It's been a week since they saw each other, Camille was busy burring herself into her books, and long shifts at the bar, her nights were the same; full of TV shows and pop corn like any regular lonely and slightly depressed girl, meanwhile Klaus was trying to please everyone around him, including his disapproving siblings, Rebekah seemed to escape the house whenever she could seeing that she liked to roam the city occasionally, moreover Elijah was head over heels taking care of everyone, especially Hayley, who had captured his full commitment and attention, Klaus had found himself bored with how his nights usually ended, a bottle of whiskey in one hand, and a tumbler in the other, vampires in the French carter liked to throw futile parties to lure the innocent victims, and as strangely may that seem, Klaus didn't take pleasure in spending his evenings controlling the chaos of illiterate, mind numbing people, so a name of a person popped in his head with fine colors, so he changed his reeked outfits, and headed to a place now was too valued to him.

Camille found herself wearing a tight, body-hugging black dress that was elegantly draped to her knees, with silver flat sandals; she arranged her hair behind her ears, letting the strands fall loosely behind her head, she also wore a necklace that was given to her by her brother. She rushed herself to the kitchen, and opened the oven to pull the fresh baked chocolate cake, she almost lost her senses at the delicious smell knowing that by the end of the night, there won't be any piece left, only crumbs and icing, all of a sudden her phone beeped with a text message so she went straight to the bedroom drawer to read it when a mysterious shadow appeared.

"Klaus…God! One day you'll give me a heart attack, why can't you use the front door like any civilized person?" she soon blurted out while putting her hand on her rapid chest, Klaus laughed then apologized "am sorry love, but I didn't want to be seen, I couldn't risk your reputation, could I" Camille walked passed him to the kitchen "well I seriously doubt that you care, if you were, you would announce your presence first" her words making no impact on him but amusement "again love, I whole heartedly apology" Camille smiled at him insinuating her approval then opened the fridge reaching for her fresh baked delight, Klaus looked at her quizzically" I see you're all dolled up…am I holding you back from a date?" he knew that coming at such ill prepared times was a habit of his, and he certainly didn't want her confirming it.

"No, it's not a date, a bunch of my schoolmates were coming to discuss our latest school project, then they suddenly canceled on me, so voila!" she explained while applying the chocolate icing on the cake, and liking the spoon completely dry, Klaus leaned himself on the corner of the table "well let me rephrase that again then! Why did you felt the need to dress up? If you don't mind me asking dear" Camille could feel the condescending grin that formed on his lips so she responded defensively "I think am allowed to dress up whenever I feel like it…and my schoolmates all happen to be wealthy elites, and by the way it's none of your damn business". Klaus adoringly stared at her "I think you look lovely dear" knowing a compliment would easily defuse her self-protective attitude.

"Do you want a piece? It's my mom's recipe, and it's that good" she said while splitting the cake into eight pieces, she took two and put one in each plate, she lifted the plate to Klaus's hand while he was in giggle fists on her change of manner, he lifted the plate to his nose appreciating the divine smell "you know love, vampires don't eat food, basically we don't need it" his words seemed to offend her while she sprung her hand demanding the plate back, he tucked away the plate to his side nodding "alright love, I'll have a taste, but am sure it tastes as good as it smells" after seeing his first bite she headed to the couch, sitting across the TV, and pouring herself a glass of wine, and for a particular reason, she knew it wasn't Klaus's favorite, so she left the other glass empty.

"May I sit, I am feeling rather tired" he sat next to her not minding her retort, he turned to face her "so may I ask you why have you been avoiding me this past week, I even saw you change your regular path in the French carter" . Camille shook her head in denial "no…I..Haven't been avoiding you, it's just am really busy" she let herself sunk more into the sofa, and no matter how she tried to think of reasons; she couldn't find one to satisfy his inquisitiveness, since their kiss, she couldn't control how her heart quivered at the idea of him being that close, even his current proximity is making her flushed, and out of place.

"if I didn't know better, I would think you've been avoiding me for that kiss love…but don't worry dear, you're a quite the good kisser" he confessed while tilting his head to the side to have a better view of her reaction, and he wasn't surprised when she almost choked on her full-mouthed bite, she rapidly reached for the wine and gulped down the entire glass in one sip "what a subtle way to bring that up Klaus, am sure you're proud, plus it was just a momentarily lapse of judgment" she cleared her throat then continued to pour herself other glass of wine.

"Is it love? I can't believe it knowing the effect I have on you" he said while placing his thumb on the corner of her lips, tracing down the splash of wine to her cheek, and having his powerful hearing skills just confirmed his assumption based on the wild rhythm of her beating heart, she took his hand out of her face and put it gently on the side while he watched her in awe, she stood up from her seat and undoubtedly assured him "I don't know what effect you think you have on me, but it's definitely not a Stockholm syndrome" her words pressed him to stand up to face her once more this time wide-eyed and more determined to break her.

"I've let you into my life, I've showed you how badly I've been treated my whole existence, isn't it enough for a simple amount of compassion" Klaus's eyes were fixated on her face, desperate to read her expression, but she only looked calm and poised when she admitted "don't be fooled love, am a devil in disguise, remember?" she waited for him to respond but then continued "am not going to be fooled by your charm and astonishing intellect, I need to stay away from you, you would only harm me, and am not short on that these days if you've noticed ok?" Klaus seemed frozen in place then uttered somehow defeated "alright!"

Camille's knowledge of psychology flew out of the window trying to interpret what he was saying, however seconds later she demanded an answer "alright…alright what? Are you finally going to let me be" Klaus sped in front of her, merely inches separating them again "fine love, I'll try not to break you in my path, just give me a chance… haven't I deserved it after this worn-out years of misery". Camille again found herself standing still, thoughts raging in her mind, she didn't know what to make out of the situation, and she could only focus on his adoring plea for forgiveness.

Out of nowhere, he lifted his hand up to gently cup her rosy cheek, he noticed her eyelids fluttering at his soft touch; he felt Goosebumps running through his body when her warm breath tickled the sensitive nerves of his arm's downside, he then inched his body even closer when she tilted her head, so she could rest it on his palm. Finally here they were both waiting for the other to move, she placed her hand on his chest as the room was charged with intensity and desire…

Knock..Knock..Knock

Quiet ramps on the door startled them both, yet no one dared to split first, then the knocking resumed it self only this time more aggressive and forceful "Camille… I know you're in there, just open up, I need to talk to you" those words provoked them both to let go, dry mouthed and distressed, Camille headed to the door then turned back momentarily, but Klaus was already gone.
