"Do I absolutely have to wear this?" Caroline asked her best friend as she looked at herself in Katherine's wall length mirror, regretting agreeing to get ready at Katherine's place. 'Oh borrow something of mine'' she said 'you will look classy and sexy all at once' she said. Ha, yea…ok Kat.
"What's wrong with Tom Ford?" Katherine snapped back, sounding slightly offended "This happens to be one of my favorite dresses!"
"It would be" Caroline said with a smirk "But where's the rest of it?"
"You bitch!" Katherine said trying to fight the smile that was creeping onto her face
"You're the slut with the shirt/dress" Caroline said "Kat, you may be hot enough to wear this…but it's not me"
"What do you want to wear then? Huh?" Katherine said "Oh I know just the thing, hang on"
She disappeared out of her room and down the hall only to return a second later with a king size black silk sheet.
"How about this mother Theresa?" Katherine said "But oh no, if the wind blows too hard it may show your ankle….Too risqué? "
"Shut up" Caroline yelled laughing and launching one of Katherine's pillows at her face
"Go" Katherine shooed her away "Go look through my closet and find something else, but I can guarantee one thing Caroline"
"And what's that 'oh knower of everything' " Caroline asked turning around with her hand on her hip
"You're not going to get a fine British man to ask you out if you're wearing something his mother would wear to afternoon tea" Katherine said with a victorious smirk
Caroline didn't verbally reply, instead she chose the higher road and decided whatever outfit she chose had to match Kathrine's favorite pair of manolo's because she was taking them too"
Twenty minutes later Caroline emerged from Kathrine's closet dressed to the tens. She even shocked her best friend a bit as she always does when she dresses up. Katherine always told her that a face and body like hers shouldn't be cooped up in an office all day, instead on the cover of a magazine or walking a runway.
Caroline chose a black lace dress that seemed see through because of the chiffon layer underneath. It fit Caroline like a glove as did Katherine's red heels. She grimaced at the fact that someone, even someone she loved as much as her bestie, was wearing her favorite heels. Caroline had her hair in loose curls cascading down her back and her make up done smoky with a bright red lipstick to finish it off. Her mood tonight: sultry. She might as well do it right if she was doing this at all.
"Oh I like what you've done here" Katherine said pointing in between her and Caroline. Katherine wore a ivory colored silk mini dress that made her olive skin pop "You're the dark to my light"
"I'm pretty sure it's the other way around but tonight we will pretend" Caroline said holding her arm out only to have Katherine loop her arm through and smirk "Tonight I have a mission and I have never backed down from a mission"
"There's my girl" Katherine said "Let's go, I'm thirsty"
Approaching the club tonight the girls were surprised to see a new bouncer in the crowd of them, holding the clip board in his rich little hands. As soon as he looked up and saw them his smirk grew into a full on naughty smile.
"Caroline!" Kol said happily as her and Katherine walked up to him. He immediately pulled Caroline in for a hug earning a look from her brunette friend "Who did you bring along here?"
"My best friend, Kol this is Katherine. Kat this is Kol. My neighbor's brother" Caroline said looking between the two, noticing Katherine sizing Kol up and vice versa.
"Lovely to meet you darling" Kol said with his trademark smirk "Haven't I seen you on the cover of a couple magazines?"
"Yes you have" Katherine said smiling proudly "And maybe at Paris Fashion Week"
"Well, I'm here with a supermodel and fashion mogul. This calls for drinks" Kol said handing the clip board to the bouncer next to him "Ok Sam, take over. Only let the good looking ones in"
"Oh I like him" Katherine said to Caroline causing Kol to chuckle
"I am single you know" Kol said winking at Katherine causing her to laugh in his face
"Lets get one thing clear pretty boy" Katherine said stopping them in their tracks "You are permanently in the friend zone. My type is more 6'3" wearing a power suit." she was shamelessly searching the club for the older Mikaelson brother.
"well then" Kol said "Throw me to the wolves. You can find Elijah by the VIP section tonight. Come on Care we are getting your pretty ass drunk"
Caroline laughed loudly as Kol pulled her by the hand through the sea of people. Something about Kol's presence made Caroline want to take risks, feel free. His friendship will either be a really good thing for Caroline or it will make her crash and burn.
Three very strong drinks in (made by Kol himself) and Caroline still hadn't seen Klaus. She wanted to just come out and ask Kol but she didn't want him thinking that she was using him. Yes, it may have started out that way but the more time she spends with him…the more she really starts to enjoy him and his company. He is genuinely trying to be her friend, so she can at least give him the same in return. He must have noticed her looking around because he spoke up.
"Am I not enough to entertain you darling, must you look for someone to save you" Kol said with a smirk
"No, shut up. Its not like that at all" Caroline said whacking him in the arm playfully "I just am wondering where Kat is"
"I'm sure Katherine is just fine" Kol said "She most likely found Elijah and is sitting with him discussing the weather or something else boring like my brother"
"You're mean" Caroline said trying not to laugh and failing miserably "I'm sure he's not that bad"
"It depends who you ask" Caroline heard a husky voice behind her say
She spun around on her bar stool to come face to face with none other than the person she was really looking for.
"Hello sweetheart" Klaus said smirking at her.
What the heck, did everyone is this damn family have the same smirk? God, they were inhuman.
"Hi" Caroline said lamely looking to Kol for help. She needed her wing woman but she was too busy with her own Stockholm Syndrome. He must be a master at reading people because thankfully he stepped in.
"Brother" Kol said diverting Klaus' attention "What brings you over here? I thought you were working the back room tonight?"
