The next update to this fanfic! Sorry it took so long :/
Enjoy!
Katherine and Elijah looked at one another because they didn't know what to say.
"So, you are a friend of Caroline's?" Elijah asked.
"Yes, I am." Katherine said and smiled politely at Elijah.
"How long have you known one another?" Elijah asked trying to make conversation.
"We have been friends ever since we were ten years old." Katherine said smiling at that.
"Really? So you and Caroline are the same age?"
"Yes we are. We're both twenty three."
"Ah, I see." Elijah said smiling.
"How old are you?" Katherine asked.
"I am twenty seven." Elijah replied.
"Interesting… Caroline has said so many nice things about you."
"She did?"
"Yep," Katherine said with a smile.
"Caroline didn't mention you to me." Elijah said and itched his eyebrow.
"Yeah, I know she didn't. I just got here yesterday." Katherine repeated.
"I know." Elijah said remembering their conversation just a mere few minutes ago.
"Yes, I must say I like it here already." Katherine said.
"I'm sure you do. New York is a beautiful place."
Katherine nodded in agreement. She liked Elijah because conversation seemed to come easy when she was with him.
Klaus and Caroline were leaning against the office door because they were trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Caroline smiled at Klaus happily because it seemed to be working.
"Looks like their conversation started with you." Klaus whispered into his friend's ear.
Caroline looked at him with her eyes lit up. She was excited because they seemed to be hitting it off.
"They are so going to get married!" Caroline whispered a little louder than she meant to.
"Let's not get carried away. They still need to go on their first date." Klaus said smiling at Caroline.
"I'm getting carried away because I think they are soul mates." Caroline stated.
"Like me and you?" Klaus asked before he could stop himself. After Klaus got those words out he cursed himself for being such an idiot.
Caroline looked at him with her eyes widened because she couldn't believe he just said that. He thought that they were soul mates?
"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking Caroline." Klaus said looking down at the floor.
"You think we're soul mates?" Caroline breathed out.
Klaus put his hand on the back of his neck embarrassed but nodded anyway.
"Why do you think we're soul mates?" Caroline asked, obviously not giving up on this subject anytime soon.
He walked towards the chair and Caroline followed him. They sat next to each other and he took her hand in his.
"I don't know… Gosh this is so embarrassing," Klaus said fidgeting with his other hand.
"Tell me, please." Caroline said trying to reassure Klaus that everything was okay.
"Okay. Here goes nothing. I think we are soul mates because after 15 years of being apart we found our way back to each other. I didn't think that I would ever see you again and that made me really upset. You know I still have that letter you sent me all those years ago? When I was in London I loved it their but I wondered what would have happened if you were there for me." Klaus rambled on and on about why he thought they were soul mates.
Caroline smiled at this and said, "I was really sad when you left, Nik. I didn't want you to leave but I let you leave because I knew how badly you wanted a real family, with loving parents and siblings. I missed you and it sucked. I also have that letter you sent to me before you left Virginia and sometimes I read it over and over again and I know that sounds pathetic but it's just what I did to remember that I had a real best friend that cared about me when no one else really did."
When Caroline finished what she wanted to say she took a deep breath out.
Klaus was looking at her with amazement in his eyes. When Klaus was growing up he would read her letter all the time and he would draw her all the time.
"I want to show you something, Care Bear." Klaus said.
"What do you want to show me?"
"One of my passions,"
"Okay. Where is it?" Caroline asked.
"At my apartment," Klaus replied.
"Oh, okay. So why don't you just bring it to work tomorrow and I will see what this passion of yours is." Caroline said playfully.
"No. I want you to come with me right now." Klaus said.
"Now? We can't. Only half the day is over and Katherine and Elijah are in your office." Caroline said.
"Please? I'll ask Elijah to take Katherine home when they are done talking and it isn't really that busy today." Klaus said.
"Okay I guess." Caroline said with a smile on her face.
"I'll be right back. Why don't you grab your purse and then we'll head out." Klaus said before walking towards his office.
Katherine and Elijah were still talking when they heard a knock on the door.
"Guys, it me, can I just come in for a minute?" Klaus asked.
"Yes!" They both said.
Klaus entered the office and noticed that Katherine and Elijah were sitting closer to each other and were smiling at one another like love-struck teenagers.
