By far my longest one, sorry but Klaus is a bit of a dick in this.
I mean I love him but I needed him to be one for this to work!
Also I just want to say a huugee thank you to all the nice comments I've gotten! You lot are amazing :)
Enjoy!
Kol walked into a high end gentlemen's club on a mission, he had heard of a golden haired goddess who worked there. And he had a proposition for her, he needed her to pretend to be his fiancée at a family gathering. He needed her in particular, not just so his parents wouldn't pester him about being in a serious relationship or he needed a date to Klaus' wedding. No he needed her to cause mayhem.
"Gentlemen please welcome, Caroline" the MC called over the sound system and Caroline walked on with a smile as sweet as sugar on her face. She was wearing -plain white lacy lingerie. Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia played through the speakers and Caroline started her routine.
Caroline's routine was more of a dance than the usual grinding against a pole that others do, and that's why she always ended up with the better tips. Kol watched as Caroline twirled around the pole in awe. After her dance ended she walked off back stage, Kol followed her and paid off the guard that was blocking him from entering.
"That was phenomenal sweetheart" an accented voice spoke from behind Caroline.
"It's always nice to meet fans, although you really shouldn't be back here" she said from behind her changing screen.
"I just had to meet you" he said standing and waiting for her to appear. Caroline walked out from behind the screen wearing leather pants and a black halter crop top.
"Nice to meet you?" Caroline asked, waiting for his name.
"Kol" he held out a hand for her to shake.
"Nice to meet you Kol, is there anything you wanted in particular?" she shook his hand before moving around her changing room and collecting her phone and wallet to put in her clutch.
"Yes I have a proposal for you" he said watching as Caroline turned to him sceptically.
"What proposal?" Caroline asked then took a seat on her white leather sofa. Kol walked over and sat on the other side.
"I want you to pretend to be my fiancée for the weekend, I will pay you how ever much you wish."
"So like a hooker?"
"I prefer escort or better yet fiancée" he said cheekily.
"Any amount?" she asked, thinking about it.
"Anything your heart desires" Kol confirmed.
"Okay, I want 1 million dollars" Caroline deadpanned, thinking he wouldn't agree.
"Done" he agreed, sticking his hand out.
"Are you fucking for real?" Caroline scoffed.
"What? You want more?" Kol asked confused.
"You're actually going to pay 1 million dollars for me to pretend to be your fiancée? What's the catch?"
"I assume you remember Klaus Mikaelson?" Kol asked watching as Caroline clenched her fists and visibly stiffened.
"I know the ass hole, why?"
"He's my brother, and it's his wedding that I need to attend this weekend. So think of it as divine intervention and revenge."
"You want me to cause trouble" Kol smirked and raised his hands in a surrendering position.
"You caught me, but come on darling, you can't tell me that you won't love causing him trouble after he humiliated you."
"Deal, but I have a few more questions. One, do I have to have sex with you?"
"Only if you want to."
"You won't force me?"
"I would never force a girl's hand, I promise I won't touch you unless you are willing." Kol smiled, doing a boy scout salute.
"Next, are you going to make me pretend to do something I don't? Or can I tell people I dance in a gentleman's club?"
"If you don't tell them I guarantee I will. There is nothing to be embarrassed by, it is your profession and I have a great deal of respect for you." Caroline smiled, grateful that Kol wasn't trying to get her to be something she wasn't.
"Do I have to wear 'appropriate' clothes which means a new wardrobe, or can I wear what I want?"
"What you wear is completely up to you."
"Okay, when do we leave?"
"Ideally tonight. Sorry for the late notice but you are quite a hard woman to find."
"Alright, did you drive?" Kol nodded, "okay drive me back to my apartment, I'll quickly pack and we can be on our way." Kol drove Caroline back to her apartment and waited by the car as she packed.
Caroline ran up the flights of steps and into her apartment, rushing by her roommate Lexi.
"Hey Lex I am off for the weekend" she called out, walking back out when she didn't get a response, only to find Lexi on the couch having sex with someone, "right you're busy." She mumbled to herself, returning to her room. She crossed over to her closet and pulled out 3 dresses, a pair of jeans, a couple of blouses and a light blue nightie.
