Enzo smirked as he arrived at the bar he was meeting Caroline at. They were going to just grab a few drinks together before going to dinner but given that Caroline was currently on the side of building shaking someone by their collar it looked like Caroline was mixing business with pleasure this evening.
"I told you to stop coming around here and pushing your drugs." Caroline growled out as she gave the skinny blonde man a hard shake.
"I-I-I'mmm s-s-sorrry" The man stammered apologetically, an apology that Caroline ignored.
"If I see you around here again I will throw your ass in jail and tell the inmates you were selling to kids. Do you understand me?" Caroline said as she glared hard at the man who went white as a sheet at her threat, which was pretty impressive given he looked to be at deaths door already.
"Do. You. Understand. Me?" Caroline said again as she gave him another hard shake, sending him careening back into the brick wall.
"Y-yes Of-Of-Oficer F-F-Forbes." The man stuttered out, nodding his head that he understood Caroline's threat clearly.
"Good. Now get the hell out of here." Caroline said as she shoved him away and he took off running down the alley.
"Throw your ass in jail and tell the inmates you were selling to kids." Enzo mocked as he came up to stand next to Caroline who was watching the man run away. Caroline just rolled her eyes as she turned her attention to her best friend.
"You're like a perky blonde angel of justice."
"Shut up. I just got a horrible assignment and I need a drink like now!" Caroline said as she threw her hands up in the air and started towards the bar, Enzo following close behind her.
Once they made it in the door Caroline pulled off her jacket and threw it in Enzo's face before stalking off to the bar to order them a round of drinks leaving Enzo to grab a table near the window. The bar was a hole in the wall that was a neighborhood favorite, dilapidated enough to keep the yuppies out and still nice enough to keep the hipsters from showing up and making it trendy.
Caroline came back with a tray of drinks, a scotch for Enzo and a vodka and cranberry for her along with three shots of vodka. Placing all the drinks on the table she set the tray on an empty table beside them, collapsed into her seat and then proceeded to take all three shots of vodka in rapid succession before chasing the shots down with a few sips of her vodka and cranberry.
Enzo just smirked as he watched her, as this was nothing new to him. They had been friends for years and there were times that Caroline got to the point where she just needed to drink.
"Well, tick-tock gorgeous, lets hear about this terrible assignment of yours." Enzo said as he lifted up his tumbler of scotch and took a healthy swallow, watching the beautiful blonde before him get ready to unleash her fury.
"Oh My God! It is like the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me and I wouldn't even wish it on my worse enemy who happens to be the one I am going to be stuck with for the next month. You know what? I take that back! I would wish it on Mikaelson because he is a complete dick head. And furthermore -"
"Easy Goldielocks, you want to tell me what exactly the assignment is first before commenting on how horrible it is?" Enzo said, interrupting Caroline's tirade. Caroline took a drink of her vodka and cranberry, giving Enzo a glare before she spoke once more. She didn't bother saying anything about the nicknames he gave her given she has spent years telling him to call her Caroline which made him call her everything but Caroline. At this point she didn't even bother mentioning it anymore.
"I am on a special assignment with Mikaelson of all people to go undercover as husband and wife! Can you believe that? Husband and wife! And it's all Patrova's fault, she told the Captain how well Mikaelson and I could pull off being a couple because we fight like we are already married. Are you kidding me? Are. You. Kidding. Me. It is so ridiculous it isn't even funny." Caroline paused as she took note of Enzo trying to hold back a grin as his shoulders shook with silent laughter.
"Didn't I just say its not funny?!" Caroline said with a glare.
Enzo held his hands up but he couldn't stop laughing, forcing Caroline to throw one of her empty shot glasses at his chest, hitting center mast before falling down onto the table. Caroline gave a little fist pump at her aim while Enzo rubbed his chest, no longer laughing but still grinning.
"You know, with the way you complain about this bloke I am beginning to think you have taken a fancy to him."
Caroline gasped in horror at such a thought while Enzo shrugged and took a drink of his scotch, drowning it before waving at the bartender for another round of drinks.
