Thank you all for the follows, favourites and reviews :) They make writing this so much easier :) x
Caroline let out a sigh of relief as she stepped out of the shower; she pulled on her black lacy underwear and caught sight of her reflection in the mirror.
"Son of a bitch!" she exclaimed looking at the numerous love bites along her neck and collarbones.
"Asshole marked me," she muttered before smirking because she was going to exact her revenge. She pulled on her rollers acid electric blue studded shorts and then pulled on her white and black Boohoo cross crop top. She opened one of the drawers in the bathroom and put on her black and silver stingray cuff she got as a present from one of her fans.
She walked out of the bathroom and into the seating area and found her manager slash Katherine's aunt sitting there.
"Jenna!" Caroline ran over and wrapped her in a big hug.
"Hey Caroline!" Jenna returned the hug before pulling away and pushing her sunglasses on top of her head.
"What are you doing here? I thought you're meant to be with Alaric and the baby?" Caroline wondered.
"Yes, well every mum needs a break. And I also needed to talk to you lot; after speaking with Elijah and getting requests, you lot are staying in New York for 2 extra days." Jenna said while replying to e-mails on her phone.
"Why?" Caroline tilted her head to the side and looked at her curiously.
"Because we're going on a day trip to my old school" Lexi quipped whilst slipping into the room with Rebekah close behind.
"Julliard?" Caroline asked, remembering Lexi mentioning it once.
"Yup, you guys are going to do a Q & A and maybe perform, go around to classes. Then the day after you are set free to roam around" Jenna said still not looking up from her phone.
"Okay, so when do we arrive?" Caroline looked at the clock, which indicated it was nearly 10. The bus came to a stop and Jenna looked up and smiled.
"Now," Caroline stood to get off but remembered she forgot to put shoes on. She quickly ran to the back and pulled on her black Giuseppe Zanotti leather biker open toe boots. When she reached the steps to get off, Kol appeared.
"There you are darling, for a second we thought you might have died," he said jokingly, "come along." He turned his back to walk away when all of a sudden Caroline jumped onto him, so he was piggy backing her.
"What the hell?" he shouted before grabbing onto her legs so she wouldn't fall, although the way her legs wrapped around his mid-section so he highly doubted she would fall any time soon.
"Sorry, darling" she mocked, the leant forward to whisper in his ears "it's only fair." He didn't get to ask what she was talking about before she latched her lips onto his pulse point and started sucking to leave a mark, just like hers.
Klaus turned his head when he heard Kol shout out and went rigid when he saw Caroline wrapped around Kol and kissing his neck. He could hear Kol's laughter and couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw Kol start walking with her continuing her actions, as if nothing was happening.
Kol finally caught up with the group who were making their way to Julliard, Caroline had finally relented when she was satisfied that she had left a couple of her own marks. She was still on his back but her legs hung by his side instead of being wrapped around him and he held her up by holding on to the back of her thighs.
"Morning Klaus" Caroline's melodic voice rang out as she and Kol walked him. He replied with a gruff "good morning" and sent daggers towards Kol.
"Morning bro and bro's hoe" Kol sing-songed as he finally started walking away from Klaus and Tatia. Caroline giggled at Kol's remark and lightly swatted his head.
"Klaus! Aren't you going to say anything to your brother?" Tatia exclaimed, angered that Klaus didn't stand up against his brother when he called her a hoe. Klaus' head shot up from looking at the ground then looked at Caroline and Kol.
"Morning Kol" he shouted back, then turned to look at Tatia who just rolled her eyes.
"I meant about him calling me a hoe" she said exasperated.
"Oh" he mumbled before calling out "Kol! Call Tatia a hoe one more time and I will punch you in the face" he looked over at Tatia who had raised an eyebrow at him "multiple times" he called out. A look of satisfaction crossed Tatia's face and she nodded in approval. Klaus pulled her into his side and they walked silently together until they walked inside of Julliard. When they entered everyone was standing about and Kol had slung his arm casually across Caroline's shoulders.
"Klaus you are stuck with Kol and Caroline for the day" Katherine's voice rang out.
"And what about me?" Tatia sneered, not liking the idea of her boyfriend going anywhere near Caroline.
"You are with Stefan and Lexi because they are the only people that can barely stand you" Katherine said simply then started walking off with Damon and Rebekah.
"Let's go teach some kids how to raise hell," Kol said rubbing his hands together evilly. Caroline nodded and giggled.
