Chapter 8 : You smell like home.
AN: As some of you may have noticed, this story follows the original plot of the movie 'Salaam Namaste' :)
It wasn't a planned thing, I really enjoyed the movie so I just sorta infiltrated it. Not everything will be based on the movie although the story will follow the movie plot.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"How cute aren't these little shoes!" Katherine squealed holding up a pair of baby booties.
"They're adorable." Caroline smiled at Kat who threw them into the cart as they continued to stroll down the aisle at Babies R Us.
"Everything in the cart is pink.." Kol frowned
"Yeah so.." Katherine rolled her eyes
"Well what if its a boy?" He snorted
"Its a girl. I can feel it..." Kat smirked
"I didn't ask you to come to be a commentator. You're here to help carry bags." She added
Katherine had only found out 3 days ago that she was pregnant and was about 2 weeks along, but was insistent on going baby shopping as soon as possible so she asked Caroline and even Kol to tag along. Kol and the two best friends had suprisingly grown close in quite a short time. They learned how to deal with his humor and personality.
Katherine was convinced it was a girl, which is why most of the things in the cart was pink.
"I mean think about it Katerina, there are 4 boys and only one girl in our family." Kol shrugged putting in a few blue one'zies.
"Well there's two girls and one boy in mine." Katherine rolled her eyes taking the blue one'zies out of the cart and putting it back on the shelf.
"Why don't you buy white or yellow things? They're unisex." Caroline suggested
"Euw no. Yellow and white are dull and predictable. My daughter is anything but predictable." Katherine smirked walking further down the aisle
Caroline's phone buzzed indicating an incoming call..
"Hello?"
"Hello love."
"Hi.." She smiled and Kol rolled his eyes already knowing who it was Caroline was on the phone with.
"I can't make it tonight to pick you up love, I've got a meeting with Lexi and some corporates interested in a few paintings.. You carry on with Katerina." He sighed
"No its okay. I've got to do some shopping for the house anyway." She shrugged
"I'll see you at home. I'll be late." He stated
"And I'll be waiting." She replied
She smiled before ending the call.
"God you and Klaus should just do the dirty already and get it over with." Kat snorted
"You mean they've never...?!" Kol asked shocked
"Dammit Kat.." Caroline groaned walking off red in embarresment, now they would never hear the end of it from Kol
"Oh.. Wait till I get Nik with this." Kol giggled mischiefly.
"You will do no such thing." Kat stated before hitting Kol against the back of his head
Kol huffed in protest before taking hold of the cart and pushing on behind his sister-in-law like a trained dog.
To say Klaus was exhausted was an understatement. Not only had he sit in a 2 hour or so meeting with the most indecisive people ever, but he then had to go over some last minute checks with Lexi about another client's painting preferences.
All he wanted to do was get home..
The idea that the 'home' he was refering to was now the home he shared with Caroline, and made it somehow seem 100 times better and more like a home.
Looking back to his old lifestyle, he had been happy to go home..but that was because it was the only place he could have peace and quiet.
But now, it was the happiness that sparked from going home to not only peace and quiet, but a house with a certain blonde beauty in it.
It was almost 2 in the morning when Klaus unlocked the front door to the house.
It was quite dark, so he took it Caroline had been long time sleeping already.
Switching on the lights, Klaus stared in awe to his surroundings...
The house was decorated beautifully with not a single cardboard box in sight.
The kitchen had been stocked, the lighting had been done, even the living room space that was decked in earthy yet elegant themed furniture.
The scent in the air was of vanilla and sweet lavender and that was the cherry on top to the wonderful new furnished home.
This was his home..
Not because it was now properly and fully furnished, but because it smelled like Caroline.
Just taking a huge whiff of the familiar sweet scent he smiled.
"And..?"
"Shit!.. You scared me!. I thought you were sleeping." Klaus breathed out after hearing Caroline's sudden voice come out from behind him.
He turned around to meet her amused gaze.
She had her hair down in natural curls just the way he always liked, but never told her.
A yoga pants that shaped out her body quite nicely and a oversized vintage looking 'Mystic Falls High' sweatshirt.
She was the picture of perfection.
