Here's the next update :)
It was the next day and they all had a break from the competition which everyone was thankful for. Everyone planned to meet for breakfast and strategize for the rest of the competition, seeing as it was coming to it's final rounds. Caroline woke up with a smile plastered on her face when memories of last night flooded back to memory. The kiss with Klaus. Dancing with him the rest of the night.
They went separate ways when they got back, both knowing they were a little too drunk and wanting the first time to be special. Caroline rummaged through her closet looking for something to wear, finally deciding on mint green denim hot pants, a pale taupe racer back tank and her Luichiny Rose Anna army coloured heels she headed down to breakfast.
Much like Caroline, Klaus woke up with a big grin on his face and couldn't wait for the day to begin. He got dressed and hurried down to breakfast in the hopes of seeing his Caroline.
"I'm telling you Caroline is not going to like this" Katherine said nervously, pushing eggs around her plate.
"Caroline's not going to like what?" Caroline asked as she pulled the chair next to Klaus out and gave him a short, sweet kiss on the lips when he looked up at her.
"Nothing" Katherine rushed to say.
"Katerina" Elijah warned, giving her a reprimanding look, "she's going to find out eventually. Better her hear it from you."
"Okay you guys are seriously worrying me now. What the hell is going on?" Caroline said looking at everyone on the table only for them to avoid eye contact.
"Care…" Katherine started hesitantly only to be cut off by Damon.
"Oh for gods sakes. Care bear, you're mum's found you and she's about to walk over to us now. So plaster that fake 100 watt smile on your face and stop looking like a smacked arse." Damon said calmly, enjoying the look on Caroline's face when her mother was mentioned.
"Caroline! Honey!" Caroline heard from behind her and she cursed under her breath. She looked down at her lap, let a deep breath out and raised her head up with a brilliant fake smile on her face.
"Mother!" she exclaimed and pushed back from her seat and hugged her mum. Klaus leaned across the table and gestured for Damon to do the same. The latter rolled his eyes before sighing and leaning forward.
"What's up with Caroline's mother?" Klaus asked quietly, making sure they couldn't hear him as they were standing behind him.
"Last I checked she was married. You dog! I didn't realise you were into mothers?" Damon baited Klaus and smirked when he saw Klaus clench his fists on the table.
"You know what I meant" he said through gritted teeth.
"They have a bit of a… How do you put it nicely? Caroline's mother is a control freak who wanted tutus and tiaras, and Caroline is well… not wearing tutus and tiaras." Damon explained before going back to his breakfast. He snuck food off Bekah's plate and received two smacks to the back of his head from her.
"What was that for?" he spoke with his mouth full of pancake.
"Eugh" Rebekah groaned "the first one was for teasing Nik like that, the second was for stealing off my plate, and the third was for talking with your mouth full like a caveman."
"You only hit me twice?" Damon said confused only to receive another smack to his head.
"That's three" Bekah said jovially before continuing with her breakfast. Behind them Caroline felt like she wanted to grab Klaus' butter knife and stab her self several times.
"What're you doing here?" Caroline asked her mum who was looking at Caroline's attire with distaste.
"Can't a mother drop by and see her daughter unannounced?" Liz asked while dragging Caroline over to a two person table and making her sit down.
"Well of course you can, but whenever you do there is a reason, so what is it?" Caroline asked reluctantly. The last time her mum appeared unannounced she ended up in the Miss Universe competition and ended up getting into the final rounds begrudgingly.
"Well, now that you asked. I'm having a gala here tonight and it would be so wonderful for you to attend and perhaps sing us a little something while you're at it." Liz said putting her phone on the table and looking at Caroline expectantly.
"I dunno mum" Caroline started only to be cut off.
"I don't know. Not 'I dunno' Caroline. We do not slur our words. And there are no exceptions, I expect you and all your…" Liz looked over to the table Caroline was sitting at and where her band mates were currently tossing bits of food at each other, "acquaintances to attend. I have had a dress sent up to your room and the songs in which you will perform. See you tonight honey. And don't forget mother knows best" Liz stood up and gave Caroline air kisses and walked off.
Caroline's eye started twitching and she ground her teeth together.
"What a pleasure it's been. Mother." She spat out bitterly before returning to her table.
"Which one?" she demanded when she reached the head of the table, commanding everyone's attention. Everyone looked slightly scared and didn't want to speak up.
"Which one of you ass wipes called my mother?" Caroline ground out, she moved from person to person until she reached Elijah who looked away when she tried to make eye contact with him. Klaus had slowly stood up and made his way over to her.
"Elijah. Did you call my mother?" she asked calmly trying to reign in her current anger.
"It's a possibility, that I might or might not have called your mother. Yes." Elijah said guiltily. Caroline lunged at him only for Klaus to wrap his arms around her waist and hold her back.
"Katherine! I'm going to murder your husband!" she shouted trying to scramble out of Klaus' grasp to get to Elijah. Rebekah and Lexi who had never seen Caroline so livid started screaming and crying, leaving their counterparts not knowing what to do to calm them down. Katherine was trying to block Caroline's view of Elijah and Elijah was trying to move Katherine so she wouldn't get hurt.
