Chapter: 7

First I want to thank each one of you guys for reading my story. Thanks a lot.

Late! Late! I'm 35 minutes late and I hope Aunt Jenna won't be mad at me .I'm now sitting in the cab and starring at night sky, patiently waiting for my place for arrive.

I reach the Paramount hotel and enter into the lobby. The lobby was beautiful arranged with old painting and the lights are dim. I make my way to the reception area which is in backyard.

The backyard was neatly decorated with lilies; tables are arranged adjust to one another with of minimum five seats. Each table has center flowers of different kinds. Wow the parents of bride and groom must be rich to spend money in these kinds of stuff.

I make my way to catering unit and I smile at everyone on my way. I reach at the unit; I spotted Aunt Jenna who is giving seriously instruction to the workers.

"Hi, Jenna, you look so good and I'm so sorry?"

"Oh, it's ok care, don't worry. We manage so far and you look stunning by the way."

"Thanks it's my new dress and what shall I do for you?"

"Oh, just arrange these cupcakes in the table and I will be back" Jenna left and I started to arrange the cupcakes. I arrange them from bigger to smaller ones and I got some crème on my finger and I lick them.

I have this feeling that someone is staring at me. When I look up I gaped that a gorgeous and smoking hot guy is staring at me with open mouth. I don't what to do; I give him a nervous smile.

He makes his way towards me and first time in my 21 years, my heart is pounding and my lips went dry. When he comes closer, I have this magnetic feel which pulls me towards him.

"Hello, sweetheart" oh god, he has most incredible British accent and I want to run and hide.

I give a slit smile and reply "hello, sir".

"My name is nikluas mikealson and you look gorgeous".

"Hi, my name is Caroline Forbes. It's nice to meet you".

"So, tell me Caroline what brings you here?"

"Um, I work as cater for this evening" I have this feeling that I have seen him somewhere. He has lovely lips and whenever I looked at it, my mouth went dry. He is tall with sexy blond hair with deep ocean blue eyes. He has slim figure and he must be working out because size of his abs.

"Are you a full time cater Caroline?"

"Hmm, no, uh, my friend is a cater who is full time catering, I just do some help occasionally".

"Oh, then what you do for living?"

"I…I'm looking for job as assistant editor in publishing house."

"Publishing house ah, so you must be English major?"

"Yeah, I love reading books".

"Oh, what are the things you love to do then?"

When I'm about to answer Aunt Jenna come towards me. I was standing at the entrance of the cater unit and when she passed us, she didn't smile at me. So I excuse myself and went towards her.

I enter into the catering unit and I spot aunt Jenna at the corner of the unit. Her face looks fluffy, so I went near her.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"Oh, care, no, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Have you finished with cupcake?"

"Yeah, I finished that. Hey tell me what's going on? And why are you looking upset?"

"Care, you know Vic right?"

"Yeah, I know your asshole ex-boyfriend. What about him?"

"He is here and he wants some money. Oh, cares I don't know what do?"

"Why he is here? And why he wants money from you?"

"I don't know. He said if I didn't give money, he threatens me to hurt Jeremy and he wills ruin my carrier?"

I hug her and try to calm her. "Hey, I don't worry about that. I will take care of him"

I went to out the unit to search him in the hostel. I spotted him near the hotel bar. He is shouting at the bartender. He must in his 5 or 6 drink and going near him at this stage alone is risk.

Vic Thomas Richard, 28 years old, his father is a business man. But Vic is full time drinker and regular drug user. He met Aunt Jenna in his father's birthday party where aunt Jenna works as assistant cater. At the time he looks like completely gentleman.

One thing leads to another and they started dating. First few months he was so good to her and he even babysit Jeremy for her. Later on he has some financial problems and his behavior changes rapidly.

His addiction towards drinks and drugs increases. He didn't listen to anyone and he starts to abuse Jenna. He physically abuses her every day. But Jenna didn't leave him because she loved him and hope he may change some day.

This thing goes on and on for longer time. One day when Jenna was not home, he tries to misbehave with Elena and Jenna saw this and breakup with him immediately.

But he didn't leave her and he try to contact her. Aunt Jenna got restraining order against him. Then he didn't disturb her. After some time she tells that he is in rehab.

This is her darkest secret and she suffers a lot from that relationship. But she come out it and mange her life and carrier in good way. She helped us and teaches to learn something useful for our life.

