Dear Caroline,

Surrogate siblings

Caroline's POV:

  I told Elena and Bonnie to go on without me as I wanted to talk to Damon alone right now. I heard Damon and others saying their goodbyes as I walked back into the living room. "Hey Blondie, how's the hangover ?".

    "Just peachy, like I am in heaven" I said sarcastically. He smirked a little  at my comment, other than that he kept his face neutral. "So you wanted to see me " I asked Damon in hope of him ending the uncomfortable silence . "Okay I am coming to the point, we both really did some famous extraordinary things yesterday that I would like to keep to ourselves , is it understood ?" .

  I nodded my assent "Adding to that we keep a few promises about not telling a soul about anything that happened yesterday" I gave him a look to convey my point. He nodded and said a little cheekily "You are not that bad a friend Blondie, you are like an annoying sister" he said giving me a genuine smile .

"Well you perfectly fit my annoying older brother category too " I said and then we both laughed. We both walked out of the house when he whisper shouted , "So I shouldn't tell a certain someone you are in love with him then" he asked excited.

 "No," I said panicked.

   He started running saying continuously "I will tell him, I will tell him ". I chased after him in the sidewalk quickly locking the house door behind me."If you tell him about it , I will tell Elena too" I said or should I say I shouted as he already was going in the direction of the meadow when I bumped into a firm chest . 

  "Love, are you okay" I heard a voice which I 'll recognize anywhere. "Yeah, yeah..... I ..am okay Nik" God I sounded like a stuttering love sick fool. He was so handsome with his face so close to me, his expression full of concern for me. God, Did I want him now. "What are you doing here", I asked him to stop myself from having in appropriate thoughts. "I wanted to see how you were doing sweetheart and to check if you wanted a ride to the meadow".

  "Um I'm okay and yes I would like a ride"I said. What happened to me today, why am I speaking garbage I thought in my mind scolding mentally .

Niklaus's POV:

   God she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. That is such a cliche but true. Those big blue-green eyes, sun kissed hair. I was nervous as I ticked my fingers on the steering wheel . Does she know anything or am I being scared for no reason. Does she know I am the note writer or that I am in love with her. I can't take the risk. I am too much of an coward. 

   Is she going to tell me about her college acceptation letter or not. And what was the secret meeting my siblings had at the mansion which stopped just as soon as  I entered the room. Everyone are suspicious to me now a days. I need time to think. Yes, after dropping her off and then I am going to avoid her, she is too much of a distraction to me. 

   "Yes I will do that" I said to myself mentally while parking my car in the curb near the meadow. We both got off and I was determined to avoid her or I may spill my heart out .

Caroline's POV:

   Nik looked at me weirdly or I started seeing him weirdly, I don't know. I am so going to avoid him, I can't face him and not blurt out the fact that I love him. So, the best course of action is not facing him. "So " we both said at the same time and chuckled.

    I am going to work, yes to  organize stuff" I said very very weirdly and went away from him or ran away was more like it. I quickly found Damon and made him swear on Elena not to tell Nik anything or else that I will tell about his fear to Elena. He glared at me "You wouldn't talk about it to anyone ". 

  "Yes, I might, I didn't say anything about singing about it to anyone Did I ? " I said mischievously and went into planning mode leaving him gaping at me .
