Thank you again for your nice reviews and all the story alert... It means a lot that you like my story.

I would like to point out that this chapter is NOT beta reading because my beta let me down. So please remember that english is not my first language and please be nice with the grammar mistakes.

I don't own anything in TVD.

Two months later….

Caroline rung the mansion's bell, feeling literally sick. What if he wouldn't let her explain herself? What if he just slammed the door on her face? What if he just killed her the moment he would open the door?

But it was too late to back down. She needed to talk to him and most of all, she needed to see him. After unsuccessfully waiting for a while, she opened the door and invited herself until the living room. Klaus was there, his back turned on her, staring at the fireplace.

She knew he had heard her from the moment she was in front of the door, and the fact that he didn't speak was really a bad sign. Her stomach still feeling really tight, Caroline didn't dare speak first and waited uncomfortably for him to make the first move.

"Well, Caroline, when someone does not open the door, it's usually means that you're not welcome to come inside" he said coldly.

Caroline's heart clenched. He was mad and he had every reason to be. Actually, she was surprise he didn't already throw her by the window. But she had come for a reason, and even if it had to end by him yelling at her, she had to tell what she came for.

"I'm sorry Klaus, truly sorry. I know I shouldn't have left things like this between us but I needed time, cant' you understand that?" she pleaded.

Klaus finally turned to face her, his face as unreadable as usual.

"I can understand that, but two whole months without even a single word are a little bit extreme, aren't they?"he retorted bitterly.

Caroline was feeling the frustration building up and she started rambling, as always when she was nervous.

"Extreme? You think it was extreme? You kissed me for god sake! Kiss me! What I was supposed to do? I never thought things were like this between us, you caught me out off guard, I wasn't prepared for that and…"

Klaus cut her off, his voice turning icy.

"I see your point Caroline. Actually, I saw it two months ago when you run away and never answered any calls, and refused to talk to me once since then."

"I wasn't ready for that Klaus. I couldn't stop thinking about the things you had done and I couldn't stop thinking about my friends' reaction about that and it was totally overwhelming and it scared the hell out of me" rambled Caroline again but with a pleading tone this time.

"Again, I got that. Why are you here now? "Klaus asked dryly.

Caroline took a deep breath. Even if technically she didn't need to breathe, she was feeling like she could use some air right now. It was now or never.

"Because in the last two months I couldn't stop one second thinking about you. I fell asleep with you in my head, I woke up with you in my head, I went to school with you in my head, I talked to my friends with you in my head. You were everywhere, all the time and I can't stand it anymore. "

Klaus was still absolutely unreadable. Nothing had changed in his face or in his eyes.

"So what's your point?" he asked.

Caroline decided just to be blunt. After all, it was a thing he liked about her, right?

"The point is I missed you and I don't wanna be apart from you anymore. I wasn't ready to admit it when you kissed me but I am now".

Again, no reaction came in his face even if he was still staring intensely at her.

Trying to swallow a big lump in her throat, Caroline slowly approached him and stood right in front of him.

"May I come into your arms?" she asked shyly, trying to keep a steady voice but failing pitifully.

Klaus kept staring at her but still not saying anything. Caroline held his gaze for a few moments and felt her heart sink. Of course he was not saying anything. It was too late. She was too late. She had humiliated him by rejecting him, and he was not gonna give her another chance. Klaus was definitely not a man of second chances. Caroline looked at him a few more seconds then she understood that all her hopes were crushed. Her face fell, as her heart hurt her like nothing had done before.

"Fair enough" she whispered before slowly turned away from him, tears starting to roll down her cheeks. She took two steps away from him before feeling a rough grip on her wrist. In less than one second, she was crushed against him, one of his arms gripped on her waist and the other one behind her neck.

"You are not going anywhere" he whispered huskily into her hair.

The feeling of relief overwhelmed Caroline. Slightly shaking, she put her arms behind his neck and scooted herself as close as him as she could, trying desperately to put all her feelings in that embrace. By molding her body against his, she was trying to tell him how much she had missed him and how sorry she was.

Klaus couldn't believe that she had came back. He thought he had lost her after kissing her. He had spent the last two months desperately thinking about her. Her smile, her eyes, her warmth, her way to say his name, all those things that always had amazed him. He had tried to keep focused on all his family's troubles, but the stunning blonde girl was still in the back of his mind and it was driving him crazy.

He couldn't believe that she was here, in his arms, so close to him that he could feel all the curves of her body. He inhaled deeply her scent and sighed with relief. God he had missed her to death! He was usually the last person on earth to forgive anything or anyone, but Caroline had got so much under his skin than he was willing to make an exception for her, even if he was cursing himself for that. He tried to remember the last time he had felt something like this in his very long life but he couldn't think of anything. Just looking at her made him happy, so having her in his arms and breathing her scent was heaven. Caroline slowly pulled back a little so she could look at him in the eyes. She took his strong jaw in her hands and smiled shyly at him.