"Let's show them how it's done! Come on Klaus" Caroline called out before pulling Kol into one of the rooms. Klaus pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, slowly following them. Once inside he saw Caroline huddled together with a group of girls who were stealing glances at Klaus and Kol and giggling; Kol was standing with the guys gazing at the girls appreciatively and Klaus did not like how his gaze seemed to linger a bit too long on Caroline.
Caroline looked over at Klaus and shot her million-dollar smile at him.
"Let's start, come on boys," she said walking over to the cassette player in the corner of the room. The students sat to the side to watch Klaus, Kol and Caroline perform. The song floated across the room and a grin spread across Caroline's face. Kol walked over to a table and leant over slightly and started hitting the table to the beat, Caroline started singing whilst Klaus decided to let her take the lead in this one.
We've been here too long, Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy
Caroline walked over to Klaus and ran a hand across his chest, and dipped down before rising and circling him.
I'm a natural ma'am, Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high
She lifted her hair and pretended to fan herself, all the while Kol kept to the beat and Klaus just stood there watching his angel perform.
Cry at night, No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine, If you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare, Yeah
Caroline sauntered over to Kol and ran her hands up and down his back.
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Caroline pointed to Klaus and gave him a smirk; the class called out the yeahs.
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Caroline ran a hand up her arm
Do you wanna touch me there, where
On the 'there' she placed one right hand on the left side of her chest and her left hand on the right side of her hip. Then she pulled her hands across her body in opposite directions as she sang.
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where, there, yeah?
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Klaus groaned, the girl could be an angel one moment then a temptress the next. He watched as Caroline seductively swung her hips to the music, he then stopped himself when he realized he shouldn't be having these feelings because he was with… no wait. Is with Tatia. Shit.
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where?
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where, there, yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
She went over and stood opposite Kol and started thumping her hands against the table with Kol and locked eyes with him and gave him a mischievous smile, one that he returned straight away.
When they finished the class clapped and everyone rushed to ask them questions, ones that they answered with mirrored optimism. When they were done with the questions they had to leave so Klaus turned to the door with Caroline following close behind. When they reached the door they turned to say goodbye but Caroline saw Kol flirting with one of the girls.
She looked to Klaus who rolled his eyes then all of his eyes lit up in a way Caroline had never seen before. He quickly whispered his thought to Caroline whose grin spread across her face as she listened to Klaus. She also couldn't help but appreciate the smell of his cologne and how she could feel his stubble graze her cheek as he whispered to her. She nodded once she was done and then scurried off to Kol who was still flirting with the girl.
"Kol, I got the call from your doctor," she said approaching him and the girl who quickly turned to look at her. She faced Kol and stage whispered to him "your results for genital herpes came back positive." The girl's eyes widened and she quickly ran off.
Kol groaned and looked at Caroline then past her to Klaus who was bent over laughing.
"Not funny darling" Kol said sternly, "I'm going to have to punish you later" he whispered seductively in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
"I can't wait," she whispered back before nipping his neck where she had given him a hickey.
Klaus stood there fuming, having thought that Kol would take the joke the wrong way and distance himself from Caroline but it ended up having the wrong effect. He stormed off and towards the bus. Everyone finally arrived at the buses except the drivers, so everyone was standing around waiting for the buses. Caroline looked over in Klaus' direction and saw him sitting down and leaning against one of the buses wheels looking all broody. So she took initiative and grabbed her acoustic guitar and a briefcase that was with it then walked over to him.
"Hey, come with me" she put her hand out for him to take.
"Where?" he asked sceptically.
"Somewhere" she shrugged.
"Do the others know where? Are they coming as well?" he asked directing his gaze towards Kol.
"Nope" she replied, Klaus still didn't make any move so Caroline knew she had to push him the one way she knew how.
"Take a chance Klaus. I dare you." She smiled at him; he looked up and mirrored her smile. He raised his hand and grabbed onto hers as she helped lift him off the ground and handed him the briefcase.
"Come on" she giggled, pulling for him to run with her with one hand and the neck of her guitar in her other.
"Quick before someone sees us," she whispered. They ran off darting between and behind buses so no one could see where they would go. They ended up outside central park, Caroline finally stopped running and Klaus came to a stop next to her.
"Now what" he asked between deep breaths.
