Disclaimer: You know it.
The morning came and the first rays of sun hit Kayra like needles. She hated needles.
"Urgh! It's morning." Kayra groaned and hid her face into one of the couch pillows.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you are a vampire." Elijah spoke in a teasing tone.
"O-M-G. My secret's out." Kayra spoke with a straight face, mocking him.
If only she knew the truth.
"I better get going before the office crowd rushes out on to the streets with their mochas,lattes,croissants in one hand and the other hand assaulting a poor blackberry." Kayra made a very poor but completely comical imitation. She then stood up and started looking for her shoes.
"I'd offer to drop you home but something tells me you wouldn't accept it," Elijah said standing up.
He was standing in the corner with his hands in pockets waiting for Kayra to finish tying up her laces. And yes he was definitely checking her ass out when she was bent over tying up her laces.
Wait a second, did she just wiggle before standing up?
Before Kayra could comment on Elijah's statement,
Who let the dogs out whoof whoof whoof rang loudly from her cell phone.
Kayra jumped on the couch to get her cell phone that was resting on the table next to it.
She quickly stole a glance over to Elijah who had a smirk playing on his lips before picking the call up.
She walked away from Elijah to take the call but he could hear perfectly who she was talking to. Or rather who had such an offensive ringtone on her cell phone.
It was her mother.
"Yes Mom. I was out all night. I haven't been mugged or raped and since I am talking to you, obviously not killed. Will you please stop freaking out?" Kayra talked in hushed tone.
"I am whispering because it's 6 in the morning. No one is holding me hostage. For Christ's sake mum, go back to sleep!" Kayra whispered almost edging on yelling.
"I swear to god, I will slap a restraining order on you if you don't end the call in the next 5 seconds." Kayra continued, gritting her teeth and closing her eyes in frustration.
Elijah in the other room, was trying very hard to keep his laughter in.
"Emergency?" Elijah asked feigning innocence. Failing terribly at it.
"More like catastrophe. Or also known as my mother." Kayra replied dropping herself onto the couch.
"Ahh. Family problems. I can relate." Elijah said taking a seat next to her.
Kayra was sprawled over the couch her hands and legs covering almost half of it. Elijah manoeuvred himself around her and sat on the very edge of it.
"You know my dad plays golf, chess and tennis. You know why he does all of that? So that he doesn't take the gun and shoot a buck load of bullets into himself. My mum's that annoying. When I was in high school, we got her a pet, so that she'd be busy and bother him and not us. Despite my profound hate for animals, I loved that little pet like anything because it kept my mum busy and away from me. But then she went to a park one day with it and gave it away to some kid." Kayra was in her story telling mode. Her eyes closed and her hands making some weird gestures that Elijah couldn't decipher.
"When daddy asked her why she did that, her reply was, and I quote, "because I have priorities. You guys need my undivided attention. You need me more than that pet does." And I kid you not, I saw my father cry that day for the first time." Kayra spoke widening her eyes for the effect.
"You can laugh. I won't bite. I don't bite until sundown." Kayra spoke closing her eyes again and resting her head on the back of the couch.
"Bite?" Elijah asked confused.
"I am a vampire, remember?" Kayra reminded him and Elijah lost it.
Everything, the irony, her story, her mother, it all got the best of him and he laughed for what it seemed like after a century.
Kayra soon joined him in the laughter, her eyes still closed.
"And how about you, suits? How's your family? Any nut jobs like my mum?" Kayra asked when their laughter slowly died down and peaceful silence took over.
Elijah felt tired, laughing so much, tired him. And it felt good to be this kind of tired. He felt like he could finally breathe and so he did. He took a deep breath and it smelled of her perfume. A smile formed on his lips and he settled back on the couch, resting his arms behind his head.
"We define dysfunctional. Sometimes its comical, but the rest of the times, it's downright murderous." Elijah spoke staring at the painting that hung on the front of the wall. It reminded him of Niklaus. This painting was terrible compared to the ones Niklaus did.
A minute or two passed by but there was no response from Kayra. He looked at her and realised she'd fallen asleep.
He looked away from her and closed his eyes, welcoming the sleep that tugged at his eyelids.
It was around 1 in the noon, the heavy curtains in the apartment were closed and it was dark. So dark, that one couldn't see how comfortably Kayra was laying on Elijah. Her head on his chest, legs entwined with his, every inch of her touching him.
What one also couldn't see was how uncomfortable Elijah was. Kayra's messy hair touching all the wrong parts of his face. Like his nose, eyes and mouth. His both arms were trapped underneath her belly where her navel piercing was pressed a little too tightly onto his thumb and he couldn't feel his feet due to the weight of her converse shoes. She had a navel piercing? Why hadn't he noticed that before?
And why was his chest feeling wet? Was she drooling?
Elijah's eyes shot up. If he wanted, he could have easily slid out from underneath her. What with his original stealth and supernatural agility. But that would possibly wake her up and he didn't want to do that. He always was very caring. And kind.
And quite possibly a schmuck. It was almost 4 and it seemed like Kayra wasn't going to wake up unless shaken vigorously.
The upside, she talked in her sleep.
The downside, even when in deep slumber, this girl couldn't shut the fuck up.
She was talking about some Dean guy. And then she had made some noises. Was she dreaming? And what kind of a dream was it?
Whatever it was Elijah didn't like the way she talked about this dean. An ex-boyfriend, perhaps? A background check seemed to be in order.
