"He wants me to go on a date with him…" Aimee was back in her room with Rebekah, fuming. Rebekah had a puzzled look on her face.

"What the hell?"

"Exactly. He's so confusing. What do I do?"

"Well, he can't take you far. Honestly Aimee, I don't see any harm in it."

"Really?"

"I mean, he could've asked you to do something a lot worse. I'm truly surprised he didn't ask you for
blood or sex…or both." Finally, Aimee agreed to get the date over with, but she still pouted. Suddenly,
Rebekah perked up. "I know what you need."

"What?"

"Get dressed. We're going to the 20's dance at the high school." Aimee was excited. She was actually
excited to go to a high school dance.

"But, I don't have anything to wear."

"Follow me." Rebekah led her to another room that was down the hall from Aimee's. It was one of the
rooms she hadn't explored because after Kol's room, she didn't feel the need to do anymore exploring.
Rebekah's room was huge! It looked like a medieval princess room, and the closet was a room by itself.
"We're probably the same size, pick whatever you want." She let Aimee try on different dresses until she
picked out a lavender gown that made her emerald green eyes stand out. Then they did each other's
hair and makeup. "I haven't done girly things like this since I was a human. You look beautiful Aimee."

"You do too Rebekah." They went down to the parlor to have a drink before the dance and Klaus was
there having his own drink. He looked at the girls suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.

"And where are you ladies off to?"

"Going out." Rebekah stated smugly.

"How are you going out if I've compelled Aimee not to leave the area?" He said just as arrogantly. The
girls frowned.

"Can't you just take the compulsion off for tonight Nik?" She pleaded.

"Do you mistake me for a fool Rebekah? That would be like calling the Salvatores here myself and
handing her over." They glared at each other for a few seconds before Aimee spoke up.

"It's okay Bekah. Go. I'll find something else to do."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, now go. I'll be fine." Rebekah nodded and then left for the dance. Klaus left soon after. Aimee
poured herself a drink and sat at the bar.

"So, how about that date?" Aimee turned to see Kol, dressed in a tuxedo, and looking very handsome.
Of course, she would never admit that out loud to anyone, especially him. She was still pretty nervous
around him. Why wouldn't she be? He was intimidating, strong, ruthless, and didn't care about
anyone's opinion of him. He lived his life the way he wanted and God have mercy on the poor soul who
stood in his way or tried to tell him what to do. But Aimee was the type of person to pick out all the good
things about a person, regardless of any evils they may have committed. And she saw good in Kol too.
Yes, it was buried deep down inside of him where no one would ever find it, but Aimee refused to believe
that he was 100% heartless. She knew there were good things. She just needed to find them. And
though he would never admit to it, Kol wanted her to be the one to see the good. He just didn't know
how to tell her that.

"You know, I'd much rather sit here and drink the rest of this alcohol." Kol glared at her. He wasn't used
to women giving him negative attention. "But, I really want my phone, so let's just get this over with."
Aimee stood up, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, while Kol smirked.

"Right, this is all about your precious phone. You can't stand there and tell me that's all you want." He
looked her up and down and stood really close to her.

"And what is it exactly that you think I want Kol?" She looked at him deeply with those eyes, green as
gemstones, and he felt like she was looking into his soul. If she was a vampire she need only look at him
with those eyes and she'd be able to compel him. He stared back at her with a smoldering look.

"I think you're bored with your life. You want to see some change. You want adventure, excitement,
and maybe even some danger. If you haven't noticed Darling, I'm the only one in this town who fits
those qualities."

"Well, there is Damon." She smiled sarcastically, pouring herself another drink. He narrowed his eyes at
the name.

"Damon is hardly worth the trouble. Besides, he loves Elena." Aimee frowned. He had obviously hit a
nerve. She turned on him.

"How do you know what love is like? You're heartless and cruel. You don't know anything about love."
She spoke with such a harsh tone; Kol was stunned by the viciousness of it. A solemn look took over his
features, and Aimee saw what she thought was a flicker of sadness.

"You're wrong. I was in love…once."