She walked over to her chest of drawers and pulled out some of her lingerie and packed it into the duffle bag. She slung a couple pairs of heels/boots into the bag and made her way back downstairs. Kol was texting Klaus to let him know he was bringing a plus one to the wedding.
"Ready?" Caroline nodded, Kol took the bag from Caroline and put it in the boot and got in.
"Let's go, baby" Caroline said sultrily earning a look from Kol, "I thought I was meant to be your fiancé? God you are crap at this!"
"Right" Kol chuckled before turning to her, taking her hand and placing an engagement ring on it.
"Holy shit!" Caroline exclaimed, bringing her hand closer to her face to examine the ring.
"Like it?" Kol asked, watching in amusement as Caroline admired the ring.
"Like it? I love it!"
"You can keep it" he shrugged, putting the car in gear and heading towards the Hamptons.
"Excuse me?" Caroline turned to him in disbelief, earning a shrug from her 'fiancé'.
"I won't have any use for it, and it's a waste to throw it. So why not give it to someone who wants it" Kol explained simply sending an easy grin Caroline's way. Caroline shocked him by leaning over the console and pressing a kiss on his cheek. She stayed by his ear.
"Thank you baby" she cooed.
"No problem, sweetheart" he replied. During the drive Caroline fell asleep in her seat, Kol smiled at the blonde beside him and turned the music down so it wouldn't disturb her. He returned to his earlier thoughts, yes, Caroline Forbes was just the person he needed to cause havoc at his brother's wedding. Because after all what better way to screw with your brother than bringing his ex-fiancée to his wedding?
Kol drove all night and arrived in the Hamptons early in the morning. He pulled into the family mansions drive and parked in his space. He got out the car and went to the boot, pulling out his and Caroline's bags. He put them down by the side of the car and walked to the passenger side, opening the door and bending down.
"Darling, we've arrived. Time to wake up" he called softly, moving the hair that had fallen on her face to behind her ear. Caroline stirred and slowly opened her eyes, smiling softly when she saw Kol.
"Good morning" she said, her voice laced with sleep.
"Good morning indeed" he agreed standing and offering her his hand. She took it and stepped out of the car, stretching to loosen her stiff muscles. She smiled lazily at Kol who was watching her with amusement.
"Shall we?" she moved to pick up her bag but Kol picked it up already.
"I'll get that for you my lady" he pretended to bow causing Caroline to laugh.
"Thank you kind sir" she played along, curtsying. They walked side by side up the gravel drive and up the stairs leading to the house. Once they got to the front door a butler opened the door for them and took the luggage from Kol.
"Thank you Joshua" he said, clapping the man on his shoulder.
"No problem Kol, welcome back, shall I prepare a guest room?" Joshua replied bringing the bags up the stairs.
"No Josh, that won't be necessary, my fiancée will be staying in my room with me" Kol said, pulling Caroline closer by the waist. Caroline moved into Kol and rested a hand on his chest.
"Of course, everyone is in the kitchen awaiting your arrival" Joshua announced before leaving to put the bags away.
"Shall we, darling?" Kol asked, turning to Caroline who was still in his embrace.
"Yeah, just one second" she pulled him into a passionate kiss, running her hands through his hair, Kol's hands mimicking Caroline's. After a few seconds they broke apart and Caroline had a look of satisfaction on her face and Kol wore a smirk.
"What was that for? Not that I didn't love it." Kol asked, curious about the sudden and unexpected make out session.
"Well, now both of us look like we just had sex because of our hair looking perfectly out of place," Caroline grinned and Kol mirrored it.
"You are a genius, sweetheart. This will drive Nik crazy" he grinned mischievously.
"Want to really drive him crazy, call me love or angel. That's what he used to call me, and only occasionally call me a minx. He used to call me that and I would literally jump his bones" Caroline responded wickedly.
"Come on then love" he drawled, throwing his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into him. Caroline wrapped her arm around his waist and together they walked into the kitchen.
"Hello family" Kol called out grabbing everyone's attention. Caroline and Kol took in everyone's reactions in amusement.
Rebekah looked over in excitement first, excited to see her baby brother then it turned to shock when she saw the familiar blonde cuddled into his side. Henrik looked over and smiled, happy to see his older brother and Caroline who had become a close friend to her a few years ago. Esther and Mikael looked astonished but Mikael held a little amusement in his eyes, knowing what Kol was up to in bringing Caroline with him.
