Anyways On With the chapter
Chapter 14
Caroline hated this kind of silence, the one filled with unsaid words, unprofessed feelings or opinions, the one that had everyone looking at everyone for any sign of conversation at all.
She knew she liked Klaus…Nik.
It was weird saying it to herself but she was sure that it would sound even more weird saying it out loud, she would not do it though, he had basically beg her to call him Nik and she honestly thought about it, but decided against it, especially now, Kol was not here, neither was Bonnie, she decided to tell us while she was getting ready in the dress that Kol bought for her of course about him asking her out.
To be completely honest Caroline was more shocked than she let on, he came to her like a scared puppy afraid that its master would not love him and he had managed to swallow his fear and ask her out like a man, not that he would act like one, Kol acting like a man was a rare sight to behold, she has yet to see it to be completely honest because all the times she has seen him, he has acted like a teenager and she had to keep reminding herself that he was a thousand year old vampire just like Elijah and Klaus but they act like it, sometimes.
The relationship between her and Rebekah however was a matter completely by itself, she was barely here sometimes, it was as if she was hiding something, or someone, Caroline would have to use the girl code on her to find out what but for now, she would have to endure this silent awkward which consisted of well cooked meal with included salmon, no surprise there since they are living near the beach and sat among Klaus, Elijah, Elena and Rebekah.
Elijah and Elena kept having eye sex with one another and Caroline was annoyed by it, it was as if they wanted to but someone was telling them no or something, it was kind of annoying considering they are both grown men and women, excluding the fact that one of them was a thousand plus years older but she knew what she meant. Elena's shy smiles to him and Elijah's small smirks were more than obvious to the table but what this table really lacked was Kol.
He would break the obvious tension and then turn this dinner into a dagger threat movie in which Elijah was the star of. Sometime Caroline wished he would just lighten up, wear something that probably isn't custom made of doesn't match but she knew by now that asking Elijah to wear normal clothing was like asking Elijah to eradicate an entire migrant village so she would probably leave that task to Elena, all she had to do was flash him the perfect innocent smile and maybe sway a little or she could ask nicely, that had always seemed to work for him she thought.
Then there was Klaus, who had too many emotions showing all at once that made Caroline tired just trying to figure them out. He looked offended, by what she didn't really know, he looked amused, probably from the obvious tension in the room and he almost looked upset, again for a reason she was not sure of. They flashed through his face as quickly as they came, as Caroline tried with everything she had to figure him out, because he was not one for words.
Klaus had other things on his mind, not just from the obvious tension in the room and the odd feeling of something missing but because he was seriously thinking of kidnapping Caroline and bring her to England he could compel her to stay with him, try, it was a plan he was honestly thinking of doing, the minute her friends were not in her constant view he would grab her and run.
Alright he was kidding himself, she would hate him for taking her like that, and she might seriously completely hate him forever if he compelled her but that would only mean that he had to deal with the rejection he knew all too well. His family was close to ending their visit to Miami and they were heading back to the country they all loved, England. He knew he was asking her to trust him of all people but it would still be worth a shot, maybe she might surprise him he thought. If she had to bring her friends, he didn't care, they would be occupied with his siblings, Bonnie and Kol, Elijah and Elena but Rebekah however would almost be by herself even in a house filled with her family and people she probably considered as friends.
His mind then drifted back to the kiss they shared in room behind them.
Sure he was drunk and technically was not held for his actions but kissing her was an action he definitely held himself responsible for, he meant to kiss her, he wanted to kiss her for years, and he finally did, her lips tasted sweeter than he imagined, with a hint of vodka, which lead him to believe that she definitely was not drunk, he was a bit saddened by that but shrugged it off. What he did not expect from the kiss was the fact that she kissed him back. He shocked her but he was not going to question her motives at all. However he was a bit angry that she used Rebekah as a distraction to escape. She probably regretted what she did he thought, that's why she ran he concluded.
He was sort of glad though, she did not pull away, or even show any signs of pulling away, which brought him to the conclusion that she wanted to kiss him as much as he wanted to kiss her. With that in mind he smirked, feeling that his efforts to court her were not all for nothing and he had probably gotten under her skin.
He had a new plan though, at first his ordinary plan was to find a way to woo her into giving herself to him but that's not what he wanted, no he wanted more, suddenly he just wants her, in every sense of the word, her kindness, her honesty, her loyalty, her smile, her comfort, her body and even dare he say it… he wanted her love.
For someone who steals the love letters of his victims all to understand love, he just does not know how to. He can't dagger her, he can't force her into doing things or going anywhere with him and that's how he would show his love towards his family, by keeping them safe in boxes like windup toys so that he can be safe. He doubts that his siblings love him, Rebekah maybe, but Elijah hardly shows emotion, Kol acts like a child all the time and the only one who could express their feelings for him was always Rebekah. He'd blame it on her female hormones, although he doubt she had any more of those in her but Rebekah loves recklessly and blindly just like Henrik use to.
