliver their orders. They moved to lighter topics after that and the others joined on their conversation soon after.

After the much-needed brunch, Caroline felt better. Her body still ached and her throat was still dry even with the amount of water she'd been drinking but the sunglasses were off now.

Stefan told her that he was with Elena the whole night so that crossed the last hope she had. Now she had to find the guy from last night and although she hated awkward. It would be embarrassing. But Caroline was a control freak and she would like to know what happen and if something did happen, she hoped they used protection.

The hotel was big, she realized. And it would take hours to locate a certain blue-eyed stranger. All she knew about him was that he must had been one of Kol's friends but she didn't want to ask for Kol's help. God knew what kind of innuendos he would come up with. She would not tell anyone, not even Bonnie. Bonnie would feel it was her responsibility to look for the stranger's identity and her best friend might be a good friend but she couldn't keep a secret from Kol to save her life. Lastly, Caroline was never known to be the irresponsible one and she figured her best friends would be a little disappointed, especially Stefan. She'd tell them eventually, when she knew the whole story. If she ever knew the whole story.

She knew what they'd say, well what Damon would say. It was a onetime thing and guys wouldn't like girls looking for them after their fling. They'd think the girl was looking for something more and try to guilt trip them into a relationship. She–was looking for him for one thing and one thing only–an explanation. She knew she sounded like a crazy person even to herself.

But Kol had a different plan. He was taking them to see Cirque du Soleil, something everyone was not too excited about. Elena didn't let her passed up the opportunity to look for the stranger and she agreed. Caroline had thought it might be a good experience, she would love to see one the shows that Vegas had to offer, maybe a Celine Dion show. But whatever she had in mind, she didn't think she would be watching a burlesque circus. She set her mind and told everyone she would go, the others were a little more reluctant but in the end Kol got them to agree. He bought them all tickets for that night. She reminded herself that she'd never been outside of Mystic Falls except for business trips which only allowed her to go to New York. This was Las Vegas; they needed to be open for new experiences.

Kol gave them time the rest of the afternoon to get ready. She and Elena got ready together in Caroline's room. Both girls decided to have a 'sleepover' on her room to catch up since they were so busy with their work back in Mystic Falls.

"Hey Lena since we have a few more hours how about checking the shops at third floor?"

Elena looked up from her laptop. She was working on a budget report. "Um, they have a mall here?"

Caroline rolled her eyes. "Yes! I read it in the resort map, they have a bunch of stores in the west wing and the third floor."

Elena looked torn between her laptop and the idea of a shopping spree and but in the end she shut down her laptop. "Okay, but let's not take too long. We need to get ready for the circus."

They were out by the door and was headed to the elevator. Caroline pressed for the third floor button and watched as the numbers descended. The lift was occupied by a bunch of people and they went out all in a rush together at the third floor. It was an impressive layout. The whole floor was filled with boutiques and designer retail stores. Caroline and Elena went with into one of the fast fashion retail store. They tried a couple of items since some were on sale. Caroline ended up with two bags worth of shoes and dresses while Elena only managed to find a pair of jeans and shorts.

Soon after the girls were back in Caroline's room. They whipped out their respective curling irons, getting their hair done in record time. Caroline let her hair down in small waves; while Elena pulled her hair in a messy ponytail, similar to the one Caroline pulled yesterday. They wore a similar pair of red heels; Caroline's were peep-toe and Elena's wedges and paired it with a fitted yellow capped-sleeve dress while Caroline opted for a more casual blue and white stripped dress. They got out precisely fifteen minutes late, giggling over Elena's raunchy night with Stefan. The two girls kept talking until they reached the lobby. But for once they were not the last one to arrive because Kol and Bonnie were nowhere to be seen. She caught the look on Stefan's face when he sent a nasty look at Damon. She found out from Elena that last night she finally found the courage to tell Stefan about the kiss. By the looks of it, while Stefan could forgive his girlfriend for her behavior, the same could not be said about Damon. Caroline guessed if she had a sister who kissed her boyfriend, she could not be so forgiving either.

The missing couple came downstairs ten minutes later with red swollen lips and everyone could guess right away what they were up to. They went to the venue of the show on separate cars. Apparently some of Kol's bigger limos were in use. Thankfully they were only five minutes late for the show.

