Chapter 10
"The morning after"
Did you say awkward?
Caroline opened one eye, while blowing on a strand of hair that was falling in the middle of her face. It was morning; and the sunlight was now entering the small bedroom of the Wilson fisherman house. She was lying flat and naked on her chest, her face back in the pillow; with both of her arms raised above her head and her legs widely opened on the mattress. The bed sheet fabric folded and falling freely on the invisible line of her waist, leaving to the sight the perfect silky and naked skin of her back.
She tried to move but all her muscles were unresponsive to the order of her mind. What could have put her in this state of fatigue, and with all her muscles hurting so much? She raised her head above the pillow, before passing a hand through her tangled hair, sighing, and trying to remember the events of the previous night, before opening her eyes widely and freezing all her movement under a major state of shock.
"Oh no...It can't be...It can't be...It can't be..." She mumbled, repeatedly, while shaking her head in denial, pushing her arms on the mattress in the yoga position of the Cobra. When she used to be in a period of stress in her life, back in New York, yoga was always her way to handle the pressure.
All the previous events passed like flash images of a black and white film in her head: Katherine and Trevor, the night club,Klaus, the seduction on the dance floor,Klaus, driving back to her home, Klaus, Having sex with…No, no, no! Oh damn it, yes:Klaus!She couldn't have been so stupid, she thought while closing her eyes and shaking her head. He is one of her company's employees. She came as their Head Office supervisor. Yes, she had been that stupid! She had sex with Klaus! That was probably the most stupid, crazy, dick kind of a move of all her life, she thought while strengthening her arms more; raising her head higher to calm herself down...Breathe Caroline, breathe, the Cobra posture is good for you, she thought in her mind.
"Well that is certainly a position that we did not try yesterday night, Love." Klaus mocked, while leaning the right side of his body on the arch door, as naked as the day of his birth, with only the biggest smirk on his lips to dress himself up, while holding a cup of fresh coffee in his right hand.
Caroline turned herself around while sitting on the mattress, her upper body as straight as an "i" on the bed.
"You're naked?" She exclaimed, while covering her eyes with the help of her right hand.
"You've studied biology 101 to come to that ascertainment, Miss Forbes...But, you're right, I'm naked in my entire splendour." Klaus mocked more, while sipping his cup of coffee. "And if I may add I'm quite happy with what God gave me as assets. And you were happy the all night as well." He added, grinning, while lowering his sight to check himself out.
"Oh you must be kidding!" She mumbled, in shock, before taking a quick glimpse between her fingers. "Could you at least put something on you?" She asked, with jerky breaths.
"You were less prudish yesterday night, Love." Klaus said, while dropping his cup of coffee on the chair, before lighting one cigarette and adding. "I woke up early; I made a pot of coffee if you are interested, you know where the kitchen is."
"Gizz…Still, as always, a real gentleman, aren't you?" Caroline sighed, while keeping her hand over her eyes.
"Never said I was one, sweetheart … But I earn my lack while being a kill ass lover, would you say?" Klaus mocked her even more, while taking a puff of his cigarette and staring with fiery eyes at Caroline's naked breasts.
Caroline shook her head in disbelieve: Damn him, If only he could had been wrong in his say, she thought, while remembering, vividly, their sexual encounter of the previous night.
"Well, to this point, if you could for once in your life time act like one it would be grandly appreciated. I feel uncomfortable having this conversation with you undressed in front of me." She mumbled, angrily, between her teeth.
"Well, I don't see where the problem is? I certainly have no problem looking at your naked body at this moment." He replied, smirking, while making Caroline startled in surprise, remove her right hand from her eyes, lowering her sight on her naked and exposed at his view, chest, while screaming in shock, and reaching for the sheet placed on her legs, to raise the fabric on her breasts. "Oh my God … You could have said something!" She exclaimed, in rage. "You know that I am a bit hangover from yesterday night."
"Why? It's not like I did not saw your naked body already? And in all different angles if you remember, Love." He added, while smirking, and taking one more puff.
Caroline blushed the one hundred shades of red, before turning her head to the right, avoiding, or more so, forbidding herself, to take any additional glimpses at his naked sight, while keeping the sheet tightly glued to her chest.