He knew that men were perfectly capable of expressing their feelings; he has seen it, with Stefan, Stefan's love for this one girl was so strong that he was able to resist compulsion and that was the love he wanted, the love he craved, the love he yearned, and he knew, he just knew, he didn't have to question her, he didn't have to dig into her past, from the glisten in her eyes, from her smile that graced her features elegantly he just knew, it was one of those gut feelings, that she could be able to give him such love and he in return may be able to return it.
Was he in love with her? He knew he was far from fancying her the minute he left Mystic falls and now these feelings he once had for her only increased to a point of insanity. This morning he swore he saw her in her bedroom and that was when he knew he was crazy.
Now he was just frustrated, not by his conflicted feelings towards the stunning blonde or his sudden sister's silence, but the doppelganger and his brother keep glancing at each other and it annoyed the hell out of him right now. He wanted to start to pull his hair out trying to figure out his brother. He swore he knew Elijah for over a thousand years yet trying to read what he was thinking or feeling was like a blind man trying to watch TV.
Rebekah hated the way he was just glancing at Elena like that and not saying anything, Rebekah knew she had interrupted them that day and since then it was as if they were avoiding one another, Elijah was always one to be upfront with his intentions, so why was he being…shy? Like a teenage boy he was acting like.
Maybe it was the things that she told him that afternoon that made him act the way he acted.
Two days earlier….
Rebekah had told Elijah to meet her in the back on the beach where they would run far enough where no one would hear. She could not risk Elena finding out about her and Stefan; she wanted to ask Elijah for advice because she was starting to feel guilty about being with him without Elena knowing about it.
He had met her where she told him and they ran far away from the house. Then they took their time and walked along the shore.
"What is it you want to tell me that could not be heard among our guest?" Elijah asked finally, breaking the silence.
"I know this is going to sound odd coming from me, but I want your advice" Rebekah replied cryptically.
"Go on" he urged.
"I'm… I…I've been with Stefan Salvatore for over a year now" she hesitated and looked to his direction for any signs of disapproval.
He froze in his place at the words; Rebekah paused as well, looking at him for any signs because she sometimes swore he had no emotion whatsoever.
He turned towards her and smirked "When did that happen?"
"When we were in New York, he was there as well and we kind of…sort of…" she looked at him, hoping he would stop her realizing what she was about to say but all she saw was that irritating smirk across his face.
"I will not give you the satisfaction of discussing the details Elijah so wipe that amused look off your face and hear me out" Rebekah stated firmly.
Elijah chuckled and continued his movements. Rebekah followed and continued.
"Elena and I have made amends and now I find myself oddly feeling…" she trailed off.
"You feel guilty sneaking around with Stefan behind her back" he stated as more of a fact that a realization.
She nodded.
"Then tell her Rebekah, I'm sure she would not mind" he urged, adding the word 'hope' in his mind.
"This coming from the brother who shamelessly walked out of her bedroom this morning" Rebekah mused, looking at him up and down before continuing "Fully clothed"
She smirked when she saw him tense at the words.
He turned to her "Sister I will not give you the satisfaction of having this discussion with you so wipe that smirk off your face" he smirked.
"Trust me Elijah I do not want to know anything you and Elena were doing in that bedroom" she clarified and smirked "I could kiss Bonnie for spelling those rooms from sensitive ears" she mused.
She noticed that he had flinched and she used that to flash away before he had any chance to make a move. He chuckled at her and continued his walk, thinking of the beautiful Elena Gilbert.
She knew by the sight that day that nothing had happen between them, his shirt was tucked in, some part of her wished that he did get some, sometimes she wondered if he had any lady companion since Tatia, or was he still a virgin. She could probably ask Nik, she already snuck into his room this morning and stole all of his daggers and the white oak ash and hid it so he can't threaten to dagger her.
"God you too are annoying my brain" Caroline groaned, massaging her temple in sarcasm.
"I agree" Rebekah agreed; looking at Elijah and Elena's now confused looks.
"Is there something wrong?" Elena asked innocently, as she was clueless as to what or who they were referring to.
"Ugh, I hate that Kol is not here to just enjoy the moment right now" Caroline mused excitedly.
"He would take advantage of it because I took all of the daggers from Nik's room and hid them along with the white oak ash" Rebekah remarked nonchalantly.
Klaus tensed at the words and his once amused look now turned into anger.
"Nik calm down, you'll give yourself a headache; you'll have your precious daggers back so that you can threaten one of us with it when you wish to end the conversation with one of us, but not tonight," Rebekah smiled at his fuming state.
