Its 7:30 on a Friday evening, Camille's getting ready for her first date with Klaus. Against her better judgment, she decides to give him a chance. Looking into the mirror, her hair's artfully put up half way and her make-up is carefully applied. Don't get your hopes up, Cami. You are going out with a guy whose relationship IQ is in the negatives.
The door bell rings. Cami opens the door and sees Klaus standing outside. Looking poised and smug, he's dressed in a tailored black shirt and a leather jacket, both compliment his strong features. A smile forms on his lips,"You look beautiful tonight, Camille." He gives her an appreciative look. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." Cami feels heady. being the object of Klaus' attention makes her feel like a giddy teenager. Holding his arm out for her. "Let's go." He commands
Klaus takes her to dinner where he reserves the whole restaurant for a party of two. A violinist plays the Moonlight Sonata while they dine. He makes polite conversation, both feeling the awkwardness of a first date.
After dinner, they walk along Jackson Square, listening to street musicians and watching paintings being drawn. It reminds them of the first night they had met. Feeling more at ease, Klaus talks about the light hearted events of his past. Events such as the grand gestures a certain French aristocrat made toward Rebekah and how Klaus stole the virtue of a 17th century Russian princess. He talks about them like they are ordinary events. Laughing softly, Cami chimes in, "These stories are as outrageous as the man who tells it." She stops and peers up at him.
Klaus smiles bitterly, "when I'm not plotting against my enemies or meddling in family drama, I enjoy the simple pleasures of life."
"Ahhh, cavorting with royalty and having affair with a princess aren't exactly simple pleasures." "I feel like a lecture coming." Klaus says mischievously.
Cami thinks for a moment then grabs Klaus arm. "Come on. I'll show you what normal people do for fun." Instead of asking where they are headed, Klaus lets her take the lead.
They end up inside a video arcade where there are quite a few retro games like Qbert, Doom, and Mortal Kombat. "This is what you call it simple pleasure?" Klaus cannot hide his disappointment as he looks around the arcade.
Putting her hand out in front of him, Cami says "I need quarters." The next few hours went like a blur. Klaus watches her play at first but then gets hooked shooting zombies. His vampire reflexes help him kick ass in every game. Before they realize, the arcade is closing. Klaus compels the store clerk to leave the store open. By 2am, they finally leave the place. Stretching her achy hands Cami says, "My thumbs are twitching. That's how long I've played tonight. " Klaus takes her hand and rubs her palm. Instead of riding in his car, they decide to walk back to her place. They stop in front of her apartment door, "Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed every moment." he looks intimately at her face. Yawning, Cami responds, "I had a good time, too." She unlocks her door and turns around to say goodbye. Klaus leans in and plants a kiss on her lips. "I'll see you in a few hours, Luv."
"Good Night." Cami smiles and closes her door. That night, she dreams of the bad boy.
