The easy mood was naturally carried out as Ryan pressed the little red button to return to the Live broadcast. "Welcome back to Radio NY where I'm still having a lovely conversation with the gorgeous Caroline Forbes." He smiled at her. "Who just blushed."

Caroline laughed softly. "I'm a big fan of yours and I'm on the radio where people can't see me blush." She cutely waved her hands a bit.

Ryan didn't hide his liking for the new singer. "Well folks you will have to believe me, she is blushing and she has a fresh single on the market that will cook quite the storm." He winked at her.

"Thank you Ryan." She dazzled him with a perfect smile.

"Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you again soon in our little studio but before I run your song what would you like to tell the audience that is being introduced to your music?"

"That it all comes from the heart and that I hope everyone likes my songs as much as I like singing them."

He nodded. "That sounds just right to me." He prepared to press play on the next set of songs that started with hers. "And when will everyone be able to buy your single?"

"Next week the single will be available on cd but since yesterday it has been available on iTunes for download so make sure that you listen to Love Song by Caroline Forbes." She cutely pleaded the audience.

"You've made my job easier." The host joked as an end to their live conversation and pressed play next, he then went offline and had a few more words with Caroline before she left the small studio.

It had been the very first official interview that Caroline had done and even though it hadn't been longer than 15 minutes, commercial included, she still felt overwhelmed as she was walked out of the studio by an assistant.

Klaus was waiting for her on the lounge and he handed her the long scarf that he had been holding out for her. "It went well."

"Didn't I sound like a dork?" She asked unsure.

He chuckled with his eyes on his watch. "It was good for a first interview."

Caroline gave another loop to her scarf. "I was so nervous that I thought that I wouldn't be able to get a single word out."

"It was important for him to like you because it will play in our favor if he still remembers you tomorrow morning and chooses to play your song on his list."

Caroline followed Klaus out of the building with a knot in her stomach, he already explained to her how radios worked, that each host was obliged by the radio to play a certain list that was mostly made of whatever hit was currently surfing the wire or the singles that were sponsored by the labels that week, now in order for Caroline's single to be played every hour she would have to be part of the Hot list or to get in by the sneaky way which was to fall into the graces of the host and to be part of a much harder list, the personal list.

This list, consisting of Ryan's personal favorites was eclectic and extremely hard to feature any new artist but both Caroline and Klaus had high hopes.

It was still dark and Caroline pulled her shoulders together. "I need coffee." She complained, it was 8 in the morning and she had been up since 6am.

Klaus headed to the nearest coffee stand and ordered two black coffees. "Next on our agenda is Power 105."

"That's what, 2 blocks from here?" She tried to guess how far they were.

"Three so we must get on our way." They would not be on time if they ventured in the traffic so Klaus decided that they should walk.

"I talked to Rebekah yesterday." Caroline said as they started their morning walk.

"She must be exalted to have Stefan around."

Caroline nodded with a smile. "She's planing on getting pregnant."

Klaus interrupted his coffee to look at Caroline. "Those are unexpected expecting news."

Caroline laughed with his wit. "She was very excited and I think that they are already brainstorming for baby names."

"Elijah is going to be very opinionated about that as well, he never resigned to the fact that Katerina has ruled out the possibility of having a child with him."

"How about you?" Caroline nibbled the slightest on her lower lip as she looked at him. "Is it something that was part of your plans…" She lost her bravery just as she was about to add with Camille.

"I tend to focus only on matters that I know for a fact that I will excel at."

"You're so good at directing others but you're very harsh on yourself Klaus."

"And you're too gullible…" He teased her with a smile. "It's all rainbows and hearts on your bubbly garden."

She pursed her lips with a scowl. "You wish that you were as positive as I am."

"Not in a million years sweetheart." He scoffed easily.

She conveyed a very grave expression. "I could be serious like you are, all grumpy and mean and lord of the music industry." She spread her arms with a deep voice. "It would be me against the world and the lower beings who dared to smile around me would be beheaded." She sliced through the air ruthlessly before finding a graceful posture. "I would look down on the petulant users of modern gadgets and have them all imprisoned and as I crossed the hallway of dungeons I would release my dark evil laughter upon them." She threw her head back and artistically faked a big guttural laughter.

"You're making a scene Caroline." He calmly said before drinking his coffee.

She looked at him with a shrug. "I'm not famous yet so it doesn't matter."

He kept on drinking with a hand inside of his pocket and a cool attire about him.