Caroline didn't really pay much attention to the show; she was still reeling on the thought that she saw the stranger walked pass her when they were entering the room. He didn't say anything though so first she assumed they just looked alike but then she noticed the necklaces on his neck and thought it was too much of a coincidence. There was no way there was an identical guy who wore the same stack of necklaces around his neck. They could be twins, she thought to herself but dismissed the idea right away. He had looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, an expression that mirrored her own. She had seen the brief flash of recognition in his eyes before he looked away. She tried to follow him but he was not there. Caroline tried to think positively that at the very least he was still in Vegas and she could look for the guy later when the show ended.

To her, the show was spectacular; the performers looked amazing but the show itself didn't really catch her attention. It was too adultery for her taste although the guys looked interested in it. Bonnie and her other friends were talking to each other while Rebekah rolled her eyes once a few seconds while still watching the show. On her other sight, she could see a faint blush on Elena's cheeks while watching it. The costumes were brilliant and she wondered if it had been sewn to their bodies since there seemed to be no buttons or zippers.

"Blondie, the stage is upfront, not down there," Damon said, as he noticed she was looking down at her cellphone.

She glared at him. "What?"

"We're here to see an entertainment that Mystic Falls won't be having till another fifty years," he said. "Or ever."

"It's not my kind of entertainment, Damon. No offense, Kol," she explained.

Kol smirked and turn his attention back to the show. "None taken, darling."

"Oh, come on. It's interesting," Damon reasoned. "Wow I don't even think people were that flexible."

"I think what Caroline's trying to say is that it's too vulgar," Elena cut in. "I personally agree with her."

The performer did something out of the ordinary and people around her was clapping their hands in gratification.

"I think it's interesting," Caitlyn –who they all suspected had feelings for Damon–said, glaring at Elena.

"Oh yeah I-"

But she was cut by Stefan first. "Okay, guys, I know some of the girls don't like it, but like Damon pointed out, it's an experience. I'm not quite fond of it either but could you please keep your voice down so the other people won't be disturbed?"

She nodded solemnly and waited for Damon's snarky come back but it never came. They all watched it quietly while the girls distracted themselves. When the show finally ended, Caroline got out first and glanced around to look for the stranger. She didn't find him once again. Bonnie came to them this time saying that Kol had to meet up with his brother before he got back. Stefan asked about someone named Nik and Bonnie nodded. Damon got to the story of the Mikaelson then, telling them how the siblings were when the Salvatores were living in London with their father then. But she zoned out, keeping her eyes around to make sure she caught the stranger. She zoned back in when Damon explained that apparently Stefan and Rebekah had dated when they were fifteen. Elena kept a very protective hand on Stefan's waist while Rebekah scowled at Damon. Every time Rebekah was going to talk to Stefan, Elena spoke first and Stefan was wise enough to give his full attention on his girlfriend. The rest of the trip back was filled with insults thrown to everyone's way and the tension that were there when Damon opened his big mouth melted. Caroline found herself laughing a few times and her mood had gotten better.

That is, until they got back to the resort lobby and she saw the stranger with a very leggy brunette that reminded her with Elena, with bitchier attitude and a fitted black dress, definitely more of Damon's type. She thought about what that could do to her advantage. If it was really the stranger from last night, she would need the brunette to be away to have the embarrassing conversation with him. It was bad enough to talk to a guy about a night she didn't remember, but being seen by another girl would be hell.

She glanced at Elena and mouthed "your two o'clock". Her best friend turned around just in time to see the other brunette turned her head to them to whisper something to the stranger's ear. Caroline's blood boiled then, she didn't know why though. He wasn't hers so it couldn't be jealousy. Maybe more like a disappointment to let herself talk to a guy who hung around girls like that. Elena's eyes widened for a moment and when Elena's and the brunette's eyes met, the other girl turned around and walked away with her stranger.

She wanted to scream right then. She was getting closer to the truth but of course it couldn't have been that easy. They seemed to be heading to the other wing's elevator and Damon was nowhere to be seen. In fact the only people she knew in that lobby was Elena and Stefan. Bonnie and Kol had not gone back to the hotel with them, they were going to another club at the Bellagio with Kol's group.

Elena noticed her disappointed look and separated herself from Stefan's embrace with a chaste kiss on his lips before dragging her to the other direction to the elevators.

"Caroline, let it go. We know he's here. Why don't we go to the club later tonight and see if he's back there?"

The girls agreed to go out later, for now they had plans for skinny dipping on the private pool Bonnie told them about earlier.


