Chapter: 8

Ugh, it's been three week after that incident. Niklaus mikealson one of the richest bachelors in Seattle asks me for date. I didn't tell anyone about this. I got the job in Seattle publishing house as junior editor. I have to work under Miss Stella Evans, she is very talented and she has achieved so many things.

Bonnie and Kate return from New York, told me about their adventure. I never have being anywhere other than my hometown and Seattle. One day may be, I can get a chance to see the world.

It's being three weeks; still he haunts me in my sleep. Whenever I close my eyes, I can see his smile and his raspberry lips haunting me. Everywhere I go, I can his face. I can't concentrate on my work. I have being working in Seattle publishing for past one week. When I got the call from my editor, I was so excited and happy.

Bonnie has some meeting today, so she went early for work. I have lots of time for my work. So I go with daily routine and I leave my home at 8.30 am. My work starts at 9 sharp and Stella doesn't like later comers.

I reach my cabin and Stella has given me lots of scripts to check. One of the main reason, I choose this profession because I love to read books. I started reading books when I was six years old. The main reason, I started because my parents fight all the time and books is the only companion which makes me forget about the real world.

By the lunch time, I'm about to finish three scripts and two more are there. I leave the building and cross the street to Geraldine's counter restaurant. I don't like to eat in the canteen. They mostly serve non veg. this restaurant is one of the best in Seattle and they have the best veggie burgers. The atmosphere here is good and I feel like home. The opposite of this restaurant is the world's famous café day. Most rich people hang in there.

I ordered my usual veggie burger with French fries and chocolate milkshake. I finish my food quickly and I leave the restaurant. When I'm about to cross the street, I saw Klaus on opposite side of the road with some guy in suits.

He is in his usual hotness with sexy hair. He is in his formal pantsuit with his first two buttons are open. He saw me and wave towards me. I'm panting, nervous to meet him. I can see his damn dimples and I may faint at the site.

I wave back at him and I'm about to cross the street. When I was in the middle, a car from nowhere hit me and I fly over the car and fell down. I can see Klaus running over to me and yelling at someone. He takes me in his arm and says something to me but I can't hear it. My eyelids are heavy and my head hurt pretty bad.

I feel someone lifting me from the ground and put me in the solid surface. When I slowly open my eyes to see what's happening, I can see that I'm in Klaus's car with my head in his lap. He tells his driver to hurry and stoke my cheeks with his knuckles.

"Caroline, do you hear me?"

"Caroline be with me love".

"Don't worry love, I got you". With that he yells at the driver. I slowly close my eyes and my conscious fed's with me.

There is only pain. My head hurts with burning pain and my arms feel numb. Where am I?

I try to open my eyes but I can't. I can hear some whispers near me.

I can feel someone kiss my head and stoke my face. My unconsciousness claims me once more, stealing me away from my pain.

I slowly open my eyes and to see where I'm?. I can see I'm in a large white room and the curtains of the windows are closed. My nose is attached with oxygen tube and my hands are attached with IV tubes.

I can hear someone stir near me and I slowly turn my head to right side. I gasp at the site; Klaus is sleeping in the sofa with his jacket warp on the table.

I slowly try to lift my arm, but I can't. I try to open my mouth but only air comes out. Again darkness consumes me.

"Is she okay? Is there any internal injure and why she still in unconscious?"

"Mr. mikealson, slow down a bit. She is perfectly fine and may regain her conscious in one or two hours. And she hurt her head very badly."

"So, is she going to be alright?"

"Yeah, of course she is going to be okay. But it will take some time for her. Her body loses all nutrients and she should regain it".

"When she can go home?"

"May be in couple of days, I guess. I can't tell anything about it and I have to see her condition when she wakes up, then only I can decide about it".

Klaus stoke my face and I open my eyes to see him. When he sees me, his eyes come to alive and he come to my side and squeezes my hand.

"Hi" that's all I can manage.

"Hello, love. Welcome back. How do you feel?"

"I feel everything in my body hurts and how long was in coma?" he still hold my fingers firmly and I can feel the current whenever he touches me.

"You have been unconscious for 24 hours. And I called your roommate and inform her. You will feel better soon".

"Oh, bonnie, how do you know her? Did she come to see me?"

"Don't worry love, I can find anything in the world. Yes, she came when you were unconscious. She stayed with you for couple of hours with your cater friend."

"Oh, thank you Klaus for saving my life".

"Don't worry love; it's my job to protect you."

"No, it's not?"

"Yes, it is. Caroline I told you how I feel about you. I really like and I want to spend some time with you."

"So, you favor this situation for you".

"Yeah" he smiles sheepishly to me. "Are you hungry love?" I nod and "can you sit love, then you can eat your breakfast".

He helps to sit with pillows on back to support my sprain and my head. By the time some guy comes with tray full of food. All I can see is non veggie. Uh-oh, I need to tell Klaus about this.

"Caroline, meet Sam martin, he is one of my security guy and he certainly brought you food".

"Hi, martin, it's nice to see you. Oh, Klaus I'm a vegetarian".

"Oh, I don't know. Sorry love, I can order some veggie for you".

"Oh, Sam takes these. Bring some veggie for Miss Forbes".

"Klaus, it's not necessary for you to stay with me. You can go home. You look beat".

"I will love, when you discharge from the hospital".

"Okay, which hospital it is?"

"Its Seattle grace hospital. Why?"

"Oh, my god, the alarm goes in my head".

"What happened love?"

"Uh, I can't afford that much money".

"Seriously love, trust me. I can and don't worry about the money. All you need is to regain your strength".

"What? Are you crazy? You know me for like 5 minutes and you are willing to pay for me?"

"I like to know you better. This is just money".

I have this argue to roll my eyes. We talk for some time and he went down to eat and to make some calls.

I ask Klaus to open the curtains. It's lovely to see outside. It's raining as usual but the view is good. I'm at 5th floor. I can see the sunlight falls on the raindrops and it's so beautiful. I can also see rainbow.

God, I like this moment. I think about my conservation with Klaus. He seems nice guy and he genuinely cares about me. I like to try and give him a chance. Or I will end up as old maid.
