Chapter 46 - Single and ready to drown sorrows in alcohol

'' Hola, como estas? '' I asked, smiling at Caroline and looking around. I was standing next to her in front of a beautiful mansion. She looked stressed and she was holding a bunch of papers. There were people, carrying party decorations and similar stuff around. '' Que estas haciendo? '' I continued, still in Spanish.  

'' Don't tell me that you know Spanish? '' Caroline seriously said, without even looking away from the papers in her hands.  

A smirk appeared on my face. '' I just learned a couple of useful sentences like fuck you, I'm going to kill you and where's my vodka. I lived in Barcelona. You should see me in one of those costumes for tango. '' I started laughing and then looked at her. '' How is it that you didn't text me back yesterday? How did the whole Tyler and Pete thing go? ''  

Caroline sighed and looked at me. '' Well, Tyler is officially mad at me and probably fucking Hayley. You know, I met that werewolf bitch. She is even worse then you described her! '' She made a face like she smelled something really bad and slowly shook her head. '' And knowing that Tyler cheated on me with someone like her it just... I don't know... What does she have that I don't? Is she so much better? What's wrong with me? ''  

'' So, you are single and ready to mingle? '' I wondered, raising my eyebrows, trying to make her smile. 

'' More like single and ready to drown my sorrows in alcohol, '' Caroline replied and smirked.  

'' What about Pete? '' I was wondering how Pete was doing. I haven't talked to him for a couple of days now.  

She shrugged. '' I'm not sure where we are. But I think that I would like to try with him. He... understands. ''  

'' If you actually found that in a guy you should keep him, '' I said, nodding. '' If he understands who you are why you do stuff you'll probably live happily ever after. Not like me and Klaus. '' I frowned and rolled my eyes. '' We'll probably end up like... maybe like the evil witch and Dorothy. And Klaus is Dorothy by the way. ''  

That was when Caroline actually started laughing. '' Oh my God, Klaus as Dorothy? Are you serious? ''  

A grin appeared on my face. '' And the yellow road is the magic way to the bar. '' I looked around. '' What are you doing by the way? ''  

'' Miss Mystic Falls pageant is back and I'm one of the organizers, '' she replied, staring at the mansion with me. '' Do you think that it looks okay, the flowers around the entrance and everything? ''  

'' Yeah, it's fine. But a beauty pageant? Seems kind a lame, '' I said and frowned.  

'' Elena usually wins, '' Caroline replied and sighed.  

I turned at her and raised my eyebrows. '' I can sabotage her this year if you want? Steal her dress and destroy it, change something in her curling iron so it'll blow up in her face? ''  

Caroline smiled and shook her head. '' No need. Even if I am currently pretty mad at her. ''  

'' Oh, so you joined the club, '' I replied, smiling. '' But seriously, what happened? Aren't you, her and Bonnie like best friends? The three musketeers? ''  

Caroline rolled her eyes. '' She broke up with Stefan. ''  

'' What? '' I asked and frowned, confused. '' Weren't they like the perfect couple? First vampire and human, now both vampires and could spend the rest of the eternity together? '' I shook my head. '' This sounds worst then Cinderella. Even if I can imagine Stefan loosing a glass shoe... ''  

'' Okay, would you stop with the fairy tales? '' Caroline asked, smiling. '' She broke up with him and guess who's she's going to the pageant with? ''
