Last time on Soccer Punk Elena and Caroline hang out they run into Damon and surprisingly Klaus. When Elena and Damon leave upon Elena's request Caroline gets stuck with Klaus. So now it continues. The characters come from the television show The Vampire Diaries but the story is my own creation... Enjoy 3
"I can't believe they just left us alone." I accidently say out loud.
Klaus responds, "Believe me I had no idea they were going to ditch."
"No, no, no. I just meant it caught me off guard."
"Caroline, what is your intention of me?"
"All I know is your past." I admit, "and I'm not sure I want to know more."
"Why?" he asks me but I do not know the answer. I pick up my iced coffee and just continue drinking it. While I try to figure out an answer but nothing comes to mind. He tries to take my hand but I pull away. "Why?" He asks again.
"I don't know." I hold my head in my hands.
"Come, let's go for a walk." He takes my hand and leads me outside. He walks backwards still in front of me. "Come on get to know me."
"Klaus."
"Come on, I dare you."
"Why is this so important to you?"
"I don't know," he mocks me, "maybe it's because I want you to see the real me."
"But why me?"
"Why are you so insistent of us being strangers?"
"Because I do not need someone else hurting me." I let out and we both stop walking. "I don't need another person leaving.
My head hangs down in shame as I had just exposed what kind of person I was.
"Hey," he holds my head in his hands, "don't do that to yourself. I would never, ever think of hurting you. Not in any way possible."
His face gets closer and closer to mine. Then closer and closer till his forehead is on mine. Slowly he leans in for a kiss but I step back.
"I'm sorry," he says. "I don't know what I was thinking."
"No Klaus. It's not you, it's just everyone around me tells me these things about you and I really don't know what to believe. I'm scared that you are just acting like this to me then get into a fight the next second. I don't want to be played a fool."
"You are not a fool. You are the most amazing person I have ever met Caroline. I promise you, you have seen the real me. Everything that I have done there is a reason behind it. Not one that it should justify all my actions but it's all I got." I take a deep breath ready to hear what he might say for himself.
He continues, "My mother cut me out as a child. It was like I wasn't part of the family to her because she had an affair and my father became furious with her. For that he never saw me as a son. He would always push me around and abuse me throughout my childhood. Both of my parents hated me and saw me as a disgrace. When I turned 12 I became reckless and unstable. I was picking on other kids who were younger than me and got into a bunch of fights. Just so my parents could pay attention to me in some type of way. I stole stupid things for fun, just because it was something better to do then go back home. Then when I turned 16 my siblings made me realize how important family was not for my parents but for them. My siblings and I agreed to always be there for each other and it has helped me get through this past year."
"Oh Klaus," I wrap my arms around him and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry, I judged so quickly and didn't even give you a chance to explain."
He puts his hands on my shoulders as he pushes away and looks deep into my eyes. "It's alright. Most people would not even talk to me but you did. That was all I needed to know that I was being given a fresh start."
"But I didn't give you a fresh start. I judged you from day one without realizing who you were or the reasoning for your past. I'm so sorry."
Klaus put his hands down and says, "I forgive you but how about you?"
"What about me?" I respond quickly.
"Well you said that you don't need another person leaving. Who left you to leave you so scared of getting to know someone new."
"My dad," I admit, "he admitted to my mother and I that he was a homosexual. After that I never really saw or spoke to him again. He just left and didn't hear what we had to say."
"Well Caroline I can tell you this much. I will never leave you in the dust and I am definitely not gay." We both start laughing. "How about we promise each other something?"
"Oh yeah, what?"
"That we will always be there for each other. Whether we need protection, or just some friendly advice we will always meet each other halfway. Deal?" he puts his hand out for a handshake but instead I gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Deal." I repeat and we both smile.
"So what do you want to do next?" he asks me as if I had any idea.
"Don't look at me. Aren't you the guy? You're supposed to choose the date then show me a good time."
"So this is a date now?"
"Depends, on what you planned for us to do next."
"Well love, how about we go and play some foosball? At the Mystic Grill?" The Mystic Grill was an awesome place to eat and just hang out. Elena, Bonnie and I go there sometimes to eat but I haven't been there in a while.
"Sounds good." I smile and we continue walking.
We arrive at the Mystic Grill only to see Bonnie and Elena's brother Jeremy.
Bonnie and Jeremy just happen to be dating but Jeremy wasn't always such a goody two shoes. He was doing drugs and drinking for 3 to 4 months but when one of his girlfriends died he decided to put his life on track. Bonnie was resistant with dating him at first but now she acts like nothing ever happened. I ignore that they are even there. Klaus and I walk up to the table and start playing.
"So I got this interesting phone call the other day." I start off the conversation.
"Oh yeah, from who?"
"I don't have caller id but when I answered there was no reply." I tell him then score a goal. "Ha I got it."
"Don't get too cocky I am a soccer player. As for the phone call Damon texted me your number just incase I wanted to check up on you but my sister got to my phone before I did. She was wondering who it was so she called it. When she heard your voice she was surprised to hear the voice of a female. She hung up and bugged me the rest of the day." He then scored on my goal. "One point for me."
"Why was she so surprised?" I asked, "I would figure that you have quite a bit of girl's numbers."
"Why would you say that?"
"Because you are nice and lets be honest you're hot. I would think that you had every girl after you."
"Well you would think wrong but thank you for the compliment love. As for my sister she was surprised because although I have been on a few dates I have never been in a real relationship. There was no point on getting there number and if I did I would delete it but with you it's different. I don't know why it feels that way but I am really glad I had met you Caroline."
"I am too. I like hanging out with you, it always feels like an adventure." I say then shoot a goal. "I win, what's my prize."
"Whatever you want it to be." he takes my hand and kisses it. "May I suggest lunch?"
"Sounds awesome, I'm starving."
We ordered a burger each with some fries. It was so delicious and the company wasn't too bad either. His stubbornness led him to paying the bill, he promised next time I could pay but I have a feeling that won't be happening. I had an amazing time for the rest of the day.
We walk up to my door, "I had a splendid time Caroline. I really hope it was considered a date."
"As did I and I would say it was." I replayed with a grin on my face.
"Why didn't you let me kiss you this morning?"
"I was curious to find out how far you would go to gain my trust."
"Have I?"
"Can I trust you?"
"Of course Caroline."
"Than yes, I do trust you."
"Does that mean I can kiss you?"
"I guess you should find out" I tease and prepare myself for this emotional reveal.
He grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. He is so close that I can feel his breath on me. I look into his eyes as he looks into mine then he begins to bite his lip. Once he lets go of his lip he also lets go of my hips. He then slowly moved his hands up my arms and gently holds my face.
He forehead is touching mind like how it was the last time but now. I can barely breath then he finally goes for the kiss. His lips were so soft and felt magical. I comb my fingers through his hair as he hold me close almost as he will never let go. His hands go from my face to down my back just exploring every part of me possible and I love it. The kiss continues to overwhelm me. Klaus then pulls away with me still wanting more.
"I had a fantastic times Caroline, I hope we do it again soon" he says while walking down the porch stairs.
"Well you do have my number so call me any time." I take a step down the staircase to give him one last peck. I retreat back and say the word, "Night."
"Goodnight Caroline. I hope you have a fine evening."
"Thank you."
I go inside to see my mother standing before me but instead of arguing I headed straight to my room and rested for the night. As I am about to go to sleep I go through all the amazing things that had happened today then finally pass out.
As always thank you for reading and I hope you guys liked the reveal of the person on the phone. There is a lot more to come for this story so I hope you all stick around. As always thank you for reading and I hoped you are enjoying Soccer Punk.
