Chapter 21

The next morning Elijah wakes up to find an empty bed.

"Elena" he calls sitting up.

"I'm here" she smiles walking out of the bathroom in one of his shirts and her underwear which he hadn't taken much time to appreciate the night before, but he couldn't stop staring at her as she threw herself onto the bed next to him.

"Thought you'd left" he said letting the back of his hand run down her cheek.

"No, I don't have to be at school for oh twenty minutes or so" she smiles pretending to look at a watch.

Cupping her face he kisses her again, it was slow and sensual, now their fire was satiated for the time being they explored each other with a slow reverence.

As Elena got up and got dressed Elijah was content to just watch her with a smile.

"What?" she asks.
"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" he smiles.

"That would probably mean more if I knew for a fact you hadn't seen two other identical versions of me, but thank you" she replies turning to the mirror and trying to tame her hair.

"It's a good thing Caroline was smart enough to send me with spare clothes" says Elena.

"Yes I do not cease to marvel at that girl and her planning skills, was she this bad as a human?" he asks.

"Oh yes, trust me, it's why she's so good at being a vampire, she's a control freak and now its just manifested even more" shrugs Elena as she gives up on her hair.

"Great, I have Katherine hair" sighs Elena.

Elijah gets out of bed and walks over to her.

"Elena, you look lovely, regardless of how your hair is, and believe me you could not be less Katherine" he assures her as he wraps his arms around her middle and brushes her hair to the side.

"Promise?" she asks.

"Promise" he smiles.

"I'm still putting it up" she says as she rolls it into a bun.

"Satisfied?" he asks once she was done.

"Yes, now I need to go or I'm going to be late" smiles Elena.

"Do you have too?" he asks.

"Yes Elijah" she replies.

"I'm sure I can convince you to stay" he smirks as he starts to kiss her neck.

Her head drops to the side to give him better access.

"This is playing dirty" she says her eyes fluttering closed.

"I know" he whispers.

"No Elijah school, I need to go" she says as she steps out of his arms and turns to face him.

"Very well" he sighs and flashes away returning a few seconds later in his usual three piece suit.

"And I am driving you or you'll be even later" he says.

"Alright, Ric is bringing my bag from the house so it's all good there" she says.

They walk downstairs and are greeted by Kol.

"Well, well walk of shame is it?" he asks.

"No I'm taking Elena to school" replies Elijah.

"Uh huh, I heard what went on last night, in fact I almost got knocked over by you as you burst through the door, I'll see you in school Elena" smiles Kol as he walks past.

"Ass" mutters Elena.

Elijah drives her to school and she arrives just as first lesson begins which happens to be history.

She walks in and takes her bag from Alaric before sitting down next to Caroline who smiles at her and gives her a look that says she knows exactly what she'd been doing.

As the lesson finished she was cornered by Caroline and Bonnie.

"So how was it, was I right?" demands Caroline.

"It was the most amazing thing ever, the entire evening was, the date was beautiful and he got me this" smiles Elena showing them the necklace.

"It's totally gorgeous, but seriously Elena the important part, the sex spill it now" orders Caroline.

"Indescribable" replies Elena with a smile.

"Well try" says Bonnie.

"It was like we were completely in sync, like we were made for each other, it was perfect and yes Care he definitely knows what he's doing, I have never felt that good ever" smiles Elena.

"I knew it, I called it" smiles Caroline.

"So what now?" asks Bonnie.

"Well now I guess we keep going, I love him guys I really do, he is just, perfect" she sighs happily.

"Oh I am so happy for you" giggles Caroline and Bonnie hugs her.

Elena spends the rest of the day in absolute bliss and she just can't stop smiling.

As she walks out of school she finds Elijah stood leaning against his car with a smile.

She walks over and he pulls her in for a kiss.

"Staking a claim much" she smiles as he pulls back.

"I still like to make it very clear what is mine" replies Elijah.
"And here I thought only Klaus had an alpha male complex, I see it runs in the family" smirks Elena.

"Are you complaining?" he asks as he kisses her again.

"Mmm, not in the slightest" she smiles.

"Klaus and Rebekah are returning, seems they've found Finn, would you care to join us?" asks Elijah.

"I would" she smiles as she gets into the car.

"So how was your day?" he asks.

"Good, really good" smiles Elena.

He takes her hand in his as they drive.

As they arrive at the house Elijah flashes around and opens the door for her like a gentleman and helps her out.

"Ready to see if we can convince my brother to stop trying to kill us all?" asks Elijah.

"As I'll ever be" nods Elena.