"Not before you came home." She smiled
"Well I've got a lot more work lined up.. So I'll be late most nights." He sighed
"I'll get used to it." She winked. Using his earlier words back at him and then walked further into the living space doing a little twirl and then looking at him with her eyebrows raised
"The house looks amazing love." He smiled
"Thanks." She smiled back
"You did this all in one day?" He frowned
"Yeah well.. Kat helped a little." She shrugged
"Aren't the curtains a little to silky?" He frowned looking at the light shade of blue silk curtains that were somewhat transparent hinting at the beautiful city view.
"And what are the candles for, we never have power cuts." He added
"You aren't even slightly romantic." Caroline rolled her eyes at him
"I love these candles." She frowned picking said candles up from the coffee table
"Smell them." She urged holding them out infront of Klaus.
"What?" He frowned
"Smell them, they're scented candles." She sighed
Klaus leaned forward and inhaled the candle scent. It smelled like vanilla.. And lavender.
So this was why she always had that scent around her..
The thin string of the candle slightly brushed against Klaus's nose causing an itch and ilicited a sneeze.
Caroline frowned
"You don't like anything do you.." Caroline muttered looking dejectedly at the floor.
"No! I love it." He urged
"Difference number 3." Caroline stated before leaving Klaus alone in the living room space as she proceeded to her bedroom.
The sun shone fiercely through the window indicating yet another new and beautiful day in the life of Katherine Mikealson.
Smiling with her eyes still shut, she streched out like a simese cat on the king sized authopedic bed. Reaching out to her side to feel her husband...that wasn't there? His side of the bed that was always warm and familiar was now cold and unslept in.
It was Sunday, he wasn't working nor did he have any meetings scheduled. Elijah had insisted on working from the home office so that he could spend more time with her now that they were expecting. So if he wasn't at work he should have been here,
Frowning she opened her eyes and scowered the large bedroom for him. Looking towards the en suite she called out his name, but no reply.
Getting a little worried and a bit anxious, she slipped on her matching silk robe and cautiously tip toed out the bedroom towards the staircase.
Bare foot walking down the stairs, it hit her..
The wonderful aroma that elicited from the kitchen of eggs, bacon and all sorts of greasey goodness.
She knew exactly where Elijah was.
Flipping over the last two crumpets, Elijah looked up as he noticed his wife's cute little head peak in from the doorway.
"Goodmorning." He smiled at her adoringly
". ," Kat smirked taking in how good he looked this morning. There he stood behind the stove in nothing but a sweatpants. His hard toned chest glistened as the early morning sun shone through the large windows of the kitchen accentuating his toned and chiseled figure that had her mouth drooling for something other than the greasy breakfast.
She walked around the counter and stood behind his back, wrapping her petite arms around his chiseled form as he continued to tend to the crumpets in the pan.
"I made you breakfast just the way you like it.. Greasy and in large portions." He teased
"Yummy." She exclaimed coming to his side grabbing a slice of crisp bacon and ploping it into her mouth
"Katerina, where are you're shoes.." Elijah sighed
"You know walking bare foot will get you both sick." He added placing a protective hold onto her belly.
She just loved how over protective he got..
"Well when I woke up to an empty bed.. I didn't have time to think of slippers, I just wanted to find you.." She purred
"You know how sexy you look while cooking me breakfast.." She bit her lip running her long fingers along his smooth chest.
Katerina was a very sexually aware being, and being with her for years now Elijah was accustomed to this quite well. However as soon as they found out she was expecting.. It was as if Kat had went on overdrive getting a quick fix whenever she could, not that he minded of course.
Lower and lower her hands dropped until they reached the front of his sweatpants.
Katherine ran her fingers atangonizingly slow over the fabric of his pants over his now throbbing manhood.
Elijah's breathing became laboured and the next thing Katherine new, she was lifted up onto the counter with her husband devouring her mouth and neck while her hand worked furiously at his pants.
"You...will be the death of me.." He breathed out as she slipped his hard length out of his pants and wrapped her long slender legs around his waist bringing him closer.
They were both lost in a animal-like frenzy completely focused on satisfying eachother, getting as much of the other person as possible. Both breathing heavy, becoming hot and sensitive to the touches and moans that were elicited.. Both completely forgetting about the crumpets that were now burnt black in the pan.
"Nik!" Caroline called out to him apon enetering the bathroom they shared.
Since there was only one bathroom, it had become hard to alternate between them since Klaus always spent very long periods of time in the bathroom having his 'morning release' accompanied by the newspaper.
