Caroline POV -
The only thing that had been on my mind for days was Klaus. We'd hardly even spoken but he'd somehow managed to get into my brain and every thought I had turned into him. So instead i decided to go out with Elena to try take my mind off him. "I went on a date yesterday," there was a slight pause "with Damon Salvatore!" I dropped both dresses out of my hand and squealed with excitement. "And you told me that you wouldn't date for a while... but Elena, tell me every single detail and don't you dare think of missing anything out!"

Elena POV -
I knew Caroline would want to know about it and for the first time, I actually wanted to talk about how I was feeling. I was happy. And with Bonnie spending so much time with her gran, I knew Caroline would be more than happy to listen. Well maybe not listen but let me talk about it with her. "He came to my house on Friday and asked me out and on Saturday he turned up at my door- god knows how he found out where I lived- by he was looking so gorgeous and took me to his house and he had a picnic blanket with a basket full of food and lights. I actually ended up just talking to him the entire evening and it honestly felt good. He didn't try anything funny, we kissed and I fell asleep and I woke up early this morning and snook out because I just didn't know what else to do and I didn't want to wake up to find he'd changed his mind or worse, smelt my morning breath but it felt like the first time I've been genuinely happy for a long time." Caroline's face made her look happier than I felt. She always been a fool for things like this. "And that's it? You didn't do anything else?" I shook my head, Last night with Damon made me feel so full inside. Still I feel as though there is a catch however I've tried to push that thought to the back of my mind. I honestly don't know what's come over me, only a few weeks ago I was still moping around and now it's as if I'm a completely different person and I'm not sure whether to be exited or completely scared out of my mind...

Klaus POV -
For days I'd been unsure what to say to Caroline. Soon enough, I know I'll break and end up telling her and when that day comes, I'm scared she won't love me again. I'd heard her and Elena talking about going out today so I decided to follow them and pretend it was just a small coincidence. I was going to try one of the most obvious ways to like me, ask her to the Miss mystic falls. Those silly dances meant so much to her and she's dragged me to far too many anyway (what was one more?)
I pulled the door to the shop open, "Caroline?"
"Klaus!"
"Is Elena could you give us just a minute," she hesitated but with the nod of Caroline she went away to look at some other dresses.
"Listen, I know we haven't talked much but  I've been thinking about you constantly and I'm sorry for not talking to you sooner." Her worried look was now an almost smile yet I could tell she was trying to not get her hopes up. "but I was wondering if I could maybe make it up to you by taking you to the dance next weekend?" She glanced over at Elena who I could tell was trying to listen into the conversation and then smiled. " if I accept, you better treat me like the princess I am." She giggled and I smirk arose across my face. "I shall see you on Monday then, and love, the green one suits you more." And with that I was off a little too quickly, only afterwards realising that Elena had watched me glide out of the room.
