Chapter Four – 'I want you, Nik.'
"Wake up, Rebekah…" A familiar sound came from the back of her head.
Rebekah furrowed her eyebrows, and fluttered her eyes open.
Stefan stood there, admiring her looks.
"Morning Beks.. Anyways, Come on, we gotta shop, remember?" Stefan laughed, helping her up.
Rebekah groaned.
"Fine.. I'll get dressed." Rebekah said, walking over to her closet and grabbing some clothes.
"Talk to me while I'm in the closet will you?" Rebekah flashed a smile.
"Why don't you just change here?" Stefan smirked, but then realized what he just said and turned red.
Rebekah turned red too, and did not reply.
"I-I'm sorry," Stefan said, clearing his throat.
Rebekah laughed, "Perverted much," She grinned and took her clothes.
She went into her closet, not entirely closing the door so they could talk, despite knowing that he could hear clearly even if the door was closed.
But she was playful and very naughty, so she left it open.
She started to take off her nightgown, leaving her in her black lace lingerie.
Since the door was left open, Stefan could easily see what was going on inside.
He tried so much to contain his lust, but in the end he gave up and took a peek at Rebekah's gorgeous body.
He inhaled, taking in a lot of air and the image of her body, plus a lot of milky flesh.
Rebekah could feel his stares, and turned around.
"Seriously, Stefan." She giggled.
Stefan and his vampire speed flashed at Rebekah, pushing her against the wall.
"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now," Stefan said.
Rebekah smirked.
"You're gonna have to earn it then. Consider this my revenge for picking Elena over me." Rebekah said cheekily, and put on her clothes.
She then walked away from her closet, leaving a shocked Stefan in the closet.
Rebekah sat in front of her vanity, looking at her messy hair.
"Ugh, stupid hair." She cursed, but suddenly Stefan came up to her.
He took her brush and started to brush her hair, and soon it began to settle in place and Rebekah looked amazing.
"Come on, Let's go." Stefan smiled.
Rebekah grabbed her purse and then went downstairs.
"Good Morning, Elijah." Caroline smiled, settling her purse down on the couch.
"Good Morning to you too, Caroline." Elijah said, looking at his reflection on the mirror.
"Where's Klaus?" Caroline asked.
"He's upstairs, I presume. Can you fetch him please?" Elijah smiled kindly, and Caroline nodded.
With speed, she dashed upstairs and knocked on the door.
She came inside, finding that the room was empty.
She saw a love letter.
It said in front that it was from Camille.
She sighed, hesitating to read it.
"It's rude to pry, love." Klaus appeared from the back.
Caroline immediately turned around and gasped at the shirtless and dripping wet Klaus. She rolled her eyes, and turned away.
"Come on, let's go." She said weakly and headed for the door.
Klaus sensed that something was wrong and grabbed her arm.
"What's wrong Caroline?" Klaus asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Caroline denied, shaking in his grasp.
"Tell me what's upsetting you, Caroline." Klaus said, infuriated.
Caroline gazed into his eyes for a moment, then she suddenly broke into tears.
"It was all a lie wasn't it?" Caroline sobbed.
Klaus looked confused, and bent over.
"All those things you said to me back in Mystic Falls… all those promises you made… None of them were true were they?" Caroline scowled.
"Caroline love, what made you think like that?" Klaus asked.
"Well, you slept with Hayley and that Camille girl sends love letters to you, not to mention you have Juliet now." Caroline said weakly.
Klaus immediately felt a pang of guilt, looking at her.
"They all mean nothing to me," Klaus growled.
"Nothing? Really? Is Azalea nothing? Are those love letters just nothing? Something for you to screw around with?! You don't love me anymore Klaus, you're with Juliet. What the hell is wrong with you?! I can't bel-" She was about to say something else, but she got cut off by his lips, that brushed against hers.
The feeling of his lips brushing her against her was amazing, and Caroline enjoyed it.
She really really enjoyed it.
Klaus began sucking on her earlobe, and she let out a soft moan.
She tilted her head back, enjoying the moment.
Klaus' lips once again found hers, and they started making out.
"Nik, what the bloody hell is taking you so – Oh my bloody hell." Rebekah interrupted, walking in on them, but immediately walked out of the room after what she saw.
Caroline pulled away, out of breath, and blushed a crimson red color.
Klaus smirked at Caroline, knowing she enjoyed.
"Come on love, let's get down." Klaus smiled, licking his lips that were now pink.
