Thank you for all the follows, favourites and reviews :) I know some of you aren't really happy with the Kol/Caroline relationship but don't worry Klaus and Caroline are end game. It's just going to take a while for them to get there.

1 months later

They were still on tour and just hit Las Vegas, Damon's hand was better so he was now back to playing with the band. Kol and Caroline were constantly flirting and had a friends with benefits thing going on, but they didn't have any romantic feelings whatsoever towards each other.

Over the month that Caroline filled in for Damon, Klaus had become completely entranced by her. He had to admit, he underestimated the blonde, every time he tried to get close to talk to her or perform next to her again Tatia would interfere or cause a distraction.

"Klaus, are you even listening to me?" Tatia's shrill voice rung out.

"Not really" Klaus mumbled only to receive a slap to the head, he turned to see the blonde beauty with a smile on her face walking backwards as she spoke.

"Rule number one Klaus. Never tell a girl you aren't listening to her, even if you aren't." She giggled as Kol put his arm around her and steered her in the way of the casino.

"Klaus I was saying that maybe we should tie the knot. Think of the publicity, and we have been together for 4 years now." Tatia ran her finger up and down his arm.

"No thanks." Klaus said simply and walked off to the casino, leaving a livid Tatia behind. Once walking into the hotel Klaus made a bee-line towards the hotel bar and started working his way through their bourbon stock.

"Now how did I know I would find you here?" Caroline's voice broke him out of his inner musings. He turned to look at her and his breath caught, standing in front of him Caroline wore a red and black bandage dress that fitted her like a second skin, as well as black pumps. Her hair framed her face in loose curls. "I'll have a double vodka please." Caroline asked the bar tender who had just come over.

"Drinking my way through the bourbon, then once all that's gone, the scotch. And so on." Klaus gulped down the rest of his bourbon then gestured for another one, "what about you?"

"I have come to collect you, because you see there is this thing. It's called fun!" Caroline slammed her vodka then looked at him. "I know it sounds preposterous right! How could an old man like you possibly have fun? Well the answer is by gambling with the one and only Caroline Forbes."

Klaus chuckled "I don't fancy going broke tonight love." Caroline rolled her eyes then took his drink from his hands then slammed it back.

"Well, you are going to go broke if you keep drinking at the rate you're going. So which would you rather do. Drink yourself into oblivion? Or spend the night having fun with me?" Caroline giggled and Klaus felt his resolve dissolve. Caroline put her hand out for him to take and after a minutes hesitation put his in hers. They both felt a shock of electricity run through their arms when they held hands. But Klaus couldn't think about this any more as Caroline was dragging him through the casino.

An hour later and they were winning big time at Black Jack, Klaus was playing and Caroline perched on his lap completely invested in the game. She didn't know how she had ended up on his lap but she was making no move to get off.

"How about some slots?" Caroline asked him, he just smiled and nodded his head. He was on cloud 9 at the moment, he would have agreed to any of her wishes.

"I keep losing! This is the easiest thing here too!" Caroline pouted when she managed to waste all the money Klaus won on the slot machines.

"You still have one more chip love" Klaus raised it up and gave it to her, "make it count."

"How did you win at Black Jack?" Caroline asked taking the token from him.

"I had you, my lucky charm" Klaus teased.

"Yeah but I have you right now but I am still losing" Caroline whined "what's the difference?"

"Well, you were sitting on my lap. So maybe we need some sort of connection" Klaus said jokingly but no sooner after he said it Caroline's lips were pressed against his. He responded enthusiastically and Caroline stretched her arm out and pulled the lever. The sound of a jackpot being won played out and when they finally broke apart they realised she had one.

"Huh" Caroline muttered still dazed by the kiss.

"Care! No way! You just won like a shit tonne of money!" Lexi cried out coming out of nowhere. Caroline let out a sigh of relief that Lexi didn't see the kiss but little did she know that Lexi saw everything. Soon everyone joined up and went their separate ways.

"Klaus I saw you and Caroline at the bar together" Tatia spoke to him as Klaus undressed for bed.

