"Are you…. okay?"
Kol put the last scoop of choco-mint ice cream in his mouth as he raised his eyebrows at her question.
"I mean, are you sure you're holding up?" Davina's eyes were filled with concerns and worries but mostly… Guilt.
He could sense that even if he tried to be strong for her, he failed. You would think centuries of hide and seek with his beloved father would've taught him how to lie. Well, his girl was not buying any of 's how much she knew him. And that's why he had to make her feel better.
"Yeah, of course, D. As long as you're here with me, I'm more than okay. Alright?"
Yes, make her beautiful eyes lit up again was his goal and the purpose of this improvised date at their favorite frozen yogurt place.
"You know you can talk to me, right? Or anyone but- just tell me if you need space or anything, really." She intensified her state into his eyes.
Kol pointed her frowned forehead with his plastic scoop. "You know, love. You shouldn't make this face, or your skin will age faster."
"Ha-ha."Davina softly put the scoop back in his cup.
"I'll soon be dating your great-grandma again." He said in a laugh.
"You dated my great-grandmother?" She exclaimed in shock.
"You know what, Davina? I think you should eat more ice cream. I'll buy you more ice cream." He said in panick as he stood to make his way to the cashier. "Kol!"
She laughed "There's no escape to this conversation!"
Everything felt so much better since they were back together. As a couple. At least it's what she thinks they are. Their situation seemed felt… unclear, suddendly.
She forgots for a moment her doubt as a cup of frozen yogurt topped with exotic fruits was placed in front of her.
"You know you can't buy me, right?" She said, as she raised one of her eyebrows.
"I'm not buying you, I'm spoiling you. And, well, you're still eating what I gave you anyway." Kol pointed out as she put a pineapple bite into her mouth.
The young witch put back her spoon in her cup and looked into his eyes with a smile. She missed him so much.
"Kol...Can I ask you something?" Davina's voice took a more serious tone.
"Yeah anything, Love. What's on your beautiful mind of yours?" She let out a little laugh.
"What are we?"
Incomprehension could be read on his the youngest Mikaelson's face.
"What do you mean?"
As she was about to express her thoughts on the subject, she was cut by a ringtone.
"Dammit. You would think he learned to live without his siblings when he daggered us. Multiple times."
She let out a shy smile. "You should take it." He paused. "You're sure? I'm certain Nik can wait, Love." Davina laughed litely.
"No, no. We can discuss it later. Don't bump your head to much about that."
Kol took his phone out of his pocket. "I'm sorry about that, little witch. I'll make my brother pay for his lack of concern for my love life."
He responds as he put his phone to his ear.
"Yes, brother?"
Davina waited patiently in front of him as the discussion between the two turned progressively into an argument of some sort. Davina knew Kol's relationship with his siblings could be described as tough love. Well, 'extreme' tough love, so this kind of discussions were expected.
Wait. An awful feeling got into her. Her thoughts progressively diverged into how crazy the situation was. Her ex-boyfriend returned from the dead and she lied to him for months, pushing him to kill some poor girl as he vowed to be better for her. She pushed him away for her own sake and now she was expecting him to love her the same. Plus, the brunette was pretty sure Kol already heard what she said.
Why would she say that ?!
Why would she question their relationship right now ? He's propably freakin out now, right ? Or is she the only one freaking out about their status ? Maybe he's not planning on getting back with her after all ? Which would be totally comprehensible, The witch thought.
« Sorry about that, D. » Kol spun his chair to sat in front of the brunette. « So, what were we saying ? »
Davina placed timidly a broad of hair behind her hear. « Oh, nothing ! Hum.. D-do not worry about that. » she answered rapidly. The young Mikaelson eyed her with incomprehension.
« Well, so you didn't wanted to talk about us ? » he pointed, innocently.
« Err… No ! No, I- » The regent stopped in her babbeling, as she felt someone lift her off her chair. Next thing she knew, she was laying on the ground with pieces of glasse surrounding the place. Kol was shielding her from glass debris.
« Davina ! You're okay ? » Kol reached for her head and sides, verifying her state. « Yeah, what was that ? » As Kol went to search for evidence on their attacker, the brunette went to help the other customers.
« I don't know. Here, I think the animal left a message. »
Davina went by his side, avoiding the different cups and remains of food on the floor. Kol was frowning as a single word appeared on their table.
« What is it ? »
« Retribution. »
Here it is, sorry it took so long. I'm in college now and things tends to get complicated sometimes! Hope some people are still reading my story. If not, I still enjoyed writing it so I will not be disappointed ;) What do you think? I'm sorry it's not really long. I'll try to write longer chapter when I'll have the time!
Who do you think the attacker is and why? Why now of all moments? Will Kol and Davina ever try to be honnest with each other? Can both of them redeem themselves?
Send me your guess, I'd love to hear your thoughts :D
Ps : I'm still looking for a beta if anybody is wondering
