Chapter Text
The bar was at half capacity that night, and that meant it was time to get very drunk. That had been her original plan but it quickly started to head that way when she noticed how much time Klaus was spending talking to the blonde bartender that also acted as his therapist. Caroline knew she was being foolish, that all she needed was to give Klaus a sign she was ready, and it would put an end to all of this, as well as her stay in the guest room.
A young vampire asked her to dance and she thought it sounded like an excellent idea. They danced for a while before she felt the hands on her hips being ripped of her body and were then replaced with different hands, ones that spun her around to face her new dance partner.
"What are you doing, love?" Klaus asked, that dangerous tone sending shivers down her spine.
"Dancing with that guy." She replied, keeping her eyes locked on him before smirking, "Wait a minute. Are you jealous?"
"I don't think I've been subtle in my intentions Caroline." He said before leaning down and whispering in her ear, "I've seen the way you look at me when you think I don't notice. Why do you keep fighting this thing between us?"
"Maybe go ask your therapist." She said and tried to leave but he stopped her.
He smirked and pulled her into him, "Now who sounds jealous." He leaned down and kissed her, knowing she wasn't about to push him away. He ended the kiss and said, "Lets go home, love, and put an end to this little game you've been playing since you arrived."
She nodded and placed her hand into his. He was right, it was time she stopped fooling herself, she came her for one reason, and it was time for her to take him up on his offer. She had a whole world to see out there.