"And what of it?" Klaus said tersely.

"Her or me, Klaus. Stop performing and talking to her or lose me." Tatia asked looking at him seriously.

"I'm not going to stop performing with her just because you are being an insecure neurotic child right now" Klaus replied getting into bed. This was obviously the wrong answer as Tatia stormed off leaving Klaus in their room alone.

It was the next night and it was time for Klaus' band to go on and for once the girls decided to watch the boys do what they did best. Caroline was laughing at something Rebekah said when Elijah ran over to them frantically.

"What's wrong baby?" Katherine cooed, trying to calm him down.

"Tatia is missing and Klaus just gave her introduction, he thinks she is being dramatic and they have started playing the song. What do I do? This has never happened before." Elijah started to hyperventilate and Rebekah, Lexi and Katherine tried to calm him down.

Caroline took the initiative grabbed Tatia's microphone and walked into stage singing out the first lines as she did.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?

Klaus' surprise to see her was evident but there was also a hint of relief. Caroline slowly sauntered over to where Stefan was. Klaus was obviously thrown that instead of his girlfriend, the girl that had been haunting everyone of his waking moments since last night walk onto the stage.

Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb

Singing with her made Klaus realise he wanted to be with her, not Tatia. He had finally found the spark that he and Tatia lacked.

Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

Caroline walked over and stood right in front of Klaus, looking into his azure eyes. She lifted her hand to his face and caressed his cheek, then stepped away

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)

I can't wake up

(Wake me up inside)

Save me

(Call my name and save me from the dark)

And so ensued their little cat and mouse game on stage, Caroline would saunter around the stage and everywhere she went Klaus followed. Sometimes she would let him get within an arms length then move away or sometimes she would let him pull her into him but then push him away.

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)

I can't wake up

(Before I come undone)

Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

The crowd went wild by the chemistry that was happening on stage, it was as if the performance of the song was 100 times better than it had been performed before.

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Caroline went over to Damon and put one of her hands on his arm, she watched as Klaus' jaw ticked in what she assumed to be jealousy and decided to play with him.

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)

Caroline flitted over to Stefan and ran a arm over his shoulders and poked his nose. Stefan who was aware of Klaus' jealousy caught on to what she was doing and laughed. He turned so he was side on and Caroline pushed her back against his, and let her head fall on his shoulder.

I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)

Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Klaus watched as his Caroline rolled her body against Stefan's and could feel the jealousy bubble up in him. He knew he shouldn't feel this way but ever since the night of the almost kiss he couldn't stop thinking about her, singing about her, drawing her, silently dedicating the ballad in his set to her.

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

Caroline decided to put Klaus out of his misery and went over to him. She stood next to him and admired him as he sang.

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

Katherine, Elijah, Lexi and Rebekah watched the two performing and all of their jaws were practically on the floor.

"What the hell is going on between the two of them?" Katherine broke the silence, still watching the sexually charged performance.

"I have no idea. Lexi?" Rebekah looked to Lexi who had a knowing smile on her face.

"The third night she performed with them and Kol told her about being the temp, she may or may not have had a near kiss experience with Klaus. Oh and they got absolutely trolleyed last night and made out for a minute… or ten." Lexi said casually enjoying the gob smacked expressions on everyone's face.

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Caroline finished and by then she was flushed against Klaus who was panting like she was after the performance.

"That was amazing sweetheart, just like before. I want you" he whispered to her, still holding her close, savouring her warmth.

Caroline pulled out of his hold and moved so her lips were by his ears.

"You had me for 2 months" Caroline whispered before bowing to the crowd and walking off backstage leaving an awestruck Klaus on stage. Klaus snapped out of his daze and turned to the crowd who were still cheering from the performance.

The rest of the concert went blurred by and all Klaus could think of was his performance with Caroline, he had to get her on stage again somehow. Finally he got an idea, he approached the mic and settled everyone down.

"I'm sure you all know Damon" all the girls swooned and some threw their bras onto the stage, Damon chuckled but raised his eyebrow in question at Klaus who simply smirked in response.

