Fifty Shades of Klaus

Chapter 7

One Monday morning while I was working my shift at the supermarket, I saw Matt come in with Cami beside him. I glare. Yeah, sure, rub it on my face! I sighed, Cami is an awesome girl but I'm just too pissed with Matt to even care about her awesomeness. He couldn't just treat me like the way he did and expect me to forgive him without an apology.

I walked to him, head held high with all intentions of embarrassing him in front of his maiden. There was a certain hint of pride in my eyes as I walked but it eventually vanished the moment I saw Cami wrap her arms around Matt's arm. They're together. My shoulders dropped.

They must've really liked each other to have sped into the relationship like that. Not everything is about you, Caroline. I sigh, recalling Matt's words to me. Rolling my eyes, I walk up to the two of them, "Cami," I looked at the pretty blonde, "Matt," acknowledging the blond boy.

"Caroline," both of them said back, giggling at the fact that they said it concurrently. They look good together. I really shouldn't be interfering with their happiness just because I didn't have it.

I smile at them, "Matt, I just came to tell you that I got this internship with the firm that I've been dying to get into. So, I was hoping that you could let me go off and resign with my week's pay, will that be alright? I hope it wouldn't be much trouble."

He nods, "That'll be fine. Can you drop by on Wednesday? Or should I send them to your house?"

"I'll come over. I'll be gone by the end of my day shift." Pausing, "I need to start interviewing the Mikaelson's for my article. Will that be okay?"

"Oh yeah! That's great, Caroline. I'm happy for you," his eyes looked back to mine with hesitation. "I'll see you around then," finishing it with a smile.

Nodding, I gave them both a smile and started walking away. I lied about the interview thing. Truth is, Marcel asked for me. He wanted to discuss some ground rules with me and tip me for the upcoming interview. Klaus hasn't called, but I was hoping that he would anytime soon now.

The rest of my shift slipped by my consciousness in a beat. It was really hard to think about stocking groceries when you are just itching to hear from the King of the City. When will he call? I can't hide the excitement!

I clocked out for the last time, grinning as I did. Turning to leave, I bumped into Jeremy. His pupils were dilated, his lips were pale and his hair was disheveled. I rolled my eyes, the typical look of Vicki's victims.

Brushing away from him, I breathed in the city air. The afternoon heat enveloping me. Honestly, the city isn't really so bad. It has great music and great culture, but it just really couldn't be compared to Rome. I make my way to the Q & S Journ building.

"Hi, I'm here for Marcel Gerard." I muttered. "I'm the new intern."

The receptionist's eyes lit up and her face managed giving me a smile. She walked me to the same office where I had my interview. The black skinned man I was meeting sat silently on his seat. He didn't stand or speak when I entered, but I saw his eyes gaze at me.

Taking my seat, I opened my mouth to speak, but he talked before I even managed to utter a word. "Good afternoon, Caroline. Lunch?" he asked. Lunch?! I shook my head. He fakes a smile and continues talking, "Okay then, the interview. Any news?"

I nod, smiling, "Yes. I have managed to ask for an interview with Klaus. He hasn't called me back, but I'm hoping to hear from him anytime soon. Tomorrow, maybe?"

He nods, "That's good. So I am assuming that you would submit well?" Ironically, I'm not sure. I really don't know how much I could submit. What if he asks for something I couldn't do? I don't have any experience. I might not be able to meet up to his expectations. "Hopefully," I mutter.