Elijah and Finn sighed resignedly and muttered under their breaths about Kol being a trouble maker. Katherine watched with a twinkle in her eyes and anticipated the fight that was brewing. Sage chuckled under her breath, knowing only Kol would've been able to ruin a wedding.
Tatia looked at Caroline and Kol confusedly. Klaus was shocked and stood still, taking in the form of his ex-fiancée who was now under Kol's arm. Anger and agitation filling his veins when he noticed the rock placed on Caroline's ring finger. But over the few seconds everyone's trance was broken by the sound of glass crashing against the marble floor, Klaus had dropped his glass, letting amber liquid fall across the polished floors.
"Caroline" Klaus said in disbelief, Caroline smirked and looked over at him.
"Klaus, looking good" Caroline commented before walking over to Henrik, "what no hug this time?" He grinned and pulled her into a big hug. Just like that everyone started talking and Mikael pulled Kol into a hug.
"How is my favourite Mikaelson? Not to mention most handsome Mikaelson" Caroline asked Henrik who blushed at her compliment.
"Good, thank you, Caroline. You look really pretty" he complimented, his blush deepening. Caroline giggled and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Caroline, my angel" Kol called "I don't believe you've met Klaus' fiancée Tatia Petrova, soon to be Mikaelson though." Caroline sauntered over to where Kol, Mikael, Klaus and Tatia were standing and looked over Tatia who had her hand outstretched for Caroline to shake and smirked.
"Pleasure to meet you" Caroline said, disregarding her outstretched hand and moving closer to Kol who instinctively put his arm around her waist, "nice to finally meet Klaus' replacement me. I have to say I'm not very impressed." Tatia pressed her lips into a thin line and counted to ten in her head.
"Caroline, I won't have you speak to my fiancée like that" Klaus growled, furious that she would be so disrespectful.
"And I won't have you speaking to mine like that" Kol growled back, drawing the attention of everyone.
"Fiancée?" Elijah asked in disbelief, looking at Kol as if he had grown 2 heads.
"Yes, fiancée. Isn't that right love?" Kol asked, kissing Caroline before she could respond.
"Yup" she giggled, kissing him back, "it was unexpected but I couldn't be happier." She smiled, and somewhere deep inside she knew she wasn't lying.
"I don't understand?" Finn muttered.
"All will be explained over dinner" Kol waved off the questions, "but for now I'm going to take my minx to bed." Caroline smirked hearing Klaus growl when he called Caroline 'my minx'.
"What are you waiting for?" she purred seductively, letting out a squeal when he picked her up by her ass, wrapping her legs around his waist instinctively. He smacked her butt and grinned when she let out a moan. They disappeared up the stairs, Klaus had stormed off with Tatia on his heels. Esther and Mikael had gone off to check on some arrangements leaving Finn, Sage, Katherine, Elijah, Rebekah and Henrik in the kitchen.
"What the bloody hell was that!" Rebekah screeched finally breaking the silence.
"I don't know" Katherine replied shrugging but smirking a second later, "but I am glad that I didn't fake an illness to get out of coming here this weekend."
"Shit's about to go down" Sage sing-songed.
Kol walked into the bedroom and dropped Caroline on the bed, he started to move away but Caroline quickly got on her knees and pulled him back towards her. She pulled him into a deep, heated kiss, Kol went along with it for a couple of minutes but when he felt Caroline try to take his shirt off he broke away from her, causing her to frown.
"What's wrong?" she asked wearily, forcing herself not to let tears appear because he was rejecting her. Kol easily spotted this.
"Nothing's wrong" he reassured her, "I just don't want you to feel like you have to have sex with me." Caroline smiled at his comment, her heart warming and soon enough tears were pouring down her face.
"Darling, please don't cry. I'm sorry" Kol said when he noticed her tears, bringing her into a tight embrace, letting her cry into his shirt.
"I'm sorry" he repeated, rubbing soothing circles on her back.
"I'm not crying because I'm upset" she mumbled into his shirt.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because you're so amazingly nice, and you're keeping to your promise" she sniffled placing her head into the crook of his neck. Sighing deeply at the comfort she felt at that moment.
