chapter 8

after caroline had headed home all she wanted was to rest but she couldnt seem to get comfortable sighing knowing the reason she stood up and made her way into the kitchen for the cleaning supplies she would need for the blood before getting to work on scrubbing her bed room wall.

klaus was busy trying to not think about his brothers words but if it werent elijahs words floating around in his head it was carolines so he decided to do something about it.

he flashed to her house being careful of prying eyes seeing how it was day light he had came into her house but stooped dead in his tracks as he watched her clean in nothing but a pair of shorts that where way to small and a tank top, the sight caused a stir in his pants but that wasn't what stopped him it was her voice.

'had to go through hell to prove im not insane... had to meet the devil to know his name...and thats when my love was burning... yeah.. its still burning...I keep going to the river to pray...'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain...And at most...I'm sleeping all these demons away...But your ghost,... the ghost of you...It keeps me awake' he watched as she turned to pick up her bucket of bloody water startled when she see klaus standing there "klaus, what-"

with out realising what he was doing his hands had found there way into her hair locking her head in his hands as he crashed his lips to hers.

their lips meeting each other in a spark that ignited a fire in caroline.

she broke apart breathing heavily, his hands leaving her hair and falling to his sides he watched as she seemed to be having an arguement inside her head the silence killing him.

taking a step away from her "caroline... i dont ...i'm-" "screw it" she suddenly said before crashing her self onto him the momentum causing him to step back his hands automatically going to her waist as hers held either side of his face her lips finding his.

passion burning deeply inside of them as they kissed teeth tongues and lips crashing together, not noticing the swarm of black birds that suddenly are flying above her house before crashing down into the forest floor.

as caroline laid her head breathless on a naked klaus's chest trying to gather strength to move to ask the one question that was burning her brain from the moment they had finished their passionate love display, she pulled her head up to look at klaus 'he's gorgeous' was the first thing that went through her brain.

"klaus?" just his name was a question as she moved so she was lying fully on her stomach not touching him to be safe. he turned his head to the side arching an eye brow at her questionally "what do we do now" he smirks and his eyes glaze with a spark of lust causing her to shake her head "no not that i mean us" she said using her finger to indicate between the two of them.

"are you saying that your finally going to give me a chance love" he watches with bated breath as she bites her lip and nods her head "what is it caroline" he ask hating the nervousness he was suddenly feeling "what about the erm you know you never did tell me what you think your gonna do about the baby" he smiles and lets out a tiny laugh

"caroline love i have been waiting for years for you to become the queen that you are and like ever king they need an heir" he said with a smile "so your saying" "im saying love that i'm not going to be perfect , im going to do alot of things that wont make you proud and probably make you want to re-think this and i have high doubts that i'll be able to be a good father but if your willing to give me a chance then im willing to try" caroline let out a squel and kissed him "thats all i ask because if you can try then so can i, and try to forgive me when i do something that you dont agree with"

she lets out after the kiss ends, anger and betrayal flood his eyes "what are you saying caroline" "no klaus dont jump , im saying lets face it your probably the most stubborn person i've met and i'm just as stubborn so were going to inevitable clash alot and say and do things to piss the other one off so im saying that i hope that we'll be able to forgive the other one when we do it, im not saying i've already done something to betray you" she said sliding back ontop of him "i want you to be able to trust me"

the honesty in her eyes make it hard for klaus to find any deciet in her intentions "that may take a lot of time" "how much time so you think" "how long are you willing to wait" he ask after hearing her playfulness in her voice "how ever long you want me to" "well it may take a century" "i'll wait how ever long it takes" that made klaus smile a full on boyish innocent smile that had his cheeks straining as he crashed his lips to hers "it may take for ever" he says hoping she wont say something to rain on his parade.

"i want forever" she said making his smile grow even more "you did promise me after all" she smirked then remembering what he said at her graduation "you'll be my last love if im yours two" she said some of her confidence wavering "you'll be my only love" he said kissing her with all that he was feeling, making her feel it two brining tears to her eyes.

she wasn't ready to say i love you but she knew it wouldn't be long until she couldn't fight her heart any more.