"I want to have fun as well" Rebekah exclaimed excitedly.
Elena narrowed her sight at Rebekah knowing exactly who she was referring to.
"Why do I get the feeling that your attention is focused on us?" Elena asked cautiously.
"Not the both of you…just my dear brother, there was a question that have popped in my mind from time to time over the centuries and I was kind of afraid to ask" Rebekah rubbed her hands together in excitement.
"Bekah" Elijah warned.
"Nik" she turned to Klaus "You been with Elijah for the most of a thousand years, is he a virgin or has he been celibate since he was human?" Rebekah asked trying as hard as she can to hide her smile.
Caroline burst out in giggles and avoided Elijah's cold hard stare. Elena's entire body froze in its place and her eyes just looked up to Elijah who was now frozen solid with a cold hard look on his face.
She hold up a hand at Elijah "Please, let me just soak the question in for a while, it caught me off guard just give me a minute" her laughter had calm down and Klaus made a mental note to make her laugh like that again, it was a glorious sound.
"Elijah is neither a virgin nor has he been celibate for the past thousand years, he's a nobleman Bekah, not a monk" Klaus replied with the biggest smirk on his face.
"I know I was just curious, I have never seen him with a woman so I had to ask and when a thousand years have passed, I got worried about him" Rebekah smiled at Elijah before turning towards Caroline's direction.
"In the 19 century I seriously thought of compelling some girls into his bedroom butt naked just to give him a head start" Rebekah informed them, causing Elena to choke on her wine and hold her laughter.
"Rebekah…" Elijah warned.
"Don't worry, I couldn't anyways, his room was locked and if I broke into his room he'd only assume the worst and scare the poor things" Rebekah defended herself.
"I was a little curious as to why all those girls were followed you that night in New Orleans" Klaus mused with a grin.
"Can we discuss something less…sensitive please?" Elena asked with a num look on her face, she was beginning to oddly feel uncomfortable talking about Elijah's sex life in the past thousand years, although it did have her wondering what they were up to all those years, even what he was doing before he heard of the doppelganger was a question she caught herself asking.
"For example" Elijah started, and turn to Rebekah "Is there anything you would like to share with the class" he smirked and leaned forward against the table and looked directly at Rebekah who was now shocked.
"Would you look at that, he calls himself honorable yet he's blackmailing his sister, shame on you Elijah" Rebekah exclaimed sarcastically.
Elijah smirked and leaned forward to the table more and looked straight at Rebekah "Will you say, or shall I?"
Rebekah looked at him for any signs of him bluffing, but found none, Elijah always make good on his word she thought, she looked at Elena who was also a little intrigue with their conversation, she would ease into it, not just blurt it out like a mad woman.
"Elena, what if I told you I was with one of the Salvatore brothers?" she smirked, avoiding Elena's eyes, but starring right at Elijah.
Elena froze, she remembers hearing Stefan's name a two nights ago but the memory was a bit foggy from the intoxicating scent of Elijah's skin.
"Elena?"
Elena snapped out of her thoughts and returned to the table where everyone was starring at her.
"Sorry, I was just trying to remember something, I swore I heard someone mention Stefan and Damon two nights ago and then I told someone to go to hell" she remembered.
Caroline smirked "Damon called me at 3am asking for Stefan, he asked me to ask you for him so I woke you and you grabbed the phone and told Damon to go to hell and asked him to tell Stefan to go to hell" Caroline explained with a smile on her face "Memory coming back now?"
"Right, my head was a little fuzzy" Elena smirked and turned to Rebekah "It depends on which one, I'd rather not see Damon for a few years" Elena mused.
Rebekah smirked "It's a good thing it's not Damon then"
"I don't mind at all Rebekah, I will admit that it will be a bit weird… but my life got weird when Damon came to town" Elena huffed out the last part.
Elijah was a little shocked by her response but hid it under a smirk, Elena did not miss it.
Things were going well for Kol and Bonnie, Kol took her to a sunset dinner at the W Hotel and it was absolutely beautiful; not just the sunset, but the hotel and the restaurant itself, Kol had compelled the owner for private tables and while she was against compulsion, if for some reason they brought up anything, vampire or witch or original related, she would not want someone else listening and they ate like civilized people which strike Bonnie as a bit weird but she figured that he was trying hard and no one has ever tried so hard for her before, not even Jeremy. She liked it.
He then took her to the Fairchild Tropical garden and Bonnie was completely amazed at the scene.
The Stone pillar pathway was beautiful, she felt the a giant wave of energy flowing into her as she walked through the gardens, it was like the dark magic, but stronger, and more powerful and it felt so good, she had all this energy and all this power flowing through her and she felt like herself again, when she was using nature to draw power, she felt normal, in her own way.
