Hi,

I know it's been a long time, but I was kind of blocked and also busy with some other stories :)

I hope it was worth the wait.

Enjoy!

R&R

Chapter 29: Honey Moon

"Where are we going?" asked Cassie. "Wait and see," answered Elijah.

They were on a privet yacht, sailing for couple of days. They didn't have workers, the yacht sailed on automat.

She gave him a smile and lied down on the deck, wearing her purple swimsuit. She was on her stomach closing her eyes in the warm sun.

Elijah was wearing a short white pants and blue T-shirt.

On the deck was a swimming pool. Elijah pushed Cassie quickly in.

She screamed, surprised.

Elijah chuckled and Cassie splashed the water at him.

"Are you joining me, Mr. Mikaelson?" asked Cassie, grinning.

"Absolutely, Mrs. Mikaelson," said Elijah.

He took off his shirt and jump in to the water.

Cassie giggled as Elijah started to splash water at her, splashing at him too.

Elijah pulled her to him, his hands resting on her waist.

"Hi," she said softly, smoothing his wet hair with her hand. "Hi," he smiled, and kissed her lips softly. Cassie deepened the kiss, her tongue got in his mouth, entwining with his. Elijah pulled her closer, warping his arms around her.

Cassie pulled away a little bit, breathing hard. Elijah trailed kisses along her shoulder, pulling down her swimming suit in the process. Cassie sighed and pulled his lips back to hers.

They made love in the water, under the sun in the middle of the ocean.


The sun was setting; Elijah and Cassie were cuddled on a deckchair, warped in a blanket.

Cassie was looking at the sky. It was a mix of colors, pinks and oranges on the bright blue.

"Are you happy?" asked Elijah.

"The happiest woman in the world, are you?"

"Yes, as long as I have you," he whispered, kissing her temple and hugging her tighter.


When Cassie woke up, she was surprised to find herself alone.

"Elijah?" she asked, getting down the stairs in to their cabinet and bedroom.

"You are up, good," he smiled.

"I didn't even notice that I fell asleep, why are you dressed like that?" asked Cassie, noticing his dark suit and shiny Italian shoes.

"Because we have a reservation in a restaurant," said Elijah.

"Where?" asked Cassie.

"Get dress and you will find out," said Elijah in a smile.

Cassie nodded and hoped in to the shower.


After drying her hair, curling it a little and putting on a long wavy blue dress, all that was left was makeup and shoes.

"Ready?" called Elijah as she got on the deck.

"Yes," she replied.

"Welcome to Rome," said Elijah as he helped her to get on the dock.

Cassie smiled brightly, looking at the city that lied in front of her.

"Come on, my dear," said Elijah reaching out with his hand to her. She took his hand and walked with him until he stopped a taxi.

"Il Con-viv-io di Tro-ia-nai," said Elijah to the driver. Cassie giggled. "Il Convivio di Troianai," said Cassie properly. Elijah pouted. She kissed his lips softly. The driver smiled and took off.


They rode quietly, enjoying the sights of Rome at night.

They got to the restaurant, and after Elijah paid to the driver they got inside.

The host sat them down in a table close to the front glass wall. The table was covered with white tablecloth. On the table were candles, wine glasses and beautiful plates.

Elijah pulled her chair for her (bright armchair) and then went to sit across from her.

A waiter came with menus and started to talk in Italian.

Cassie held her laugher looking at the confused face of Elijah.

He knew Italian, but not so fluently, and he didn't use the language in a very long time.

Cassie asked the waiter to give them some time to think what to order and he nodded and left.

Cassie burst out laughing.

"Don't be mean," asked Elijah.

"You are so cute," she said, kissing his lips.

He wrinkled his nose, looking at the menu.

"Afff, just choose something, my Italian is awful," sighed Elijah.

Cassie giggled.

She called the waiter, and ordered two dishes of lamb chops with vegetables, bottle of red wine, and chocolate cake with fruits and ice-cream for dessert.


"Is it good?" asked Elijah after the waiter took their menus and left to bring their food.

She laughed. "Don't you trust your wife?"

"I trust my wife," he grinned.

She giggled.

The waiter brought their dishes and the bottle of wine.

For a while they just ate.


After finishing their dinner and paying, Cassie and Elijah went for a walk.

"What time is it?" asked Cassie.

Elijah checked his watch. "Midnight. We can keep walking- see the city at night, or go to the hotel," said Elijah.

"And our stuff?" asked Cassie.

"I called the hotel and paid them some money to send workers to take our stuff to our room," said Elijah.

"When did you do that?" asked Cassie surprised.

"When you fell asleep. So, a walk or the hotel?" asked Elijah.

