Veronica quickly arrived in the Neptune Grand and walked straight to the elevator. She had been around a couple of time to stake out a few cheating husbands and knew her way around well enough.
Veronica was really nervous and couldn't stop thinking about the man who appeared in the old pictures she had found. She couldn't help but wonder what explanation he would tell her…
Now she was standing in front of his suite's door and before she could think, her hand took a life of its own and went to knock on the door…
Only seconds passed before Klaus opened it and greeted her with a bright smile. It was obvious that he was happy to see her. She, too, was smiling brightly. She had been waiting for this moment all day long.
"Veronica, come on in, please." He said as he let her in his big and luxurious suite.
"Hello Klaus… How was your day?" she asked him as she put her purse on a small table.
"Pretty fruitful. Yours?" He asked her when he guided her to the balcony where a pretty romantic table was prepared.
"Eventful… But I guess it was a good thing." She said without adding more.
"I'm glad you didn't change your mind."
"So am I…" Veronica looked thoughtful.
"Something wrong?" he asked her.
"Not really… I… I was just wondering why we were so comfortable around each other when we just met… I don't usually trust people so fast… I wonder why that is…" She answered him truthfully.
"I know what you mean…" he replied, not used to sharing his feelings with anyone.
They did some small talk while they ate and when desert came, Veronica couldn't hold her questions in anymore.
"Have you ever been to Chicago?" she asked him, wanting to start slowly.
"Yes… I like this city… I had a good time there with my sister Rebekah." He replied, knowing she was trying to check if the information she found were true or not. He didn't want to lie to her so he went on and replied truthfully.
"What about New York? I always wanted to go there…" She said with dreamy eyes…
"I did… I loved it… I'll take you sometime…" he promised her in a tone she didn't doubt.
He would be taking her to New York if she wished it.
"How old are you?"
"Now… That's the question you really wanted to ask all along right?" he asked with a small smile and she nodded shyly.
"Technically I'm 23… In reality, I'm over a thousand years old." He said looking at her, watching her reaction.
She didn't look shocked or scared.
"Who are you really?"
"I'm Niklaus Mickealson, turned into a vampire by my mother along with the rest of my family." He said, deciding telling her what she wanted to know would be for the best.
"A vampire? Like drink blood and sleep in coffin? Wait, you walked in the sun!" Veronica said.
Then Klaus explained everything to her, from him being a hybrid to what weakened vampires. He even gave her a very beautiful necklace full of Vervain so nobody could compel her. He told her his family's history and even told her things he never told any of his siblings like the fact he killed his mother.
She didn't run away screaming.
She didn't look shocked.
She seamed fine with it. So Klaus tried his luck and went on telling her what he did before the summer. How he broke the curse, took his old friend away from his brother and friends, how he betrayed his brother to protect him from Mickeal.
He told her everything and she was still here.
"That's something… I never even thought this kind of things could exist…" She said in owe.
"You're not scared… Weevil said you were strong… he said you would be able to take it." Klaus replied with a smile.
"So you drink human blood?" she asked.
"I do… But I would never hurt you Veronica you need to know that… I know we met only yesterday and just like you I never felt like this and wasn't expecting it but… I'm not good at sharing my feelings… I really like you and will do anything I can to keep you safe and happy…" He told her in an intense tone.
"I…I trust you…I don't know why but I do…" she replied softly and truthfully.
"And you're not afraid?" he checked.
"No… I feel safe with you… and in this town it's saying something…" she said with a smile.
"So, beside witches, vampires and werewolves, is there anything else?" She asked him.
"Several… why?" he asked her, feeling she was meaning to ask something else.
"Well… This past year I've been…seeing Lilly…"
"Lilly? Your dead friend? Weevil's ex?" Klaus asked.
"Yes… I thought I was just imagining things but… Could it be really her?" She asked him.
"She could be trying to reach you from the other side… Since you were the only one still fighting for the truth and for her, she came to you…" Klaus said before he added "I could ask a witch friend of mine to look into it if you want…"
She nodded and he promised her he would get on it tomorrow.
She thanked him with a bright smile that warmed his heart.
By now they were long done with desert and Klaus served them a glass of champagne before he led her to the TV area to watch a movie. He was happy when she sat close to him, not trying to leave any space between them. He let her select a movie and they got comfortable.
In the end, Veronica had her head on his lap and he had his arms around her, needing to feel her close to him.
When the movie was over, Veronica reluctantly stood, knowing she needed to get back home since she had school the next day.
"I have to go… School and all…" She told him.
"I'll see you after then?" He asked her hopefully.
"Sure… I'd love that…" Veronica replied softly.
The goodbye seamed to be hard for the both of them and he told her he would pick her up after school.
After she left, Klaus sighted…
He just broke the one rule he said he never would break… He attached himself to a human girl he wasn't willing to let go.
He needed to talk with someone and got his phone out, calling his sister. He gave her an update on his hybrids before bringing the real subject he wanted to share with her: Neptune. He started by telling her all about Weevil and Rebekah seamed to agree with him: she couldn't wait to meet him. After that he went all in and told her about Veronica… He told her how he thought he was falling in love with her and his sister seamed happy for him.
"She's human…" He said.
"So were we… It can be changed… I can't wait to meet her!" She squealed.
He smiled and told her more about the girl he grew so attached to in the few hours he knew her. They talked a little longer before he hung up, promising he would introduce them soon.
