A/N Here is Chapter 6. I hope you like this one you get a little insight to Klaus' past. Sorry for any grammatical errors or if at any point the story doesn't make sense. Enjoy!
Caroline falls on her couch after a long work week kicking off her heels and putting her arm over her eyes. She feels like she has been on the go none stop since the day after The Strokes concert. She spent Sunday writing and organizing her schedule for the week. Her concert story ran on the front page of the entertainment section in the Chronicle on Monday morning, earning her a happy text message from Ian asking her when they could have lunch, she told him he'd let her know. Her week started off with being in the office every morning by 7:30.
Monday through Wednesday besides work she spent it with Elena in the evenings to get her apartment back in order leaving them with a redecorated living room, her closest full of only her things, and a plan for her office. On Thursday she covered a black and white fundraising benefit that required her to step up her outfit a few notches; she wore a red A-Line sweetheart floor length evening dress. Caroline enjoyed those events because she's been to quit a few, especially when she was dating the son of women in high society, but she always preferred jeans and t-shirt. Today, Friday she finished writing her weekend stories, and helped Jessica in the office, editing stories, photos and helping her hand out assignments to other reporters. She even got assigned a student intern today named April. Caroline loved working with student interns because they were so fresh, but she called it quits at the office by five because she just wanted to be at home. So to say she had a busy week was an understatement because all she wanted to do when she got home this evening was go to bed.
But the thing that was kept her stomach in a knot was the fact that she didn't see Klaus all week, after the concert and pie she hasn't even run into him in the hallway. She smiled thinking back to last weekend, well everything can't always be exciting she said as she got up and started unbuttoning her blouse. Caroline wanted to horde on the couch for the rest of the night with dinner and a nice glass of wine while catching up on her reading. Elena had plans with her brother Jeremy so this allowed her a break from her best friend. Elena stopped by the afternoon after the concert hounding Caroline for details of what's going on between her and Klaus. She also filled her in on what happen with Tyler, and that's when Elena made it her mission to key his car. After two hours of convincing her that Klaus and her were just friends Elena simple told Caroline that she was lying to herself because she didn't want to see how good Klaus was for her, but dropped it none the less. Maybe she was lying to herself I mean after almost kissing him at the show followed with his little fit of jealously, would that be lines for just friends. Caroline sighed as she walked into her room getting the thought out of her head. She changed out of her work clothes and into a pair of red boy shorts and a white tank top. She tied her hair up in a ponytail before walking back into the kitchen.
Klaus growled in frustration as he hung up his phone walking off the elevator a little after 6 p.m., his work week was ridiculous. Being the CFO of San Francisco's top advertising firm was a great job, but this week seemed to test his patience. He was hit with an audit notification from the IRS because the firm's owner is an idiot playboy, and now he has to clean up his mess. This left him in the office going through all this past years financial files, counting every dollar spent and every dollar earned just to prove that it was taxed properly. He spent every day in his office until he dragged himself home every night by midnight. Why he wanted to stay a CFO was beyond him at this point, he had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but to stay in his brothers good graces he must always appear to be a good civilian. Klaus even considered just selling his art for a living, but he never really presented his work to people. He may be damn good with money and a knife, but people not so much.
That wasn't even the tip of the ice berg, he left Damon in charge of arranging their trip to New York this weekend, and that man proved to be only good for his pretty face and his ability to yield a long range rifle. That was who he just hung up on, instead of them staying in a hotel near Conner's condo Damon accepted to be a house guest of their new friend. Telling Klaus that it seemed like a fool proof plan and this lead Klaus to politely refuse without pissing off the man he would eventually end. To Conner and Galen, Klaus was Dean Walker and Damon was Kris Davies, business partners from Europe. He just got done telling Damon he fixed his mess, because he informed Conner they didn't want to intrude on him any further than necessary, but they looked forward to their upcoming business meetings.
