Chapter 9 : The calm before the storm
Disclaimer : I own nothing
The side of his bed where the blonde beauty that haunted his thoughts in reality and in his dreams was empty..
It usually was since he had always slept late. But Caroline would wake him when she got up, not that he complained of course.. The waking up process usually included open mouthed kisses on his neck and chest which eventually led to a good morning session of sex that kickstarted their day.
Instead of finding her in his bed next to him, he smiled catching a glimpse of the small note that was left on her pillow.
You worked so late last night you deserved to sleep. Didn't want to wake you..
Went out for a run, be back in 20
xoxo
Feeling a little spontaneous, Klaus decided to suprise her with a breakfast when she returned. He was certain she hadn't eaten before she left since the only time Caroline came into the kitchen was when her compulsive disorder kicked in with the urge to clean everything..but never to cook.
God forbid.. He thought giggling at the memory of her surprising him the other night with a 'home-cooked dinner' or so she called it.
Long story short, Caroline had ended up burning what was suppose to be pot roast and not to mention the overcooked macaroni that was even soggier than the cheese topping.
In total honesty Klaus found it completely fascinating as to how this girl, that according to him was aboslutely stunning and always did everything to a perfect and irrationally high standard, could not for the life of her infiltrate it into her cooking skills.
Feeling sad and completely disheartened to her failed attempts at a good dinner, Klaus was quick to assure her that it was the thought at the end of the day that mattered..of course bringing a radiant and appreciative smile from Caroline who immediately perked up.
He was being sweet yes, but he was not going to eat that 'food'. So after a quick throw out and washing of dishes, they settled on the living room floor with chinese take out. They had furniture and a perfectly good table to sit and eat at, but the floor was kinda their 'thing' so they stuck to the tradition.
Giggling at the memory, Klaus quickly threw on some pants before getting started on breakfast. Instead of a bacon grease breakfast that he would usually cook, he opted for a more healthier alternative since Caroline had made him start eating healthier and somehow managed to convince him to agree to a gym membership.
As Kol would so nicely put it, this would seem as Klaus being 'totally pussy-whipped' but in Klaus's mind him and Caroline had the perfect arrangement, or relationship.. Or whatever it is they had. And with that came certain compromises like gym, dishes and even watching The Notebook on repeat.
With a sharp intake of breath and his morning coffee that was black like his soul..or so he'd like to think, he started on the meal and about a few minutes later he heard the key in the door.
In came a flustered, sweaty yet smiling Caroline.
"You're up." She smiled taking off her trainers
"Morning sweetheart." He responded as she rounded the counter to kiss her
"I'm sweaty.." Caroline giggled dodging his attempt to kiss her
"I don't care." He smiled bringing her in a heated kiss wrapping his arms fiercely around her.
After a good make out sesh and admirable compliments from her at his profound cooking and healthy choice at that, Klaus and Caroline settled on the patio finishing up the last bits of their breakfast and coffee
"So what have you got planned for today love?" He spoke from his side at the table
"Hmm nothing much, I had a meeting with the mayor, but his assistant called to reschedule." She shrugged
"You?" She added
"Other than the last 2 pieces I finished last night, I'm pretty much free for the rest of today." He smirked his mind already going into overdrive in how 'productive' they could be today since they both had a free schedule.
"Is that the time?! Shit. We have to go to the store." Caroline shot up wide eyed suddenly remembering something very important from this morning's jog.
"I thought we usually did groceries on Thursday" Klaus frowned
"Oh.. I forgot to tell you, we're having a guest over for lunch." Caroline smiled sweetly at Klaus as he sighed
She knew if it were up to him, they would spend every waking moment in his bed ravishing eachother and as much as she'd love that, she had other plans for the day. She had met the landlady's daughter this morning and after hearing that she didn't have much friends as she was only in the country for a certain period to visit her mom because her work kept her in London mostly, Caroline felt bad so she invited her over for lunch which the red head greatly appreciated.
"Katerina sees you more than I do, she does have a husband and a twin you know." Klaus sighed pouting almost as if he were a child who didn't like sharing his shiny toys with the other children in the sandbox.
Caroline giggled walking over to him and taking a place on his lap. His arms instictively wrapped around her waist.
