The next day of school went by pretty fast for Veronica.

People didn't bother her anymore.

She wasn't sure if it was because she had made a reputation for herself the previous year or if it was because of her new last name but she didn't care. She was free to do her detective work for extra cash and live her life with her friends.

Also she wondered if Weevil acting like her shadow all day today had anything to do with people ignoring that her rape had been in the newspaper the very same morning. She didn't care, she liked knowing that Weevil was looking out for her, even if she could easily guess that Klaus had something to do with it.

She had gotten to school with Duncan and when the last bell rang, she told him she would be home later, leaving him with Meg.

Everyone watched as Veronica walked toward an expensive looking Porsche driven by a very beautiful blond man.

They all watched as they smiled at each others and the man opened the door for her before driving off without a care in the world.

They didn't notice Weevil jumping on his motorcycle to follow them, like a bodyguard.

"I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time… I had to feed." Klaus told her.

"Oh… Did you…kill?" she asked, not comfortable with the subject.

"I wanted to… But I didn't…"

"Good!" She said with a smile.

"I though you were okay with what I am…" He said.

"I am… I… Don't take it the wrong way please…"

"Of course not." He replied quickly.

"… I am not really comfortable with your lack of respect for human life…" She said shyly.

"You know…if you were to stick around me I could learn to respect it more…" he smirked.

"Is that a little lie to get me to stay with you?" she asked with a smile.

He parked his car on the parking lot of the beach and turned toward her:

"It's the truth Veronica… I can already feel the changes you're making on me… so soon and yet… you're so intriguing…So beautiful…" he told her as he softly stroked her cheek.

Veronica blushed and looked down before looking up to see his beautiful eyes on hers. He was leaning down and she didn't move, letting him put his soft lips on hers, letting him kiss her.

The kiss was soft and perfect.

When they pulled apart, they were both smiling.

They took a walk on the beach were they talked some more about life, their hopes and wishes for the future.

Klaus wanted to know more about Veronica and she wanted to know more about him… It was a battle of questions.
