The next day at noon in Jackson Square
Klaus joins Cami on a bench. "Klaus, I..." She starts a well rehearsed speech, but he interrupts her. "Before last night, I would be content with being friends … but now I want more." He takes her hand and looks into her eyes. "I'm wooing you, luv. One kiss is not enough." He says. A doubtful expression appears on Cami's face and she retorts, "And what exactly do you hope to accomplish? That we can date like a normal couple?" When he doesn't respond she continues, "I know you Klaus, you'll keep me close like Elijah and Rebekah. You'll get angry when I do something that displeases you and punish me for it." She sucks in her breath, imagining herself in the situation she described. She knows all about the backlash Klaus gave to his siblings. "And I'm already dating Rich. You threatening to kill him doesn't sit right with me." He stares at her for a second, "You can keep dating the git if you wish but now you have one more suitor." He pauses, "I will try not to be overbearing like I have with my siblings… But if you think i'll give up on you so easily you are mistaken." The look on his face is entirely serious. "I need someone who is supportive and empathetic. Neither are qualities you possess. I'm sorry but you're not what I'm looking for." Klaus smirks, "And how would you know without going out with me? I'm asking you out on a date not to get married." Cami is momentarily speechless. Have I over analyzed the situation? Standing up, she says, "I can't get into this right now. I have to go to work." She wants to tell him that she's not attracted to him and that the kiss meant nothing to her, but she'll be lying. She can only walk away before her heart betrays her and gives the egomaniac a chance. Smiling, Klaus watches her leave, "See you later, Cami."
Over the following weeks, Klaus would bring her dinner every night. On days where he cannot personally deliver them one of his minions would. Rich has also noticed Klaus's attempts to woo her. He asked to be exclusive with Cami but with a caveat. He is going to be traveling, gathering research for his PHD thesis. Cami needs to make a decision about her personal life.
