Rebekah tried really hard not to watch her brother as they walked but found it hard when she noticed almost all the women giving him a once over and the jealousy that she felt was gnawing at her was making her irritable. She wanted to scream at the women, to tell them that he was hers and not theirs, to wrap her hands around his neck and kiss him in front of everyone so that they would all see and stop thinking that any one of them ever stood a chance.

She hated how Kol was either ignoring the looks he was receiving or didn't even know what was going on. She scoffed at the though. As if her brother wouldn't know when gorgeous women were almost throwing themselves at him. She pulled on his arm as they walked to get his attention back on her. Rebekah knew that she was spoiled, as the only girl in the family she was allowed to be spoiled and even though she had plenty of attention being a girl, the thing that she wanted most was for Kol to notice her and stop seeing her as his sister and more of a woman instead.

Kol walked with his sister and saw her frowning at the attention he was receiving from other women, but paid no attention to it as the one he wanted was right next to him. He wouldn't say that to her straight, he still didn't know what possessed him to kiss her, she was his sister after all, but he couldn't takes his mind off the kiss and as they walked hand in hand, Kol still felt the remnants of the kiss on his lips. He smiled slightly not to alert her to these thoughts but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about how good she felt in his arms.

If the kiss they had shared in his room that morning was any indication then maybe he already felt that way about her, Rebekah though. Remembering his soft lips moving against hers, Rebekah felt her cheeks heat up and she turned her head away from him, to hide her embarrassment before it gets even worse. She couldn't get the kiss out of her mind, and doubted that she ever would, but that was a small price to pay since she had been thinking and dreaming of that kiss for many years now and didn't ever want to feel the lips of another on hers, but only Kol's.

She smooth down her hair, not liking that the wind was blowing her hair all over the place but refused to wear a hat or tie her hair up in any way. She knew Kol liked it free and she did too, as that was the only thing she still could control and didn't need to ask anyone permission before doing anything.

Rebekah sighed, looking around. "Well, I don't know what is wrong with people these days, but I honestly can't see anyone that would be a good match for you, brother" She said, lightly shrugging her shoulders and rolling her eyes.

He wondered how she would react if he pulled her close to him once more and crushed their lips together, but thought against it when he heard her speak. He smirked to himself and turned his head to hide it before she saw it. He could hear the jealousy in her voice and as he answered, he tried to make sure that he sounded just as appalled at the thought as she was.

"Relax sister dear, we don't have to find someone today. We have plenty of time ahead of us" He said, smirking.

She couldn't see anyone who she would have liked for her brother, but mostly because she never imagined anyone but herself with him and now that it was all becoming too real, she couldn't help be in a bad mood and picking at other women.

"Oh don't be like that Bekah; I can see plenty of gorgeous women, but non compare to your beauty" Kol answered, his smirk large on his face.

When he spoke of her beauty at first he thought that Rebekah had not thought of it in such a way and the kiss they shared was not the same for her as it was for him. How could she not see how beautiful she was? All the men in the town wanted her as their wife and were giving her such adoration filled looks that Kol was starting to think that maybe coming out wasn't the smartest idea but he wanted to spend time with her.

They walked to a fountain and sat down on the side, next to each other and hearing him speak Rebekah turned to face him.

"Do not speak of such things, brother" She said, sadly. Rebekah didn't want to think that a kiss would mean so much to her and wasn't ready for him to pull her way from under her. It was better if they ignored it and forgot all about it, especially when they were in public. It wouldn't be wise to cause a scene. Father would be rather cross with them if they brought shame to the House of Mikaelson just because they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

"Of what kind of things, sister? Do let me know so I know not to make the same mistake again" Kol asked, leaning closer to her so he could whisper in her ear, he smelled her hair and skin and with great difficulty pulled back to look at her. He was glad to have made her shiver as she looked so adorable then and he wanted to move her hair away from her shoulder and kiss her neck.

Rebekah cursed him for talking in riddles and for leaning in. She could feel his breath on her skin and it made her shiver. She turned her body so her knees were facing him and looked as serious as she could. "Do not play this game with me, Kol. I am your sister, not your whore" Rebekah said, quietly but knew that he will pick up on the tone of the comment.

"I have not forgotten that we are related, but don't pretend that you felt nothing when I kissed you" He said, holding her arm, so she couldn't move away. He hated when she acted this way but it was understandable since it was weighing heavily on his mind as well and he wasn't quite sure how to go around it.

Rebekah was about to say something back when she saw someone approaching. She nudged her head in the direction of the person and was released from Kol's grip, only to be pushed behind him as he stood up and faced the man.

Kol, noticing the man, jumped to his feet and protectively shoved Rebekah behind him. There was no way in hell he will let this man lay a hand on her.

"Kol, don't. You know what will happen if you fight. Just leave it" Rebekah whispered behind him, holding her palms pushed up against Kol's back, hoping that he will listen to her and walk away before they start a fight that will surely get back to their father and then they will both be punished and she did not want that. "Kol, please, I can deal with this"

He didn't want to do anything that would make his sister unhappy so he just stood and waited for the man to start speaking first. He knew that if he started a fight it would not end well and would anger his father so much that he might even bring Rebekah's wedding date closer and he would lose her sooner.

