The door opened to Camille's bar and she turned around, setting a glass bottle down without watching, and saw Klaus walking towards her with a face she didn't like. He came to a stop just a few feet away and stood there, staring at her peacefully. He smiled and gestured in nonchalance.
"I chose." He said simply. Camille stared at him and put a hand on her hip.
"And who was it?" She asked curtly. She was almost certain she already knew the answer.
"You know." Klaus replied. Camille's mouth closed and she stared at him forcefully.
"You son of a bitch." She snapped. Klaus glared at her. "Well I certainly hope you didn't fall for a hand maiden in the fifteenth century and promised to be her last love cause Caroline'll rip you apart." Camille said. Klaus shook his head.
"You don't understand-" Klaus began, walking towards her with a gesture to calm down.
"What don't I understand? You never told me about Caroline because you knew I'd be less inclined to want to be with you if I knew you were already in love with someone else, nevermind how far away they were. Did you ever, care about me?" She asked.
"Of course I did!" Klaus roared. Camille closed her mouth and stared again. "If I didn't care about you, I would've ended things with you the second Caroline appeared on my doorstep,-"
"And when exactly did she?" Camille asked.
"A while before you saw us at Mardi Gras." Klaus replied.
"Ah, you son of a bitch." Camille sighed and brought her hands to her face, turning around.
"Camille, if I didn't care enough to try not to hurt you, I would've lied to you enough to make you believe you were going insane to think I would ever be unfaithful. But I did care, Camille, and I had to make a choice. I chose Caroline, and it was inevitable. I don't know what else there is to say." Camille stood behind the bar, and breathed hard, then calmed down.
"Well then." She said. Klaus neared her.
"Time to part ways, love?" He asked. She smirked.
"You know, that weird sideways smile always got to me. You were more than just a hot guy after a while. You were a weird friend." She replied. He laughed.
"Weird friends were always the best to have." Klaus noted. Camille nodded.
"Not this time though, Klaus." She replied. Klaus watched her. "I need my space. I would like it, if when you needed someone to have one of our chats with, you went to your new girlfriend, instead of me. Please tell her all of your problems instead of me. Because if you drag me back in I won't be able to get out again." Camille told him. Klaus pursed his lips and nodded.
"Camille, I did love you once. But we changed. Maybe we both changed for the better, but we are not longer compatible." Klaus told her. Cami nodded and shrugged.
"People, and vampires, change. It's our nature." She replied. He nodded and they stared at each other for a while. Klaus nodded again and bowed his head.
"Goodbye, Camille." Klaus replied. He turned around and left. Caroline stood by the door, her hands hung in front of her.
"How'd she take it?" Caroline asked
"As well as I expected her to." He replied. He looked her in the eye and smirked. "But I am a keeper. Any woman would be so lucky to have me." He told her. She scoffed.
"Yeah. Blonde women who don't know about eachother." She said. Klaus's smile disappeared.
"Caroline." He protested.
"Oh, are we not laughing about this yet?" Caroline asked, touching his arm. Klaus held her hand in his and they walked away from the bar.
"No, but we will." He replied. Caroline smiled at him and they walked back to his home, ready to begin their new chapter.