Niklaus Mikaelson was standing outside, waiting for his younger brother Kol who asked him to meet up before he and Tatia went back to the hotel. His brother was nowhere to be seen and he had been waiting for ten minutes. He felt his phone buzzed and glanced down to see a text from Tatia asking where he was. He texted her back with a quick response to wait for him.

His thoughts drifted to last night and before the show when he saw Caroline again, the girl who was so full of light from last night.. He'd been staring at her all night yesterday, since the moment he stepped inside the club he knew s0mething was different in the air. He found himself watching her, from the time she had sat in the table with Stefan and what he assumed was Stefan's girlfriend. Caroline didn't seem to notice when they left the table, occupied by something on her phone. She was clearly trying to get herself drunk from the amount of drink she'd had. He knew she was one Kol's guest so they'd meet eventually. Tatia had been a bitch since the long flight from London and she had opted out of coming tonight. He was glad, that way he had a chance to know the Caroline.

When he got closer to the bar she sat on, he started to hesitate. She was a beautiful girl and he doubted that she was alone and even if he was a jerk, he knew better than to make a move on someone's girl. Then he noticed her expression, she was bored. It should be a crime for someone as beautiful as her was bored on a very crowded club in Vegas, someone should at least entertain her and show her what the city had to offer. He had been here a couple of times and all his visits had been memorable to say the least. He deduced that she was from the small town where his idiotic brother and sister had decided to stay. He heard the Salvatores stayed there too. He was closed to Stefan but he couldn't spot the younger Salvatore anymore. Only Damon, who was sitting on a nearby booth, nursing a glass of scotch with a blonde on his right; they were facing the other way and Klaus didn't have any intention of greeting to Damon. They were never close.

He moved on to the girl and made small talk to her which she–being a little tipsy –was responding quite cooperatively. He ordered her a few glasses of drink after that although he knew he shouldn't. She insisted and she was cute when she pouted. His mind was blank then and not a single fiber in his brain decided to remind him of his fiancée who was sleeping in her room a few floors above them. She'd made a few suggestive move but he knew she deserved more than a quickie on a dark corner of the bar, the arrangement he usually stuck to when meeting a gorgeous woman on a bar he didn't know. She did kiss him a couple of times and he tried to reject her. But the drinks he had consumed seemed to be working quite fast and he loved it when her hand would go through his hair then–

His reverie was cut short by the presence of Kol and his ever-present smirk.

"Niklaus, thank you for coming," his brother said while giving him a quick bear hug.

"I wouldn't miss your entertaining birthday for anything in the world, Kol. Thank you for extending the invitation Tatia. We appreciate it."

The smirk fell from Kol's face and was replaced by a scowl. "The she-devil wouldn't have let you come with us if I hadn't invited her. Why you follow father's idiotic plan, I'll never understand."

He rolled his eyes and decided to drop the subject. It wouldn't make a difference anyway. "So where's Bekah?"

"She's back at the hotel," his brother said. "We were expecting you and the others to join us for dinner last night."

He shrugged. "Tatia was jetlag and I fell asleep."

"What about mother and father? Will they be coming?"

He steered his brother out of people's way and lowered his voice a bit. "I don't know, Kol. Honestly I don't think they will. Who throws a party in Las Vegas and invites his parents?"

"Me," Kol chuckled. "Why don't you come with us and have a drink at the club?"

"Sounds good, mate," he smirked. "Nothing wild though, Tatia have eyes everywhere." He grabbed his phone from his back pocket and Kol stared at it questioningly. "I'm texting Tatia to meet us at the club. I can catch a ride with you, right?"

Kol's smirk was back on. His brother had chosen him over his bitchy, unbelievably control-freak of a fiancée. He steered them to the direction where Bonnie and his friends were waiting before making plans to meet at the Bellagio lobby.

The brothers went straight to the club right after that and a glass of scotch ever-present on both their hands. It was a family's favorite since their father liked it very much and it was either that, red wine or bourbon that was on their family alcohol cabinet.

They started to catch up but of course he and his brother could never have a normal civil conversation. They were too much alike and they didn't like anything too serious. Not like Elijah and Finn. He guessed that if everyone in his family was like the both of them, they wouldn't have a family. They talked about their time in collage when he and Kol used to get themselves drunk with fake ID and the wild parties they had in their frat house. Klaus graduated first though and then Kol was stuck with Rebekah after that and his party-boy self died down a little.

