Dear friends, near enemies (part 2).
'Careful, dear Elena, my ego might grow to be as big as Katerina's' Tatia spoke with a mock scolding expression & produced a little giggle.
'Oh excuse me, dear Tatiana, for possessing confidence; I can hardly help if my beauty entices those around me now can I?' Katerina asks glowering at Tatia, raising her single, perfectly plucked eyebrow. I laugh a nervous laugh to try & break the tension, Tatia & Katerina love each other & would do anything for one another, but they also like to challenge each, kind of like a love/hate relationship.
'Can you two try & be civil to one another, for one day? Pleaaaseee' I drag out the word please & bat my eyelashes & giving my best innocent doe-eyed look.
'For you my devoted friend, always' Katerina says dramatically, one thing you should know about Katerina, is that she is all about extravagance & acting. 'Of course Elena, we owe you that at the least' Tatia winks in my direction & I give a beaming smile to them both. 'Oh, how I do love you too, even if you seem to enjoy driving me toward insanity' I gush & wrap them both in a tight hug.
'But truthfully, you both look enchanting. I wouldn't be surprised if you were both courted by tomorrow evening!' I exclaim wistfully, I would truly be a miracle to look & be as confident as Tatia & Katerina.
'Speaking of courting, Elena is they anything you wish to speak to us of' Katerina insinuates vaguely. Tatia & I give her a puzzling look.
'Not that I know of, but please do speak if there has been talk of me being courted' I suggest curiously
'Oh, well there has been talk of a certain Mr Matthew Donavon, which wishes to court you' Katerina drawls out.
'How fortunate is our Elena! His eyes are so blue are dreamy' Katerina sighs longingly. 'It is very lucky that I love you so or else Mr Donavon would be queuing in my long line of admirers' Katerina teases waggling her eyebrows.
'Okaaaay' Tatia says distractedly, gazing over the grass field.
'Oh, well would you look at that' Tatia pointed over at a male figure, riding are way on a sturdy elegant charcoal horse, as he rode closer I could tell how strikingly handsome he was, high cheeks bones, strong jaw line, straight nose, tanned skin & dark chocolate hair. He looked regal & wealthy, like he belonged to a royal family of some kind.
'As how you are so enticing Katerina, I believe you should try to entice that beautiful specimen of man' Tatia & I giggled, as Katerina started to head out towards the mysterious man with a determined look upon her radiant face.
'Pardon me sir, but me & my friends are lost, you see we decided to venture out into the fields, as my dearest friend Elena adores nature, but seem to have lost are way' Katerina looked at him with an innocent, pleading look bestowed upon her face. The man smirked like he understood exactly what she was trying to accomplish. 'Well of course, what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't?' he questioned the smirk still present on his red lips. He climbed down the horse; rein in hand & offered Katerina his hand, she took it & they strolled towards us, Katerina with a triumphant grin on her face.
'Pardon me, but I seem to have forgotten to ask of your name' Katerina giggled lightly.
'oh of course, my name is Elijah, Elijah Mikaelson' he smiled distantly looking in my direction, which acquired me to blush fiercely & asked softly; taking his hand from Katerina & bringing it to my direction '& what my I ask what your given name may be?' he urged. I gave him my hand & he lightly kissed my hand, lingering on my wrist 'Elena Gilbert' I smiled softly.