She stepped out from behind Kol and turned to greet the man but he was faster and hearing his voice, Rebekah's inside tightened and she wished Kol would kill him so she wouldn't have to. "Mr. Lockwood, pleasure sir" Rebekah said and bowed. She hated the man but had to be polite to him, after all she is to marry him.

"Please, call me Tyler, Miss. Mikaelson" Tyler Lockwood said and took her hand and kissed it. Then he turned to face Kol and Rebekah could see Kol's tightened jaw and how tense he was standing. "Kol, still around I see. Isn't it time you got married too? I've already had two wives and yet you've had none. Tell me, why is that?"

Rebekah could see how Tyler was trying to bate her brother into a fight and put her hand in his, to tell him that she was there for him and that fighting won't solve anything. There was nothing more that Rebekah wished and punching Tyler Lockwood was very high on her list then, but she knew that it wasn't fair to do something like that, as Kol would probably get blamed for it because she was a woman.

"Stay away from my sister, Tyler, because trust me as I say this now, she will not be marrying you" Kol said, stepping closer to the man and baling his hands into fists. "Rebekah is too good for you and I will make sure that she is not your wife, not now not ever. Mark my words"

"Mighty words for a man like yourself. And how do you plan to make sure of that? Her father and I have agreed already and you know there is nothing that can stop it now, apart from death and I am in perfect health and I was assured so is she, sp I really don't see what you can do to stop me from taking her as my wife" Tyler smirked.

"Oh don't worry, I will find something." Kol said to him then stepped back and grabbed Rebekah by the hand and started walking away. "Come on Rebekah".

Rebekah watched her brother and as soon as they were far enough so that Tyler won't hear or see them, wrapped her hands around his neck and held on tight.

"I thought you were going to do something stupid" She whispered in his neck and felt his arms go around her. "Thank you, for not starting anything, I imagine it wasn't easy with a man like him"

"You're right, it wasn't, but I had you there" Kol answered, pulling her away from him and looking at her face, "WE didn't finish our conversation"

"Kol, don't please. What are you trying to achieve by acting like this? I only have a moth before I have to marry that man and lose you forever, please don't make it any harder than it already is" She begged him, holding on to the front of his shirt and a few tears falling down her face. She refused to look at him as she spoke, instead finding the ground suddenly very interesting.

"You won't lose me, Rebekah and I meant what I said, you are not marrying that man, I won't allow it." Kol said, pulling her closer, and holding her tight against his chest.

"What are you talking about? Only father can make that decision" Rebekah said and sighed. It was nice to dream, to imagine for a fleeting moment that she wouldn't have to marry Tyler Lockwood, instead being allowed to be with Kol how she wanted, but after the moment finished, all that was left was hurt. And Rebekah was tired of feeling hurt. She was tired of dreaming of things and then have her dreams crash and burn and never happens the way she wanted it to.

"Don't think about it, now, I will sort it out, I promise" Kol said softly against her hair and she could feel him smiling.

Rebekah pulled away and wiped her tears. This was the third time she cried in the last two days and second time when Kol was there for her. He must really think she's nothing but a weak human, she though. "Right, enough of that, let's find you a wife, shall we? After all that is why we came here in the first place and I don't want to hear anything until we find someone who would be an alright wife" Rebekah said and jabbed him with her finger, laughing. This was her way to change the subject and she hopped that Kol won't mention anything about their kiss until at least when they got to the house. She really didn't look forward to breaking down in tears again in public.

"Alright, sister" Kol said and smiled, raising his arms and gesturing to everything around them, "Take your pick. Who do you think would be best for me? Because I know you are thinking of many tests to put my future wife through so make sure she is worthy of them and not some ordinary girl that I will be bored with after a day" Kol hated to think of it that way, but pretences were to be held and no matter how he felt, he could show his distaste to the whole thing.

He followed her gaze as she looked everyone over and couldn't find anyone that he liked because the one he did like, was standing next to him, her blond hair flowing in the wind, a light pink flush to her cheeks, biting down on her bottom lip, something that drove Kol crazy and he groaned inwardly as she looked around, turning her body back to him.

"I don't see anyone that I like for you" Rebekah said and frowned. She wasn't trying too much but still felt like she should. "Maybe you can ask father to set it all for you so you wouldn't have to choose". She smirked slightly, her eyes shining with something Kol couldn't quite figure out yet.

"And marry someone he deems appropriate for me and my name? I don't think so but if I get desperate enough maybe I should. Who knows maybe she'll be a fine woman and make a great wife" Kol said, smirking right back at her.

They played these games with one another when they were younger and Kol smiled at the memory and the fact that she still felt the same way about their situation to make jokes with him when all he wanted to do was grab her hand and run away, far away, so no one could find them.

"Oh hush, brother, you know it won't happen" Rebekah said. She didn't know how, but she will make sure that Kol does not marry. She will lose another brother and one that she loved so dearly. "Let's go home then, I think we've spent enough time here and Nanny will be worried if I disappear for too long"
