CHAPTER TWO

Neighbour In Disguise

"Hello Caroline. You are Caroline Forbes right?"

Klaus asked.

"Yes. I am how can I help you?"

"I'm Nik. Nik Morgan. I just moved across the hall." He told her a false name and extended his arm for a handshake. Caroline at first suspiciously looked at his hand then with a smile clasped her hand in his. Both felt an electric current shoot through them as soon as their palms touched his hard calloused one to her soft dainty one. The instant jolt recognized by both hence Caroline immediately pulled her hand away and Klaus gave a mischievous smirk.

"Umm. Welcome to the building Mr Morgan."

"Nik. Please call me Nik. And I was actually here because I required your help in a rather urgent matter."

"I'd definitely help you Mr Morgan but as you can see I'm in a hurry to get to work. You can ask someone else to help you." She replied sounding apologetic.

"Wow! I guess what they said about you must be untrue." Klaus said baiting her on purpose.

"Excuse me! What exactly did they say about me? And who are they?" Caroline asked crossing her arms over her chest which didn't go unnoticed by Klaus. That seductive movement of her breasts was again giving rise to his filthy fantasies. What was with him when it came to this blonde nerdy curator? Even now standing a few feet apart from her, with her arms crossed her glasses perched up on her little nose few frown lines on her forehead indicating she was getting miffed, he was going insane about her scent. She smelled like a garden of tangy flavored flowers. God was there even such a thing as tangy flowers and what exactly was askew with his brain it was like it stopped functioning every time he was near her and only thought about kissing her, well more than just kissing but he needed to tame his galloping hormones.

A sound of a stern, "Ahem." brought him back from him his fantasyland of "Make Love To A Nerdy Blonde Curator"

Caroline saw him ogling her breasts but instead of irritating her it was turning her on so more angry at herself she harshly remarked pointing two fingers at her own face , "Mr Morgan eyes up here. And I asked you a question."

Klaus gave a devilish smile and said, "Ah yes. It was Mrs Donavan next door who said Caroline is a rather lovely and a nice girl she would help you for sure. And where I'd one hundred and gazillion percent agree with the lovely part I think she's mistaken about the nice part."

She could feel herself blushing when he called her lovely and mentally chided herself for going all goeey at a backhanded compliment from a sexy British stranger. Purposely working herself in a lather so she could chalk her blushing onto her anger she testily replied, "I am nice and Mrs Donavan is so not wrong about me Mr Morgan."

"Well I'd disagree... "

"And before you give me another backhanded compliment and judge me at the same time I'll say you're wrong. And just to prove I'm nice I've decided to help you." Caroline ranted interrupting him.

"Fantastic. So can you help me figure out how the main switch for the built in air conditioning works?" Klaus asked jerking his thumb back towards his apartment and its open door.

"Of course." She answered between clenched teeth closing her own apartment door with a bang she stormed over to his place.

Ten minutes later she had explained to him how the air conditioning the back up generator the freezer and even the iron worked in a quite a bit of a detail and even had asked him to repeat it after her like a school teacher. And now was turning the light switches up and down and was explaining in a very prim and patronizing voice how to turn a light bulb on. Klaus found it utterly adorable and irking at the same time. He didn't know whether to kiss her or yell at her.

"So you see Mr Morgan the principle of turning a light bulb on is pretty basic you just have to take this knob between your fore finger and thumb and turn it up and down up and down. Now will you please demonstrate it so I can be sure that I've been able to help you nicely!" Caroline remarked her prim schoolteacher voice rising an octave.

Klaus controlled his laugh and proceeded to do turn the switch on. As he moved forward he didn't allow her to move aside and with her back against the wall caged her with one arm at the side of her head staring in her cobalt blue eyes he flicked the switch on and off.

His closeness his intense blue eyes and his musky woodsy scent was clouding her senses and the butterflies in her stomach were doing a jig. She swallowed inaudibly still staring in his eyes. He slightly leaned down and she wondered if he was going to kiss her. What would it be like to kiss him? To grab those curly blonde hair in her hands while he nuzzled her lips with his? But to her disappointment he leaned down and breathed close to her ear "Thank you Caroline". Appalled at her thoughts she moved out from under his arms and annoyed, still affected by him asked in a shaky voice, "Is there anything else i can help you with Mr Morgan? "

"Yes. You can call me Nik. Mr Morgan sounds impersonal don't you think, Caroline?" Klaus replied tucking his hands in his jeans pocket and leaning against the wall.

"Ahh. Okay. I think I should leave. I hope you now know how everything works." she answered and mumbled, "See you never."

Klaus's sharp ears heard what she said and he barked a laugh as she stormed out and closed his door with a loud thud.

This was definitely going to be entertaining he surmised and turned off the lights he had left on.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

"Where have you been Butterscotch? I was worried sick about you. You are late. The maintenance guys have been here for an hour and the cops showed up again." Bill Forbes asked as she entered the gallery area.

