Ok. I am now going to give you a VERY good chapter, hopefully. I need to say that the last chapter, was a complete disaster. Thank you to lateVMmover, who brought that to my attention. So, Klaus and Caroline are in Rome, at the Mikaelson villa. And, Klaus just slighty made a move on Caroline. So, lets find out how she reacted to it, and see how Klaus makes Rome romantic.

Chapter 6: Benvenuto a Roma (Welcome to Rome)

Caroline woke up feeling completely refreshed and new. But, something was still lingering in her mind. Klaus asking if she wanted to spend he summer in Rome and her saying yes. The thought of spending the summer in another country was pretty alluring. Suddenly, Caroline's phone buzzed for the first time in three days.

Unknown Number

Morning, Sweetheart. Breakfast is ready.

Caroline placed her phone back onto the bedside table. Slipping out from beneath the luxurious sheets, and placing her feet on the cool hardwood, she walked into her closet. Knowing it would be warm, Caroline pulled a pair of black shorts on. A floral top with flutter sleeves matched her shorts. Black wedges and a red coral bracelet added some sass. She curled her hair out of habit, applied light makeup and grabbed white shades from atop the vanity. With the sunglasses on top of her head and her phone in her hand, Caroline went downstairs

Klaus was sitting in the villa's breakfast nook when Caroline found him.

"Morning." she chirped, pulling a chair out for herself.

"I see you received my message?" Klaus said, placing the coffee cup in his hand back on the breakfast table.

"Yes." Caroline replied, placing a bagel on her plate.

"I'm thinking you want to now where we are visiting today?" Klaus asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh...Yea, I would." Caroline said, biting into her breakfast.

"I was planning to go to the Sistine Chapel." Klaus said, getting up and pushing in his chair.

"That is a very good plan." Caroline agreed, brushing crumbs of herself and pushing in her chair.

Klaus led her the garage outside the villa, and motioned for her to stay where she was. The roaring sound of an engine tore through the air as the Original hybrid cruised out from behind a garage door in a 1989 Jaguar convertible in raging hot red. Red seemed to be a popular color with Klaus. The sun glinted off his sunglasses as he drove up in front of Caroline.

"Hop in." Klaus said, grinning like a kid.

"So, to the Sistine Chapel?" Caroline asked, as she buckled her seat belt and slipped down her sunglasses.

"As you wish, sweet Caroline." Klaus replied as he drove towards the city.

Caroline was enjoying the feel of riding in the car with the top down. The radio was blaring some unrecognizable song, and Klaus was keeping to himself. The day seemed so normal, not weird or anything. For the first time in months, Caroline felt happy.

"Enjoying the view, love?" Klaus asked, looking over at her.

"I love it. But, this wind is messing up my hair." Caroline complained.

"Sweetheart, you're in Rome, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and your complaining about your hair?" Klaus asked, trying not to laugh.

"Hey, a girl needs beauty." Caroline said, snapping back.

"Well, beauty has arrived." Klaus said, parking the car.

"We're here?" Caroline asked, looking around at the busy streets until she spotted the historic landmark.

"Are you ready to be touched by one of art's greatest masterpieces?" Klaus asked, holding out his hand.

"I believe I am." Caroline said, stepping out of the car and closing th door. Klaus locked it.

The pair carefully crossed the street, avoiding crazy drivers. The door to the church was open, and tourists were flooding in.

"This is so beautiful." Caroline said once they were inside.

"Michelangelo was a great man." Klaus said, looking up.

"Let me guess, you knew him?" Caroline asked, turning around to face him.

"We were some what of friends." Klaus said, wandering around the pillars.

"Oh." Caroline said, disappointed.

"We are holding up the flow, love." Klaus said, shifting Caroline back into the crowds.

They toured the rest the chapel in silence, only to speak to each other when necessary. The church was astounding to Caroline, but to Klaus it was the same thing he had seen before. After they had exited, Klaus led Caroline to a little café. When they sat down, a waiter brought them two glasses of water and a basket filled with rolls.

"I don't know what to get." Caroline said, fingering through the menu.

"How about since I know all about the cuisine here, I order what I think you will like." Klaus offered.

"That is a good idea." Caroline said, placing her menu down.

When the waiter came to take their orders, the dish names jus rolled off Klaus's tongue. The meals arrived in less than fifteen minutes, bringing a mouth-watering aroma with them. The waiter placed a steaming dish of pasta in front of Caroline, and a bowl of some thick liquid in front of Klaus.

"What is this?" Caroline asked cautiously before digging in.

"That is Italian Penne with Chicken and Spinach." Klaus replied, unfolding his napkin.

"What is yours?" Caroline asked, nodding towards his bowl.

"Italian sausage soup." Klaus replied, taking a bite.

Caroline followed his lead and dug in. The chicken was heavenly, and the spinach was crisp and fresh. The sauce melted in her mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste. Caroline finished before Klaus, suprising the hybrid.

"I guess you enjoyed that, sweetheart." Klaus said, leaving a check on the table as they left.

"I will never eat pasta from a box again!" Caroline declared, giggling.

They walked to the car, and Klaus turned on the ignition.

"Where are we going?" Caroline asked, checking her reflection in the side mirror.

"We are headed back to the villa." Klaus said, backing out of his parking place.

"Ok." Caroline said, leaning back.

They pulled into the ongoing traffic, heading west into the Italian sun.

I hope this if enough to satisfy until tomorrow. Please review your thoughts. I love hearing what you guys think and your amazing ideas! There will be some deep Klaroline action in Chapter 7, so be ready. Also, more on the Hayley drama.
