Chapter 20
It was 6:50 as Caroline finished off her hair in its half up half downs style that she'd worn for the Miss Mystic Falls pageant.
Bonnie was putting the finishing touches to her make-up, they'd made her eyes stand out even more with dark eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner. Her lips were just a little bit of gloss.
"Okay dress time" smiles Caroline.
Elena had settled on a black lace dress that fell to just above her knees, it hugged all her curves and had a cut out in the back, she paired it with a black bolero and black sling backs.
"You look stunning Elena" smiles Bonnie.
"You really do, Elijah is not going to know what hit him" smiles Caroline happily.
She walks downstairs where Alaric is talking to Elijah.
Elijah stops talking as he sees her.
"Hi" she smiles.
"You look absolutely stunning" smiles Elijah taking her hand and kissing it.
"You do look lovely Elena, have fun" smiles Alaric.
She turns to her friends who mouth details to her and she nods.
They walk out the door and a town car is sat outside.
"So this is what a date with Elijah Mikaelson looks like" smiles Elena as they get into the back.
"As I said, I have mastered the art" he smiles as the car pulls off.
"So where are we going?" asks Elena.
"Dinner" replies Elijah.
"Classy I like it" she smiles.
"Only the best lovely Elena" says Elijah.
It takes about forty five minutes of driving when they stop outside a stunning restaurant.
Elena looks up at it, stunned.
"It's, I don't even know what to say" she says.
"I believe the term you're looking for is OMG" smiles Elijah.
Elena laughs, "Yes I think it is, how you said that dead pan is still beyond me" she says.
"I have marvellous control" he replies as they walk inside.
She looked so stunning it was testing that marvellous control of his, no one had ever affected him like this, not even Tatia or Katerina at their most alluring and Elena wasn't even trying.
"Reservation under Mikaelson" says Elijah.
"Of course right this way" smiles the man as he leads them to their table and hands them the menu.
"What would you like to drink?" he asks.
"I'm totally out of my depth here" says Elena.
"Houses choice" smiles Elijah.
"Very good sir" he nods and walks off.
"Literal OMG moment right now, I feel like I'm in Pretty Woman right now, but you're much better looking" smiles Elena.
"And that would be?" he asks.
Elena explains the plot of the movie and Elijah laughs as the waiter takes their order.
"Do you really think Sage will be able to give Finn enough reason to stop helping your mother?" asks Elena.
"I hope so, if so then our family may yet be whole again, and I would like nothing more" smiles Elijah taking her hands.
"A toast" says Elena lifting up her glass.
"To family" says Elijah.
"To family, even if they are not all present" she says.
"You know you could bring him back, he's not in danger anymore Elena" says Elijah.
"He's happy I can't bring him back for selfish reasons, it wouldn't be right or fair of me, he might come and visit but he's better off where he is, safe and sound in Denver" replies Elena.
"Well you have me and the rest of my family, and your friends, we will never leave you" promises Elijah.
"I know, and I won't leave you, ever" she says.
Elijah contemplates her statement, in order for her to not leave him, then she'd have to be a vampire, perhaps she really was coming around to the idea, the thought of being without her made him physically ill.
They spent the rest of the night talking about everything and nothing as they learnt everything they could about each other.
Favourite music, classical for Elijah, whatever fitted her mood for Elena. Their favourite books; Pride and Prejudice for Elena, and Dracula for Elijah.
"Really?" she asks.
"Its an entertaining read, besides I knew the author, I believe Niklaus encountered Bram Stoker as well" smiles Elijah.
"Was he the inspiration?" she asked.
"Not quite but I do believe that he did influence" affirms Elijah.
"Not surprising there" chuckles Elena.
As they wrapped up their dessert Elijah pulled out a box.
"What's this?" she asks.
"Well since your other necklace was commandeered by my sister, I thought perhaps a new one was in order" he smiles.
She opens it and finds a small silver locket with an E embossed onto it.
"Elijah it's beautiful" she gasps taking it out of the box.
"Nothing compared to you" he smiles.
"Can you put it on for me?" she asks.
He stands up and walks around; she sweeps her hair to the side as he fastens it.
Sitting back down he smiles at her.
"Does it stand for Elena or Elijah?" she asks.
"Both" he smiles.
"I love it, thank you" she smiles looking at it, something about I just felt right against her neck.
"It also has vervain inside it, so it will protect you" he smiles.
"You think of everything" she says.
"Ready to retire, it is nearly ten" he smiles standing up.
"Yes" she smiles.
He pays leaving a generous tip and then escorts her back into the town car.
"Thank you Elijah, tonight was absolutely magical, if you didn't already you'd have me after that" she smiles.
"Good, but I'm glad I already do" he smiles and kisses her.
It was mean to be gentle and sweet but the fire that was always between them ignited.
He pulls her onto his lap so she was straddling him her dress riding up even more as his hands slide up thighs.
She loosens his tie before her hand moves up and wrap around his shoulders.
His hands slide up her back, one resting on the small of her back anchoring her against him, the other tangles in her hair as their tongues battle for dominance.
The only thing that stopped them going any further was the driver.
As soon as they pulled to a stop Elijah picked her up and flashed up to his room, slamming the door shut as he presses her against it without breaking their kiss.
She pushes his jacket off of his shoulders and throws his tie aside, she starts undoing his shirt but her task is made more difficult by his inability to stop kissed her.
Finally getting frustrated she just rips it open and throws it aside.
He pulls the zipper of her dress down and lets it slide to the floor.
They throw off the rest of their clothes and fall onto the bed losing themselves in each other for the rest of the night.
