Thank you all so much for the reviews! I really appreciate it! I'm really loving all the feedback and your thoughts with the rules. Just so you all know, there are only 10 rules so yes, this story will only be 10 chapters long. I also have some ideas for other stories, but right now, I'm focusing on this and nothing more.
So here's chapter three! I hope you guys enjoy it!
Rule No. 3
If you don't feel comfortable dancing naked with your partner
and showing them your four chins when you laugh – you're doing it wrong.
"Good morning, my love," Klaus murmured against Caroline's soft skin. His arm was draped over her side while she shifted on the bed so that she was now facing Klaus. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled, as she looked over towards the window where the sun shone brought. For a moment, she had forgotten the two of them were naked, after the never-ending physical activities they had participated in the night before. The blonde shimmied closer to her boyfriend, pulling up the thin white sheet over her body to shield her from the morning air that crept through the creak in their window. She nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck and replied, "Good morning, handsome."
It was now 9 o clock in the morning and the two still laid in bed together, wrapped up and tangled in each other's arms and legs, keeping warmth and sharing kisses underneath the white sheet. As much as Klaus enjoyed running his hand down her form, taking in every inch of her, he knew it was time for them to get out of bed. And as much as Caroline wanted to straddle him like the night before, she frowned because she knew Klaus was right.
The two finally rolled out of bed on their designated sides. Caroline wrapped the sheet over her body while Klaus stood up and walked over to his dresser where he pulled out a pair of sweatpants. She glanced over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of him.
"I like you better with no sweatpants," she said with a smile.
Klaus twisted his torso so that he faced her and he smirked. "Well, love, sheets are meant to cover the bed, not your body." Caroline gave him a look before getting up and walking towards their connected bathroom. From there, she called out, "I'll be in here if you need me." And not even a second later, she tossed the white sheet out so that it landed on the bed, knowing full well that Klaus had been watching.
After she turned the hot water on, she suddenly felt a pair of large, calloused hands grip her waist and pull her into the shower. With a smirk on her face, she looked up at Klaus who had decided to ditch the sweatpants and join her for a morning shower.
"You're supposed to make breakfast, mister," she raised a brow at him while her hands held onto his shoulders.
Once the water started heating up, he shut the glass door and pushed against the shower wall and dropped to his knees. She looked down at him with a small smile and ran her fingers through his already damp hair. Klaus ran his hands down her sides until he reached her legs and parted them slowly while gazing up at his beauty with a devilish grin.
"How many times do I have to tell you, sweetheart? You are breakfast."
– KLAROLINE –
Their shower had lasted longer than expected, but the countless positions they found themselves in and the multiple orgasms produced inside there were worth having to finish off with cold water spewing all over their bodies.
Klaus didn't even mind the fact there was going to be a slight dent in his wallet due to the water bill.
He followed Caroline back into their bedroom, his eyes gazing down her back with water droplets still falling from the ends of her hair. The towel she used to cover herself up was just short enough for him to catch a glimpse of her perky bottom every time she took a step forward.
As Caroline walked over to her own dresser, she tossed the towel onto their bed and pulled out a pair of simply panties. After sliding them on, she walked over to Klaus where he was back in his grey sweatpants. She wrapped her arms around him from behind and kissed his back. "Can I borrow one of your shirts, Nik?" She asked softly, her lips brushing lightly against his skin.
"There's no need for you to wear my shirt, darling." He turned around with a smile and took Caroline's hand, spinning her around the room before pulling her into his arms. She threw her head back and laughed and wrapped her other arm around his back. Dancing. Something the two did often. It didn't have to be fancy; music didn't have to play in the background. Whenever the two thought the time was perfect, Klaus would either twirl her around, or Caroline would step on his feet and allow him to take the lead around the house. Naked or clothed, they would dance together.
"But I'm cold," she replied as she pressed the side of her face against his chest.
Indeed, she was cold. As he held her close, Klaus felt her taut nipples press up against his abdomen while he caressed her bare back. He kissed the top of her head and pulled away from Caroline to retrieve one of her favorite t-shirts from his drawer. Running his tongue over his lips, he stood facing her and bunched up the shirt in his hands so that his fingers found the armholes to make it easier.
"Arms up, love," he said softly and she did as he was told.
Caroline looked up at Klaus and raised her arms in the air and felt him pull the material through her arms and down her body until it hung comfortably over her frame. She bit down on her lip and pressed a kiss to his chest before pulling away.
"Breakfast time?" He called out as he watched her walk away, the swaying of his t-shirt causing the man to smirk.
"Yes! Hurry! I'm starving!" Caroline shouted from the hallway.