"And I don't mind being silly if that will make you smile…" She roguishly smiled before laughing again in that theatrical way.

He simply looked at her serious.

"Is that a smile that I see hiding behind that solid grumpy face?" She pointed at him.

"No." He dropped calmly.

"I think that I see a smile in there." She waved her finger at him.

"I'm not going to smile Caroline." He licked his lips trying to keep his lips busy.

"Ah!" Caroline gasped loudly. "You're trying not to smile." She vehemently pointed at him.

"I am not going to smile." He grabbed her petulant finger.

Caroline laughed. "You are so close to smiling."

Exasperated he tried to keep his hard features but annoyingly the tiniest clue of a smile escaped him.

Caroline bounced in the middle of the street. "You're smiling, you're smiling."

He shook his head giving in but looking down on the sidewalk.

Caroline came closer to him. "You need to smile more often… you look so pretty when you smile."

He looked up to meet her eyes and this time he kept his smile. "I'll smile more often when your name becomes a household name in the industry."

Caroline's smile faded in intensity, it wasn't what she wanted to hear exactly but she was a tough girl when she had to be one and she had a big day ahead of her so she took his side happily as he started to walk again.

As soon as they reached the next radio station she won everyone there with her smile and her sweet personality, the small interview was fun and she naturally charmed everyone within the short amount of time that she was given.

The next appointment was another radio station that thankfully was nearby and this time she was more at ease, so much that she was even asked to sing a little bit for them live, it was a two-minute performance that she nailed effortlessly.

"I could get used to this." She told Klaus as she left the tall building behind.

"I will most gladly receive your enthusiasm." He handed her a bunch of papers.

"The morning show is next, right?" She was faced with a list of questions on paper so she looked at Klaus confused.

"The majority of live shows have a predefined list of questions that they send every artist before the interview takes place."

Caroline crumbled her face. "That takes away the magic of everything."

"Embrace the television world." He motioned his fingers to the corner of her lips and twisted them up to form a smile. "Keep that smile going gorgeous." He winked at her after using an American accent on her.

She slapped his hands away with a huff. "You sound like a creep when you talk like us."

"I'm aware of my superiority." He waved to get them a cab.

Unenthusiastically Caroline started getting acquainted with the questions that they would ask her.

It was a short ride to the tv studio and once in there it was a lot to take in, there were a lot of people walking around and talking to each other in a language that was beyond Caroline, then after the hectic first impression she was suddenly surrounded by a horde of people shooting a lot of directions that she had to take.

Two minutes later she was sitting on a makeup chair and her stylish large hat was gone, she was having her hair curled although she had her curls on point and even when she tried to engage into a small talk the woman who was applying her makeup only told her not to blink as she used the eyeliner harshly.

With throbbing eyes Caroline was happy when the woman moved on to someone else. "I miss Lamar…" She mumbled even before she looked at the mirror, it was a big scare to see so much makeup on her face and she left the makeup room unhappy.

Even Klaus had a double look at her when she arrived to his side.

"I need a bathroom." Caroline opened her purse.

"Are you feeling ill?" He asked slowly.

"No." She had a dreadful look at herself in the small mirror that she carried in her purse. "I look like a bad plastic doll and I need to fix this." She used her hand in a circle in front of her face.

"They must use a lot of makeup because of the lights." He tried to be nice about her heavy look.

"I'm wearing a peach lipstick." She widened her eyes at him like he was blind.

"You have a minute before they come to wire you up." He warned her.

She politely smiled at a girl walking by them. "Excuse me, where's the bathroom?"

"Just over there." She pointed in a nearby direction.

"Don't take long." Klaus lifted his voice as she walked away.

"I'm wearing pumps." She glared back at him, running was impossible with these.

With a sigh he eventually smiled, she was wearing colorful shorts and a white shirt that was buttoned up in the back while in the front it had a flower pattern and her shoes were high and red as the wide hat that she was now shoving down her head, he could tell how frustrated she was that certain things were not under her control but there was so much he could grant Caroline this instant, not that she needed a stylist and a personal hairdresser and makeup artist but even so that was out of his budget right now.

After two precise minutes Caroline returned with that glow of hers, the dark black around her eyes was dimmer and her cheeks weren't so red now, just this perky little pink lived there now and the lipstick had been replaced by a stunning red that made Klaus clear his throat, it was hard resisting the idea of pressing her lips with his which was probably what she was aiming at.

"Better?" She asked him adorably batting her long eyelashes.

"Improved." He owned up.

