"Are you actually cooking?" Klaus teased. He had sneaked up on Caroline and was leaning against the entrance to the Forbes-kitchen; he couldn't help but smile because the girl standing in front of him was a complete and utter mess. Cooking wasn't exactly one of Caroline's strongest points but she wanted to surprise Klaus with a home-cooked meal. The steak was burning, the sauce was boiling over and the perfect cut vegetables were overcooked, everything was falling apart. She hadn't even had time to put make-up on and do her hair. When she heard Klaus' voice she went over the edge, first of all he wasn't supposed to be there before another hour or so and secondly he had ruined the surprise even though the whole thing was a complete failure.

She turned around and looked at Klaus with a look of frustration; it angered her that he was standing there looking so incredibly perfect while she was a complete train-wreck but most of all it angered her that he'd showed up before he was supposed to. "A thousand years old and you still don't know how the clock works?" she questioned while rolling her eyes before trying to rescue what was left of the dinner.

"Well, I'm not exactly known for my patience" he replied and rolled up the sleeves on his shirt as he entered the kitchen; heading for the stove to turn down the heat that was turning the steak into coal.

"Hey, I am very capable of doing that myself you know" Caroline spat

"Sure, I can see that" Klaus laughed and pulled her in for a warm embrace, he wrapped his strong arms around her. An aroma of tropical summer lingered on her skin, like a sweet mix of strawberries and coconuts and it invited him in. His nose followed the beautiful lines on her neck, taking in every scent of Caroline and at the same time imprisoning his insufferable thirst...for her.

"Don't even think about it" Caroline warned, she could easily tell what he wanted to do, she could feel it – his entire body tensed and his grasp around her went from soft and caring to intense and demanding. She wriggled away and turned the stove off before taking the casserole with vegetables over to the sink to pour the water out of it.

"Don't take this the wrong way Love, but I am very certain that you would've tasted much better than that steak" Klaus teased and took the casserole out of Caroline's hands to finish the job she had started.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but we are going to sit down like normal people and enjoy this meal" She told him and placed the steak onto a serving tray bringing it over to the already set table. When she turned around to get the rest of their meal Klaus approached her with both vegetables and sauce in his hands and said; "How many times do I have to remind you that we are not normal people?"

"Well, tonight we are" She answered and was about to sit down but before she could get to it Klaus was by her side and pulled the chair out for her – he always managed to make her feel special regardless of what situations she found herself in.

"Oh my God" Caroline blurted out as she forced the food down, trying very hard not to throw up because it tasted awful. She glanced up at Klaus who sat across from her with this satisfied look glued all over his face. "Don't you dare say it" she added because she knew what he wanted to say just by looking at him.

"I'm sorry sweetheart but you leave me with no other choice here…I told you so" Klaus laughed as he delicately put the cutlery down and took a mouthful of water. "It's alright Caroline, it wasn't that bad" he continued when he saw her disappointed face…

Why did he have to lie about it? Couldn't he just be completely honest? "Not that bad? Please" she said.

Klaus wanted to laugh again but he was kinda worried that if he did the whole night would be ruined so he tried to pull himself together and said; "Stop pouting Love – smiling suits you better. Besides, I've had worse, trust me" That not laughing part didn't go very well because half-way into the sentence he couldn't hold it back any longer.

"It's not funny" Caroline replied when she saw how amusing he thought this was.

"I know" he agreed and cleared his voice.

"Then stop laughing" she emphasized while pushing the plate away.

As Klaus watched Caroline he realized that her goddess-like appearance filled the entire room, she was absolutely stunning….sinfully delicious and even though dinner was a bust the desert wasn't…

"Maybe this will cheer you up…I brought desert" Those last three words came out slow and sounded like an invitation…

"Oh yeah? And what might that be?" Caroline questioned with a much peeked interest while putting some strains of hair behind her ear.

"This" he whispered hoarsely into her ear when he suddenly appeared at her side – swiftly switching places with her and positioned her onto his lap. She gazed at the candle lights that danced in the wind that swirled around them because of Klaus' inhuman speed and when she turned back to look at him he had something on his lips, she couldn't see what it was but she could smell it…it was blood….his blood.

"Go on" he said; encouraging her to sample what the menu had to offer as he brought his wounded wrist up to her trembling lips….
