Klaus was pacing restlessly in his room.. He felt suffocated and his breathing was heavy.. He hadn't seen or spoken to Camille for a week.. And he is the only one to blame for this.. How did he neglect her?! How!! And for whom? How did he not notice until he ruined everything?! He closed his eyes, remembering the last time he saw her before she traveled to visit her family.
He was panting violently as he ran through the airport corridors.. His heart was pounding with fear her plane would take off before he could say goodbye.. He took a deep, relieved breath as he saw her standing leaning on her luggage cart, preparing to enter the area where visitors were not allowed.. She shook her head in disappointment, saying sadly "I can't believe you forgot"
He approached her, breathing heavily, saying in eager protest "I didn't.. I got stuck in traffic"
She lowered her eyes to the ground, a tear falling from her eye, and replied wearily "Don't lie, Klaus.. You may have forgotten, but I can tell when you're lying"
He whispered pleadingly "Babe, please listen to me"
Camille shook her head in refusal, saying in a pained tone that seared his heart "No, I don't want to.. I'm going to visit my family, Klaus.. Don't try to contact me while I'm there.. Consider this period as a break in our relationship.. Think carefully during this period whether you want to stay with me or return to her.. Whatever, you decided I will respect your decision"
He whispered in awe "Cami"
Camille placed a kiss on his cheek, saying sadly "See you later, Klaus"
Klaus sat on his bed, his head between his hands, regretting how he had lost Camille! Camille loved him so much and cared so much for him.. He had met her after a failed relationship with Caroline, from which he had been left with a broken heart which she had mended its brokenness and repaired the sharp edges left by his pain.. With her, he had felt peace, lightheartedness, and safe.. A safety he had never felt in his entire life except with her.. He is sure she is his refuge from the evils of the world.. No one had understood or comprehended his complexities the way she did.. So, how did he push her away?! How had he created a feeling of insecurity within her? How had he made her doubt herself?
A while ago, Caroline returned to his life as a colleague, and Camille didn't lose her trust in him when she learned of her return.. She was confident in the strength of their relationship.. How did he lose that trust? He doesn't know what he wanted to prove to himself.. He doesn't know if Caroline tried to lure him back into their toxic relationship.. But now he realizes they used work as an excuse to be around each other.. It's only now he realizes the enormity of what he did.. He spent most of his time with Caroline and completely neglected Camille, confident she loved him and would never leave him.
He stood up in panic, realization settling in his mind.. He had forgotten he had always been Camille's first priority.. Since she had noticed his closeness to Caroline and his unjustified neglect of her, she surely believed he no longer wanted her.. She was quietly withdrawing from his life, giving him the chance to return to Caroline.. But he wanted no one else, only her, and no one else.. Losing her would surely kill him.. This week away from her had been hell.. This thought of her leaving him was killing him.. He snatched his phone from the bed and called her, muttering pleadingly "Answer your phone, sweetie, please"
But her phone was off, just as it had been the past few days.. He shouted angrily, throwing the phone on the bed.. He wouldn't lose her, even if it meant traveling to her family's house.. He picked up his phone again, searching for the nearest plane ticket to Ireland.. When Rebekah entered his room, shouted in annoyance "Nik, why didn't you tell me Camille is back?"
He looked up from his phone, asking in surprise "Camille is back?!"
"Didn't you know? She told me she was back two days ago, so I was upset with you.. I thought you didn't tell me" Rebekah answered in surprise as he was eagerly searching for his keys.
He stopped in his tracks in shock, saying in a choked-up voice "Two days ago!!"
Rebekah approached him, asking with concern "What's going on, Nik?"
He didn't answer, still reeling in shock.. She had been back two days ago and hadn't told him.. Usually, when she visited her family, he would overcome by longing for her, so he would travel to her.. Then they would spend some time alone together before returning to their work in New Orleans.. If he couldn't travel to her, he would wait at the airport, eagerly waiting for her.. Their longing for each other wouldn't subside for days.. And now she'd been in New Orleans for two days and hadn't told him.. Was she really serious about leaving the fate of their relationship in his hands? Rebekah's annoyed shout broke him out of his absence"Is it Caroline, Nik? Haven't you learned from your past? Your relationship is toxic, brother, and that's not going to change"
When he didn't answer her as he went back to searching for his keys, she attacked him sharply "What did that bitch do to upset Cami like this?"
Klaus smiled a small smile.. Rebekah had never liked Caroline and had always been against their relationship.. Unlike Camille, whom she had befriended and encouraged him to keep Camille and her love in his life.. Klaus looked at her and said sincerely "I'm the one who made a mistake, Rebekah.. I'm the one who messed up everything and I'm going to fix it"
As he finished speaking, he found his keys in his pocket and left to look for Camille.. Rebekah smiled and said encouragingly "She was on her way to her apartment when I met her"
Klaus returned, placing a kiss on her cheek and saying gratefully "Love you, Bekah"
Klaus ran to Camille's apartment, firmly deciding he would regain her trust, atone for his mistakes, and restore their relationship to its solidity and strength.. He would never lose Camille.. He knocked on the door before opening it with his key so as not to startle her.. He stopped, watching her coming out from the bedroom with a deep sigh.. His heart pricked harshly as he saw her exhausted and tired features.. He immediately walked over to her and hugged her tightly, whispering in a tired voice "Don't do this to me again, babe"
Camille clung to him tightly.. She was afraid he would leave her and return to his ex-girlfriend.. Recently, after Caroline appeared in his life, his interest in her had diminished, and she felt as time passed she was losing his love.. So, she decided to visit her family, and during this time, she would give him the opportunity to think about what he wanted to do in the future.. However, she couldn't enjoy the company of her family, so she decided to return, but she didn't dare to confront him.. She whispered, hiding her face in his neck "I was so afraid you would choose her"
He pulled away, hugging her face tightly, saying sincerely "No.. I would never choose anyone over you.. You and no one else.. You are my blessing and my happiness.. I will never, ever leave you.. Only, you Camille"
Her tears flowed profusely as she heard this strong determination in his love for her.. Her heart which was terrified, calmed down as she saw his eagerness for her.. He leaned over, drenching her face with many kisses, wiping her tears with his mouth and planting his love on very inch of her face as he whispered firmly "Only you, darling"
Without giving her a chance to respond, he captured her mouth in a passionate, soulful kiss.. A kiss in which he deposited all his feelings, love, and fear, repeating between her lips without pausing "Only you, babe"
Camille kissed him back passionately and ardently.. Klaus lifted her up in his arms, his mouth kissing her endlessly.. Then he laid her on the couch and joined her, proving to her in word and deed she is the only one he loves.