"Can you get dress, please?" She asked again, while sighing. "I need to start my day, as you need to start yours."
"What no cuddling under the blanket for us in the morning?" He asked, while bursting into laughter. "Well, doll, It would be a pleasure … It's not my habit to stay that long in the house of a chick after…You know….doing the act of a one night stand… But…" He squirmed his way through his sentence before adding while giggling. "You're kind of wearing my boxer on you."
"What?" She baffled, before turning her head to look straight at him. "No, I'm not!" she exclaimed, before seeing him cross his arms over his naked chest, tilting his head, raising one of his eyebrows, while addressing his most deviously smile.
She raised the sheet away from her breasts, while picking underneath the white fabric, before closing her eyes. This was beyond a doubt the most embarrassing moment of her entire life, and this jerk had to be present to witness it. She took a big breath, before sliding her entire body underneath the sheet, while struggling her way out of his underwear.
"You know, I've seen a lot of things in my life, but a girl that wanted to wear my underwear was actually a first for me, Miss Forbes." He mocked, while putting a hand over his mouth, to stop his laughing. "You're a kinky woman, Love, and it was my pleasure to have this one night of wild, naughty sex with you."
"And of course, you couldn't have gone commando, wore your pants, and left me with my dignity and proud!" She busted in anger, while pulling on the black boxer, and sliding the cotton fabric on her legs.
"Well I could have…" He laughed through his answer. "And believe me when I say that I am most of the time, a commando kind of man…" He added more, while making Caroline roll her eyes under the sheet. "But, I would not have the fun that I am having now." He finished, while holding his stomach, under the pressure of his laughter.
"Well, here is your precious underwear!" She exclaimed, while letting her head come out from underneath the sheet, before throwing the boxer at him.
"Well…" Klaus responded, while catching the underwear in his hands. "Thank you my lady, it was certainly an unpredicted, nice sexual encounter between us." He added, while making a sarcastic reverence, before pulling his underwear on his legs, picking his shirt and pants on the floor, before dressing himself.
"Well, don't let the door hitting you on the nose, while leaving MY home!" She lashed out at him, while raising the sheet on her chest, and crossing her arms.
"Aww don't be angry, doll. All good things must come to an end." He smirked, while buttoning his shirt, before reaching the bed and lowering his upper body near Caroline's.
He put his hands around her waist, under the bed sheet, before raising her body in his arms, while drowning his sight in hers.
"A last kiss for souvenir and the long route back to the village." He mocked, before crashing his mouth on hers.
She squirmed, mumbled angry sounds under his lips, tried to push Klaus away, but it was a battle lost in advance. She finally let his tongue slide inside the moisture of her own mouth, while moaning with pleasure under his sensual assault.
"Thank you, sweetheart, it was nice making business with you." He mocked, before dropping her naked body on the bed, and waving a hand at her, while laughing and getting out of the house, under her wild scream of anger.
"Bastard…Jerk …" She screamed, once more, while reaching for a pillow and throwing it at the wall in front of her sight. She jumped out of the bed while rising on her two legs, and grabbing a jean and a t-shirt. She dressed herself in a space time of a few minutes, before running after him, hoping that he hadn't left already.
She opened the door of the house, before letting out her anger:
"Never say a word of what have just happened between us, to anybody, you hear me!" Caroline lashed out, before frizzing all her movements, with a mouth open – speechless expression plastered on her face.
Trevor, her friend Bonnie from New York, and none other than Elijah were standing near Trevor's truck, with the same speechless expression on their face, with Klaus placed near his own truck while smirking and pulling a cigarette from his pack.
"I've just told these nice people who came to see you, from New York, that your water pipes were running smoothly now, Miss Forbes." Klaus shouted, while retaining his need to burst into laughter, nodding his head in respect to her, before opening the door of his truck, sitting on the driver seat, sliding the driver's window open, before starting the engine and screaming: "See in town, Trevor!" He then saluted, before leaving on grinding wheel.
Caroline watched his truck disappeared in the horizon, before turning her sight at Bonnie and Elijah.
"Bonnie, what are you doing here?" She exclaimed, while reaching her standing position and taking her friend in her arms.
