'Klaus,' Caroline said surprise, when she opened the door.
'Caroline,' he said in return, smiling at her. She smiled back at him.
'Can I come in?' he asked.
'Sure,' she said, still smiling. She didn't know why, Bonnie had just died – well, she had just heard about it – but here she was, smiling like an idiot.
Klaus tried to step inside, but he couldn't. They both were surprised. Then Caroline laughed. 'Of course,' she said. 'My mother never asked you in, so… you can't. She's not here. We can go outside?'
'I don't want to bother you,' Klaus said. 'So if I…'
'No, you're not bothering me!' Caroline said. 'Give me a sec, I'm just looking for my keys.'
Klaus smiled when he watched her walking back inside. Maybe they had a change of being together.
Katherine and Damon couldn't stop kissing. They had stopped and now Katherine had climbed on top of him and didn't stop kissing him. Damon wasn't complaining.
'I thought you were hungry,' he whispered against her lips.
'I am,' she said seductively.
He laughed and kissed her again. 'Let's go find a hotel,' Katherine proposed.
'That's a good idea, but first I want you to eat something,' he said to her. 'You didn't eat your breakfast.'
'Are you going to punish me?' Katherine asked.
'Maybe,' Damon said. 'But first… you have to eat something. She didn't want to let go of him and he didn't want her to, so he stepped outside with her wrapped around his middle. They both laughed.
'I'm going to find the bathroom,' Katherine asked. Damon watched her walk away. He needed some gas, he thought. And some food for her.
He paid for his gas and then found some croissants and donuts for her. He also bought some chips and a few bottles of water. Katherine hugged him from behind when he was paying.
He smiled.
'I got us some food,' he said.
'I thought it was for me only,' Katherine pouted. 'I'm not going to share.'
'We'll see,' Damon said.
Katherine smiled and buried her face in his back.
'Thanks,' Damon said when the cashier gave him his back.
'I have some donuts and croissants,' Damon said. He and Katherine leaned at his car.
'Strawberry donuts,' Katherine said. She looked at him.
'There were also some blueberry donuts, but I know you don't like blueberries, so…' Damon laughed.
'You remember that?' Katherine asked surprised.
'Of course I do,' Damon said. 'I remember every moment we share.'
Katherine looked at him. I wish he didn't remember anything, she thought. I wish he didn't remember how cruel I've been.
'So… how has college been?' Klaus asked.
'Great,' Caroline said casual. 'Really interesting. And there are a lot of cute guys.'
She watched Klaus' reaction out of the corner of her eye. She saw the jealous look on his face and something inside her jumped.
She knew he liked her, but she wasn't sure if he didn't change his mind. Apparently, he hadn't . She knew that wasn't supposed to make her so happy.
'So… how have you been doing?' she asked. 'How's Hailey doing?'
Klaus sighed. 'I'm really worried about her,' he said. 'She's about to give birth.'
'She's only… 4 or 5 months pregnant,' Caroline said.
'Yes, but the baby has grown really fast. She seems to be okay, but I just… I hope everything will be okay.'
'Why aren't you with her?' Caroline asked.
'I wanted to tell you the news about Bonnie,' Klaus said. 'Personal. Besides, the witches wanted me to bring a vampire back to New Orleans. Elijah and I are busy all the time – you know, with their business, and they didn't want to babysit Hailey, so…'
'Who is her new babysitter?' Caroline asked laughing.
'Damon,' Klaus said.
Caroline stood still. 'What?' she exclaimed. 'Are you out of your mind? Damon?!'
'He's already on his way,' Klaus said.
'You can't be serious,' Caroline said. Klaus had to smile. It was the same thing Damon had said.
'Well, I'm,' he said. 'But I wanted to ask you something.'
They still stood there. Above them was a large tree. It was not just a tree, actually. It was the tree were Caroline had received her first kiss, when she was seven years old. The memory made her smile.
'What?' Caroline asked.
Klaus didn't thought it would be so difficult. So he asked something else.
'How are you and Tyler doing?' he asked.
'We broke up,' Caroline responded.
'Really?' Klaus asked. She didn't look very sad, he thought.
'Yeah,' Caroline said. 'A few months ago, actually. He… I guess I had changed to much. We just… we didn't fit together anymore.'
'Come with me to New Orleans,' he said. 'I know you didn't want to at the first place, but…' He wanted to tell her about the universities there, about how he wanted her to be there and see his baby, about how he hoped they could be together, if she wanted, of course… But she interrupted him and he couldn't say one of those things.
'Yes,' Caroline said.
Klaus was astonished. He watched her face, watching for some clues that could tell him she was joking. But she smiled at him, watching him just like he was watching her.
'Are you serious?' he asked.
'I am,' she said.
They looked at each other for a few more seconds, then Klaus started to smile. Caroline had never seen him so happy and his happiness made her even more happy.
Klaus walked towards her and cupped her face. They looked in each other's eyes. Caroline laid her hands on his back and pulled him closer.
He still watched her as he bowed closer. She closed her eyes.
Klaus' kiss made her feel things she'd never felt before. She kissed him back, passionately.
They both couldn't believe this was actually happening. But it was. Others who walked by watched them; two people, kissing each other under a tree, looking really happy. It wasn't just a kiss. It was promise for their future. Together.
Tell me what you think!
