AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am so sorry this is so short and so late. I had the entire thing typed up and then right before I saved... My laptop fried. So I just got it fixed and I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer. I wanted you to have the story I promised. I will be updating faster hopefully soon. Expect much longer chapters from now on.
Normally any and all of Klaus' advances annoyed Caroline to no end. Unfortunately, today he had caught her just in time to convince her to leave with him. Since Stefan had left earlier, she had thought about what he had said. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to leave. Tyler bored her to no end so she had dumped him. She used him cheating on her with Hayley as an excuse, but really she didn't care. She had known the entire time, she just used him for a reason to keep herself from giving into Klaus' advances. Elena and Damon were too wrapped up in eachother to ever care for her and Bonnie was off the walls crazy. There was just nothing in Mystic Falls for her anymore. As if he sensed her thoughts of every reason to leave, a knock sounded on her door. She would know the smell anywhere - it was most definitely Klaus. She rolled her eyes and opened her door. That smirk that he was known for crossed over his masculine features and she couldn't help but grin. "What are you doing here, Klaus?" She asked, trying to sound annoyed. "Well, love. I was actually hoping that you would change your mind about accomanying Stefan and I." He said smugly, as if he knew she were going to accept. As much as she wanted to turn him down just because of that look, she knew that this was her last chance. After a breif moment of silence, she nodded slowly. "I have thought about it for a while and I think leaving would be the best for me. You better have a lot of money, I want to shop all around the world. No compulsion is to be used." Klaus smiled and raised his eyesbrows at her outburst. He nodded, in agreement with her terms. Over the years he had made himself an honest fortune. Selling his paintings and never actually using the money meant he probably had a few million in the bank.
Caroline grinned at his nod and moved away from the doorway. "Shut the door on your way in." She said as she walked towards her room to pack. By the time she reached the stairs, she heard the door shut and his footsteps following her. She smirked and continued walking until she reached her room. She grabbed a suitcase, ignoring his presence completely. He seemed to have noticed this because she could feel his eyes digging into her back. As she began to put her clothes in her traveling case, she glaced over at him and instantly regretted it. He was staring at her with such intensity. "So, I heard about you and Stefan earlier..." He announced awkwardly. "That's none of your business." She spat back before concentrating on her suitcase. Silence filled the room, it was like you could cut the tension with a knife. After a moment of silence, he spoke again. "Are you guys in a relationship? Or is he courting you?" He asked, a tone of jealousy in his voice. Caroline quickly turned around to face him. "He is not 'courting' me or whatever and he is not my boyfriend. It was just sex, nothing else." She yelled at him, just wanting to drop it. She didn't want to talk about it at all and he couldn't leave it alone. She did feel bad though. She knew why he was asking. She knew that he was in love with her or infatuated or whatever he was. Guilt over took her and she gave him a tender look. "I'm sorry for flipping out. I'm just aggravated."
Klaus seemed to consider this before just nodding. He didn't want to hear anymore on the subject anyone. The thought of anyone but himself touching her made him sick. He just kept his mind blank and his eyes on the ceiling until she was done packing.
