I have to be honest, I wrote this chapter with a bit of a hurry. Hope it's good. The last chapter had fewer reviews than usual. What happened?
Sorry for grammar mistakes ... Enjoy the chapter!
After the fashion show, my head was loaded. Tomorrow I had to wake up early but I knew that I was going to have a long night before being able to sleep. I could still feel Klaus in my mouth, on my chest, between my legs. I could still smell him and taste him for the love of God. And I managed to pretend that I didn't feel anything like that to him. I had just arrived home with Rebekah. We had not directed a word since we left the fashion show.
'So I see that we are not going to talk about it, right?' Rebekah asked in a low voice, behind me.
I looked over my shoulder, pretending ignorance 'Talk about what?'
She released an exasperated look 'The fact that Klaus followed you in the interval of the runway and return after twenty minutes and when he returned, looked like he had been attacked by someone'.
I started to laugh at the scene. Rebekah was not smiling 'Caroline! Seriously! What is happening?'
The laughter died of my lips 'He kissed me. We stopped. This will not happen again'.
'Klaus won't give up, you don't know him like I do'.
'I already warned him that I'm not interested'.
'I think you are'.
'Rebekah' I yelled 'Let's stop. I don't want to talk about it'.
She was pouting. 'But ...'
'Rebekah'.
'Okay'. She sighed.
In a effort to strip him of my mind I changed the subject. 'So what was going on between you and Damon?'
'I don't want to talk about it'.
'What's going on between you two? Come on Rebekah I know that you are a person that can't keep secrets. '
'Okay. He is confusing me' Rebekah looked me with sad eyes 'He keeps saying we're just good friends, but he acts as if we weren't'.
'I saw him pulling you. I looked up at Klaus, to see if he had seen the behavior of his friend, but he was entertained with Mason's wife'.
'Am I detecting some jealousy, Caroline?' I looked at her with my bad guy look and she decided to continue talking about Damon 'The more I tried to be cool with him, the more he was strange..' She shook her head, her eyes tired 'I need my bed' she yawned 'Good night, Caroline. Thanks for everything. You are a good friend and I love you' I froze with the words.
'Uh ... Yes' I replied, I wasn't accustomed to these words I love you ...
'Caroline, how was the party?' rolled eyes 'The party was normal, dad. Boys, girls, loud music ... '
'Tyler was there?' my father asked 'You know I don't like him with you. He drinks too much. You have to be careful'.
Smiling, I hooked an arm around the neck of my father while he drove 'I'll do, dad. I'll be careful. Don't worry. Thank you for pick me up'.
'Tonight, your mother is working. She left us dinner in the fridge, but what do you think of us going to the restaurant, only the two of us, dad and daughter bonding time?'
'I think that is the best idea that you've ever had, daddy'.
'I love you, Caroline'.
The walls ... closed on me, my chest getting tighter. The panic attack lasted longer this time.
I fought against the memory, I pushed the memories, trying to return to the present, allowing my body breathe.
When it was over, I wanted to cry more than I had already cried for a long time. But it only will weaken me. Instead I got up and slid into my bed, pretending that everything was okay.
…...
I woke up a little before 8 am and I was immediately struck by the memories of the night before. Memories of Klaus and what could happen between us. In an effort to forget, I took a quick shower, had breakfast and went to work.
I sat in my Office and started writing the article about the fashion show. I really wanted to be one of the chosen, so that my article appeared in the Mode magazine. Time passed very quickly and I managed to do a large part of my article, just missing me choose the perfect photos to complete the article.
On the way home I tried to fight against the nerves that had that crazy feeling in my belly all the time I thought Klaus on the promise that we would have to talk about what happened. I was ready to cross the crosswalk when I saw Klaus's face in the Mode magazine on the kiosk. The picture was small, but he was there, along with the article that I wrote about the golden singles of England. I decided to turn back and buy a magazine.
I went into house while flipping through the magazine, there was my article, I thought. I put the magazine in my room and suddenly I heard Rebekah's phone followed by a curse. She got home, I thought.
When I went to the kitchen, Rebekah was stowing the dishes from lunch and breakfast.
'Hello. Everything alright?'
'Yes, Yes. I received a message from Damon but is not even worth talking about it. He is a looser'. Rebekah continued to tidy up the dishes 'I've got the new Mode magazine, I really liked the article that you made about the singles golden. I found some of them quite cute, except my brother, of course'. She looked at me 'Speaking about my brother, do you know something about him? Today he didn't call me.'
'Why would he say anything to me?'.
'Because something is rolling among you two'.
'Rebekah' I warned her.
'I need to tell you a few things about Klaus. He is my brother but he's not my father's son. My mom had an affair and my father just found out that Klaus was not his son when he was ten years old. My father never liked him very much. He was not a good father to him, never gave him a love that a dad should give'.
'This is unbelievable. I can't imagine myself doing this to my own son' not that I have thought of having some son someday.
Rebekah looked at me sadly. 'Klaus never met his real father. My mother once wanted to say who he was, but Klaus forbade her to tell him. He thinks that his father never wanted to know him. And despite everything that my father made, Klaus always considered his father'.
My heart ached so much by Klaus when he was a boy.
'Oh, Caroline.' Rebekah breathed 'He's well, you know. There's a difference between the words father and dad. And it's more than three words'.
I tried to mask my pain 'I don't care' but I do care, I knew what it was to have a father who loved me unconditionally. And how much that was good.
Her lips tightened, but she said nothing. Instead, she got up, and when she passed me squeezed my shoulder.
I decided to go take a shower to clear these last few minutes. Got it on my phone and I went to the bath, when I removed my clothes, my phone rang.
It was Klaus.
I looked at the display, trying to decide whether should or not answer. I decided not to. He called me, again.
Three minutes later, I sank into the bathtub, thinking that I had escaped. Rebekah hit in the door 'Klaus asked you to pick up the phone!'
My phone rang and I closed my eyes 'Okay!' I shouted back.
I got on the phone and attended 'What do you want?'
I heard his deep laugh on the other side of the phone 'Hello to you too'.
'What do you want, Klaus? I'm busy at the moment'.
'Rebekah told me that you are in the bath' his voice was low 'I wanted to be there with you, love '.
'Klaus. What. You. Want?'
He laughed. How dare? 'I just want to tell you that I'm going to make a little trip. I didn't want to go away without saying goodbye'.
'You don't own me an explanation'.
'I can't stop thinking about you. After yesterday, you can't denying that there's something between us. You know that will happen eventually'.
'Did I mentioned how arrogant you are?'
'I can still feel your smell and taste, Caroline.'
My stomach turned 'God, Klaus …' I breathed with difficulty.
'When I get back, I want to hear you say that, love. When I kiss your lips, your neck, your chest…'
And then I hung up. I couldn't hear more. The water of my bath was seething. My head fell back against the tub.

Thank you to all that favorite this story and follow it!
In the next chapter, Klaus will return and will see the article about him in the magazine. Will he like the attention he will get (he is single and a good catch)? Caroline will like the attention that Klaus will receive? (maybe a little jealously) Marcel will also make a visit to her. I didn't think about the role of Nolan…