She smiled at him but already there was a crew trying to get her ready to go on stage and one of them was giving her clearcut instructions.

"… after I give you the signal you have to cross that passageway, then without stopping you have to walk straight to the sofa, Carlene will talk to you for 10 minutes and then we will go on commercial break, when we get back you will sing and that's a wrap."

Caroline nodded with terrible concentration but she had one doubt. "Do you think that I can talk to the resident piano guy first?" She had spotted him around just now. "I want to get a feel of how he plays and arrange the tone with him and… stuff." She shortened her rambling because she didn't want to talk to this guy but with the other one instead.

"Ummm." He held the in ear-monitors for her. "We're using playback."

She grew stiff and slowly moved her eyes to Klaus.

"Is it possible to arrange for a minute alone?" Klaus asked the assistant politely.

"Sure." The girl was all ready anyway and he had other things to get done.

Once they were relatively alone Klaus smiled at Caroline.

"Hide that smile right now." Caroline hissed at him.

"It's normal procedure with these shows, they are live and it's a safety net for them as well as it is one for us."

"I don't need a safety net." She struck back horrified.

"Caroline." He breathed out, bringing his temper to a simmer.

"It's my first appearance on national television and it's the one throwback that everyone will use ten years from now, I can't introduce myself to America by lip-singing, it's not me." She pleaded with a hoarse voice. "This is my one chance to get people talking and they won't remember me if I'm only another one singing along with a safe recorded song."

"If this goes sour…"

"You know that I can do this Klaus."

Impatiently he flicked his tongue across his lips.

"Go big or go home." She enticed him.

"New York is starting to get to you." Klaus countered.

Cunningly she smiled hugely knowing that she was wining him over.

"I could have a word with Carlene but the piano man doesn't know your song."

She waved her phone at him. "Trust me Klaus, I have this covered."

Their studio was only a couple of streets away and she was hoping that Matt would be her savior, however Matt wasn't in the studio and he would never make it on time so it was up to Jeremy to rescue Caroline's day, 20 minutes after the call he was shaking and wondering how he went from a regular morning spent in his favorite vintage record store to being powdered in the face and taken into a big stage with a lot of bright lights blinding him.

Caroline encouraged him with a smile, apparently she was the only one who wasn't nervous considering how Klaus was seemingly giving up on breathing and simply stood in the sidelines convinced that it was crazy to let Caroline have her way with this.

The commercial break was over and after a subtle cue from her Jeremy started the melody that Caroline covered with a clear voice, having only the piano accompanying her was by no means impairing and Caroline nailed the performance with an easiness that appeased Klaus to no end, she really was something else.

She was beautiful to watch and vocally there was nothing to correct, she was ready for this and she didn't act like a newbie trying to showcase her talent, she performed like an established artist guest staring on a show and this was her moment to shine.

Tyler and Matt made the biggest cheering sounds when Caroline arrived to the restaurant with Jeremy, they were like two young fans hysteric to see them and made the loudest commotion that included hitting the table with their hands.

"Does anyone want my autograph?" Caroline removed her hat with flair.

"Only on this." Tyler handed her the bill.

"I'm still waiting on my first paycheck." Caroline somberly said.

"Here are our tv stars." Matt elevated the mood by handing over his phone.

Caroline squealed when she saw herself on screen. "You recorded my debut on tv."

"And I've posted it on YouTube." Matt beamed.

"Look Jeremy, you look like such a heartthrob." She leaned over to him so that he could see it as well.

"I look petrified." Jeremy sighed.

"Oh, it already has seven views." Caroline made another squealing sound.

"I can work on your official channel and create an official Facebook account as well." Jeremy offered.

"You are such a sweetheart and I couldn't have done it today without you." Caroline made him blush.

"We're in this together." He quietly replied.

Caroline picked up her beer and raised it for a toast. "To my band, the very best in the world."

Tyler eagerly joined her. "I'm drinking to that."

But before Caroline could even taste her drink the bottle was taken away by Klaus who just arrived behind her.

"You have to start thinking of what you do when you're in public." He went as far as giving the beer back to one of the waiters around.

"Hey…" On the instant Caroline sulked.

"And you have to hurry with your meal because we have a photo session to choose the cover for your single."

"That's still three hours away Klaus." She complained like a little child about to throw a tantrum.

"You have to go through makeup and hair and choose your outfit." Klaus warned her with a scowl. "You have 30 minutes to wrap this little party of yours." He turned his back on the group and headed for the bar.

