Hi guys! I was so pleased with the reviews I received! I know this chapter is small but today I didn't have much time. Let's make a deal?! If I have a considerable number of reviews I promise to post another chapter this week!

Sorry for grammar mistakes (I know it has some)... Enjoy the chapter!


Alone at home, I decided to go run. Since I had been sick I hadn't run. I missed the adrenaline that I have when I run.

'Caroline, right?'

I looked at the guy who had stopped in front of me. Ah, Marcel. The second single golden who had been flirting with me silently, since the incident that resulted from my panic attack. 'Yes?' I asked casually.

Marcel smiled sweetly at me and I moaned inwardly. A: Cute boys were not my type. B: I already had my full hands with a English man. 'Is dangerous you run at this time, moreover, alone.. I called to your office and they told me that you were sick.'

He was watching me. It was a little scary. 'Uh huh'. I continued to run.

He moved on his feet, clearly unprepared for my reply, meddling in my operation 'Relieve energy'. 'Look, I was thinking that maybe we could have dinner, any day?'

I stopped running. I gave him a dry smile, without showing the teeth, clamping my lips.

'Thank you. But I'm going out with a person'. And I went out from there before he could respond, giving a slight smile of farewell.

While I was on the way home, I reminded myself about Rebekah. This was her first meeting since that fiasco with Damon, and she seemed very nervous when she came out.

When I entered in the apartment, I saw the light on in the room door. It seemed that Rebekah had already arrived. Wanting to make sure she was okay, I pushed the door quietly and I stopped completely petrified.

The only light was lit the lamp in the back of the couch, and lying in the quiet darkness, body out on the couch with his feet hanging under the wedding because of his height, was Klaus.

His eyes were closed. He looked so young. It was strange to see him like that. He was more mature, serious, responsible and decided. But in that way that he was, it could be confused with someone younger. He was far less daunting as it was and I liked it.

Open on the table was a folder, a pair of loose documents. The suit jacket was in the chair, his shoes on the floor beside the coffee table, and an empty mug among the papers.

He came here to work?

More than a little confused, I left the room and shut the door. I thought he and Damon had left ...

'Hi'

I turned to find Rebekah against the door of her room, still using the same dress that she had bought for the date.

'How was your date?'

Crossing her arms over her chest, Rebekah leant on the counter with a very unhappy expression on her face. What happened?'. I ask.

'Damon happened'.

My eyes widened. 'Tell me'.

'Klaus called me before leaving to say that he was going to work until later, but Damon was free and was wondering if I'd like to go get something to eat with him. I told Klaus to speak with Damon and tell him that I had a date tonight'.

'And. .. '

'He called me four times during the date'.

I tried to swallow my laughter without success. 'Damon did what?'

'And my date went away. He told me that he was tired, but I could see that he was mad because my phone kept ringing'

'Wait' I looked serious to her 'You answered every time that Damon called you?'

She blushed 'Is rude to ignore someone'.

'Rebekah, be honest. You love the idea of you being on a date with another guy and Damon be crazy with this'.

'He deserves'.

'You're brilliant! Wouldn't it be easier you count to Klaus what is happening between you guys?'

'No! Damon does not want to run the risk of losing Klaus' friendship'. She nodded sadly. 'Talking about him. When I got home, I found Klaus here doing his work. He said that he was expecting you'.

'I go to my bed now. Do the same'. I said to her.

'Wait! You will leave Klaus there sleeping?'

'Yes. Let him stay there!' I had asked some space, and he was already there. He would wake up with a stiff neck.

I took a bath and went to bed.

…..

I felt a bit more relaxed on Friday in my work. Klaus made me a favor and gave me space. Rebekah came out with a few friends and invited me, but I didn't want to find Klaus in a social situation.

When I got home from work, he was not there, and when I woke up, I was alone.

I took the trick that was Saturday to do some of my work, so I sat in front of my laptop.

'You know that you should buy some glasses'.

I turned in my chair with the familiar voice, Klaus was relaxed against my door in his jeans and t-shirt. 'Glasses?'.

He nodded, looking for my laptop. 'You were almost on top of the screen'.

'Well, my father had told me the same once. He told me he was going to choose one pair with me, but he died before he could'.

I froze. My heart sped up with my words echoing back to me. Why did I say that?

Klaus stoop with my reaction and then he shrugged.

'You only would eventually lose the glasses'.

He was giving me a way out. My smile was a little weak when I replied. 'Hey, I'm not so distracted'.

He laughed and I thought he was coming to kiss me. To my surprise, he walked around the bed to my bedside table and picked up the photo of my parents. 'This is your father?'.

I looked away, my shoulders look tense 'Yes'.

'You have the same eyes. Your mother is also very beautiful. Have you talked with her since you came here?'.

Pain dug his claws on my chest 'No' I muttered and then I changed the subject as I ran to the door 'So what are you doing here?'.

I heard his steps speeding up behind me and I felt his arm around me, his palm on my stomach as he pulled me back against him, my head resting on his chest. He whispered in my ear 'I thought I could come here and grab you and Rebekah for family lunch. I wanted to make sure that you appeared. Don't want you to miss lunch and dinner at my apartment later'.

'We don't want that to happen'.

'Oh, sorry' Rebekah voice separated us. She was at the door of my room 'Could you close the door when you are in the 'Friends with benefits' zone?'. She continued 'The taxi has arrived, shall we?'

I picked up my coat and went out the door. We were about to close the door when I heard a cellphone ringing.

'Hello' I heard the response of Klaus and I turned to see him. He had the serious face. 'What? Now?' he sighed, passing the hand on his hair as I cast a look 'I'll be there soon'. He put the phone back in his back pocket with a frustrated groan. 'I had a problem at work. I have to take care of that'. His eyes looked at my for a moment and I saw his frustration. 'Rebekah, please say I'm sorry to mother' after he looked at me 'It seems that our plans for dinner has to be cancelled'.

'Oh, okay'.

'You don't seem disappointed' he threw me a smile 'We'll have to find some time this week'.

Smiling Klaus leaned over and gave a quick kiss on Rebekah's cheek. And then he passed me 'Caroline' he pulled me and kissed me. His lips were soft, I deepened the kiss into something wild, lush and wet. God, the man know how to kiss. I could still feel his perfume, It took me to the limit and made me forget where we were. Suddenly, I heard Rebekah.

'I think you better stop give show'. Klaus separated me and I saw two photographers behind a corner taking pictures. I didn't believe that this could be happening to me. Now our pictures would appear and all would know that we were together. I'd look like a journalist who became involved with the respondent. I looked up at Klaus and saw that he was launching threatening looks to the reporters, and then he shouted 'You already have the photo you wanted? You can go away, Now!'.

The photographers were gone. Klaus looked at me, and should have seen my face of panic because then he grabbed my hand and hugged me, his thumb gently dragging along the back of my hand. 'I'll try to give a way for the photos never get out'.

I was looking at, after he was gone. I looked at my hand, the skin still tingle.

'It's just an arrangement'.

'What?' I looked to Rebekah, I gave her a incredulous look.

'Only an arrangement' she nodded and entered the cab 'If you want to believe that ...'

'I?' I shrugged and entered in the cab behind her 'Do you think that the photos will appear in internet?'.

'I don't know, Care. Let us hope that Klaus will be able to make them disappear'.

But he couldn't.