"I would never go back on my word" he promised. Caroline pulled back and looked into his hazel eyes, finding warmth. She leant forward and pressed a kiss on his lips, he returned it hesitantly. She broke apart and leant her forehead on his.
"You are a phenomenal kisser" she whispered causing Kol to chuckle.
"Better than Klaus?"
"Hundred times better" she giggled when Kol threw his fist up into the air in victory.
They spent the rest of the time unpacking and joking about. As the hours passed Kol couldn't help but find himself falling for her and Caroline unbeknownst to Kol felt the same.
Caroline was in the bathroom getting ready for the dinner tonight, they were planning to go to the marina where they were going to have dinner at a restaurant nearby then go on a yacht trip for the night and half of the next day. Caroline put on the last of her make up and walked out of the bathroom.
Kol fixed his bow tie for the last time, checking his appearance in the mirror. He heard the bathroom door click open, he started to turn around.
"Finally, I thought you might have gotten …" Kol trailed off as he took in Caroline's appearance. She was wearing red cowl neck masquerade dress by Jane Norman and black Mancienne ankle-strap peep-toe stilettos. She had minimal make-up and her face was framed by her curls which she let fall down her back.
"What?" she asked, looking down at her outfit, "I know it's not designer or posh but it's the only thing. I mean I can change if you wan…"
"No" Kol cut her off, clearing his throat when it broke, "no you look stunning. You just took my breath away." Caroline blushed and looked down at the floor. Kol walked over to her and lifted her chin so she was looking into his eyes.
"Don't ever doubt yourself" he whispered, placing a soft kiss on her lips. Caroline's eyes fluttered close at the feeling of his lips on hers. They broke apart and Kol gave her a smile.
"You can just put your stuff into the same bag as mine, less to carry" he said, pointing to the bag on his bed. Caroline nodded and moved to pack a change of clothes for tomorrow.
Kol walked into the bathroom to spray on his cologne. When he walked back out Caroline had zipped up the bag and was ready to go. He picked up the bag and slung it over his shoulder and offered his other arm to Caroline who took it without hesitation.
"So how did you two meet?" Katherine asked, not being able to resist asking the question everyone had been avoiding.
"Katerina" Elijah growled under his breath.
"What? Everyone wants to know!" She defended. Kol had his arm slung around the back of Caroline's chair and Caroline had positioned herself closer to Kol.
"Do you want to tell them? Or shall I my beautiful angel?" Kol asked, eyes twinkling with amusement.
"I will, if you don't mind?" Caroline asked, and Kol made a gesture for her to continue.
"Okay well, Kol walked into the gentlemen's club I work in one day" Caroline started but stopped when Elijah, Klaus, Finn, Rebekah and Mikael spit out their drinks when she announced her job.
"What's a gentlemen's club?" Henrik asked her.
"It's where girls" Caroline started but stopped when Tatia cut her off.
"Do you really believe it's appropriate to tell him these things?" She asked astonished that Caroline was about to tell a 12 year old what a gentlemen's club is, Caroline rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You'll find out one day Henrik, maybe you can come to the one I work at" Caroline said excitedly.
"Absolutely not!" Klaus growled at Caroline.
"Calm down! I was joking, anyways Kol walked in and saw me preforming. He came in everyday for 3 months before finally coming up and talking to me. He asked me out and I humoured him. He took me to a posh restaurant and I hated it, I couldn't even understand the menu!" She continued spinning the fake tale, Kol just nodded along, chuckling every now and then. His arm that was around her shoulders rubbing circles on her bare arm, causing goose-bumps to rise. Everyone chuckled at her tale except Klaus who was sending glares at both Caroline and Kol.
"Anyways, that date sucked and I wasn't planning on letting have another one. But he persisted for months, coming in and watching me, waiting for my shifts to finish. Some of them started at 6 at night and ended at 3 the next morning but Kol stayed nonetheless. And after resisting his puppy dog face for 6 months I gave in and agreed to another date. This time he took me to a diner nearby and we had greasy burgers, then went to an ice-rink." Caroline smiled, enjoying telling a fake story which she oddly wished was true.
"And while we were there, there was an elderly couple who saw me teaching Kol how to skate and they came over and told us 'young love is a beautiful thing and I can see it with you two'."
