Rosalyn's POV
I look around me as I hear birds chirping. I see that the sun is starting to shine through the window of the home I bought. I pull out my phone to see I have multiple missed calls and texts. The most recent from Stefan. I called him and even before the first full ring went through he answered. " Where are you Rose?!" I yawned, ruffling my messy hair. " I bought a place in Mystic Falls. I stayed over at it. Sorry I didn't call to let you know. You know how I am on my privacy." I heard his sigh of relief. " Thank God you're okay. We thought Katherine found out you were here." I giggled. " Nope, I am all good, Stef. I'm going to head into town to get some breakfast then head back to my new place to see about my furniture I ordered. I'll message ya later okay?" He said okay and we ended our call. I saw that my beloved had called me a few times and I sighed, knowing him, he will have thought the worst.
I called him next. " Why haven't you answered?" I giggled, " I fell asleep is all. I am up and heading to town to get some breakfast. I am assuming you're already in town." I heard his sigh on the other line, " I am. In fact, open the door, love." I vamp sped to the door and opened it. I gasped as my eyes lit up and dropped my phone to hug him. His cheeky grin spread on his face as he saw my infectious excitement. He caught me in his arms and I nestled into him, inhaling his scent of bourbon and cologne. I felt more than heard his chuckle as he kissed the top of my head. I pulled away slightly to look up at him as he looked down at me. " Hello there." I smiled up at him, " Hello Elijah."
He chuckled as he tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. " You always have the cutest bed head dear." I giggled in response, " And you always look the best in a suit, love." He smirked a bit at that. " Let's get breakfast. I'm starving!" He chuckled and pulled away only to hold out his arm for me to loop mine through his. " Such a gentleman Mr. Mikaelson." He quirked a brow as I looped my arm with his. " Shall we, darling?" We strolled over to my pickup and he held the door open for me.
I smiled and pecked his cheek as I hopped in and out the key in the ignition. I looked down at myself and frowned as he got in the passenger seat. " What is it?" I looked at him, " I haven't changed yet from yesterday's clothes." He chuckled. I turned around and reached over for a duffle bag that had more of my clothes in it. I turned my back to him and looked at him over my shoulder with a smirk. " Mind lending a hand?"
He eyed me up and down before reaching over, and with skillful hands, undid my corset. I slid it off and heard him suck in a breath, " You always loved to tease." I looked over my shoulder again smirking, " You've never complained." He chuckled. I grabbed a crop top that was light blue and floral. I took off my heels and changed to a pair of gray toms and changed my pants to black skinny jeans. When he saw my cheeky maroon panties I heard his sharp intake of breath.
" Man, I forgot how annoying it is to get changed in a vehicle. He chuckled and pushed my hair out of my face. " Now we can go." He sat back as I started the truck. I thought that us going to the Mystic Grill would be a bad idea so we went to a small cafe on the other side of town. We were seated and we each got a cup of tea and some breakfast. I got some chocolate chip scones and a chocolate muffin. He chuckled, " Always the big sweet tooth." I stuck out my tongue playfully at him and he smirked. He went serious after we got our food. " So why is it that you needed me here love?" I sighed and set my cup of Earl Grey down. " My brothers got in touch with me saying they needed my help. When I arrived Stefan told me that Katherine has returned here to town." He nodded, " Why has she returned." I frowned, " Doppelganger. She has a living doppelganger, Lijah." He sat up straight, " Impossible."
" I thought so too. Until I caught her scent. She is human. And she is with my brother. I will not have another repeat of Katherine and my brothers. I'll kill her before my brothers die because of her." He frowned at that. " I know love. I know. Does Klaus know?" I sat back and tilted my head in thought. " Not sure. I don't think anyone really knows that this girl exists. Should I tell him?" He sighed and frowned, " I still do not like that he is also your mate love. But it might be in our best interest if we hold this off and try to give Katerina to him as well." I pouted, " But I would love to be the one to gut her Lijah."
