AN: Just Klaroline this chapter, and sorry I haven't been good about updating anything lately, I have a lot on my plate right now and I'm doing the best I can. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
She's impressed, if he asks, she'll admit it. It's odd to see him in a suit, Elena's the one who likes the Original who always wears a suit but Klaus cleans up nicely. The entire thing, in her planning oriented mind, is perfect.
The restaurant is quiet, candlelight and live music. The food is amazing, but what really makes it for her, is Klaus. She can see herself dating anyone who she wants, she can see years of dates that are set up perfectly, and going through the different stages of a relationship with different people. But she doesn't think any of that can compare to the hybrid sitting across from her.
She doesn't really want to do any of those things with anyone but him. She can't stop smiling and laughing, and he grins in return.
There's a moment after they finish dinner that she wonders what's next, and she opens her mouth to ask. He stands up, and extends his arm to her.
"Would you dance with me, Caroline?" He asks and just like that, her nervousness is gone.
They mimic the other dancers, and he reminds her of the time they had danced in Mystic Falls. It seems like eons ago, everything there was so tense and rushed. But here, in this restaurant, it seems like they have eternity to spin and remember the steps. The faster tempo is replaced with a slower one, and he carefully pulls her closer. She doesn't mind, and she ends up placing her head on his shoulder for a time, mindful of the steps.
She ends up kissing him, before she says goodnight and retreats to Elena's room. He's an amazing kisser and she loses track of time until they hear Kol and Rebekah swearing at each other. She breaks away and says a quiet goodnight, with a genuine smile.
He walks to his own room, keen on changing out of the suit he's wearing. His date with Caroline went swimmingly, and doesn't hear the betting of his two younger siblings.
"I called it. I bet you your house in Moscow that Caroline would go to Elena after the date, before changing." Kol says and Rebekah sighs. She dials a number and asks one of her lawyers to send legal papers when he can. Her lawyer agrees, and she sighs again as Kol lets out a whoop of victory.