I went in search for Klaus; he looks kind of good guy. May be he can help us in Jenna situation. I search for him and I found him near the bar with a group of men. He is animatedly talking to some men and they are all laughing.

I went near them and hoping for something good to happen. One of the guys sees me and allots the others. I have a nervous smile and move closer towards them.

"Um, Klaus. Can I speak with you alone for few minutes?"

"Um, who is this hot blond nik?"

"Shut up, kol. It's none of your business".

"Who is this secret blond chick you keep from us?" dark hair color guy asked Klaus and he reply with back off stare.

He makes me move from the gang and near the fountain. I feel so nervous to ask for help. I know this guy for what 30 minutes, I don't know if I should ask him or not.

"Caroline, what wrong?"

"ah,um, Klaus I don't know if I should ask you this. Can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"I know this guy and he is making trouble in the hotel bar. And he is threatening to ruin my business today. So can you help us?"

"Ok, who is this guy? Is he is your boyfriend?"

"No, no. he is not. He is my boss's ex and he is threatening her to ruin her carrier."

"Oh, your boss's ex ah. So is your duty too to deal with your boss's exes?"

"No, it's not like that. My boss Jenna is my best friend's aunt and she is one of my families too. I want to help her."

"Ok, lead my way".

With that I and Klaus make our way towards Vic. I'm praying this may not end in disaster. When we reach he is sitting at the bar
and shouting at him.

"Is that guy over there Caroline?" He pointed his fingers towards him. I just nod my head and he makes his way towards him.

He put his hands on Vic shoulder and Vic turn towards him. Vic shouted at him and I'm scared that Vic may hurt Klaus. Klaus speak with calm tone and say something. Vic grins towards me and walk away.

What the hell has just happen? Few minutes before Vic were in killer mood but now he is smiling happily and get out of the hotel. Klaus come towards me. I just stare at him with open mouth.

"What just happen? How did you calm him?"

He replies with calm smile that "he just needs some money. So I offer him that and I told him to back off from you and your friend?"

"But how did he accept that and how much did you pay him?"

"He just accepts my offer and that's all. Come on its late, we should get back to the function".

"Klaus don't be coy and tell me what did you tell him and how much did you pay him?"

"Ok, don't freak out. I pay him 10,000 dollars plus I tell him to come to me whenever he needs money and not to disturb you?"

My mouth literally hit the floor and I stare at him blankly. Why would anyone do that? I just can't say anything.

"But, Klaus, why did you do that? I just want you to speak with him".

"Do you really want to know why I gave him the money?"

"Yes"

"Caroline Forbes, I really like you. I want to spend some time with you. And I really love to go on date with you".

What? What just he said. I just stare at him and I feel num. I don't know what to say to him. This is not new to me. Guys ask me date all the time. But I'm not interested in those guys. I like Klaus and I don't think it will be good idea to date the guy like Klaus.

Dating rich guys is not good idea and it will always ends in disaster. But Klaus seems different guy. He is doesn't strike like normal guy.

This is the time I feel the connection and I really like Klaus. He is the only guy who makes my head to turn toward him. But I'm afraid that he may hurt me and I end up like Aunt Jenna. First when I see Vic, I didn't think he will become such a monster. He is all nice, charming and funny. This is what Aunt Jenna relationship thought us to never ever date rich guys.

Klaus is nervous waiting for my answer and just standing before him .I don't know what to say, time is running. Aunt Jenna come out and calls me. I just thank him for saving me from this.

"Ok, thanks Klaus for your help. And it's really nice to meet you. Bye Klaus, see you again".

I just tell him and walk away and didn't hear his reply. I walk fast and he calls after me. I just literally run towards catering unit and Jenna was packing her things. Thank god, finally we are leaving here.

"So, what happen with Vic? What took you so long? I started to worry about you?"

"Don't worry; Vic won't be the problem again"

"What did you do? And who is this guy you were speaking with?"

"Oh, he is some guy I met at the function. He is good guy and he is the one deal with Vic".

"I thought you were in trouble and are you ok? You look kind of flush?"

"No, trouble, I was just speaking to him and I'm kind of tired and I really need some good sleep".

I and Aunt Jenna get a taxi and went home. First we drop Jenna in her apartment and last are mine. I reach my home by 11.30. I went straight to bedroom and change into my pjs and hoping for good sleep.