"Remember when we threw a party for Elijah at his frat house and the look on everyone faces when they realized what was going on?" Kol asked him with a smile playing on his lips.

Klaus laughed. He did remember that crazy party for his brother's birthday. "Yes, mate. But I'd hardly call that a frat house. It was more like a library, or a mausoleum."

"Yeah, it was so quite, I thought it was a graveyard."

They both laughed at that and another glass of scotch was on their table.

"They thought it was a joke, mate," Klaus said. "They had the nerve to laugh and do you remember how Elijah's friend danced?"

Kol laughed, nearly dropping his glass. "Of course, too bad our brother isn't a geek anymore."

Klaus sipped his drink and laid his hand on the booth. "But he's still uptight. I heard from his last girlfriend that he ironed his three-piece suit twice a day," he mocked. "He even ironed it once more after he took it from the dry-cleaners."

They talked about more of their past after that. Not entirely focusing on any of their siblings but they mentioned a bit of Rebekah, Freya and Finn. They talked about their teenager of a brother, Henrik and their parents and then talked about their plans.

"I'm planning on purposing, Nik."

Klaus's laughter died down at that and he stared at her brother to see if he was joking. "Why?"

Kol chuckled. "Why," he mocked. "Because she's the most beautiful and caring and sensitive girl I've ever met. She's passionate about the things I love and I love her, brother."

Klaus didn't know what to say. He knew why someone would want to purpose but never had he thought before that his childish brother would feel that way. Then his thoughts went to his fiancée. He started to think about their lives together and if he ever felt-

"You don't think I should do this," Kol said, more like a statement than a question.

Klaus shook his head. "No, it's not that," he reasoned. "I just never thought that you would ever purpose to someone. Good luck, brother. From the short time that I know Bonnie Bennett I could tell that she's as crazy for you as you for her"

"Thanks, I need all the luck I can get."

Kol then took out a red box and opened it to reveal a big diamond ring. "What do you think?"

He shrugged and took it from Kol's hand. "A little too simple for my taste but the size looks big enough," he commented.

"Bonnie loves simplicity, Nik."

"She's your girl, brother. You know her better than I do."

Kol nodded. "Thank you for your support. I appreciate it."

Klaus didn't know when the conversation got so serious and he took a sip of his scotch. "So when are you planning on purposing to Bonnie?"

"As soon as possible, I already told her friends and they helped out. I'm thinking of doing it on my birthday though."

"Good for you," Klaus said.

The conversation on the hopefully future Mrs. Kol Mikaelson ended there and went back to lighter topics. They talked about Klaus's painting and business and Kol's life in Mystic Falls. They talked about their first niece and their baby nephew who might come tomorrow until he noticed Kol grabbing his phone. Soon the sound of Kol's laughter filled Klaus's ears while he shot back their glasses and looked at his brother questioningly.

"My girlfriend," he responded. When Klaus looked more confused, his brother handed him his phone.

Kol, do you mind if Caroline and Elena came here? They were looking for someone and it looks like Caroline drank too much last night. In need of chaperone. Please.

Xx, Bonnie

Klaus still didn't get it although he swore his heart stopped beating when he saw the name 'Caroline' on the screen. But he decided it could be anyone, Caroline was a common name. The girl from last night couldn't be the only 'Caroline' Kol knew.

"I don't get it, brother," he said hesitantly to his brother.

"Caroline is this uptight, stick-to-the-plan kind of girl. I never would have pictured her to be the kind of woman who could get drunk. Anyways, I'm gonna make sure there's a car to pick them up from the resort first. Or else Bonnie would have my balls."

"You're disgusting, mate," he mocked while Kol laughed. "Wait your friend never got drunk?"

Kol shrugged. "I don't know, she looked pretty messed up this morning but that girl is like ray of sunshine. She's so damn nice to everyone, except to Damon and me in the beginning."

"A ray of sunshine?" he chuckled. "Not sure you should be calling another girl 'sunshine' when you're planning on purposing, mate."