"Mr. Dude is so intense." Tyler whispered.

The others crumbled into a rebellious laughter that everyone tried to keep low.

"Maybe we can smuggle a beer into the photoshoot." Tyler kept his tone of secrecy.

"No…" Caroline glanced at the bar. "He's right, I have to start thinking like an artist and what I do on stage is as important as what I do out of it." She called the waiter next to order a salad and a bottle of water.

The budget from the label for a new artist was expectantly low and Caroline was faced with a scarce choice of wardrobe for the photoshoot, adding to the fact that she didn't have many clothes to pick from she didn't like any of them, the shoes were ok but far from dazzling her.

Finally she decided on a red dress that was tight and with sparkling beads embodied into it, she looked hot and it shouldn't be a problem getting a million sexy pictures with it, well, if things worked like she imagined them in her head anyway, today was all about finding out what was behind the cameras and she had a hard time adapting, she wasn't as comfortable as she thought that she would be, the photographer was a nice guy but she wasn't expecting the extra crew of 10 just staring at her while she tried to look like a model.

It only took her ten minutes to crash hard and realize that she had no idea what to do with her arms, how she was supposed to place her feet and that she had only one good expression, according to the photographer at least.

He kept asking her to switch it up, whatever that was and before she knew it an hour had raced away and still he kept on taking pictures and directing her to squat or to lift her foot, to lean to the side or to stick her butt out… this was turning into a nightmare fast and she started to grow tense by the minute.

It was an enormous blessing when the photographer asked her to take a break, Caroline couldn't run faster to the little changing room and honestly she was fighting a few nervous tears when Klaus joined her. "I thought that this would be easier."

"Because you are overthinking it."

Caroline slumped her shoulders. "How am I doing that? I can't even think because he's constantly telling me where to put my fingers and how to smile and how to flirt with my eyes… ugh." She covered her face with her hands frustrated but her comfort came when she was wrapped up in a warm soothing feeling and she uncovered her face to look at the man hugging her.

"You're tired, it's been a long day and you're not enjoying this because you are thinking too hard when you should approach this with a natural take."

"I'm finding it hard to be sexy in front of a bunch of strangers watching me attempting to be sexy." She grumbled with pouting lips.

"I assure you that they are as an easy crowd as your biggest fan back in Mystic Falls."

The reference made her smile. "Old Thomas was a big tipper."

Klaus chuckled at the same time that he stroked her chin with his thumb. "You aren't here for those outside, they are here for you."

She grazed her lip with her teeth. "It would help if you were in the room…" She hated when he simply disappeared.

"No one enjoys having the manager around."

Caroline poked the chain of his necklace, she needed him there.

With a smile he pulled away from her and left the room.

"Are you ready to go back?" A girl came to check on Caroline.

"Actually, no." She started to undress.

When she left the room she was wearing a pale-pink dress that was a bit vintage, it was long, loose and beautifully full of tiny ruffles, she was now barefoot and visibly more comfortable in this skin, she wasn't a sex kitten per say, she was a small town girl with a lot of confidence and all that started to flow out of her.

So much that the photographer asked for a chair so that he could capture Caroline's natural beauty in greater detail, her makeup was practically gone and as the afternoon started to kick in there was a light that he used in his advantage, his directions stopped being necessary now that Caroline was enjoying her photoshoot, mostly because Klaus stood behind the cameras and she kept her eyes on him.

It was night by the time they returned home, after a tiring afternoon she was then asked to look at thousands of pictures to decide which one she wanted on the cover, somehow Caroline hadn't connected the fact that she was in charge of her art to the detail that she was meant to choose everything regarding her career.

The task of choosing one specific picture was impossible to achieve, she actually looked good in a lot of them and after narrowing down the 15 best ones she finally had enough and asked to go home, she wanted a hot bath and some food before she made any major decisions.

There was an actual feeling of relief when she stepped into the elevator inside of Stefan's building and she rested against the glass with a sigh, she closed her eyes, her feet were killing her and she was hungry and fatigued, not to mention cranky so it wasn't a smart move from Klaus to tell her that she still had to answer Jeremy's messages about her Facebook page.

"I'm giving him full artistic liberty." She decided to be snarky with Klaus.

"Today was a day full of amusement, wasn't it?"

Caroline glared at him. "I'll be dead before my single hits the stores if tomorrow is like this again."

He moved a hand inside of his jacket and took a small folded paper that he then handed over to Caroline, she was definitely suspicious as she unfolded the paper but her eyes were two huge orbits of surprise as she looked back at him.

