Chapter 11

I suddenly heard a phone ring and I opened my eyes to find Caroline lying next to me on the couch.

- "Um, hi ! " She said nervously.

- "Hi ! Sleep well ? " I answer to lighten the mood when I realized that I still have my arm around her stomach.

- "Yes ... uh, I should probably answer to the phone," she said, pointing to the object that has been ringing for several seconds.

- "Oh, sure, go ahead," I said, removing my arm for let her answer.

- "Hello? Oh, hi Bonnie ! Yes i'm fine and you? I'm listening! Yes, Enzo confirm me that " I hear. " Klaus is proposing to accompany me so normally it's good! Do not worry I know who will come ! You will find out at that time Bonnie! Yeah, yeah ... See you soon, kisses bye ! " Then she hangs up.

- "There is a problem with the fact that I accompany you ?" I ask, hoping that there have not !

- "No, I just needed to confirm, to made, Bonnie finds no one to accompany her, you think your brother could come? "

- "Elijah is not with Katherine this night ? "

- "No, not that one, Kol ! They are closer or at least try it but Bonnie is not the kind of give him a chance so I think that would be good if he came to the brunch! "

- "Oh, I could talk to him! "

- "Okay thank you, that would be really great! " She finished with a smile.

- "At done, I wanted to ask you something ..." I began, not sure to how continue.

- "Go ahead! "

- "Uh, actually when I was in hospital I had two rather realistic dreams and I wonder if they are not fragments of memories coming back ..."

She then sits down beside me on the couch, ready to listen.

- "The first one I had was at Gallow Green in New York, I think we qualify as our first date. You wore a black top with a gold sequined shorts and I told you that you could call me Klaus or Nik and you call me Nik. "

- "Oh my god, yeah, it really happen ... I ... I do not really know what to say ..."

- "There's also another, this time, we are in California and you want to do rollerblades, I agree with some difficulty, then we share a ride, we go into a museum and after you want to go to a store. Late in the afternoon, we leave the rollers at the merchant and hand sit on the beach to watch the sunset. "

Caroline is speechless for a while before she breaks the silence.

- " You remember," she whispers, "Your memories come back to you slowly and ..."

Then she suddenly throws at me, his arms clinging to my neck. Caught in the moment, I encircles her waist with my arms and pulls her close to me. I sense the smile before she says :

- "Nik! I can not believe your memories come back! "

I note mentally that she call me Nik but I not told her because I fear she will regret it and tries to catch up.

Caroline POV

Saturday night comes quickly, and the opening of the gallery which I attend. While Klaus is brewing in the room, I did the same in the bathroom.

I wear a dark blue strapless dress with floral motifs that is crossed in the back with a pair of black heels to match the color patterns. I make up slightly mainly with light pink. I put a gold necklace representing an arrow.

- "Caroline … ?" I hear Klaus calls me from the bedroom.

- "Yes? "

- "Can you come help me please, I'm not very endow with my tie ..."

I then leaves the bathroom and come into the bedroom, I then saw Klaus miserably in front of the mirror trying to put his black tie.

I stand in font of him and then help him.

Klaus POV

At first I did not really pay attention to Caroline when she enters in the room to help me but when she is placed in front of me, I stare at. I did not even pay attention to the fact that my mouth slightly open.

- "Here," she said, drawing back a little.

Then I resumed my spirits.

- "You're really beautiful Caroline" I said.

- "Thank you, you're not so bad," she replies with a smile.

We then headed for the door, I help her to put on her pale pink coat, give her his bag and we went.

Arriving at the gallery, we notice that they are already many people inside.

I out of the taxi and opened the door for Caroline, then I tends her for she takes my hand, smiling at her.

When entering, I immediately see that the male eyes are on Caroline, what makes me grit my teeth, but she does not seem to notice as she leaves to join Bonnie who speaks with Kol.

- "Hi, you two," she said, arriving near the bar arrange for the evening.

- "Hey blondie! You're very beautiful tonight, " replied Kol. What makes me even more bite the bullet. "But not as beautiful as Bonnie! "

- "Hello Care! "

- "Thank you Kol, although I do not know if I should take it well or not ..."

- "Caroline! " Says a guy approaching her to hug her, which makes me shake my fists now, though I can not say anything.

- "Hey! Marc, how are you? "

- "Fine and you my darling, ready for a fun night !"

- "Sure ! Marc it's Klaus " she introduces me, showing me.

- "Nice to meet you! " He told me.

- "Same" I answered before we shake hands.

- "Well, I leave you, enjoy the night !" said Marc.

- "You too," she told him before he left. "We continue ?"

- "With pleasure," I smile at her before giving her my arm for she can take it and she does. "So Marc and you are ... friend? "

- "Yes, we've known for a few years! "

- "We can see that you are close! " I replied, trying to make her understand where I would going.

- "Not as much as you think." she said. I raise an eyebrow.

- "I'm not his type." She continues.

- "It astonishes me love, all male eyes turned to you when we entered! "

She then starts to laugh.

- "What it's so funny? " I then asked her irritated.

- "What I mean is that I'm not this type because he's gay! " She finally said between laughs.

- "Oh ..." was my only reply, I'm feel stupid at this moment..

- "You make you realize that you were jealous for nothing! "

- "I was not jealous, just curious! "

She throws me a look that means I have not convinced ...

After that, the evening is going pretty well, she forces me to dance a little, even if it's good to be close to her, looking at the various painting of the gallery, she listens to me quietly when I comment some and ask to opinion of some people for her article. While I talk with Kol when he is no longer with Bonnie and then we decide at half past midnight to come home.

When we arrive at the apartment, we start to put our pajamas, brushing our teeth and go to bed in our room, our bed, like every night since I got home, and even if we not really did touch, the only presence of the other helps us fall asleep peacefully.

In the next chapter, Klaus going still talking about that night with Hayley to his brother and sister ... ! I hope you like it !