"Love, you're making a scene" Klaus whispered into her ear.
"I don't bloody care if I'm making a scene Niklaus Mikealson! I'm going to kill your brother!" she screamed and continued thrashing. But she stopped when a pint of vodka was held in front of her face, she looked at the hand and followed it up to the face of Kol who was grinning at her.
"You look like you could do with a drink" he said simply, and everyone's jaw dropped when Caroline stopped shouting or thrashing and took the drink and calmly sat back down.
"Good girl" Kol patted her head and sat back down.
"Caroline I am truly sorry, I thought it was a good thing to do. She kept wanting to get in touch with you and meet up" Elijah explained, still somewhat hiding behind Katherine.
"Well, now you're all going to pay. My mother is throwing a gala and we all must attend." She said as she drank her vodka, "and before you start getting excited Beks, know that whatever any of us do right, she will find something wrong. And in doing that she will insult you and degrade you until you feel like shit and then she will stomp on you, fluff her hair and walk off as if nothing's happened. After all mother knows best."
Rebekah's initially excitement turned into fear and nerves.
"I don't wanna go" she whispered sulkily.
"I don't want to go, Bekah. Not 'I don't wanna go'. We do not slut our words." Caroline mimicked her what her mum had said to her not more than a few minutes ago.
"And besides we wouldn't have to go if it wasn't for James Bond over here." Caroline snapped before downing her drink and walking away from everyone.
"Care, some of us haven't finished breakfast, and we haven't talked about the songs for the competition?" Stefan called out.
"Well, I have to go learn 3 different songs on the piano for the damn gala thing tonight. So excuse me if I don't have time for this." Caroline said still walking away. Everyone let out the breaths they were holding and looked at one another.
"How did you know alcohol would calm her down Kol?" Lexi turned to him and found him grinning like the Cheshire cat.
"I didn't, she was either going to drink it or throw it at Elijah" Kol shrugged simply, receiving a glare from his brother, "hey don't give me that look. This is all your fault." Klaus sighed and pushed away from the table, deciding to go check on Caroline.
Klaus knocked on Caroline's door and heard her shuffling around inside. Finally Caroline swung the door open and the sight Klaus was greeted with made him laugh.
"Shut. Your. Face. Mikealson." Caroline grumbled before turning back into her room expecting him to follow, which he did.
"Sorry, you're right. It's not funny" he chuckled.
"Then why are you laughing!" She turned and looked at him.
"Because you looked like an oversized chicken in that dress" he struggled to say between his laughter, he had bent over and had his hands on his knees. He felt something soft hit him and saw a pillow fall to the ground.
"I know that!" Caroline shrieked before grabbing a pair of scissors and cutting her way out of the dress, "what woman would ever want to be seen in this! God! My mother sucks! Mother knows best my ass."
Klaus couldn't help but chuckled at the sight of Caroline cutting up the remaining scraps of the dress, "it wasn't that bad." He tried to reason.
"You said it yourself Klaus, I looked like a oversized plucked chicken!" Caroline threw the scissors and fabric on the table of her room and grabbed one of Kol's shirts that he left behind and threw it on. Klaus stopped laughing and moving when he saw his brothers shirt on Caroline. Caroline noticed that he stopped laughing and turned to see him standing there stock still, eyes full of anger and jealousy and his fists and jaw clenched. She was about to ask him what was wrong when she noticed he was staring at the shirt, she sighed and walked over to him.
"Klaus let me explain" she said cupping his face with her hands.
"Explain why you're wearing my brothers shirt? Or why you still have it?" he ground out.
"Kol means nothing to me, we had a friends with benefits thing going on. That's it. Nothing more than that, you have to believe me" she said moving her thumbs back and forth across his cheeks.
"Are you still sleeping with him? I mean obviously you are. I mean you're wearing his fucking shirt!" Klaus pushed her hands away and started walking towards the door.
"No I'm not still sleeping with him, he left the shirt here! By accident! God! Why are you making such a big deal out of this! This was before you and I decided to be together! You were with Tatia and I had no one! So what's the big deal!" Caroline shouted, storming after him.
"The big deal is that I lo… I care about you! Okay!?" Klaus spun around and shouted back, cursing himself for nearly saying he loves her and hoping she didn't notice his slip up.
"Okay" Caroline said softly and pulled the shirt off and threw it in the bin, she walked over to Klaus and tugged off his Henley. Klaus threw her a confused look and then saw her pull it over her thin frame and smile hesitantly at him.
"Better?" she asked looking at him through her lashes.
"Better" he said pulling her to him and placing a kiss on her head.
"Good, now you are going to go get a blue tie and swish suit for tonight. And I will see you then" Caroline said pulling him close by his necklaces.
"Okay" he nodded and kissed her back before leaving the room. Caroline looked at all of the yellow material and feathers strewn about her room.
"Fuck, it looks like I just murdered Big Bird in here." She murmured before rolling her eyes and getting to work on the music. Tonight was going to be a very, long night.
Comment and reviews please :) also I need a song that Caroline is going to sing at the gala, one that has a nice piano version, so leave me some suggestions :) x
