Careless Whispers
Chapter 2
Lilah woke to an empty bed. She sat up sleep still clouding her vision. She rubbed her eyes like a child, fists clenched and knuckles pressing in hard before stretching her arms behind her back. She looked down at her stomach her top had ridden up revealing her stomach, she ran her fingers across it. She shivered at the memories of her death. She looked around the room trying to catch a glimpse of Klaus. The copy of The Great Gatsby she was reading from was closed and sitting on the nightstand. Lilah sighed heavily at least some things never changed he was always gone before she had woken up. It made her sad sometimes that he she never woke up in his arms, but then she remembered he never left the house without telling her so it was okay. Lilah slipped out of bed and took the peach night robe of the end of the bed; Klaus must have placed in there for her. She slipped it on and making her way down the corridor to Rebekah's room. The door was open and there were a trail of clothes coming out of the walk in closet attached to Rebekah's room. It surprised Lilah that despite all that had changed she didn't seem to have an aversion to it.
"Bekah?" she calls cautiously as another dress flies out of the closet.
"Damn it"
"Is everything alright?"
"Yeah"
"you sure?"
"I was looking for a dress,."
"I gathered that" Lilah said eyeing the trail of dresses
"My mother is holding some ball thing and I thought I had this dress but I can't find it"
"Well you can just buy one when we go shopping in a little while,"
"True, but I wanted this dress I owned in the 20's"
"Well its now … well whatever it is so suck it up and give me some clothes"
Rebekah laughed, she was happy to see her best friend had not changed since having been bought back to life. Rebekah handed her a pair of pale blue skinny jeans a baggy grey v-neck and a pair of pale pink platforms. Lilah looked up with a raised eyebrow.
"I know, I know" Rebekah sighed coming out of the closet properly. Lilah pulled off her pyjamas and pulled on the lacy pink panties Rebekah had given her
"There brand new, you'll have to forgo a bra I haven't got one"
"Its fine love, it would be the wrong size" she said pulling the grey top over her head. Lilah looked at herself in the mirror, she nodded fluffing her curls.
"Its alright"
Rebekah laughed slipping on her heels.
The two girls made there way downstairs to the kitchen. Klaus was sitting at the kitchen island, a mug of coffee in his hand flipping through the daily paper. The scene was oddly domestic and Rebekah chuckled at the thought of the Salvatore's watching them in the mornings.
"Hello Darling" he said as Lilah wrapped her arms around his shoulders pressing her lips to his neck.
"Morning Nik"
"You look nice" he said gazing over her outfit
"Hmmm, I see that is a matter of opinion" she said wrinkling her nose, "these pants are far too tight"
"You would look good in a bin bag my love"
Lilah giggled and took a sip from Klaus' mug. Klaus looked up and chuckled pressing a kiss to the underside of her jaw.
"Isn't this touching"
"Elijah" Lilah smiled letting go of Klaus and running over to the other vampire Elijah smiled and wrapped his arms around her. He could feel her chest press against his thin shirt. Her lack of bra highly apparent. He gulped and let her go quickly. She smiled oblivious to Elijah's discomfort and skipped merrily back to Klaus. Klaus smiled at her childish antics and pulled her into his lap pressing kisses all over her face. She giggled pushing at Klaus's face.
"Lilah" he said with authority
She smiled and leant in close to his ear, so quietly that only he could ear she whispered.
"Its sexy when you get all authoritative like that"
Klaus gulped and chuckled pressing his lips to Lilah's. She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. Klaus leant his head back into her hand relaxing.
"I hate to steal her away but we need to go shopping." Rebekah said finally having enough of Lilah and Klaus hanging all over each other.
"No she's mine" Klaus whined. Lilah chuckled and pressed her lips to Klaus neck pulling away from his arms.
"I'll be back in a little bit besides I need to buy a dress"
"Ah yes mother's ball" Klaus sighed taking his mug from Lilah before she could finish it.
"The coffee is better now" she smiled pressing a kiss to Klaus's lips before linking her arm with Rebekah's and leaving the house giggling all the way.
Lilah looked around her as she sat in the soft couch in one of the many shops Rebekah had taken her today. They had all the essentials for Lilah and enough clothes to sink a small ship. Some were already in Rebekah's car others were littered around Lilah's feet. They were currently in a store specializing in ball gowns. Lilah's was lying next to her a sea of black silks, organza and tulle with a golden feather like embroidery across the bodice and top of the skirt. The glass of champagne was held precariously in the tips of her fingers.
"Rebekah are you done yet," she winced as she threw another dress at the assistant.
"I can't find anything I like"
"We can come back"
"No"
"Sorry I mentioned it" she said pointing her feet examining her shoes. She looked at the shop assistant with sympathy before looking around the shop. She noticed a green dress hanging on the rack. She pointed it out to the assistant, who grabbed it and knocked on the door
"We had one more option Miss"
"Fine" Rebekah huffed sticking her hand out for the dress.
"Hmm" she said, Lilah took out the phone Rebekah had given her, she had programmed in Klaus number and had taught her how to text. She smile and typed out three letters
SOS
She waited as Rebekah fiddled behind the curtain, her phone vibrated in the seat next to her. She picked it up and smiled as Klaus' name popped up on the screen.
I knew it was a bad idea letting Rebekah take you shopping. I've lost you forever… come back to me darling x
Lilah chuckled at Klaus' dramatics and looked up at Rebekah who had just come out of the changing room.
"Oh Becks you look lovely" Lilah smiled
"You think so"
"Yes of course"
"Okay, I'll take this one"
The shop keeper nodded and whispered in her managers ear. The look of shock spread across her face but she made her way to the check out anyway, taking Lilah's dress as well. Lilah stood and followed Rebekah who had grabbed the last of the bags. She took a quick look at the total before handing over her card. They left the store and made their way back to the mansion.
Lilah smiled at Rebekah who took her bags up stairs while Lilah made her way to the music room where she knew she would find Klaus. She pushed open the door and slid inside, some soft jazz was playing in the background while Klaus sat on one of the sofas a sketch book in his hand.
"Hello darling" he said not looking up.
"Hello" she said kicking off her obnoxious heels, she sighed in relief and padded her bare feet over to the sofa. Klaus closed his book and opened his arms up to her. Lilah sat herself in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her neck.
"I missed you" Lilah smiled
"I thought Rebekah had taken you hostage" he chuckled running his fingers up and down her spine. She sighed happily relaxing into his touch.
"It was a close call" she smiled, running her fingers across Klaus' jaw
"Well, I'm keeping you here now"
"I feel like a possession"
"You're not, I have you back the thought of loosing you it hurts too much Lia"
"I know" she nodded burying her body deeper into his.
"I love you Lia"
"I love you too Nik"
Klaus beamed, and Lilah smile and run her hand down his cheek her fingers stopping at his dimples. Klaus took her hand and kissed the palm of it.
Klaus took her face in his hand and pulled her towards him. His lips slowly started massaging hers. She moaned into his mouth pulling her body closer to his.
"Liliya" he groaned
"Nik"
"Take me to bed" she asked as he swung her up into her arms and using his vampire speed to take her upstairs.