"Daddy first off I'm only a half hour late. Second don't worry I'll deal with the maintenance guys and third please don't call me Butterscotch it's embarrassing. "

"It's not that it's just you've never been late I was really worried. You need to let me know if you're okay or not. "

"Daddy stop worrying I'm here now."

"Butterscotch it's just things are not what they seem. It's not safe for you right now to... "

"I'm fine daddy and please stop fretting I'll take care." Caroline replied moving over to hug her father.

"Alright but I meant what I said about you not being safe. You let me know if you notice anything out of the ordinary. Okay?"

"Okay,okay, worrydadums."

Bill smiled when her daughter called him the childhood name she used for him whenever he worried or fussed too much.

"You're my only child I don't want anything to happen to you. So be careful and let me know if anything is wrong." Bill Forbes advised again.

"Oookkkaayyy. I will." Caroline answered and kissed his cheek.

"I have to go for an important meeting. And If you don't want to you don't have to talk to the cops. Okay. "

"Yes daddy now shoo. You'll be late for the meeting." She remarked ushering him with her arm.

"Bye butterscotch. "

"Bye daddy. "

Then turning around she went to her office. Unlocking the door she placed her bag on the table. Taking off her black blazer she rolled the sleeves of her pink shirt up. She rubbed her hands on her black slacks and went out of her office to take stock of all the things that needed to be repaired currently the gallery was a picture of a mess after a hurricane for a moment she felt a pang for all the things ruined and lost but when her assistant April handed her a list of all the things that needed to be renovated and repaired she strengthened her resolve to restore the gallery to its former glory.

CCCKKKCCCCKKKKCCCKKKCCCKKKKK

Klaus Mikealson was busy fishing through Caroline Forbes's closet and was pleased with her taste in lingerie. So Miss Nice Caroline Forbes was also a little naughty. He wasn't a pervert but couldn't help but notice her preference for silk and net. A flash of what she would look like in "just" her lingerie ran through his pervert mind successfully making him horny. He scolded and reminded himself that he was actually rummaging through her closet so he could get through to the safe. He didn't need any gadgets because he knew the code but he still had brought his electromagnetic lockpick set as he preferred to be safer than sorry. He punched in the security code and rotated the handle of the safe but to his disgruntlement it didn't budge. Shoot she had changed the code she was a smart one too but never mind he could crack the safe in a matter of seconds they had yet to build a safe that he couldn't breach he thought to himself. Confidence oozing in his movements he took out an earpiece with a small wire and a diaphragm shaped gadget on its other end and put the earpiece in his left auricle and diaphragm to the metal door of the safe. Just as he was about to figure out the combination to the safe. He heard a familiar sweet voice entering the bedroom.

"Marie curie! Honey Mommy's home." Caroline called out entering the room. Then moving over to her vanity she put her hand bag on it and started stripping.

Klaus could see her through the screen door of her closet. He reminded himself once again that he wasn't a pervert but he couldn't stop himself from taking a peek. As soon as she took of her blazer it felt as if time slowed down and things were happening in slow motion. First she took off her glasses and shook her hair out of her pony tail her blonde tresses cascading down her back. She leisurely undid each button of her pink shirt. Slowly unknowingly tormenting him she let her shirt fall of her shoulders to unveil the shocking pink push up bra she was wearing. The universe was punishing him and blessing him simultaneously. She then took off her slacks and time slowed for Klaus once again. She freed one long sinewy leg then the other and this time revealed hot pink silk panties the ones that tied on the side. He just had to pull one string and he unravel the treasure beneath. He felt hot and cold just watching her strip but the humorous thing was she wasn't even being provocative well except her seductive lingerie. She moved over to the her vanity opened her drawer and changed her belly button stud to a belly button ring biting her lip she mumbled, "Something to cheer myself up. " The universe was definitely planning his slow torturous death cuz it felt like he was going to die of the intense lust coursing through his veins at the moment.

Then crunching her nose said, "Looks okay I guess."

"Okay" "Okay" she looked fucking scorching sizzling blazing hot like freaking fuckable HAWT! and she thought she was okay he contemplated a bit muddled by the innocent striptease in front of him.

Then Caroline moved over to the wardrobe next to her vanity taking out a T shirt that read "I love history you're stupid if you don't. " she quickly put it on. This time it was a plain white shirt with blue writing on it.

Klaus felt an unexplainable disappointment when she covered herself up.

Then she took out bunnie pjs and put them on. Next moment her cat pranced in the room. She picked it up and started cuddling it once again her voice turning him on.

His phone vibrated inside his pocket he thanked his stars that she hadn't even come close to the closet much less opened it. She went out of her bedroom. Klaus took out his phone and saw a text from Kol that read "Drop it and show up at the Mansion asap."

Klaus cursed the same stars he was thanking a moment ago. He texted back "Diversion action" a code that Kol knew meant that he needed to create a distraction for Klaus to escape.

Kol replied "U owe me 2" with a smirking devil emogi which translated that Klaus owed him twice now.

Klaus replied with a middle finger emoji.

