"When my eyes are closed, I can see you for what you truly are, which is ugly. We're done!" Kol mimicked the words from the movie, making everyone laugh at him.
After watching 'White Chicks' and 'Little Man' they had decided to prolong the night by watching 'She's The Man' which Kol was currently taking the mickey out of - just like the previous two.
Caroline was enjoying herself. She liked that they didn't fuss over her movements or look at her in pity. Even though there were a couple of times she caught concern cross their faces, they hadn't voiced their thoughts - knowing it would annoy and upset her.
They had ordered a couple of pizzas at the beginning of the second film and at the end of it Henrik, Rebekah and Stefan went to the local store to get some more munchies.
Everything was going great, there were arguments between Kol and Rebekah, Kol and Henrik, Kol and Klaus, Rebekah and Klaus, Rebekah and Elena, Rebekah and Ester, Stefan and Damon, and Caroline, Stefan and Damon. They were not big, they were normal, and Caroline was happy with it. The only thing that bothered her was the man behind her.
"Don't laugh so hard love, you still have broken ribs." Klaus whispered in her ear, worried about her harming herself.
"Healing ribs, thank you very much." She corrected, getting irritated over his constant pestering.
He sighed, "I just don't want you to go through anymore pain, sweetheart. Is it so bad that I care?"
Caroline smiled slightly, "No, it's not bad, and I'm fine Nik. I'm having fun being here with everyone and just relaxing. Besides, I could never feel any pain when your arms are wrapped around me." She blushed at the end of her sentence, glad they were whispering so no-one could hear them.
"You're really cute when you blush. Wonder how else I could make that happen." He said with a seductive tone, making her turn to the colour of a tomato.
Caroline still couldn't believe he returned her feelings, but when they speak openly about them, it feels really right - and that's saying something as they have only been whispering sweet nothings to each other for about 5 hours.
"Stop with the dirty talk you two, there is a child in the room." Kol called with a fake appalled look on his face.
"Hey." Henrik said in annoyance while Caroline hid her face in her hands embarrassed.
"What? You're the baby of the family. Oh and Caroline, you wound me darling, I thought we were gonna snuggle?" He pouted, receiving cushions thrown at him by all.
"Don't worry love, we can talk dirty another time." Klaus smirked, mischief dancing in his eyes.
"Klaus..!" Caroline whined quietly, and if possible turning even more red.
"Oh, so it's Klaus now? What happened to Nik?" He teased. "Anyway, I have better ways to get you moaning my name."
She gasped. "I did not moan!" She quickly defended. "Now hush. We're missing the film."
Klaus just chuckled and kissed her temple lovingly.
He loves how he can finally kiss her and hold her when ever he desires. He just wishes she didn't get hit by a car after he told her he loved her. He had made a vow when she woke up that day. A vow to never let anything harm her. He knows it might sound silly or stupid or just plain cheesy to anyone else, but he doesn't care, he just wants his only love to be safe.
Sighing happily with her in his arms, he moves his face to the crook of her neck and inhales her honey and vanilla scent. He smiles as he lifts his eyes to the tv screen and continues to watch the film.
"We still need to finish that talk." Bonnie suddenly whispers to Kol. He turns his head slowly toward her, confusion spread on his face. She added nervously, "The one we started in the hospital...About us." She chewed on her bottom lip, watching his reaction.
He sighed in realization, knowing he was going to have another 'feeling' conversation. "OK darling. Judging by the look on your face I'm guessing you want to have that talk now?" She nodded. "Can't we talk after the film? You're gonna miss Duke's reaction."
"Kol." She says loudly in disbelief, forgetting others were in the room too, and drawing in their attention.
"What?" He asks confused. She was the one who wanted to watch the film and he wants her to enjoy it before they talk.
"Oh just forget it, you ass!" She says before storming off hurt.
"What on earth did I do?" Kol asks still confused.
"She wanted to talk about her feelings for you, you twit." Henrik commented. "She wanted to have 'The Talk' with you, to see if you feel the same as she does." He uses his fingers to quote 'the talk'.
"Of course, I want to same as her," He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "What do you know about this anyway?"
"Me and April had 'The Talk' four days ago." He replied simply.
