The streets of New Orleans were filled to the brim with people trying to get into the venue. Klaus took the hand of his beautiful date and pulled her along with him through the door and into the party. They walked over to the bar and Klaus began ordering them drinks.
"Why are there so many people here?" Cami asks, already hot from the number of people in the building. She takes off her winter coat, revealing an emerald green dress with spaghetti straps. Klaus looks at her up and down and takes her coat from her. Hands her coat and his to a woman in charge of the coat check.
"I suspect, love, that it is due to the fact that it is New Year's Eve," Klaus says with his signature crooked smile. She smiles back at him and pulls him onto the dance floor as a slow song comes on. He puts his hands on her waist and pulls her closer to him. Her hands travel from his shoulders to around his neck as they start swaying to the music. As the song continues, they talk about the upcoming year and what they plan on accomplishing. Klaus spins Cami around and she twirls back into his arms. He meets her lips with his and for a moment its like they are the only two people in the crowded room.
Across the room, a group of people walk in. Among them is a girl who is all by herself and doesn't know where to go. she looks around and spots the bar. She walks up and orders a champagne. After getting her preferred beverage, she turns around, her back leaning against the bar and looks around the venue. She spots a familiar and handsome man in the middle of the dance floor. His back is to her but she would recognize him anywhere. She takes a few deep breaths and starts making her way towards him. The song changes to a more upbeat tune and he moves out of her eye-line. People all around her start jumping and she looses all sense of direction. Suddenly, she finds herself looking right at him. Except the view is not what she wanted. She looks at her former suitor and finds him with his lips against a blonde woman in a green dress. She hates to admit it but she looks fantastic.
Klaus breaks away from his kiss with Cami and smiles at her. He hears someone clear their voice next to him, barely audible over the loud music. He turns to see who it was and his face falls.
"Klaus? What is it? Who is she?" Cami's voice brings him back to his senses. He looks at Cami and tells her he needs to speak with their unexpected visitor outside. She nods and Klaus leads the young woman to the outside terrace.
"So who is she? Some rando you met four minutes ago? I mean, really Klaus? You could do better than some random hookup," She spits at him, her words cutting through the cool air. He looks taken aback by the intensity of her words and studies her face.
"Why, Caroline, I do believe that you are jealous," Klaus smirks and raises an interrogatory eyebrow.
"I am not," Caroline says defensively.
"And she's not, by the way, a random hookup. She's... with me," he says, unsure about what label Cami would want, "Long story short, she's human, I like her, she likes me, we're together."
Caroline is shocked. Klaus? With a human? She couldn't've ever imagined it. "Do you love her?" She says, her voice breaking. Klaus looks up at her and pauses before he speaks.
"Yes, I am. I think I have been for a while but never had the courage to speak up about it until recently," He says it all is one breath but he means every word, "Now, if you don't mind, Caroline, my date is waiting for me to return." She nods and he makes his way through the crowd back to the girl in the green dress.