"You know she's like my other half. Besides..its not Kat." Caroline smiled wrapping her arms around his neck
Klaus looked up to her and frowned
"Kol has an apartment as well as many one night stander's that he could have lunch with." He growled burying his face in her chest and was instantly happy to feel that she hadn't been wearing a bra
"Its not Kol either." Caroline sighed nudging him up to look at her. Klaus was such a drama queen sometimes a horny one at that.
"Is it a client?" He frowned
"This morning, I met Ms Murphy's daughter. She doesn't really have friends since she's only been here for a couple of months. She originally lives in London because of her job so I thought...why not invite her over for lunch?" She smiled
"If it were up to you..you'd invite the entire New Orleans to lunch after some heartfelt sappy story." Klaus muttered lowly earning a playful punch against his arm
"Hey.. I'm just being neighbourly." Caroline rolled her eyes
"How can you expect me to eat, let alone have an appetite with Murphy's mole staring me blatanly in the face Caroline." Klaus grimaced
"Its just her daughter Klaus." Caroline giggled
"And do tell, who will be cooking this infamous lunch for Murphy junior hmm?.." He teased looking at her with his eyebrows raised.
"...well... I was thinking, if you could do this little thing for me, and maybe I could..." She purred and then whispered all the naughty little things she would do for him into his ear
Klaus's body went rigid.
"Well we should probably get to the store right away then." He coughed awkwardly hitting her ass playfully as they got up
"I need to shower first." She smiled. She was a little vixen, she knew exactly how to get Klaus to do things for her.
"Well I could help with that too.." He smirked walking toward her
"No. We'll end up being late and then not having any food for lunch at all. I'll be 5 minutes." She pecked him quickly on the lips and sprinted to the bathroom not forgetting to lock the door just in case Klaus decided to join her after all. She sucked with the self-control whenever it came to their close proximity. As soon as those perfect rosy lips touched her neck... She was a goner.
"So I really do like the marble for the counter-tops. I think I'm going with it after all." Katherine stated to the interior designer that was re-decorating the house much to Katherine's insistance on keeping up with the latest home style trends.
"Excellent." The designer smiled as she scrolled down a few things on her list that was on her tablet. She was somewhat relieved, Katherine Mikealson was a indecisive client but Bonnie Bennet had worked hard to not only earn a well-known name amongst the elitist of New Orleans creme of the crop in interior design, but also managed to secure her own business independently and that at the age of 23 years of age.
"Have you reconsidered the plans about the nursery yet?" Bonnie muttered lowly knowing it was a touchy subject with Katherine. She couldn't understand why Katherine's ideas for the nursery revolved around stylings for a girl. She was only about a month into her pregnancy and she didn't even know the sex yet.
"I have an appointment later today for the first ultrasound which will not only prove that I am right about it being a girl, but yes.. You should go ahead with the plans as usual." Katherine rolled her eyes
"Very well." Bonnie responded tight lipped
"I do think that the crib should-" Kat started
"Why is it that when I'm over here there is never any cooked food?" Kol sighed dramaticly entering the living room
"That's because you weren't invited and pretty much show up unannounced." Katherine scowled shaking her head
Kol smirked at his sister-in-law but hadn't missed the woman who had been sitting with her back facing him that had yet to turn around.
"Bonnie..I'm sorry. Where were we?" Kat sighed
"The crib.." Bonnie smiled ignoring the man that entered the room since she knew it wasn't Katherine's husband, as she had already met him a few times. And by the expression the man elicited from Katherine's face, she doubted he was good news.
"Oh come now sister. Is my nephew making you grumpy and hormonal again." Kol grinned coming within view of both of the women.
He noticed the scowl on Katerina's face, smiling as he had succeeded in his attempts to irritate her, and then he turned to her companion who was seated opposite her legs crossed one over the other.
From bottom to top he eyed her appreciatively. She had black heeled pumps that accentuated her long bronze legs which seemed to go on forever until it reached her fitted pencil skirt and silk blouse. Her attire was classy but it didn't hide the curvy hips and bust of the beautiful girl which had Kol's mouth dry at the sight
He had yet to see her face, but her sophisticated style alone had him captivated.
And then he saw her, the bronzed beauty with hazel brown eyes that held his gaze behind fashionable nerd glasses and dark brown hair that was cut just under her face.
She oozed sophistication and confidence and Kol had been intrigued. She looked like a naughty librarian which dare he say it; happened to be one of his all time fantasy's.
