And then that word grew louder and louder
She wasn't going to make it to the ball. She stood next to her car that was parked on the side of the road. The rear left tire was flat. Not a "Oh I just got a hole but I can still drive it home," kind of flat. More of a "She was lucky the rim of the car wouldn't be permanently damaged." Caroline was so not a car person. She grabbed her phone and stared at the black screen. It wasn't turning on. Why was his happening to her? She seemed to have the worst luck lately. She was just going to have to change the tire herself. She went to the trunk and rummaged around for tools. If this ruined her red feather dress she would be pissed.
She closed the trunk and quickly turned to find that her body had run into a wall. No, not a wall. It smelled too nice. The wall reached out and steadied heron her feet. "Oh." She mumbled, startled. "I didn't see you there." Even though she knew she was stating the obvious. The man chuckled, his smile showing off his straight, white teeth. "Would you like a ride, Caroline?" She suddenly glared at the man and took a few steps back. "How do you know who I am?" she asked defiantly. She was afraid, but she would be damned if she let this stranger know it.
"I do believe I was the one who invited you to my ball, sweetheart. So I would think I would at least know your name." He gave a little smirk as he took a playful bow. "What kind of host would I be if I left my guests stranded on the side of the road?" He extended his hand, and she took it without thinking. He escorted her to his car and opened her door for her. Caroline's mind was trying to figure out if he was a threat or not, when she saw someone she hadn't seen in over a year sitting in the back seat. "Stefan." She murmured.
Thank you, Musicalfreak. You have put the Caroline/Klaus relationship into perspective. You are my muse. Lol. I've been debating writing a oneshot with them, but I also feel that that time could be used to update. :/ So idk. Let me know.
