Mia POV:
By the time 11am had rolled around I had showered, dressed in a pair of light blue basic jeans and a black vest top with my usual trainers and mismatched socks, and finished breakfast thanks to Elijah.
Bekah had gone and given Kol a blood pouch relieving Klaus of Kol watch and told Kol that me and him were going to have a calm conversation tonight and during that Klaus would pick up some of my things and drop them off, before going to some benefit courtesy of Mayor Lockwood tonight. After the 'date' we would go grab the rest of my stuff and before the date we would drop the irritating little lump (aka my sister) at home with the warning of making sure to keep the secret of vampires. At the same time I would inform my parents that my plans to move were finally ready to be put to action. I had told my mum before and she said it was good for me and she told my dad - he said good riddance (Lovely huh?).
I was currently explaining to Ami that she mustn't tell anyone or it could put herself, me and everyone else in danger but she seemed to be frozen in the concept that everything she learned should just be forgotten which I admit would most likely be for the best.
"I promise! Can we go noww!?" She whined (back to her bratty self already) eager to go home.
"We need to wait a few more minutes for Kol, he is giving us a lift back home then most likely mum and dad will need you to get ready for the benefit tonight." I murmured while checking my satchel, all I was bringing was my mobile, wallet and keys, everything else Rebekah took saying she would be doing the final touches to my room meaning sheets, rugs and lamps (no doubt clothes) ect.
"The wait is over darling, ready to go?" Kol said a little stiffly most likely tense from the last few days worth of stress.
Nodding, we silently left and headed towards a deep blue Lexus which was so shiny it looked as though you could see your own reflection on it a mile away. Driving to my house took minutes and sooner than I thought possible I was taking Ami to the door and she ran upstairs to play most likely while I went in search of mum.
She was average height with long brown hair which she often kept in a rough pony tail down her shoulder. Today she was wearing a black tight knee skirt and white pinstriped peasant blouse, along with her black blazer and 5 inch heels. She was just about to head down to the council building where she worked as a representative. Since there was a party tonight she was most likely going to the hair stylists straight after.
"Mum, hi. I just wanted to drop Ami off..." I said but my mum was busy tapping her phone while absently saying ok.
"And I wanted to say I will be moving out..." She looked up at this and smiled.
"Good for you, well good luck and hope you take care sweetie but I really need to go." And with that she walked me out the door in silence while setting up her earpiece and left.
Rolling my eyes I locked the door knowing that dad was most likely asleep on the sofa since it was his day off, he just worked at the grill as a chef but usually took the early morning shifts.
I hopped into the tense atmosphere of Kol's car and let him pull away, not sure what to say. The awkward silence didn't do much except grow. Finally I spoke up, not able to take the silence any more.
"I'm moving in with you all tonight after this date is over." I announced quietly.
"You are?" He started looking me in the eyes as though making sure I was telling the truth.
"Yeah. I was planning to before you were awakened and Klaus has been setting up my room bit by bit since he came back and killed Mikael, we caught up a few days later and he offered me to live with him since I don't get on well with my household..." I said happier that the tension had lifted somewhat.
"Look Mia, I don't know how to be in a relationship but I want to learn for you. If that is what it takes for you to be with me, I want to do that. And darling I am sorry about last night, Klaus and Elijah both had a word with me and made it a little more understandable from your view." He stated, clearly unsure of how to go about this conversation.
"Rebekah did the same for me...and that's why I think we should have a calm but serious conversation tonight before we do anything rash." I made sure to give him a pointed look at the word rash, it being one of the many words that have pinpointed his personality before.
Smirking, he agreed before we pulled up to a stop. We were outside a small restaurant which was high class but not too bad to be wearing jeans like the pair of us were.
"One of Klaus's hybrids own the place and has offered a room just for the two of us to have complete privacy and be treated politely with certain changes for my wine choice if wanted." Kol stated proud of this little fact before opening my door with chivalry which I was certain he lost within the past 1000 years or so but it seems he dug them out for me.