They were set to leave for New York tomorrow at noon, giving them enough time to get settled at the hotel, and prep properly for the night's events. They were meeting Galen and Conner for dinner at 9 p.m. to discuss business before the party at 11. Elijah prepped the money they would be using for that deal it would be in there hotel when they arrived tomorrow along with everything else they needed for the job, and Elijah is arranged to be their European contact when needed. Klaus walked into his apartment throwing his suit jacket on the couch and promptly taking off his tie to unbutton his shirt. He kicked off his shoes as he walked down the hallway pulling his shirt ends out of his dress pants. He just wanted to relax with a glass of brandy, some food and a good book until his real work began tomorrow night. He walked into his room to change into a black wife beater, and some sweatpants.
As he was changing he pulled his necklaces out from his shirt and caught himself thinking about Caroline, he hasn't seen her all week since it's been a working nightmare. He smiled when he thought of how embarrassed she got while at the diner, and how she almost kissed him. He wouldn't even get to see her this weekend because of his little "working" trip to New York because he wouldn't return until Sunday evening. He had a whole day planned in New York following his little job and he intended on enjoying it, granted it would be nicer if she could join but not this time he thought. I wonder what she's doing tonight, he asked himself as he walked into his kitchen and poured himself a glass of bourbon before getting his phone out of his suit pocket pulling up her number and hitting message.
Caroline sat on her feet by the arm of her couch with a glass of wine in hand, music playing lighting in the background reading through the second chapter of a book she's been avoiding all month when her phone goes off. She puts her wine on the coffee table, and grins when she sees who the message is from.
Good evening sweetheart, I haven't heard from you all week.
I could say the same for you Mr. Mikaelson. I'm starting to miss our little talks in the elevator. She smiles hitting send. Caroline put her bookmark in place setting her book on the table as she leaned back in her couch sipping her wine.
Klaus smiled at her response because it seemed like he was missed this week. Haha yes well I apologize for my absence Miss. Forbes my work week has been…intense to say the least.
Tell me about it. I have been on the go all week. I finally have time tonight to actually relax :-)
Klaus chuckles as he sips his drink, And what exactly are you doing tonight to relax, another girl's night with Elena?
Caroline giggled of course he would think that, Haha no, no Elena, she's out with her brother so it's just me and a book tonight.
He smiled putting his feet up on his coffee table, it seems we have the same mind set for tonight love. Have you eaten dinner?
Caroline looked at her kitchen after reading his text and sighed. She was not in the mood to cook dinner. She was planning on ordering take out. No I haven't, I am sooo not in the mood to cook either. :-p So I am taking the easy route and ordering take out, why?
Klaus got up from his seat and went into his kitchen. He had supplies to make a pizza and he's been meaning to do it for a while. Don't order anything yet love. I'll be over in 20 minutes.
Umm…ok but I'm in my pajamas. Was all Caroline could think as she finished her wine.
He chuckled as he prepped the parmesan and garlic French bread to make the pizza. That won't be a problem, because I'm in my sleep wear as well. I'll be over in a few minutes with dinner.
Caroline smiled and walked back into the kitchen to pour her another glass of wine, and bring another glass down for Klaus. She would have started reading again but her mind was racing she was excited to see him.
Klaus slipped his pair of black slippers on as he walked out of his apartment with the fresh French bread pizza in hand. He locked his door before walking down the hall to Caroline's.
Caroline was playing Angry Birds Star Wars on her phone when she heard knocking on the door that caused her to miss the final piggy. "Oooo stupid piggy," she mumbles. "Hold on!" She got off the couch and turned off her stereo before she walked over to answer it.
She opened the door and smiled when she saw Klaus standing there with a tray of pizza in hand. She couldn't help but let her eyes linger down his body admiring the tank top that hugs his fine toned chest as it exposes his perfectly muscular arms and the way his sweats hang off his hips. Caroline instinctively bite her lower lip to keep her mind focused when she realized she was staring is when a smirk appeared on Klaus's face.