"Caroline obviously blushed" Kol interjected, "and I said the whole 'thank you' thing and the couple talked to us for a while more and then they asked what Caroline did for a job. And I told them she was a dancer in the most high-end gentlemen's club, it's safe to say their head nearly exploded. They shuffled off quickly but Caroline just stared at me in astonishment. I thought she was furious at me for saying she worked there." Kol continued but Caroline cut in again, looking deep into his eyes.
"But really I couldn't believe the pride in his voice when he mentioned my job. He wasn't embarrassed by it or ashamed. He didn't try hide it. I brought him into a kiss which broke when he slipped on the ice. I'm telling you he's like Bambi. But he's my Bambi" she smiled, placing a kiss on his lips.
"And so she went on more and more dates with me until I proposed, she rejected me, the stubborn girl. I think I asked her 25 times before she finally accepted and I think she only accepted just to shut me up" Kol grinned, love filling his eyes. Caroline noticed this and smiled wider.
"No, I finally accepted the 25th time because that was how many dates it took for me to finally admit to myself that I loved you" she said softly.
"You don't honestly believe that story do you?" Klaus scoffed.
"Why? It's true" Caroline turned to look at Klaus.
"Please, it was so completely made up" Klaus argued.
"I think it's sweet" Sage piped in, smiling over at Caroline and Kol.
"I agree with Sage" Katherine spoke up, taking Elijah's hand in her own, "love is ridiculous and never perfect. Love is arguments and resistance. And I think that it is amazing of Kol to be so proud of your job."
"Here, here!" Henrik cheered, raising his glass.
Caroline was standing on deck looking out at sea, revelling in the cool ocean breeze.
"That was quite the story", Caroline turned to see Klaus leaning against the side of the boat and staring at her.
"Better than ours" she said, looking at him icily.
"No. I would say ours was just as good" he answered, moving closer, "what are you really doing? I know for sure you aren't Kol's fiancée. He would readily fuck any girl." Caroline flinched when he mention Kol wanting to 'fuck' anyone.
"I'm his fiancée, Klaus" she said her voice wavering slightly.
"I'd bet that he brought you here to cause trouble, and that you are just pretending to be his fiancée. Let me tell you what happens after this weekend, you two will have your fun pretending at the wedding. Then once you get back everything will go back to the way it was, Kol fucking anything that has two legs and you selling your body for money. All those 'feelings' he says he has will be empty promises." Klaus moved closer so he was in her personal space, Caroline's bottom lip wobbled and tears filled her eyes. A loud smack could be heard throughout the yacht, Klaus stood there with a red mark on his cheek.
"I hope you burn in hell" she spoke through her tears before pushing past him and into the berth her and Kol were sharing. Kol saw Caroline walking towards him.
"Hey there you are" he said only for her to push past him, he grabbed hold of her elbow making her turn around and look at him.
"What's wrong? You're crying" he said wiping away his tears.
"Nothing, just stay away from me Kol okay. Go spend time with your brother, it's his wedding after all" she spat, before practically sprinting to their berth. Kol clenched his fists and jaw. He turned and walked in the direction Caroline came from and found his brother standing there with a satisfied smirk on his face.
"What did you say to her?" Kol demanded, flexing his fists.
"What do you mean?" Klaus asked acting innocent.
"What the FUCK did you say to Caroline!?" Kol shouted. Klaus chuckled and full out laughed when he saw the look on Kol's face.
"Oh my god! You've convinced yourself this is real? You've fallen for her, my sloppy seconds!" Klaus barked out.
"Take that back" Kol said through gritted teeth.
"It's true though" Klaus taunted, "I've had her before you. I know what to do to make her moan in pleasure. I know what to do to make her gasp in a mixture of pain and pleasure. How to get her to beg. How to make her a withering mess under my body" Klaus couldn't continue because Kol's fist collided with his face.
"Kol!" Elijah shouted, pulling him away from where he was beating up Klaus. Henrik heard the racket, coming out of his berth and finding his brothers fighting. Finn stood between Klaus and Kol.
"Don't you dare fucking talk about her like that!" He spat, trying to get out of Elijah's hold.
"What's going on?" Henrik asked, confused why they were fighting.
"What's happening is this" Klaus said moving past Finn and managing to get in several harsh blows before Finn pulled him back. Kol had visibly slumped in Elijah's hold, no longer fighting it.