"Hotel. I can't walk with those shoes anymore," said Cassie.

Elijah chuckled.

"It's not funny! My feet really hurt," she pouted.

Elijah swiped her in to his arms.

Cassie couldn't stop laughing.

Elijah kissed her lips.

They walked like this to the hotel that was a few streets away.


After taking the key for their room, they went up in the elevator to the newlywed suite.

Elijah carried Cassie trough the threshold.

She giggled as he set her down.

Cassie kicked her shoes aside and ran to the huge window.

"What a view!" she called exited.

Elijah warped his arms around her from behind.

"I love you," said Elijah, kissing her cheek.

"I love you too," she answered, stroking his hair.

They went in to one of the bedrooms, their cloths falling to the floor as they are doing their way to the bed.


Cassie woke up the next morning to an empty bed.

She stretched, and put on Elijah's shirt from the night before. After washing her face and teeth Cassie walked out of the bedroom and in to the living room.

She looked around for the first time.

There were black leather sofas, dark wood coffee table and LCD T.V. in the middle of the room.

A chandelier hanged from the ceiling, minibar was in the corner of the room, and two glass doors that led to a balcony. In the balcony was a small round table and two chairs, in one of the chairs sat Elijah, reading an English addition to the newspaper.


"Morning love," said Cassie, and kissed Elijah's lips.

"Good morning, breakfast is on its way up," said Elijah, smiling.

"Great, how did you slept?" she asked.

"Peacefully, you?" asked Elijah.

"Yeah, me too," she grinned.

Elijah looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What? I am happy," said Cassie.

"I can see that," he chuckled.

A knock on the door stop their conversation.


A worker of the hotel brought their breakfast.

They had toasts, eggs, coffee, cheese, jam, vegetables, fruits and chocolates.

"What our plans for today?" asked Cassie, sipping from her coffee.

"Whatever you want," said Elijah.

"Swimming pool and bed?" suggested Cassie.

Elijah's eyes sparkled with desire.

"Absolutely," said Elijah.

Cassie giggled.


After finishing their breakfast and changing in to swimsuits, they took towels and went down in to the hotel's pool.

Elijah watched Cassie in a pink bikini, swimming like a dolphin.

"Aren't you coming in?" asked Cassie from the pool.

He smirked and jumped in to the pool, splashing water everywhere.

Cassie laughed and kissed his lips.

They swam, kissed and played in the water.

Eventually, they lied on two deckchairs, bathing in the sun.


"I saw a ball flyer in the lobby, what do you think?" asked Cassie.

"Sounds good, where is it?" asked Elijah.

"In the hotel's ballroom, tonight," said Cassie.

"Why not? It will be great," said Elijah in a smile.

"Cool, I need to go to shop for a dress," said Cassie.

"Mmm… you said you will never take me with you to buy a dress," stated Elijah.

"I am going to give you another chance," she smiled.

He chuckled.

They went upstairs to take a shower and get dressed before heading out to shop for the perfect dress.


"You are starting again?" she sighed.

It was her fourth dress that he declined.

He pouted at her and she giggled before kissing his lips and going to find another dress.

After three more dresses they found the one.

It was a strapless silver dress that was tight until her waist and then flowed down with long spiral motion to the floor.

"Well? How do I look?"

"Perfect," he whispered.

She kissed his lips.

After paying for the dress and matching high heel shoes, they went back to the hotel.

They made love for what seem to Cassie an eternity and fell in to a peaceful sleep.


When Cassie woke up she was alone in bed.

She found a little note on Elijah's pillow.

Sweetheart,

I went to buy something.

I will be back right on time for the ball.

Rest well and get ready.

Love,

Elijah.

Cassie read the note and sighed.

She had a lot of time so she went to take a shower.


Cassie was ready. She was in her dress, her hair was up, her heels on her feet and her makeup all ready and perfect.

She was waiting for Elijah.

Cassie just came out from the bedroom and in to the living room when Elijah came in, wearing a tux, and froze.

"Hi," she smiled at him.

"Hello. Is it bad that I want to take this dress off of you and take you to bed?"

She giggled.

He smiled and cleared his throat.

"I have something for you,"

He pulled out a square flat velvet box.

Cassie got closer and open the box.

Inside was a perfect silver and diamonds neckless.

"It's beautiful… thank you," she whispered.

He stood behind her and clasped the neckless on her neck.

Cassie shivered to his light touch.

He kissed her shoulder, making her sighed.

"We should go downstairs, to the ball room,"

"Hmm," he hummed and kissed her shoulder again.

She closed her eyes.

"Elijah."

"Alright," he sighed and they went together to the elevator and down to the ball room.