Klaus didn't know what to say when he saw her answer the door in those so called red shorts, they showed off her long pale legs perfectly, and that tank top fit snuggly around the curves of her body. She was showing so much skin it was hard for him to focus, and he suddenly had start thinking of old ladies when he saw her pull her bottom lip between her teeth.
"Oh come in," she moved to the side as he walked into her apartment.
"I made us a French bread pizza," he smiled walking in to place the pizza on her kitchen table before looking around the apartment noticing some boxes by the door and a new everything. "Did you redecorate?"
"Yes, Elena helped me pick out a few new things. She said I needed new everything for the new me," she points to herself and giggles. "I am never going into a bed, bath, and beyond with that woman again. She's a little crazy," she laughs twirling her index finger near her head as she walks to her cabinet to get her and Klaus some plates for dinner.
Klaus chuckled, "I like it. It suits you." He looked at the modern black coach, her glass coffee table, and dark red area rug that covered her tiled floors in the living room. Her window was covered with a light black curtain that allowed the lights of the city to dimply shine through them, and her entertainment center stood to the right of her window with a small flat screen TV, an Xbox, and a tower of movies, games and CDs. Her stereo stood off in the corner on a night stand.
"I didn't take you for a girl who played video games sweetheart."
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Klaus." She smiled sweetly placing the plates on the table.
She started playing video games in college after she met Elena. When Elena was out doing her thing she often stayed in her dorm room with Matt and Elena's brother Jeremy, who would then invite over some of their friends for a night of gaming. At first she thought it was ridiculous until she actually tried it, and soon with those two in the room it would turn into a night of Halo or Call of Duty tournaments as they all started cussing at each other for wrongfully dying from a plasma grenade. Caroline giggled because she recalled when Elena said she needed to stop hanging out with "the boys" so much because she was losing her girlfriend. It was a lot of fun and every now and then when Caroline feels like tossing a few plasma grenades or even just enjoying a game of Tetris she'll switch on the Xbox and game it for an hour or so. She would even occasionally still invite over Jeremy and Matt when they were up for some multiplayer. "Would you like a glass of wine?"
"Yes I'd love one, and I am beginning to pick up on that Miss. Forbes. First the art, Social Distortion, the Italian, and now video games, hmmmm you're becoming more intriguing every second." He smiled as he walked up to the counter where she had the wine.
"Social Distortion?" she looked at him confused handing him his wine.
"Yes, last weekend before the show. As I was waiting for the elevator I heard the muffled guitar riffs and singing of the one and only Mike Ness, I must say darling I didn't take you for a punk," he smirked bringing his wine to his lips.
"Oh really," she rolled her eyes smiling. "Well Mr. Mikaelson if you must know I happen to adore punk rock. I may have been captain of my cheerleading squad and I walked away with the crown from the Miss Mystic Falls pageant but that doesn't mean this perky blonde can't handle herself on the floor of a concert," she smirked as she brought her wine glass to her lips. "Plus I love Social Distortion I mean come on Mike Ness he's the original "Sick Boy" what girl wouldn't want a bad boy like that." She smiled sweetly at Klaus.
Klaus laughed raising his eye brows, "So you were a cheerleader?"
She smacked his chest and walked to the kitchen table taking a seat, "That's all you took from that." She laughed.
Klaus shrugged and joined her at the table, "No, but I will add that to the list of things that make you admirable. I mean do you still have the outfit?" he smirked as she rolled her eyes at him.
"And as far as your admiration for punk rock I find it refreshing because I happen to love the genre myself, although I must say the bad boy of my influence was none other than Sid Vicious, you know growing up in London and all." He said smiling at Caroline.
"Nice, I think what I found intriguing about Sid Vicious was how his image, even today, glorified what punk rock supposedly was back then," she smiled as she started to make hand gestures to emphasis her point.
