The next chapter! I hope you guys enjoy it :)
The next morning Caroline woke up to the sound of music playing. Who the hell was playing music at seven in the morning?
Caroline got out of her bed and went to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she was done with all of that she walked towards the sound of music.
Caroline walked to the living room and saw Katherine dancing around with a bottle of bourbon in her hands.
"It's seven o'clock in the morning Kat and you're already drinking?" Caroline asked as she looked at her friend with a raised eyebrow.
"Hell yeah, I love it in New York. Care to join me?" Kat asked as she continued to dance to the music that was coming from the television.
"I would but I can't." Caroline said with a grin.
"Why not?"
"I have work."
"Eh…"
"Yeah."
"When are you going to introduce me to your best friend's brother?" Katherine said finally jumping on the couch.
"Today if you want."
"Seriously?" Katherine asked excitedly.
"Yeah I could ask Nik to invite Elijah over to the office and you can come with me now if you are done with your little drinking party that is." Caroline stated.
"Okay, give me a few minutes. I have to make myself look presentable." Katherine said with a laugh and headed off to Elena's bedroom.
Caroline got dressed and headed to the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee. She heard her cellphone vibrate and unlocked it.
Need a ride Care Bear? ;). –K.
Caroline smiled at the text message from Nik and quickly replied: Yeah, but do you mind if my friend comes along? –C.
Sure, why not? Who's coming along? Elena or Bonnie? –K.
Katherine. –C.
Who's Katherine? –K.
Elena's twin sis. –C.
Oh okay, yeah be out in like 5 minutes. I am almost there. –K.
Okie dokes J. –C.
Klaus smiled at this because he was glad that it wasn't awkward between them after they shared that wonderful kiss.
"Katherine! Hurry up, Nik is waiting downstairs." Caroline yelled out trying to not wake Elena and Bonnie.
"Coming!" Katherine yelled back and stepped outside. She wore a light blue blouse and a tight black pencil skirt.
"Katherine!?" Caroline asked surprised. She wasn't used to seeing Katherine dressed in business attire.
"Yep," Katherine smiled, "How's it look?"
"Very nice, I am almost certain that Elijah will be drawn to you."
"That's what I am hoping for," Katherine replied. "Did you make me a cup of coffee?"
"I did actually and I made a cup of coffee for Nik as well."
"Aw how sweet. You guys are so married."
"Oh please." Caroline said and looked down because she didn't want Katherine to see that she was blushing.
"Let's go already; I want to see your best friend."
"Okay. Come on." Caroline said handing a travel cup of coffee to Katherine before unlocking the apartment door.
Caroline and Katherine came down and noticed Klaus' car. "That's his car." Caroline said pointing at the car.
"Fancy." Katherine stated.
Caroline looked at Katherine and walked towards the car.
Klaus got out of the car once he saw Caroline approaching with an identical version to Elena.
When Katherine noticed Klaus standing by the car she looked over at Caroline and gave her a mischievous look.
"Well isn't he handsome." Katherine whispered into Caroline's ear.
"Good morning ladies!"
"Good morning." They said in unison.
Caroline walked over to Klaus and gave him the cup of coffee. "For you." She said with a smile.
"I can get used to this." Klaus said looking at Caroline adoringly.
"Good. Meet my friend Kath-."
"Katherine Gilbert." Katherine said interrupting Caroline and extending her hand to Klaus for him to shake it.
"Niklaus Mikaelson. It is a pleasure to meet you." Klaus said nicely to the brunette.
"Likewise. Caroline has told me so much about you." Katherine stated.
"Did she now?" Klaus asked with a smirk forming on his face.
"Yes. She has also told me about your brother, Elijah is it?"
"It is indeed. What has Care Bear here tell you about Elijah?" Klaus asked curiously.
"A few things. Why don't we get in the car and we will continue this conversation. I do not want you guys to be late because of me." Katherine stated.
"Very well, please go on in." Klaus said opening up the door.
Caroline looked between Katherine and Nik and she felt a tug of jealousy. She knew that Katherine wasn't interested in him but she still couldn't help it.
"Are you coming Care Bear?" Klaus asked confused.
"What? Oh yes, of course. Sorry." Caroline said before going into the car.
Klaus looked at Caroline with a confused look but shook it off.
"So as I was saying, Caroline has told me that your brother has just got out of a bad relationship." Katherine said fixing her skirt.
"Yes he did. That girl was not worthy of him." Klaus said angrily.
"No she was not." Caroline said equally angry.
"I'm lost; it seems to me like you two aren't telling me everything." Katherine said looking between Klaus and Caroline confused.
Klaus sighed and said, "The girl that Elijah was dating was named Tatia. She was my girlfriend before Elijah's. Yesterday she came into my office and tried to have her way with me-."
"Wait hold up; have her way with you as in sex?" Katherine asked her eyes widening in surprise.
"Yes." Klaus said.
"What a little whore." Katherine said.
"Exactly." Caroline agreed.
"Well it's a good thing he dumped her ass then."
"It is." Klaus said with a smirk on his face. He liked Katherine already.
"So Nik, I promised Kat here that I would introduce her to Elijah. Will you be seeing him today?"
"I wasn't counting on it, but if you would like I could invite him to the office." Klaus said focusing on the road.
"That would be great." Katherine said.
"The reason why I think Elijah will be good for Katherine is because opposites attract."