Caroline nodded. "Yeah, yeah let's go." She said and they both got down.
They were all in the shop for hours, draining Klaus' money.
They bought nearly the whole shop, for new wallpapers, curtains, couches, and drawers and what not.
"Are we even done yet," Klaus surprisingly whined.
The girls smirked.
"Nope. Not just yet." They all laughed.
Stefan and Elijah sighed, slumping back into their seats.
They wondered how Davina and Kol were doing with Azalea.
Klaus picked up his phone and dialed Kol's number.
"Kol?"
"Brother," Kol greeted back.
"How's the shopping going?" Klaus asked.
"Pretty good, we already got a few stuff, and they're being sent to the mansion later. Right now we're heading to another store, looking for her bedding. We also got a lot of photo frames." Kol said, but Klaus could tell that he was smiling at the other end.
"Photo frames? What for?" Klaus asked, obviously confused.
"I don't know either, the thing is we got A LOT, and the munchkin won't tell us what they're for. Her and Davina are picking out a shelf and more frames now, and she already got like, 20 thousand frames." Kol said, informing Klaus about his daughter.
"Text me your whereabouts later. Don't tell her we are coming to surprise her, and in the meantime, you should probably get her a camera or something, she really likes those. She got a polaroid for Christmas two years ago but sadly it broke, thanks to Rebekah's temper." Klaus glared.
"Sure thing, brother, and yes, Azalea already got a new camera. For free, even. I don't know how she manages to do that, but all men and women at any age seem to fall for her tricks. She just smiles and stands there, twirls her hair, looking at the thing she wants, with a very sad facial expression and the person at the cashier would just look at her, and then they'll just snap and offer Azalea something even bigger, for free. Your kid is a genius, Nik." Kol laughed, making Klaus smile too.
"What can I say? She is my child." He laughed.
"Well, I gotta go. Azalea wants to get a new photo printer and and an iPad. See you later." Kol said, then the line went dead.
"FINALLY!" Caroline and Rebekah smiled, placing the small furniture in the Limo's storage compartment.
It 3:30 in the afternoon, and they just finished shopping.
They were headed to the French Quarter, to meet Davina, Kol and Azalea.
When they got there, Azalea ran to Hayley and Klaus first, followed by Caroline, and then squealed "Auntie Bekah, Uncle Stefan!" very loudly.
"Hey Azalea, what did you get?" Rebekah asked, lifting the little girl in her hands.
"I got a lot of things, Auntie Bekah. And I got all of you something too." She smiled sweetly.
"What's that?" Rebekah laughed.
"We'll wait until we get home." Azalea smirked.
After surprising her Daddy and Mommy with a bottle of red wine that Kol picked out, Azalea went to Caroline's room. She gave her a small rose pendant, that had her initial engraved on it.
And last but not least, Auntie Bekah and Uncle Stefan.
When she stepped into Rebekah's room, she was asleep, with Stefan. Stefan's arm was securely around her waist.
Surprisingly, Azalea made no noise at all, and managed to put the gift on the table that said 'Auntie Bekah and Uncle Stefan' on it.
She smiled when she saw the both asleep, but decided not to disturb them and tiptoe out of the room.
"Where is Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Stefan, love?" Klaus smiled as Azalea joined him in the living room.
"They is upstairs sleeping togetha, Daddy." Azalea smiled back, looking at her Dad.
"I love you Daddy." Azalea said sweetly, and hugged Klaus.
Klaus' expression softened, and put an arm over his daughter protectively, and kissed her forehead.
"I love you too sweetheart." He smiled.
"Do you want to do something?" Klaus asked his daughter who was quietly sitting on his lap.
"Hm… let's read something. Can you read me a few quotes from Shakespeare?" Azalea asked, her soft curls falling on her back.
Klaus nodded and let out a small chuckle, he loved the fact that his daughter took an interest in reading like he did.
"Come on, come with Daddy to the library, Azalea." Klaus said as his daughter took his hand.
They opened the door to the library, and Klaus made Azalea wait for him on one of the couches.
He took out the book, and then joined Azalea on the couch.
He let Azalea sit on his lap.
Klaus started reading a few quotes by William Shakespeare.
"Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds."
"Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him."
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
Azalea loved listening to her Father read, and Klaus continued to read until eventually she fell asleep oh his shoulder.
Klaus smiled, and stroked his daugther's hair.
He got up and carried her, walking out of the library.