"Nik was being an ass and talking shit about Caroline" Kol spat before shrugging Elijah off and walking away.
"Caroline and I will be leaving in the morning once we've docked and packed our stuff." Kol said gruffly before retreating to Henrik's berth knowing that Caroline didn't want to see him.
Katherine heard the commotion and came out her berth just as Kol walked into Henrik's, Henrik following shortly after.
"Henry" she called out, stopping him before he entered, "what's going on?" Henrik sighed and walked towards Katherine.
"Apparently Nik said some things about Caroline and Kol didn't like what they were and they just started hitting each other. But also before Kol confronted Klaus, I saw Klaus talk to Caroline and then she slapped him and ran off." Henrik explained, Katherine nodded but stopped him before he tried to enter his berth.
"Come, let's talk to Caroline first" she tugged him in the direction of the berth. They knocked and walked in to find Caroline lying on the bed crying.
"Caroline?" Henrik said timidly, moving towards the blonde.
"Please leave" she said between sobs. Henrik ignored her and pulled her into a hug, letting her curl into him.
"It's okay" he hushed, Katherine smiled at the scene and sat on the other side of Caroline and rubbed soothing circles on the blondes back.
"You know after you came in here, Kol confronted Klaus" Katherine piped up and watched as the blonde stopped crying and resulted to sniffling instead. She shifted out of Henrik's hold and looked at Katherine.
"What? Why?"
"Because he loves you and he didn't like that Klaus hurt you" Katherine explained.
"He doesn't love me" she said, not willing to believe them, Klaus' words ringing through her brain.
Then once you get back everything will go back to the way it was, Kol fucking anything that has two legs and you selling your body for money. All those 'feelings' he says he has will be empty promises.
"Bull shit!" Henrik shouted but apologized after Katherine sent him a look, "look, I have never seen Kol so mad before. He got pretty beat up by Nik." Worry overtook Caroline's body.
"Is he okay?" she asked immediately. Katherine secretly winked at Henrik.
"I'm not sure, he's in Henrik's berth. Maybe you should go check on him" Katherine suggested.
"Oh. I mean why don't you go Henrik?" Caroline turned to him.
"I'm going to go check on Nik, he's annoying but he's my brother" Henrik apologized.
"Katherine?" Caroline turned to her.
"I mean I could" Katherine shrugged.
"Don't you want to check on Elijah?" Henrik asked, feigning curiosity.
"Why would I want to do that?" Katherine asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
"He was involved in the scuffle" Henrik shrugged.
"Damn you Elijah" Katherine cursed before standing up, "sorry I've got to go check on my idiot husband. Looks like you've got to check up on Kol." Henrik and Katherine ran out of the room, giving each other a fist bump before rushing into her berth to hide.
Caroline sighed and decided to change first into her night clothes. Not because she was putting off checking on Kol. Of course not. She lied to herself. She opened the bag and cursed when she remembered she forgot to pick out her sleepwear. She rummaged about and found Kol's shirt, she shimmied out of her dress and pulled it on, biting her lip as the fabric touched her skin.
"You can do this" she whispered to herself, opening the door and walking over to Henrik's berth, pausing outside it.
"Come on Caroline" she mumbled before opening the door. She gasped at the sight. Kol had a bloodied lip and nose, a bruise was forming on his jaw and eye. He was gripping onto his abdomen and his shirt was covered in blood.
"Oh my god Kol!" she rushed to him, touching his face tentatively.
"It looks worse than it feels" he said, chuckling but groaning at the stinging in his chest.
"What happened?"
"I didn't like what Nik had to say about you" Kol smiled, "I was defending your honour my fair maiden. But I guess this makes me look like a total bad ass." He joked.
"Kol this isn't funny" she stood and went to the connected bathroom and came back with a first aid box. She dabbed his cuts with antiseptic and stopped when she heard his hiss of pain.
"It's okay" Kol whispered, "it doesn't hurt." Caroline still didn't do anything, Kol put his hands on the back of her bare legs and pulled her so she was straddling his lap. He lifted her hand which had the cotton and put it on one of his cuts, gritting his teeth at the stinging.
"Kol" she said worried and trying to pull her hand back.