"I was until I happened to see something in the camera that was worth bringing me out of the cave" Klaus said looking at Caroline with dark eyes. He took a second to look her up and down and really appreciate how delicious she looked tonight.
"Well sorry to burst your bubble, but Caroline is here with me" Kol said smiling to his older brother, knowing that he was getting under his skin. Klaus didn't show interest in women…like ever. Besides the occasional one night stands Klaus was never interested in a relationship. He avoided them at all costs, not willing to lose his money over thinking with the wrong head.
"As friends!" Caroline said quickly causing Klaus' frown to quickly disappear, she couldn't allow her new friend to interfere with what she needed to do
"Way to ruin my fun darling" Kol said shaking his head at Caroline "You just lost one cool point, you can make it up by taking me to lunch tomorrow"
"It's a date" Caroline said smirking, then turning back to Klaus "But I was actually hoping I could talk to you for a moment"
"Sure" Klaus said right away, jumping at the chance to get her alone and really figure her out "Come right this way"
Caroline smiled at Kol before walking off with Klaus to the back of the club. He scanned his car at the lock and the big metal door slid open.
"After you" Klaus said holding out his hand allowing her to enter. The door closed up quickly behind them.
Katherine watched from the booth she was in with Elijah proudly as her best friend weaved that poor man into her web. He never stood a chance.
The office was decorated just as nicely as the rest of the club, only this room's one wall was a huge fish tank with all tropical fish in it. Caroline had to stop for a minute to watch them all and admire their beauty.
"My sister's idea" Klaus said as he watched her "As was almost everything else in the club. She was my unofficial decorator"
"I knew there was a woman's touch to the place. I'd love to meet your sister one day" Caroline said not realizing how it sounded at first
"well play your cards right and maybe you will" Klaus responded with a wink
"Not what I meant" Caroline responded a little too quickly causing Klaus to laugh
"What was it you needed to discuss? Here to berate me a little more?" Klaus asked handing her a drink and sitting on his desk across from where she was comfortably placed in his wing chair.
"Maybe later, but for now I have a favor to ask of you" Caroline said causing him to almost spit out his drink
"You're really trying to ask a favor of me after being so mean?" Klaus asked feigning horror, trying not to laugh.
"Look, you were being rude. I was calling it how I saw it. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings but this is serious" Caroline said defending herself. Klaus quite enjoyed how she blushed when she got flustered over something. He could only imagine how she would blush as he licked a path from her neck to her most sensitive spot.
"Well out with it" Klaus said motioning his hand at her for her to proceed
"My mother, the evil queen, requested an interview from you. By me. I know we haven't got off to the right foot but you went from being rude to me to hitting on me and I kind of got whip lash from the two extremes. So I figured it's the least you owe me, all things considered" Caroline said with a little sly smile
This peaked Klaus' interest. She needed him, he knew he had her.
"Ok" Klaus said casually, taking a sip of his drink and setting it down on his desk
"Ok?" Caroline asked "Just like that?"
"As long as you go on three dates with me" Klaus said with a smirk that made her squeeze her legs together "Give me the chance to show you that I am really not as rude as you think I am"
"I don't know…"Caroline began but was cut off by Klaus
"One a week, I'll space them out for you since I am sure you're busy. But three dates, at least two hours long." Klaus said "I'm sure you are going to want photo's to go along with it so my demands are reasonable. I'll even allow you to scout some of the famous guests to add to your magazine. A bunch of them are good friends now so I can work it out. It would be a win for both of us. You get an amazing article and some extra perks, making your mother…the evil queen right?..very happy. And, I get three dates with you."
"Why would having dates with me be winning for you" Caroline asked "You have a lot of money too, you don't need my money. You have famous friends so you don't need my connections. What more could you possibly want?"
"You." Klaus said. In all seriousness he was taken by her, enchanted one might say. He just couldn't shake her and knew he wouldn't be able to until he had her. The thing that bothered him was that he had a feeling that one night would not be enough with her.
"Well I'm not up for bargain. My time on the other hand, I think I could find the time to give you your date" Caroline said
"Dates. Three dates." Klaus corrected her smiling, he was thrilled that she was agreeing. He really thought he would have to work harder.
"Fine, three dates. But lets get something straight. I will not sleep with you. Ever. So don't even think about trying anything. Also, nothing that involves heights. Clear?" She said not backing down
"Crystal, sweetheart" Klaus said "Besides, I am a gentleman. I would never expect a woman to sleep with me on the first date…unless she wanted to of course"
"You say you're a gentleman?" Caroline laughed at him "Come on before I change my mind. When's a good time to do the interview?"
"I'll be home tomorrow night around 8" Klaus said as he lead her back out to the club, pausing at the door before he opened it "Why don't you come over to my place and we can do the interview there and then set up our first date after. "
"You're really going to make me go through with all three of them aren't you?" Caroline asked shaking her head at him
"A deals a deal Caroline" Klaus said "I can trust you to keep up on your end of the deal right?"
"Well it isn't as if I can hide out from you" Caroline said with a small laugh "Plus I like to stand by my word"
"Another favorable trait you have" Klaus said opening the door "You just keep getting better"
"Alright enough of that" Caroline said turning to him and kissing him on the cheek, shocking the hell out of him "Thank you for this"
She walked away and he couldn't help but reach up and touch his cheek where her lips just were. Why was he feeling like this….what the hell was this woman doing to him? Klaus shook his head. He couldn't allow himself to get too caught up in the beautiful blonde. He kept telling himself that he would have his fun with her and be done. Just like the rest of them. He also knew just how wrong he was.