It was gross, yet it was Klaus so Caroline had learned to get used to it and alternated around his 'excretion time'.
However the door of the bathroom was slightly ajar so he couldn't be doing 'that'. The shower wasn't running either and waiting ever so patiently to take her morning shower, Caroline eventually gave in and went inside of the bathroom to investigate what it was that Klaus was up to.
A little starteld by the call of his name from Caroline he jerked his head to the side earning a deep cut from the razor blade he had in his hands from shaving.
"Ah..crap!." He groaned feeling the sharp pain
"Oh shit." She stated coming face to face with Klaus who was now bleeding. She realised he had been shaving and she startled him causing him to cut himself
"No, no its fine. Is it...bleeding?" He frowned.
It wasn't that he didn't like blood, its just that seeing blood brought too many unwanted memories for him, especially if being around hospitals accompanied that. It was by choice that he stayed far far far away from all of those.
"Yes." Caroline frowned.
The cut looked deep, not alarmingly deep but deep enough to go to the doctor for stiches kinda deep.
By the worried expression on Caroline's face, Klaus gulped and turned around to face the mirror he had previously been looking into while he shaved.
There he was met with the wound in his neck just below his left ear that was bleeding.
"Crap." He muttered
"Let me take a look." Caroline added moving towards him
"No. Its alright." He replied
"No Nik, its not alright. It looks like a really bad cut. You need to see a doctor." She stated. Her voice being a little raised after hearing his stupid manly pride of refusing to see a doctor.
After hearing the words 'bad' 'cut' and 'doctor' Klaus's whole face drained of colour.
"No! No doctors. I'm fine sweetheart." He urged
"Nik, it looks like you need stiches! Quit being such a baby." She frowned
"No..no stiches." He shrieked
"Listen.. I know my system okay, I'm fine." He added
"Stop being difficult you need a doctor." Caroline wasn't going to take no for an answer. She was stubborn like that.
"No Caroline! I don't like doctors and I definately do not like hospitals either." Klaus exclaimed
Caroline was taken back by his sudden change in tone and physically cringed at his screaming tone.
"What's it about doctors and hospitals that's got you so spooked.." Caroline muttered softly feeling bad and confused after seeing Klaus look dejected and somewhat troubled.
"Sorry..I didn't mean to shout. I just, I don't like doctors or hospitals, best you leave it at that." He sighed
"Well, atleast let me take a look at it? I'm not a doctor."
XXXX
"Stop moving." Caroline sighed
"It'll burn.." Klaus cringed
Klaus was laying on his back fists clenched shut at his sides on his bed while Caroline straddled him leaning slightly down with cotton and antiseptic in hand tending to the wound in his neck.
"It won't." She rolled her eyes. Sometime Klaus was like a putelant child.
"It will." Klaus muttered eyes shut with his face srunched up.
"You won't even know when it happens." Caroline sighed struggling to dab the cut since Klaus quite wiggling and wriggling underneath her form.
Realising she wasn't going to achieve anything like this.. She decided on another approach.
"Close your eyes, and think of something nice.." She stated
"Like?" Klaus frowned eyes still shut
"Like anything. Something you like."
Klaus sighed. He didn't know, he couldn't think right now.
"Imagine me... In a towel." Caroline muttered lowly
Klaus immediately stilled and as his body calmed he actually started to imagine Caroline in a towel, just like that other morning he had seen her come out of the shower.
"Hmm.." Was all he could muster
"Just coming out of the shower.." She added onto her second piece of cotton as she cleaned all the blood from his neck.
"Yes." He whispered eyes still shut lost in an oblivion imagining Caroline
"My hair is wet.." She continued seeing that it was working.. Klaus had completely stilled
"Yes.."
"The water is dripping from my body.." Caroline muttered
"Yes.."
"You come close to me." She smirked relishing in the good idea she had because she was almost done and it seemed to have worked.
"Very close." He muttered imaging her in his head as he eyes remained shut.
"And.." She continued
"And.." Klaus whispered
"And..." She muttered
"And?!" Klaus groaned getting impatient and wanting her to continue the little picture he had going in his head about them.
"And...its done." She smiled
Klaus's eyes shot open in confusion
Then he suddenly remembered she had in fact been dressing his wound
"Its done?" He muttered
"Its done." She smiled
"Hey..finish the story." He added. Taking advantage of their position ontop of eachother. He face was inches away from hers and her petite curvy body was draped on his.