As they went out, they came across Hayley and Caroline.
"Let me guess, Azalea fell asleep while listening to Shakespeare?" Hayley smiled.
Klaus nodded.
"Of course, What else." He laughed.
"Wait what? She's 4 and she listens to Shakespeare?" Caroline said, bewildered as Klaus and Hayley nodded.
"Woa." Caroline said, stepping back.
They both laughed, and then the three of them agreed to go to Azalea's room to place her there.
As Klaus laid her on her bed, Azalea shuffled.
But she finally laid peacefully on her bed.
The furniture arrived, and Stefan help Klaus put it inside and wait for the girls to wake up.
Stefan went up to Rebekah's room, only to fine Rebekah in the shower, so he went and sat down.
He glanced at the table beside him, and there was a box that had his name and Rebekah's on it.
Curious, he took it and opened it, only to fine two golden necklaces.
One was shaped like a key, and the other one was a heart-shaped locket, that said 'He who holds the key can unlock my heart.'
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, and opened the locket. There were pictures.
Pictures of Stefan and Rebekah… when they were sleeping. And the other one was when Stefan hugged Rebekah.
Confused of how Azalea managed to get a hold of the pictures, he frowned.
He then closed the locket and realized that there were two diamonds attached to them.
He sighed, placing the box in his pocket.
Just then, Rebekah came out, fully dressed.
"Stefan?" She asked.
"Oh hey! R-Rebekah," He smiled nervously.
"What's wrong?" She smiled, unsure.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all." Stefan stuttered as Rebekah came closer.
"I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan. What are you hiding from me?" Rebekah asked, clearly unhappy.
"Um, the furniture is here!" Stefan said clumsily, hiding the box behind him.
"Good. But you know that's not the complete truth Stefan. What is it?" Rebekah asked, looking down at him.
Stefan sighed, feeling guilty for lying to Rebekah.
"Azalea left this for us." He said, showing Rebekah the necklaces.
Rebekah gasped, examining them.
"It's beautiful," Rebekah said and gave a slight smile.
Stefan looked up at her with a questioning look.
"Really?" He said.
"Yes really," Rebekah smiled.
Just then, a small knock was heard on the door.
Azalea then came in, walking to Stefan and Rebekah.
"Hi." She smiled cheekily.
"Hello Azalea, thank you for your necklaces. They were lovely," Rebekah grinned, and Azalea smiled.
"Sure thing Aunt Bekah, now, promise me, you guys will never lose the necklace and will keep it on no matter what the circumstances," Azalea said, holding out her pinkie.
The two sighed, and pinkie promised with Azalea.
"Yay!" She laughed, making Stefan and Rebekah laugh too.
The two put the necklaces on, and smiled as it dangled over their necks.
There was another knock on the door, and Serafine came in.
"Mr Stefan, Ms Rebekah, Miss Azalea, all three of you overslept and missed dinner. Please do come down, your food is getting cold." Serafine smiled and Rebekah smiled and thanked her.
They went down to the dining room and started to dig in.
Meanwhile…
"Admit it, love. You enjoyed what happened between us earlier." Klaus smirked, Caroline turning red.
"N-No! I do not!" She said, disgusted.
Klaus just smiled cheekily and sat on his bed, shirtless.
Caroline walked up to him, and looked at the shirtless Klaus.
"Go put on a shirt, Niklaus!" Caroline hissed, looking away from his direction.
Inside, she was begging for his affections and she thought that he smelled good.
Klaus let out a small chuckle.
"No."
Caroline groaned, throwing her head back.
"So, If my sources are correct you and that Lockwood wolf broke up?" Klaus said, going into an uneasy subject.
She slowly nodded.
"I'm sorry, love." Klaus said sympathetically, getting closer to her.
"It's totally fine, Klaus. In fact, I'm glad I actually broke up with him." Caroline sighed.
Klaus smiled at her, and rubbed her back.
After the three had dinner, they all went upstairs to go sleep.
"Stefan," Rebekah murmured.
"Hm?" Stefan replied, looking up.
"Can you please… accompany me? I don't want to be alone tonight," Rebekah explained, looking down in embarrassment.
"Sure, I'll changed and head towards your room in a while," Stefan smiled.
Rebekah nodded and smiled decently.
Rebekah waited in her room, and when a knock was heard on her door, she thought it was Stefan.
Boy, was she wrong.
It was Caroline.
