A/N : Okay it starts from where I left the first chapter. I hope you guys like .. if you do lemme know via a review.
This one is all fluffy with a hint of angst but not much..
I'LL CATCH YOU , TOO!
"Oh my god…" she breathed as Klaus moved away from on top of her.
They were hyperventilating their desire still running hot. He laid on his back and groaned.
"That was.."
"Yeah..that was…" she added tucking the sheets to sheath her nakedness.
"I think I've been doing it wrong the entire time love."
"Was I even having sex before this?" they muttered simultaneously.
Then looked at each other and began laughing like a couple of loons.
He leaned over her and stole another kiss touching his laughing lips to hers , she shivered and he felt pleased.
She wound her arms around his neck. Klaus kept touching her and stroking her, he had craved her for what felt like centuries.
She flexed under his hands and mumbled , "Mmm." as if enjoying his ministrations.
"Caroline , love I think we need to take it slow."
She looked at him a little confused.
"I'm not talking about sex. I was talking about us our friendship and this new curve our life has taken."
"Okay how slow are we talking about?"
"One day at a time. I want to court you."
"Hmm. Okay. So we won't have sex then?" she asked biting her lip.
He replied a little too fast , " No! We will. What I was saying was that I want to take you on dates , movies like I would have if we hadn't been friends. Do things normal couples do and normal couples definitely make love."
She giggled and kissed him.
";;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(Six Months Later)
"I can not put up with mom and dad sometimes. It's been six freaking months that we've been dating and they still think that you're my beard so I wouldn't have to deal with town people's sympathies."
She said getting out of her car as she climbed the steps of her parents house for their wedding anniversary with Klaus behind her with his and Caroline's luggage.
She climbed the last step and was about to trip over again when he caught her yet again.
"What the hell? What am I cursed or something? Do I have more gravity? This gravity thing is definitely the explanation."
"Sweetheart. I think it's our thing." he said kissing her pouty face.
She melted under his lips and straightened.
"I refuse to let this be our thing. I want champagne to be our thing or maybe a trip to Rome, Paris or Tokyo or some fancy meal in a restaurant but this is sooo not our thing." she replied and pushed the bell on the door.
He laughed and her mother opened the door.
"Carebear. What a great surprise. Hello Klaus." her mother hugged her.
"Hello Mrs Forbes."
Then to her frustration her mother added, "You know I understand how you felt when you got cheated on but I don't think this act with him is necessary anymore." Her mother moved into the living room and she and Klaus followed her.
"Mom for the bajillionth time. Klaus and I are dating. He is my boyfriend.. my boyfriend."
"Sure honey he is." Liz Forbes gave one of those irritating smiles that made Caroline to pull out her hair , "You must be tired. It's pretty can sleep in your old room and I'll get a guest room ready for Klaus."
"Thank you Mrs Forbes."
Caroline was about to argue with her mother but Klaus squeezed her hand and silently asked her to let it go.
"So where is daddy?"
"He is a little late from work. He'll be here soon."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
At night Caroline snuck into the guest bedroom. Klaus was sitting in the bed sketching. A curl falling on his forehead and lines of concentration etched on his face. He looked adorably edible. Art was his passion when he was not busy working for the law firm he liked sketching and Caroline was obviously his muse.
She closed the door and he looked up. The instant smile that lighted his face at finding his beloved was what she lived for.
She joined him and kissed his jaw. He pulled her closer and not satisfied by a simple kiss to his jaw he kissed her mouth.
She moaned and sneaked her hands beneath his shirt. He put the sketchpad and pencil on the side table and pulled her in his arms.
"If you don't stop I'll make love to you until both of us can't move a muscle." he groaned.
"Who wants you to stop?"
"We are in your parents house love."
"So? They know what sex is. Proof in your arms."
He laughed. "I'm still not in their good books and I'd rather not make an entry in their bad book. Besides if I make love to you, you wouldn't be able to keep yourself from screaming." A devilish gleam penetrating his eyes.