Caroline felt flustered she hadn't exactly thought this out before she straddled him and dressed his wound. Now she found herself in an awkward position ontop of him no less
She liked it.
She was tired of waiting and prolonging the inevitable.
"Come on.." He smirked
"You come closer to me.." She whispered staring into his eyes
Klaus lifted his head from the pillow closer to her face.
"And..." He muttered putting her loose curls that framed her beautiful blushed face behind her ears, so that he could see her face better and come even more closer
"Clo-" Caroline was cut off as Klaus's lips pecked on hers so softly.
He drawed back and gazed into her eyes as if asking for permission to continue..
Her eyes were filled with lust and hunger for him. She gasped
She then pulled him back towards her kissing him fiercely missing the feeling of his lips on hers. Those perfect rosy skillful lips, and tongue.
Klaus wrapped his arms around her form locking her in his embrace so that he had complete control over her and then continued to kiss her.
Gripping her ass, she gasped in his mouth and Klaus took the opportunity to invade her hot mouth with his tongue.
He kissed her again and again, with a driving desperation. Caroline didn't want to care about breathing, she just wanted this not to stop any time soon. She wanted to carry on feeling like this forever. It was insane and she loved it.
'This isn't love' Klaus told himself, and then thought.. 'Why give it a name? Its just incredible -and so is she.' Then he stopped thinking because he was too busy feeling.
Locking her legs within his, he flipped them over and now being ontop, he began to ravish her jawline trailing kisses from her mouth to her neck and collarbone eliciting lustful sounds from Caroline.
Still kissing her body, Klaus slid her tank top off her shoulders and then peeled away her booty shorts leaving her in her panty and bra.
"I have thought about taking off your clothes from the very second I saw you. Have you any idea how good you smell?" Klaus growled as he continued his ministrations to her
He unclipped her bra, and as he cupped on breast in his hand, he rasped
"You're perfect." He sighed and then sucked on her erect nipples until they were plump.
Caroline lay there, and realised that this was the first time in sex that she had actually surrended control. She had no idea that it could be such a spectacularly liberating experience.
This glorious contradiction made her giggle, and then she stopped...as she realised Klaus had moved south and was already pass her belly button yanking off her panty
All those thoughts vanished into her mind as the delicious and enormous gush of pleasure washed over Caroline as soon as she felt his hot and skilled mouth on her wet aching folds.
In and out Klaus would skill his tongue while his thumb worked vigarously on her clit making Caroline cry out in ecstasy.
It wasn't that she hadn't ever been mouth fucked before, its that she hadn't ever been mouth fucked like THIS before. Klaus was a god. And his tongue and excessive knowledge about these things were his powers. She was at his mercy.
Her walls clenched releasing her orgasm and Klaus helped her ride it out with his wonderful fingers.
Feeling the desperate urge of his member to be released. He dropped his pants and looked over her as she still regained composure from her first climax.
The beautiful blonde that lay sprawled out on his bed, legs spread wide while taking laboured breaths as she looked hungrily at him ready to go again.
She gave a fractured gasp as her hot, hungry eyes slid down his sleek hard body.
"Oh, my.." She whispered as he arranged his long length beside her before reaching out to his bedside cabinet to retrive a condom.
Sliding it on, she touched his skin. It was like warm silk.
"I want to touch you.." She muttered as she looked at him the intimate ache between her thighs was back and suddenly turned into an insistent throb.
Klaus held her eyes as she laid a hand on his belly, letting one finger trail downwards, then he groaned and leaning over, fitted his mouth to hers.
Caroline's hands slid into his hair as they kissed. He touched her everywhere, his clever hands gliding over her hot skin.
She groaned, feeling his cool fingers on her heated flesh and writehed with pleasure begging him in a husky, broken whisper not to stop.
"I won't sweetheart." He promised, pressing damp, open mouthed kisses to her neck and eyelids before plunging into the sweet moisture that was her mouth.
When she felt his hard member at her entrance she arched her back forward not wanting to waste a single second.
She parted her thighs even further for him earning a suprised look from Klaus.
Yes... She had been a cheerleader in highschool, don't underestimate her.. She smirked
He settled between her legs when Caroline entered a place she had never been before...
She was beyond sanity. She just knew that if he didn't take her now, she would die.
