Chapter 3
In this chapter we find out what the consequences of Hayley's actions are, if you could call them consequences that is… Enjoy!
When I reach home Klaus is already there- he must have used his super speed to get there. He's arguing with Elijah. Then he sees me and in no time at all I'm banged into a wall being strangled "DID I NOT TELL YOU TO STAY HER AT ALL TIMES?" Klaus shouts. I don't know what to do but to wrap my arms around my belly protectively over my baby. Klaus sees and lets go of me. I can feel tears welling up inside me but I won't let him see me crying so instead I run up the stairs into my room. As soon as I get there I fall onto the bed a soak my pillow with tears.
After a couple of hours of crying I hear a knock on my door. "Hayley love, please I'm sorry about that but all this crying isn't going to do any good for the baby," – its Klaus. My tears are replaced with anger.
"WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS GOD DAMN BABY? YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE IT! YOU DON'T EVEN DO ANYTHING FOR IT SO DON'T START TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS POWER. IF YOU CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THE BABY YOU WOULDN'T BE DRINKING YOUR ASS OF AND HAVING SEX WITH A DIFFERENT GIRL EVERY OTHER NIGHT!" I scream and am expecting some crap reply but I don't get one. He has just walked upstairs.
After a couple of minutes of silence, I feel guilty- I probably shouldn't have shouted that loud, I don't know what go into me, I walk up to his bedroom which is the only one on the third floor. I open it , my mouth form the shape O again: the room is round three times the size of my room and is filled with paintings most of which are very dark. I have no doubt they are all painted by the talented father of my child. There he is in the corner splashing dark paints together and using super speed to paint. I stand for a minute taking in what I was seeing. Then I remember art helps me control he told me that on the night.
"Nice painting," I startle him then, he turns around and looks at me puzzled.
"Glad you like them," he mutters. Then turns back to his painting. I wonder around and then sit cross legged on his bed. Taking in his lovely scent. I wasn't going to leave until he had given me an apology. After a while he stops and sits on the bed with me. "You should get some sleep," he says. I shake my head. "I'm genuinely sorry about earlier Hayley, I just got a bit angry. But I do hope you see that I'm doing everything that I can to keep you and our unborn baby safe. Marcels the biggest danger to our baby at the moment and the only way I can protect you from him is by gaining his trust, that why I attend his parties at the bar." I nod understanding; maybe Klaus isn't that much of a heartless monster after all.
"And I'm sorry that I shouted at you. I seriously don't know what got into me." I say. He thinks for a while as if really thinking about what I had just said and then says
"Well the Hayley I had an enjoyable night with didn't start crying at something someone said about her either." I'm trying to figure out where he's going with this and then he gives me the look I love and says "pregnancy hormones!"
We both start laughing at that and when I have drained myself of laughter he says "And for your information little wolf I have not had sex with a woman after that night with you!" I just smile at that and he smiles back.
"So for the sake of this child can we stop acting like we hate each other?" I ask.
" Yes love, I quite agree with you lets be friends…" he replies.
"Friends," I roll the word over my tounge, "That sounds good to me!" he smiles and then says
"Hayley I really think you should get some sleep now. It's good for our baby. I don't refuse this time and fall straight asleep not realising I was still on his bed.
Just before I drift off to sleep I feel his lip touch mine. He kissed me! He doesn't know I'm still awake! He must have a different definition to the word 'friend' then me, but I'm fine with that!
