Chapter 7
Previously
"They can wait." I begged reaching in for another kiss. I cursed when the doorbell rang again and Caroline hopped off the counter. I wiped my lips with the back of my hand before going into the living room to turn the T.V. on. I heard Caroline talking to someone at the door and the voice on the other side sounded very familiar. I couldn't quit place it though.
"Klaus?" I heard Caroline call.
"Yep?" I stood up and headed towards the door. My stomach dropped when I saw who it was. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
"What do you mean Klausy? You called me, remember?" The shrill voice said. I know for a fact that I didn't call her.
"Nik, I'm going to go get ready to go out. Just let me know when you're done." Caroline said placing a small kiss on my cheek.
"Stay, this won't take long." I pulled her wrist gently so she would stay.
"Oh on the contrary, I have those things you wanted to discuss Klausy." The monster spoke.
Caroline gave me a reassuring smile. "Nik it's fine, just finish your work with your secretary and I'll go get ready. Nice seeing you again Cami!" She smiled. Caroline gave me a smile and walked away. I waited until I heard the door to her bedroom close before I spoke.
"Secretary? That's a new one." I told her. I stood in front of the doorway with my arm on the frame.
"Oh come on Klaus…what do you even see in her? We used to have so much fun, remember?" Cami said, placing a hand on my arm. I took a step back at her touch.
"What are you doing here Camilla?" I snapped. She sighed before looking at me.
"I miss you Klaus." She whispered.
I laughed.
"Really? How many times do we have to go through this? I am done with your games. Did I not give you everything you asked for? I'm only going to say this one more time, leave. Now." I moved to close the door when she stuck her foot out to stop it. I glared at her.
"I'll make you regret that." I threatened her. I raised an eyebrow at her when I saw her smirk.
"You wouldn't hurt me." She bravely said.
"And why the hell not?" I raised my voice.
"Because, you know I'll destroy that pretty little Caroline. You care about her too much for that. Don't you? Don't want her to end up like Tatia, now do we? Have you even told her? Of course you haven't. You don't really trust her do you? Just a quick fuck, then you'll come crawling back to me. You always do." She said placing a hand on my arm and I jerked from her touch.
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" I screamed, slamming the door. How dare she bring up Tatia? The nerve of that woman!
"She's not your secretary, is she?" I heard a small voice whisper.
"Shit." I cursed. How long had she been standing there? Hopefully not that long. God, now she's going to have questions that I don't want to answer. Fuck.
"No Caroline. She's not." I ran my hand threw my short hair. I looked up at the ceiling. Everything had been so perfect before that witch came in and destroyed it.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
I couldn't help but let out a strained laugh at the question. "Definitely not. Caroline, there's something I need to tell you." I turned around and finally laid eyes on her. I coughed when I saw what she was wearing, a fucking towel. A fucking white towel with her hair dripping wet. Why does God hate me? She's so damn beautiful. Even without makeup she's perfect. Her legs went on for days and she had these small water droplets slowly traveling down her entire body. I didn't notice I had been staring until I heard a small cough escape her lips.
"I'm sorry, Caroline." I said nervously looking at the floor. I snapped my head up at her when I heard a small giggle. She's freaking adorable. "Can I take you somewhere?" I asked her and I didn't miss the smile that appeared on her face.
"Sure, let me go finish getting ready. Maybe while we're out you can finish what you were going to tell me?" She asked and I nodded. She happily ran back to her room. Of course her towel would ride up a bit, and of course I would see that small perfection that is her bottom. I'm in deep shit with this girl.
CPOV
I walked out from my room when I heard Klaus scream. I'm not sure who Cami is in relation to Klaus, but I know that they definitely had a thing. That much is obvious. Who was Tatia though? What happened to her? I'll have to ask Klaus. What did Cami mean by ending up like Tatia? A quick fuck? Oh hell no. Klaus is going to have work hard to get that.
I decided to stop worrying myself with all these questions and just get ready.
I picked out a black pair of pants with a loose teal t-shirt. I know it's not fancy, but I'm not looking to pick any random guys up! I did my regular make up and put my hair up in a messy bun. I was about to put my shoes on when I realized I had no idea where we were going.
"Hey Nik?!" I yelled from my door. "What shoes should I wear?!" I yelled again after a second. I heard a small laugh from him before he answered a minute later.
"Something comfortable." He called back. I yelled a quick 'thanks' then grabbed my converse and leather jacket before making my way to the living room wear Klaus was on his phone talking to someone. He seemed rather upset; I assumed it was work related.
"What do you mean you can't? I don't fucking care if you have plans! Get your ass down there and check it out!" He hissed to the other line. "If I have to do it myself, you will regret it." He said through clenched teeth. He harshly hung up the phone and spun around towards me. His face instantly softened. "Sorry about that." He mumbled.
I nodded with a small smile. "Work?" I asked.
"Something like that, are you ready to go?" He said with a smile. I nodded and he grabbed his keys and led me to the car waiting outside for us; I had stopped refusing to be driven around about a month ago.
"So where are we going?" I asked after a while.
"Caroline do you trust me?" He said.
That was random. "You know I do Nik."
He was looking out the window before he turned to me and held my arm. "Do you really trust me?"
I laughed. "Klaus what's going on? You saved me from myself, I trust you with my life." I said sure of myself. He smiled.
"I know you do. There's just something I need to show you, but I'm not sure if you'll still trust me afterwards." He said quietly looking back out the window
When he said that I grabbed his chin and turned him toward me, "Nik, whatever you have to tell me, I'm sure it's not as bad as you're making it out to be. I love you Nik." I said quietly. My eyes widened when I heard what had come out of my own mouth. Did I really just use the love word? Oh god, what if he doesn't feel the same way? Did I totally just ruin our friendship?
