Hey, guys, I just got an idea for "Stolen Moments" while looking at a picture of Joseph Morgan on Facebook (the one with him in a bathtub, his eyes closed and his head back, with a cigarette). Anyway, it gave me a great idea and I wanted to use it! I was also inspired by Litlover's story, "When A Man Loves a Woman." Thank you for all the great reviews!

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

Caroline sighed as she walked into the mansion. She couldn't believe the day she had and the only thing she wanted to do was have a nice hot bath and just wash it all away. However, when she got in, she saw rose petals on the floor that stretched all the way from the foyer to the grand staircase. That's weird. These weren't here when I left. Who did all this?

The answer to her question came in the form of a single rose on the table in the foyer with a note attached to it, her name etched across the front in an elegant cursive. She opened it and saw the message inside:

"Caroline,

Follow the petals to the bathroom. Your surprise awaits you there.

Fondly,

Klaus."

Caroline laughed when she finished reading the note. She had a feeling that Klaus was responsible for this. Eager to find out what her surprise was, she followed the petals all the way upstairs. When she reached the top flight, she heard music playing. It was faint, but it gradually got louder as she got closer to the bathroom. When she got there, she found the door open a crack. Licking her lips, Caroline pushed the door open and sure enough, she saw Klaus in the tub, smiling at her.

"Klaus, you really didn't have to do all this."

"Can't a man do something special for the woman he loves?" he replied. "I planned the whole thing while I was waiting for you."

Caroline laughed. "When the note said that my surprise was waiting upstairs, I never imagined that it would be you." She sighed. "Well, I am surprised, I'll tell you that much."

"Care to join me, love?" said Klaus. "There's room for two in this tub."

Caroline looked at the tub and saw that it was definitely big enough for two people. Since she did want to forget all about the day she had, she figured that it would be rude not to take her boyfriend up on his offer and join him.

"Okay, just let me get undressed first and I'll join you."

With that being said, she vamp sped to the bedroom and returned with a silk robe draped around her, which she removed and climbed into the tub, feeling the water as it made contact with her foot. She then lifted the other foot to put it in the water, but she felt herself falling forward. Fortunately, Klaus caught her, preventing her from falling any further.

"Thank you."

"No problem," he replied. "I wouldn't want you to fall in. If you want, I can help you in the rest of the way."

Caroline nodded and Klaus held her firmly as she eased herself into the water, wrapping her arms around his waist and snuggled against him. This was just what the doctor ordered and she was definitely grateful that he had planned this whole surprise for her. He always knew how to make her day better.

"So, what do you think, love?" said Klaus. "Did you like your surprise?"

"Oh, yes, definitely," said Caroline. "You really know how to make a bad day better." She sighed. "I don't know what I'd do without you around."

"Don't think about it."

Caroline nodded. "Oh, don't worry, I'm definitely not going to think about it. Hell, I don't want to think about it." She kissed him softly. "The only thing I want to think about is my sexy hybrid and how much he means to me."

"Sounds like a plan to me," said Klaus. "There's nothing like a hot bath to forget about a bad day not seem so bad."

Caroline said nothing to that, just kissed him again and went back to snuggling against his chest.