"Kol Mikealson." He put his hand forward smirking no less. It was the Mikealson trade mark
"Bonnie Bennet." She stated looking at him directly in the eyes no matter how much she wanted to gape at the beautiful man infront of her she reminded herself that she was here to work. She also hadn't missed the way he had eyed her body hungrily and that for her was already not earning brownie points, which is why she didn't shake his hand.
She quickly dismissed him with a stiff nod and looked back to Katherine who had been observing them closely.
"Everything for the kitchen and living room seems to be in check..which just leaves the last minute approvals on the nursery, but we can do that on Friday. If that's all." Bonnie smiled standing up and smoothed out her skirt.
"Yeah, that sounds great. I'll text you after the appointment at the doctor's" Katherine said quickly snapping out of the overdrive her mind had been in.
"I'll walk you out.." Kol suggested
"That's fine. I know the way out." Bonnie stated turning to leave, but was soon followed by Kol no less.
Well thank god for the large house Katherine and Elijah had lived in. It would give him a little time to get to know Bonnie during their walk from the living room to the front door.
"So you're the interior designer.. You know I might be in need of your assistance darling. My bedroom is in much need of an up-do, perhaps you could help me out..." He smirked
Bonnie hadn't missed the innuendo. And was immediately reassured that she had been right in her first impression of Kol; He was a prick.
"You must have me mistaken for one of your tramps." Bonnie rolled her eyes dismissively and cotinued to walk, she couldn't get away from him fast enough. But she was a lady, a classy one at that and regained composure.
Kol stood for minute thinking of his next approach.
"You wound me love." He held a hand to his heart and frowned slightly
"I really do however, want to take you out for dinner. Perhaps you can jot me in on that tablet of yours." He winked
Bonnie was so relieved to have reached the front door and suddenly spun around staring at Kol straight in the eyes.
"I would, but you'd probably try to stick your dick in there too." She shrugged and with that, turned around clicking the button on her car keys to disarm the alarm of her Mercedes SLK.
It wasn't that he didn't have a smart ass comeback, he just couldn't seem to form a single one. Instead he stood in awe as he watched Bonnie slip into her car and then speed off putting as much distance between them as possible.
What was it about this the feisty little thing that had him so intrigued?
Whatever it was, Kol was hell-bent on finding out.
"Why was the store even that full today. Agh we're so late." Caroline sighed placing the brown bags onto the kitchen counter
"Relax. I'll get started on this and you can set the table." He smiled
They had atleast spent a half hour on deciding what they would have for lunch.
Klaus didn't give a horses arse about Murphy's daughter coming over for lunch, but he knew Caroline was still trying to make a good impression on the landlady and she thought that by acing this lunch, she would have done that.
They bantered over the main course much to Klaus's dislike. He was the cook so he should decide. But she felt she should decide seeing as she planned these things for a living.
So on and on they went until finally the came to an agreement
Eventually they had agreed on chicken breasts with a feta cheese and spinach stuffing accompanied by roasted veggies and a green salad. They were trying to eat more healthy after all.
The food was cooked and all that still needed to be done was to eat it. Their guest had yet to arrive so Klaus decided on a change of clothing was in order.
"Hi Genevieve come on in." Caroline smiled after answering the door and ushering the red haired woman inside
"Hey, I brought wine." She shrugged
"Thanks. Nik's just getting changed quickly and then we can eat. Would you mind helping me bring these to the table.." Caroline asked
"Yeah sure." She smiled and helped Caroline bring the food over to the table.
"I guess we should start on the wine. Its a really good brand by the way." Caroline smiled
"Oh?"
"Yeah, being in the events industry, some clients whip out quite a fortune on some good wine so, I do know a good bottle when I see one." She shrugged
Genevieve and Caroline politely chatted as they had that very morning during their run whilst appreciating the fine wine.
"Sorry about that love," Klaus muttered to Caroline smoothing out his henley as he entered the living room causing both women to turn to him
Genevieve suddenly choked on her wine and then started coughing franticly apon seeing the emerging figure
Wasn't that...no it couldn't be..
Klaus?
Klaus looked up and his mouth immediately went dry as he saw the red haired woman he remembered had woken up in his bed once, that now was seated at their table staring at him intensely.