– KLAROLINE –
"So tell me again why you're so opposed to your sister dating Matt? We all know he's the sweetest guy and from their many Instagram pictures, they seem pretty happy with each other." Caroline was sitting on a bar stool as she played around with her laptop while Klaus stood by the stove, finishing up the breakfast that she had craved since the moment they both woke up.
He shook his head and moved the bacon around with a fork. "You honestly think the Quarterback can keep up with my baby sister's constant need to move around? She can never stand still, you know. Rebekah must be always on her toes."
Caroline rolled her eyes. "Oh, I'm sure he is capable of keeping up with her. They compliment each other nicely. Matt's a laid-back, small town boy and Rebekah is a big city girl with a very busy schedule."
"Sounds like someone else…" mumbled Klaus.
She laughed and continued to browse the Internet. "Except I'm a small town girl and you're the big city boy. And you're far from laid-back. You're so serious and your scowl can scare a flock of birds, in case you didn't know."
"Excuse me." Klaus turned to face Caroline, his brow lifted as he placed the fork on a nearby plate. He pressed his lips into a thin line as he made his way towards the blonde, his arms going straight for her sides, causing her to squirm in his grasp.
"Don't-" she laughed. "Touch me!" Caroline shut her eyes and laughed even harder once Klaus began tickling her sides, which he knew was her most ticklish spot. A smirk was now displayed on his face as he watched Caroline wiggle her way out of his hold, but she failed. "The bacon! You're burning the bacon!"
"The bacon's fine, love." He replied nonchalantly once he ceased with the tickling. Taking in a deep breath to calm herself down, Caroline sat up straight and shot Klaus a look before placing her hands over his and removing them off her waist.
"You know I hate being tickled," she said, her eyes narrowing at his.
Klaus rested his elbow on the counter and leaned down to mirror Caroline's fixated gaze. "And I hate being reminded of how scary my scowl is."
With that, he flashed her a smirk before turning back to the stove to transfer the bacon from the pan onto a plate. There was a certain way Caroline liked her bacon and only Klaus had perfected it, but only after thirty times of practicing it. It was a complicated process to get the perfect crisp, but somehow Klaus was able to get it right that thirtieth time. He had worked harder since Caroline joked with him, saying that bad bacon was a deal breaker.
Walking back to the counter with a plateful of bacon, Klaus held it in front of the blonde as a way of gaining her attention, which worked, of course. Caroline averted her eyes off the laptop screen and onto the beautiful plate of bacon held before her. As she leaned towards it, inhaling the wonderful smell, Klaus retracted his arm causing the blonde to inhale absolutely nothing.
"What the hell?" She looked up at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm sorry, my love. Did you want some of my bacon?" He smirked as he walked around her stool and planted himself on the one beside her, placing the plate directly in front of him while he reached over for the box of orange juice.
"It's Sunday morning. On Sunday mornings, bacon is mine. You already had your breakfast," she said as she turned to face him, her arms still crossed.
Klaus swiveled the bar stool so that he was facing her as well, his knees barely touching the sides of her legs. He grabbed a strip of bacon and stuck it in his mouth with a smirk. "Yes, but I must admit, this breakfast is even more satisfying."
Caroline sat there with her mouth gaped towards her boyfriend.
He surely was an ass.
"Just give me my bacon!" She cried out. Klaus chewed on the strip of bacon before swallowing and broke into a fit of laughter. He loved playing around with her, especially on their lazy days. It seemed fitting.
However, he still refused to share his bacon, which caused Caroline to pull her laptop towards her and open up the webcam.
"Video Diary number twelve," she started. Klaus looked over at wait a lifted brow while he shook his head.
"My ass of a boyfriend won't share the bacon, which is clearly mine since it's Sunday morning. He's sitting right beside me, eating it all in front of me, and not even feeling remotely guilty."
"Caroline, love, what the hell are you doing?" Klaus rested his elbow on the counter and leaned it to see himself on the screen.
"Get out of the frame!" She shoved Klaus with her shoulder and recomposed herself.
She took a breath and smiled into the camera. "So remember when I said I would show him the video I had filmed of myself that one night he was stuck at the office…"
Klaus turned to face the blonde again, the strip of bacon dropping from his two fingers.
" – Well if he thinks I would show him now, he's fucking wrong." The blonde laughed and ended the video there.
"You filmed a video for me?"
She shrugged her shoulders and reached for a strip of bacon, only to feel her wrist being grabbed by Klaus' hand. "I don't think so, love."
