It was passed midnight at the Mikaelson Mansion and Caroline was once again wide awake. Curled on the couch with a tub of mint-chocolate chip ice cream in her lap and her favorate baby blue blanket over her shoulders.
the TV was on, replaying the episode of her recent watched show that she had missed earlier that day. This happened alot lately; the sleepless nights and cravings for sweets. all the damn time.
Okay, so not all the time. Just when her fiance wasn't home from yet another day at his gallary thats being remodeled. So, he need to be there quite frequently to see with his own eyes that every detail is put in place just the way he wants it. Caroline -being a control-freak-perfectionist- herself, understood his constant time at the gallary, but not enough to stop bugging him about it.
And even though she was at times pissed about him coming home late, she still couldn't fall sleep without being wrapped in his embrace, - and she didn't care how cheesy and corny it sounded.
Licking the savory deliciousness off her spoon, Caroline decided to stop annoying her own self with thinking so damn much and continued on watching the -way to dramatic for even her taste- show.
It passed exactly twelve minutes when she heard the lock of the front door turn and the door shut quietly. The blonde mentally rolled her eyes, as if he didn't already know she wasn't asleep.
She still remembered the first time she waited up for Klaus.
And around the third time she accused him of sneaking off and cheating on her with some gorgeous super model. -He still says that day was the most he had laughed in years.- But it was his reply that assured her that the neurotic assumptions she was making couldn't be more false.
"Love," He chuckled. "why would i want to go off sneaking around with some model when i already have a much more beautiful work of art standing right in front of me."
Caroline was so caught up in memory lane that she didn't notice Klaus leaning against the wall across the small space of the room with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked exhausted with his slightly furry jaw and sleep-deprived eyes. But the smile that he was currently wearing on his face -as he eyed her curled up form- made him look much more rested than he most likely was.
She missed him.
Even if the last time she saw him was that very day at breakfast.
"Feeling isnomanic again, aren't we." Klaus spoke. That charming smile of his only widening.
"Well...you know me." averting her eyes back to her tub of slightly melted ice-cream, Caroline sighed. "Can't seem to fall sleep lately." by the time she shoveled another overflowing tablespoon of the creamy flavour, Klaus was already flopped down on the couch beside her.
"I see." Klaus watched her go for another scoop with an amused look. "Your sweet tooth sure is keeping you awake." he chuckled, swiftly reaching out and stealing the spoon full of dripping ice-cream out of her grasp.
"Hey," The blonde protested, eyes wide with surprise. "That's mine!"
But it was already to late. She watched him lick her spoon clean.
"Mmm." her fiance hummed with the spoon still in his mouth. "This is actually quite good."
shaking her head, Caroline couldn't help a small smile from stretching her lips.
