Chapter 5

Klaus POV

She shows me photos of us on vacation in Rome, Paris, Tokyo, one of us at Central Park or even in the Museum of Modern Art or on our first date at the Gallow Green or Time Square, also in a festive street train dancing in New Orleans, then on a beach in California by skates and still others.

Then gradually, photos are becoming increasingly rare until there is only those of our birthday and Christmas.

I suddenly felt some thing on my shoulder and when I look over I see that Caroline is sleeping on it, it is already five hours and a half when I finished flipping the photo album. I then noticed a small piece of paper is deep in the album, bend over backwards.

I see this is a drawing of Caroline asleep on a sofa, I suspect it's me he's done, I returned it to see that back there writing 'Always and Forever' .

I decided to lie down next to her, wrapping my arms around her body and bringing it closer to me, our noses almost touching and the room is almost dark, there remains only the glow of the sky through the curtains to enlighten us. And I am with Caroline asleep beside me.

External

When Elijah enters the hospital after work, it is always dressed in a suit and realizes that hallways are quiet. It is six hours and forty-five and he hopes that his brother did not pass examination or otherwise.

He then knock on the door of his brother's room to see if he's there or not. No answer, so he tries again.

Caroline POV

I wake up lying on a bed with one arm around my belly. I feel almost glued to the chest of someone but strangely it is not an unpleasant feeling.

Suddenly I hear knocking a second time, so it's the same sound that made me wake up.

- "Enter" I call softly, not to wake Klaus if it's the nurses.

Then I saw the door open and realize that it's Eli.

By raising his head a little, I realize that I am squeezing chest Klaus.

Great, there was no better input Elijah could have done that at that moment, or I do not feel at all exposed, half asleep and lying on the same bed that Klaus, stick to it!

- "Oh, hello Caroline, I would not wake up, I could always board tomorrow-"

- "Oh, no, it's good Eli, I'll wake Klaus so he can see you !"

- "Klaus ... " I called softly, almost in a whisper for not scared him.

No answer I ressaye.

- "Klaus !" a little louder this time, but still nothing, I then gently touched his shoulder and it is at this moment he opens his eyes.

Klaus POV

I am in front of the Gallow Green in New York, at the entrance there as an arch with climbing plants and paths made with planks of wood, and candles show the access the restore.

"Hey," I hear the sweet voice of Caroline behind me. I then returns to view dressed in a black crop top, shorts with gold has sequins, a pair of white gold heel with the front of a white cardigan with a gold bag she carries over one shoulder.

I find her immediately beautiful, my eyes are on her and only her, I then forget the scenery and all that is happening around.

She also put her hair in loose curls boulées that go wonderfully him.

I tend his arm for her to take and we go into the restore.

- "So Niklaus Mikaelson, what are you doing in life? "

- "You can call me Klaus or Nik love, and I work in finance."

- "Oh, interesting Nik"

And I realize that my name sounds perfectly on her lips.

- "What about you, or you work? "

- "I'm working for a really important magazine in New York"

I have not had time to say anything other than the server arrives to take our order and we offer two glasses of champagne.

We raise our glasses 'In our first date'.

- "And certainly not the last," I announce to him that moment with a smirk.

- "Arrogant and to be what I see as beautiful qualities"

- "That amplifies my natural charm," I add, and I also happen to make her laugh.

I feel push gently on my shoulder.

- "Klaus? "

I hear someone calling me but I can not seem to recognize the voice.

When suddenly I open my eyes and find myself face Caroline, lie on a hospital bed and I realize then that it was a dream.

By turning me gently on the right I see Elijah looking at me, frowning.

- "Niklaus, you okay? "

- "Elijah, what do I owe the honor of your presence? "I ask no attention to that previous question.

- "I wanted see how my brother is, I did not know you were sleeping, if i've knew I would have come later."

- "No, it does not matter Eli, I think I'll go any way, it's getting late"

- "You want me to walk you Caroline? "

- "Oh, you did not want to spend some time with your brother? "

- "From what I heard it's almost the luck to her care so I think I could not stay anyway"

I watched as my brother. Of course it would propose to bring Caroline at her home ! Our home !

Miss more than that, between him and the doctor I have the impression that it is that which makes it the most to impress Caroline who will win. And that put me out of me ! In case they have forgotten I decide to redeem myself from my previous behavior with Caroline costs !

Caroline should see my expression because she approaches me.

- "I'll say goodbye to him Eli, you can wait in the car if you want! "

- "All right, bye Niklaus, takes care of you !"

I do not even answer and I hope he understands that I will not let him go there or want to Caroline while I'm alive.

- "Do not you think you're a little hard on your brother? He does everything so that it goes well when you send and you know not every time " reprimand me Caroline.

- "I would be helpful to him if he does not try to put you hands on it," I told her and we could hear a can of anger in my voice.

- "What? Klaus, Elijah just trying to be nice to me and nothing else, because it's in his nature! "

"Of course, the noble Elijah will come and with his legendary kindness and do not hesitate to put me low blows me when I least expect it! ". And i remember what happed with Tatia years ago.

- "We'll talk later in any way, he waiting for me in the car ..."

- "Oh, of course, do not let him wait ! " I announce with obvious anger in my voice this time. "If you find the time, come see me tomorrow, unless Elijah rest in our apartment for clean and not let a trace of my passage the bottom! "

- "Klaus! Nothing will happen between me and Eli ! Maybe you do not trust your brother but at least have confidence in me, " she said with anger in her voice, too, now.

She's right, I should not even have a fit like that because we are more together but it's stronger than me. No matter if I want her to come back tomorrow I better be careful about my words. A moment passes before I finally said to her :

- "I grieve Caroline, I did not mean it like that it's just ... I grieve"

- "Well, I repasserais tomorrow ... ! You want some thing in particular? "

- " Breakfast?! "

She looked up to heaven before smiling and leaving the room.