"Well, he and Caroline who was on stage earlier apparently have duels and who can resist watching a guitar battle? Certainly not me. And I would love to watch Damon get shown up by a girl, so Caroline love please come on stage." Klaus called out looking at the side of the stage where Caroline was standing there with her mouth hanging open.

"Come on love, don't keep us waiting. Unless you can't handle the challenge?" He teased, a series of ooo's passed through the stadium, Caroline huffed and turned to get her guitar. Kol and Stefan shared a knowing look, Caroline walked on stage with her guitar and stood next to Damon who was smirking.

"What's your poison then Blondie?" Damon spoke into the mic looking at Caroline in the corner of his eyes.

"How about the first song we ever duelled to?" Caroline raised her eyebrow at him, taunting him.

"As the lady wishes" Damon mock bowed then went to tell the guys the song.

"Don't hurt yourself Barbie" Damon taunted.

"What ever you say old man" Caroline spoke into his mic, they started when Kol played the intro to the song. The familiar beat of Highway Star filled the stadium, Caroline had angled her body so she was facing Damon, Damon mirrored Caroline's stance.

"Ladies first" Damon mouthed to her when the first solo was coming up, Caroline smirked and started playing the solo. The crowd was in a trance watching the two duelling. Damon took a step back and watched Caroline get lost in the song, he had to give the blonde props, she was nailing it. But there was no way in hell he was about to be upstaged by a girl.

The time the second solo came around Damon slayed every note. When the song finished Damon and Caroline were out of breath and gave each other a hug.

"That. My friends was HOT" Kol shouted out from behind his drums.

"I'm sure it was all Caroline though" Stefan insulted Damon, who in return glared at his brother.

"No need to be bitter brother, just because Caroline got to stand next to me the entire time. Both of us can't be built like Greek Gods" Damon said while gesturing to himself then lifting up his shirt showing off his abs. The girls in the crowd screamed out loud and Caroline rolled her eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about Damon" Stefan said and lifted up his shirt slightly showing off his abs, soon enough Kol lost his shirt and Klaus had lifted his up giving everyone a good view. Caroline stood there one hand over her mouth trying to keep in the laughter and looked at the crowd stopping her from gawking at Klaus. Kol jumped from behind the drums and all the boys stood in a line facing her.

"Who looks best sweetheart?" Kol asked cheekily. Caroline swung her guitar around so it was resting against her back and put a hand up to her chin pretending to think about it. Caroline smiled then walked over to Damon who was first in line, she ran a hand up his abs and gave him a shameless smile. Damon smirked and flexed his muscles then spoke into his microphone.

"Not bad, eh Blondie?" Caroline shrugged then moved onto Kol, she ran her hands up and down his abs like she did Damon, Kol pinched her butt and gave her a wide grin.

"You touch, I touch. Fair is fair darling" Kol sing songed into his microphone, Caroline hit him on the back of his head and moved to Stefan. She patted his stomach and smiled.

"Definitely better than Damon" she teased causing Damon to scowl. Then she slowly walked over to Klaus and hesitantly raised her hand.

"Go on love, I don't bite" Klaus teased and raised his hand up to hers and brought her hand onto his stomach. She moved her hand gently across his stomach feeling the muscles shiver under her touch.

"I've made a decision" Caroline moved across the stage putting some distance between her and Klaus.

"First, how much are all you girls wishing you were me right now?" The crowd responded with loud screams and cheering.

"Your choice Care?" Stefan asked her. She sighed then gave a cheeky smile.

"No one, because let's admit it boys. If anyone on this stage has an amazing body, it's me." Caroline raised her shirt up to just under her bra showing off her toned stomach.

"Come on darling, you can do better than that" Kol jeered from his side of the stage, Caroline rolled her eyes then raised her shirt up showing off her bra which had pushed her boobs up to showing off a generous amount of cleavage. All the men hooted and hollered and Caroline let go of her shirt letting it fall back down into place and bowed.

"And that boys, is the hottest body on stage right now" she whispered into the mic then walked off stage.

