"Yeah. I got that. I got it the other ten times you said it as well". Roman responded as he watched her casually from the couch. Elena stopped and turned to Roman, slightly annoyed at him for his relaxed demeanor, she huffed at him.
"Oh that's right you're a guy. I should have suspected".
"Woah!". Roman interrupted before Elena could finish, he quickly got up to his feet. "It has nothin to do with that...I'm just not surprised. I've known Rebekah for a long time and she's been like this ever since I met her, she's never kept her attraction to people a secret, never mattered to her what your biology was".
Elena sighed, "And that's fine, it's not like I'm judging. It's just, she just did it, without any warning, I mean who does that".
Roman's eyebrows went to his hairline, "Well I don't exactly recall giving you written consent".
Elena's eyes widened a bit, her mouth opened and closed a few times before she sighed, defeated she walked over and plopped on the couch, "I hate new problems. Like I need them".
Roman lightly chuckled, amused by her pout, he sat by her on the couch, "Yeah, but if you want this one solved, you're gonna have to talk to her".
Elena nodded, they sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes before Elena's forehead creased, she looked around and noticed the silence, "Actually where is Rebekah?...Where is anybody?".
"Well", Roamn answered, "Klaus and Elijah had to head to New Orleans, wouldn't say why, but Rebekah ,Stefan and Bonnie are all out at the beach, they wanted to let some steam off".
"Oh". Elena said nonchalantly.
"You wanna go join them, could be fun". Roman asked in earnest.
Elena seemed to actually think about it for a minute, "Well ironically out of all the clothes you bought me, you didn't get me a swimsuit".
Roman smiled mischievously, "Well that's because it's a nude beach".
Elena scoffed and slapped Roman's shoulder, "Yeah sure, when pigs fly!".
Roman stopped smiling and got a gleam in his eye at Elena's words, "Oh yeah I haven't shown you that yet have I?".
"Shown me what?". Elena asked in wonder. Roman got up, giddy as a two year old. "Follow me". He said, then he turned to walk out the front door. Elena's forehead creased in confusion, but she got up and followed Roman out. When Elena got out to the driveway she noticed that Roman had disappeared, she looked left and right trying to spot him, but he was nowhere in sight.
"Where?". Elena uttered to herself, but she was cut off suddenly by a pair of arms wrapping around her waist and lifting her into the air and what felt like a million miles an hour. When Elena stopped, she had her eyes closed and she was breathing a bit heavy, the sudden lift was a bit of a shock. When Elena opened her eyes she noticed in front of her nothing but sky and clouds, feeling perplexed, she tilted her head to the side, then looked down. That's when Elena noticed that she was hovering far above the ground, she gasped in shock.
"Don't worry! I got you".
Elena had almost forgotten about the pair of arms holding her by the waist, she reached back on to Romans shoulder, he loosened his grip slightly to allow Elena to turn around to face him. Elena wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Not meaning to be intimate, but more as a safety precaution, but it was intimate nonetheless. When Elena looked up to meet Roman's eyes she once again saw the mischievous grin on his lips.
"Okay, you should warn a person before you do that". Elena said, a bit perturbed.
Roman chuckled, "Where's the fun in that!".
Elena looked down again, taking in the fact that they were floating at least two hundred feet off the ground, she looked back up to meet Roman's gaze.
Elena laughed, amazed, "You can fly?...but how?".
Roman smiled joyfully, "Little gift Bonnie gave me a few years ago".
Elena looked at Roman, like really looked at him, his eyes shining in the sun, the light defining his handsome face even more than usual, and now the fact that she felt like Lois Lane flying in the arms of Clark Kent, made one thing perfectly clear in her mind. Roman absolutely had to be Superman. Just then Roman broke Elena thought she she leaned forward and pressed his lips against her, it was a beautiful moment, in the air, right in front of the sunset, but it was a short one however, as an unexpected blast of something, what is was, neither had clue, separated Elena from Roman's grasp and sent them both free falling through the air. Elena was plummeting through the Earth at a dangerous speed, screaming for dear life. When Elena began to see ground, she saw that she was going to land in the weather, but it wasn't going to help, the fall was to hugh up, but right before Elena could land , she felt something envelope her from behind and break her speed with a sharp twist, she and who ever had grabbed her landed back first into the water. Thankfully Elena's sure to be fatal fall was turned harmless, by a well timed Stefan who dove and caught her from the peer when he saw her coming. When they both reached the surface. Stefan looked at Elena with concern.
"Are you all right?". Stefan asked. Elena was shocked at what had just happened to answer. When he got no reply Stefan turned his head to Bonnie, who was looking on from the peer in distress. I Was as if he was using his eyes asking her what to do, but Bonnie wasn't sure.
Meanwhile back on the shore, Roman heard a voice as he began to regain consciousness. He opened his eyes.
"Rebekah...What the hell happened?".
"You tell me". Rebekah spoke with clear agitation, "I was just sunbathing and next thing I know. You come flying out of the air like a missile and crashland at my feet!".
It took Roman a moment to gather his bearing, he remembered being with Elena up in the air and then nothing.
"Something hit me", He said in realization,, then his eyes widened, "Where's Elena?".
Rebekah pointed out to the sea, "She's in the water Stefan caught her...What hit you?".
Roman ignored Rebekahs question and immediately peered out to the ocean , seeing Stefan tending to Elena, he let out a sigh of relief. A second later Roman heard his phone go off, the sound of text alert, he was a bit surprised the phone had not been destroyed on impact when he landed, but it didn't really matter he supposed, the issue now was that he felt something pulling him to check the text, like it was life or death, so he pulled out the phone and began to read.
Awww. That was nice for that pretty new girlfriend of yours. Too bad it made me puke, but that's besides the point, I'll be seeing you face to face soon, till then, watch out for the teeth!".
Roman looked up from the phone in bewilderment. 'Teeth?, who the? what the'.
That's when Roman's first question was answered as he looked out into the water and saw a giant dorsal fin rise from the water, nearing where Stefan and Elena were. Roman's eyes widened in alarm, he yelled out trying to warn them.
"SHARK!".
