**At the Mikaelson Mansion**

"Where were you last night, Rebekah?" Elijah asked her. 

She ignored his question. 

"Let her be, Elijah. She must have been with some random guy just like always" Kol teased. 

"He's right" Klaus added his part.

"I doubt so, Niklaus" Elijah raised his finger over his chin, he was thinking of something. 

"Our sister here was pretty drunk yesterday. She could barely walk. If John had not seen her, I wonder where she would have been right now" Elijah said.

 He was slightly angry. He did not want now that their little sister defamed their family.

"Oh come on brother, just chill" Rebekah said. 

"I was with some friends, and we were just having some fun. You should be happy for me instead of complaining" she said with an irritated tone.

 "Friends? I thought you didn't have. Who have fallen under your charm, Bekah" Kol mocked.

"No one" she shrugged her shoulders, and turned away from her annoying brothers. 

When she arrived at the door, she spoke "If you want to know, I was with Katherine" she said.

 Elijah's eyes went wide but before he could muttered something, she already spoke "and with Caroline" with that she closed the door behind her leaving one surprised Elijah and an angry Klaus.

"Well well, isn't that wonderful. Our sister had found some interesting friends" Kol said breaking that awful pregnant silence.

 "You knew all along, didn't you?" Klaus turned to his brother. 

"Relax Nik, I just overheard their conversation last night. Besides Rebekah's right we should be happy for them" Kol said leaving the room.

He needed to clear his mind, he couldn't think properly. He needed to see her, and maybe confess his love for her. He wanted her no matter what. He wouldn't let an insignificant boy be with her. That is not how a Mikaelson is. He made his mind that he would get her no matter what happens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Marcel" Caroline waved at him.

 "Oh Caroline! I didn't see you coming" he said.

 "What are you doing here?" he asked. 

"Well today I need to have an interview with the Mikaelson. I'm just preparing myself" Caroline beamed.

"Caroline" Marcel called.

 "I-I wanted to ask you something" he said and continued on "Are you free tonight" he asked. 

Caroline looked at him "I- I'm really sorry but tonight I'm really not available" she apologized. 

"Nah! It's OK maybe another day" he forced a smile. 

"Maybe another day" she whispered when he was already gone.

"Caroline" Tristan called.

 She turned her head to look at him.

 "Good luck for today" he said.

 Before she could thanked him back, he was already gone. 

"Well I guess it's my cue to leave" Caroline said.

**At the Mikaelson's Mansion**

She knocked on the door twice, and still no answer from anyone. Knocking once again, someone came to open the door. 

"What can I do for you?" a guy asked her. 

She remembered him from the incident that had happened one month back.

 "Um...John right?" Caroline asked. He nodded.

"I'm here to see Klaus Mikaelson" Caroline said. 

"He's busy right now, I will told him you came" John nervously stated. 

He was going to close the door, but she put her right foot blocking the closure. 

"I'm a friend and I really need him" Caroline said realizing what she had said when John looked at him with his wide black eyes. 

"For my work" she clarified. 

"OK if you say so" John mumbled.

 "I'll go and look for him" he added before disappearing.

As he was taking so much time, Caroline decided to search for Klaus by herself. 

"Klaus" she called but still no answer. 

She saw a door, it was half opened. She heard voices coming from behind it. As curious as she was, she took small steps towards it.

When she opened it, she was took by surprise by the view in front of her. Klaus was kissing a girl. His hands were all over her waist. The girl noticed her and called quite annoyed due to her interruption 

"Who are you?"

Klaus turned over and saw who it was, regret was all over his face.

 "I-I'm s-sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt" Caroline nervously muttered looking at her fee. 

She couldn't face Klaus.

"I'll just come another day" that was directed to Klaus. 

She immediately ran away. "Caroline wait" she heard Klaus calling her but she ignored him. She was hurt.

The worst part was that she didn't know why. They weren't together. Klaus being with another girl should not irritate her that much. She didn't know why she felt that betrayed. She realized that all the sweet little things Klaus said to her was fake. He was just fooling her around. 

'How could she miss that' she scolded herself.

*A few hours earlier*

Klaus was sleeping on the couch. Since Kol and Rebekah were out, it was the only time he could find peace. But apparently a certain person was knocking at the door numerous times. He wasn't making any efforts to see who it was. He didn't care.

After about like twenty knocks, he decided to go and see because no one was going to. When he opened the door, he was shocked. Right in front of him was the one he never thought would see for quite some time. 

"Hello my love" the person approached him and kissed him tenderly on his lips. 

When he didn't kiss back, she pulled away looking at him with confusion.

"Aurora" Klaus spoke. 

"I've miss you my love" Aurora embraced him. 

But he pulled away "What are you doing here?" Klaus asked leading her to a room where they could speak alone without any disturbance.

"Look at me in the eye and tell me that you haven't thought about what we had every day for the last years. You want to know why I have come? Because after what it seems like thousand years trying to erase your touch, your smell, the taste of your lips......I'm here for you" Aurora said.

She continued

 "You know over the past months, I would dream of you. My bright light in an ocean of darkness whose despair mirrored my own, and whose love brought me a joy I had not felt, and have not felt sine"

"You can't be here" Klaus said. 

"Why not" Aurora bewildered.

 "I-I" Klaus couldn't find the right words.

 Aurora was the woman he had loved deeply, but coming to New York and meeting with Caroline had changed her love for her.

 "You want me here my love" Aurora cupped his cheeks. 

"Remember the first words you have said to me" Aurora mumbled.