"Care" Katherine scolded her "as your band member I say that was capital h-o-t. But as your friend I am annoyed because I think you just gave my husband an aneurism." Katherine wrapped her arm around Elijah who looked completely baffled by what just happened.

"Ignore her Care bear. And now I demand you tell me what it was like. Who was really best? Keep in mind you just stroked my boyfriends stomach" Lexi reprimanded but her smile gave away the fact that she wasn't mad.

"Don't you worry, I'm not about to steal Stefan from you" Caroline winked at Lexi and gave her a little nudge "Rebekah your future boyfriend/Salvatore brother you have been flirting with none stop has the most amazing abs" Caroline gushed.

Rebekah blushed and looked a was furiously "I don't know what you're talking about, clearly you've gone mad. It's all that harsh lighting"

"I am about to talk about your brothers bodies so you might not want to listen in" Caroline playfully pushed Rebekah, who promptly went over to Elijah and Katherine not wanting to be part of a conversation about her brothers.

"Well?" Lexi asked expectantly.

"Kol has an amazing body, don't get me wrong. But Klaus" Caroline pretended to fan herself "sweet lord. His body is insane." Lexi had a wide grin on her face but it fell when Caroline continued.

"But. He has a girlfriend, but they seem to be having trouble. Maybe? I don't know, he said he wanted me" Caroline's head fell into her hands.

"Care, please don't tell me you're waiting for a taken man?" Lexi said pulling Caroline's hands away from her face "don't do this to yourself Caroline. You waited for Tyler and that was a waste of your time." Caroline looked up and nodded her head in agreement.

"You're right, maybe I will just keep what I have with Kol going. Who knows maybe we're meant to be together. Soul mate what not." Lexi grinned and nodded her head in the direction Kol just came in from the stage. Caroline walked over to him.

"Hey darling that was amaze – " Kol didn't manage to finish his sentence before Caroline jumped onto him wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him. Kol's hands automatically rose and held her up and he kissed her back.

"You were saying" Caroline mumbled against his lips when they broke apart.

"That was amazing" Kol mumbled.

"I know we agreed for this to be a wham bam thank you mam situation. But if you are willing to date me or have a somewhat normal relationship, I will make it worth your time" Caroline rested her forehead against his.

"For you Caroline, I can do that" Kol kissed her again then placed her on the ground, "come along love, how about a late dinner?" Kol offered her his arm which she took and they walked off. They were completely oblivious to Klaus standing there watching the whole scene take place.

Klaus felt jealousy, rage and hatred at the moment. His fists were balled up by his sides and he was all tense. He broke out of his reverie when Stefan slapped his shoulder.

"You okay there?" Stefan asked, after also having witnessed what just happened and knowing about Klaus' feelings towards Caroline.

"Just peachy" Klaus replied tersely.

"You can't be mad at either of them, they are both single and you have Tatia." Stefan kept pushing to get Klaus to admit his feelings.

"I never said I was mad at them" Klaus scowled.

"No but your face say otherwise."

"I'm happy for them, I hope they enjoy each other" Klaus put a strained smile on his face. Lexi bounced over to Stefan and kissed him, she then ran a hand over his abs under his shirt.

"Mine" she playfully growled then she turned to Klaus and pointed to a inebriated Tatia who just walked back stage "yours" Lexi said slightly disgusted and pointed from Klaus to Tatia. Then saw where Caroline had quickly dashed in to say goodbye to Katherine before Kol went up to Caroline and threw her over his shoulder in a fireman's lift.

"Not yours" she said pointing to Klaus then Caroline who was laughing at Kol's antics, "but she could be. Just end it with Tatia and I'll help."

"You will?" Klaus asked in disbelief.

"Please, I could pull Caroline myself if I wanted to." Lexi boasted.

"You have yourself a deal" Klaus grinned. But now came the difficult part. Ending it with Tatia, Klaus sighed tiredly and went over to Tatia. And seconds later the screaming ensued.

Please leave me a comment or review :) And I am looking for song requests/suggestions. And if you want to choose who to perform them that would help :) x