"How does it feel to hold your first paycheck?"

She beamed. "It feels like I can do what I did today forever."

"There is a bigger paycheck waiting for you once we climb that wonderful Billboard hit list."

"What about your cut?" She asked as they left the elevator.

"That will only come when your record is placed in every shelve of every home in this country and abroad."

"That's months from now…" She wasn't too happy to learn the news.

He smiled at her as he opened the door of the apartment. "Time is relative."

Caroline sighed again, it was good to be home and she left Klaus on the computer heading for her bedroom, she left the door open and dragged her way to the bed where she allowed herself to fall face down, she crashed so hard that she actually bounced on the mattress but by God, it felt so good that she moaned loudly.

"Caroline?" Klaus called her from the door.

"Oh God, leave me alone, I just need to rest for an hour… or ten…" She grumbled against her pillow.

"Before that I require your attention for one more thing."

Caroline rolled over with a snap. "What do you want now?"

He turned the computer that he was holding towards her. "Your mother is on Skype."

Caroline's mouth went open, with regret but also with tenderness.

"She's on mute." He whispered while giving her the computer.

She leaned her head to the side emotional and wanting to thank him but she was too affected to do it.

He kissed her cheek softly. "She asked one of the deputies to instal it so that she could see you more often and I promised her that I would reserve the time in your schedule for it."

She gulped down a teary response and focused on her call as soon as he left her alone with her mother, she touched the little conversation icon and seconds later they were seeing each other.

"How does this thing work?" Liz was yelling at someone from her office.

"Hi mom." Caroline waved at her.

"Honey… I can see you!" Liz said amused.

Caroline sweetly smiled while settling on the bed and attentively looking at her mother, she was looking for any signs of weariness but Liz looked well. "How are you feeling mom?"

"The pills are working and I'm fighting the little bugger just fine, how about you? How was your first day as a big star?"

Caroline rolled her eyes. "I'm so tired mom… I had to do so many things and give so many interviews."

"Everyone at the police station saw the morning show, it was a big moment and I was so proud of my baby girl."

Caroline covered her red cheeks. "Could you tell that I was really nervous?"

"No honey and I think that was a good thing."

Caroline nodded.

"Are you having fun Caroline?" Liz had very few concerns about Caroline but it was important to know how she was feeling.

"It's the life that I always dreamed to have…" Caroline trapped her hair behind her ear waning down just a bit. "I just didn't know that it would be so full of other things rather than singing."

"When I saw that girl on my television I saw how radiant she was to be singing and I could see just how much she was doing what she was meant to be doing. You've never been afraid of working and I know that this is just the beginning honey but this is your time."

"You're going to make me cry mom…" Caroline complained already with a sting in her nose.

"It's a good time to hang up then." Liz quickly tried to hide how much she was touched by emotion as well. "I will talk to you soon."

"I love you mom." Caroline blew a kiss at the screen and then waved.

"I love you Carebear."

The childhood nickname totally melted Caroline and she closed the computer already missing her mother, at least she was responding well to the first treatments and actually being able to see her was alleviating.

She took her shoes off thinking that she had to thank Klaus when there was a knock on the door of her bedroom, she rushed as much as she was still able to and surprisingly found Klaus standing on the hallway with a pizza box in one hand and a bottle of wine and two glasses in the other.

"Chicken barbecue flavored and some Portuguese wine that will make you weep."

Caroline grabbed the pizza box effusively. "It smells so good." She rapidly took a slice and had a big bite out of it. "And it tastes sinfully." She groaned.

He poured a glass of wine for her. "Here's another sin for you."

"Am I allowed to drink?" She asked with a mouth full and a cocked eyebrow.

He knew that she was going back to the little moment at the restaurant. "Your image from now doesn't belong to you anymore, it's owned by the gossip magazines and the fans that will judge every item that you wear, every hairstyle will be analyzed exhaustively and people will discuss in forums for hours wether you have gained weight or not." He smiled. "What you regard as austerity is in fact protection for what we are able to avoid, the rest is out of our hands."

Caroline had a big portion of her wine. "What's my schedule tomorrow?"

"We have to leave at 5, we have a meeting set up with the video director and he's only available for an hour before he leaves New York for a week."

"Who is he?"

"Kol only said that he last worked with Rita Ora."

Caroline's mouth was a grinning smirk. "I hope that he's cute."

