to the rescue (on hold - huge rewrite)

You Would Never Lie To Me

Caroline's chest landed on Klaus', as she tried to catch her breath and calm herself from the overwhelming sex she just experienced seconds ago.

"Kudos to you." Klaus exhaled with a grin plastered across his face.

"Huh?" Caroline mumbled still coming down her high, not really registering what he said.

"This would have to be the epitome of your sex life. I mean, it doesn't get better than me, right?" For the record, that statement was true, but she would never admit that to his presence.

"Wrong." Caroline answered already annoyed and irritated by his arrogance, as she grabbed her bra and undergarments, which had somehow seemed to have fallen under the bed during their heated session. She put them on quickly. She just wanted to get as far away from him as vampirely possible.

"Excuse me? I must be facing some hearing problems." Klaus retorted in shock by Caroline's answer, also standing up to follow Caroline's stride.

"It wouldn't be the only ones. For your information, sex with you? Not that good." She scoffed at him, trying to get him all worked up, which for the record was working.

"Oh, please, love. I heard your moans, so you can't lie to me now." Klaus mentioned proud of himself, remembering their intense and raw intimacy.

"You're right. I won't. But guess what? I was faking most of it." Caroline bluntly lied.

"You're not that good of a liar. Besides, why would you do such a thing?" He questioned her reasons, not wanting to believe her.

"To spare your feelings and most importantly your huge ego. You know me. I'm such a big heart." She added sarcastically, as she struggled to throw her top over her head, frustrated as she was.

"Well, it's certainly not the only big thing about me." He added full of himself.

"Oh, please. I've had way better than you." Lie after lie, she would soon believe it. That's what she kept telling herself.

"I find that hard to believe, love. Besides, all of your previous affairs were inadequate in comparison to me." Klaus replied, as Caroline stood by the door, ready to storm out. To be frank, it sort of hurt, because she knew the number of her sexual partners in comparison to the great Klaus Mikaelson's was ridiculous.

"Don't be so sure. Oh, fyi, Tyler is a much better lover than you." She said, banging the door to his face, before he had the chance to react at her bold and definitely offensive statement. She just hit him, where she knew he'd hurt.

Before leaving the hall, she heard with satisfaction breaking glass and Klaus' angry growls.

Caroline angrily stomped through the hallway, making her way past Katherine's room, when she run into Katherine, just as she turned around the corner. Katherine quickly picked up on Caroline's frustration. Before Caroline could escape her interrogation, Katherine basically abducted her by pushing her into her hotel room.

"What the hell was that for, bitch?" Caroline's mean girl manifested.

"Wow! I don't think I've ever seen you that furious to be honest. Not even when I killed you. What happened?" Katherine half joked, waiting for the answer. To be noted, Katherine Pierce was not and would never prove to be a patient person.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Caroline hissed at her, her anger seething.

"That-"Katherine pointed at Caroline's face and general stance "does not look like nothing. It is definitely something and my bets are on the big bad wolf."

"If you could refrain from referring to that insufferable jackass in my presence, that would be very much appreciated." She immediately blurted out, giving away her source of anger.

"Jackpot!" Katherine exclaimed satisfied that her first guess was actually on point. Besides there was no one else who was able to make Caroline see red like Klaus Mikaelson.

Caroline angrily glared at Katherine, as she continued talking. "So, tell me. What did that horrible, yet devilishly handsome hybrid do to you today?" 

"Katherine, just stay out of this."

"But how can I? It's so alluring listening to you whine about life's most trivial things." She mocked her, while Caroline was throwing knives at her. In her mind. In reality, she was just glaring at her.

"Katherine, don't be a nosy bitch. Wrong day, wrong person." 

"Look we both know, you're dying to talk about it with someone and seeing I'm your only option available, just tell me and get it over with." Katherine sounded bored of Caroline's resistance and eventually she caved.

"Look, I want to. It's just complicated."

"When was it not? Just start talking and everything will sort itself out."

"Sex. Klaus and I. Had." Caroline retorted. It seems Katherine's advice was inaccurate.

"See? That wasn't so hard, was it?!" Katherine says, before bursting into fits of laughter at Caroline's awkward phrasing.

"Katherine, stop laughing. I don't know what to do."

"Oh, poor thing. You had amazing sex with Klaus Mikaelson. I feel sorry for you." Katherine satirized Caroline's misery, not being able to keep a straight face.

"Come on, be serious for a moment. You're my friend, so help me." She said sincerely and Katherine managed to pull herself together long enough to stop laughing.

"Help you with what? What are you so stressed about?" She asked trying to understand.

"Well, to be honest, I don't know what this means for us. I mean he always flirts around with me, but this is different. Was last night a one time thing or did it mean more that he lets on?" Her worries seemed valid.

"Well, girlfriend, that question is for you to answer. It doesn't matter what Klaus wants, until you find out your intentions about him."

"What does that even mean?"

"Come on, blondie. Don't play dumb on me. Do you like Klaus or is he on a friends with benefits zone?"

"When you put it like that, I don't know. I can't give you a straightforward answer."

"Pfft, it's easy, Caroline. Who do you want to be with? Marcel or Klaus?" Katherine questioned her and Caroline's eyes widened in shock.

"What??? Marcel and I aren't a thing. You know that."

"I do, but what about Klaus? How do you expect of him to be honest with you, when you're still playing mind games on him?"

"No, Katherine. I don't want Klaus to know that the party back in New Orleans was just a facade to make him jealous."

"Oh, I don't know, Caroline. I think he would be interested in finding out the truth."

"Katherine, I swear I'm gonna suffocate you to death with a pillow. And believe me, it doesn't feel good." Caroline pinned Katherine down, ready to choke her with her bare hands.

"Chill out, blondie. I was just joking. God, you can be a real bitch, you know that?"

"And don't you forget it." Caroline smiled at her, releasing the grip she had on her neck. They both ended up laughing, until Stefan walked in on them. Caroline on top of Katherine.

"Katherine, is there something I should be worried about?" Stefan asked with a grin, as he looked at both of them.

"Oh, baby, you know I don't like stupid blondes." 

"And what is Stefan supposed to be?" Caroline shot back at her best friend.

"Ouch, Caroline. You are hurting my feelings." Stefan smirked, as Katherine and Caroline stood up and all of them walked to the living room. Of course, no one has noticed a certain hybrid who has eavesdropped their entire conversation. Klaus smiled evily. We are going to have fun, love. Klaus whispered to himself.
