A/N: I'm so so sorry for the long await to this next chapter. I'm only uploading one chapter today because I've been completely stuck on the next chapters and I will be taking a little longer to update than before and I'm sorry for that.

I guess it's because I wrote chapters one through 14 in less than a week I sort of ran out of ideas of what I want to happen next or more like I'm not having a good time in writing everything down how I want it to be told and I want this story to continue being good.

So I'm asking for request, from all of you if you want to help. If you want to help me with the next chapters please message me so I could tell you where exactly I'm stuck and what I need help with if you want to cause I want this story to still be good for you guys and I'm having such a crappy time with the next chapter and those after that. So please help, again, if you want to..

Anyways, I'm done blabbering. I really do hope you enjoy this chapter and I'm going to continue writing for this FF. Enjoy and don't forget to review after you read the ending and tell me how you feel about it.

Like always, disclaimer, I own nothing.


Chapter 14

Klaus

"Don't ask," I tell Kol, warning him as he smirks at me when we all arrive back to my place.

And it was the truth I had no idea why I wanted Caroline to stay at my house and why I told them they could all stay with Elijah and I. I have no idea what I was thinking I guess it could be the impulse and the fact that I couldn't sit next to her and watch her cry and I felt helpless bloke and the fact that she was blonde goddess makes me feel helpless too.

"Mmm." Kol replies as he continues to smirk and laugh and he goes straight to the bar and I know that Kol will be staying her until the women all leave the house and I want to punch him so badly for getting under my skin.

"Say another thing and I'll put out your kidney in front of everyone," I sneer and I hear giggling behind me. I turn to see Caroline watching Kol and I threaten each other and I once again find the old spark in her eyes like before when we first met and I see her somewhat relaxing.

"Will you two stops fighting like children? We have one in the house by the way?" I hear Rebekah as she enters the living room and we all watch Jason sit on the couch comfortable and play with his Nintendo DS. I look up to see Caroline smiling as she watches Jason play comfortably.

"Nik is the one who threaten me," Kol smirks and replies like a child and sits next to Jason and they both begin to play together.

I smirk because even though I was threatening him I wasn't the one that started it but I wasn't going to tell them.

"Shall we have a tour then?" Elijah asks and the women smile while nodding in agreement.

"Follow me then," I watch as Caroline, Elena, Bonnie and Rebekah leave the living room and follow Elijah to the kitchen as Kol goes behind Bonnie.

I sigh because some how they all managed to leave me with the child and I didn't know what to say to him so I decide to just sit next to him and hope he doesn't want to start a conversation but like always I'm proved wrong.

"Are you Nik?" Jason asks as he stops playing his game and moves his head and looks up at me, I can see his eyes are filled with wonder and curiosity.

I smile, "Yeah, I am." I reply and he nods.

"Are you going to protect mommy?" he asks and I nod.

"I'll do my best."

He goes back to his game is quiet for a while, "Mommy likes you." He tells me and I can't help but chuckle as he tells me this and I have a feeling Caroline doesn't know he's telling me this or even worse that he knows she likes me.

"Are you okay with your mom liking me?" I ask and he looks up at me again and I try my hardest not to laugh because I'm asking a six-year-old child if he's all right with his mother liking me or worse me liking his mother.

If only he knew how badly his mother has been driving me insane, keeping me in a constant knot in head while thinking about her every minute of every day since I've met her. The one woman, which I'm deeply trying to protect even though we are still strangers and some how that doesn't bother me.

"Do you like mommy?" He asks and I laugh once more because this brilliant little man is answering a question with another question and now he's getting me to tell him that I actually do like Caroline.

"I do," I reply seriously no longer laughing. "But the question is do you like me?"

He watches me and for a second I feel insecure. I don't want this kid to tell me that he doesn't like me even though he's only known me for about a day or two, I'm letting him judge me right now and then I feel quite ridiculous for letting a child make me feel this way but I know I needed to ask him how he feels about me.

I feel a need to make him like me because I can never peruse Caroline if her son doesn't approve of me with his mother.

"Yeah," he replies, brining me back from my thoughts and I watch him as he goes back to his game once more and continues to play, "Do you like Mario, Nik?"

I chuckle, "I used to play when I was a child."

He smiles, "Jason?" I hear Caroline come back from the kitchen alone and I wonder if the rest of the group went upstairs or to the back of the house.

Out side we had a basketball court, another bar with a pool and Jacuzzi, it was a nice place and I quite enjoyed it at times but I haven't been out there lately.

"Mommy!" He yells and jumps to her arms like he hasn't seen his mother in days and I can't help but smile as I watch them.

