Chapter 17
Once out of the building, we go up in the car and go home.
- "Well, I go on my home ! " Kol said.
- "What ? Why ? "
- "Because I have a date with Bonnie, we discuss to the brunch before Caroline came ! So I'm off ! "
- "Okay ..." I can not continue because Kol is already gone.
I decided to send my record as proof to Caroline, I hope at least she will answer me.
Caroline POV
I've got a message when I eating ice in front of the television, while Bonnie's prepares for her date with Kol.
She returned with a black suit, a gold strap and a pair of heels that put her figure in value. She was tying her hair in a ponytail.
- "I do not know when I will return so don't expect me ! "
- You do not know if you go back ! "
- "Caroline ! "
- "What ? "
- "Nothing ! Good night ! "
- "Last thing, asks if he has a condom before you know what ! "
- "Caroline ! "
- "You're right, you should get one ! "
- "You exasperates me, I'm leaving ! "
- "Enjoy ! " I finished with a faint smile.
I look down on my phone to see that this is a message from Klaus. I have already received three missed calls from him today, but I prefer not to respond.
Without looking at the video, I replied:
- "What is it ? " 7:58 p.m.
It's true that I won't answer, but my curiosity got the better, and if he try to call me, it must be important.
- "Look ! " 7:59 p.m.
- "It'd be easier if you told me ! Like that the conversation is over ! " 8:01 p.m.
- "Maybe I don't want to end it ! " 8:02 p.m.
- "That's your problem not mine ! " 8:02 p.m.
- "Just, look ! " 8:03 p.m.
- "No ! " 8:03 p.m.
- "Why ? " 8:04 p.m.
- "Because I have no time to lose with that, I just thinking it was important ! " 8:05 p.m.
- "It is ! " 8:05 p.m.
- "Caroline ? " 8:08 p.m.
I stop to answer him, but I watch the video. Then I no longer received any message from him.
Klaus POV
I knew I should not send the video. Kol's plan was a bad idea from the start ! I had to be really desperate to follow him !
I then go get a bottle of bourbon ...
I do not know exactly how many drinks I drink but I know that after I took my car and now I'm in front of Bonnie's apartment, quite drunk.
- "Caroline ! I know you're in there, open the door ! "
- "Klaus, what are you doing here ? "
- "Open the door for me ! " I said thickly.
- "No, you're drunk, go home ! "
- "Caroline, open the door or I'll break her ! And I can do it ! " I cry.
- "Stop screaming ! " She said, opening the door.
- "You look beautiful tonight ! " I told her, seeing her in pajamas.
- "What are you doing here ? "
- "Did you see the video ? "
- "Yes. "
- "And ? You come back home ? "
- "No ! Who told me that in another argument you do not sleep with a girl this time ? "
- "Because I will never cheat on you ! "
- "You do not know ! "
"As long as you do not want to come back, I will stay here! " I told her as I sat on the doorstep.
- "You can't stay here, go home ! "
- "Our house you mean ?!"
- "Klaus, do not make me hate you at twenty-two o'clock ! "
- "Do not worry I already hate me ..."
- "Klaus ..."
I tends her my hand for she sit with me on the threshold
- "I stay with you until you leave ! "
- "I'm not leaving ! "
- "We'll see ! "
Forty-five minutes later, we are still sitting on the ground.
- "Klaus, I'm tired ... Please, returns at home ! "
- "Not without you ! "
- "Okay, I'll take you home ! "
- "Okay! "I smile at her
- "Take off your smile. I don't do that for you, I'm just tired ! "
- "Of course! "
Half an hour later, we enter in the apartment.
- "Okay, now that you're home, I leave "
- "No! Caroline stays with me " I cry, trying to hold her by the arm.
She laughs a little of my antics !
- "No, it's late, I need to returned ! "
- "Why ? Nobody is waiting for you ! "
- "What makes you so sure ? "
I frown.
- " What ? "
- "Who told you I was alone in the apartment to Bonnie ? "
- "Because this is the apartment to Bonnie ! "
- "But she's with Kol, so I had all to myself ! ... Or not ... ! " She smiles at me.
I hope she only joking, and honestly, it does not make me laugh.
- "Who you expect then ? "
- "A handsome, muscular brown, sitting on the couch, with nothing but a underpants-"
- "Caroline ! "
- "A problem? After all, nothing happend, I am sure ! "
- "You take my words against me, huh ? "
She shrugs.
I then grabs her by the waist and I put her on my back and take her to the bedroom.
- "Klaus ! Stop ! " she said between laughs.
- "What ? "
- "Rest me now ! "
- "Okay ! " And I put her on the bed.
- "You know what I mean ! "
I then looked into her eyes.
- "Stay with me, at least this evening ..." I said, softly.
- "I can not ..."
- "So it's true ? Someone really waiting for you ? " I said, hoping I'm wrong.
- "No, you're idiot ! It's just that it's too new, I can not act like if nothing happend ! "
- "But there is nothing happend !"
- "It could have ..."
- "Wait for me ! " I said, while I put my pajamas in the bathroom, at any speed.
I hear her sigh and go.
- "Wait Caroline ! " I ran to her, still a little drunk.
When she turns to me, she starts laughing.
- "Klaus, go to bed ! " She said, leaving the room and closing the door.
I sit on the bed disappointed, sad and other feelings that I do not recognize very well.
Maybe this time she really leaves ? I would never have the opportunity to see her in the morning or going to sleep next to her in the evening ...
Then I feel water trickling down my cheeks, and I realize that I cry softly because it hurts to think to the last days together. I lost her, I think ...
And I lie down on the bed.