Bonnie hugged Caroline, before whispering in her ears: "Don't even try to make me believe that this was the plumber, I know very well who it was, and what you did with him. We'll discuss this later."
"Caroline, I'm so happy to see you!" She exclaimed in a louder voice, to confuse the two standing men, while kissing her friend on both cheeks, before pulling herself away from her friend's embrace. "I've wanted to surprise you, and come earlier and Elijah had free time in his schedule and he suggested accompanying me to England."
"Hey, Elijah…" Caroline saluted with her right hand, while timidly smiling to her ex-boyfriend, now only her friend.
"Hey, Care … How are you, sweetie?" He asked, politely, while nodding his head to her.
"I'm good, I'm good…" She repeated, before hugging him in her arms. "It's nice to see you too." She added, truthfully.
"Like wise." He responded, while hugging her back in his arms, and adding. "Water pipes problem as I can see?" He mocked her, while blinking an eye at her, while making her blush the hundred shades of red.
"Yes …" She mumbled, while shaking her head to change the conversation, before suddenly realizing. "But, I can't accommodate both of you under this roof? It's a very small house."
"Can I stay?" Bonnie asked her, while joining both of her hands together.
"Yes, you can … But, Elijah?" Caroline responded, dumfounded.
"Don't worry, Caroline." Trevor replied, before adding. "Elijah has already the best bedroom reserved for him at the Rose Garden Pub."
"Thank you, Trevor." Caroline breathed a sight of relief at his say.
"You are mostly welcome, my lady." Trevor replied, while smiling, and getting Bonnie's luggage out of the trunk.
"I'll go back with Trevor, while you two will catch up on your pipes story." Elijah mocked, while nodding his head, before opening the passenger door of the truck.
"You don't mind?" Caroline asked him.
"No, it will give me a chance to walk and visit the village." He responded to her, while taking his sitting place.
"We'll see you tonight at the Pub." Trevor said to both women, before taking his sitting position in the truck, as well, waving at them, while starting the engine and driving away from their sights.
Bonnie turned her sight toward, a blushed cheeks, Caroline.
"You, young woman, you have a lot of explaining to do."
"And I am not in the mood to give them to you!" Caroline replied, while walking back to her home.
Sunset time
Elijah entered the Rose Garden Pub while looking at the hour on his watch. He would have enough time to take a quick shower before meeting Bonnie and Caroline for dinner.
"Well, hey mate! Did you have a nice walk around the village?" Trevor asked Elijah, standing behind the counter, while smiling and nodding his head to him. "Can I offer you a beer?"
"No thanks. I'll take a quick shower first. It was actually very pleasant. You have a nice place to live, around her, Trevor." Elijah responded honestly to the young British man, before noticing the young woman standing in front of the bar. "Katherine?" He asked, while tilting his head at the view of the young woman who he had met not earlier than this morning. She was certainly showing another style at the moment, he thought, while looking at the expensive clothes she was wearing.
The woman turned around, while smiling, and checking him out, from head to toes.
"No, not Katherine, Elena… I'm Katherine twin sister and therefore Trevor's." She responded, while smiling to Elijah in a seductive way, before presenting her right manicured hand to him. "And you are?"
"I am … A simple American Tourist." He replied to the look alike Katherine, while shaking her hand, only out of politeness, before turning on his heels. The woman was superficial and of no interest to him.
"You're an American … really?" Elena repeated, while holding him on his walking path to his upstairs bedroom. "Related to Miss….Mm…I don't remember the name of this insipid woman who came as a supervisor for the Fish and Sea Company." She mocked openly.
Elijah turned on himself, before narrowing his sight on Katherine twin sister.
"The insipid woman is my friend, and her name is Caroline. Obviously, you and I, we won't be friends any time soon." He responded to her, before leaving her, red cheeks and speechless.
"Could you for once in your life be tactful and nice with the customers, Elena?" Trevor warned her, while hitting his fist on the bar counter, before seeing her roll her eyes to the ceiling in indifference.
Katherine entered the guests bedroom, while passing her head under the arch door and taking a last glimpse into the empty corridor, assuring herself that she was standing alone in the room, before closing the door behind her, standing still with her back leaning on its wood, her heart beats racing.