"I mean that's when punk rock was considered dangerous. But to sum it all up I think that in the Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten was the voice of punk rock, but Vicious was the image," Caroline smiled as Klaus stared at her in shook admiring the passion she had in her voice as she spoke.
"So what did you make us for dinner?" Her eyes beamed at the pizza, she didn't realize how hungry she was until the smell actually hit her nostrils.
"No no no love," he waved his hands in front of her. "You can't drop that prime line of history without gaining my interest," he smiles. "Explain yourself." he raises his glass to for her to continue.
She giggled, "I'm a journalist Klaus," she shrugged. "Research it's in my blood. It's not that big of a deal." She looked down at her wine to break away from Klaus gaze as she took a sip.
"Oh don't be so modest, I can't think of any woman I've met that has even been able to tell me who Sid Vicious is," he chuckled before smirking when he saw Caroline blushed.
"Well on to dinner," he smiled leaning on the table. "We are having French bread pizza, a simple dish but I'm sure you'll enjoy it none the less," he smiled placing a piece on the plate in front of her.
Caroline blew on the pizza before taking a bite, her eyes widen. "Oh my god this is delicious." She smiled chewing her food.
Klaus smiled before taking bite of his food.
"If you keep cooking for me Klaus I think I might end up never cooking again," she smiled
He chuckled, "I wouldn't see a problem in that sweetheart. I rather enjoy your company." He smiled.
"Maybe I can make you dinner tomorrow, that way will be even," she smiled popping a pepperoni in her mouth.
Klaus frowned, "I am actually going on a business trip this weekend. I leave tomorrow."
"Oh well rain check," she smiled hiding her disappointment picking up her wine. She liked his company and her only plans for the weekend were Matt because he was finally coming by to pick up the rest of Tyler's things. Not really something to look forward to.
"Of course," Klaus smiled. "What are you plans for this weekend?"
"I get to see Matt tomorrow actually."
"And what do you and your "gay" husband have on the agenda," he chuckled while eating his pizza.
Caroline smiled innocently, "Oh you know maybe a bubble bath. I mean I do need to relieve some stress." She laughed as soon as the smile on Klaus's face disappeared. "Ahhh Klaus you're too easy." She smirked finishing her wine. "He's actually coming by to pick up those boxes." She pointed to the stack of boxes by the door.
He smiled shaking his, "It's not nice to tease love." He pointed at her as he finished his wine. "What's in the boxes?"
"Tyler"
"Oh"
"Yeah Matts picking up the rest of his stuff" she smiled noticing the worried look on Klaus's face she chuckled. "Don't look at me like that. I'm fine," she walked to the kitchen counter to refill her wine before leaning back against it. "And to be honest it's because of you." She smiled gesturing her glass toward him as he walked over to join her.
"What do you mean?" He topped off his wine leaning next to her.
"Well last weekend was amazing it was so much fun and I honestly didn't expect it to be, but it wasn't just that," she paused and looked at him smiling softly.
"It was the way you took care of me after I fought with Tyler. No one sees me that broken Klaus trust me," her eyes widens as she sips her wine. "Not even Elena, he seeing me after catching Tyler was as bad as it's ever been, but when you saw me it was much worst."
"I'm usually a strong girl I don't break easy, but that day you saw me completely weak, and you took care of me. No questions asked. You patched up my hands." She looked down at the healing scabs on her hands. She looked back up and saw Klaus staring at her with a soft smile.
"So don't worry I'm fine." She whispered when Klaus grabbed her hand and lightly traces his fingers over the scabs. "See their healing." She smiled when Klaus looked up at her; she had to remind herself to breath as their eyes locked.
She broke the gaze by pulling her hand away, "Anyway let me clean up this mess. Why don't you pick a movie or something we can watch since you're going away this weekend." She smiled.
Klaus chuckled looking at the empty bottle of wine. "Sure, but first do you have any more wine?"
