Hey Guys!

here is chapter 3.

I'm going on vacation and there's no internet there. So i'll update as soon as i get back! Gonna miss everyone!

Chao

"You look beautiful, as always," Tyler said. Caroline smiled widely showing her pearl white teeth, blushing slightly.

"You look... um... great too," she said with a light laugh. He was wearing a normal t-shirt and ripped jeans. She couldn't complement him much on that but he was her boyfriend. She didn't want to spoil this evening by arguing about his effort to dress well for a date.

"Shall we leave for our date," he asked lending her his arm. She took it happily but it reminded her of the time after Graduation when Klaus lent her his arm and they walked all the way to her house. How he went to New Orleans for a while and now he was back. She shook her head trying not to think about Klaus. Your on a date with your boyfriend! What's the matter with you!? she kicked herself mentally.

The drive to the Mystic Park was pretty quiet. Few words were exchanged, all questions asked by Caroline and the answers she got from him were quickly answered unenthusiastically.

"So, what did you do while you were gone? Where did you go?" She asked curiously. He shrugged.

"Well, I spent my nights at different hotels in New York. Most of the time I spent my days touring the place, in the afternoon I ate at a restaurant, evenings I spent at a bar and nights ate at the same restaurant," he said dropping the subject quickly. He didn't want Caroline to know that he enjoyed it there more than he did here. But he didn't say anything because he knew it would ruin their date night.

Caroline wanted to ask more but she didn't because she could see how he was trying to make her drop the subject. The rest of the ride they spent in silence.

When they finally reached Mystic Park, Tyler parked his car in the parking lot and got off the car. He then opened Caroline's door and she stepped out thanking him. He locked his car and Caroline took his hand. He smiled and they started walking towards the bench near the fountain. They sat there and Tyler sighed. He rely wanted to go back to New York. So he thought of convincing Caroline to let him go back there. It's worth a shot he thought to himself.

"Caroline, I'm gonna be honest with you. I think it's a bad idea that I came back," he said. She looked at him completely confused.

"Wh-why would say that?" She asked waiting for an answer.

Tyler thought for a moment about what he was going to say next. "Come with me to New York. We can stay there and it'll be fun."

Caroline looked at him with more confusion. "Where is this coming from?"

"I'm scared that Klaus just let me come back, I mean it's just odd," Tyler said actually meaning what he said. Why would Klaus do that?

"I don't know, Care. I still think he's up to something. I mean, why would he just let me come back? He sent me away because he found out about the sire bond! I think he's setting a trap for me. Maybe I should go away."

Caroline was stiff. He was talking about why Klaus let him go. He didn't know that Klaus loved her and that it was her sake and her happiness. She didn't want to tell him because it would break his heart she tried to push the subject away quickly.

"Tyler, would you please just let it go! He let you come back and now we're together and that's all that matters," said Caroline with a small smile. Not wanting to talk more about Klaus.

"I still don't think me being here is a good idea," he said faking panic. He was a bit suspicious about Klaus's motives though.

"Tyler calm down! Klaus won't hurt you, okay? He let you come back after all!" said Caroline with confidence.

"How do you know he won't hurt me? How could he not? He's a monster," Tyler said, clearly angry at Klaus.

Caroline became sad suddenly because she didn't think that Klaus was a monster and she didn't want to hear Tyler or anyone say that. Why was she thinking like this? "Stop. I... I just know, okay? Come on, forget about him! Lets take a walk and then go grab something to eat at the Grill. Just me and you. Sound okay?" Caroline asked with the brightest smile.

"Yeah... okay," Tyler said in defeat and kissed her. He WILL go back to New York. He promised himself that. No matter how long it takes to properly convince her, he would go back.

They walked towards the Grill after 15 minutes of walking in the Park. It was quite a romantic walk, she thought, hand in hand her head on his shoulder.

When they entered the Grill Tyler told her to find them seats and excused himself to go to the bathroom. Caroline smiled and nodded okay. She was removing her jacket when she saw Klaus sitting on bar stool with a drink in his hand. That was the first time since she had seen him since that night of Graduation. He was wearing his usual attire - a long sleeves Henley shirt, dark grey jeans, a pair of brown boots and a black leather jacket. She also couldn't help but notice that there was a brunette standing next to standing next to him. He was smiling at the girl. Caroline felt a bit angry. She wanted to see who the girl was. She walked over to a seat easy for her to spy on them. The girl turned around to leave and Caroline saw her face. It was that werewolf bitch that snapped her neck once when they were fighting at Tyler's house. It was HAYLEY! She was happy to see that Hayley looked angry when she turned around. But then she stopped, smiled and turned back to Klaus. Caroline felt her face go red. She was really pissed that Hayley was here. And what surprised her the most was that Klaus was so interested in what she was saying and didn't even notice that she and Tyler were here. The she snapped away from their direction and saw Tyler coming towards her.

She put on a smile and he asked, "so are you ready to order?"

She hasn't even looked at the menu because she was spending too much time spying on Klaus and Hayley.

"No, I didn't get the menu yet," she said. When Tyler called to the waiter and asked for two menus, she snuck a quick glance at the two who still hadn't noticed her and Tyler.

When they finished ordering and when the food had arrived, they started talking about school and Graduation and what Tyler felt like being outside of Mystic Falls for the first time. Throughout all of these conversations she tried very hard not to look at Klaus with Haley but that wasn't working out very well. She kept fidgeting in her seat trying not to be looking at them from time to time with the corner of her eyes. Why was she feeling like this? She wasn't supposed to care about what Klaus did. He was her friend, that's all. She fought the feeling and tried to pay all her attention to what Tyler was saying. But was it working? Not really.

"... So that's half of it," Tyler said and she snapped out her thoughts.

"Are you okay?" Tyler asked. Caroline looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine. I just um..." Caroline tried to think of something but couldn't think of anything to say, "... Never mind, you were saying?"

"Okay... Um yeah, so then I went to..." Tyler continued talking but she wasn't really listening. She looked at the bar and saw Hayley moving to stand in front of Klaus and that he was smiling. Caroline was becoming angrier and angrier. She wanted to snap that girls neck so bad as revenge. But she controlled herself.

"Care? Care are you even listening?" Tyler asked. He was not angry.

Caroline looked at Tyler apologetically. "Sorry, I just felt dizzy for a second there" She lied.

"Oh, the. Maybe we should go home. You should rest." Tyler said concerned.

"No no I'm fine. I'm a vampire, I can handle a little headache," she chuckled. She promised herself that she would deal with Klaus tomorrow face to face and have a good time with Tyler today. She continued eating and listened to what Tyler was saying. But could she really have a good time knowing that Klaus was 5 meters away from her, with Hayley?

Well there will be Klaroline interaction in either the next chapter or the one after!

i'll update when i get back!

Thnx for all the good reviews!