"God, just give me the fucking bacon!" Caroline huffed and pouted before giving in and resting her arm against Klaus' chest, her wrist still in his hold. He gave her a look and raised the strip he held in his hand up to her mouth. "Here," he said, waving it in front of her.
Caroline used her free hand to grab the bacon, guiding it into her mouth and chewed it. Finally, she got what she wanted. Why was Klaus being so damn difficult, she thought.
She hopped off the bar stool and walked over to raise the volume on the built-in radio dock. Some Top 40 pop song had blared through the speakers, filling the kitchen with its cheesy lyrics and overused pop tunes. Caroline ran her hands through her hair as she walked over to Klaus where she caught him rolling his eyes to the song lyrics. He was never a fan of Top 40 songs where Caroline found it to be okay for days like this.
"I hate you," she simply said, grabbing another strip and munching down on it.
He leaned forward and pressed a kiss on her cheek. "I hate you too."
"Well since you've eaten all of my bacon…" she grabbed on his hands, motioning him to get off the stool, but he refused. "Think again."
"No, get up. Now." With all of her strength, she tried to pull the man off the stool, but she sighed in defeat. He had put all of his weight onto the chair, making it difficult for her to drag him off.
"Please!" She added and Klaus laughed. He watched his girlfriend struggle with every pull and every huff she let out and since he did eat most of the bacon, he believed it was the least he could do to see her smile.
"Fine," Klaus hopped off the stool and followed Caroline as she pulled him towards the middle of the kitchen, a smile slowly spreading on his face.
Caroline turned to face Klaus, their hands still holding onto each other and once they looked up at each other, the song that was currently playing had a beat that was easy to dance to. So what did Caroline do?
She danced.
The blonde twirled around the kitchen floor, the hem of Klaus' t-shirt lifting and twirling with every spin she made. He watched her in awe and admired everything about her. Klaus stood there with his arms crossed against his chest as Caroline danced, without a care in the world, in the middle of their kitchen to a song that had the worst lyrics to ever be written. He found her outlook on life to be the most beautiful thing. She was the most carefree girl he had the pleasure of meeting and her positivity on every little thing made him rethink the choices he had made in the past. As he watched her dance around, eyes shut, with a smile on her face, he couldn't help but join her, reaching for her hand to twirl her around and hearing that adorable laugh of hers emit with every spin.
Caroline threw her head back and laughed even louder once she felt Klaus' hands go around her waist. He pulled her close and swayed around the area every time the pop song played its chorus. It was a ridiculous song, he thought, but it was a good song to dance to.
"How about I fry some more bacon?" Klaus asked as he spun Caroline out of his hold.
She shook her head as she spun back into his chest, her arms wrapping around his torso. "Forget the bacon..."
As he held her close, he rested the side of his face on top of her head. "I love you, Caroline," he said to her while his hands slipped underneath her t-shirt. He felt her shiver at his touch, which caused her to pull away from him with a smile. "And I love you too… I guess…"
Klaus raised a brow at her.
Caroline got on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against the corner of his mouth. "Okay, okay. I love you too."
– KLAROLINE –
The two had spent the rest of the morning dancing in the middle of the kitchen along to five different Top 40 songs before Klaus went to change it to one appropriate song, which was softer and more pleasing to the ears. He took Caroline's hand and spun her around, performing every dance move he excelled at before pulling her back in to slowly sway around. There were times she stepped on his toes, which caused him to hiss and Caroline only laughed in response.
The time read half past noon and so Klaus bent down and slung the blonde over his shoulder, resting his hand over her bottom and bringing her into the living room. He carefully dropped her on the sofa and then he fell down beside her.
"What was that for? The dancing was nice." She said with a sigh while her arms wrapped around Klaus' shoulders, pulling him down onto her lap. Shifting himself on the sofa, he gently rested the back of his head on her lap and looked up at her with a grin.
"Maybe I'm just out of breath. You're quite the dancer, you know." He chuckled as he raised his hand to caress the side of her face.
"That's what six years of dance training does to you." Caroline smiled down at him and leaned into his touch. "Maybe you can give me a foot rub?" She asked, raising a brow.
Klaus shut his eyes and continued to chuckle. "Maybe you can give me one?"
"Yeah, right." She shook her head and reached for her phone that was placed on the coffee table in front of them. Opening up the camera app, she faced the camera onto Klaus, who had his eyes closed, and snapped a few pictures. Once he heard the shutter noise come from her phone, Klaus' eyes flew open and he quickly sat up.
He reached for her phone. "Snapping photos of me?"
Caroline laughed and extended her arm out far from his reach. "Yeah, because you're my boyfriend and I want the world to see." She said with a roll of her eyes.
