Fifty Shades of Klaus

Chapter 14

Breakfast with Bonnie and Matt is the closest thing we can have similar to a Mystic Falls get-together. The diner at 5th street was so homey and simple. A small, quiet diner that is perfect to have breakfast with some close friends. "So, when can I meet this perfect boyfriend?" Matt asked.

"Soon," Bonnie replies. "If you haven't realized Matt, you've actually been totally AWOL to us since you met Cami. Any explanations for that?"

She teasingly raises both eyebrows. He sheepishly replies, "She's just so great, you know? She keeps talking about these Psychology things that is killing me because I knew nothing about it, but for some odd reason, it keeps me around. It's a trait of hers that I find interesting."

I bow my head, looking down to my eggs and smile. The two friends I have seated with me in the booth are both happily dating, while I am still mortified of the man I want to be with. I have actually planned today to be the day that I finally make amends with Klaus Mikaelson. Well, I was hoping. "You better be serious about her, Matt. We really plan on becoming friends with the girl, so don't mess it up," I say.

He smiles at me. "I won't," he says, taking his cup of coffee with him. "I should go back take care of the supermarket. Vicki might get back early from Mystic Falls, and I don't want her to get in trouble with the staff."

Bonnie stands up, "We'll walk you." I get up from the booth together with Matt and the three of us walk the streets together on the way to Matt's shop. "Have you heard from Elena, Matt?"

Elena and Matt used to date from back in our Freshmen Year. When I didn't give him a chance, he decided to go for the hotter girl instead. Made sense, but Elena is such a close friend of mine, even then. There was a whole lot of drama, but it was nothing compared to Episode 69 of my life. Besides, they didn't date for long.

"Nope," he answer, making a popping sound at the end of the word. "I thought she's staying with Damon? Or at least that's what Tyler told me."

I roll my eyes. Again with the Tyler reports! It's so frustrating! "Matt, do you always have to bring him up? It's bad enough that he's still staying around the city, I don't need to hear about it too!" Displeasure bursts out of my every word. And it did not go unnoticed. Both of them stare at me begrudgingly, I look down to the ground, "Sorry. The Tyler thing really tips me over the edge."

Matt smiles at me in hopes of giving me comfort. Silence echoes the group as we walk to the supermarket. As we reach the doors of the shop, we see Elijah and Klaus walking about. They both had paper bags held between each hand. I shamefully sigh, a blush creeping up my cheeks as I recall the endearing faces of the king. "Bonnie," Elijah shouts quietly. A scrunch flashes on my best friend's face as she walks to face the man she just looked like a fool in front of yesterday night.

A teasing chuckle begs to be rumbled out of me, but the sight of Klaus' eyes slowly looking up to meet mine has lead me frozen. His blue green eyes pierce through my skin as I bow my head to hide my face with my hair. I could feel both his and Matt's eyes on me. Matt is probably wondering about the tension between our recent stares.

Thumps from Klaus' shoes ring through my ears, "Good Morning, Caroline."

I sigh and give him a small smile, "Hey." Swallowing, I look at him and am met with a charming smirk on his face. He takes out a stem of rose sticking out from his paper bag and gives it to me. I blush. "You don't have to," I push it back to him. His smirk grows even more charming as he licks his lips and takes hold of my hand. He gently places the stem on my open palm and forces my fingers to curl around it.

He chuckles as I passionately stare back at him. A flow of bliss washes over me as I blankly wait for him to say anything, but he doesn't. He nonchalantly strides pass me, heading towards the exit. I stay motionless.
