"I know that my boss is supposed to be in charge but she's doing it all wrong and I shouldn't feel like I'm failing because she is," the blonde went on explaining to her date about her day.
Klaus watched from the table next to her as her date subtly rolled his eyes drowning her out as he cut his steak and bit into it nodding at the appropriate moments.
The man gestured for the check to come cutting off the blonde that had caught his attention her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he excused himself from the table.
Klaus took his moment to rise waiting for the man to disappear into the restroom before he took his chair across from her, "Your name is?" he asked getting comfortable.
She arched an eyebrow at him sitting back, "Caroline," she told him looking uncertain the moment after as to why, "Was I being too loud just now?"
"No actually I quite enjoyed it," he told her honestly resting his arm on the table leaning closer to her, "Not so sure about him though," he added pointing with his eyes to the restroom.
She groaned her head falling back giving him a nice view of her long neck, "I always do that, I'm just nervous and I talk," she said gesturing with her hands.
She groaned again realizing she was doing it again, "I'm sorry," Klaus grinned as she spoke shaking his head enamored with her.
"Nothing to be sorry for," he replied as her date reappeared, "Listen your boss is an ass who doesn't deserve your worry," he told her as he stood up.
His hand went to hers kissing the back as the man moved closer, "Much like him," he whispered before pulling away the man standing next to them now.
"Caroline," he said looking bewildered, "Who's your friend?" he said his voice tight as he looked at her then at him Caroline he learned had a beautiful smile too.
"Klaus," he said introducing himself to both of them shaking her dates hand, "I was just telling Caroline somethings come up at work."
Caroline looked at him dumbfounded, "Oh so you're her co-worker," the man said relieved taking his seat back, "Well if you have to go."
"I mean are you sure?" she asked already getting her bag looking at Klaus probably wondering what he was thinking as she looked back at her date, "Okay? Okay."
Klaus couldn't believe she was going along with it, "Well see you mate," he said patting the man's shoulder before gesturing for Caroline to lead the way out of the restaurant.
"I don't even work today," Caroline muttered pulling her purse strap up over her shoulder, "I said that like three times in the last twenty minutes.
"I know I heard you," Klaus responded as he took her hand, "That was right after the whole Bonnie forgot her lunch so you had to spot her a ten story."
Caroline rolled her eyes at him, "Are you aware that you're extremely self-confident in holding my hand and kind of an ass for listening to my droning when my own sort of boyfriend doesn't."
"Yes," Klaus replied unable to wipe the smile from his face as he stopped them looking her dead in the eye, "After tonight he won't be your boyfriend any longer," he promised.
