Chapter 19

Caroline POV

I felt something tickle my arm. When I woke up, I found Klaus watching me and gently caressing my arm, to be sure I'm awake, well, I think that's why ...

- " Hey you ! " I said softly, smiling

- " Hey ! "

- " You planned some thing today ? "

- " Yes, and tomorrow too ! " He always tells me, looking at me.

- " Where are we going ? "

- " Picnic in the Brandy Wine Park and then we could visit Wilmington ? "

- " It's great ! Plus the weather should be sunny today ! "

- " Perfect ! "

Klaus POV

When Caroline returned, she wore a blue dress, a black vest, who was happening at the same level as the dress and black sandals.

- " Ready to go ? " she asks me.

- " Of course ! " I replied, taking the basket with food inside.

When we arrive at the Brandy Wine Park, the weather was fine. We decided to walk a little. We pass over a bridge and then I unfold the blanket and sits in the grass.

We discuss about everything and nothing until I start to open the basket. There salad, sandwich, cheeses, fruit, and wine. We starts eating salad and sandwiches when I heard Caroline's voice.

- " Nik ? "

- " Hmm ? " I smile at her, continuing to eat.

- " Thank you ! "

- " For what ? " I ask her.

- " For everything, for this weekend here for the picnic, to be there ... "

First, i don't know what to say.

- " I just want you to know that mean a lot to me and I really enjoy but you were not forced to do all of that ! " she continue.

- " I'm glad you appreciate it and you deserve much more Caroline ... " I replied softly.

- " Why do you say that ? "

- " Because it's the truth ! "

- " I did nothing special ... "

- " It's not true, sweetheart, you were with me all this time, you're stay when I was in the coma, you came to see me day and night, you help me in the hospital, you agree that I accompany you to the various events ... "

- " It's normal Nik, I do not understand why you think I deserve something special while I'm just staying with you ! "

- " Because it means a lot to me ... " I replied, looking into her eyes smiling and she did the same.

Later, Caroline eat grapes when she turns to me with a gleam of amusement in her eyes.

- " You think you can catch it ? "

- " What ? " I asked confused.

- " The grapes ! " She said, by lifting one end of the bunch.

- " You underestimate me if you think I'll miss it ! " I told her confident.

She then launches me but at the last moment, she cry.

- " Careful, a bee ! "

I turn and then misses the grape, but I see nothing.

I hear laughing and then realized that she had lied.

- " You have missed ! " she said between laughter.

- " You are simulate there was a bee ! " I tell her !

- " You have still miss it ! "

- " It's not fair ! " I said, crossing my arms over my chest in sulking.

Caroline POV

He's just so cute at that time !

- " Are you pouting ? "

- " No ! " he replied annoyed.

- " Come on, it was just a joke !" I said to him in approximating me.

- " It was not funny ! "

I still brings me closer to him.

- " You know, we can always back to the hotel and cancel this afternoon ... "

- " I do not think it will be worth it ... " he replied, smiling a little.

- " Ah ! " I cry and I woke up.

- " What happend love ? "

- " There is a bee just beside you ! "

- " Yeah, really funny Caroline, but it will not work twice ! "

- " This time it's true ! " and I do not lie. He then returns to view.

He try to make the bee go away with his hand and five minutes later she was finally away from us.

He starts to tidy the picnic and I extends his hand so that he gets up with me.

- " So will we explore Wilmington now ? " I said, smiling.

- " Let's start ! " he replies with a smile and I see his dimples. He's really beautiful ...

Klaus POV

During the visit, we go to Wilmington National Cemeter and then we continue the visit at foot.

And I feel Caroline stop walking next to me. When I look back at her, her eyes are open wide and the mouth too, it's like, she is in trance.

- " Caroline ? " I said worried.

No answer.

- " Caroline, what's going on ? You saw something ? Do you not feel well ? "

Still nothing, I gently raises my hand on her shoulder.

- " Oh god, I can not believe it ! Never in my life I would have thought being here ! "

- " Here where ? "

- " Here on this bridge, it's magic ! "

- " What ? It's just an ordinary bridge Caroline ! " I said, completely confused by her actions.

- " Just an ordinary bridge ! Klaus, you can not be serious ! This is THE bridge, the bridge in the series One Tree Hill ! When Lucas Scott walk with a basketball in the hand in the generic ! " she said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

She had to see my profound confusion as she released her phone. She clicks on a video and show me.

- " Look ! Do especially attention to the beginning and the end ! "

And yes, the bridge we are is the bridge is located in the generic or a man walking by bouncing a basketball.

- " And it is known ? "

- " Known ? Of course it is known, is like the best series in the world ! "

She then handed the video.

" I don't wanna be anything other that what i've been trying to be lately ..."

Then I hear what I assume to be the generic music.

"All I have to do is think of me and i've peace of mind ..."

I realize then that Caroline sings account. Knowing the words by heart.

" I don't wanna be anything other that what i've been trying to be lately ...

All I have to do is think of me and i've peace of mind.

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do or who i'm supposed to be.

I do not wanna be anything other than me "

- " We're really on the bridge " she said still smiling.

- " I think so ! "

- " We absolutely need to went to the basketball court in the movie ! " she continues not even hiding the excitement in her voice

- " What ? "

- " In the series, there are two teenager Lucas and Nathan Scott, and the two boys play basketball on a specific court ..."

- " And you'd want to see it ? "

- " If you would, I don't want to spoil your day ... with- "

- " As long as I spend time with you it will be very far to be ruined ! "

- " Really ? "

- " Yes ! "

- " Wait, I take pictures of the bridge ! "

Later, Caroline is like a child, she just smiled all the time after the bridge and her eyes are amazed when we begin to move toward the court. She always takes lots of pictures and all !

- " Thanks for everything Nik, it was really a wonderful day, the best of my life with you ! " she said, approaching me. And before I could answer, she wraps her arms around my neck. I then wrapped my arms around her waist and we stays that way for a few minutes.

Then we decided to back to the hotel in Philadelphia. But this day will be mark in my mind ...
