Sorry for grammar mistakes...I hope you enjoy the chapter!

At the end of the dinner, I was more relaxed, even though everything I thought was get home. But my plans to be alone were cancelled by Rebekah and Klaus. They had agreed to go with Damon drinking and dancing at a new bar that had opened last week. After much denial for my part they accepted that I didn't wanna go but they wanted to take me home before they go drinking.

After we parted, we went to Klaus's car to the apartment. Rebekah insisted on going in back seat and I had to go forward with Klaus. 'I need to stretch my legs. Caroline don't you mind to go forward?'

My answer was 'No', but in my mind I said a big Yes, I do mind. 'I let you choose the radio station love' Klaus said. I didn't answer. I sat on the bench and went the way without a move, I haven't looked to Klaus but once in a while I felt his eyes on me.

While the car was about to the door of the apartment, a slim figure sitting on our front porch made my chest tighten. When Klaus stopped, I jumped from the car and ran to Stefan. He was pale and had dark circles in the eyes.

'Caroline' I gave a cautious step toward him 'I need your help.' Stefan came toward me.

'Wait' Klaus appeared in my front.

'Klaus, everything is fine' I moved away from him and I hugged Stefan.

'I'll go to the apartment with Stefan. You can go'.

'I don't think so' Klaus nodded, his eyes never strayed from Stefan.

'Klaus, we will. Caroline will be fine with her friend, right?' Rebekah look at me, waiting for my confirmation.

'Yes. Thank you' I thanked. Klaus went away angry.

…

'Caroline?'

The impatient voice of Stefan pulled me back. I sighed.

'Let's go inside'. Once we sat down on the couch, I went back to him 'I told Elena that she was making a mistake. I am team Stefan. You know that. You both are my best friends'. I nodded and rubbed his shoulder in comfort. 'Maybe Elena change her ideas'.

'She made her choice'

'What are you going to do?'

'I'm going to travel! You know I always wanted to go travelling. I think I need this now'.

'Where are you going? Las Vegas?'

'Lot of confusion' both laughed.

'I know you are hurt. I don't understand why Elena did this to you. You lived for her. It's time for you live your life!'

'What if Elena was the one?'

'She was. She is. And she always will be your epic love, but now you need time. Both needed time.'

'This is all because of her parents, you know it is! She felt that our relationship was very intense'

'I know. You will see that she will come back to you. She just needs time to think. You can stay here as long as you want'.

He just shook his head 'I would appreciate if I could sleep on your couch until Monday. I have a Flight on Monday. I'll go back to Elena, when she is prepared.

'Okay'

I found a blanket in the closet and left it on the couch, along with a pillow. I went to the bedroom and I sent a message to Rebekah so she doesn't frighten when enter into the house and see a man sleeping on our couch.

She answered me asking me if everything was okay and I said yes.

…

'I'm going to tell Elena that you will come back. Yesterday I tried to call her, but she didn't answer. The difference of hours ...' I tried defender Elena, but at the same time I also wanted to defend Stefan. It was very difficult to choose a side.

'Goodbye, sweetie. Thanks for everything' I opened the door. Stefan picked up the suitcase and hugged me, I gave him a kiss on the cheek. 'Bye Stefan. Please, write me, you need to give me news. A postcard by country' was one of our jokes.

When I was going to close the door, Klaus suddenly pushed the door and entered.

'What a beautiful farewell! So, it was now that the mysterious man is gone?' I turned my back on Klaus and I launched a fulminating look over my shoulder.

'Don't you have work to do?'

I went to the kitchen to make my breakfast. He was standing at the kitchen door, looking at me.

I started doing coffee in the kettle. Then I turned around, leaning over the counter with my arms crossed on the chest. I was very aware of the fact that I was not wearing a bra under my sweater. In fact, I think I never had more awareness of my body that when I was close to Klaus.

Being in front of him let me less confident. I was curious to know what he thought of me. I had good hair on days when they solved to be good, but these days were few. My eyes were probably my best feature, at least that is what people say. I had my dad's blue eyes. I wasn't beautiful or glamorous. I also don't think I was ugly, but Klaus made me worry about this. Stupid.

'Seriously, do not you work?'

He stood in the door and casually walked toward me.

He was in another fantastic three pieces suit. As he approached, I found my mind wandering in fantasy land: Klaus kissing me, lifting me to the bench, pushing my legs, his tongue in my mouth ... I turned to finish brewing.

'I'll have a meeting' he replied, then he put himself beside me and began to prepare coffee. 'I came to see if everything was fine'.

'Good morning' Rebekah spoke and walked into the kitchen. 'Thanks for warn me that Stefan would get to sleep on the couch. It would scary if I didn't know that he was the man that I see on the couch'.

'Stefan is Elena's boyfriend. He they had a discussion'.

'I hope that they understand'

'I hope so'.

…..

On Thursday, I had decided to go shopping with Rebekah. She had caught a terrible habit. Go to my wardrobe. So, I decided to come with her to do some shopping, she was already tired of complaining that she had nothing to wear. I knew she had, but all women like to have new clothes.

We decided to take a break and we were eating an ice cream. I felt as a young girl, missing school to go to the mall with her friend. We were talking about the festivals that were in town, when I saw Klaus. I didn't know what was the feeling I have for him and this bothered me. But I knew I was feeling something, when I saw him.

Klaus was walking towards us. He was wearing dark blue jeans, black boots, a dark gray pullover and a leather jacket that showed his sculpted body. In his hand there was another hand.

She belonged to a woman who I had never seen before.

'Klaus' Rebekah muttered.

Suddenly, I wished I was anywhere else other than this place. The slight kick that I felt in my stomach when I saw him with someone was not fun.

'Rebekah' Klaus stopped next to our table and waved to the bags 'You were shopping?'.

'Yes, I needed some new things and Caroline came to help me'.

'Good' he muttered, and looked at me 'Caroline, this is Hayley'.

Hayley and I looked at one another, our polite smiles. She reminded me a little Katherine: high and brunette.

Klaus had a crush on Brunettes. No wonder he had stopped flirt with me.

'Hello, Hayley' Rebekah muttered with a boring voice.

Klaus looked at her sister 'I had a meeting in a restaurant and Hayley was beside my table. We decided to go out and drink a coffee'.

I felt hurt, my chest was sore and I was starting to feel nauseous. 'It's nice to see you again, Rebekah' Hayley replied sweetly.

I could not stand being there anymore. 'I totally forgot. I have an article to finish. Today. Now, in fact' I waved an excuse 'I have to go. Rebekah see you later'. And I moved out of there, almost running.