Klaus leaned forward and pressed his lips against her neck while his hands snaked around her waist, figuring out this was one way to stop Caroline taking unwanted photos of him. While he was pressing feather light kisses along her neck, he heard the shutter noise again and again. Chuckling against her skin, he nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck in defeat. "You're impossible, love."
Caroline snickered again as she ran her free hand through the back of Klaus' head. "Come on, let's take a few pictures. We can show your sister and Matt who the cutest couple really is."
Sitting up with his back against the cushions, he wrapped his arm around Caroline's shoulder and pulled her down close so that the side of his face rested against the side of her head. He watched as Caroline held the camera out in front of them but at a fair distance, getting both of their faces and part of their upper halves in the frame. She moved in closer to him and smiled.
"Smile, okay?" She gave Klaus a look through the screen and he nodded.
"One… two… three…." Snap!
Caroline pulled the phone towards her and opened up the camera roll, hoping to see a cute photo she can post online for their friends and family to see, but instead she was looking at a picture of her smiling while Klaus stuck his tongue out with his eyes shut.
"Klaus!" She laughed and turned to face him, shoving her shoulder into his chest gently. She looked back at the photo and tilted her head slightly. "You're adorable."
"Another?" He asked, pressing a kiss on the top of her head.
"Yes, please." Caroline positioned herself closer to Klaus and held her arms out again, facing the camera towards the two and pressed the shutter button.
When the two looked down to view the photo, they both cocked their heads back in laughter. Klaus reached for the phone with his free hand and brought it closer to his face, squinting his eyes to view it better. Caroline, on the other hand, continued to laugh.
"You have three chins in this picture, love." Klaus pointed out and handed the phone back to Caroline, who now regained calmness. Wrapping her hand around the device, she looked down at it again before shaking her head.
"Look at you! You're nostrils are flared out so wide!" The blonde snorted out a few minutes more until she finally nuzzled her head into Klaus' chest. The two looked back at the photo and grinned.
"I like it." Klaus said softly, his fingers caressing Caroline's skin.
"I like it too." She replied, her eyes never leaving the screen.
Taking in a deep breath to help his heart get back to its normal pace, he pressed a kiss to Caroline's temple and reached his arm out, taking a hold of the other side of the phone so that they both held it.
"Actually, your three chins are quite lovely." He commented.
"And your flared out nostrils is the hottest thing ever."
He watched Caroline play around with the picture. He watched her go through the process of editing it, which probably took a bit longer than expected. He was amazed at how much patience girls had when it came to finding the perfect filter for a photo. There were times he wanted to blurt out how one filter was fine, but he refrained. He didn't want to take Caroline out of her element.
Then there was the process of finally uploading the photo with a caption, which, in Klaus' opinion, was the easiest step in uploading a photo. For Caroline, however, it seemed to take longer than picking out a filter.
"Bloody hell, Caroline, just put 'Klaus and I'."
She shot him a look. "That's so incredibly boring. Nobody will like the picture!"
He said no more and waited patiently until she finally typed something up, then positing it seconds later. Sighing, Klaus pulled her closer and shut his eyes. "And your caption was...?"
Caroline turned over so that her arms wrapped around his shoulders. "My goofy looking boyfriend and I." She said with a smile.
Klaus opened his eyes and gave his girlfriend a look. Normally, their Sunday mornings went a lot smoother. This morning was a little out of the ordinary, but that was what made it fun for them both. Klaus would make breakfast while Caroline would complain about having an early start the next morning, the two of them would wash up and then spend time catching up on their TV shows, but thinking back on how they spent this morning put a smile on his face. There was dancing in the middle of the kitchen to the countries worst top 40 and then there was playful banter with the bacon. Then there was something about how Caroline filmed a video for Klaus...
"Love," The thought caused Klaus to run his tongue over his bottom lip.
The blonde looked up at him. "Hmm?"
He felt the ends of his lips curl upward as he thought about what she had said. Then slowly, he remembered the night he stayed late at the office and how when he came back home, he found Caroline laying on their bed with nothing on. Memories of ravishing her the moment he dropped his briefcase flooded his mind. But what she had done to her herself prior to him arriving was what he wanted to see. Oh, how badly he wanted to watch that video now...
Caroline blinked up at him and all Klaus did was smirk. "Care to share that video with me?"
Hope you guys liked it! Sorry if it didn't really match up with the rule. I sort of wrote this in a hurry and wanted to finish it before I started the week, but then I ended up posted it today (Wednesday) GO ME.
Leave some reviews! Tell me what you think!