"Are you being good to Niklaus?" She asks him as she picks him up and looks at him and then turns to look at me.

"Yes," he replies softly and I chuckle as I lie back on the couch and watch her.

It was like a hobby that I've never even knew I was going to take a part of. Even with the bruise on her face she was still beautiful and I still wanted her. I wanted every part of her and I wanted to be the one to get her out of all her problems and make her forget all her worries.

"Thank you," Caroline whispers and I nod smiling at her and I can't help but always smile when I stare at her eyes or when I just look at her.

"Can you show us a room? Every one else is outside gazing at the pool and I'm tired." She asks and I nod getting up and lead her up the stairs.

We get upstairs and I show her the room right next to mine and I can't help but to put her next to me even though I know that nothing will happen during this stay and I don't even know if she wants me.

I open the door for her and Jason and Jason runs to the bed, "Thank you for all of this." She whispers again.

"It's no problem, the bathroom is across the hall and every thing you need will be in there." I inform her and set her bags on the floor and close the door for them.


I go back downstairs and meet every one who's eying me suspiciously as I walk downstairs and I can't help but smirk.

"Where's my sister in law?" Kol asks smirking once more and I ignore him as I go straight to the bar craving a drink. I didn't know what the hell I was doing and it was sort of driving me mad.

"That bad huh?" Kol wonders and I roll my eyes at him.

"Why do you call her sister in law you just met her?" Bonnie asks and Kol smiles as a reply.

"Because Klaus is in love with her, can't you tell?" He informs her and I have a sudden urge to hit him or slap him a little.

"I'm leaving," Rebekah interrupts. "Matt's at home waiting for me."

She walks to me and kisses my cheek before leaving, "Get to know her, Nik." She whispers in my ear and I nod saying nothing in return because I have no idea how to get to know her. I've never had to do this before.

I want to so badly and some how I want to know if she's just as interested in me and they way her son told me she does likes me makes me want to pursue her but then all I can think about is the fact that she's an escort and she might want to get back to that job once she deals with this mess and I won't be able to handle her lifestyle. I know that I can't and it always burns me with jealousy inside each time I see her speaking to another man and the thought of her being with another male makes angry.

It makes me want to break everything in the room around me and burn things. I wouldn't do it in front of any one but I can't handle that lifestyle and I can't ask her to change her life for me because that would be wrong of me. She has so much going that me telling her to change would be wrong of me.

I sigh and watch Rebekah leave the house and make her way to her husband and the girls sit on the living room.

"Mmm. I can say she might be too," Elena whispers but we all hear her and Kol smirks.

"Perfect couple but I don't think Klaus can handle your job." Kol replies and I smack him on the back of the head as he walks to the bar and takes the bottle of bourbon.

"No male can," Bonnie replies and sighs. "But who knows if she even goes back to escorting. I went on her computer last night and she had done searches on Seattle and I think she might want to move back with her father."

Elena gaps and looks straight at Bonnie, "Why didn't you tell me that?"

Bonnie shrugs and Elijah excuses himself to his room and I sit down again. "She can't leave!" Elena almost yells.

"I know," Bonnie whispers sadly trying to keep her emotions in check. "She's our sister but I don't think she fells safe here anymore."

"Maybe she just wants to see her dad." Elena tries to find excuses and I find myself frowning and drinking more scotch.

"Well ask her tomorrow," Bonnie reassures and places her hand on Elena's and I see both of their eyes sadden and they get upset as they might lose their best friend.

"Can you show us a room?" They ask Kol as he drinks and he leaves with both of them and they leave me alone in the living room.

I decide it's best to take a shower and maybe go to the library and take up some time dawning or find some other way to relax.


I'm downstairs after sitting for at least three more hours and it's almost two in the morning and I finally decide on going upstairs and get some sleep but I'm stopped when I see a shadow sitting on the couch in the living room and they're looking at something.

At first I couldn't tell who it was because it was so dark but then I notice it's Caroline reading on her iPad, "Is everything all right?" I ask and I watch her jump and she places her hand on her chest.

"Oh my, gosh, you almost gave me a heart attack." She replies smiling. "Everything is fine I'm just having a tough time sleeping so I came down here to read since Jason is asleep and I don't want to wake him."

I nod, "Did you know you're friends are afraid you're leaving?" I ask her and her eyes widen in surprise and I walk and sit next to her.

"Why?" She whispers afraid.

"Bonnie said she saw on your computer yesterday with some search about Seattle, they're afraid you're leaving after this is over." I explain and she nods in reply and I'm kind of curious myself if she's planning on leaving. I hope that she's not but she's quiet and she's not responding.

"So it's true?"

