11. That night I married you

" Oh come on Klaus, don't leave me here. I want to have some fun as well." Caroline was lying on her bed while the whole room was spinning. Like a little ferris wheel. Up and down, and up and down. And then around again. Man, what was in those drinks? You know what, she didn't care, because it was awesome, and she was awesome, and Klaus … Damn he was hot, she wanted a piece of that.

" I think the best think for you would be to get a good night sleep."

" You are a mean, mean man. It's not even midnight yet. We have to go and paint the town red."

She got up and tripped a little, damn this dress was really annoying, and she should just take it off.

" I know, let's go to a strip club. I've never been."

" I am so dizzy. I need to sit down." Klaus said and sat on her bed trying to think, trying to stay sober, and trying to stop the effect the pills had on him. Funny, it was actually the first time he was trying to stop it, and not deliberately enhance it. The irony wasn't lost on him. He looked at Caroline spinning around the room, dancing to a non existent music. She looked adorable. Like a little girl chasing a dragon across the room. He suddenly did see dragons in front of his eyes, he had no idea what that blonde bitch put in their drinks but it was pretty strong, that was his expert opinion of an ex drug lover that tried it all just to prove that he could. And now he couldn't believe he use to get off by using this shit, he really was a messed up lunatic. He really was a messed up fuck. By looking at Caroline he knew it was her first time doing something like this, although she had no clue that she was on something. And she was having the time of her life. He remembered how it felt, but it never lasted long, it always came to an end. And after that? A big void remained. So big that all the happy pills in the world couldn't fill it. No one could, not until you learned how to deal with your emotions. He lied on the bed and closed his eyes. He never ever wanted to go down that road again. The world thought he wasn't afraid of anything, but he was. The world thought he was the coolest guy ever, but he wasn't. He was just lost most of the time. And not brave enough to let someone in to find him.

" Klaus, what are you doing? Don't fall asleep on me, ok? There are a lot of drinks out there, and lot of fun out there, with our names on it."

She lied on top of him and put her head above his heart.

"Please, don't leave me." She whispered

He didn't know what exactly she meant, but he put his hands around her and started caressing her hair.

" Please have fun with me, ok? I want to be a fun person."

" And who says that you're not?"

" You." She admitted honestly.

" Me? Why the hell would you listen to anything that I have to say? I'm a prick, remember?"

" I do remember, I am not drunk." She sat up and stared at something, thinking …

" I'll prove it to you. I will show you that I can still stand on my toes without even blinking."

" Caroline, I really don't think …"

" Shush, you don't believe me … Well, I'll show you. I just have to … Put this dress up and … There we go …" she was trying to put her dress up but it kept on dropping. And she was getting angry. It really was an adorable site to see, Caroline Forbes fighting a dress off.

" There. Now I'll show you who is drunk here mister." he deliberately didn't want to mention the drugged part to her right now, because he didn't have a clue how she would react, and he didn't want to freak her out. Better for her to sleep it off, and then they can pretend this night never happened. Even he wasn't such a lowlife to mention it to her again. Sure, he liked having fun teasing the good old Skooter Brown, but this drug thing went a little out of hand.

Caroline tried really hard to stand on her toes but her ballet lessons weren't really paying off in this condition. But she was very persistent and Klaus didn't have the heart to tell her to stop, plus it was a really amusing scene. Until she of course lost balance completely and fell. Luckily he was there to catch her. She fell right into his arms.

" Ups. Let me try again."

" No, no … That's ok, I believe you. You're not drunk. Sober as a whistle."

" Then prove it to me."

" Prove what love?"

"That you believe me. Go out with me. Let's go and have some fun."

" Caroline …"

And then suddenly she started crying. I mean it wasn't exactly crying, it was more of an angry sobbing.

" I am fun. I am. Maybe not "funny ha ha" fun but I am not a boring person. It is not my fault."

" What is not your fault sweetheart?"

" That Tyler left me for Hayley …"

He couldn't believe she was still obsessing over what that jerk did to her. I mean it was obvious to anyone that had a brain that Tyler was a coward, a man that always needed a better and better accessory to feel good about himself. I mean, Klaus knew, he was far from an angel, and that he used and abused women to his gain, but he never needed them just to feel good about himself. And he never got married and then left his wife when a better piece of meat came along. Although honestly he couldn't see what was so attractive on Hayley anyways. She was too trashy for him, the sex bomb act wasn't working on him anymore, not that he would ever admit it to anyone, especially to Caroline here, but he was done with women playing the sex card to get something in life.

