The Enigma: A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story {1}

Chapter 23: Not Enough

Keeping his word, Klaus pulled away from me and started to walk away, but his hand lingered and I couldn't resist him anymore. I pulled him back and kissed him. He dragged my waist into his arms and held in tightly while I kept my hands around his neck. It was perfect and I wanted it to last forever. I thought it would, until my phone started to buzz. Last time we were like this and my phone went off it was Jeremy. Jeremy. I had cheated on him, I was still cheating on him, I hadn't stopped kissing him. I didn't want to but I knew what I had to do. I counted to three. 1 elephant in Mississippi, 2 elephants in Mississippi, 3 elephants in Mississippi. I pulled away from Klaus and checked my phone. On the plus side it wasn't Jeremy, on the downside it was Caroline saying she needed me at the grill ASAP.

"I have to go" I mumbled. "Caroline needs me"

"Caroline can wait" Klaus said kissing me again but I mustered up the self-restraint I had and pushed him away.

"No it can't. She can't. Besides I shouldn't be kissing you. I have a boyfriend" I told him, trying to keep my distance.

"I'm your husband, I think I win" Klaus said closing the gap between us.

"I have to go" I slipped out from under Klaus and sped away to the grill where Caroline was sat.

"Fi, you're here" Caroline said wrapping me into a warm embrace.

"Of course love, what is it?" I said sitting opposite her.

"It's about Elena. I know you and Klaus have her and I know she has the hallucinations and stuff but can't you do something about it?" She pleaded.

"Caroline, you know if I could do anything about it I would"

"But you helped Klaus right? They didn't just stop, you did something" I hated how smart she was sometimes, but it didn't change the fact that I couldn't save Elena.

"No, I didn't, for 52 years I tried to save Klaus and it almost killed me. If it hadn't stopped, I don't know what I'd have done. I'm sorry, but she'll be fine Klaus has her" I reassured her.

"Okay, I just had to ask" She said smiling sadly. "Want to talk about something normal for once?"

"Actually yes. I did something bad Caroline. I cheated." I whispered, just in case any listening ears, particularly Matthew.

"That's old news" Caroline scoffed. "You literally called Jeremy your boyfriend." Caroline giggled.

"No I mean I cheated on Jeremy with Klaus" I put my face in my hands unable to look at her.

"Oh" I peeked through my fingers and saw her look taken aback. "Did you like do it?"

"No it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss. Well a long kiss. And then a short kiss. Oh what the bloody hell is wrong with me?" I said face palming for England.

"Well aren't you an expert on this? You and Klaus cheated on each other all the time." Caroline said giggling, clearly amused by my relations with Klaus.

"Yes but the difference is, with Klaus and I it was a game, getting the other's attention, this time I liked it. I wanted it, I even initiated it. I have to tell him right?" I said sighing.

"What? No!" Caroline said quickly. "Telling Jeremy will just hurt him. What you did was bad but Jeremy knew what he was getting himself into. Plus, I'm totally Team Klaus and the more scandalous things you do, the more you'll want him." Caroline said with an evil grin. "Speak of the devil."

I turned around and saw Klaus walking in smiling at me with his beautiful smile.

"Hello Blossom, miss me?"
