Thought I'd update for the hell of it. This is a random AU that I thought I'd post. LOVED the reviews you've been sending! You guys are great!
Mystic Grill – Saturday Night...
There seemed to be a decent crowd as Caroline walked into the Grill. It was Open Mic Night, something that they decided to do recently to bring in some more revenue. Of course, Caroline was more than willing to oblige, since it had been a while since the last time she sang.
It'll be good to do this again, she thought. With everything else that's been going on in my life, singing should relieve some of the stress.
She found a table near the front so that she could get up when it was her turn, listening to the person that was already up there, a girl that looked like she was about nineteen, maybe twenty, with long, auburn hair and hazel eyes and dressed in a black dress and matching heels. While the style was nice, Caroline didn't exactly agree with what the people were saying about her. Truth be told, she looked like she should be giving a eulogy at a funeral. Suddenly, Caroline's senses alerted her to someone here with her, a very familiar someone. Turning around, she saw Klaus at the next table, a glass of wine in front of him. That's strange, what was he doing here? Her curiosity getting the better of her, she got up and went over to him.
With a smile, he said, "Now, how did I know that I was going to run into you here, love?"
"Call it a coincidence, I guess," she replied. "But, I'm curious, Klaus. Why did you come to an Open Mic Night? Do you sing?" Nice, Caroline, really nice.
"No, my talent is restricted only to the canvas," said Klaus. "How about you? Why did you come tonight?"
"I sing."
Her reply sparked Klaus' interest. "Do you? Well, I'd definitely like to hear you, Caroline. I have no doubt that you'll get a standing ovation from everyone." He smiled again. "Myself included."
Caroline blinked. He actually wanted to hear her? Of course, that didn't surprise her, considering how he was interested in knowing just about everything about her. If she wasn't mistaken, he had wanted to know her hopes, her dreams, and what she wanted out of life. Come on, Caroline, what harm would letting Klaus hear you sing do? It might be fun for both of you. Hell, why not dedicate the song to him and pretend that he's the only one here?
"Okay, Klaus," she said. "I'll let you hear me."
"That's my girl," said Klaus. "I have no doubt that I'll like what I hear."
Caroline smiled at him. Although she never sang for Klaus before, something told her that not only would she enjoy it, but he would as well. It wasn't long until it was Caroline's turn to sing. With one more smile, she left Klaus at his table and went up to the stage.
When she approached the microphone, she looked out at the crowd. "Before I begin, I'd like to dedicate this song to a very special guy in the audience tonight. I guess you could that although it's been kind of a rocky road for us, he's...sort of grown on me. Klaus Mikaelson, this song is for you."
Then, the music started and Caroline took a deep breath and began to sing:
"We were both young when I first saw you
Iclosemy eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story,baby, just say yes
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you."
When the song ended, Klaus stood up and applauded, a smile on his face. Caroline had the most beautiful voice, like an angel almost, and he enjoyed hearing it. He was just sitting down when she came back to his table, seeing the smile on his face.
"I take it you enjoyed it?"
"Oh, most definitely," he replied. "You have a beautiful voice, Caroline, and I'm glad that I got to hear it." He got up again and pulled her into his arms. "Thank you, love, for dedicating that song to me."
That being said, he captured her lips with his in a deep and tender kiss.
Note: Meh, don't ask where I got the idea for this, just enjoy what's here. Like I said, I felt like updating for the hell of it. Have a great day, lovelies!
