Chapter 10

"Shit" Caroline said. She got caught up after school and was late to her coffee "meeting" with Matt. She rushed around grabbing her things and ran out of the school to her car. As she drove down the road her phone began to ring so she put it on speaker. She may already be dead but that didn't mean she wanted to risk getting into a car accident.

"Hello?" Caroline spoke loudly.

"Why are you yelling?" Rebekah asked.

"Oh hey sorry I'm driving right now so I have the phone on speaker. Can you hear me okay?" Caroline asked

"Yea I you're good. Sooo I was thinking that I want to take you out on a date."

Caroline stopped at a red light and picked up the phone. "You want to take me out?" She said smiling.

"On a proper first date." Rebekah responded.

"Okay, I'm in. So when is this big date going to happen?" Caroline asked. She set the phone back down when the light turned green and pressed her foot on the gas.

"Next Saturday."

"Fuck." Caroline said pulling into the parking lot of the café. Klaus wanted to take her to that art show next weekend. How in the world was she supposed to go on this date with Rebekah and get out of going the show with her brother?

"Is that a problem?"

Caroline picked up the phone again. "No it's fine it's just that…well I was supposed to go somewhere else that day but-"

"Your busy, its fine go do what you already had planned." Rebekah said cutting her off.

The younger vampire sighed pinching the bridge of her nose. She could tell that Rebekah was pissed. "Listen I was going to say that I'll get out of it. I would much rather go out with you."

"What were you supposed to do?" The original vampire asked.

"Um nothing really I was supposed to go shopping with my Elena." She lied.

"Oh okay. Well you can get out of that rather easily can't you?"

"Ha ha yea." Caroline scoffed.

"Oh my god!" Caroline shouted dropping her phone on the floor of her car. Her hand shot up to her mouth and she looked out the window to see Matt standing there holding his hands up.

"Sorry." He mouthed.

"Caroline are you okay!" Caroline could hear Rebekah faintly say.

"Yea I'm fine." She said rolling down her window and then picking up her phone.

"Sorry for startling you. I saw you sitting out here in your car and wanted to come and see if everything was okay."

"Who's that?" Rebekah asked.

"It's just Matt." Caroline said into the phone.

Matt pointed to the door silently saying that he was going to go back inside and that he would see her when she came in. Caroline raised her hand to show that she understood. Halfway to the door Matt turned around and came back.

"Hey do you want me to order anything for you?" He politely asked.

"Sure, could you get me a pumpkin latte?"

"No problem. I'll see you inside." He smiled and then walked back inside the little coffee shop.

"Okay now what's your issue?" Caroline asked Rebekah turning back to her phone conversation. She really needed to go.

"Why are you with Matt?" Rebekah asked a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Because he's my friend and friends like to hang out sometimes. Caroline said sarcastically.

"Look I just don't want him to try anything with you."

"He won't. He and I are pass that part of our lives. We don't want to be together nor will we ever be together again. Plus I'm with you now." Caroline explained. "And as much as I would like to stay on the phone with you, I really have to get inside. He's waiting for me."

"Fine." Rebekah huffed. "But you still better tell me if he does try anyways."

Caroline chuckled. Rebekah was just not going to let this go. "I will, I promise. I'll text you later okay."

"Alright. Bye babe."

"Bye." Caroline took the keys out of the ignition, grabbed her phone, and headed into the café. In the corner of the room she spotted Matt sitting at a table nestling a cup. She walked over and sat down across from him.

"Hey Matt." Caroline grabbed the cup in front of her and held it directly below her nose. She took in a deep breath and smiled at the smell of the hot beverage. "Thanks for getting this for me."

"Don't worry about it." Matt said.

The two of them sat in few moments of an awkward beside before Matt spoke first.

"Look Caroline….I'm really sorry about making you think that I'm not here for you. I am I was just a little thrown off." Matt said nervously running his thumb and fore finger around the rim of his mug.

"I know Matt. I shouldn't have reacted so harshly. I was just really flustered and confused at the time and I took it out on you."

"It's ok. I just want you to know that I want the best for you. You're one of my best friends and I don't want to see you get hurt. I mean this is Rebekah we're talking about.

"Hey don't you talk about her like that." Caroline snapped. "She's a good person."

"Is she really Caroline?" How do you truly know this? She helped Klaus turn Tyler into a hybrid for god's sakes." He shot back.

Caroline stood up and grabbed her latte. "I'm not going to sit here and argue with you Matt. And if that's what you called me here for then I'm leaving."

As she turned to leave Matt grabbed her by her elbow. "Wait I didn't mean to upset you. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Please stay."

