It was nearly 7:00, and Elena was helping Caroline with the finishing touches on her outfit, hair and makeup. "Elena,"

"What?" Elena asked out of the side of her mouth, as she held a hair clip in between her teeth.

"Do you think he hates me?"

"Who?"

"Damon."

Elena let out a heavy sigh, and turned Caroline so that she faced her. "I think he's upset with you, and really hurting. I mean, you did tell him you love Klaus, and this whole time, he spent loving you." She shrugged, giving a weak smile. "To answer your question though, I don't think he hates you."

"Oh." Was Caroline's only response.

"Alright, you're done." Elena said, turning Caroline so that she faced the mirror.

A small gasp could be heard through out the spacious bathroom, "Oh my god, Elena. I look gorgeous!" Caroline exclaimed as she turned to face her friend. "Thank you!" she said, facing the mirror again. Caroline wore a black dress that went down to mid-thigh, strapless, her hair curled, make-up subtle yet easily seen.

"No problem." Elena said.

"You look beautiful." Came a male voice.

Both women turned their heads towards the door where Damon now stood, leaned against the door frame. "Damon," Caroline said softly, her gaze cast at the ground. Elena quietly excused herself from the room, and headed downstairs.

"You're missing one thing though." Damon said, as he walked into the bathroom and behind Caroline. Moving her hair to the side, Damon pulled something out of his pocket and draped it around her neck, clasping it in the back.

"It's…beautiful." Caroline whispered softly, looking at the beautiful necklace as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Beautiful necklace, for a beautiful girl."

"Thank you." Caroline said, to which earned her a nod.

"Listen, Damon, can we please just talk about what happened yester-"

"You're date's here." Damon interjected. "Come on, I'll walk you downstairs." He said, holding his arm out for her. She sighed but took his arm and the two walked downstairs.

Arriving downstairs moments later, Caroline saw Elena and Stefan sitting in the parlor, and at the door stood Klaus. She noted how he watched herself and Damon like a hawk. "You look magnificent." He commented, as Caroline walked towards him.

"Thank you." She responded softly, glancing at Damon.

"Well, have fun." Damon said, his voice tight, as he fought back the jealousy raging inside him.

"Don't worry about that, we will." Klaus said, as he gently took Caroline by the hand and led her outside.

He wouldn't tell her where they were going, but from what Caroline could tell as she looked out the window was that it wasn't close to Mystic Falls. On the outskirts of the town. "Where are we going?" she asked softly, for about the fifth time that night.

"Just wait and see. Patience is a virtue." He said, taking a glance at her.

"Fine," she said crossing her arms over her chest with a huff. Klaus let out a light chuckle and smirked, continuing to drive on. Fifteen minutes later he pulled up into a parking lot, and helped her out of the vehicle. "Here we are."

Caroline raised a brow at the name of the place, "amour au sein de?" she asked. He shook his head and a small grin came onto his face.

"It means Love Within, in English. It's really a lovely restaurant." He said as they walked inside.

"Oh." Caroline said.

They were seated in no time, candles burned softly, and music floated through the speakers. The current song was I Can't Make You Love Me, the Adele version. They had both ordered, and now were eating and having a light conversation.

"So, Caroline, I do hope you're enjoying yourself?"

"Hm?" Caroline asked, looking up. "Oh, yeah. The place is really nice."

"Lighten up, love. I know you and Damon just got into a bit of an argument and al-"

"How do you know?" she fired at him.

"A little birdie told me."

"Stop with the bull."

"It may or may not have been talked about with Elena before you came downstairs."

For some reason, Caroline laughed. "I'm sorry," she said through her fit of giggles.

"What?" Klaus asked, confusion a clear sign on his face.

"The way you said that, it made me laugh." She said, her laughter finally settling.

"Well, I'm glad that I can entertain." He smirked.

An hour or so later, they arrived back at the Salvatore home. Klaus walked her to the door, and they stood on the porch. "Thank you, for tonight. I had fun." Caroline said.

"Oh, your certainly welcome." Klaus responded.

Her hand rest on the doorknob, but she knew what was coming next. "I know, you want to know what my answer is." She said softly.

"Very much so, indeed."

She turned to face him, taking one long stride so that they were inches apart, face to face. "Does this answer any doubts you may have?" she asked softly, before kissing him. It took him a moment to realize what was going on before he quickly kissed back, pulling away to look at her.

"Who said I ever had any doubt?" he said with a small smirk.

"Goodnight, Klaus." Caroline said, heading inside the house and shutting the door behind her.

"Goodnight, Caroline." He whispered, after she'd gone inside. He wasn't sure how or when she'd fallen for him. All that mattered at the moment was that she returned the feelings he had.

Caroline entered the house, the lights were off and there seemed to be an eery silence.

"Stefan? Elena?" she called out. "Damon?"

Nothing.

Suddenly she heard a loud groan . Flashing over to where she heard the noise she found Damon in the kitchen.

"What the hell happened here?" she asked, her eyes alight with curiosity.

Damon turned to look over at her, and rolled up his sleeve, exposing a nasty looking bite. " When I left the other day, Klaus's crazy hybrids bit me."

"What? Damon their bites can kil-"

"I know." He said, pausing to look up at her. "I'm dying, Caroline."

A/N: Sooo...? What'd you guys think? Like it? Hate it? Let me know. :3