Walking in the double glass doors made me smile, it was classy but not overly so more comforting with the edge there to make sure the customers were polite. We were quickly sped away by an awaiting waitress who was dressed neatly and very modestly. She was around 23,long black hair braided tightly down her back with the odd diamond clip in to make it prettier, white blouse covered by a black dress which fell to her knees and her legs were covered in see thru tights and black heels. She was overall beautiful yet respectful and it was nice.
After she collected our orders and Kols coat she silently left us in the small but comfortable room. The floors were dark polished wood which matched the round table we were seated at. Brown leather chairs which were incredibly soft and comfortable, light brown walls which almost shone in the subtle lights on the walls and the lone candle on our table with a small vase and tiny rose.
"So you are living with myself, Bekah and brothers tonight? What about your personal items?" Kol asked airily while leaning back relaxing into his own chair.
"Yes, Klaus is picking up the bigger and bulkier things like my canvases and storage boxes, but you and I are stopping by to pick my other things up that he can't fit in his car. Rebekah has offered to grab any remaining items if she has time but I don't know if she is heading to the benefit tonight or not. She didn't reply to my text." I finished just as our waitress returned with a large coke for me with floating ice, a lime wedge and black straw. For Kol she left a red wine glass with suspiciously thicker than normal wine within before leaving us a menu each and heading outside for a few minutes.
After a few moments we both decided what we wanted and waited for a minute as the woman came back in, I ordered a chicken breast filet with tomato and parsley chutney sided with roast potatoes and chive sauce. Kol ordered a rare steak with chunky chips along with a dip selection. Nodding she announced it would be fifteen minutes at most and left with a smile and our finished menus.
"What about us? are we in a relationship?" Kol asked a little hesitant, from what Rebekah told me he has never been in a long term relationship nor with a human... well that survived... and stayed human.
"I would say we both have feelings for one another, and I know despite not knowing you, I do know I like you a lot. I would say we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and we take things slow and that should give us time to figure out who one another is and what we mean to each other." I announced slowly because I do like him so much but until I know him more I don't know what these feelings are.
"I understand, but what about the future? While it may appear far off for you ten years, fifty years it all snaps by to me and I need to know your feelings on becoming like me." He said, I knew he really wanted me to be a vampire but I never put much thought into it.
"I never really thought I would live past school let alone long enough to consider meeting a person to live for eternity with, and while I am not against being like you I rather wait until after school, and we have gotten to know each other again. I know I would be able to live with you and your siblings because they are like family and you are something else but I don't know how to live with the uh... change of diet." I murmured a little.
He nodded with a slight smile knowing it wasn't an eternity with him I was scared or skeptical of but the changes that came with it. "I have a suggestion then." At my curious nod he continued, but not before swigging his 'wine'. "After you graduate, you come with me to travel. In the meantime I join your school, we go on dates and everything but once it's over we go around the world just the two of us since we both know we can't get much privacy at the mansion or in this town. And on the journey we can be a proper couple and I can introduce you to a few other vampires and acquaintances of mine to get you more in tune with my world." He said, finishing with a little flourish just as the waitress returned with our dishes on a little silver trolley along with a refreshment of our drinks, an optional wine that compliments our dinners and some cutlery.
I nodded thanks to the waitress who I now noted was named Abby according to the little pin stuck to the strap of her dress.
"I think that idea is really good actually..." I murmured thoughtfully and it would actually work out, Elijah announced when the family ball was over he wanted to travel a bit with Finn since they spent so long apart and try to locate a woman named Sage.
Rebekah said she wanted to try working on her relationship with Klaus now that Mikael was gone and all the stakes and daggers were destroyed they could try to rebuild the broken trust so we would all have a year break from one another.
"I love that idea!" I grinned, finally coming to grasps with it, smirking he raised the new wine which was white this time and clinked it with mine which too was white and we toasted to us, and our future.
Please review, I would love to know what you think.
