External
A few minutes later, Klaus heard someone knocking on his door.
- "Came" he expecting to see the doctor.
But he realized that it was Caroline on the other side.
- "Hey! I hope I have not awoken you? " She asks softly.
- "No! I was already for a few minutes. "
- "Good! " She finished before gone to sit on the chair near the hospital bed.
- "In fact, I wanted to talk about a few things ..." begins Klaus.
- "Go ahead"
- "I heard that once I get out of the hospital you would leave the apartment? "
- "Oh ... ah yes that's right, I do not want to be on your back all the time ..."
- "Actually, I would prefer that you stay at least a few days just so I could get my bearings and if you still want to leave at that time so it will be good to me! "
- "I'm not sure is a good idea, anyway, I must attend some events in the coming days, so I would not be necessarily very present ..."
- " I can came with you !"
- "Enzo already go with me ..."
- "Oh ! Of course I did not want to impose myself ..." he said with a bit of disappointment in his voice that he tried in vain to hide and lowering his eyes on his hands.
Caroline must have seen he was disappointed because she finally asked.
- "But if you want you can come to the others ! "
- "No, no do not worry, I do not want you to do it out of pity or other ...! "
- "I do not pity Klaus, really," she insisted when she saw to it did not believe her.
- "You sure it's not you mind having me at your side? "
- "No, and then it not be the first time ..." she said with sadness.
- "So where you have to go? "
- "At the opening of an art gallery this Saturday and brunch in Central Park on Wednesday of next week !"
- "That suits me! " Klaus replied with a smile.
- "So you are ready to leave tomorrow? "
- "Yes, are you not perhaps realize but we really miss in a hospital room," he said with a smile, that laugh Caroline.
And even if it's just a chuckle, Klaus immediately knew it was his favor.
- "So who comes for you and take you home ? "
- "Nobody. But I can return alone very well " he adds.
- "I come !" she said immediately. "I mean, if you want, I would understand if-"
- "I would love it" said Klaus with a smile she gives him.
- "Okay, I'll come around 10am then? "
- "It's good for me do not worry !"
- "I should also take you clothes ..." Caroline says, more to herself.
- "Indeed! Unless I stay naked as I am now in this blouse! Anyway it not be the first time you see me with nothing, " he continues, igniting Caroline.
- "Well, I see tomorrow then! "
- "See you tomorrow Caroline !"
Caroline POV
When I woke up this morning, I dread the fact that Klaus will be here tonight, especially knowing that before we slept in the same bed, that we have ... one bed.
No matter, we will come back in time, so I took a quick breakfast before going into the shower.
On leaving I quickly get dressed because I see that it is already nine hours and a half, so I selected a dark blue Henley, black trousers and a pair of shoes in the closet of Klaus.
I think to take him a coat because it's a bit chilly this morning. I puts his clothes in a bag and I go out.
Arriving at the hospital, I saw an ambulance at the entrance, so I decided to drive around and go to the second door, and by the time I found my way into the hospital made me lose ten minutes. I therefore arrive late before the board of Klaus, and I hate being late ...!
Klaus is already sitting on his bed with a bag on his lap when I arrive.
- "I'm really sorry for be in late !" I said directly arriving.
- "It's good Caroline it's just ten minutes," he replied with a smile.
- "I know, but still " I keep giving him the bag containing his clothes.
- "Well, I'm going to change in the bathroom and I get"
- "Okay! "
Klaus came out a few minutes later. Wren's get to this point and prescribed some medicine and it has a little talk before we leave.
On leaving hospital, I called a taxi and we climbed aboard.
When the taxi arrived near 1055 Madison Ave, opposite the spa Clarins skin and thus to our apartment, we are down.
- "There are lots of galleries around and this is mainly why you'd like, while I was because I love the neighborhood. " I told Klaus so that we arrive at the door of our apartment.
I open it and put my bag on the kitchen counter.
Klaus POV
When I enter the apartment, I get directly into the open kitchen to the living room. The sofa is back and in front of a TV, left there are two large windows allowing light to pass. I decided to explore the apartment, once in the hallway, I see four doors, two to my right and two to my left. I open the first one on my right to find the room, our room.
To the right is the bed, left a large closet that is the angle and a hairdresser near the large window that is in front of me and that leads to the outside stairs.
In the second door on my right there is the bathroom, with a sink in front of me, a bath to my left and opening a door to my right there are the toilets.
Then I opened the first door on my left, and there is an office with a desk to my right and above several magazine covers, pictures of me and Caroline, Caroline and her friends and others as her parents (I guess). On the left there is a small library formed by horizontal shelves and a sofa downstairs.
The last room contains a painting workshop, which must surely be mine. It is covered with white sheets and there is only one cabinet in front of the window with paint cans and brushes posed above. There are a few white tables set on one side of the wall and work begun on an easel.
- "You find your workshop on" I hear Caroline behind me, and I can also guessed she smiles.
- "Yes, I also visited the apartment," I replied, turning to her. "I really like. Even if it's more in the modern style that does not bother me so strangely. "
- "There. " She said, handing me a cup of tea. "This is about you that at the beginning was not so excited about this award but I managed to convince you to trust me and you finally have liked."
- "And I'm sure I would do it again !"
Before she could speak, the phone rings. She walks to the living room to answer it.
A few minutes later, I had my turn leads me to see that she hangs up.
- "Nothing serious? "I ask him.
- "No, no it was the office called me to confirm my attendance at events! "
- " Oh ok. "
In the afternoon, my brothers and sisters came to see how I was and remain for a little while while Caroline's return to the office some hours.
