Caroline woke up early. She looked up her bed and stared at the beautiful ceiling of that amazing hotel. Everything was just like a dream. She was actually enjoying it. She wanted to call Bonnie or Elena but she knew that none of them would understand. She just couldn't believe that Caroline Forbes, Miss Mystic Falls, little girl from that little town was in Spain with the biggest vampire of all times.
She got dressed, and then she found a vase of orchids and a blood bag in the living room, with a note. She laughed alone. "Join me for breakfast? Waiting at the lobby, K." She went down to have breakfast.
Caroline found Klaus at the main table of the hotel's restaurant. Of course he would sit in the best table with the best view. He got up at the moment he saw Caroline and welcomed her with a dearly smile, "Good morning Caroline. How are you feeling today, love?" She smiled back. At this point Caroline wasn't pretending anymore. She was really enjoying Klaus' presence. He had this elegant and striking attitude.
"What's the plan for today?" Caroline asked, curious.
"Well, I sent a driver to pick Dara at the airport, so we can do anything we want. Anything you want." She bitted her lips. Klaus noticed that she was a little embraced and still hesitating around him. But that barrier was smoothly fading away. "We could see come castles." He smiled at her. She smiled, unwittingly, but suddenly she contained herself again.
"Okay" She simply said. Klaus glanced at her for a while. "What's that look for?" She laughed.
"Nothing. Just like observing you." She lowed her head, smiling.
That morning was fantastic. Klaus took Caroline everywhere she wanted to go. He looked out for her. They stopped at coffee shops, museums. They suddenly stopped at a jewelry store. Caroline stared at a beautiful blue necklace, which seemed been made of diamonds and sapphires. It was a breathtaking necklace. Klaus would offer her that gift. But he was afraid that Caroline misunderstood him. So they just kept walking.
Caroline had fun with him. She arrived at the hotel smiling. She wasn't that happy for a very long time. Disconnected from all the vampire-hybrid drama. She was living; living the life that a vampire was supposed to live. Meeting cities, great histories and people. Going through generations, observing the changes of the world and society. She saw her history class come to live. She understood. Klaus was just a amazed spectator of this beauty.
He left her at her room again. "Thank you for the day. I really enjoyed it. I really mean it." Caroline said. He smiled.
"I'm going to check on Dara. Here's the key to our new room. I'll send someone to pick your things up." He showed some sarcasm. He wasn't force Caroline to do anything, he was just happy about the time that she was spending with him without Tyler, Elena or Stefan. She said a yes with her head.
Later that day an employee from the hotel knocked at Caroline's door.
"Miss Caroline Forbes?"
"Yeah, that's me"
"I'll take you to our new room."
The man took Caroline to a bigger room. It was like an apartment with two bedrooms. Maybe for brothers and sister's or, in her case, hybrids and vampires with no relationship at all. Klaus already unpacked at the room. "Sir Niklaus will be here any minute. He told me to tell you, miss, that he was talking to a mutual friend.", the man said. He was talking about Dara of course. Caroline whispered a really great full "Thank you" and then again she was left alone.
She looked at all the room. Then, in a moment of curiosity, she went to see Klaus' things. Everything didn't look very different except by a notebook that was in his bed. Caroline picked the notebook to see what was written. She got surprised. There were thousands drawings of her. Her back, her hair, her mouth. She smiled.
Then she suddenly heard a noise. It was him, coming through the door. She put everything at the same place and went to her "bedroom".
"I did not know that you were already here, I thought told that man to warn me as soon as you get here. I'm sorry for making you wait."
"It's fine." She smiled, sincerely. She was still thinking about the drawings he made of her.
"So, I talked to Dara, we are leaving tomorrow. We will get an airplane and then we'll continue by car. I'll drive." They smiled at each other.
