They were on their way to his cabin and Bella was nervous.

Klaus was a grown man and he was probably used to having sex with women whenever he wanted but she wasn't ready… She wasn't even sure if she was in love with him or if it was just physical attraction… She couldn't have sex with a man for the first time without being sure she's in love with him and that he's in love with her right?

"Why are you so nervous? Did I do something wrong? I assure you that no arm will come to you Isabella!" Klaus told her when they stopped in front of his door. He didn't want her to be afraid of him… He wanted her to be comfortable and to see her so stressed out worried him.

"I… I'm just… hum…" She was blushing very hard and he guessed what the problem was.

"No Bella, don't worry… Nothing will happen between us that you're not ready for!" he said, making sure she could see the sincerity in his eyes.

"Right… Okay…" she whispered, hitting herself for even thinking a man like him could be interested in her this way… He was probably thinking she was foolish or something…

"You're wonderful Isabella…If anything is to happen between us, it won't be after only a few days of knowing each other… I really enjoy your company and refuse to loose whatever we have because things went too fast! You're more important than that!" he explained, wanting her to understand that it had nothing to do with her, that he just wanted to show her the respect she was due.

She smiled and nodded.

He opened his door and once they were inside his room, he offered her a seat and something to drink.

"It's very pretty… There's definitely is a difference between second class and first class… Like two different worlds…" Bella noticed sadly.

"Not that much…" He said, not liking the fact that she imagined herself in another world from him.

He went over to his nightstand and retrieved the book he was afraid of showing her. However he had given her his word and he didn't want to break a promise to her.

"Now, don't you go thinking I'm some sort of stalker alright? I draw what I like… What's on my mind at the moment…" he said with a very charming smile on his face as he handed her his sketchbook.

She slowly opened it and turned the pages.

She saw herself reading a book under the sun on the first page. She looked very peaceful… She guessed it was a sketch of their first encounter on the boat.

The next one she saw was of the two of them and she couldn't help but think that he didn't have in the drawing half of the importance he was supposed to… Once more, it was very beautiful… he had drawn the moment where he had put a flower in her hair. She was smiling and on this page it looked like her smile was illuminating the rest of the picture.

On another one she was under the stars in a dress she had never seen or worn in her life…

All of his drawings had something in common beside the fact that she appeared in them… She looked beautiful… Like a princess of some sort…

In the one of herself under the stars it looked like the moon light was dressing her, like the stars and the moon where shining just for her…

"Klaus… You're…so talented… It's so pretty…I... I can't find words…" she said with tears in her eyes under the beauty of it all.

"I'm glad you like it… You can keep one if you want… It's just something I do to pass the time… To keep myself busy…" He replied and for the first time since she met him she noticed a blush on his face.

"Well, I guess being over a thousand years old did give you time to practice!" She said, giving him back his sketchbook.

"It does, doesn't it!" He replied with a laugh.

.

They talked some more before he walked her back to her room, not willing to leave her alone to wander the corridors… Who knew what kind of dangerous creeps could be on this boat?