Unaffected Klaus carried on. "He's going to give you a few ideas and then you will decide with him which direction you would like to take."

"I'm tempt to do something provocative."

"It wouldn't fit the song." Klaus opinionated.

She scoffed with another slice of pizza in her hand. "No one cares about that, if I'm rolling around naked in a bed that's what people will remember, not the song."

Klaus narrowed his eyes a bit on the fence.

"It will be even better if I'm doing it with a really hot guy." She pushed on just to see if he would react at all. "I mean, if it's anything like the photoshoot it's going to take a lot of takes to get it right."

He lifted his finger because that reminded him of something and he took a picture from inside of his pocket. "From all of them, I think that I favor this one the most."

Caroline was left in awe, holding the picture was very different from seeing it on the computer and among all the others that she took, this one picture that he chose was unquestionably the best she ever looked, it showcased her from the waist up and she was sitting on the chair with her head turned to the side, she was looking straight at the camera with confidence and smiling lips, her skin looked so natural that she appeared to be made of porcelain and the light behind her was so beautiful that even the slight waywardness to her curls looked planed. "It's hard to believe that's me…"

"People are going to fall in love with you." He said admiring her instead of the picture.

She didn't care about others right now. "I wasn't expecting you to be like that today…" Caroline faced him slowly. "I like you more when you're not looking at me like a client."

Klaus rested the bottle on the nightstand and he seemed to be thinking of the right thing to tell her so Caroline moved the box away and came a little closer to him, she didn't want him to think too much about this, she only wanted what came from Klaus unfiltered.

"I thought that after that kiss we shared in my house things would be different between us…"

His eyes landed right on her gorgeous face, her voice was low and inviting in all the imaginable right ways and her fingers were starting a small trail on his chest, he swept her cheek with his hand. "We vouched to wait for the right time."

Her palm was flat on his chest now. "That doesn't mean that there has to be so much space between us."

"Outside of this building it's your world sweetheart, I control the show but I'm not part of it." He leaned over where her scent commanded his lips and all that he wanted was to kiss her. "In here however I am unable to conceal how much of my power is reduced to anarchy when you are around."

Caroline silently moaned when he rested his lips against hers, it was a languorous sweet kiss and he was so good at it that she instantly craved for more, this second time around she was the one pressing his lips strongly and caressing his neck, she wanted to make the kiss deeper but Klaus broke the kiss before she even had a chance to taste his tongue.

"It's not the time sweetheart…" he explained his action.

She liked stroking his neck so she left her hand there whilst she smiled. "I'm tired but I won't fall asleep halfway through it if we start something tonight."

"I need you focused Caroline." He gazed at her lips again before he really pulled away from her. "On what's important right now." He smiled a bit before turning away from her.

She didn't ask him to stay as he left the bedroom and she was sad as she slumped back into bed, she cuddled her pillow and sighed, she wasn't willing to wait another week for another kiss from him.

Klaus left his bedroom with a glance at his watch, it was nearly 5 in the morning and he intended to knock on Caroline's door but she was already waiting for him in the living room. "Good morning…" He greeted her slowly, she was all ready to leave and holding a few things for him.

"I'm going with that picture that you liked for the cover, I liked it as well and I sent Jeremy the list of things that I want him to do on my Facebook page. I know that we have a lot of interviews coming so I've asked him to link them all to the page."

"That's… entirely your responsibility." He easily gave up on what he could never master.

Smugly she smiled and left ahead of him.

It was still night and even for Klaus it was hard to be as awake as she was. "I assume that you are ready for another decisive day." He spoke as they reached the elevator.

Caroline walked in only after him and when she did she pressed stop on the ride, then without a word she locked her lips with his, but not only that, she also pressed her body to his and kissed him avidly.

At first and mostly out of surprise Klaus kept the kiss candid but soon his initial response was replaced by the same fire she kissed him with, he did nothing to stop her invading tongue into his mouth and the kiss blossomed like the refrained desire that they felt for each other.

Sweeping and restless tongues that brushed against one another while Caroline laced her arms around his neck and he held her with a strength that she really wanted to feel unrestrained, their breaths were one unique rasping gush when they broke away from each other.

"Out there is my world but in here it's our world." She stated her rules, ready as she was to take charge of what she wanted away from the public eye and closer to her heart.

With a striking brashness she placed space between them, pressed the elevator button again and shook her curls, she kept her eyes on the front but she knew the look that lived in his eyes, for sure now he was the one unwilling to wait another week for a kiss.
