And again. THANK YOU! I can´t believe that I have 40 followers and almost 3000 views after 6 chapters of my first story!
WhiteBread312 asked me in reviews for adding the last 1 or 2 sentence to remind you what happened in the previous chapter so I decided to do it and I´ll do it every time. So here it is.
"I´m not afraid. I´m sure that I got 10 points for teaching you how to shift and at least 20 for the counting thing." He felt that something was strange and after a moment he realized that he was happy. First time in his life he didn´t feel anger, fear, satisfaction or many other feeling that he felt most of the time. He felt nothing but happiness.
"I don´t want to ruin your ego but we probably get lost."
"Why do you think it?"
"We need to go north but we are going to east." They were in the car again after week in Berlin and other week in Prague.
"We did´t lost. I decided that we´ll visit Krakow for 2 days before Scandinavia. It is the most beautiful city in Poland and one of the most beautiful city in Europe, maybe in the world. And how often you can see Lady with an Ermine?"
"But we will have about two days less for Finland, Sweden and Norway!"
"No we won´t. Nobody said that we must go back after 4 weeks. If I remember you said ´4 or 5 weeks´so we are staying on. What did you like the best about Prague?"
"I can´t choose."
"Yes you can."
"I know that it will sound strange, I like the city overall, but the best thing was probably food and beer."
Klaus laughed. "You enjoyed it most everywhere where we have been."
"It´s not true!"
"Yes it is and don´t fight."
"My only lucky is that I´m vampire and I can not get fat.. But Czech beer is the best. Not like American beer. But it is mystery for me how it can taste so good when it is so bitter."
"It is the magic of it love. You feel bitterness on your tongue so you want to drink it down and because you know that it is sweet for the first taste you take next sip of it. And so it goes round and round."
Time passed faster then they both wanted. It was the last night before their departure back to US when Caroline woke up in the middle of the night and found out that Klaus was not there. How they were getting closer during the days, they were getting closer in the night too. Not in intimate way but in distance between them in bed. She woke up previous morning just a really short distance from him and now she realized that she hoped that she will woke up in his arms last morning in Europe. She felt disappointed.
She got out of bed and went to the living room of the lake house in Finland where they stayed. She took her jacket and went out to the terrace. Klaus was standing there leaning on railing and he was staring at the moon over the lake. She stood next to him.
"Why are not you sleeping?"
"I could not sleep."
"Are you still mad at me?"
"I was not mad at you, Caroline."
"Yes you were."
"I was not. I just didn´t want to hear what you said."
"Why?"
"Why? I´m not sure if you noticed but I don´t like when I´m wrong and anybody else is right. I know that my brother means it well and that he is not stalker how I call him last time when he called. I just don ´t believe that it will and can work."
"Why not?"
"Do you know about what we are talking? We are talking about my family. About my very dysfunctional family. And we should be supposed to raise a child. We are not able be in the same room for more then 5 minutes without fighting. It is also funny that the baby was not born yet and it hasn´t mother already. I´m not saying that I would rather live with her than without her, but if it would grow up with one parent it is definitely not me."
"Don´t worry. You will be wonderful father. Not the best with your status in New Orleans and everywhere in the world, but wonderful."
"And you hit yourself in the head. "
"Don´t believe it but I know that it is true. I know how you behave towards someone you care about. I have personal experience." she sain and hugged him.
He hugged her too and smiled into her hair.
"So what is so interesting about the moon and the lake that you stared at it for so long?" she tried to lighten the situation when she step back.
"I was thinking about my parents. They had lived somewhere here before they moved to Mystic Falls."
"Really? How do you know?"
"I asked Sophie to found out it before we left."
"She can do this kind of magic?"
"She just needed my blood and when we were in London she send me location."
"Did you parents go to Mystic Falls alone?"
"No, they went with few other families. With original family of your doppelganger-friend for example."
"With Tatia´s family?"
He raised his eyebrows "How do you know?"
"Stefan told me about her."
"Of course he did."
"You know what is funny? You loved someone who was in substance Katherine and Elena."
"It is not true. They look the same and they have this nature to play with feeling of two men, better two brothers, but they are all different."
"Did she break your heart?"
"I guess she did but it taught me to not fall for every women, especially not for woman who are inconstant."
"But you fall for me..."
"Why but?"
"I guess that I´m inconstant when I was with Tyler but had some feelings for you."
"This doesn´t mean that you are inconstant. Tatia was in two relationships simultaneously. Katerina compelled Salvatore brothers to love her and enjoyed them both. And Elena was in relationship with Stefan but wanted Damon more the whole time."
"You can´t know it."
"So why she let him to kiss her? Why did she slept with him just one day after break up with Stefan?"
"She was sired to him."
"Because she was in love with him when she was turned with his blood."
"And how does it make me different?"
"Have you ever have two relationship at the same time?"
"No."
"Have you ever compelled two men to love you?"
"No."
"Did you wanted me more than Tyler, when you were with him?"
"No."
"Did you kiss me or sleep with me day after the break-up with him?"
"No."
"See, this makes you different."
She looked at him.
"And although it was not very comfortable for me to see you be in love with Tyler and pushing me away.."
She felt sad about it. But why?
".. it was good lesson because I know now, that when you will give me a chance one day, I will not have to worry about your feelings for me or for some other guy. It is why you are not inconstant..."
And then she realized why.
"... It makes you different. It is one of the many reasons why I..."
"I love you."
"You do not have to complete sentences for me."
"I didn´t complete sentences for you. I said that I love you."
"Caroline, it is not funny."
"I´m not kidding. I love you Klaus!"
"Are you sure?"
"I ´m more than sure. I love you!" when she finally said it she wanted to say it again and again.
"But are you aware of a fact that when we´ll start it, when we´ll start us, there will not be the end? You will not be alowed to go away."
"I know it and I want it. I want you to be my last love. I want it because I love you!"
He was looking at her for a while with the most adorable-dimples-human smile in the world.
"I love you too."
And then. Then he kissed her. And it was the most perfect first kiss. It was full of tenderness, softness and gentleness. And most of all, it was full of love. Full of vampire-hybrid love.
"Let´s sleep. We are leaving in 6 hours and I don´t want you to be tired." he kissed her on forehead.
Caroline was falling asleep in his arms and it felt like heaven. She couldn´t imagine how it´ll feel to wake-up in his arms, how she wanted it earlier, but she was sure that it´ll not feel worse. Caroline know it. She know it because she loved him and Klaus loved her.
So this is the end of their trip to Europe. There will be probably one or two another chapters and then Epilog . But don´t worry. If you will want more of Klaroline from my point of view I have some ideas for next story or stories.
I know that the first part of the chapter doesn´t fit with the second one but I´m from Czech Republic and I love our beer and I wanted to write something about it and I had no idea how to incorporate it to next chapters so here it was.
I have also request for help for you. I don´t know how to name Klaus´ baby. I know that it will be boy (can you imagine Klaus to have doughter?) but I don´t want to name him Henrik. So if you have any idea, write it and if I´ll like it, your offer will be part of the story.
