Caroline's POV

I stared up into my mirror to see if Klaus was still following me home, we'd debated for a while on whether to car share back to mine and collect the car later or just to travel solo. We'd decided on this arrangement and I was pretty glad about it too; it meant that I had time to gather my thoughts in peace before Klaus dropped another bomb on me...

The clock ticked around to 11:45, wow it was nearly midnight already; I was glad that my mum was occupied with business out of town otherwise she would have flipped out that I wasn't in bed by now, it being a 'school night' and all. I imagined her expression is she knew that I was bringing a boy home at this time of night, let alone a 1000 year old Hybrid!

As we approached my drive I let out a nervous laugh, fixed my hair, parked and got out of the car as gracefully as possible; not wanting to embarrass myself.

Klaus's car came to a stop behind mine and he pulled his muscular body from the car; his shirt rising up as he moved, giving me a glimpse of some very toned looking stomach muscles. I felt myself shiver at the sight.

Bad Caroline. I always did like the bad boy; hence my poor boyfriend choices in the past. I'd always picked the skanky ones right from the start; I'd even thought that I could change Tyler, seems silly thinking about it now – Matt however, was the exception to this obviously; he had always treated me like a princess, and it wasn't his fault he couldn't deal with his Elena obsession or the whole vampire situation, especially after what happened with his sister.

"You alright love?" Klaus leaned down towards me, an anxious expression on his face.

Oh god, I was totally embarrassing myself already and I hadn't even opened my mouth yet…

"Um… yeah…fine, just thinking…" I stuttered out, trying to remove the memory of his abs from my mind so that I could begin to start forming sentences once again.

"Thinking eh, sweetheart? Well that's good considering we've got a history project to get on with." He said in a whispered tone, before winking at me.

Oh, no… I'd suddenly realized…this was Klaus Mikaelson, he wasn't the 'do history projects' kinda guy; did he think the history project was code for major make out session or something?!

Klaus's POV

I parked up behind Caroline and saw her fixing her hair in the mirror, I gave a little chuckle; she was really nervous around me. I decided I may as well give her something else to blush about. As I rose from my car I made sure she was looking in my direction before 'accidently on purpose' getting my shirt tugged up – I did love to see her blush, it was adorable…

I turned to look in her direction, and yes, she was flushing like crazy; the violet in her cheeks making her blue eyes even more pronounced and beautiful than usual.

"You alright love?" I inquired and cheekily bent down to whisper in her ear.

I felt her sharp intake of breath, and could almost see the thought processes formulating in her mind – I could also smell the nervous energy on her skin; I was a Hybrid after all…

Finally she answered and her words were pretty disjointed to be honest, she stuttered something about thinking; Oh I knew she was thinking alright, and if I were lucky, it would be about me…

"Thinking eh sweetheart? Well that's good considering we've got a history project to get on with…" I winked at her and gave her the best seductive smile I could manage. Bloody hell; if a history project is the only thing we do tonight, I will be damn disappointed…

Caroline's POV

"Guess we'd better go inside then…" I spoke after realizing we'd been standing out here for quite a while.

"Yes love, that does sound like a pretty good idea." Klaus replied patiently, waiting for me to open the door.

I pulled the key from my pocket and fumbled with the lock on the door, finally I pried it open once my fingers had stopped shaking. Oh gosh…this man did funny things to my mind…

I pulled open the door and stepped into the hall.

"Come on in then?" I spoke chirpily, feeling a bit foolish; he lived in a mansion with a butler and a maid! Yet here I was, inviting him into my bungalow like it was freakin' Buckingham Palace (not that I had any idea what that looked like? Being English and all, he obviously did though…)

"It would be my pleasure, love." He said sincerely.

Klaus's POV

As she invited me in I did a cheeky bow in an attempt to lighten the mood. – She gave a pretty forced laugh and I thought how lame I must have looked; at 1000 years old you would have thought that I would know how to charm a girl, it's not like I haven't done it before. I thought to myself though, she will be the first ever girl to affect me if she turns me down; I actually cared what she thought of me and for some reason that was really having an impact on my skills of seduction… Nevertheless, I'd made it this far hence my extensive knowledge on Supernatural being's – thank you Alaric Saltzman, it wasn't even my idea for him to set this project; I wondered if he'd set this task with me in mind?

I sat down on a chair in the kitchen whilst she fetched some blood bags and her assignment for us; I stared around the room and discovered how jealous I was. Her house was so homely and welcoming, somewhere where families could all be happy and be themselves; that's all I'd ever wanted for my own dysfunctional family, yet things at the mansion would never resemble anything like what Caroline and her mother had here.

"Sorry, it took me quite a while to find the blood; my mum stashed it away when we had friends over, the last things she wanted were her friends thinking we are psychopaths that steal blood from the hospital… Well, we do steal blood for the hospital but it's for an important purpose obviously... and um, we're not psychopaths, just vampires…" She stopped for a moment before speaking.

"Ohmygod… I'm rambling aren't I…" She let out a soft laugh; it was so beautiful, music to my ears.

"You ramble as much as you wish sweetheart, I love hearing what you have to say." I whispered to her; almost as if I was letting her in on one of my darkest secrets.

I felt her nod and lean further towards me, her curls tickling my neck and chin as she came gradually closer. I thought I was in heaven…

I could feel the electricity buzzing between us and the magnetic pull that was causing our faces to come closer and closer together. I stood up to completely close the gap between us at last, as I rose my foot caught on a dodgy floorboard which then made an unattractive sound:

"EEEEK."

And that was it; that was all it took to completely and utterly destroy the moment we were having.

Caroline abruptly pulled away from me, the color once again returning to her cheeks. Once again we stood in silence.

"So love, I believe we have a project to do…"

Caroline gave a big gulp and nodded her head.

"Okay, let's get to it!" She quickly mumbled.

Shame this project wasn't on how many dirty thoughts a Hybrid could possibly have in the space of a night, with her around I'd make the perfect guinea pig…