Caroline thought about it for a couple seconds and then turned back towards her seat. "Fine. But next time it happens I'm leaving, got it?"

"Yea I got it…..Can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead." Caroline said before taking a sip of her drink.

"What do you see in her?"

"Matt."

"It's a valid question Caroline. Like I said I'm trying to understand this but I won't be able to do that unless you help me."

Caroline sighed. "I get to see a side of her that no one else does. Beyond that tough I'm a member of the badass Mikaelson originals attitude she has, she's actually a sweet caring person. I mean think about it Matt. If you grew up in a family full of psychopaths you'd probably be a little screwed up too. But when we're together its like, it's like she can finally just shut it all off and be herself."

"Wow, you really like her don't you."

"Yea." Caroline chuckled. "I really do."

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that nobody knows about this but me."

"Yes you're the only one that knows and I'd appreciate it if you would keep it that way."

"Don't worry. Like I said I got your back."

"Now can I talk to you about something else?" Caroline asked Matt setting her empty cup to the side.

"Shoot." Matt replied.

"It's about Klaus."

Matt leaned forward in his chair. "What about him."

"I'm pretty sure that he likes me."

"Wait let me get this straight. You've got two Mikaelson's after you?"

"Well technically it's only one considering that I'm already with Rebekah."

"That will make for good dinner conversation." Matt joked.

Caroline slapped Matt's arm across the table. "Matt I'm serious. And now Rebekah planned this big date next weekend but Klaus invited me to an art show. I don't want to go but I also don't know how to get out of it."

"Is not going even an option?"

"Matt I'm begging you, and you know I never beg. Please help me figure out a way to get out of this." Caroline pouted.

"Okay okay I'll help you."

Caroline launched out of her chair and over to Matt wrapping him up in a bear hug. "Thank you thank you thank you!" She squealed. She grabbed her bag and empty cup to throw in the trash.

"I have to go but we'll talk about this later. Love you." She kissed Matt on the cheek and ran out of the café, throwing her cup in the trash on the way out.

Matt laughed at Caroline but was quickly sobered by what he was about to do next. Caroline is one of his best friends, he would do this no matter who it was right? This shouldn't make it any different…but it does.

Matt ordered another cup of coffee and sent out a quick text. He needed to be fully aware of what he was about to do and have to endure.

Rebekah was in her room writing down ideas she had for this date when her phone went off signaling that she had a new text message. She opened it up and was surprised by who it was from and what it read.

Hey Rebekah its Matt Donavan. Could you come to the Stone's Café I really need to speak with you

-Matt

15 minutes later Rebekah found herself walking into the café to meet with Matt. Why she agreed to come see him she didn't know but considering that Caroline had just been with him she wanted to find out.

"Rebekah hi, um please sit." Matt said nervously pointing to the chair in front of him.

Rebekah glared at him and then continued to sit in the seat.

"Thanks for meeting me. Do you want something to drink?" Matt asked.

Rebekah crossed her legs and scooted closer to the table lowering her voice. "Cut the shit Donovan, why did you ask me here."

"Sorry I was just being polite…listen I asked you here because I want to talk to you about Caroline."

"What about her?"

"I know that the two of you are together."

"And what makes you think that? Because honestly that's just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

"Caroline told me Rebekah, you don't have to deny it."

Rebekah cocked her head to the side and looked at Matt. Well more like stared into the depths of his soul. She could tell it was making Matt uncomfortable. The original vampire raised her arm and snapped her fingers. "Excuse me bring me a pumpkin latte. To go." She yelled at the barista.

"So you know about us." Rebekah said leaning back in her chair. "Let me make one thing clear though. You tell anyone about us and I will kill you myself. Both painfully and slowly, so the choice is yours. Make sure you make the wise one."

"I'm not going to say anything okay. I just want to tell you that Caroline is one of my best friends and just because your, well you, doesn't mean that I'm not going to give you this same talk. I'll admit it, you do frighten me a little but from what Caroline's said you actually are a good person deep down somewhere. I'm here to ensure she doesn't' get hurt. I can tell you care for her, just don't break her okay."

At that moment the barista walked over with Rebekah's drink. "One pumpkin latte to go." She said.

"Thank you."

Matt chuckled to himself.

"What's so funny?" Rebekah snapped.

"Nothing, it's just that I can see that you and Caroline actually have some things in common."

With that Matt got up to leave but before he did Rebekah stopped him. "Matt."

"Yea?"

"I would never intentionally hurt her just so you know."

"I do now." He replied and left Rebekah sitting by herself in the tiny shop.