"There is no way in hell that I like Mikaelson. Why would you even think that?" Caroline said incredulously as she downed her own drink as if to drown any sort of truth his accusation held.
"Think about it gorgeous, we both know you have a thing for accents."
"Every girl has a thing for accents." Caroline shot back.
"And you do enjoy the company of the well traveled, charming accented and dodgy moraled gentlemen." Enzo said with a smirk as he leaned back and held out his arms to drive home his point that he was indeed such a gentleman.
"Who are also arrogant, tactless and completely unable to take a hint." Caroline said as she glared at Enzo, and before anything else could be said the waitress showed up with their drinks, taking note of Caroline's look of anger and Enzo's look of amusement she silently set down the drinks and left.
"Unable to take the hint, eh? Has this Mikaelson bloke been trying to chat you up?"
"More like he can't take the hint to stop being such an asshole." Caroline said, making a sour face at the thought of Klaus trying to hit on her. "Just like you."
Enzo smirked and took a drink of his freshly delivered scotch.
"There is my future sister in law!" Kol crooned as he walked through the door of the bar and made his way to Caroline's and Enzo's table. Kol had been unable to help himself from tracking down Caroline once he heard the news of her's and Klaus' undercover assignment.
Pulling out a chair and taking a seat Kol grabbed Caroline's hand and gave it a kiss. To Caroline it wasn't a surprise how fast Kol had found out about the assignment given the fact that the entire vice department had been pressed up against the Captains door listening to Pearl rip them a new one followed by assigning them to go undercover.
"Now darling, have you really thought about this? Nik is alright and all but have you truly chosen the best Mikaelson brother to marry?" Kol said as he brought Caroline's hand to his heart, giving her his most serious look.
Caroline scoffed and pulled her hand away, taking another large sip of her drink at the reminder she was going to have to play at Klaus' wife.
"I don't want to marry any Mikaelson if I can help it."
"Ahh, but you can't help getting married to Nik. Just think about it, Mrs. Caroline Mikaelson. Mrs. Niklaus Mikaelson." Kol said with a flourish as Caroline shuddered at the names and rested her forehead down on the table.
"I think I'm gonna be sick."
Kol laughed and turned his attention to Enzo.
"Hello Mate, Kol Mikaelson." Kol said as he reached over and shook Enzo's hand.
"Enzo."
Kol's face lit up at that recognizing the name of Caroline's best mate immediately.
"The Enzo?"
"No, the other one." Enzo said with a smirk.
"Well Other Enzo, are you going to be the maid of honor at Caroline's wedding? Seeing as you are her best mate and all. I'll tell you a secret though, I've been trying for that title myself the past few months, but with sex." Kol said seriously.
"Kol!" Caroline exclaimed as she sat up and smacked him on the back of his head.
"Ow!" Kol said as he rubbed his head, frowning at Caroline.
"Best mate status actually already comes with sex, and it is amazing." Enzo said as he nodded his head.
"ENZO!" Caroline yelled as she moved to throw another empty shot glass at him. He held up his hands defensively and laughed.
"I'm joking! A joke? A little British humor?"
"So not funny." Caroline said with a scowl.
"Americans." Kol said with a shake of his head. "No sense of humor."
"I know. But what can you do." Enzo said with a shrug as he took a drink, both of them ignoring the the fact that Caroline was staring daggers at the both of them.
And as if her day couldn't get any worse Klaus and Stefan just happened to come strolling through the door and Kol was the first to spot them.
"Oh look, there's the groom now. With his boyfriend of course. Those two are joined at the hip. I hope he does manage to stay faithful to you once you two are married. Unless you are into threesomes?" Kol said as he looked from his brother and Stefan to Caroline.
"Jesus fucking christ." Caroline moaned, unable to believe her luck.
Kol started to wave at his brother to join them but Caroline was up out of her chair and in Klaus' face before Kol had a chance to get his arm up.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline said as she stood before him, her hands on her hips as she glared at her soon to be fake husband who looked startled to find her standing before him before forcing his face back to his usual arrogant smirk. Stefan looked just and startled and frowned as he watched the two of them.