"Kol, you have to actually tell Bonnie how you feel, she doesn't know if you haven't told her." Rebekah added.
"But I have shown her over the past three days that I feel something for her. She should have taken the hint."
"Oh for crying out loud, she is a girl Kol. You have to tell her, otherwise she will never 'take the hint'." Elena joined in. "I mean come on, just look at Caroline and Klaus, they would never be here now if Caroline hadn't told him she loved him when she were drunk, and I am pretty sure we do not want a repeat of that. So go to Bonnie and tell her before it gets complicated."
Elijah smiled at Elena and pulled her into a hug, proud at her little speech to his little brother.
Caroline and Klaus were both offended by what Elena had said, but also knew it was true, so they stayed quiet and just cuddled a little closer.
Kol looked at Caroline for confirmation for going after Bonnie, and after receiving a nod he was out of the room in a flash.
Kol entered the kitchen where Bonnie was, and an awkward silence fell over them. It was about 5 minutes before Bonnie broke it.
"Can I just ask you one question? Answer honestly."
Kol just nodded, waiting for her to continue.
Taking a deep breath she asked, "How do you feel 'bout me?"
Inwardly cursing fate, for making his open up once again, he began, "Well first off, I love your smile. I love it when you try your hardest not to laugh at awkward or inappropriate situations." He stepped closer with each word until he was standing right in front of her; their eyes not once leaving the other. He took her right hand and gently kissed her knuckles before continuing, "I see sadness in your eyes sometimes, even when you're smiling and it makes me want to take away all the pain and hurt you have ever felt and suffocate it. When I see it leave your eyes I feel better, and this is all weird because I only care about family, but with you.." he trailed off. "Bonnie, I could give you everything, all you have to do is take my hand 'cause I am about a day away from falling in love with you. The only reason I haven't yet is because... I'm scared you'll just break my heart like Lexi did." He whispered towards the end of his sentence and looks down.
"I will never break your heart Kol, if you gave it to me I would cherish it. Forever. I can see past your mask that you put up to the world, I see you. I can tell when your smile is real or not, and when you and Lexi got together, I couldn't come anywhere near you guys without wanting to cast a spell on her, turn her into a frog or something. Kind of made me wish I was a witch." They both laughed at her last comment.
"I just want you to know that I don't say what I'm feeling. I don't do heart to hearts. So please don't expect too much from me because it's likely I'll just disappoint you, and that is something I do not want. So would you, Miss Witch, do me the honor of being my girlfriend, and you can answer that question after a couple of dates if you wish but I would prefer at least one kiss." He asked, a smirk on his face but his eyes hopeful.
Bonnie answered by leaning into him and placing her lips over his. The kiss was a passionate one, their lips moved together like they already knew each other, and they could both feel the sparks fly.
Pulling away before it got more heated, Bonnie breathed, "I think we should either go back and watch the film, or leave so I can have my way with you."
"Already? Who knew you are such the dare-devil." He teased a little breathless. "Bonnie, even though you have the body of a goddess, I don't want to push you too far, and I don't want to risk ruining it before it begins."
"Well, who knew you could be so sweet" She beamed at him. "Take me home?"
"You can stay here if you like. Just no funny business." He said with determination.
"Fine. Just keep a top on." She smiled as she walked past him.
After doing an air-punch, Kol was right behind her, happy with how the day had gone.
"Is it alright if I have a bath?" Caroline asked once the film had finished.
"Really Blondie? Do you really have to ask?" Damon deadpanned, momentarily forgetting the accident she was in.
Both Stefan and Rose slapped Damon up the side of his head for his stupidity, while Caroline said sarcastically, "Haha Damon, have you turned into a comedian while on your honeymoon?" She pulls a shocked face before addressing Stefan. "Stef, is it alright for me to bathe in my cast? Well, while it hangs out the tub?"
"Yeah, you just need to wrap it in plastic bags or cling film. You should be fine." He gave a small smile.
Before Caroline could get up, Klaus was already carrying her out the room.
"No funny business with my sister!" Both Stefan and Damon exclaimed in union. Caroline and Klaus just laughed at them, knowing they wouldn't do anything. Not yet anyway.