"Ahh. I do not scream. It was you last time that led Mrs Donovan to file a noise complaint."
"Care to make a wager who can make whom scream?"
"I thought you wanted to get in my parents good books." she replied straddling him.
"What books? I have something much more delicious to get inside into." he suggested.
She gave out a laugh that he was crazy about.
"What does the loser have to do?" she asked.
"Loser has to convince your parents that we are together." he ran his hands under her top and she arched.
Then they each proceeded to win the wager. It appears that Caroline won this time but thanks to the soundproof walls Klaus still had a chance to make it her parents good graces.
:::::::::::::::::::::
"Carebear pass the sauce honey." Bill Forbes remarked as they were sitting at the dining table in her parents kitchen slash living room having breakfast.
She obeyed and her father asked, " So how long are you gonna stay baby?"
"Oh we will only stay for two days. Klaus has this big important meeting so we can't stay long."
Her father who had been giving Klaus murderous looks all through the breakfast pinned Klaus with his gaze and asked, "Its his meeting why do you have to go?"
"Daddy. Because he is my boyfriend. I just moved in with him a month ago."
"Okay honey enough of this charade. We know you two have been best friends and you don't just suddenly go from that to girlfriend boyfriend." her mother exclaimed.
Caroline dropped her fork with clang and almost yelled ,"Arghhh. What is with you guys? Do i have to sign in blood somewhere that he is my boyfriend or do you want me to yell it from the rooftops or get an announcement out in the paper. Oh i have a great idea I'll just have sex with him right in the middle of this table in front of you guys so you can finally believe me that I fucking love him."
Shit shit shit she and Klaus hadn't shared the L word though he always said how he adored her more than anything but that was not the same and this was definitely not the way to drop the love drone on him. And from the utter astoundment on his face she knew she was right. Ugghh and her parents were now staring at her as if she had grown five extra heads.
Everybody kept staring at her when her father remarked , "Not on my watch young lady. Besides this table was a gift from your grandma if you do that I'll never hear the end of it. Plus it's not that sturdy your mom and me.."
Her mother smacked his father with a warning glare in her eyes and Klaus whispered , "So that's where you get your smacking tendencies from."
She understood he was trying to lighten the mood and skirt around her kooky rant. However she was still embarrassed so she got up and went outside.
"I'll go after her." Klaus remarked.
:::::::::;;;;;;;;::;;;;
"Hey." he hugged her from behind as she was standing at the front porch.
She turned in his arms.
"Klaus I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to drop the L word like that and you don't have to freak out my feelings are mine I'm responsible for them you don't have…"
He kissed her then and asked , "Do I look freaked out?"
"No." but he hadn't returned the confession even she thought as a slow ache begin to spread through her.
"Then you don't have to explain yourself." he replied and she gave him a tight smile. He kissed her forehead and she tried to convince herself everything was going to be fine they were gonna be okay and it was not that big a deal that he didn't return the words….or was it?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Later that night for her parents anniversary party, her mother had invited just a few friends from the town which was translation for that the whole freaking town was invited.
She had been interacting with town's people earlier but it didn't work out well because people still were consoling her for being left at the altar. A few had even voiced her mother's mantra about Klaus.
They had cut the cake and celebrated. She was so done with them finally relieved that people were leaving and she wouldn't have to act all nice she went inside when she saw her father talking to Klaus.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"So how serious are you about this dating my daughter thing?"
"Very much so in fact I'll say I'm stubbornly in love with her almost as stubborn as you guys not believing us to be a couple." Klaus replied trying to joke.
But Bill Forbes stared at him straight faced then said , "So you're one of those nuttcracks who thinks they are funny but really they are wasting people's time. Do me a favor don't ever try to come up with a joke."
"No. I'm one of those guys who love their women more than anything. I love your daughter and I will continue to love her with everything I am and I don't care if you believe me but it matters to her that her that you believe her so it matters to me too."
