Thank you guys for all the reviews on the last chapter, it really means a lot.
After six antagonizing hours of helping Caroline with all her decorations; everyone gathered in the Mystic Grill. There were quite a lot of them so they took up many of the tables in the Mystic Grill, but it didn't matter as there weren't many other people there.
Elena and Klaus were sitting beside each other with Bonnie opposite them and Caroline and Stefan beside Bonnie. Caroline and Damon were at the bar ordering the drinks for their table; Caroline volunteered and dragged Damon over to talk to him after seeing his discomfort over Klaus and Elena.
"They look so cute together" Caroline pointed out to an aggravated Damon, referring to Klaus and Elena who were giggling and laughing at some joke Bonnie made.
"Don't talk. Please" Damon responded, adding the please as an afterthought.
"Don't be so grumpy, Damon!" she ordered him, glaring her blue eyes into his blue eyes.
"I'm not grumpy. I'm just trying to face reality"
"How so?" she asked, curiously
"They wouldn't last for long. I'd give it a month or two at most"
"I'd say you're wrong," she smirked, walking away carrying one of the trays with the drinks on it.
After a while of waiting for their order, Elena excused herself to go to the bathroom with Bonnie accompanying her.
"So what's going on with you and Klaus?" Bonnie asked, wiggling her eyebrows at her friend once they entered the girl's restrooms.
"Nothing really. It's kind of like a fling," Elena said, not sure how to describe their 'arrangement.'
"It's just a 'fling'," Bonnie mocked her, "This is you Elena, you are not Katherine. You don't do flings and one-night stands"
"Maybe I do now," Elena winked
Meanwhile
"Does anyone else want any more drinks?" Klaus asked, getting out of his seat. A few people told him what they wanted before Rebekah followed him up to the bar.
"I heard Kol spoke to you about your so-called 'arrangement'," Rebekah told her older brother, taking a seat on the bar stool beside where he was standing.
"He did," Nik replied, bluntly.
"And?" Rebekah smiled reassuringly at her brother, hoping that he'd open up to how he felt about Elena.
"And what?" he asked her, impatiently.
"And do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Do you want this to be more than just another 'business arrangement'?" she wiggled her perfectly shaped eyebrows at the end.
"No. This is and always will be a strictly professional arrangement," he replied
"Keep telling yourself that," she muttered under her breath.
"Just because you were once in the same position , as Elena, with Alexander -," he began to rant
"Don't you dare mention that name!" she snapped at him but he ignored her and continued his rant.
"- when you were both so happily engaged before he broke it off without reason, does it sound a bit like Elena's situation? In this little scenario in your little head, you picture yourself to be Elena, don't you?" he asked, but he didn't wait for an answer, "Of course you do. Except you imagine your prince charming to come and sweep you off your feet. Is Jeremy going to be your next 'prince charming'? Should we book the church for the wedding yet? Because that's what you did with Alexander, the minute you met him you began planning your futures together without knowing anything about the real Alexander."
"Stop it Nik, that's enough!" she cried
"You didn't think to do a background search on him until after the engagement was over and that's when your 'perfect' life shattered. You found out that there was nobody with his name and instead his name was Paul Telfer."
"I said stop it, Nik!" she screamed, causing all the heads in the bar to turn and look at the two siblings arguing, Elena still hadn't come back yet.
"Go right ahead. Laugh at the girl who loved too easily. But I would rather have lived my life than yours, Nik. No one will ever sit around the table telling stories about a man who couldn't love. Do it. Look me in the eye and do it, you coward! Do it!" she screamed at him before she stormed off to the parking lot with Jeremy racing out behind her.
"What the hell was that?" Kol asked his brother, joining him at the bar.
"Don't you start," Klaus snapped
"I didn't do anything!"
"Sure, you didn't," he fake-laughed
"It's all your fault! You got it into her head that I have a thing for Elena"
"And you're not?"
"No, I'm not"
After a few minutes, the brothers returned to the table with the drinks as Elena and Bonnie exited the bathroom and took their seats again. Rebekah returned a few minutes later with Jeremy holding her hand, for support.
A waitress later came with all their food and got more drinks to those who wanted them.
"Rebekah, love, eat your veggies," Klaus teased her, hoping she'd forgave him.
His hope was shattered when she answered, "I'm not eating until you apologize"
"For which indiscretion? There have been so many," he joked with her
"You know what happened or would you like me to jog your memory?"
"I'm sorry Bex," he replied, sounding sincere. He wasn't sure if she accepted it or not because after he said it, she blanked him.
I'm sorry for not updating in ages but I had exams (my last one was on Tuesday) so I had to revise :( but hopefully now, I'll have more time to upload.
I'm soooo sorry that it's short and there isn't any Klena interaction but the next chapter will have some so don't worry! I also hope you guys like this chapter because I kind of rushed it because I didn't want you guys to give up hope of me updating.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. :)
