Klaus had been in his dream world since last night and had forgotten all about Hayley. He was supposed to pick her up from her monthly check up at the hospital. She called him saying she wanted to talk because things couldn't go on like they were right now. Klaus told Hayley he wasn't in town and that he would be back this evening, so he could spend the day with the girl that he just spend the best night of his life with.
Caroline woke up by the little glimpse of sunshine that was shining in her face. She yawned and stretched out. She turned around to see if Klaus was still sleeping. There was no one there. Did he just leave after that great night they had?
She put on her bathrobe and walked down the stairs. Her mouth was extremely dry and she walked straight to the kitchen to get some coffee. She saw a note laying on the table saying;
Good morning, Love.
I went to get you some coffee and breakfast,
I'll be back before you know it
K
She couldn't stop smiling. Not just because of the note, but because of everything that has happened. She walked over to the couch and laid down on it.
"Care, are you up, love?" Klaus asked while walking in Caroline's apartment with two mugs of coffee and some bagels. He laid them on the table and saw Caroline sleeping on the couch. He smiled. Just seeing her made him feel happy. He walked over to the couch and sat on the ground next to it. Stroking Caroline's cheek, quietly waking her up. "It's time to wake up, my dear. I got breakfast and coffee."
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Klaus sitting in front of her.
"Good morning, Klaus." She said while giving him a kiss.
He stood up and grabbed the mugs and the bagels. He sat down next to her, with his arm around her handing her, her breakfast.
"How did you sleep?" he asked her while taking a zip of his coffee.
"Great! Haven't had such a good sleep in months. And never had such a good night as yesterday." She giggled while having a blush on her cheeks.
"I feel the same way, Caroline. Last night was special. You are special."
"So what do you want to do today?" Klaus asked while walking out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapped around him.
God, what was he beautiful.
"Wanna go bowling?" she asked while doing her make-up.
"Whatever you want, darling."
They got in the car, ready to go bowling.
"Just so you know, I suck at bowling. So don't laugh at me!" Caroline said giggling.
"It's okay, my love. I bet you'll still kick my ass." He laughed.
Klaus was right. Caroline won from Klaus with bowling. They decided to get something to eat at a restaurant nearby.
"Remind me to never bowl with you again." Klaus said while giving Caroline a friendly push as they walked towards the restaurant.
"I thought I was bad, but you, oh you really suck at it." Caroline said while pushing him back and laughing. She had so much fun today. She knew Klaus was fun, but not this fun. The whole time they were bowling she died of laughter. The guy at the bowling place said they were a really cute couple. It was weird to think people saw them as a couple because she had never thought about that. Well of course she had thought about it how it would be to be a couple, but she didn't think that other people would think they were.
They walked in the restaurant and sat down at the last empty table.
"You sit, I have to go to the bathroom otherwise I'll explode." Caroline said while giving Klaus a kiss on his cheek.
Klaus looked at Caroline while she was walking to the bathroom. He admired the way she looked so much. The way her hips moved as she walked away. Klaus found himself daydreaming of her. His daydream was interrupted by his phone ringing.
"Klaus, I need to see you NOW. It's urgent." Hayley said. She sounded scared. "What's wrong, Hayley?" he asked her. "I won't say it over the phone. Please come, right now. We need to talk. It's about Joseph and his safety." Klaus got chills through his body. There was something wrong with his son. "Okay, I'll be there soon." Klaus said while hanging up the phone. His hands were running through his hair, something he always did when he was stressed or nervous.
He stood up and put on his jacket. "Where you going?" Caroline was back from the bathroom and looked at Klaus confused.
"I have to go, there is something with Joseph. I'll call you tonight." He gave her a fast kiss and walked away.
He grabbed his keys and opened the door. He came as fast as he could. There he saw Hayley sitting at the kitchen table playing with Joseph. "Hayley! I'm here." Klaus said while Joseph ran his way and jumped in his arms. He gave him a kiss and walked over to Hayley.
"So.. Tell me. " He said while putting Joseph back on the floor. "Sit down Klaus." Hayley said without even looking at him.
"I've been thinking about this a while. We're living in New Orleans. It's like the city for supernatural beings. It's no place to raise a kid. I don't want to bring Joseph in any danger. So that's why I decided we should move. I found a place in the east. It has a great school and no supernatural stuff whatsoever. It's the best thing for Joseph, Klaus." Hayley said, she still hadn't looked at Klaus. She was afraid of his reaction. That he wouldn't come with her. Joseph needed them both but she just couldn't stay in New Orleans.
Klaus was running his fingers through his hair as he paced around the room. "How long have you been planning this?" He asked her after a couple of minutes not speaking. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to leave New Orleans. This was the only place he felt home. It was his favourite place in the whole world. And his favourite girl in the whole world was here.
"A couple of months. I needed to figure out what was the best thing for Joseph. You and I both want the best for him, right? That's why we need to do this." She said while standing up and looking him straight in the eyes.
She was right. They both wanted the best for Joseph. He had no choice. He had to go with them.
"You are right, Hayley. We both want the best for him, and if this is really the best thing for him right now. We have no choice but to go, even if it means leaving everything behind." With everything he mostly meant Caroline. He had no idea how to tell her this. He didn't even know if he could tell her. He knows he wouldn't be able to look her in the eyes after telling her. She was the girl he loves. And he finally knows she feels the same way. How was he supposed to tell her he had to leave her behind to move away with Hayley.
"When do we leave?" Klaus said while he picked up Joseph and held him in his arms.
"Tomorrow, that's why I said it was urgent."
