Caroline opened her eyes slowly and smiled at the feeling of Klaus' arms wrapped around her body. She shifted slightly and yawned. She felt Klaus move behind her and she twisted her body so they were facing each other. He opened his eyes and smiled back at her.
"Good morning, love." He said as she leaned forward and kissed him on the nose. She still couldn't believe that she was in love with him, but it felt so right. She moved her kisses down from his nose to his mouth. She was smiling as she kissed him, and so was he. He pulled back from her.
"What would you like for breakfast?" He asked warmly.
"Anything. Just order room service." She placed another kiss on his nose and sat up; stretching her arms.
Klaus sat up with her before getting out of bed and walking into the other room of their suite, leaving Caroline in the bedroom. She got up and followed him into the other room, not caring that she was half-naked. She could hear Klaus ordering food on the phone. When he finished the call, he walked back over to her.
"I guess we have to go out and buy you some new clothes..." He said, remembering that they left their stuff at the last hotel.
"We can do that later today. What did you order for breakfast?"
"French toast, waffles, fruits... Maybe a young boy or two." He grinned at her as she hit him playfully and giggled. A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Klaus walked over to it and opened it as two boys wheeled in carts full of food.
"Klaus! That's a lot of food!"
"Well I wanted to make sure it took more than one person to deliver!" Caroline rolled her eyes and wondered why the boys were looking at her so strangely before realizing why. She was only wearing a bra and underwear.
"Oh! Oops!" She walked over to grab a blanket and cover herself, but Klaus stopped her.
"Love, it doesn't matter, you'll just stain it. Come." He closed the door and laughed at the boys' looks. He grabbed one of them and looked him in the eye. "Stay still, mate." And then he extended his canines and bit into him. Caroline grabbed the other boy and did the same. After finishing, they made them forget and let them leave. "Now how about some waffles?"
Caroline smiled and nodded before sitting down. Klaus picked up some trays and plates and set them down in front of her on the table. Then he sat down across from her and said, "Let's eat."
In about 20 minutes they had finished half of the food. Klaus got up and put the plates back on the carts and wheeled them out into the hall. Caroline looked at his still shirtless body and smiled slightly before remembering her own bareness. "Clothes. I need clothes."
"Do you want me to go alone, or can you wear the dress from last night?" She looked down at her dress on the floor as Klaus asked her.
"I guess I can wear it until I find something else."
~Later~
After picking out some clothes from a cute little boutique and heading back to the hotel room, Klaus and Caroline were laying on the bed together watching television. Caroline rested her head atop Klaus' chest.
"I never wanna leave Paris."She murmured to herself.
"You know love, we don't have to."
"Oh course we do. We have to go back to Mystic Falls!"
"Why? We could live here in Paris. Together. Or we could travel around all of Europe. We could spend a year in Spain. Or maybe England. We could go anywhere. We could travel around the world together, never really settling anywhere. Wouldn't that be fun?"
"Klaus," She looked up at him and propped herself up on her elbow. "I just said I wanted to stay here because I love it so much. I wasn't really serious. And traveling the world? That's crazy!"
"What's crazy about it? We have forever."
"I... But... Klaus. We couldn't."
"We could though! And you know we could! You're just scared."
"I'm not scared... It's just... We've only been here for a few days! How am I supposed to know if I want to live here?"
"Caroline, darling, it's been a week, and mistakes are meant to be made, and we have forever to fix them. Just a year. Just stay here for a year with me. Then you can decide." Klaus' voice was so hopeful, Caroline almost decided just to say yes.
"A year? Klaus! That's a really long time!"
"Out of forever, a year is but nothing. So what do you say?"
"Can... Can I have some time to think about this?"
"Of course you can love. Remember, we have all the time in the world." He kissed the top of her head and rested his eyes back on the television.
