Thank you to Rising Phoenix-82 for leaving feedback and to everyone who follows/favorites. I appreciate it. In case you were wondering, I probably should have started this story as a T instead of an M. My apologies on that. I know with M rated stories, there's lot of lemons/hot scenes. I do plan on adding them in this story, but I haven't gotten there yet. I hope I didn't disappoint you when I started this Klaroline story with an M rating instead of a T. I'm not sure how other writers write, but I didn't want to rush things. I assure you, this story will be more M very soon. Any questions, feel free to ask. I don't own TVD, but I do own the plot.

Chapter 10
***New Orleans***
(The next day, Klaus is looking out the window in the study. He flashes back to his conversation with Rebekah. He was tempted to have a drink, but knew that wouldn't solve anything. His sister was right that scotch was his drink of choice when his mind wandered to the blondie. He sighs deeply and folds his arms. He briefly looks down as a million thoughts rush through his head. He needed to stop this. He needed to quit thinking of her. He needed to quit fantasizing about her. He fantasized about sliding his fingers through her hair. He fantasized about feeling his fingers on her flawless skin. He fantasized about kissing her plump red lips. Feeling her bubblegum tongue against his)
(He looks up and stares out the window once again. Something needed to be done. He was sick of torturing himself with his thoughts of Caroline. As much as he wanted to give her space to sort out any feelings that she may have for Tyler Lockwood, the wait was killing him. He couldn't stand Lockwood, yet he knew Caroline loved the bastard. He was beginning to believe Rebekah when she made the comment that Tyler had his chance. Klaus couldn't believe the nerve of the arrogant ass. Tyler had free reigns to be with the object of his affection and what does he do? He abandons Caroline! Klaus made a vow that he would track down the idiot and find out what his problem was. That was the second thing he would do. The first thing he would do...is seeing Caroline)
(He knew Caroline had school during the week, so Klaus decided to go to Mystic Falls Friday night and sort everything out with her. Klaus would find out for sure how Caroline felt towards Tyler and how she felt about him)
(Klaus was a selfish son of a bitch. He knew that. He has always been selfish. Everyone knew that, even Caroline. Funny enough, she didn't seem fazed by it. That surprised him. As much as he wanted to believe that Caroline loved him, wanted to be with him, he didn't know for sure. He hasn't spoken to her in months. He knew she would be even more beautiful. If she truly loved Tyler Lockwood, Klaus would step back. Something told him, though, that Caroline doesn't feel for Tyler what she used to feel)
(Klaus wasn't sure if she had any plans Friday. He could call or text her, but he decided to take a chance and surprise her. She doesn't always like surprises. This time, she would get one. It was Wednesday morning. Two more days to go until he came face to face with the woman he adores. He couldn't wait to see her. He loved her sassy attitude and the way she spoke her mind. He chuckles at the fire inside of her)
(Klaus' thoughts are interrupted when he hears his brother come into the room and speaks)
Elijah: "Penny for your thoughts?"
Klaus: "Just thinking."
(Klaus looks at his brother, who is standing beside him)
Klaus: "I didn't know you cared so much."
Elijah: "I may not always show it, but I do care."
Klaus: "I'm surprised you're still here. I thought you would've gone back by now."
Elijah: "You and Rebekah need me here for now."
Klaus: (rolls his eyes) "I don't need a babysitter."
Elijah: (shakes his head) "No, you don't. But you do need your family here."
Klaus: (curiously) "Why do you say that?"
Elijah: "Between Rebekah thinking she knows everything to you having problems with Lockwood and woman problems..." (smirks) "Something tells me you'll need your big brother."
Klaus: (scoffs) "I can handle both perfectly well, thank you very much."
Elijah: (shrugs) "So, what are you going to do?"
Klaus: "Confront the Neanderthal and tell him if he broke the truce, he's a dead man."
Elijah: (raises his eyebrows) "Ooh, something tells me Caroline won't like that plan too much."
Klaus: "Yeah, well, he's an ass and something tells me she feels the same."
Elijah: "True. She may not feel the same towards him like she does towards you, but I highly doubt she wants the man dead."
Klaus: (sighs annoyingly) "We'll see what happens."
Elijah: (chuckles) "You always did have a problem with other people's opinions."
Klaus: (rolls his eyes) "Are you done?"
Elijah: (clears his throat) "What about Miss Forbes? Your plans for her, I mean."
Klaus: "I'm going to Mystic Falls Friday to see her."
Elijah: "Does she know you're coming?"
Klaus: "Nope."
Elijah: (chuckles) "That should be interesting." (shrugs) "Then again, maybe this way, you two can get everything out in the open."
Klaus: "We shall see."
****Mystic Falls University***
(It is Wednesday early afternoon. Caroline said her goodbye's to her classmates before returning to her dorm. When she gets inside, she is momentarily surprised to already see Elena there)
Caroline: (chuckles) "No wonder I didn't see you anywhere downstairs. You're up here."
Elena: (nods) "Yeah. Class ended early."
(Caroline sets her backpack on her bed and then sits down next to it)
Caroline: "Got any plans for the weekend?"
Elena: "Jeremy said he might stop by. Other than that, nothing major. Why?"
(Elena can see the look on her friends' face, which is a smirk)
Elena: (raises her eyebrows) "But something tells me 'we' have a better idea." (chuckles) "Am I right?"
Caroline: "After that dream you ever so 'kindly' got out of me the other day..."
Elena: (laughs) "You didn't exactly mind sharing it in the end."
Caroline: (glares at Elena) "Anyways..." (smiles) "How would you feel about going on a little road trip with me this weekend? Maybe Saturday?"
(Elena cautiously narrows her eyes at her friend)
Elena: "And do I dare ask what 'our' plans will be?"
Caroline: (smirks) "How would you like to go to New Orleans with me?"
(Elena looks at her friend in shock, which Caroline sees)
Caroline: (innocently) "Why, Elena Gilbert, you look shocked."
Elena: (stutters) "That's one way of putting it." (clears her throat) "What brought this on? The other day, you were practically shy when it came to your feelings for Klaus."
Caroline: "To be honest, I don't completely know how I feel. I care for him, yes." (tilts her head) "I'm starting to believe the feelings I have could be love, but I honestly don't know. I would like to know how he feels about me."
Elena: "What happened to wanting him to make the first move?"
Caroline: (determined) "I've decided it's time we sort out our feelings."
Elena: (nods) "Okay, so why do you need me with you when you go to New Orleans?"
Caroline: (winces) "In case I try chicken out at the last minute."
Elena: (laughs) "You think you will? Something tells me you won't."
Caroline: "With you there, I won't."
Elena: "I'm assuming I won't actually be in the room when you and Klaus talk? No offense, Care, but that's not exactly my cup of tea."
Caroline: (rolls her eyes) "Of course you won't." (shrugs) "I'm sure you can find something to do while I'm talking to him."
Elena: (smirks) "Are you sure talking is all you'll end up doing?"
Caroline: (scoffs) "Shut up! I have no plans in sleeping with him."
Elena: (chuckles) "Famous last words."
(Caroline moans in annoyance and rolls her eyes before facing Elena)
Caroline: "Are you gonna come with me or not?"
Elena: (nods & smiles) "Yes, I will."
Caroline: (nods) "Okay."
Elena: "Hopefully Klaus won't mind the unplanned visit."
Caroline: (smirks) "Something tells me he won't."
