I don't own VD

A/N: Ok – after some thought (and urging from all of you) I think I am going to turn this into a full on story. I have never done anything like this before so there are probably going to be some bumps along the way. There will be some tweaks here and there as well. The first chapter will be moved once the story gets to the place where it is supposed to be.

Feedback is always welcome.

Any ideas for a title?

Once again please excuse any editorial, spelling and grammar mistakes.

Thank you again for your lovely reviews.

"The plan was to shut him down Kat. Not drunk make out with him and then shut him down! Oh God, I'm such a tease." Caroline cried mournfully into her cell phone as she paced around her flat.

"I think it was the dress that gave the impression that you are a tease. Now if you would have slept with him then you would be a tease AND a slut."

"If that's your twisted way of telling me to look on the bright side it sucks." Caroline frowned.

"Take a chill pill Caroline."

"I will NOT take a chill pill Kat! Don't you see why this is bad? He knows I like him. I made the first move. I kissed him back when he kissed me. And I not only kissed him back I mauled him with my hands."

"It's so obvious that you need to get laid."

"That's what I am trying to avoid Kat."

"Well then get a vibrator. Maybe it will help you chill out."

"Katherine Pierce you did not just say that!" Caroline shouted into the phone mortified at her best friend's suggestion. She could hear Katherine laughing as Caroline covered her eyes with her hand as if to hide from the inappropriateness of Katherine's suggestion.

"Like I said before: fuck him and get over it."

"Well it is obvious you are not helping or listening. Good bye Kat." Caroline ground out as she listened to Katherine laugh once more into the phone.

"Bye"

"Oh God Caroline! I don't want to know this." Stefan said as his face fell into his folded arms that rested on the counter.

"You are my best friend forever Stefan. You will hear every single detail of my date with Nik even if it kills you!" Caroline almost shouted as she smacked his shoulder.

Stefan just groaned and stayed silent. "As I was saying…. Oh my God he is an incredible kisser. I am pretty sure I would have given it to him right there for his kisses alone." Caroline breathed as she thought about her hot make out session with Klaus.

"I thought the whole point was to not sleep with him." Stefan pointed out as he lifted his head to look over at her.

"That is the point!" Stefan only looked more confused.

"Just because I don't want to sleep with him doesn't mean I don't want to sleep with him." Caroline shared as she tapped her half empty rum and coke on the counter of the bar that she had come to meet Stefan for a whole debrief of her date with Klaus.

"I'm not sure I understand."

"I want to sleep with him. God how I want to sleep with him, but Nik does not do relationships. I can't sleep with him knowing he is just going to leave once he gets what he wants. Do you not remember when I went total stalker on my one night stand in college? I cannot have that happen again. There shall be no one and done with me." Caroline declared resolutely as she drowned her drink.

"Why are you not telling this to Kat? Why does it have to be me?" Stefan asked as he accepted the scotch from the bar tender.

"I already told Kat and she just told me to fuck him and get over it." Caroline said with a sour look on her face.

Stefan thought about it for a moment and then nodded his head in agreement. "Well, she may have a point."

"No! She does not have a point! There will be no getting over it! God, do you and Kat even listen to me? If I am going to fuck someone, they are sure as hell going to be there for round two, three and four!" At this declaration she saw Stefan's face turn bright red and the bar tender almost drop the bottle of rum he was using to mix her drink.

"I volunteer darling." Kol drawled as he sauntered over to the bar and took a seat next to the ravishing blonde. Even dressed simply in a pair of jeans, a gray t-shirt and yellow flats she still looked delectable.

Caroline turned to glare at the handsome younger brother before returning her attention to the drink that the bar tender laid before her. "Somehow I don't think you are the relationship type Kol."

"I could be for you, Caroline." Kol gave her his best earnest face as he lifted one of her hands to rest above his heart. Before Caroline could answer Kol started swearing and lifting her arm up further for inspection of the huge swath of dark purple bruises that marred the bottom of her forearm. "What the bloody hell happened to you?"

Caroline just rolled her eyes as he took her other arm to inspect it as well. "I was drunk and tripped and ate shit." Thank GOD she had done that in the building rather than out front. It would kind of destroy the whole shutting Klaus down kill shot. Kol just shook his head as he dropped her arms.

"Jesus, darling. How much did you have to drink?"

Caroline sighed. "I drank enough to make out with that womanizer brother of yours."

Kol leaned forward into her personal space, a huge grin on his face. "And how much do you need to drink before you make out with me?" Wiggling his eye brows at her as he gleefully watched her take another sip of her drink.

"There isn't enough liquor in the world for me to make out with you Kol."Caroline quipped and pushed his face away with her hand. Ignoring Kol's heartbroken look she turned her attention back to Stefan who had been watching the exchange with amusement.

"As I was saying, I can't sleep with him. I like him and if he slept with me and left I would end up going all Basic Instinct on him. But, oh my God! Can you imagine if I did? I bet he would be amazing in bed. And oh sweet baby Jesus the mouth on him. Can you just imagine what he could do just with his mouth?" Stefan was chugged his drink at that point while Kol was busy trying to slip away unnoticed, not really keen to listen to a woman fantasize about his older brother.