The last rays of the sunset were entering the room in a warm last goodbye of the day. She looked around in a nonchalant way, while dropping the set of fresh towels on the bed, slowly opening the luggage that was placed on the bedspread. She felt like a little girl that was opening the door of a forbidden hiding place.
Typical masculine stuffs were folded inside: a few pair of jeans, one nice pair of trousers, a few shirts, socks, several t-shirts, a few briefs. So he was a briefs kind of man, she thought, while taking the small black fabric in her hands, smirking, and biting her bottom lips at the same time. What was she doing? She thought more, while throwing the brief back into the luggage, closing its cover, and taking a few walking steps backward, with her hands in the back pockets of her jeans, trying to forbid herself to snoop around in the private stuff of people.
"Katherine, you're acting like a teenager, this is crazy girl." She mumbled, between her teeth, while shaking her head, passing a quick, nervous hand through the long curls falling on her shoulders, before closing her eyes and taking several deep breaths.
"You find anything interesting inside my luggage?" She heard a masculine voice addressed itself to her.
"Oh my God, you've startled me!" She exclaimed, while turning on herself, opening her eyes widely, and looking at Elijah who was standing under the arch of the bedroom door, his arms crossed over his chest, the right side of his body leaning on the wall, with only a towel around his waist, and another one around his neck. "What are you doing here?" She added, in nervousness, her right hand place around her neck.
"Well, I know that I am visiting a foreign country, but I still believe that I've paid good money to rent this bedroom, therefore I pretty much believe that I have the right to be in it." He mocked Katherine, while entering the room, and closing the door behind him, before leaning his back on the wood, like she had done not even five minutes ago.
"Of course…" She mumbled nervously, while passing a quick hand through her hair. "I…I brought you fresh towels." She stammered her sentence to him.
"Wow!" Elijah exclaimed, while looking at the clean set of towels placed near his luggage on the bed. "Impeccable service, it's the second set of towels that you've brought me in a space time of a few hours." He mocked her, while placing a hand over his mouth, to hide his hilarity.
"Well …" She blushed, before adding. "I wasn't sure if you had enough for your need." She tried to get herself out of this embarrassing moment between them.
"Mm…." Elijah mumbled the sound, while seeing one of his brief hanging from his closed luggage. He approached the suitcase, before opening its cover, and taking it in his hands. "Would it be ok for me to wear this pair?" He mocked her, while showing it to Katherine. "I see you took the time to help me decide what I should wear underneath my clothes tonight. Is this service included in the price of the bedroom also?" He asked, while letting drop his towel in front of her astonished – mouth open expression, before pulling the brief on his athletic legs, and standing in front of her. "So, how do I look?"
"Oh my God…You, you, you…" She mumbled, almost incoherently, while blushing intensively, and pointing a finger at him. "I … I can't …" She tried to finish her sentence, before reaching the door and opening it widely.
"Katherine?" He called her, while smirking.
She hold her pace, while keeping her right hand on the door handle, before turning on herself, facing him, and raising her chin in the air.
"I like you very much … I hope to see you more tonight." He simply said, while smiling and nodding his head, before seeing her storm outside the room and closing the door behind her.
Bonnie reached the guard-rail, before drowning her sight in the beautiful sunset view in front of the port and breathing the fresh sea air. She watched the last waves hitting the shore, while smiling and appreciating this quiet moment, closing her eyes and mind of all her thoughts, before seeing the image of a stranger filling its emptiness. She reopened them, while wincing: "Go away you!" She thought while shaking her head to erase all trace of this jerk that had the pretension of discussing his sexual tendency at her arrival in the village, this morning.
After all this was her vacation, and she had took a moment alone, while Caroline had reached the pub to meet Elijah, to simply enjoy a walk on the dock.
"Two times in a space time of a day, my beautiful lady. A man could not wish better fate for himself." She heard the voice of the stranger addressed itself to her.
Bonnie turned suddenly on herself, while putting a hand over her chest and sighing.
"What are you doing here?" She, without thinking first, asked him.
"Admiring the view of this beautiful sunset and admiring your beauty, my darling." Kol replied, while smirking, and making a reverence.
Bonnie swallowed a nervous lump in her throat. He was wearing a clean, but torn grey t-shirt, over a tight pair of dark jeans, with army boots dressing his feet, and a cap placed on his head. She took a walking step toward the path to the Rose Garden pub, while trying to escape from the presence of this unbearable man.
