First.
I couldn't tear my eyes away and surely I was making him uncomfortable. The last time I had seen that face was, well it was not under pleasant circumstances. He looked so young just as my husband had when we were married. I assumed he was right around the same age as well. My heart pounded and I could feel heat rising up my neck and the blush spreading across my face.
"Let me help you with that," my savior said as he bent down and helped gather the towels and clothes I had dropped. We put everything safely on the counter.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Matt Donovan." Oh God. My heart sank. This was the same Matt that both Elena and Caroline had dated at some point.
"I'm Norrah," I said quickly, "I'm Elena's cousin."
"Oh, I had no idea that Elena had any cousins," he replied.
"We're distant cousins," I explained, "in fact we only just meet a few months ago. Up until then I don't think that she knew she had any either." I smiled at him and then remembered what an utter mess I was. "Well it was very nice meeting you Matt. Thank you so much for everything you did for me today. I hope to see you again around town."
"Yeah, me too," he smiled back at me. "I work down at The Grille in town, so if you ever stop by, look for me." He walked out of the bathroom and started down the hall. I was just about to close the door when I heard him call my name.
"Oh Norrah," he said starting back in my direction, "Stefan wanted me to tell you to thank Lexi for coming up with the plan. I'm not completely sure what that means or who Lexi is, but I don't ask too many questions when it comes to vampires and witches and such."
"I'll make sure to tell her," I assured him. "See you around." He waved and I closed and locked the door as I heard him walking away and out the front door.
I turned around to find Lexi sitting up on the counter. "You came up with the plan? What was he talking about?" I asked her. "You were with me in the car. How did you get a message to them?"
"Well you were passed out for most of the ride. After you went out I popped back up to the cabin, grabbed your journal and pen. I went to the boarding house and wrote everything down on a blank page, tore it out and gave it to Stefan. He executed it from there and when Rebekah got to the house I popped back into the car to wake you up."
"Oh my God Lex, you saved my life again." I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and let a few tears fall before letting go.
"Yeah, yeah, well, it turns out I kinda like you," she teased as she smiled at me. "Now get in that shower and make it fast, you aren't safe here and we need to get you somewhere that you will be."
"Can Rebekah get in here?" I asked as I turned on the shower.
"No, but Klaus and Katherine can so get a move on," she said as she left the room.