They both laughed at that and continued talking. At some point they went back to the table with Kol's friends and Bonnie. He knew some of them but he was not in the mood for chatting so he sat on the table, nursing his drink and occasionally piping in on the conversation. His brother got up soon and asked him to accompany him. Bonnie was half drunk and shouting to Kol to pick up their friends at the front of the club. He followed Kol out to the entrance and into the south wing elevator when to gorgeous girls came out of the golden elevator. He knew right away it was the same Caroline who he'd seen last night and had thought of constantly today. She was surprised to see him too although she didn't look like she hated seeing him like he had thought she would. The brunette next to her looked shocked too. Her eyes were widened and she whispered something to Caroline and the blonde merely nodded while keeping eye contact with him. Kol hadn't noticed the tension of the room and smirked at both the girls.

"Well hello, ladies," his brother quipped. " Kol Mikaelson, at your service tonight. Bonnie's indisposed of unfortunately. One too many little girly cocktails." He walked over to Caroline and the brunette, placed a quick kiss on both their hands. "Don't go too hard so I don't have to carry you all back."

Klaus didn't know what to say or what to do so he turned on his heels and went straight back to the club. He didn't go back to the table with Kol's friends, opting for the barstool instead. He still didn't know what to say to Caroline if she talked to him after another glass of scotch but then Kol and the girls never came in.

It was probably for the best, he thought.


Caroline didn't know what to think.

One minute she saw him, and then she was listening to Kol talking when she noticed he was gone. Elena said she had seen also seen him leave so she was sure she wasn't hallucinating. Kol and Elena talked for a little bit after that and then they entered the bar. He was avoiding her, she guessed. He wouldn't just leave if he didn't. She didn't spend too much time looking around and finally found him sitting in one of the futuristic looking barstool.

"Elena, maybe I shouldn't talk to him. There must be a reason why he avoided me."

Elena rolled her eyes while they both sipped their Shirley temples. She had already gotten drunk yesterday and she didn't want to repeat the experience.

"Care, I thought you were looking for him. Aren't you the least bit curious though about what happened?" she asked, looking at Caroline closely.

"No, I think we should just head out."

"We just got here. Another hour please?"

She nodded and they both were finishing their second glasses of the non-alcoholic drink when Elena's decided to get up and dance.

They both went up to the dance floor and danced the night away. They didn't talk to anyone and had to reject a few men that came up to them. By the time they went back to their table, most of Kol's friend had gotten drunk and they called it a night. They made it to the hotel just past midnight and went straight to Caroline's room. They were getting comfy to their satin negligee while telling stories about their lives and Elena's relationship with Stefan.

"So I told Stefan about everything and about the drunk confession and how Damon and I were drunk and I didn't response. I told him that I hit his brother's head with a beer bottle and ran. I'm so sorry, but I also told him about you not allowing me to tell him about the kiss," Elena confessed.

"Why would you do that?" Caroline frowned, not understanding why Elena would sold her out. And she did it not out of anger, more like confusion. Elena always took the blame on other people's messes or hers even if she wasn't the guilty party.

"Because he was kind of mad. He asked me if I had feelings for Damon and when I say no, he didn't believe me. He then explained that if I didn't have feelings for Damon, I'd have told him sooner even after the drunk confession because I knew he was drunk and I should have told him again if I wanted him to know."

"Elena, you're rambling," Caroline said in shock.

"I never did that, didn't I?" Elena questioned herself. She laughed then. "I know, it's your thing but I really like him, Care."

"Then don't worry about it!" she reassured Elena. "Look he was fine right this morning with you?"

Elena nodded before going inside the bedroom and took the sleeping gown she brought and went into the en-suite bathroom.

"You want something to drink?" she shouted from the foyer.

"Do you think it's a good idea?" she shot back.

"No," she mumbled quietly. "I'll make some tea then."

She and Elena went to the massive suite with their tea mug in hand, ready for bed while the television played reruns of Friends.

"You know, I miss this," Elena mumbled half way through the episode.

Caroline turned her head. "What?"

"This, sharing secrets, girls' night, slumber party although this is just like a sleepover." Elena laughed quietly.

"We should thank Kol then," she joked.

"Yeah, I guess," she mumbled sleepily.

After that, she watched the show in comfortable silence and she'd got to admit, watching old episode of a TV series she used to love was better than a Vegas show. Elena fell asleep first after that and as Caroline drifted to sleep, she thought about one person.

The stranger with blue eyes.


About the filler chapter, sorry but I don't want to rush things. No Klaroline moments but I didn't want them to be together too fast.

And for some of you that wanted to know who Klaus fiancée is, I guess I already gave that information away but you will find out more about it soon enough.

Stay tune because up next is gonna be interesting.

Until next time..

XOXO, Ems