"May I kiss you?" she asked softly.

Klaus couldn't help but smile.

"Try me" he whispered.

Caroline raised herself on the tip of her toes and slowly pressed her lips against his, not daring being too pushing. The kiss was tender and shy, as she wasn't sure of his reaction even if he had allowed her to do it. Klaus had let her make the first move because she had asked for it, but he was the Original Hybrid after all. He couldn't let things escaped to his control for too long. He tightened his grip around her and tangled one of his hands into her hair to make her lift her face. With a low growl, he hungrily deepened the kiss, and he started kissing her like he was starving.

Caroline moaned when his tongue touched hers and at this very moment, she stopped thinking. She just lost herself in the kiss, and she couldn't think about anything which wasn't Klaus' lips or hands. He was holding her so tight that she probably would have bruises tomorrow but she couldn't care less. She had always thought about Tyler as an excellent kisser, but she was starting to understand that being more than one thousand year old gave a lot of more advantages than just strength and speed. The way Klaus was kissing her was absolutely blow minding. The way he was devouring learnedly her lips, the way his tongue was playing with hers, the way he was sliding his hands from her hair to her lower back, the way he was holding her so she could feel all the hard muscles of his body was mesmerizing. Her knees felt suddenly weak and she had to tighten her grip on his neck to steady her.

Klaus was the first to break the kiss, way too soon for Caroline. "Don't stop" she mumbled against his lips. Klaus kissed her once more and softly smiled at her while cupping her face.

"Caroline, I need to know you're not going to change your mind. There is no going back after that, sweetheart. What about your friends?"

Caroline looked in Klaus' eyes. All she could see was sincerity and concern. Concern about her, and about her answer. She had learned to know him on the past few months, in a way that nobody else did. He had showed her a side of him that nobody else knew. Of course he had done terrible things, and she could never forget that. But there was something about him that she couldn't help to be attracted to in spite of everything. He made her feel like he always understood the way she felt and it was priceless. She truly and deeply loved all of her friends, and she would have died for any of them but none of them could understand her like Klaus did. They all had their own problems to deal with, and their own particularity, doppelganger, witch or hybrid but she was the only one who was a vampire. Of course, there were Stefan and Damon but Stefan was way too preoccupied with his own problems to be there for her. And Damon never gave a damn about her, so technically she was alone. Until Klaus. He really had helped her through the whole "being a vampire" thing and she was grateful for that. He understood her worries, her feelings, her doubts because he had had the same at least once in his lifetime. Over the months, she had learnt to be comfortable with him until the point she now blindly trusted him. The way she had missed him over the past few months just made her realized, that some way along the road, she had fell for him. The thought had first scared her and had overwhelmed her with guilt. How could she fell for a monster? Someone who killed Jenna, someone who killed Elena, someone who turned her boyfriend into a hybrid? All that thoughts had panicked her the first time he had kissed her, and had made her run away. But she had spent two months aching for him and she couldn't deny anymore the way she felt about him. The comfort he could provide her was priceless. The way he could make her feel was amazing. She was ready to fight for him, and to come clean with her friends by making them understand what he represented to her.

"I'm not going to change my mind, I give you my word. I'm going to do my best so my friends can understand the way I feel about you. It won't be easy but maybe if they see I am happy, I have a chance to make them accept us."

"So is there an us?" Klaus asked softly.

Caroline smiled. "I want to" she whispered. "You know, I don't know exactly how it happened or when it happened, but somewhere along the road, I fell for you."

Klaus felt his heart unclench with relief. She will never know how much he had waited for those words, and how much he had been desperate to hear them.

"That's a good thing because somewhere along the road, I fell for you too" he confessed.

Waves of happiness running through her body, Caroline resumed their passionate kiss. Once again, he took the control of the situation by pinning her against the wall, so he could press his body roughly against hers. Caroline bucked her hips against his, to feel as much of him as possible and the move made them both moan. He kept kissing her like he was starving, devouring her lips, invading her mouth, ravishing her body with his hands, making her shiver. Caroline desperately gripped her hands behind his neck to pull him closer. She was glad that her body was pressed between him and the wall, otherwise she would have gone to pieces like jelly. In one little movement he torn off her top and throw it away. When his hands touched her bare skin and came cupping her breasts, Caroline melted totally in his arms. Her breath became erratic as he was sliding his hands all along her body. "I want you" she whispered against his ear," I want you now."

Klaus didn't need to be told twice. He made her wrap her legs around his waist so he could lift her from the floor. Using his vampire speed, he carried her until his bedroom. The next thing she knew, she was lying on his bed with him on the top of her, and his lips more impatient than ever.