"Hmmm…" Caroline looked in her cabinets. "No I don't actually."
"I have a bottle in my apartment let me go get it," he smiled throwing the empty wine bottle in the trash. "Be right back."
She chuckled as soon as he walked out of her apartment Caroline took a deep breath before she started to give herself a pep talk.
"Get it together Forbes you can handle watching a movie with Klaus as he sits on your couch in that tank top with his arms begging you touch them. Ahhhh," she screamed a little frustrated asking herself why he had to be so beautiful. "Stop it! He is just your friend, who are you kidding."
Caroline walked toward the door about to make up an excuse to tell Klaus she had to cancel their little movie. She stepped out in the hall and was not prepared at all for what she saw. "Oh I'm sorry." She looked down shaking her head walking back into her apartment closing the door quickly.
Klaus walked into his apartment and retrieved a bottle of wine from his cooler. He was fond of fine whiskey and red wine. He walked out of his apartment hearing the elevator door ding before turning his back toward the hall to lock his door, as soon as he turned around he was met with Tatiana's mouth as her hands shot around his neck holding him in place. He was finally able to pull her hand away from his neck and push her away but not before he heard her.
"Oh I'm sorry." Klaus looked up and saw Caroline walk back into her apartment quickly.
"Caroline wait…" he sighed when he heard the door slam.
Tatiana giggled, "You have a cute neighbor and now where was I." She leaned forward.
He pushed Tatiana off him, "What the hell are you doing here. I thought I made myself clear."
Tatiana just giggled slurring a little, "Come on Nik, I'm here for another week. Now open your door so we can have a little fun." She let her finger slide down his torso.
He pushed her hand away as she reached the rim of his sleep pants, "I told you Tatia it will never happen again were over and trust me it's going to stay that way. So now if you would please get the hell out of here I was occupied," he glared at her.
She scuffed, "With what your neighbor." She laughed. "Oh come on Nik she'll never be able to make you feel like I did." She said seductively as she stepped forward in her six-inch blood red pumps.
"And when are you going to stop punishing me I apologized for that. It was not my fault your brother couldn't tell the difference between me and my sister," she smirked. "I just didn't correct him."
Klaus growled and grabbed her arm and dragged her to the elevator pushing the down button. "You knew very well that was all you're doing. No one dresses exactly like their sister to the same party. You took advantage of Elijah during that party, and you're just sorry you got caught." He spat as soon as the elevator door opened slightly pushing her inside. "I'm warning you Tatiana don't come back here." He pointed at her.
She licked her lips smirking as she pushed the lobby button wiggling her finger. "See you later Nik." She said as the door closed.
Klaus's grip tightens around the wine bottle as he sighed running his hand through his hair. He turned around and walked toward Caroline's apartment. He stopped in front of the door. He was hoping he would never have to explain Tatiana, but after what she saw he couldn't lie to her. He thought their relationship was growing, god knows he wanted her to see him more as a friend one day, and he didn't want to ruin it, at least not yet. He took a deep breath hearing her yell a little before knocking on her door.
Caroline lay on her couch reading trying to keep her mind off of what she just saw. Well now at least you know where he stands, so being friends shouldn't be so hard, she told herself as she re-read the same page for the third time.
Sighing she put the book back on the coffee table and just put her arm over her eyes. How can you compete with that, his sister did say he liked brunettes, and she was gorgeous. Legs for miles, and beautiful brown skin, yup he defiantly knows how to pick em. The sight of his lips locked with the brunettes flashed in her head and she felt her stomach knot. Why are you jealous Caroline, she grunted in frustration, he can kiss whoever he wants she yelled before she heard a knock on her door.
Caroline sighed in frustration as she flipped her legs off the couch and walked to the door. She knew it was Klaus there was no way to avoid this conversation; they were neighbors, and friends. She opened the door and saw a nervous looking Klaus hold out a bottle of wine and wiggle it in front of her. She opened her door wider and let him in.