Klaus felt out of place in his office. "I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, but Elijah may I speak to you for a minute?"
"Yes of course," Elijah said before he got out of his seat, "I'll be right back." Elijah added and smiled at Katherine.
Klaus and Elijah were standing off to the side and Katherine was smiling like an idiot to herself.
"What is it, brother?"
"Caroline and I have to go. Can you make sure that Katherine gets home alright?"
"Of course, but where are you two going?"
"My apartment," Klaus said.
"Really?" Elijah said with a smirk.
"Shut up… Not because of that." Klaus said glaring at his older brother.
"Okay, sure. You two lovebirds have fun!" Elijah said and patted Klaus on the shoulder.
Katherine looked over when she heard Elijah call Klaus and Caroline lovebirds and she smirked playfully at him.
Elijah noticed Katherine smirk and he chuckled.
"Okay… I'm going to go now." Klaus said before leaving his office.
"All set?" Caroline asked.
"Yes. Let's go." Klaus said and extended his hand for her to take with her own hand.
Once they were outside Klaus opened the car door for Caroline and then closed it before getting into the driver's seat.
"Promise me you won't laugh when I show you one of my passions." Klaus said as he drove through the Manhattan streets.
"I can't promise you anything Nik but I promise I won't laugh in front of you if it is funny." Caroline stated.
"That's good enough."
"What are you going to show me anyway?"
"You're going to have to wait and see, sweetheart." Klaus said.
"Eh…" Caroline said and leaned back on the seat.
A few minutes later they were standing next to a huge skyscraper.
"This is your apartment!?" Caroline asked surprised.
"Yes. This apartment is one of the smaller ones that I own." Klaus countered.
"You own more than one apartment in Manhattan?" Caroline asked surprised
"Yep." Klaus said with a smirk.
"Holy shit." Caroline breathed.
Klaus held the door open for Caroline and she went in. He took out his keys and put it through the lock.
"Hello Mr. Mikaelson." The young man sitting in the lobby said.
"Hello Jonathon, how are you today?"
"Very good, thank you for asking sir," Jonathon said.
"No problem. If you'll excuse us," Klaus said.
"Of course. Goodbye!" Jonathon said.
"Bye!" Klaus said.
"He looks like a nice guy." Caroline said once they were in the elevator.
"He is, still so young but he is mature."
"That's good." Caroline said.
"Yes it is." Klaus said before stepping out of the elevator with Caroline.
Once they entered his apartment Caroline's eyes widened.
"This is your apartment?"
"Yeah." Klaus said smiling.
"It is really very beautiful here."
"Thank you Care, come on." Klaus said and Caroline followed him to the room where Klaus was taking her.
When Klaus opened the door Caroline's mouth formed an O shape. There were paintings all over the place. There was not a single spot empty.
"You're a painter?" Caroline asked surprised.
"Yeah." Klaus said smiling at his work.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Caroline said before she walked further into the room.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. So one of your passions is painting."
"Yeah, I usually paint when I just want to get away from the real world and into my own world."
"It's amazing Nik. I didn't know you knew how to paint."
"I didn't know either until my mum taught me how to." Klaus said smiling at the memories he had with Esther when they would paint together. "There's something else I want to show you." Klaus said before walking over to the cabinet and opening it up. There were tons of sketchbooks in that cabinet.
"When I missed you… I would usually sketch you." Klaus said embarrassed.
"You sketched me?" Caroline asked.
"Yes, all of them are when we were kids."
"Can I see it?"
"Of course," Klaus said before he walked over to her and handed her the sketchbook.
Caroline looked through the sketchbook and her eyes widened at the sketches.
"I didn't look like that." Caroline said.
"Yes you did Caroline. You were very beautiful as a child."
"Wow, I can't believe that's me." Caroline breathed out.
"Believe it Care Bear."
"Thank you, Nik." Caroline said.
"For what?" Klaus asked confused.
"For never forgetting about me or our friendship."
"I would never forget you even if I wanted to Caroline." Klaus said truthfully.
"I think your right." Caroline whispered.
"About what?"
"That we're soul mates." Caroline said finally admitting to herself that she has loved Nik ever since they were little kids and always loved him.
Klaus smiled at this and hugged Caroline tightly.
There you have it lovelies. I hope it wasn't to touchy feely and that you enjoyed it.