"You coming to bed Rose?" Damon asked.
"Yeah, sure." She smiled.
Once the couple were upstairs Rose asked Damon if he was okay.
"I...I feel bad about forgetting. I mean, how could I forget that my baby sister was in a car accident? After mom died I was meant to be the brother that they looked up too, not the one who is never there." He muttered angrily.
"Oh baby, don't do this. Caroline and Stefan adore you, and your mother would be proud of you, so would your father. You are the Salvatore siblings, you can get through anything." She pulled him into a hug stroking his hair. Even though she loves the vulnerable side to Damon, it breaks her heart when she hears how deep his feelings are, especially his pain.
"Me and my brother both fell for the same girl, how can he look up to me? I ignored the signs of Caroline being abused by her boyfriend, so how could she look up to me? I'm a terrible brother." He whispered.
"They love you and you love them, they don't care if you miss things out or mess up things. You're not perfect and neither are they, but at the end of the day you are all there for each other. Never forget that Damon, 'cause not many people have that." She kissed his cheek slightly before pulling back, grabbing a pillow and hitting him playfully over the head with it.
"What the.. What are you doing?"
"I don't know. What you going to do about it?" She teased.
There suddenly was a naughty smile covering Damon's face, before he jumped on Rose pinning her down on the mattress. "Well, I plan on smothering you with kisses, then feathers, then something more naughty." He murmured while slowly placing kisses over her lips, cheeks, her closed eyes, then down her neck, over her collarbone and back up to her lips. He smirked as her breathing got heavier and uneven.
"Is this a punishment or a gift?" She breathed.
"We'll see once we're finished." He winked.
"Nik, I can undress myself you know." Caroline said annoyed.
"You can't lift your arms up by yourself, Caroline and I'm only helping." He smiled little at her annoyance.
"Fine.. but I'm keeping my underwear on while I'm in the bath." Klaus looked at her like she'd grown another head. She added, "Nik, are you telling me that you're going to leave the bathroom once I'm in the tub?" When he didn't say anything she continued. "No, I didn't think so. Plus you are so not going to see me naked, I'm still bruised." Klaus frowned when he saw the bruises on her skin, but he didn't comment on it.
"You ready?"
"Yeah. You're still not seeing me naked though." They both chuckled a little, though it was a bittersweet laugh.
Once in the tub, Klaus got the soap and gently ran it cross Caroline's skin.
"Why must you have so many bubbles?" He asked getting irritated over them getting in his face.
Caroline giggled, loving his facial expression. "I'm a girl Nik, I like bubbles."
"I will never understand the mind of a female." He mumbled. "Arms." She rolled her eyes at him ordering her around, but obeyed anyway.
"Tell me why you like me?" Caroline suddenly asked, feeling insecure under his gaze.
"Huh?"
"Me? Why do you like me? What is it about me that you like?" Her voice was so small and soft that he struggled to hear it.
"Well.. You have different smiles." Seeing her confused look, he moved behind her and started rubbing soap into her shoulders while continuing. "You have a smile for when you see an animal, or a 'cute little outfit'. When you're proud of yourself and others. You have a shy smile, a sly smile and a naughty one. A sexy smile, 'I'm tired' smile, your 'I don't care but go on' smile. Your amazed smile, your evil smile, the smile you give to old people. The smile you give to children, to my family, to yours. Your sad smile, your sarcastic smile, your playful smile. The smile you give me." Caroline had relaxed into his hands by now, and was amazed that he could tell the difference in her smiles.
"You have different smiles too."
"I do?"
"Yeah. You have an angry smile, playful smile, shy smile - when I look at your paintings/drawings. Your teasing smile, your 'I want to kill you with my bare hands, if you don't shut up' smile." They laughed loudly at that one. "You have your 'I don't care' smile, your 'you're annoying' smile, your genuine smile. The one you give to the older and younger, even if they annoy you. The personal smile you give to each one of your siblings. The smile you do when ever you see new paintings that you can relate too. And the one you give to me."
Turning her head to give see his face, their lips gently brushed against one another, before it deepened. A moan escaped from Caroline's throat, but before it could escalate a piercing scream echoed through the house...