Klaus walked to the kitchen counter and reached for the corkscrew lying by her sink. He opened the bottle and quickly poured him and Caroline a glass. He sighed as he walked to the couch to join her. He smiled handing her the glass of wine before he sat next to her, noticing her put a little distance between them. He took a drink before he finally offered an explanation.
"I can explain—"
"Klaus you really don't have to it's none of my business," she raised her hands shaking her head.
"Caroline it's not what you think so please let me explain." He looked at her hopeful. She only nodded for him to continue.
"That was Tatiana," he motioned with his glass of wine toward his apartment door. "My ex-girlfriend." He paused to see Caroline's eye widen.
"I ended my relationship with Tatia almost a year ago when I caught her in the coat room with my older brother," he took a drink of his wine.
"That's awful."
"It was, but I don't hate my brother because it wasn't his fault."
"What do you mean?"
He sighed, "Tatiana is an identical twin. Her sister Katherine is my older brother Elijah's wife. I actually met Tatia through Katherine because I mistook her for Kat." He chuckled recalling how he thought Kat was cursing at him. "My brother loves his wife, trust me I know."
"Ok so what happen?" Caroline scooted closer to Klaus looking at him worriedly.
Klaus laughed, "Believe it or not it was during my birthday celebration last May. My older brother and his wife were kind enough to host it at their house. It was a splendid party. Open bar, the works so needless to say a lot of people in the house got quite plastered." He smiled sipping his wine. "Including Elijah and trust me my older brother rarely gets that drunk. He's the responsible one of the group," he smiled using his hands to make air quotations causing Caroline to softly chuckle.
"Me and Tatiana were having problems, she was angry about my work mostly. Complaining how I was able to travel to places she wasn't, and the amount of time it took me away sometimes. In fact we had a fight just before the party. She told me to leave without her and she would join me later, she did and I didn't really think anything of it when she was dressed exactly like Katherine. The only way you could tell them apart was the single diamond necklace she was wearing, because I gave it to her.
"I was nearing my second bottle of brandy and I was just happy to see her. But her sweet intentions weren't meant for me that night. She took off that necklace and led Elijah into the coat room. Pulling out every trick Katherine knew her husband adored about her," Klaus stopped for a sec taking a gulp of his wine.
"I'm not a smoker but I do occasionally enjoy a cigar. I bought three of them that night, for me and my brother's. It's a family tradition for Mikaelson brothers to enjoy a glass of scotch and smoke a cigar in the study on our birthdays. My younger brother Kol pulled me aside saying I should fetch the cigars while he gets Elijah so we could retire to the study for a bit.
"That's when I realized they were in my jacket pocket, and what I found in the coat room instead was Tatia in her underwear straddling Elijah. I thought it was Katherine at first, but I saw Tatiana's birthmark on her lower back. I yelled, she screamed, Elijah was confused until he saw Katherine join me at the door," Klaus downed the rest of his wine the grip of the wine glass seen by the whiteness of his knuckles but he felt Caroline grab his hand that was resting on his knees. He looked up at her and smiled, he's never talked of what happen with Tatiana because it was humiliating. But when he looked into her eyes he saw how genuinely sorry she was.
"After Elijah got done explaining and I stopped seeing red I stormed out but Tatiana followed apologizing. I never looked back to acknowledge her. I think that is what pissed her off the most me ignoring her because she started yelling at me telling me that she was stupid to pick me over Elijah because she saw Elijah first but let Katherine have him. She told me she never loved me and she only wanted to try and win back Elijah. So that's what ended that relationship, but I don't hate my brother it wasn't his fault. I was a fool to think Tatiana was my love, and Elijah was just an unfortunate fool," he laughed lightly.
"How long were you two together?"
"Hmm…we got together just after I moved to San Francisco so an almost three years. I met her just before Katherine and Elijah were going to get married, because she was the maid of honor and I was the best man. It's all history from there," he smiled.