While Caroline was distracted watching Kol leave Stefan took the opportunity to slip away as well. Caroline turned to remark on Kol leaving and gasped as she saw the chair next to her was empty, her eyes lifting to watch her BFF make his getaway. "Hey! Get your cute ass back in that chair! I'm not done yet!"

"As you wish, sweetheart." Caroline groaned as she recognized the voice. He was absolutely the last person she needed to see right now. Pushing her drink away as that is what lead her into trouble in the first place she turned to face him.

Klaus smirked as he slid onto the bar stool, looking ridiculously hot in a dark blue Henley and equally dark jeans. She could even see a peek a few necklaces he was wearing in the opening of his shirt. God, could this man get any hotter?

"I didn't mean you." Caroline grouched as she tucked a curl nervously behind her ear. Before she could grouch at him some more her arm was suddenly in his hands, gently twisted to expose the bruises of her arm, his fingers sliding lightly across her skin as if to sooth away her pain. Contrary to his actions his voice rough with a promise of pain.

"Who did this to you Caroline? Tell me who did this and I will personally rip their heart out and shove it down their throats." Klaus growled softly.

Caroline smiled at his reaction. Even if he was only trying to get into her pants at least this showed that he cared about her, at least a little bit. She lifted her other arm to touch his cheek but that was quickly confiscated by him just as the other had been to inspect the damage.

Caroline sighed as she let him examine her. "I fell."

Klaus glanced up at her, shooting her a look that said he did not believe her. Besides isn't that what all abused women said? That they fell? "Don't lie to me, love. I swear to you that whoever did this to you will never touch you again."

Caroline rolled her eyes as she tried to pull her arms away, yet Klaus kept them in his lap with a firm grip. "I'm sure Captain Morgan will be quaking in his boots when he hears you are coming for him."

Klaus finally looked up from her arms, a confused look on his handsome face. "Do you even realize how drunk I was last night? Drunk enough to kiss you but not drunk enough to sleep with you. A very fine line and walking fell to the side of drunk enough to trip over my own feet."

"You really fell?" Klaus kept a careful watch on Caroline's face as she answered him, looking for any clue that she was lying to him. Caroline was finally able to pull one of her arms free and cupped his face with her hand, her thumb gently stroking the stubble of his cheek.

"I did. I am a bit of a klutz when I drink that much."

Klaus gave her a tentative nod before he turned his face into her hand and pressed a soft kiss against the palm of her hand. It was such an intimate gesture that for once Caroline was at a loss for words. However it did shore up her resolve not to sleep with him. He was going to break her heart given the chance.

With a small smile she pulled her hand away from his face and turned to her drink and took a huge gulp. Yeah, she was going to stay away from the sauce but after that moment she wasn't sure how she could even function around him without trying to jump his bones. Caroline needed the liquid courage.

Switching gears Klaus shook off the anger that had gripped him only moments ago. He was surprised at his own reaction. Yes, he would put down any man who would hit a woman, yet the rage he felt at the thought of Caroline being subject to such abuse was on a whole other level. He shook off the voice in his head that wanted to know what the hell that meant and in turn gave Caroline his lady killer smile.

"So, love. When do I pick you up for our second date?" Klaus taking the opportunity to capture one of her hands in his, his thumb drawing so lazy circles on the palm of her hand.

"There is no second date. You are a playboy and a philander. You had your one chance and that was it. I do relationships. Not playboys." Caroline stated resolutely as she pulled her hand from his grasp with a prayer that it was dark enough in the bar to keep him from seeing the blush that stained her cheeks that was brought about by his touch.

"No need to be mean, love." Klaus replied as he lifted his hand to brush back a few stray curls from her face. He couldn't help it. He wanted to touch her every opportunity he could take. Caroline brushed back his hand and narrowed her gaze at him.

"Are you telling me you are not a playboy and philander?"

There was a guilty silence from Klaus at that point. Caroline nodded and turned in her chair to leave only to be caught by his hand on her arm. "Tell me how to acquit myself."

"You want to acquit yourself? Then date me. Full on straight up committed relationship. There is no one for me but you and there is no one for you but me. And when I finally feel like you have committed to us, that you have some skin in the game, only then will l give myself to you."

And there it was. Exactly what Caroline wanted of Klaus. She wanted him as not just her lover but as a boyfriend as well.

Klaus was quiet as he mulled over the terms Caroline had laid onto the table. With that said Caroline downed the rest of her drink and stood up and with a deep breath she curled her fingers around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Klaus was startled by the bold move yet was quick to recover, his hands sliding to her hips as he deepened the kiss. Caroline's tongue flicking playfully against his own as he explored her mouth.

Caroline was a glorious kisser. There was more passion in her kiss than he had felt with anyone one woman after a single night of sex. He could only imagine what she would be like in bed. His hands slid under her shirt, touching the soft skin of her back that had been so delightfully on display the night before, the rough feel of his hands causing Caroline to moan softly against his lips. Caroline's fingers threading through his sandy curls and tugging his head back as she broke the kiss, ending it as quickly as it had started. Caroline gave him a small chaste kiss before whispering against his lips.

"Think about it."

And with that she pulled herself out of his arms, giving him a small smile before she turned and walked away from him, leaving a frustrated Klaus in her wake.