"I'm fine, I've got you" he whispered. Caroline nodded and started wiping away the blood and cleaning the wounds, still sitting on his lap. Kol put his hands on her waist rubbing circles on them. Caroline put plasters on top of his cuts and placed a kiss on top of each of the injuries covering his face. Finally she pulled back slightly and started undoing the buttons of his dress shirt.
"What are you doing Caroline?" He asked softly, watching as she focused on unbuttoning his shirt instead of looking at him.
"Taking care of you" she whispered, pushing the material off his shoulders. Kol reluctantly pulled his hands away from her to take off his shirt. She gasped when she saw the giant purple bruise covering his abdomen.
She lightly traced the outline of it causing Kol to shiver.
"Does it hurt?" she asked, finally looking up at him and into his eyes.
"Not as much as when you asked me to stay away from you" he answered truthfully, wiping away a tear that fell down her face.
"I've fallen for you" she confessed, bringing her hands up his torso and into his hair, "I know this was for pretend but… God dammit Kol, I've fallen for you."
"I've fallen for you too darling" he replied, bringing his hands under his shirt that she was wearing and up her back.
"Are you going to leave me?" she asked, her insecurities rising to the surface and Klaus' words coming back to her.
Then once you get back everything will go back to the way it was, Kol fucking anything that has two legs.
All those 'feelings' he says he has will be empty promises.
"Only if you want me to" he answered, smiling gently at her, "otherwise I'll be following you like a lost puppy." Caroline let out a small laugh.
"I want you to stay around me" she confessed.
"Good."
"Good." She pressed a kiss on his lips, as if sealing the promise between the two of them. When they broke apart Kol had a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"What?" she asked.
"You're wearing my shirt" he stated causing Caroline to blush.
"I forgot my pyjamas" she lamely said, sending him a sheepish smile.
"Well I think I would like my shirt back" he said huskily, lust filling his eyes.
"Take it then" she whispered on his lips. They spent the night expressing all their feelings for each other in bed. Henrik ended up sleeping in Kol and Caroline's berth because they were too busy defiling his.
2 months later
Kol and Caroline were walking hand in hand through a park, laughing and talking about Kol's job which he recently acquired. They reached the middle which was filled with people who were having lunch, meeting friends, exercising or just generally enjoying the day. Kol reached the middle and stood on the side of the fountain.
"Kol what are you doing?" Caroline hissed, trying to pull him down.
"Caroline Forbes!" Kol shouted, getting everyone's attention. Caroline blushed from embarrassment and tried to get him down again but he just waved her off.
"Caroline Forbes! My STRIPPER girlfriend!" by now Caroline was dying and wanted him to finish quickly, "will you move in with me!"
"Yes! Oh my god you idiot! Get down here" she tugged him and he finally climbed down, bringing her into a hug. She hid her face in the crook of his neck and fisted her hands in the front of his shirt.
"You're so annoying" she mumbled into his collar, "why couldn't you ask me like a normal person?"
"Because we aren't normal, you strip for a living which I respect. More power to you darling! And I own said gentlemen's club! I am like your pimp" he joked. Caroline just scoffed into his collar and stayed in his embrace.
"I love you, and we're already engaged. It's about time we lived together" Kol whispered.
"I love you too" Caroline replied, pulling her head away from his neck to place a kiss on his lips. Just then an elderly couple approached them.
"Congratulations" the woman said, smiling at them.
"Thank you" Caroline replied, a feint blush gracing her cheeks.
"Young love is a beautiful thing and I can see it with you two" the man said.
"Thank you very much sir" Kol replied, "how long have you two been together?"
"75 years" he said proudly, placing a kiss on his wife's hand.
"Congratulations, how did you manage to stay together all that time?" Caroline asked. They both chuckled and the woman spoke up.
"Just like you two are surviving. We aren't ashamed of anything either of us do, we are proud of each other and we don't judge. You two will be together for long, I can sense it."
"Thank you" they both replied at the same time. They talked to them for a few minutes before the couple needed to leave. Kol turned to Caroline and smiled.
"Do you think that's going to be us?" Caroline asked curiously.
"Yup and the reason we would have to stop talking to the young couple is because you would need to go back to the club to strip" Kol joked.
"Ew, I'm not stripping when I'm old and wrinkly" she scrunched her nose up in disgust, "you really love getting to tell people you're engaged to a stripper don't you?"
