Caroline's POV
"Next time, when you want to cross the street, be more careful. Did your parents not teach you to use the crosswalk?"
He still has his arms around my waist and I'm still looking into his eyes.
"Hello, I'm talking to you!" ... "Caroline"
"I... I'm fine. Thank you."
"Do you want me to take you home? You seem scared, and I think if I let you drive, you won't make it home alive. So, let's go."
"But I'm okay. It was just a scare, and nothing more. I'll drink a little bit of water, and I'll be fine "
"God you're so stubborn , come with me to my car so we can go home together . I know you are my brother's favorite employee, and I have to keep you safe. So, let's go love."
"I'm not going anywhere with you."
"Listen, I know I gave you the wrong impression, sweetheart, and I'm sorry for that, but I want to be your friend."
"Fine, I'll let you drive me home, but tomorrow morning you will take me back here, and my name is Caroline, so stop with all this endearments."
"I know," he started grinning, showing off his dimples. Ugh, stupid dimples!
"Let's go to my car." We go to his car, and he drives us home.
"So, Lo... um, Caroline, since when do you work for my brother?"
"A year and a half." Oh my god, stop being so freaking adorable and please stop showing those dimples...
"Cool."
"Yeah..."
"You're still in college?"
"Yes. I will start my last year of college in two months. You?"
"I just finished college last month."
"What did you study?"
"Literature, of course. You?"
"English. I want to be a teacher after I finish my studies."
"Oh, cool."
"And what do you want to do now?"
"To publish some books. I just finished writing one and I'm waiting for the verdict. If Elijah decides to publish it or not..."
"Wait... You are Niklaus Mikaelson? You wrote the book However long it takes?"
"You've heard of me! Fantastic," he started laughing at me.
"Shut up, Dickhead," I swatted his arms.
"Again with the names, sweetheart. How come it's okay to call me by names but the same doesn't go for you?" He asked me with his arched eyebrows.
"Seriously!" And then we both started laughing.
"By the way, I have your book."
"What?"
"Elijah gave me the manuscript of your book."
"And?"
"And?"
"You read it?"
"Um, yeah, I read it."
"Do you like it?" He asks me a little bit too excited. I love his book, but I should tease him a little? Yes, definitely, I should do this. I smile in my thoughts.
"I've read other good books." I look at my nails and I can feel him being angry.
"I think you are not good at choosing a publishing house. You don't have taste in books." We continue our way home in a deathly silence.

I have to admit that his book is amazing, but I don't want to do this. Why? Because he was rude to me since our first meeting and I like to tease him, so Klaus Mikaelson, you have to wait until I tell your brother that your book is great and he has to publish it.
We arrive home and he gets out of his car before me. He ignores me. Oh, he said that he wants to be friends. He is changing like the weather. I roll my eyes and enter the house. I go to my bedroom to change my clothes, and after that, I go to the kitchen to make something to eat. After a few minutes, Klaus comes into the kitchen.
"Can you make something to eat for me, please?" Wow, does Klaus Mikaelson have the word "please" in his language?
"Yeah, sure. Have a seat until I prepare our meal." He asks me, while he sits at the bar,
"Do you know where Elijah and Kat are?"
"They won't be home until tomorrow. I think they will spend the night in town."
"Great!" He gives me a big smile and starts writing something on his phone. I know he's planning something. I'll keep my eyes on him. I made some pasta and we eat in silence.

Afterward, I put the plates in the dishwasher and go to my room to take a bath. I really need this. I turn on the water in the bathtub, add some bubble bath, and go to get some clothes and lingerie. When I come back, I put my hair in a bun, undress myself, and get into the bathtub. I stay there until the water is almost cold. I wrap myself in a towel and go to my room. I stop for a moment because I hear loud music coming from downstairs. What the fuck is happening? I quickly get dressed and go downstairs, where I find a lot of strangers. OH NO !!
