Caroline was stunned. She was not able to utter a single word. What was he doing here? The last time she had seen him, he was speeding away from her to kill twelve hybrids. He had not said good-bye when he left Mystic Falls and had never tried to contact her again. But suddenly he was standing in front of her kissing her and talking to her like they were old friends.

When she did not answer his greeting but continued to stare at him he said: "I am sorry if I interrupted you doing something important but my meeting is already over and I thought you might want more company than just your computer."

The familiarity with which he addressed her stunned her. After a few moments she shook of her speechlessness and said aggressively: "What are you doing here?"

"Caroline, I told you this morning that I had a meeting and would see you tonight. But my meeting ended earlier so I stopped by at this lovely coffee shop assuming that I would find you here. And here you are." He answered in a patient tone that she found rather unusual for him.

"You told me this morning?" she shrieked.

He frowned: "Yes, love. When I got up and you stayed in bed to snuggle just a little bit more." He grinned at her.

She snorted. "Nice try, Klaus! But I am fairly certain that I woke up this morning to the sound of construction workers and their loud hammers and not to the sound of you getting up. Therefore I definitely did not snuggle just a little bit more!" She closed her laptop in an angry motion and started gathering her things.

"Caroline!" he exclaimed. "What are you talking about? There are no construction workers next to my building. Maybe you dreamt it."

"Your building?" she said annoyed while getting up to leave. "I was definitely not in your building this morning. I was sleeping alone in my own bed in my own apartment in my own building!" She grabbed her bag and passed around the other side of the table to leave the coffeehouse. He tried to stop her by catching her arm. He did not use force but still stopped her. She looked at his hand on her arm and was overcome by the feeling of having this situation experienced before. She shook of the dejá-vu and his hand and walked towards the exit. She heard him call her name but he did not try to stop her from walking out of the door and away from him.

She walked down the avenue as quickly as she was able in her black pumps. What the hell was he thinking? She had not heard from him in over six months and she had not expected to hear from him anytime soon. Although she was aware of his small infatuation with her she had never assumed it was anything serious especially not after he had left the town without saying goodbye. It had become quite clear to her after he left that although she had secretly enjoyed his admiration she would have never given in to it. Too many things had happened that could not be forgiven. But suddenly he turned up here in her new city and claimed that she had woken up in his bed this morning. Thinking about it she realized it had sounded as if that had not been a once-in-a –lifetime-experience. It had sounded like she was waking up every morning next to him. She snorted at his ridiculous attempt to get her interest. She did not deny that there had been a certain attraction to him when they were still in Mystic Falls but she was way over that. Hell, she was in a country were having only having blonde hair made you attractive by definition. She did not need Klaus Mikaelson to feel admired and to have fun.

Suddenly she felt hungry as if the meeting with Klaus had reminded her that she was no ordinary young woman but a vampire whose diet differentiated from a mere humans. She had not checked her blood stack this morning but she was fairly certain it was diminishing. Therefore she decided to make a quick visit to the closest hospital. It was one of the private more fancy ones that even had security. She secretly chuckled to herself. Even if they knew who she was and more importantly what she wanted they do nothing to could not stop her. She decided to try to charm her way into the hospital instead of using compulsion immediately. From time to time she enjoyed the fact that even without the compulsion she could make a man do whatever she wanted. This time it was no different.

"Hello, I am here to visit my friend Anna. She has been here since yesterday." She said in a perfect way with a smile on her face. The attendant looked at her admiringly and it took him a moment to get started searching in his computer.

"I am sorry but there is no patient with the name Anna that was admitted yesterday." He told her after a while.

She pouted and said: "Are you sure? Maybe it is a different name. You know she does not speak the language very well and maybe somebody got her name wrong. She does not know anybody in the city except me and is probably very lonely now. I just want to visit her quickly."

He nodded and then looked at the innocent looking girl in front of him. She seemed like a foreigner too and rather young. What problems could she make? He held out his hands to her and asked for her papers. She was already sick of her little game and simply used compulsion on him to let her enter the patient's floor. She was no big fan of hospitals. The smell of disinfection and sickness repulsed her but it was necessary for her current diet. She quickly located the blood storage room and packed some of the bags into her purse. She waited a little bit and waved to the attendant when she left the building. He waved back and smiled happy that she had remembered him. In a much better mood she started to descend the hill towards her home.

"Since when are you back on blood bags?" asked a voice right next to her suddenly. Although she was surprised she did not show. There was no need to move her head to know it was Klaus who had apparently followed her to the hospital and made his own conclusions.

"When have I ever fed of something else except the occasional animal?" she asked him back in a more than annoyed tone.

"Caroline, in the past few months you have not fed of a blood bag. We have always found a better way to nourish ourselves." He grinned at her clearly enjoying that thought. It took her a moment to realize what he meant. She stopped walking and turned angrily towards him. "I have most definitely not fed of a human. At least not like that and I have absolutely not been feeding together with you!" With a furious step she started walking again towards her home

He grabbed her arm again to stop her and turned her back to him. This time he was actually using some of his supernatural strength but still without hurting her. He looked her in the face and growled slightly: "Caroline, this was funny and interesting for a while but if you want to do a role play where I have to chase you, you might want to tell me before. Otherwise I might take this the wrong way."

"Role playing? Are you insane? I have not seen you in over half a year and I don't know what is going on with you but I am also not very interested to find out."

He starred at her: "We have been spending the past six months together. We met when you had just arrived in the country and decided to hate it. I tried to convince you of the contrary and showed you this city. You instantly fell in love with it. You know all that and everything else that happened between us. What is going on with you?"

"What is going on with me?" she screamed. "You are obviously making up stories to confuse me. I have been spending my time alone in this city and have been exploring it alone. You had no impact on that! I have not seen you in six months and I had hoped it would stay that way."

She jerked her arm away from him and started running towards home. She left behind an utterly confused Original.

When she arrived at her building she was secretly happy that her doorman recognized her and let her in without hesitation. In the elevator she met Mrs. Juliana Silva an elderly lady with an unknown number of cats who lived in the apartment below hers. She greeted her.

"Hello, Mrs. Juliana. How are you today?"

"Well thank you Caroline I am very well. I haven't seen you in a while. You seem to have spent quite some time at your boyfriend's apartment." She gave her a secretive little smile.

"My boyfriend's home? I beg you pardon, you must have me confused with someone else. I don't have a boyfriend."

"Oh, so that nice young blonde man is not your boyfriend? Well, I am sorry but with you young people one may never know what is a relationship and what is not." The elevator stopped on the seventh floor and Mrs. Juliana left the elevator calling: "Have a nice day, Caroline!"

Caroline stood in the elevator completely confused. What had just happened?

Has someone picked up in which city and country they are? If you have a guess send me a PM. I'll keep on dropping hints. The title of this story is by the way a hint as well. Love, Santavica