**Flashbacks**

"Niklaus are you enjoying the party" Elijah asked his brother. 

"There aren't many entertainment, brother" he replied. 

Suddenly he saw a woman. She had green eyes and straight red hair with thin eyebrows and a wide smile that is quite endearing. To Klaus, she looked quite youthful and acts rather childlike. 

"I'll be back in a moment, Elijah" Klaus said.

"What is the name of this beautiful lady" Klaus asked smiling when Aurora blushed.

 "Aurora de Martel! A pleasure to meet you" Aurora smiled back at him.

 Klaus took her hand and pressed his lips against it "You're exquisite"

"Meet my brother Tristan" Aurora said.

 "Niklaus Mikaelson, a pleasure to finally meet you" Tristan shook hand with Klaus "Likewise"

Since then Klaus had been courting Aurora for quite some time. But when an incident occurred resulting a dispute between Klaus and his father, Mikael. People avoided Klaus.

"I never meant for you to know me. I never meant to let you in. But then, I should not have kissed you. Not the first time. Certainly not the second. There is a light in you so bright that it makes feel like the man I wish I was....and forget the person I have become now. I am chained to certain unwanted memories, and have damned another to my fate. You've seen what I do, what I've become because of my father. But what I am now, I can't answer. My family are the first....there is no name for it. But I also desire.....deeply. And I can love......as I love you"

**End of flashbacks**

These words that she so wanted Klaus to remember. 

"We're the same Niklaus" Aurora smiled. 

"I need you as much as you need me" Aurora said kissing him.

 "Just let me" she seemed to convince him, as he was kissing her back.

But when he had turned and saw that it was Caroline, he felt regrets of having hurt her. He loved her......he had admitted his feelings towards her but now she saw him with someone else. He did not even want to think of what she was thinking of him.

 "Where are you going?" Aurora asked. 

"I-I need to go"

:-:-:-:-

Caroline was running. The pain erupted from her like a volcano and soon her cheeks were wet and salty. Her eyes searched for comfort but she found no amenity around hers. Her face contorted in a portrait of anguish. Her eyes were leaked in pain. While running, she nearly tipped over but a firm hand grabbed her wrist preventing her from falling.

It was Elijah who held her. Elijah's eyes were full of surprise to why was she crying.

 "Caroline" he called but she couldn't face him. 

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked full of concern.

She wiped her tears "I'm fine. It was just a stupid dirt who was in my eyes" she laughed nervously.

 Even though Elijah doesn't know her by heart like Katherine, he could tell when she was lying. She was like an open-book. But he decided to leave it like that.

 "What were you doing here?" Elijah asked. 

"For my job.....I needed to interview someone in the Mikaelson's family" she replied, her eyes and her nose were red.

"If it's okay by you, I'll do the interview" Elijah said.

 "How about tomorrow around a cup of coffee" Elijah proposed. 

She nodded "Sure. I'll see you tomorrow then"

Once outside, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief. She didn't want to cry over a boy for a second time. She didn't want. She would not show Klaus that he had won. She wouldn't. Caroline took her phone out of her bag and dialed a number.

After a few rings, the person answered "Caroline"

"Hey Marcel! Actually I'm free for tonight. So why don't we hang out a bit" Caroline smiled. 

She wanted to enjoy her life, not to cry over someone who doesn't even deserve her tears. 

"Sure, I'll see you tonight" Marcel hung up.

Meanwhile...................

"Excuse me! Could you give the room number of a certain Bonnie Bennett" Kol asked. 

"Room 51" the receptionist said.

 "Thanks"

He knocked, after two minutes she came. "Kol!" she exclaimed.

 "What are you doing here?" Bonnie said quite surprised.

 "Isn't it a crime to see a friend" Kol teased.

 "No it's not" Bonnie said nervously.

 "Is Jamie here" Kol asked. 

He saw how Bonnie tensed when he had said his name.

"No" she said anxiously.

 "Is everything fine" Kol asked. 

When Bonnie didn't reply, he grabbed her by her forearm. 

"Kol you're hurting me" Bonnie yelped.

"Shit" he said being angry with himself. 

He saw that red mark on her forearm and he asked with fear in his voice

 "Did I do that?" he pointed to the red mark.

 "No" she whispered.

"Did Jamie hurt you" Kol asked.

 When she didn't reply, he already knew the answer. 

"I'm going to kill that son of bitch" he growled dangerously. 

"No you're not" Bonnie stood in front of him.

 He looked at her, confused. "He's not worth it. We're over" Bonnie hugged him. 

She started crying, she sobbed harder against him. His shirt was wet. He didn't know what to do, so he did the only thing he knew. He hugged her back. He provided her with comfort. 

"I'm sorry" Kol whispered.

"I'm sorry for your shirt" Bonnie apologized. 

"Did you regret it" Kol asked. 

"Being with him" he added. She didn't reply.

 "The way you were crying it seems you regret it very much" Kol stated.

She still did not say anything. "If you regret it you wouldn't mind if I do that" Kol said.

Before she could withdraw her mind from its far places, his arms were around her, as sure and hard as on the dark road to Tara, so long ago. She felt again like the other time the rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, and the surging tide of warmth that left her limb.

Kol bent back her head across his arm and kissed her, softly and tenderly at first, and then with a swift gradation of intensity that made her cling to him as the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world. His insistent mouth was parting her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling and before a swimming giddiness spun her round, she knew that she was kissing him back.

And yes!! @queenartist. You had guessed right :-