They then took a seat on a bench that stood in an open space where there were giant pumpkins in front of them, they did not look real but they were beautiful nonetheless.
They stayed silent for a while until Bonnie honestly wanted to know why Kol took her here.
"Why did you bring me here?" Bonnie asked, enjoying the cool breeze that seemed to send more energy flowing into her.
"Dark magic took over my mother" he stated.
Bonnie looked at him, urging him to continue
"Ayana told her that she needs to stay in touch with nature in order to control the dark magic that flows in her. She didn't listen to her and she allowed anger and pain to fuel her magic and as a result, she turned on us" he continued.
"I brought you here because this garden has some of the most exotic flowers known to man, you can tap into the dark magic and the nature around you and form a balance" he explained and turned to face her.
"How do you know so much about witches?"
He smirked "I use to run with some witches; Africa in the 14th century, Haiti in the 17th century, New Orleans in the 19th Century, apart from that, my mother was a witch and I use to help her with her spells; always babbling about keeping the balance of nature" he replied with annoyance "I actually hold witches in high esteem" he added and smiled at her.
"That's why you like me, because I'm a witch?"
He smirked "No, I like you because you're beautiful, strong, brave, courageous, rare; one of a kind" he simply replied "Putting aside the fact that I risk a giant headache every time I'm around you" they both chuckled at his joke "It's completely worth it"
She smiled at him
They sat there in a comfortable silence then Bonnie decided to try to balance the dark magic and the good magic and create thunderclouds.
She harnesses the energy around her before she dug inside herself for the dark magic.
Kol could tell by the sudden wind that Bonnie was doing something, he turned towards her and his suspicions were right, she had her eyes shut close.
She could feel both energies merging together and she chanted the spell she needed, she didn't feel like she once felt when she brought back Jeremy from the dead, the great surge of energy that flowed through her, no she felt, peaceful, like herself, only stronger, more powerful, more in control.
Kol didn't even get scared like the last time she tried to change the weather, the last time she had an evil smile on her face which made him realize that the darkness had took over her magic and he got scared for her but now she looks like she's in control.
That's when the clouds started to form and come together into dark grey bundles and before he knew it lightening strike through them. It was frightening and thrilling and beautiful all at once, when you add the wind that made tiny little twisters on the grass as they danced with each other ceremoniously he chuckled at them.
Soon the clouds slowly disappeared and the small children like twisters danced away into the night and the moon shined brightly against her face, lighting up her mesmerizing green eyes and the gloss of her luscious lips.
She pulled out her phone from her clutch bag to realize that it's half past 12.
"Oh my god, it's past midnight" she gasped with a smile.
He smirked.
"We better get home then"
He sat up and offered his hand to help her to stand up even though she could stand up on her own, she took it anyways, and she loved the gentlemen like qualities in him.
The ride back was quiet, it was a good quiet, he stole glances at her, she stole glances at him, she may looked normal on the outside but she was screaming at herself for hating him first to begin with. Then again, she didn't really hate him, he was just annoying and immature, but sometimes he can be mature and fun to hang out with.
Kol felt like the night went very well, he only ate at the hotel so that she wouldn't notice him starring at her as the sun's bright light struck her face in the right angle. He then took her to the garden at night mostly to avoid all the annoying humans and giggling and laughter and just have a peaceful night with her, all he had to do was persuade the guards to let him in and forget about him and he was golden. He actually liked talking to her, she didn't judge him, she didn't call him a blood sucking womanizer as she did when he first saw her at the hotel; he chuckled at the memory.
They came home ten minutes after one and went upstairs. Kol said goodnight to Bonnie and she returned the greeting before disappearing into her room. He then went to his room and rid himself of his suit and changed into a long pajama pants and a t-shirt.
It was now two am in the morning and Kol literally could not sleep, memories of the night replayed in his head like a broken record, making him constantly smile to himself as he lay on his bed facing the ceiling.
Suddenly he heard a light knock on his door; he wondered who could be up at this hour and knocking at his door he thought. He was up and at the door in a flash and was completely shocked at the sight before him as he opened the door.
Bonnie was there with a small smile to her face wearing what he could only assume was only a large black t-shirt. It left very little to the imagination and he tried to keep his mind in check, at least for a while.
She tip toed to his height and gently placed a soft light kiss on his lips, he was too shocked to even kiss her back, and he was completely frozen in place at the door.
"I had a really great time tonight, thank you" was all she said, very gently and walked back to her open door and went inside.
I really wish you guys would tell me what you think?
You hate the date, you hate the fact that I brought up Elijah's sex life, I mean it came to me in a daydream, seriously.
I think that Elena would not be mad at Rebekah for being with Stefan, besides, she has the hots for Elijah, she has no say in Stebekah :3