"Are you okay" Caroline frowned at Genevieve
"Er..yeah." She smiled tight lipped
"Could I use your bathroom?" She added
"Down the passage second door to your right." Caroline stated eyeing Klaus wearily as he had stood infront of the table awkwardly.
Genevieve could not reach the bathroom faster and immediately shut the door.
Klaus eventually took his seat next to Caroline, and poured him a generous helping of wine before downing it in one go.
This was fucked up.
No really.
What the fuck?!
The 'Jen something' woman from his apartment was Murphy's daughter? What were the fucking chances? He sighed already onto his second glass
"Easy there cowboy.. What's wrong.." Caroline frowned. She hadn't missed the weird behaviour from both Klaus and Genevieve.
"Nothing.." He smiled tight lipped.
XXXX
Genevieve stared at herself in the mirror after washing her face with cold water.
The guy that she had slept with a few months ago was married?
She didn't quite peg him for the commitment type of person and guessed he wasn't seeing as he cheated on his wife.
She knew one thing for sure, Klaus was insanely gorgeous and had by far been one of the best she'd ever had. His accent made her miss her home in London which strangely made her want to speak to him all day long
It wasn't as if she had never done one night stands before, its just that Klaus had been so incredibly...'Wow' in bed and she thought she was over the fact that he practically kicked her out of his apartment without getting her number, but seeing him again after these few months had stirred some wild emotions within her.
She smirked at herself in the mirror.
Oh.. She was going to have fun with this...
Katherine and Elijah had been seated in the doctor's room patiently awaiting for her to come and do the usual check up.
Only this time they were excited since they would finally find out if it was a girl or boy. Katherine was sure it was a girl, Kol was sure it was a boy, but Elijah had been happy with either one.
"Good day Mr and Mrs Mikealson, and how are we feeling today?" Dr Meredith Fell smiled entering the room
"Grumpy, hormonal and craving anchovies with pickles" Kat grimaced earning a chuckle from Elijah. He was no stranger to his wife's weird cravings, in fact he had been the one on the 24/7 call for the late night trips to the store whenever she craved for something.
The combinations of food were strange and somewhat gross, but it was what his baby wanted and made his wife happy so he easily obliged.
"That's very normal Mrs Mikealson." Dr Fell giggled
"Now shall we get started on the ultrasound? You are finally far along enough to be able to determine the sex." Meredith smiled knowing how eager Katherine had been to find out the sex
"Please." Katherine groaned. She just wanted to get this over with so that she could rub it in Kol's face how right she was about it being a girl. Or so she'd hoped
Dr Fell placed the cool gel on Katherine's small bump and then started roaming the wand connected to the huge monitor beside the bed Katherine had been lying down on, all over her belly.
"Hmm.. Let's see.." The doctor started
Elijah had been beside his wife all the time holding her hand in anticipation.
"Ah! There she is." The doctor smiled
"She?" Katherine grinned starting to tear up. Saying it had been a girl to everyone had been one thing, but having heared it confirmed was a different thing.
"Congratulations. Its indeed a baby girl after all." Meredith smiled at the screen.
"Can you see that little moving spot on the screen? That's her heartbeat. Would you like to hear it?"
"Yes." Elijah responded immediately
And soon after, the sound of their baby girl's heartbeat boomed throughout the room.
It was fast and strong...
Katherine was not an emotional person, but after hearing her daughter's heartbeat for the first time she couldn't help but shed a few tears. She was all to happy having Elijah beside her who had the most loving look on his face that added to the assurance that he was going to make a great father indeed.
She squeezed his hand causing him to tear his gaze away from the screen and to his wife who smiled at him. He kissed her forehead and nuzzled her hair to the side to whisper into her ear
"You were right after all. You made me the happiest man alive Katerina." Elijah sighed
Meredith smiled at the beautiful exchange between the couple.
"Would you like a picture?" She smiled
"5 copies actually." Katherine quickly added
"Er.. 5?" Meredith asked a little dumbfounded. Usually couples were happy with two.
"Yes well one for us, another for rubbing in Kol's face, one for Care, one for Elena and Jer and one to send to my in-laws in England of course." Katherine shrugged
"So how long have you two been married?" Genevieve purred looking at Klaus who scowled at her knowing exactly to what she was getting at.