The only two who were happy about the show down were Kol and Enzo, who were grinning as they watched the confrontation. "Breakout the popcorn, mate." Enzo said as he slid his thumb back and forth across the tops of his fingers watching Klaus and Caroline closely.
"Having a drink with my mate, love." As if it was the most natural thing in the world for Klaus to say..
"Having a drink in this bar? Nope! Not happening. This is my neighborhood bar. So you can leave and go have a drink elsewhere." Caroline growled as she sent him a withering glare. "And don't call me love." Caroline said as an afterthought. Klaus of course ignored it.
"I believe Stefan here is part of this neighborhood, sweetheart. So I believe we can have a drink here." Klaus said defensively, it was a total lie of course. Klaus knew Caroline frequented the establishment and he felt compelled to grab a drink there. Not because he wanted to see her. No, of course not. Just wanted to rile her up knowing she would hate having him there. Yeah, that was the reason. (Or not.)
"Uh, no he isn't. He doesn't even live on this side of town. I have been to his house and it is no where near here." Caroline snapped as she pointed at Stefan who looked ready to say something but Klaus was already responding, not giving him an opening to speak.
Klaus felt the jealousy flare in his veins as he ambled closer to the bane of his existence and growled quietly. "And what, may I ask love, where you doing at his house?"
"He was throwing a party, and he invited me over. Because unlike you, Stefan has more than one friend." Caroline snarked.
"I have more than one friend." Klaus said offended by her statement.
"Oh yeah? Name one." Caroline said with an arch of her brow, not believing him for a moment.
"You." Klaus said simply.
Caroline's jaw dropped open in shock at his answer and it took her a moment to process what he said before she spoke.
"I'm not your friend."
"Then what do you call what happened in the Captains office this afternoon?" Klaus said, alluding to the fact Caroline had helped him keep a firm clamp on his temper and therefore kept him from being suspended or kicked off the force.
"I-I-I was protecting my partner." Caroline said after a moment of hesitation. She wasn't quite sure what happened in the Captains office other than making sure Klaus didn't get in trouble. Although why she did it eluded her at the moment. It would have been perfect if he had gotten kicked off or suspended because then she wouldn't have to deal with him, but she couldn't stand the thought of him being gone. Which only confused her further. How could she miss the she hated, who was also insanely attractive, smart and even somewhat charming when he wasn't being a total jackass.
"Caroline, you will tell anyone who is willing listen how much you despise me and yet you had a perfect chance to get rid of me, but you didn't. You didn't let me hang myself, you saved me." Klaus said as he took one of her hands between both of his, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Yeah, well, I didn't want to be stuck with Patrova by myself." Caroline said lamely as she pulled her hand out of his and backed away. "I-I hav-ve to to go, Enzo and I hav-have dinner pla-plans.." Caroline stammered as she bolted to Enzo and grabbing her jacket and went straight out the door, leaving Enzo settle their tab.
"Already running off your future wife? You are a terrible husband Nik." Kol said as he ambled up to Stefan and Klaus, holding Caroline's abandoned drink and sipping from it as if it was his own.
"Say another word and I'll tear out your liver." Klaus threatened Kol who smirked and took another drink. Klaus glanced at Stefan who was giving him an odd look after the encounter with Caroline.
"Don't start." Klaus growled at Stefan who just held up his hands and backed off, turning to the bar to get the two of them drinks, leaving Klaus to process what ever the hell just happened.
XxX
Did you guys totally lose your minds with Enzo? I hope he was in character for you - I don't read a lot of fan fictions with him in it, so I wasn't sure if he was ooc or not. Did you guys like the chapter? Tell me what you loved, liked and laughed at. Because you know what happens when you leave reviews like that? I drink less. And when I drink less I don't play as much drunkin Mario Cart. When I don't play as much drunkin Mario Cart I write.
Haha - just kidding - there is no such thing as drinking less.
Also - we all know how much Caroline, Klaus and Stefan like threesomes. *cough*eyesonfire*cough*