Suddenly Bill cracked up a laugh and thumped him on the shoulder. Caroline had always said her father was unpredictable and a little crazy well she was right the old man was definitely off the handles.
"I like you son. Good answer with that loving thing. But I'm sorry I'll have to break your bones and make furniture out of them if you hurt my baby girl. That sofa in the living room that was once Caroline's junior high boyfriend."
Klaus felt his eyes widening the old man wasnt off the handles turns out he didnt have any handles.
Bill then rapped Klaus on his chest and started laughing again. "I'm just messing with you." When Klaus awkwardly smiled he added, "But seriously I'm planning on making a new kitchen island for my Lizzie and I'd hate to tell anybody that it's made of you."
Klaus looked at him a feeling a little more than just uncomfortable when Caroline joined them. She shifted one hand around his waist and said, "Hey guys what are you talking about?"
"Nothing baby girl. I was just telling Klaus how happy I am to have him in my house." Bill lied.
"Oh were you now? Honey dont mind anything daddy says he just is getting old."
"Hey who are you calling old? I can still make your mother…"
"Daddy no stop." Bill laughed and Caroline shook her head then looking at Klaus added , " Some of the people left Im gonna go out on the porch join me."
"Sure you go. I'll bring something to drink and be out in a minute." he replied and kissed her.
"Daddy be nice." with one warning look at her father she left.
"Mr Forbes. I want to make myself very clear. I love Caroline. She is my life and I plan to spend it with her for the rest of my life. And you threatening to turn me into furniture wont get me to back away." then he turned but before leaving he added , " Oh and I'd love to see you try to do that." and with a smirk left.
Bill found himself impressed and muttered , "Cocky son of a bitch. He'll keep my baby girl happy."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Caroline had been waiting for him at the porch for ten minutes. Many people were still dancing , some were eating and everybody was having fun. Her mom had awesome party planning skills and Caroline hadnt only inherited her blonde hair from her mom she had also gotten that talent from her.
Where was he? Caroline thought again and turned to go inside the house again when a familiar sexy British voice called out.
"Hello. Is this mic on? Oh good its working."
She turned towards his voice and circling around the left side of the backyard saw Klaus standing on the large oak tree that had been a part of the backyard for more then twenty years.
She saw people walk over to see what was going on.
Her heart did multiple backflips in her chest when she saw he had decorated the tree with lights that spelled.
"However long it takes"
He was standing on a branch and with a smile that she loved said , "Caroline Forbes. You are my heart , my life and my love. Yes the capital letter L love. I love you. I am in love with you and falling out of it seems impossible every waking or asleep moment I spend with you. So please be mine forever so I can keep loving you and proving to you and all these people that I am the one for you as you are the only one for me. And baby I intend to be your last however long it takes." saying that he tried to climb out but his foot got entangled and he fell.
The women who had been Awwing and men had been cheering him on , all shrieked when he fell.
Caroline raced by his side and instantly putting his head on her lap she asked , "Oh my god. Honey are you okay?"
"Yeah Im fine." he tried to move but hissed., " I think Im gonna lie here for awhile. So finally I fell and you caught me."
She chuckled a lone tear escaping her eye she wiped and kissed him. " Barely. Is this you just coming through with wager?"
"No not just that. Its also me asking you to have mercy on me and let me love you forever. Will you marry me?"
"Yes. Yes . Yes." she peppered kisses on his face. " What crackass wonderful way of proposing. Getting down on one knee is so last decade." she joked and he laughed against her mouth.
Then he tried to move again but winced.
"Could you reach into my left pocket? I had planned to jump down with style and ask on one knee but you know."
She took out a small box and gasped as she opened the lid and saw a beautiful square cut diamond in the centre with a small ringlet of blue ones around it.
He pulled her hand and put it on. Another tear fell and this time he leaned up a little and kissed it.
Then leaning back he asked, " Be mine."
She answered , "Always." and they kissed each other as her parents and everybody else watching said, "They always knew Klaus was the only one for Caroline."
