Davina hadn't really thought about the kiss. Okay. She couldn't stop thinking about it. She wasn't sure if Kol really liked her, or was he just using her to get what he wanted. So she avoided him. That was kind of childish from her, but she didn't care. Her phone rang. Kol again. She didn't answer. Again.
She was going to a high school party today. She needed something to get her mind off Kol. Her friend had invited her to party, and yes, she actually had friends besides Cami and Josh. When she arrived at the party, she started drinking. And it didn't take long until she was drunk. Then her phone rang. Again. She decided to answer. It couldn't hurt right?
''What?'' She tried to sound annoyed.
''You're avoiding me, love'' His voice brang goosebumps all over her.
''Maybe''
''Why?''
''Guess'' Kol could hear loud music and people having fun around Davina.
''I have no idea. Last we saw, I thought we were enjoying each other. You didn't complain then so why the sudden chance? And where are you?''
''Maybe I came to my senses. And I'm having fun. Like a normal teenager''
''You're at a party aren't you? You sound a little tipsy. I would love to see you now, darling'' He said it with laugh. And he sounded so..sexy. Gosh. Davina was in trouble.
''But then that would complicate me avoiding you''
''Screw that. Text me the address'' Kol said with termination in his voice, and he hang up quickly before Davina could object.
She sighed. If she was strong enough, she would just turn off her phone and go party with others. But she wasn't. So she texted him. Nothing but the address. And then she went and had another drink. Or a couple. Because without being drunk she didn't know how to face him.
She was pouring herself another drink, maybe it was fourth. Or fifth? She wasn't sure. She started drinking it but couldn't stand straight anymore and spilled the drink on the ground. Suddenly she heard someone laugh.
''I'm so glad I came.'' Kol was smiling brightly and he went over to get paper and started cleaning her mess. Davina tried to stand still, but it wasn't working so she leaned against a wall. Kol watched her up and down, slowly. Davina's heartbeat started to rise.
''I would ask you to dance with me, but I don't think you could do that now. So what if we go find some quiet place?'' She laughed. She knew what he meant and that was so not happening.
''Darling, I knew it. You have a lecherous heart. I know some people would take advantage of this situation, but I'm not that cruel. I just want to talk'' Kol offered his hand and Davina took it. She still wasn't able to stand very well, so Kol put his arm around her and helping her with balance.
After they interrupted a couple of people making out in rooms, they found a free one. Davina went to lie in bed and Kol did the same. Keeping his distance, of course.
''So..why did you avoid me?'' He asked carefully.
''You really have no idea?'' Davina turned to watch him, realizing he was already watching her, and she turned away quickly.
''Nope, I really don't''
''Well there's just that little thing that you lied to me about who you are. And if I wouldn't have found out your true identity who knows if I would still be blindsided? And I know that you need a witch to do that dagger, so I just don't know whether you're using me or…'' Davina couldn't finish that sentence. you actually like me. That sounded stupid. Suddenly she was so ashamed of herself. How could he like her? She was 17, for god sakes.
''Are you serious?'' Kol looked really surprised by her answer. She didn't anwer anything. She didn't even turn to look at him. So Kol touched her face with his hand, softly, and turned her head. ''I am NOT using you. We have the same goal, remember? If I would just need you to do the spell, I could have picked someone easier. You're strong, beautiful. And a little stupid, seeing as you haven't realize how me calling you gorgeous, or flirting with you any chance that I get means that I like you. I really do.''
Davina stared at him. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't really know what to answer. ''Well, that's good to know. Any chance you'll tell me that again tomorrow because I'm not sure I will remember this?''
''I will tell you that as many times as you wish, darling'' He was smiling, and it seemed really genuine.
''I should really get going. It's way past my curfew. Can you give me a ride?'' Kol just smiled and nodded. Davina was feeling better, so she walked without help to his car. The ride was quiet, but it wasn't awkward. Kol had put on some classical music, and Davina was feeling calm. And happy. When they arrived in front of the church, Kol tried to go out of the car, but Davina stopped him, saying how she would get in trouble if Marcel saw him. Kol tried to hide his disappointment but Davina saw it. She laughed, gave a quick kiss on his cheek, and opened the door.
''Good night, Kol'' She looked at him smiling.
''Good night, my darling'' He said before waiting her to get inside, and then leaving.
