Kol continued staring at the ceiling above him. It had just been moments ago before he returned to Mystic Falls. He had an encounter with Caroline Forbes, and returned home straight after. It wasn't his home technically, it was Nik's. But they were family, so Nik allowed the others to call the house their own. It was only just now he had encountered a moody Nik who welcomed him back, before leaving him alone to sort things out. Rebekah was still somewhere in Mystic Falls, Kol presumed. Elijah had left town, and Finn would be with mother. Nik didn't looked too happy today, and Kol wondered if Caroline was the cause of Nik's frown. Wouldn't it be just like Nik? Soon after, Kol's thoughts got interrupted when a knock was heard on his door. He reluctantly got up from his bed and opened it slightly. Slight enough to see who was behind it.

"Why, Why, Look what we have here, Nik standing right at my door." Kol mused, smiling to his brother.

"I have no time for your jokes, Kol. I'm going to the Mystic Grill for a moment, so I need you to keep an eye on the house." Klaus replied, his eyes glaring down at Kol.

"All right then." Kol acknowledged by nodding his head, before closing the door on Klaus.

Slowly, he snuggled up onto his bed again, this time putting his hands behind his head, continuing to stare at the ceiling. He wondered if Nik was going to suspect his encounter with Caroline. Surely he wouldn't know. There were barely any people around. Kol smiled. Perhaps Nik was going to find the beautiful Caroline. Perhaps this was to get him off Nik's tracks. Perhaps Nik was simply going to Caroline's house. Kol's smile slowly turned into a frown. He wouldn't want to fight Nik if it came over to Caroline. He would have to challenge Nik in a friendly way.

"Caroline Forbes."Kol muttered to himself, smiling again.

It had been at the Mystic Grill when he resisted the temptation from kissing Caroline. Yes, he barely knew her, but it felt as if he knew her already, and it was all thanks to Nik. Oh he had resisted her all right. He resisted her beautiful luscious pouty lips, her beautiful eyes. Closing his eyes, Kol imagined what it would be like to place his lips on her. How heavenly it would be if her tongue responded to his, her hands clinging on desperately to his back, moaning his name. Kol's eyes snapped open. No, it was wrong to think of her like that. He liked her, he wanted to like her. But was his feelings for her love or lust? He was pretty sure it was both, but having both is good. It proved how much he wanted her, yet wanted her to want him. It was definitely a good combination.

Sadly, Kol decided, to have to want Caroline Forbes to want him. He could just compel her, to see how it would be like before deciding any step further. Yes, Kol decided. He would find an opportunity to compel her feelings for him, before erasing it back from her. Either that or he could get her drunk. She would then indirectly want him on her own right? It was one or the other, Kol finally decided before turning on his left and sleep.

"Caroline, love. How are you enjoying your day?" Klaus asked the beautiful blonde in front of him.

"It's wonderful Klaus. I never thought Paris would be so stunning. I mean, the Eiffel Tower was just, wow." Caroline proclaimed excitedly at Klaus.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. We shall hurry back to the hotel now. You wouldn't want to be tired for our trip to Tokyo tomorrow, would you?" Klaus continued, his hand reaching over to Caroline.

"Oh, Klaus! This is awesome. I- I love you." Caroline confided, her hands holding firmly to Klaus, her eyes gazing down deeply to his.

"As I love you, my love." Klaus said, his hands responded naturally to hers, tugging her closer to him, before finally giving her a peck on the cheek.
