Author's Note:

OMG! I am sosoososososososoososo sorry for making you guys wait this long for the next chapter. I've had a lot of work from school and also had a bad case of writer's block and I promise I will update much much much sooner than I have before! But anyway, I am sooo unbelievably happy that TVD is back on. I honestly don't think I could have lasted another week with out it! Although I lovelovelove TVD, I feel like the writers have kinda just lost the storyline for it now. I don't like how they've just sort of side-stepped the whole Silas storyline to make way for the whole bad-Elena storyline. And I also miss Bonnie! And of course, I am certrainly not thrilled about this Hayley and Klaus hook-up but I suppose it was inevitable in the end! But apparently there's alot of Klaroline in episode 18 so I'm REALLY excited for that! WOOO! Anyway, sorry for the long note ahhaa but yea, sorry for the very very long update delay! I promise that I will update sooner this time and sorry this is short! I just really wanted to get one out! Enjoy and please review! xxxxx

This is set after 4x16 - Klaus pondering over Caroline, after sleeping with Hayley

He sat by the fire nursing a glass of bourbon. Although he had a beautiful woman sleeping in his bed, he somehow, still couldn't get a certain blonde beauty out of his head. He wished that it could have been her who he had been kissing a mere few hours ago. He wished that is could have been her who had, so heatedly, ripped his clothes from his body. But yet, his wish seemed as if it would never come true.

Hayley's words echoed through his head.

"I guess I'll never get my chance with Tyler, anymore than you'll get a shot with Caroline."

He wished he could be totally selfless and want to give up everything for her, but he just couldn't. His past thousand years of living had taught him that the only one he could trust is himself. He couldn't allow himself to fall any deeper for Caroline than he already had.

As much as he wished that Caroline would accept him and finally be with him, he knew he would constantly be scared of her rejecting him and someday leaving him. Everyone leaves in the end and everything ends. He knew that better than anyone else. He just wished that there was a way that she could just see past all the things he had done but he knew that it could never just happen like that.

He sometimes liked to think that, maybe in a year or a few, or maybe even a century, that she would come and find him and tell him that she's ready for him to show her the world. That she'll one day come to him to save him but also accept what he had done in the past. Maybe one day, he thought to himself.

He heard the soft snores of Hayley coming from his bedroom and hoped that maybe, upon knowing of his and the wolf-girl's tryst, that maybe Caroline will realise she feels something for him. The one thing that was worrying him the most was that he was scared that it will only push her farther away. He knew he wasn't going to stay celibate just in hopes that, maybe one day, he'll be able to make love to Caroline, but he couldn't help but feel guilty for sleeping with Hayley.

Maybe one day though, he'll finally be able to show Caroline, just how much love he can give. Maybe one day, he'll be able to give her everything she deserves in life. To be happy. To have all the love in the world.

Maybe one day…