"How are we opposites?" Katherine asked.
"Well, you like to party and have fun while Elijah is more composed."
"Is he now?"
"Yep."
"Even better, I've had enough of the frat boys all over the place."
"I love how you already know my brother so well Care; you've known him a day and you could already read him." Klaus said smiling at Caroline through the mirror.
"Caroline has always been able to read people, it's one of her many talents." Katherine said smiling at her best friend.
"Oh stop it you two, I'm blushing." Caroline stated trying to hide her blush.
"You look beautiful when you smile, love." Klaus said honestly.
Katherine looked between the two once more and noticed some sort of tension between them. She was going to make sure that they got together, soon.
"This is where you work!?" Katherine asked smiling up at the skyscraper.
"Yes." Klaus and Caroline said.
"Wow. This skyscraper is huge!"
"Yes it is." Klaus said smiling.
"I love New York!" Katherine said clapping her hands together.
"You and me both, Kat." Caroline said nudging her friend softly.
"Are you ladies ready to go inside?"
"Yep." The girls said in unison.
Once they got to the tenth floor Klaus quickly told Caroline what he needed her to do for the day.
Before he walked into his office he said, "Oh and Caroline please call Elijah and tell him to come to the office at twelve o' clock."
"Okay!" Caroline said.
Once Klaus was in his office Katherine sat down next to Caroline excitedly.
"You guys are meant to be!" She said.
"What?" Caroline asked confused.
"You and Nik are meant to be!"
"What? No we're not. We're friends Kat."
"For now." Katherine said with a playful smirk on her face.
"Forever." Caroline stated.
"You could keep denying it but you know it's true."
"Eh," Caroline said.
"Okay I will leave you to work and I am going to sit right over there." Katherine said pointing at the chair opposite Caroline's.
Caroline finally got time to call Elijah. She dialed his number and he picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?" Elijah asked.
"Hey Elijah, it's Caroline. Nik asked me to invite you over to the office."
"Good morning Caroline, how are you?"
"I am actually pretty great, how about you?"
"I'm good. Anyway Niklaus wants to see me?"
"Yes, if you could be here by twelve it would be great."
"Okay, tell my brother I will be there!"
"Okay great, see you later." Caroline said.
"Goodbye." Elijah said.
Twelve o' clock finally came around and Katherine was getting impatient. She really wanted to meet this guy.
Caroline was sitting at her desk when she heard the phone ring. "Mikaelson's Finance, how may I help you?" Caroline asked sweetly.
"Caroline, it's Sage. I just wanted to let you know that Elijah is on his way up."
"Oh okay, thank you Sage!" Caroline said happily.
"You are very welcome, goodbye Caroline." Sage said.
"Bye!" Caroline said before she hung up on the phone. "He's coming up!" Caroline yelled to Katherine.
"Oh shit. How do I look?"
"Beautiful." Caroline said. "Come on we should go into Nik's office before Elijah gets up here."
"Okay." Katherine said jumping out of the comfy chair.
Caroline knocked on the door and heard Klaus say come in.
"Elijah's coming up." Caroline said to Klaus.
"Wonderful. Come on in." Klaus said.
The girls came in and waited for Elijah.
Elijah knocked on the door and heard Niklaus say come in. Once Elijah had the door open he came in.
He noticed Niklaus, Caroline, and a beautiful curly haired brunette. "Am I interrupting something?" Elijah asked unsurely.
"No you are not, take a seat brother." Klaus said pointing to the chair.
Katherine looked over to Klaus' brother and smiled to herself. He was very handsome, she thought. He looked very good in his grey suit.
"Elijah I want you to meet Caroline's friend from home. Her name is Katherine." Klaus said pointing to Katherine.
Katherine got up and made her way towards Elijah, "Katherine Gilbert, it is a pleasure to meet you." She said sweetly and extended her hand.
"Elijah Mikaelson, it is a pleasure to meet you as well." Elijah said looking up at the beauty before him in awe.
Katherine smiled politely at Elijah and before she let go of his hand she stole a glance at him. His brown hair and kind brown eyes were a turn on already. He looked sophisticated, and she liked that.
"When did you get here Miss. Gilbert?" Elijah asked still smiling up at Katherine.
"I got here yesterday. Please call me Katherine." Katherine said.
"As you wish, Katherine." Elijah said sweetly to Katherine. Her name rolled off his tongue so easily and he liked that.
Klaus and Caroline shared a look and smiled at one another. Caroline gave him a thumb up and he motioned for her to come outside with him.
"We will be right back Elijah and Katherine." Klaus said, before taking ahold of Caroline's hand.
Katherine looked at Caroline confused; she didn't know that they were going to leave her alone with Elijah.
Elijah also looked confusingly at Klaus. He didn't understand why they were leaving him with the beautiful woman.
Once Klaus and Caroline were out of the office they smiled at each other. "He likes her, I can tell." Klaus stated.
"Does he?"
"Yes! I haven't seen him look at anyone like that in a long time." Klaus said happily. He really did want his brother to be happy and he thought Katherine would make Elijah happy.
"We should totally become matchmakers."
"Very funny, Care Bear." Klaus said playfully nudging Caroline.
"I'm serious! Think of it, we could become the next eHarmony."
"Yeah, no not going to happen."
"Eh." Caroline pouted.
"Don't pout Caroline; I love it when you smile not pout."
"Fine." Caroline said smiling at her best friend.