After a second he heard a knock at Caroline's apartment door and he heard her politely arguing with a C

hinese delivery guy that she hadn't ordered the Chicken Chowmin. Klaus couldn't help but smile at her attempt at being nice and then escaped through her bedroom window.

KCKCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"What was so urgent that you fucking texted me in the middle of an assignment?" Klaus growled at Kol entering the living room of the Mansion which was also their home.

Kol who was lounging on the couch cross legged jerked his thumb towards Mikeal who entered the living room and took a place at the throne chair specifically designed for him.

"Niklaus son I wouldn't have interrupted if it weren't of utmost urgency."

"Father please cut to the chase. " Klaus announced turning to face his father.

" The Suzerain has agreed to my request to grant you another chance but they insist on meeting with you first." Mikeal replied gravely.

"Phenomenal." Klaus answered not bothering to hide his excitement.

"Don't be too exhilarated son. They are a bunch of formidable stick ups they won't take your confidence as a jest. In fact they abhor patrons who are over smart. " Mikeal warned his son.

"Father stop worrying for once. I can handle this. How soon till I have an audience with those crones? " Klaus replied haughtily.

"Now. They are coming to take you. "

Next moment three men dressed in black suits entered the living room. One came forward and just as was about to shove a black paper cloth over his head Klaus kicked him square in his guts and grabbed the cloth mid-air from him. Just as the other two moved forward to fight he wore it on his head announcing, "Nobody bosses me around. I go on my own terms."

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

(TWO HOURS LATER)

Klaus was sitting in front of a trio of two men and a woman all handsome looking. He judged that they were in their mid-forties almost. He only recognized one named Professor Shane among them because he had an old score to settle with him. From the look of Shane's face he wasn't much pleased to see Klaus sitting in front of them.

The woman seemed to be of Korean descent but was definitely stunning who was sitting in the middle. The other guy was African-American and was bald. He had an anaconda resting on his shoulders. On any other guy it would have looked hilarious but it gave him a forbidding air. He was seated on Pearl's right and Shane on her left.

They were in a hall with absolutely no windows and a single door. A wooden table was placed in the center of the room where the three Suzerain members were sitting and a chair where Klaus was sitting a few feet away from them.

The woman spoke first, "Niklaus Mikealson aka Wolf of Death. That is your what do you say professional moniker is it?"

"Yes it is."

"I'm Pearl and what they call me professionally is something beyond your status... " Pearl announced in a patronising tone.

"I'd say it isn't after all I am going to be your future superior Pearl is it. " Klaus replied with a haughty smirk.

Professor Shane snickered at that and the bald guy gave out a hearty laugh and said, "I like you boy. You can call me Papa Tundae."

"Papa he is over confident and I'd say over confidence is over rated in our line of work." Shane remarked.

"Well I beg to differ Shane... " Klaus replied but was interrupted by him who said, "That's Professor Shane to you. You're not the Sovereign yet little lad."

"Exactly I'm not yet but once I am I won't beg for respect unlike some. And as I was saying there is no such thing as too much confidence."

Klaus replied and Tundae's snake hissed as if in agreement with Klaus's argument.

"I agree but I guess you lacked confidence and resolution since you couldn't manage a meager task of recovering a diamond bracelet from Miss Forbes's apartment and ending her life once you were done." Pearl said.

"Did I? It seems quiet contrary from where I'm sitting. Seems to me my "So called" lack of confidence and resolution earned me an exclusive meeting with two of the most respected patrons of The Suzerain." Klaus replied purposely leaving Shane out.

Papa Tundae laughed again and remarked, "Smart boy. It's very crafty of you the way you argued your failure to be your success. Makes one wonder if one should take you at your word or not? "

"I'd let you decide Mr Tundae." Klaus remarked. "But we want to see if your all bark and no bite or not Mr Wolf of Death. " Shane proceeded.

"Yes Mr Mikealson. We want you too fulfill your last assignment and for that we will give you a week... " Pearl was interrupted by Shane who added, "Make that two I still have doubts about his abilities."

"Okay it's settled you have two weeks to prove your metal. And as a confirmation we would require Miss Forbes head and her hand adorned with that bracelet." Pearl remarked a sinister smile gracing her features.

Klaus felt a little jolt to his heart at hearing her say she wanted someone as pure and kind hearted as Caroline to die but effectively managed to ignore it. He answered, "Of course that would a walk in the park."

"Well then expect your fate to be sealed in two weeks Mr Mikealson. It could be for better or for worse depending upon your performance. Consider yourself dismissed." Pearl remarked.

"Thank you and you have my word I would either kill her or die and that is my pledge to The Suzerain." Klaus vowed and the smiles on the patrons' faces let him know that he had pleased them.

He would have to kill her whether he liked it or not because his destiny was resting on her life or more exactly her death but why would he not like it? Why was he cajoling himself into taking her life? Never before had he hesitated not even once. So why was he vacillating now he thought to himself getting up from his seat he turned around to leave but something hit the back of his head forcefully and suddenly everything blacked out.