Remembering the intial story they had told Murphy, Caroline quickly intercepted before Klaus said the wrong thing
"About a year." She smiled
"Wow.. It seems so long and yet you to seem so in love." She smirked
Caroline had noticed the sudden change in Genevieve's behaviour ever since she came out the bathroom. A little confused and somewhat anxious she looked to Klaus who had a look of grief and anger on his face as he continued to drink his wine. He hadn't said one word throughout most of the lunch.
"Yeah.." Caroline muttered trying to put the pieces together of what exactly was going on because the tension in the room had gotten so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"Well we seem to be out of wine.. I'll go get some more." Caroline added trying to get away from Genevieve who she feared was onto them. Perhaps she knew the little married act she and Klaus were putting up was fake and were going to rat them out to her mother.. That had to be the reason why she was acting so weird right?
As soon as Caroline was out of sight. Klaus was quick to scowl at the red head opposite him
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing." He growled lowly not to alert Caroline who was only a room away.
"I could ask you the same question 'Nik'..I thought you're name was Klaus, or was that just another thing you've been keeping from you're wife." Genevieve smirked
"Not that its any of your business, you were merely a one night stand. Get. Over. It. In fact, why don't you get out of my house as well." He muttered
"Well..why don't we ask Caroline how she feels about that."
"Come on Klaus, you know we had fun.." She reached her long legs out rubbing her foot against Klaus's upper legs.
"Emphasis on 'had'. Are you even aware of what a one night stand entails love?.." He started and at that point, failed to notice Caroline hovering at the entrance
"We fucked, it was nothing but a means to and end." He smirked seeing the scowl on her face.
Genevieve scowled at Klaus after hearing him call her not too subtly a 'mistkae' and was about to tell him where to stick it, when she caught sight of Caroline standing there looking at them,.
Seeing the shocked look on Klaus's face was enough to bring a sadistic smirk to Genevieve's face.
"Caroline-" he started
"I think its time for you to leave." Caroline scowled at Genevieve who took her time gathering her hand bag, flipped her hair giving Klaus one last longing look and then walked out.
As soon as Caroline heard the door close she began gathering the dirty plates on the table.
Klaus didn't know exactly what to say or do. How did he explain a mistake from his past before he had even met her? Did he even have to explain? It was after all before he knew Caroline.
"Let me help." He shot up reaching for the dishes.
"I got it." She fired back stomping toward the kitchen
"You're angry.." He sighed following her
"Why would I be angry.." She muttered
"Look what happened with Genevieve-" he started
"Is none of my business." She added
"Of course it is.. Although it was a long time ago love, I had no idea she was Murphy's daughter. It was just one night." He sighed
"You don't..owe me an explanation Klaus." She sighed placing the dishes all to roughly into the basin to wash them.
"Then why are you so upset?" He frowned
"Its..its nothing." She quickly dismissed him
Annoyed and a little irritated Klaus clenched his jaw before walking around the counter to where she stood with her back to him.
"I don't understand why you're upset. Had it been one of your exes? I'd never been as angry as you now are! I mea-"
"I don't give a fuck about your past Klaus!. The minute you saw her you should've told me.. It'd save us a whole lot of awkward conversations not to mention wine!" She scoffed
"You're being ridiculous." He sighed shaking his head and then walked off to the bedroom.
As a matter of fact, Caroline knew she was being ridiculous. She sounded like a putelant child, but she just couldn't stop the pang she felt when she heard him utter those words...whether they were meant for her or not.
'We fucked, it was nothing but a means to and end.'
Was that how he felt about what they had going on as well?
Yes he had said 'he loved her' but even she knew that after merely 3 weeks of pretty much nothing, it was not love at all.
She knew he had just confused those words to fabricate the care he felt for her.
Because that was all it was; Klaus cared about her, and they had sex.. But he didn't love her. Her insecurities were totally biting her in the ass.
Klaus knew she just needed a little time to cool off, maybe do some stress cleaning and then she'll be fine.
They'll be fine.
He had never been in a relationship before, nor did he know what exactly if this was a relationship...so he hadn't been equiped to deal with these types of situations.
In most cases of dramatics, living with a house with 4 siblings and an abusive step-father has taught him the only way he had known to deal with his frustration or grief, he simply just ignored it until it went away. So that was how he thought he should handle this situation, which isn't any much different from the others right?
Caroline needed to blow off some steam, so she called Elena who was about to get ready for a night out with Katherine.