"Oh my God, Rebekah oh my God, Bekah!" Caroline yelped, fidgeting.
"What's up, Care?" Rebekah asked, sitting on her bed along with her fellow blonde.
"No, no no no no." Caroline said, and then Stefan entered.
"H-Hey Care," Stefan said, awkwardly smiling.
"Stefan. Great. I need both your help." Caroline said, still freaking out.
Stefan said down, listening.
"Oh My God, I can't believe I did that." Caroline yelled, throwing her hands up in frustration.
"Did what exactly, Care?" Stefan asked.
"I-I, Ok fine! I kissed Klaus!" Caroline exclaimed, still freaking out.
"WHAT?" Stefan yelped, astonished.
"Kissed?" Rebekah said, mocking her.
"Okay! I-I might have, might have made out with him. But only for a little while!" Caroline yelled.
"TOO MUCH INFORMATION, CAROLINE!" Rebekah groaned, stuffing her face with her pillow.
Stefan laughed, and looked at her sympathetically.
They all knew what 'the look' was.
It was one of Caroline's many looks, and this one was the 'can-i-please-sleep-with-you-guys-im-too-paranoid-at-the-moment' look.
"Yes, Caroline, you can share the bed with us." Rebekah and Stefan laughed.
"Wait, us? You guys sleep together?" Caroline asked, shocked.
Both turned red, and looked down in embarrassment.
"Have you guys slept together?" Caroline said.
"No!" They both yelled at the same time, causing Caroline to giggle.
"But you did in the 20's?" She questioned, making them turn even redder.
They slowly nodded.
"Wow, So Azalea was right about you guys…" Caroline laughed, followed by a gasp afterwards.
"What did she say to you?" Rebekah asked, curious.
"Well about you guys always falling asleep together… and the way you act around each other. That explains her questions," Caroline laughed, causing Rebekah's mouth to hang open and Stefan furrowed his eyebrows.
"Questions?" Stefan said.
"Yep, she asked Hayley and I if you guys dated in the past or were dating." Caroline giggled.
Rebekah awkwardly smiled.
"Let's get some sleep, shall we." She said awkwardly and then laid on her pillow.
Stefan laid his head on one of the pillows, inhaling her scent.
The three eventually fell asleep.
Or, at least two of them were sleeping.
Caroline was fully awake, not being able to rid her mind of what happened earlier in the morning.
He tasted great.
It was a bliss, no one had even kissed her like that.
The more she thought of it, the more she wanted to have his lips on hers.
Sighing, she flashed out of Rebekah's room.
She found her legs taking her to a place, and guess where she ended up at.
She was in front of her own room.
Yeah, right. Like that would happen. Hell no.
She was at Klaus' room.
She silently knocked on the door, and came in.
Almost immediately, Klaus jumped and sat up, alert to his surroundings.
"It's just me," Caroline breathed, and Klaus sat back down.
"It's four in the morning, Caroline. Tell me, what brings you to my bedroom?" Klaus smirked.
He knew what she wanted; She wanted more of him. But no, he wasn't going to give himself to her just yet.
"I-I," Caroline stuttered, biting her lip, not knowing what to say.
Klaus flashed and pushed her against the wall, trapping her body.
"Tell me love, what's going on?" He breathed, his face coming closer to hers.
Caroline bit her lip, trying to refrain herself from pulling him to her and just kissing him for the rest of the night.
She looked at his pink full lips, and her breath caught.
He grinded his body against hers, making her shiver.
Caroline yelped as his face got closer to hers, and they stared into each others' eyes.
Klaus leaned in, and so did she, but before she could kiss Prince Charming, he pulled away and smirked.
"God! You are so full of yourself!" Caroline said, upset.
She started walking towards the door, but Klaus grabbed her wrist.
"What exactly do you want, love?" Klaus smirked.
"Goddammit! Fine! I want you, Nik. I want you." She said, tears pouring down her rosy cheeks.
It took a moment for everything to sink in for Klaus, and he remained silent for a while.
Caroline walked away, still stressed out.
Klaus grabbed her by the wrist, and pulled her back.
Their bodies were on each other, and before she could do anything, he placed a small kiss on her lips, before pulling away.
"Stay," He said, leading her towards his bed.
Caroline nodded, and got below the covers, laying down beside him.
She inhaled his scent, which smelled amazing.
She slightly smiled, and he secured his arm over her waist.
The world started to spin and after that, her vision blacked out.