"I love you too." I heard him whisper before a felt lips crash against mine. I breathed a sigh of relief at the contact. I smiled when I felt his hands reach around my waist. I felt his tongue intertwine with mine, and for a second more we continued, until suddenly the driver stopped.
"We're here sir." I pulled away and blushed when the driver smirked at me. I noticed Klaus get a bit agitated so I grabbed his hand and squeezed it, hopefully to calm him down. I followed Klaus out of the door and looked around. We were at an abandoned warehouse. It looked familiar. I felt like I had been there before but couldn't remember.
"Klaus? Where are we?" I turned to face him.
He sighed before answering. "Caroline, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while. It's just that things got in the way, and you started a new job, and then we got closer and after Cami came…I just need to tell you."
He sounded crazy. Tell me what?
"What are you talking about?" I asked starting to get scared.
"Have you heard of the Mikaelson's?" He said tentatively.
"Klaus you know I have. It's your company silly." I rolled my eyes at him with a smile.
"No Caroline, not my company…the underground business." He said slowly.
"You mean the murderers? The Mikaleson clan that practically destroy everything…? The family that threatens to kill anyone in their way…?" Once I said it out loud my stomach dropped, this was not happening. Surely he didn't mean to tell me that h-he…no, just no. My eyes got wide when I saw it on his face; of course he was the Niklaus Mikaleson.
"No Klaus." I said shook my head backing away from him.
"Caroline please, I won't hurt you." He said reaching out for me. I jerked away at his touch.
"Tell me you're lying. Please." I whispered, begging him.
"I can't do that, love." He said quietly. My pulse had begun to pick up only to match my breathing that was starting to make me feel light headed.
"Y-you? Oh. My. God." I choked. I had a hand on my stomach, like that would prevent me from puking everywhere. I was frantically looking around me.
"Caroline just calm down." I heard a distant voice say.
Suddenly my breath was very short and I was seeing black spots. I felt someone pick me up right before darkness enveloped me.
KPOV
SHIT. I knew she wouldn't have reacted well. What possessed me to tell her this? Oh that's right, Cami. If it weren't for that bitch everything would have stayed just fine. I would have told Caroline eventually…well actually I hadn't planned on telling her at all.
After seeing the way Caroline passed out, realizing who I really was, I'm not sure how she will react once she awakens. I laid her on a couch in my small office inside the warehouse. I couldn't allow her to be alone, I'm not sure if she'll keep this secret.
I heard a quiet groan and my eyes glanced towards the girl from my spot at my desk.
"You're awake." I said walking over to her. I moved to place a hand on her shoulder when she jerked away and sat up quickly.
"Do NOT touch me." She hissed. I pressed my lips together and made my way back towards my desk. "I can't believe you didn't tell me." I heard her say, I ignored that comment. I grabbed a bottle of bourbon and to glasses before pouring some in each and handing her one. She snatched it out of my hand and chugged to amber liquid. I sat down on the couch next to her and we drank silently.
"I didn't want you to be a part of this world, love." I said after my third drink. "You're too innocent." I whispered.
"Innocent?" She scoffed. "Bull shit."
I turned my head to glare at her. She raised her eyebrows at me in defiance.
"Watch it love, I kill remember?" I growled.
She laughed. She actually laughed. "You won't kill me." She shook her head.
"And why the hell wouldn't I?" I said clenching a fist.
"If you were going to kill me, you would have done it already." She stated knowingly. I huffed; of course I wouldn't kill her. "I am however going to need you to answer some questions for me."
It was my turn to raise an eyebrow at her.
"Don't give me that face. You want me to keep your secret right? Then you're going to answer some questions." She told poking a finger in my chest. I ran a hand over my face before she continued.
"First of all: Every time you go out with Elijah, are you coming to this?" She motioned around the place. I nodded. "So all those drunken stories you told me and Rebekah are lies?" She stated unbelievingly.
"Technically no, not all of them were lies. Besides Rebekah already knew, we were just lying to you." I added the last part on then cursed when I saw the defeated look on her face. "I'm sorry." I mumbled.
"So my friendship with Rebekah…? Complete lie?" She spun around and I could see her shoulders start to shake. I stood up and turned her towards me. I wiped the tear that was on her cheek away.
"Caroline no. I asked Rebekah and Katherine to look out for you. The friendships you share are real." I told her. She nodded.
"How many?" She whispered looking up at me. I looked at her confused. "How many people?"
I knew exactly what she meant. She wanted to know how many people I've killed. I sighed.
"More than you need to know." I looked down. I don't usually feel ashamed by the amount of people I've killed. Somehow this girl makes me feel things I haven't felt before.
Caroline nodded her head and reached up to touch my cheek. The contact surprised me. I figured she would have nothing to do with me after I told her about this part of my life.
"I still love you Klaus." She said looking up at me with those light blue eyes.
"How?" I asked in disbelief.
"Because. No matter how many people you've hurt, you save me. I will always love you for that." She smiled. I saw a tears form at her eyes. I bent down to capture her lips and smiled when I felt her lips move with mine. She pulled away after another minute and we walked outside hand in hand. We were looking out at the dock at the moon setting across the water.
"Hey Klaus?" She asked.
"Hmm?"
"Something about this place seems so familiar. Have you brought me here before?" She asked. I squeezed my eyes shut. I had hoped she wouldn't say that. Hopefully she'll forgive me for this new piece of information I'm about to tell her.
"Caroline, there's something else I need to tell you."
I heard a small laugh come out of her mouth. "Is this what our destiny is? Always keeping secrets?" She shook her head in disbelief. "What is it this time?"
I took a deep breath before looking at her. "Your father…"
"Klaus…?"
"Y-your father isn't dead." I whispered.