"Where are you going, sweetheart?" Kol asked, while smiling, and stopping her while placing his body in front of her path.
She startled, while putting a hand in front of his sight.
"Get out of my way, let me pass, now, or I swear that I'll scream!" She ordered him, before adding. "There's a Pub near by, and a lot of people inside, it will only take a few minutes for them to come outside to rescue me."
"Hey! No need to freak out, beautiful." He answered her, while showing his open palms, in front of her sight, as a peace offering. "See, I'm not touching you. I just want to exchange a few words with you." He added, while taking a walking step to reach her standing position.
Bonnie took a walking step backward, while raising her chin in the air as a confrontational gesture.
"Let me go!" She told him.
"Be careful don't walk backward toward the guard rail, there's a few reparations that should have been done in the port." He warned her, while nodding his head.
"I can take care of myself, thank you!" She replied to him.
"Why are you so defensive with me?" He asked her, while shrugging his shoulders. "I've done nothing but being pleasant to you since our first meeting this morning."
"You … What" Bonnie exclaimed, in shock, while taking an additional walking step, backward. "You must be mistaken me for your … lady friend … What was her name, Sophia?" She added in disgust.
"Ah, don't be like that, sweetheart." Kol replied, smirking, before adding. "A man has needs you know."
"Well, go fulfil your needs with her." Bonnie exclaimed, while pointing a finger at an invisible point.
"I'll be damn." Kol noticed, while crossing his arms in front of his chest. "You're actually jealous. Don't worry, my lady, there's plenty of me to go around."
"What? Are you freaking out of your mind. I don't even know you." Bonnie exclaimed more, while shaking her head in total astonishment.
"Oh but that could easily be fixed." He smiled through his sentence, before presenting his right hand to Bonnie. "I'm Kol? And you are?" He asked her.
"I'm none of your business…That is who I am." Bonnie replied, while taking a few more walking steps, before feeling the guard-rail hitting her back, hearing a thud, and loosing the stable ground underneath her feet a second later.
The rusty guard-rail detached itself from its bolts, before falling freely on the cliff; with a loud noise of old iron. She felt herself falling backward, while screaming and trying to grab anything to forbid herself to fall into the emptiness.
Two strong arms grabbed her waist, while pulling her strongly into a hard as a rock chest, while taking a few steps away from the falling guard-rail.
"Are you ok? I don't even know your name?" Kol asked Bonnie, while sighing loudly, his chin in top of her head, one hand around her waist, with his other caressing her hair, in rhythmic motion.
"Bonnie…" She replied in a low whisper, while trying to catch her breath.
"Ok, Bonnie… Tell me, are you ok? Did you hurt yourself?" Kol asked her, while sliding his hands around her face, before raising her chin.
"I…I think I'm fine." She mumbled, while grabbing two full hands of his t-shirt to hold herself in a steady standing position on her trembling legs.
"Ok…" He whispered, while sliding a strand of her dark hair behind her left ear.
"Thank you." She whispered more, still breathless, while drowning her sight in the one of the stranger.
"You're welcome my lady." He responded, while holding her chin with his right hand, before taking Bonnie by surprise, lowering his head and crashing his mouth on hers. The kiss ended as quickly as it had started, leaving Bonnie speechless and panting in front of Kol. "More? Or I'll be accused of taking your delightful mouth against your will?" He asked her, while smirking, before slowly lowering his head, and capturing her mouth a second time.
The second kiss was sweeter, slower, and warmer. His mouth had lost his roughness; his lips tasting hers, teasing, and conquering. She felt all her resistance leaving her mind, and when he raised her arms on his muscular chest, it is willingly that she crossed them around his neck, under his growls of satisfaction. But, under a spark of lucidity, she detached her lips, while lowering her arms and closing her eyes to get a sense of reality. She pushed a gentle hand on his chest, while taking a last glimpse at him, before running toward the pub under Kol shortness of breaths.
"I'll be damn! She likes me!" Kol exclaimed, proudly, before slowly walking toward the pub, his hands in his upfront jeans pockets with the biggest smile plastered on his face.
