Klaus awoke to the feel of sunlight on his face and someone beside. It took him a while to remember that Caroline Forbes was in his bed. He was actually, for the first time in his life scared to open his eyes for fear she might not really be there. He just lay there for a while, his eyes closed. He felt a hand slowly move up his chest. He just lay still, keeping his breath steady. He felt fingers tracing his profile; he grabbed the hand, opened his eyes and looked at Caroline.
"I knew you were awake." Caroline said, smiling at Klaus. Klaus smiled and leaned over her and gave her a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He chuckled and started kissing her neck, nipping at her skin with his blunt teeth. She moaned and wrapped her fingers through his hair. Klaus growled and slightly bit her neck with his blunt teeth. Caroline yelped and wrapped her bare legs around Klaus' waist. He moved his lips to her lips and lightly bit her lip, making her grab his back and scratch all the way down his back. In the heat of the moment, she gasped and he moved his tongue into her mouth. His tongue moved against the roof of her mouth. He pulled away and Caroline looked at Klaus.
"What is it?" Klaus moved onto his back and stared at the ceiling, his breath uneven.
"I wanted to take this slow, but my patience is not at the best moment right now. I think you should go take a shower." Caroline knitted her eyebrows together.
"Nik, you want to join me?" she asked cautiously. She didn't know what was going on.
"No, thank you, I will stay here." Caroline scoffed. She stood up out of bed and headed toward the door for the bathroom before Klaus grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?" Caroline looked at Klaus with eyes of hurt, fear, and lust.
"What's wrong? I feel like maybe this isn't about taking it slow, but maybe you just aren't attracted to me now that you have me. It scares me... Klaus." She closed her eyes as she said that name. She liked saying Nik, it felt more loving. She saw how much that hurt him. "I love you, and believe me; I'm attracted to you, so why aren't you attracted to me? Or is it really because you want to take it slow, because Niklaus Mikaelson doesn't seem like the kind of guy to just take it slow. You never bothered with it earlier, but now you want to take it slow. I don't know how to feel. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel. I mean, before I was a vampire I would have loved to have a guy who would take it slow and just be with me, but now all I think about is blood and everything is heightened. You touch me and I want to throw you on bed and take you there. I don't know what to do. I mean, Nik, we have forever to be together and just enjoy each other's company, why do we just do that and live in the moment? What happens happens." She laughed. Klaus lifted up her chin and looked into her eyes.
"Love, I have spent my entire existence living in the moment and with you I just want to take it slow. Maybe when it comes to the bedroom, I could live in the moment some more, but I really just want to wake up to your face, cook with you, watch television with, and laugh at my siblings." Caroline smiled and kissed Klaus' lips with a fierce passion, but before he could react, she pulled away and smiled at him.
"Wait, Caroline, did you say we have forever?" Caroline was confused for a second before she realized.
"Is that another reason why you want to take it slow, because you think that I will leave you? Nik, I'm here, aren't I? I'm living with you. We do have forever. Now, will you join me in the shower?" she smiled an innocent smile as Klaus smiled a happy smile, one that only she sees, probably. Klaus shook his head. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead.
"I really can't, love. I need to do something, but I will make it up to you." He gave her a quick peck before throwing on some pants and walking out the door. Caroline sighed and headed into the bathroom. She took her shower and got dressed in a white lace dress with boots. She walked downstairs to see Tyler standing in the living room.
"Tyler what are you doing here?" Caroline asked while looking at Klaus, just remembering how this looks. Tyler looked at Caroline and shook his head.
"I knew something was going on. At least you made a choice, maybe you aren't like Elena." Klaus looked at Tyler as if he was about to rip his head off.
"Watch how you talk to her, Lockwood." At Klaus' voice, his siblings came down. Weirdly enough, Rebekah wasn't there. Tyler saw Bonnie and Kol and shook his head with his mouth agape.
"You too, Bonnie. I definitely would have expected better from you." Bonnie was about to say something, but Kol butted in.
"Lad, watch yourself. Don't insult a witch, let alone one dating me." Tyler looked like she was about to snap Kol's neck, but Elijah broke the tension.
"Tyler, do you mind enlightening us with your purpose of being here?" Tyler looked at Elijah and nodded. Tyler always did seem to get along better with Elijah.
"Well, I went to Matt's last night and he left a few hours after I was there and he hasn't been back since and that was about 3. I thought it was weird and I was just wondering if you happen to know where he is." Caroline shook her head and everyone looked around, except for Kol. Kol stood there and nodded.
"Kol, what do you know?" Klaus asked his brother in a serious voice.
"Well, Bekah may have told me that they were going to leave together. I think that maybe they left last night." Caroline, Bonnie, and Tyler gasped.
"HE DIDN'T TELL US!" Bonnie and Caroline yelled together. Tyler just looked shocked. Klaus wasn't that surprised. Caroline looked at Klaus, expecting an explanation, but he just shrugged.
"It isn't uncommon for my sister to fall for a human." They all nodded. Rebekah has always had a thing for Matt; they were mostly just shocked because he wanted to go with her. He's on vervain, so she couldn't have compelled him, he wanted to go willingly.
"Well, I guess I'm going to go. I have nowhere to go now, but I'll find somewhere. Maybe I'll go back to New Orleans, help with Hayley." Klaus looked at Tyler with wide eyes. Did Tyler Lockwood know? Caroline nodded.
"Okay, you should do that, she probably needs it." Klaus looked back at Caroline. She was taking this well. Maybe she didn't know he was the father. Tyler left and Kol decided to break the tension.
"So, who wants to go to the falls?" Everyone looked at each other and nodded, Klaus out his hand on Caroline's lower back and they headed upstairs to change.
