Is it Destiny?

Chapter 32

Double update 😉

Caroline could not sleep a wink that night. The kiss she shared with Klaus continued to replay in her mind. It was the most intense feeling she had ever experienced. She tossed and turned before finally sitting up and staring at the clock on the wall, it read 3:20 am. She let out a loud annoyed huff before throwing on her robe and leaving her room.

Katherine and her were staying in Paris for the week in a lavish hotel suite. Rebekah and Damon had reserved the entire hotel for all of the wedding guests to reside. Caroline was thankful Katherine was there with her and had agreed to accompany her to the wedding shower earlier that evening. Caroline knew if Katherine saw Elijah, she would possibly go to the wedding and reception as well. As it turned out Elijah did indeed ask Katherine to be his date to the reception.

Caroline smiled to herself as she thought of how happy they could be together if they just let go of the past. She shook her head, as she knew she was no better than they were. She loved Klaus more than anything but she was not ready to open her heart to him again. They had spent centuries together, much longer than ordinary couples had, and he only ever truly hurt her this one time, yet she could not let it go so easily.

She remembered hanging in his dungeon and the way his hands caressed her body as if she were nothing more than a worthless whore. She had forgiven him for that but only because she knew he did not truly mean it. He was only hurt thinking she had been sleeping with Kol.

Things were different this time, the situation was different. He turned on her; their love was not enough for him and every insecurity she ever had, resurfaced in a massive wave that she could not escape. She knew she was not the same girl that he hurt in Chicago and that eventually she would be ready to have him in her life again, in at least some small way.

She made her way back to the hotel and walked straight to Rebekah's room to help her get ready for her big day. The wedding ceremony was scheduled for noon and she knew Rebekah would not stand for anything other than perfection.

As she entered the Rebekah's room just past seven am, she heard screaming.

"I will kill that idiot if he hurts them! This is my day, damn him!" Rebekah was yelling.

Caroline walked into the exquisite bedroom and saw Rebekah screaming at Klaus.

They both turned to look at her before looking back at each and continuing.

"I will go talk to him and bring the girls back. Do not worry about a thing, love." Klaus said and turned to leave. As he walked past Caroline, he gave her a small smile, which she returned.

"Is everything alright?" Caroline asked taking a seat on the bed.

"No, our pathetic brother Kol snuck off again last night with my bridesmaids and now we can not seem to find them."

Caroline let a small chuckle slip past her lips as she shook her head. "I am sure they are fine. Kol would not kill them." Caroline told her trying to hold back the laughter. "At least not until after the wedding and reception."

Rebekah shot her an evil glare and growled. "Not funny!"

The morning went smoothly as the bridesmaids were returned unharmed and the girls were all escorted to the stunning garden where the ceremony would be held. The grounds were decorated with only the finest crystals and flowers that were available. Caroline stood in awe as she watched the guest arrive and take their seats. The music began and Kol and walked with her down the aisle followed by the rest of the bridal party.

As Klaus walked slowly down the aisle with one of the models, Caroline caught his eye, she tried to look away but her eyes were locked with his. She watched him as though he was walking down the aisle to her; she could feel her heart race and her breath catch as he finally reach the front of the aisle and released the arm of the girl. Their eyes still locked as he stood next to Kol.
