I was dancing with the devil
I was singing dirty songs
Pulling whiskey from the bottle
'Till the early break of dawn
Oh my gorgeous Arizona
Here's to gettin' caught with you
I was runnin' with the wolves
I was howlin' at the moon
-The Maine

Chapter 4 – 'We were a great love story, one of the best but every book has to end'
Esme made her way over to Klaus's house, god knows what was going through her mind but she saw something in Klaus. Something she didn't see in him before and she wanted to explore that. She walked in and up to his room, he was standing looking out his window, he turned to look at her, shock and happiness running through his eyes.
"You stayed?" he said with a big grin on his face, she nodded.
"I'm giving you a chance, please don't make me regret it" Esme whispered.
"Thank you" Klaus held her hand and hugged her.
"You know this doesn't mean we're together" Esme told him smiling.
"Of course not, nothing is that easy with you" Klaus said back rolling his eyes. "Let me take you on a date?" he asked.
"A date, the big bad hybrid wants to take me on a date. I don't really know what to say" Esme teased. "Sure pick me up tomorrow night" Esme told him giving him a wink and left.
"So you and Nik are together now?" Rebekah asked Esme on her way out.
"I wouldn't say we're together but I think I like him" Esme told Rebekah. "Are you okay with that?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Rebekah asked her.
"Because they are your brothers. Look Bekah I know me and you haven't been the closest since I got back but we were back in 1200's and I've missed you so much" Esme told her.
"I've missed you too!" Rebekah told her, the blond original engulfed Esme in a hug, making Esme giggle.
"And I think you and Nik are pretty cute together but if you play either of my brothers you will have me to deal with" Rebekah said seriously.
"Completely understood."
"So I will come over and fix your hair and what you are wearing tomorrow before your date" Rebekah told her.
"Sounds perfect, because I am freaking out!"
-x-
"Wait so you're going on a date with the person we are trying to kill" Damon said.
"Uh huh" Esme replied not really listening to him.
"Actually this is perfect, we have an insider" Damon thought, Esme had him pinned up against the wall in seconds, wrapping her hands around his throat.
"I don't think so, I am no spy" she hissed.
"Touchy" Damon said rubbing his throat. "You're lucky I don't have time to be pissed about this."
"Damon do you really think you scare me, I'm triple your age" Esme said in a bored tone.
"I've dealt with people a lot older honey."
-x-
"It would help of I had any idea what so ever what we were doing!" Esme complained to Rebekah, whilst the blonde original searched through all of Esme's clothes.
"Why don't we go half and half? Dress you fancy enough to not look like a bum in a fancy restaurant but casual enough that you don't stick out like a sore thumb in a cinema or the grill. Not that I think Nik would dare take you either of these places when he is clearly trying to impress you!" Rebekah said confidently.
Rebekah got to work on Esme's hair, taming the wild curls into soft waves. Her make-up was minimal, a bit of mascara and lip-gloss. Then for what she was wearing, Rebekah chose a dress that came up to her neck in buttons, it came in slightly at her waist but floated down naturally to above her knees. The dress was baby blue, paired with dark grey ballet flats.
"So how have you been Bekah?" Esme's made conversation as Bekah did Esme's hair.
"I've been better" Rebekah said dryly. "That doppelganger seems to just soak up everyone's attention around here. She has both Salvatore's wrapped round her finger, Elijah is friendly with her and Niklaus watches over her because she is his precious doppelganger. Then matt still dotes after her."
"She isn't too bad Bekah. I spent a day with her and as much as I wanted to hate her she is just one of those people" Esme's said.
"Oh I can still do a pretty good job of hating her enough for everyone" Rebekah said angrily. "And you're meant to be on my side" she whined.
"I'm not saying I love her just that she isn't that bad" Esme reasoned.
"So why did Klaus dagger you?" Esme questioned.
"The same reason he ended up daggering any of us, we found someone so no longer depended on him, he got scared I was going to leave him" Rebekah told her.
"Who was it?"
"Stefan Salvatore."
"I did not see that one coming" Esme commented.
"Oh well past is the past."