"So is she the bitch brunette your sister was referring to," Caroline chuckled trying to lighten the mood, and it worked because he laughed nodding.
"Yes, Rebekah wasn't too fond of her after what happen. In fact she almost put Tatiana in the hospital because of it. If it wasn't for Kol to pull our sister off her when she ventured to search of me it would have been a lot worse than a black eye and busted lip," he chuckled because his baby sister was a fire cracker. He remembered when he first heard of it, he was furious at first but couldn't help but feel pride in his sister. "So that was the love life of Klaus Mikaelson before it resorted to what you see in the elevators on occasion."
Caroline laughed, "Well hey," she nudged his side with her shoulder. "We can be damaged together." She smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Klaus chuckled and rested his head on hers. "I'd like that."
She smiled before popping up and holding out her hand. "Come on let's make some popcorn and watch us a horror flick."
He grabbed her hand and got out of the couch. "I can do Horror." He smirked as Caroline rolled her eyes.
"I'll make the popcorn and you browse through the movies, if you don't find anything you like turn the Xbox on for Netflix," she smiled before turning on her heel headed toward the kitchen.
Klaus looked through her collection of DVDs coming across what he expects some romantic comedies, but was surprised by her collection. The Evil Dead series, the thing, the shining, he chuckled when he even saw The Avengers and Thor. After deciding to check Netflix for a more modern horror flick he couldn't contain a snort when he read her gamer tag BlondeDistration13. He settled on Sinister, he hasn't seen but he heard it was supposed to be a decent horror flick.
As he leaned back in the couch Caroline walked around him with a bowel of popcorn in one hand and a plush blanket in the other. It was dark outside, and the only thing lighting the living room was a tall lamp in the corner. Caroline looked at her clock on the wall and it read after nine. She shrugged and took a seat next to Klaus. "Do you want the lights on or off?" she smirked.
He chuckled as he stood up walking around turning off all the lights and locking the apartment door. "Comfortable," he smiled sitting next to her.
"I am actually," she smiled and handed him the bowl of popcorn and spread the blanket of both of them. "So what are we watching?"
"Sinister" he said casually popping a few corns in his mouth.
"Seriously, out of all the horror movies you choose the only one I really wasn't looking forward to watching," she looked at him. "If I end up death gripping your arm because of this damn movie it's your own fault." She pointed her finger at him before reaching for the popcorn bowl in his lap.
Klaus smirked, "My arm is all yours sweetheart." He laughed when Caroline smacked his arm lightly.
"Just play the movie Klaus" she smirked avoiding his gaze.
Near the end of the movie Caroline fell asleep holding on to Klaus's arm, she kept closing her eyes to avoid certain scenes and before she knew she was sleeping. Klaus lightly tapped her.
"Sweetheart the movies over," he yawned and he felt Caroline grip from his arm loosen and her eyes open. "I think I should head back to my apartment love.
"No," she mumbled as she pulled him back on the couch scooting over so he could lie down. "Stay." She got more comfortable on Klaus's chest and fell back asleep.
He smiled as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled the blanket back over them. He adjusted his position so he could actually get some sleep, and smiled when he heard her grumble.
"Ehhhh….Klaus stop moving," she tapped him with her hand.
"Sorry love," he kissed her head whispering. "Good night."
Caroline nodded on his cheat before mumbling. "Night."
Klaus lay their looking at the ceiling with Caroline in his arms and smiled. I think it's time you ask her on a proper date Klaus, he told himself as he started to drift off to sleep.
A/N do you think there ready for a first date or should it wait a little so Caroline can get her sea legs back. Maybe Ian can help with that, i don't know. In the next chapter it will be the trip to New York, still open for how Klaus should take care of Conner, and i will also include what Caroline is up to after she wakes up. Let me know what you thought i am open to any criticism because that is what makes a story better. Leave me a review. Thanks I will update as quick as i can.
