A Persistent Lover

Dates and Pranks

Caroline smiled lightly. "Well I know for a fact her favorite color is red. She thinks it's radiant and regal and all that jazz.

Kol finally looked away from the screen, looking at Caroline with an intriguing look.

"What else?"

"I don't know her favorite foods at the top of my head, but I know she loves kettle corn and chocolate covered pretzels. I know, very random, but I swear she eats them all the time when she's not worrying about dieting."

Kol nodded his head, assessing the information. "I'm just wondering because I'd like to have her over. To get to know her and all. "Hang out", is that what you call it?"

"Yeah, so you're thinking like a date, but not quite a date, right?"

"Yes, exactly!" Kol exclaimed loudly. Klaus grunted in his sleep at the noise, but remained asleep.

"So...do you think it's pointless?"

Caroline nudged her shoulder into his. "No, I think it's a great idea. Plus, apparently Klaus got Bonnie to forgive him...so that must mean something, right?"

Kol nodded before grabbing Caroline's phone from the table. "Can you call on your phone? I still haven't gotten any of this century's gadgets yet."

Caroline scrolled through the contacts, clicking on Bonnie's. He nervously took the phone from her as ot began to ring.

"Should I go?" Caroline pointed to the door.

Kol nervously shook his head, grabbing Caroline's hand. She stopped a giggle, but kept quiet. She heard Bonnie as clear as day on the other end.

"Hey Caroline, what's up!"

Kol opened his mouth to speak, closed it, then tried again.

"Hello, it's not Caroline, for it is I, Kol Mikaelson."

Caroline snorted out a laugh and it was met by a scowl from Kol.

"What?" he mouthed, but Bonnie was already talking.

"Kol? How the hell did you get Caroline's phone?"

"She gave it to me, see I wanted to..."

"What? She gave it to you?"

"Yes, in fact she is seated right here next to me, but please allow me to continue."

Caroline heard Bonnie mutter something under her breath, but for the most part she remained silent.

"Bonnie Bennett, for many weeks I have desired the privilege to know you better. I understand you think I am an unfeeling and heartless monster, but recently I feel that you may have reconsidered your view on my family and me. Would you please do me the honor of coming over tomorrow afternoon to have an unofficial date with me? Or hang out?"

The phone was silent. Kol gave Caroline a pained look which was received by a wink from Caroline. Another moment and Bonnie finally spoke.

"That was very formal."

Kol stuttered at the unexpected response, but quickly replied, "But I hope convincing!"

Caroline suddenly moved so her face was right next to Kol's. "He'll be on his best behavior!"

"Yes, of course. Please Bonnie, give me a chance," Kol said, finally getting back his some of his cockiness.

Bonnie grumbled on the other end, but with another pause said, "What time do you want me there?"

"Ummmm..." Kol gave Caroline a desperate look. She pointed up a finger.

"Is 1 alright?"

"Sounds lovely. I'll see you tomorrow," Bonnie said in a sarcastic voice and hung up.