Katherine had cut out alcohol ever since she found she was pregnant, so naturally it made her depressed.
Elena thought it would do her good to get out a little bit, she was pregnant not disabled. And besides, she was hardly showing.. Merely just a little bump.
Arranging to meet at Kat's, Caroline left the house as soon as she could, never minded about what she would wear on their night out. Her clothes were now in the room she shared with Klaus, which would have meant going in there, seeing him, and risking the chance of fighting. She could probably borrow something of Katherine's anyways.
"So how are things with Klaus?" Elena smiled
Katherine Elena and Caroline were lounging in Kat's bedroom while they got ready to go out. Thankfully, Caroline had been inside Kat's walk-in closet; so they couldn't see how her entire face changed apon hearing Elena's words..
"Uh..fine." She muttered.
Katherine snorted.
"You know you might as well come out and say it.." Katherine called out.
Walking out of Katherine's closet in a borrowed Valentino dress.
"This dress looks way better on me.." Caroline smirked walking out to pose. She needed something, anything to avoid talking about Klaus
"You're right it does. But you're changing the subject." Kat rolled her eyes
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to Care.." Elena added
"What? Of course she does." Katherine frowned
Sighing, Caroline sat on the bed beside them with her legs tucked underneath her and then she began the story of what had happened that afternoon.
"That little tramp."
"Yes Kat..we've established that Klaus is a man-whore..let's just not talk about it anymore okay." Caroline sighed
"I'm talking about Genevieve. Care, Klaus did nothing wrong.. Don't you think you're overreacting a bit? I mean if me and Elijah got into a fight after everytime we ran into one of my exes...let's just say we'd have a lot of fights." She shrugged
"I agree Caroline.. Maybe you should call him?"
"I guess.." She dialled his number but it didn't even ring. It was 'busy' meaning had been on the phone already.. Probably talking to someone that's not her.
"Its busy. He'll call back if he wants to." She sighed
"Maybe we should leave, I hear Bourbon street is pretty live tonight.." Kat smiled trying to cheer up her friend.
Meanwhile...
Klaus had heard the front door close indicating Caroline's departue. She must have been really angry.. But he couldn't understand why and that was hours ago.
After a call with Elijah he was notified that Caroline had been over there with the other women. Probably gossiping about him no doubt.
Well if she was being pretty open about all of 'his indiscretions' he needed to vent about his problems too, so he called Kol over who eagerly accepted and was now sprawled out on Klaus's couch nursing a beer like he owned the place.
"You should call her Nik. You know how sensitive women are, one small thing could cause a bloody apocolypse in their minds." Kol sighed after Klaus had filled him in on the gory details.
Kol had a point. So he dialled up Caroline.
"Busy.. If she really wants to speak to me, she'll call back." Klaus sighed
"Well until then, why don't we go out for a drink. " Kol offered.
The total truth being that Kol had been stalking Ms Bennet on facebook all day figuring out her routine. He noted that she was having drinks with some friends tonight over at Cami's. And after Nik called, he sought the perfect opportunity to go there.
"Yes.. And we all know how drinks with you turn out." Klaus rolled his eyes
"Come on Nik, I know you're with Caroline now, well somewhat..., so it'd just be us boys." He winked
"Fine." He sighed and grabbed his jacket as they headed out.
"Stop checking your phone! If he called you'd have heard it." Kat sighed
They had finally managed to leave the house and were now over at Cami's for cocktails and one soda lime for mommy Mikaelson of course.
"Kat's right Care, come on you're with your girls now. Have some fun." Elena nudged
"You're right. Here's to a great night." She raised her cosmo earning a clink from her 2 companion's glasses.
After a few cosmo's Caroline had begun to loosen up.
She yanked Elena out to the dancefloor and since they were both wasted, didn't really care that they bumped a few people out of the way.
Katherine amusingly watched her sister and best-friend grind eachother on the dance floor already earning hungry looks from a few guys in the bar.
"Hey Katherine!" Katherine heard her name called and turned to say Bonnie her interior designer making her way over to the booth.
"Bonnie, what are you doing here?" She smiled. He had liked Bonnie, not only because her style was impeccable but because she somehow reminded her of herself.
