Chapter 4:

"So, correct me if I'm wrong," She used her hands to talk which told the group of men in front of her that she was highly irritated by the situation. "You guys decided to steal the mayor's car because you thought you wouldn't get arrested because you're Klaus' brother…and you're his sister's boyfriend?" Matt and Kol looked at each other to see if they were in an agreement before nodding 'yes' to her question.

The dirty New Orleans jail was crawling with tourist who had too much to drink, prostitutes and Elena's favorite type of people- idiots. Kol and Matt wore matching shirts but different types of jeans undoubtedly Kol's grand idea. "C'mon Elena, bail us out!" Kol slurred as he whined behind the bars of the jail cell. She cut her eyes at them before turning to the officer.

"How many years is it for grand larceny?" She asked sweetly, "Up to 20 years, right?"

"You'd be correct, Miss." The pudgy officer that arrested the two said, "But the mayor already called and said I could release them as long as someone picked them up." Elena rolled her eyes, "You are going to pick them up, right?" The officer seemed to beg her to get them out of the jail.

"I suppose." She stepped away as the man unlocked the bars that caged the infantile delinquents. They'd called her out of bed for this, made her promise not to tell Klaus, and ruined her night. Lucky for her, Klaus was busy pissing off the witch community with meaningless threats and minor examples of what he was capable of. Of course, she knew what was really capable of and if the witches kept pushing their limits (and boundaries) within the city he would have to take immediate action. She was prepared for it… it didn't take a witch to know that magic was brewing in the air- it just took an observant person.

She'd told Alaric of this when she talked to him on the phone before she went to bed-right after he told her he had gotten engaged. Alaric and Meredith had officially gotten together the same time her and Klaus had… She wanted to pretend that didn't bother her- she was way too young to be thinking about marriage and stuff like that. Alaric was steadily getting older and needed to marry someone that loved him and would give him the satisfaction of having his own kids one day.

So what if she was jealous?

"Err… thanks Elena." Kol said as he rubbed his wrist, "I usually like being handcuffed but that was less appealing."

"Kol, that's a little too much information." She told him, "I can't believe you two got arrested. You're so lucky Klaus is your brother." She told Kol, "If it had been my choice, you would have stayed a few nights but I can't have you two in jail when Klaus is so stressed out. On second thought, damn…it'd probably take a lot of stress off his chest if you two were in jail."

"I know what else would get a lot of stress of his chest." Kol sung as he spelled out the word, "S-E-X." Kol walked in front of Elena, "Actually, I think the fact that you two haven't been having sex is what drove us to do such an immature act."

"Please explain your theory." Elena raised her eyebrows as they opened the car doors. Kol slid in the passenger seat, winking to Matt as if his theory was at all plausible.

Kol inhaled before he started talking quickly, "Klaus and you used to have sex every night, which put us on a routine to both leave my house or your house at a certain time and then, return at a certain time so we can sleep. Since you've gone Mother Teresa on us, we've been out of a routine. Without discipline, we're sure to fail."

"So, you're a thousand years old and you need discipline to follow the laws? Do you see the obvious flaw in your logic?" Elena shook her head, "Listen, I know it hasn't been ideal but you guys have to try to behave…he's a grouch!" She felt like she was talking to children as Kol leaned back in the seat and started to pout. "Fine. Fine." She repeated, "Fine. I will give you back your routine under one condition…" The fact that she had already planned sleep with Klaus made her feel a little evil as she made the deal with them. "No more late night, blackout, drunk nights."

"Really? That's all we have, Elena." Matt disagreed with her deal, "C'mon."

"Alright, no more late night, blackout, drunk nights without me." Kol looked at Matt, who nodded his head. "Deal?"

"Deal." They said in unison. Kol opened his mouth once more, "I have a sub-condition." He smirked, "If you have to come to the nights with us, then we get to pick the location."

"You always pick the location." Elena said, "That's a stupid condition."

"And the time."

"The time?"

"Like right now for instance. The night's still young, you have to sleep with my brother…why don't we do body shots? Elena you're first."

"I can agree to going out right now…but hell no, we aren't do body shots." Elena frowned, "We can do regular shots at the house."

"But I get to pick the location." Kol said, "That's the condition!"

"You can pick the location any time after I hold up my part of the deal…but you don't get to pick time because my luck, it'd be 4 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon."