She sighs and shakes her head softly and turns off her iPad and places it next to her and moves her body to look at me.

"No it's not, I was planning on going to Seattle and asking them to go with me. I just want to go see my dad I haven't seen them in almost two years and I thought maybe Jason spending some time with my dad could help him I mean school is almost over in less than two weeks. I thought maybe seeing my dad he would forget about Tyler and my dad could some how help him. He has no guy that could be a father figure to him but me.

"Women everywhere surround him, with Bonnie, Elena or Rose and her daughter. There's no man in his life besides my father and his husband to help him if he has any guy questions or to just be around a man. I think that's why he's so interested in you, Kol and Elijah because this is the first time he's around men. I mean I do play video games with him, I play sports just for him and do all that guy stuff but it's always better to do it with a guy and I'm not one and he can do that with my dad.

"He was four when he last saw my dad and I think it might do him good getting away from New York and I think it might be good for both us. I wanted Bonnie and Elena to come with me but since Manson showed up I didn't get time to explain to them what I was planning but I don't know if they would even come because they have work, they're not going to stop working forever even though they both have enough money to live off it for a year with out working." She sighs and I'm impressed she's telling me all this because this is the most she's ever told me before.

"I'm really, truly sorry I didn't tell you what I did that first night and told you I was a secretary. It's just my cover story most men don't fancy woman who escort and I wanted to keep the good image you got of me and let you forget me and I never wanted you to meet Ruby. I never wanted you to see me on the job with another man and I'm really sorry I didn't tell you the truth but I do this because of the money. I don't do this because I enjoy it because I don't I just want to be able to provide Jason with what I didn't get when I was younger and I don't want him to end up like me in this fucked up life." She confesses and I have and sudden urge to hug her and I do.

"You don't have to apologize, Caroline." I whisper in her ear and I call feel her shiver under my touch as I hug her.

Not wanting to, I let her go and she smiles at me, "I really do mean it and I'm more thankful for your help and your families I know you didn't have to do this."

"By the way, can Kol stop calling me your sister in law?" she wonders and I chuckle.

"Good luck making him stop once he starts he doesn't finish." I reply laughing and she giggles with me.

"God, I love that sound." I whisper and she bites her lip.

"Don't bite your lip," I tell her and she lets go of it and her eyes begin to sparkle. If she only knew how badly I've wanted to kiss those beautiful lips of her and claim them for myself and not ever share.

If she only knew how badly I wanted her and to tell her she was gorgeous every day and how I would be more than gladly to become weak for her.

"Your sister told me to get to know you," she whispers breaking the silence and I smile because now Rebekah was getting to her.

"Bekah does that," I reply.

"What does mean by it?" she wonders and I smile and look at her straight in the eyes.

"She thinks you're smitten by me, love," I reply chuckling.

"Right back to you, Niklaus," she replies as she giggles and gets up while she picks up her iPad and she gives me a chance to let my eyes wander to her curves and what great curves she does have only wearing short shorts and a tank top.

"Maybe I'll start getting to know tomorrow morning once I get a good night sleep," she whispers and moves her body and kisses my cheek quickly but I stand up and grab her arm and make her turn around again and I wrap an arm around her waist and move her body closer to mine.

I let go of her wrist and place my fingers softly under her chin and make her look up at me before I lean down and kiss her softly and enjoying how soft her lips taste of vanilla.

I feel her body relax and her free hand tangle itself in my hair as she returns the kiss and I take that as permission to keep kissing her.

This wasn't just any normal kiss this was much more different as if an electric jolt fired inside me bursting with warmth and I wanted to kiss this woman for the rest of my life. I move her even closer to me and she throws her iPad back on the couch and moves her new free arm back to my neck and I hear her softly moan and open her mouth and I let my tongue explore her.

The most exquisite taste of vanilla and strawberries as I explore her mouth and claim each part of her as my own and I know that after this kiss I will forever lose the fight of trying to ignore or forget all about Caroline because I've never felt like this again and I pull her even closer and feel her breast press up against my chest and her touch excites every bone of my body.

We move each other's tongue in a synchronized motion and I continue to explore her, as she leaves no part of my mouth untouched. We continue to kiss and I let my tongue wander to her lips and she nibbles on my bottom lip and we let each other go gasping for air and letting both of our breathing get normalized once again.

Our foreheads meet as we both gasp for air and I tilt her chin with my fingers and I meet her bright green eyes shinning like I've never witness before.

"I'm not letting you go anywhere after that," I whisper and she beams back smiling in return.

"Me neither," she whispers still out of breath and kisses me softly once more, "Good night," she add and turns with her iPad once more in her hands and walks upstairs.