" Oh sweetheart." He took her into his arms and he could only pray she wouldn't remember this in the morning. Because it would severely damage his reputation of being the biggest lowlife on the face of the Earth in her eyes. But even he wasn't made of stone, and he hated women crying. Yes, it took him a long time to get to that, to stop being a jerk that only cared about himself, but Rebekah entering his life, having someone to take care of and think about other than himself did change him, even if he wasn't ready for the whole world to see it yet.

"Of course it's not your fault. How can it be your fault that he's an asshole?"

" Yeah, but she is so beautiful and sexy …" Caroline started sinking again.

" You are much more beautiful." he looked into here eyes and said it with all honesty.

" Really? You really do think so? No, I don't believe you."

" But you are … You are classy and sophisticated. Not to mention you have a great ass."

Caroline had to smile to that. She looked into his eyes and suddenly she jumped him. She actually jumped him and started kissing him. He had to admit he didn't hate it one bit. I mean her lips were a little uncoordinated due to a lot of foreign chemistry in her system, but they still felt good. They were sweet, gentle and even in this crazy phase, they still felt kind of innocent. It was a long time since he's been with someone liked that. And for a second he let himself be taken with it. Trying to imagine he could be a different person, for that one night that he could leave his past behind, and be the man a woman like Caroline would actually want to be with. But not just in a drunken/ drugged stage. So he pushed her off gently and said the only thing that came to his mind, that he knew wouldn't make her sad again, or doubt her worth.

"You know what? You are absolutely right, the night is still young. It would be a crime not to take advantage of this city of vice. Let's go out. Let's party like there is no tomorrow. I'll let you show me how fun you are. Hell, I'll even let you pay for all those tequila shots will be drinking."

"How did you know I was a tequila kind of girl?"

He leaned over and whispered: "Because all of the most fun girls drink tequila. Let's go."

He took her by the hand and they were on their way. He knew it wasn't a good idea. He was barely holding it together, while she was completely trashed. Nothing good could come out of it, he knew that. But somehow, just for one night, he wanted to obey the ladies wishes, and he really just did want her to have fun and to escape from the person she usually had to be.

Plus, if we're going to be completely honest, it was so long since he allowed himself a night like this. A part of him missed it as well.

So they went into this dodgy bar where he hoped no one would recognize them. And they were drinking tequila, while Caroline was trying to convince him to do karaoke.

" Oh come on. Don't be such a sissy. We could do a duet."

" You are craaazy."

" Craaazy fun maybe. What do you want to sing? Y.M.C.A.? Oh, I know …Sex bomb …"

" Caroline Forbes I am not singing in public no matter how drunk I am. That is absolutely the one thing I am not doing."

" And you do everything else?" she asked in a seductive voice, although since she was drunk and , it sounded a bit hazy, but she still sounded seductive to him.

"Whatever the lady desires." he didn't have a clue what kind of a game he was playing but he didn't feel like stopping. It was just harmless fun, right?

She came up to him and ran his hand across his chest. "Where do I sign up?"

And then it was like the movies. They were all over each other. Him grabbing her hair, she holding onto his shirt … It felt like being on a rollercoaster of death, so deadly but yet so intoxicating.

" Want to get out of here and head back to the hotel?" he heard himself ask her although the voice, his voice, sounded so distant to him now. Man, he was really dead.

"Yes, please." she batted with her eyelashes, and all he could think about was all those things he'd be doing to her tonight. He'll make her forget Tyler, he'll permanently erase him from her memory. She'll be screaming his name in bed tonight.

They got into the taxi and started making out. The driver was having a blast, but luckily he was a foreigner, and it didn't look like he recognized who exactly he was driving, how could he, when they were practically sucking each others faces off. They finally came into the hotel. Klaus threw a hundred to the driver and Klaus couldn't wait to get Caroline upstairs. They walked into the lobby when he saw Caroline stop and look at something. It was a small chapel within a hotel. Really? Could this be anymore cheesy? Now even fancy hotels like these had fake wedding chapels?

" It's so cuuuute. I looove it. We should totally get married. It would be the perfect ending to this evening. "

"You mean, like actually get married?"

" No, you silly. For a joooke. So we can tell everyone we know Skip and Scooter finally tied the knot. You know, it should have happened. In the show. It was in the script for the last season. The one that never got filmed. Because of you …"

" I haven't read it."

" Figures you wouldn't. But never mind, we can fix it now. Give them a proper ending."

" You're right, the old boy and girl deserve it. Let's marry them."

They barged into the chapel that was still open although it was past 3.a.m. But hey, this was Vegas, the city that never sleeps, and neither do the employees.

"We want to get married. Now." Caroline said affirmatively.

" Do you have a licence?" the girl behind the counter asked, not very amused. She obviously didn't recognize them, although she was eying Klaus since the second they stepped inside.