The doorbell rang interrupting the two's conversation.
"That will be him" Esme said nervously.
"Have fun" Bekah teased and was gone leaving Esme in an empty room. Esme made her way down to the door to answer it. As expected Klaus stood there smiling.
"You ready love?" Esme nodded accepting his hand.
"Where are we going?" Esme asked him. They had driven to a spot just outside a woods and walked into the woods.
"Just here" Klaus said.
It was beautiful, like a place in a fairy-tale. A huge wild meadow stretched across the land being lit by the moonlight. The land ended being met by the surface of a lake that reflected the half-moon in its waters. Esme turned back to Klaus who had lain out a blanket and had a bottle of red wine in his hands along with two glasses. He patted the space next to him and Esme easily complied.
"I've got to say this was not what I was expecting" Esme told him, he smiled triumphantly. "How do you even know about this place?"
"I used to come here when I was human, it is the one place that has not changed all these years, hasn't been touched and ruined by man" Klaus told her looking around. He lay down on the blanket and Esme lay next to him, he had an arm around her shoulders and the two looked up at the stars.
"You should show this to people more often" Esme said.
"Here?" Klaus asked confused.
"No not here, I meant you, this part of you, the kind, softer side of you. You never know you might even gain a few friends" Esme said shockingly giggling.
"But then I lose the terrifying big bad hybrid edge" he teased.
"I don't like that part" Esme told him. "Let's play 21 questions" Esme said changing the subject.
"What in god's name is that?" Klaus asked
"We ask each other questions and the other has to answer" Esme informed.
"Okay favourite film?" Klaus asked starting off easy.
"Titanic or the notebook" Klaus looked at her disgusted and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"What is your favourite colour?" Esme asked him.
"Black."
"Why am I not surprised?" the two went along asking simple questions but after a while they became more serious.
"Why were you so obsessed with breaking this curse?"
"It was a lot to do with the power, knowing I was indestructible, people feared me. But also because it is a part of me and I felt without it I wasn't completely whole, I wasn't living up to the full potential that I had" Klaus answered. "Why did you stay and not leave with Kol now you know everything that has happened?"
"Me and Kol were perfect for each other back then and it was amazing whilst it lasted. Even though I have spent over a century wishing we still has that. I guess when it came down to getting it back I knew it wouldn't be the same. I didn't want to ruin that amazing image and memories we had together. We were a great love story, one of the best but every book has to end, we were a short story, not made to be a novel. Getting back together would never have worked out for either of us. He has just come into this world and has had no chance to explore it and I have changed from the innocent girl he used to know. I'm happier it ending now than wasting time trying to make it work. And I guess a part of me is scared to let that vulnerable part of me open again to him, I don't want to become that girl I was with him. "
"Do you want to head back?" Klaus asked her, she nodded, Klaus stood up offering her a hand to help her stand.
She took it and he pulled her up, their chests were almost touching, Esme looked up in to his eyes which were flickering from her lips to her eyes. In seconds his lips were on hers. There was no doubt Klaus was a good kissed but something about the kiss wasn't just right, it didn't feel right like it should do. Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind, Esme kissed him back deepening the kiss. She ran her hand through his hair and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her even closer to him.

Klaus and Esme were parked outside the Salvatore boarding house.
"Stay tonight, with me?" Klaus asked her.
"I don't think so" Esme replied, she kissed him on the cheek and opened the car door. She walked around to his side of the car leaning against his open window.
"Thank you for tonight; I had a really good time."
Don't worry it won't be all lovely dovey for long! ;D
Preview of Chapter 5 - 'I need to get my mind off of it or wallow in pity of myself'
"Screw you" Esme hissed. "You wanna argue Klaus fine we will argue. That ring still means something to me! I have let Kol go Klaus and I am trying to be with you and giving you a chance like you asked but those feelings don't just fly away. That ring is important to me because it reminds me of good times!"
"You haven't let Kol go" Klaus scoffed. "If you had let him go, you wouldn't still keep the ring. You wouldn't still have his shirt in the bottom of your wardrobe; you wouldn't be looking for any distraction to keep your mind off him."