She screamed something to that effect and dug her nails in his back. In the moment before he thrust all the way into her, hard and hot. She closed her eyes, preserving for ever in her memory the image of his face drawn taut into a mask of raw and primitive need.
As he pumped into her she have a shocked little gasp and whispered 'yes' against the damp skin of his neck. She dug her nails into the firm smooth skin of his shoulders, said yes again as she caught on to the rhythm.
"Look at me.." He said thickly, and she did -just as it hit her so fast and strong that she stopped breathing. Muscles tightened, nerve endings throbbed, all in perfect blissful, mind-blowing harmony.
Insdie her she felt the heat of his pulsing release and her arms wrapped tight around him wanting to prolong this moment forever.
For a long time they just lay there, with his face turned into her neck, their sweat-slick bodies entwined, but finally he rolled away and gave her a sleepy, heartbreakingly gorgeous smile.
"I was tired sweetheart.. Next time it'll be better." He smirked
"Then next time I will die." She responded with total conviction. There was only so much pleasure a body could take.
Pulling her into his arms, he laughed huskily, breathed in her sweet vanilla scent and fell almost immediately asleep.
It had been a good month for Caroline. Not only had she and Klaus grown closer, but the sex was totally amazing. In the total of one month so much had changed...
Caroline had moved into Klaus's bedroom so they used her old room as a workspace for whoever needed it at the time, she had gone on the pill to simplify their sex life a little bit, Kat had a little bump that was totally adorable.., and Juliet was finally reunited with Romeo in their 'single' fish bowl in Klaus and Caroline's bedroom.
The routine they fell into was not only comfortable, but they had both enjoyed it imensely.
At nights he would work late and would come home to a trail of rose petals from the front door all the way to the bedroom where she would wait for him, he would cook a good dinner most nights for her if they were sick of take-out, and they had even started a gym membership together.
Klaus still didn't officially claim Caroline as his girlfriend or anything, nor did he have the worry of explaining to people what exactly they were since they just assumed.
He loved that they were not labeled yet they were so happy. Completely content with their lives and daily routine.
XXXX
It was a chilly morning as Caroline awoke in the warm embrace of a snoring Klaus. She felt so sorry for him, he was always working late and was really exhausted.. She wanted to do something special for him, maybe a romantic dinner and role-play? She knew he liked that.
First on the agenda for Miss OCD control freak of course was her morning jog. Caroline couldn't start her mornings properly without a breath of fresh air and to get her heart pumping.
She would love it if Klaus could join her but alas.. She knew how late he slept in the mornings when he didn't plan a romantic breakfast or anything so she let him sleep.
After sneaking out of his embrace, she quickly threw on a yoga pants and hoody before her run.
It was a chilly morning with a slight cold breeze sweeping in so she decided to run only half a mile.
After locking the front door with her set of keys, she was strectched out and ready for her run.
"Going running?" She heard a voice call out from the adjacent house owned by the landlady Ms Murphy. Only it wasn't the voice of the snobby grump.
"Yeah.." Caroline smiled coming face to face with a pretty woman who looked like she had just gotten out of the house too and was ready for a run as well.
"So you're the new tenant.." The woman smiled
"Well we kinda live here like a few months already, but I guess you could say that.. I'm sorry, who are you?" Caroline frowned
"Oh I'm the landlady's daughter." She smiled
"Do you mind if I join you? I usually run alone since well my mom is too old and lazy to do pretty much anything." She sighed and Caroline giggled
"Of course." Caroline smiled walking forward meeting the woman halfway. She hadn't even thought the grumpy Ms Murphy had children, and a pretty daughter at that, she didn't see much similarities.. Well except for the red hair of course.
"I'm Caroline by the way,"
"Nice to meet you Caroline."
"I'm Genevieve.."
Dun Dun Duuuun!
Yeah it can't be all sunshine and rainbows for too long now can it. Lol
And in case some of you may have forgotten, perhaps you should re-read chapter 1 to remember exactly what part Genevieve has in all this hmm...?
And I know Klaus had previously proclaimed his so called love for Caroline, but remember that at that point he himself wasn't all too sure what they had. Relationships are not his forte so it was merely the idea of love at the time. Right now he sort of comes to realize that he doesn't think his inlove with her...but what do you guys think?
Sorry I took longer than usual to update, I'm in my final year of school, so its been slightly hectic although I will continue to update as much as possible. ;)
Hope the chapter was okay