"Oh I was going to have a drink with a friend but something came up..." She shrugged
"Hmm.. Got stood up?" Kat shook her head
"Yeah. That asshole begged me for weeks and when I finally agreed to a date, he stands me up." She sighed
"Well, you're welcome to stay here. My sister and friend are out on the dancefloor.. They're wasted." She laughed
"Thanks. I guess that would be better than going home right now." Bonnie shrugged
The girls had eventually came back to the booth and after a couple of shots, everyone got along really well.
"Well as much as I'd like to stay, I have a husband I need to get back to." Katherine smiled
"Boo. You're no fun.." Caroline whined in her drunken state
"I should probably go too, Stefan..is..waiting.." Elena stated through hiccups.
Caroline had someone to go home too. But that someone was probably angry at her and didn't want to speak to her either.
"Want me to drive you Care?" Katherine asked
"Nope. I came here to drink and dance and have fun..and I'm not ready to go home yet." She whined
"Its okay, I'll stay with her and take her home." Bonnie smiled
"Thanks Bon Bon." Caroline smiled pulling her into a hug
"Okay I'll call you later." Kat shook her head and left tugging her twin along.
"So you don't have someone that's waiting up for you?" Bonnie started
"Well yeah...but I don't think he really wants to see me now." She sighed
"And wh-"
"Good evening Bonnie, Caroline..."
"Caroline? What are you doing here?" Kol frowned rubbing his head.
"Kol.." Caroline frowned
"How do you two know eachother?" Caroline turned her head to the side.
"Actually we don't." Bonnie responded
"Well not personally...yet." Kol smiled
"And thank god for that." She muttered
"Caroline.. Ready to go?" Bonnie smiled already feeling thr urge to give in to Kol's advances. He was insanely gorgeous.. And that smirk...don't even get her started!
"So soon?" Kol teased
"I'll take her home." Came another voice
"Klaus.." Caroline bit her lip looking toward Klaus who neared the booth eyeing her worringly
"Is that okay Caroline?" Bonnie had to make sure that Caroline was all good before she left.
"Yeah..I'm fine. Thanks Bonnie." She smiled
Bonnie nodded and slid out the booth trying to put as much distance between her and Kol as possible
"Wait up darling!" Kol instantly called following her like a lost puppy.
"I'm sorry" Caroline sighed looking at Klaus who grabbed her hand
"Let's go home love." He smiled ushering her out the booth and to the car.
XXXX
"Hold on a second there Bonnie..." Kol muttered walking after Bonnie
"What Kol?!" Bonnie scoffed turning around
"I'm afraid we've gotten off on the wrong foot at first, and I'd like to make it up to you.." He smiled
"You want to make it up to me?"
"Can I ?" He pouted
"I don't know.." She shrugged
"You can have my number," she added pulling out a pen and piece of paper from her bag.
"And er..maybe you can." She smiled handing him the page and then got into her car.
He had finally gotten to her! He thought, smiling as he watched he pull off, he opened the page to add the number to his phone. But instead of a number, it read: 'Go fuck yourself.'
"I went to Cami's to get drunk and dance.. And now that you're here I'm pretty sure I'm going to get laid too.." She bit her lip before smashing her lips onto his.
"You're drunk love..." Klaus murmured.
"Not really.." She groaned out and invaded his mouth with her tongue. He could taste the alcohol still on her tongue, but he knew she needed this as much as he did so quickly reciprocated the action, placing his hand on her neck, keeping her close to him.

They had been together for months now and yet she had always somehow surprised him by bringing forth a side of her that he didn't even know existed. He had never seen Caroline so untamed and wild when they had sex before, she easily took control and rode him until they were shaking..dripping wet coming down from the high that had her trembling rolling her eyes backwards and pressing her hands against his chest for support.
He loved watching her come undone.
That alone was enough to send him over the edge. It hadn't been like that ever before with anyone else.
Klaus hummed in contentment cradling the sleeping blonde closer into his embrace relishing in the feeling of her smooth naked back against his chest. His limbs were achingly stiff and sore from the endless sex that took place so he easily drifted off to sleep.
Hope the chapter was okay.
Klaroline and Kalijah are my main ships but I do love me some Kennet :)
What did you think about sexy sophisticated Bonnie? lol
Up next: It can't be sunshine and rainbows for too long. What's a story without a good plot twist?
For some of you who have watched the Salaam Namaste movie, you probably know what's coming next, so until then sweethearts ;)