" Well you see, we didn't really have time to get one, but we'll fix it tomorrow. We promise, cross our hearts and hope to tie. Haha, get it. Tie, as in tie the knot? Couldn't you bend the rules just a little? We have our documents with us, and we really, really doo want to get married."

" I am sorry miss, but I can't help you without a licence."

" You can, you just won't." Caroline said sulking and Klaus saw he had to take the matter into his own hands.

" Look. What's your name gorgeous?" he said and gave the girl his most seductive smile. Show off.

" Katie."

" Katie darling, we are so sorry to cause you this inconvenience. We know it is late, and you must be so tired. But see this girl here? I loved her for years now, and tonight. I finally talked her into becoming my bride. Now, I know what you're going to say, we can always get married tomorrow. And that is true, but the thing is … I'm so afraid she might change her mind tomorrow and that she won't want me anymore, and that would just break my little heart that has longed for her for so many years."

Damn him, he really was an amazing actor.

" So please help us out? And after your shift is over go and buy yourself something nice. A pretty girl such as yourself deserves it." he put a thousand dollars on her counter. Holy shit, a thousand dollars? Where did he pull that one out? And then she remembered what he told her about earning thirty that night …

Finally Katie darling did agree to bend the rules a bit, and they were, getting married. I mean, no, Skip and Scooter were getting married. It didn't matter that the silly minister, dressed like the cross between Elvis and one of the Beatles, was saying their real names. That was just because those names were on their ID's. Anyways, it didn't matter because all of this was a joke anyway. It really was a blast of a night. Who knew she could have so much fun with Klaus. And now after they married Skip and Scooter maybe they could finally put their past to the rest. But not before she screws his brains out, and then she doesn't have to see him ever again. It will be like a perfect one night stand, with a perfect stud. She didn't want to think what happened all those years ago, not tonight, tonight was all about fun. Her fun. For once she was being completely selfish and thinking only of herself. She wanted to sleep with Klaus, and it wasn't even the alcohol talking, well maybe it helped but … She knew what she wanted. So they came back to her bedroom and she started to undress him right away.

" Wow, maybe we should slow down a bit." Klaus hated himself for saying this but it just somehow didn't feel right.

" Why? We both want this. We're both adults. It won't be like that night on the ship. I won't let you hurt me like that again. I promise. I promise this to myself."

She finally managed to take her dress off, and she was standing in front of him only in her red bra and matching panties. She looked like a wild animal. Red blooded eyes and red blooded smile. This didn't seem like the Caroline he knew. It seemed like a Caroline that was trying to prove a point, to herself. And although he wanted to, he couldn't, he couldn't do it. He couldn't take advantage of her like that. It didn't matter she wouldn't forgive him in the morning, she hated him already for what he did to her all those years ago, and he hated himself. But what worried him was, he knew she wouldn't forgive herself for doing that.

If we ever do sleep together Caroline Forbes, he told himself, although he knew there was a fat chance of that happening after tonight, it will be because we both want it and both know what is happening.

" What? Why are you looking at me like that? Come here." she told him and extended his arms to him.

He came to her, grabbed her and lifted her up like she was feather.

" Wow, that was cool. I love myself a strong man, where are you taking me sir?"

" To bed."

"I second that motion." she said and started kissing him. But he had to resist her.

" What's wrong?" she asked offended

"Nothing is wrong. You just need some sleep. And so do I."

" Oh come on, don't be such a grandpa. Tell you what. I'll go under the covers and remove all the clothes. To save you the trouble. And then we can get it on."

She didn't have a clue how much effort this was costing him. How happy he would be to undress her himself, slowly, taking in every part of her body, worshiping it, with his eyes, with this touch, and with his mouth. But he couldn't … He saw a bra, and then panties flew across his head.

" Mmmm, this sheets feel so good. And this pillow … Maybe I'll rest my eyes just for a second. And then we're going to have some sexy time."

He sat next to her and started massaging her back. " Just you rest sweetheart. I'm not going anywhere."

" You promise?" she asked barely keeping her eyes open, her breathing was slowing down and he knew she was seconds, if not less, from falling into a deep, deep sleep. He needed one as well, desperately.

" I promise." he whispered and kissed her forehead.

He was just about to get up, and go to his room, but leaving her without even saying a word seemed kind of wrong. I mean, he did promise he would stay. Maybe she did actually want him around. And maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the two of them. Maybe, maybe, maybe… Too many maybes, he needed to close his eyes and not think about anything for a while. So he removed his shirt and pants, and crawled into bed with her. He fell asleep before he could even say - good night sweetheart. Sleep tight.


So, I'm actually moving tomorrow, to a horribly overpriced apartment that costs more than half of my salary, but unfortunately that's life, right? I can only hope it will get better ...