"We are going to busk" she said simply before putting the strap of her guitar over her shoulder, she then took the briefcase and put it on the floor revealing a loop pedal. She started strumming out the intro then setting it out a loop, she started singing. Klaus smiled knowing this was exactly what he needed.
[Caroline]
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
[Klaus and Caroline]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Caroline and Klaus harmonized perfectly, they were drawing in a crowd but neither of them noticed them because they were to lost in each other and the song.
[Klaus]
Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
Caroline let her head drop then raised it; this caused her curls to perfectly frame her face. Klaus nearly stopped breathing at the sight of her, so flawless, so perfect.
[Klaus and Caroline]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine guns
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, those bulletproof glass
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
When the song finished the group of people were clapping and giving them endless compliments. Caroline's breath caught when she saw Klaus' carefree smile and right away she knew what she did was the right thing. She broke out of her thoughts at the sound of Klaus' voice.
"How about it?"
"Hmm?" she asked.
"Another song?" Klaus pointed to her guitar then the crowd.
"Yeah, okay" she smiled. They ended up standing there busking for 2 hours, just enjoying each other's company. Who would've thought a pop princess would end up on the streets of New York busking with the so-called king of rock/heavy metal. Caroline's phone had been vibrating non-stop but she didn't realize until she finished packing up the stuff.
"Shit" she muttered when she saw she had over 100 missed calls and texts asking where she was and if she knew where Klaus was. Klaus had a knowing look on his face and gave a sad smile.
"We should probably head back," he said, not really wanting to go back to the others.
"Yeah" she said feeling the same way, they slowly made their way back and when they arrived everyone bombarded them with questions. Caroline was brought into a smothering hug by Katherine who was acting like an overly protective older sister on her. And Klaus was getting similar treatment except from Tatia who was worried about him but at the same time livid that he and Caroline snuck off. Together.
Caroline snuck a glance at Klaus and saw he was doing the exact same thing; they gave each other small smiles before they were herded onto the buses.
"Am I going to have to bloody GPS tag you Niklaus?" Elijah said keeping his tone even, although his annoyance showed.
"What were you doing with her?" Tatia said clearly annoyed, she then started yammering on about their relationship and if it meant as much to him as it did her. But Klaus didn't care about what Elijah and Tatia were saying so he tuned them out and thought about his and Caroline's impromptu busking session.
"Caroline, am I going to have to hand cuff you to Kat?" Rebekah asked, finally calm after being hysterical over losing not only Caroline but her favourite brother as well.
"Hey! Who says I want to be stuck with her?" Kat whined before shooting an apologetic look to Caroline "no offense of anything, it's just the whole being married thing. Don't really want to have another party join us, especially in the bed room…" Katherine trailed off. Caroline stayed silent.
"Because me and Elijah have sex..." Katherine added "lots of sex – "
"I get it" Caroline shrieked before retreating to the bedroom at the back of the bus. When she got there Kol was lying there waiting for her.
"You ditched me sweetheart" Kol pouted playfully.
"Awww poor baby" Caroline added playfully, before flopping down beside him and resting her head on his chest. Kol brought his arm around her and pulled her closer.
"What was with the attack this morning love?" Kol asked after remembering seeing himself in the mirror and finding bruises where she had kissed him.
"Payback for these" she said wiping off the foundation, revealing his hickeys.
"Damn, I got you good" Kol said admiring his work, "you do realise you have made me girl repellent now. No one is going to want to come near me when they see your mark."
"Yeah, well no guy is going to want to bang me with these" she said pointing to the marks.
"Well, until the marks disappear we can make the most of our situation." Kol offered, Caroline rose up and rested her chin on her arms, which were folded across his chest.
"You aren't going to fall for me are you?" she raised her eyebrow; she couldn't deal with emotions or relationships after what happened with Tyler.
"Please, I couldn't handle someone as chirpy and sunshiny as you" Kol scoffed "and I've got my eye on someone, but for now, it's all fun and games until she breaks up with her sorry excuse for a boyfriend."
"Deal but for now nap" Caroline nodded and shifted to her side letting Kol spoon her.
"Plus, I know you have a thing for Nik" Kol whispered before kissing her temple and falling asleep. Caroline lay there for a few minutes thinking back to her time with Klaus and couldn't help the smile on her face, but it vanished once she thought of Tatia and how Klaus would be cheating on Tatia if anything happened between Klaus and her. And she couldn't deal with cheating, even if it wasn't on her. She vowed to never be the other girl.
Please leave me a review :) x
