A/n: I still only own the plot and nothing more.
I paced back and forth across the bridge wondering if Elena was actually going to turn up or not. I was hoping that she would but if she didn't then I was going to go to her house and demand for her to listen to me. I told myself that I was going to give her another ten minutes to get here. The way that I was acting, you think that I was a hormonal teenager instead of a centuries old vampire; and an Original one at that, I don't know what it was about this girl but ever since I first met her, I was drawn to her. I wanted to protect her but at the same time I wanted to protect my family as well.
God this is so annoying, the whole waiting part. I just hope that she wasn't disappointed when she turned up and saw me standing here instead of one of the Salvatore's. I checked my watch for the hundredth time and I saw that the ten minutes has passed; now it was time to go to her house. I lifted my eyes and there standing on the other side was Elena.
"Hello Elijah, I got your note. Thank you so much for the roses, they are absolutely beautiful." she said with a smile on her beautiful face.
"Hello Elena. I'm glad that you came and that you love the roses. I hope that you are not disappointed when you saw me standing here."
"How can I be disappointed in the man that sent me twenty stunning blood red roses?"
"Well, my dear, I was afraid that you thought it might have been from one of the Salvatore's."
"I knew that they weren't from them."
"Oh and how did you know?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well for one, they don't have such elegant handwriting as you do. Two, it wasn't any of their scents in my bedroom and three, I compared the note that came with the roses to the letter that you sent me."
"You still have that letter?" I asked truly surprised that she would have kept it.
"Of course Elijah. I've always liked you and there was no way that I was going to throw away something that you wrote to me."
"I'm surprised that Damon or Stefan didn't demand you to throw it away, you know how they hate my family."
"No one knows that you wrote to me and that I kept it. It's in a secret hiding place that no one knows about, not even Jeremy."
"Ah I see. Were you ashamed that I had written to you?"
"No, of course not. I just knew that it was no one else's business weather you wrote to me or not."
"That makes sense."
"Now, tell me about the roses. Clearly there is something that you want to tell me because you wouldn't have sent me flowers in the first place for no reason."
"You are a very wise woman Elena. You are right I do have something to tell you."
"Well then please tell me; don't keep me in suspense any longer."
Well here goes nothing I thought. "Elena, I know that this might not be perfect timing to tell you this, what with your breakup with Damon and all but you need to know this. I'm in love with you Elena and I have been since the very first time that we met. I've tried to ignore it but it won't go away, I'm drawn to you like a moth is drawn to a flame and I can't help myself."
Elena was silent for a few minutes; and those minutes seemed like hours instead of ninety minutes. Finally she spoke, "You... love... me? As in really love me?"
"Yes love from the very first day."
"And you tell me this now, why?"
"Because I was tired of seeing you get your heartbroken."
She didn't say anything after that, she just stood there staring at me, and it looked like she was trying to figure out how to respond.
"Elijah I..."
A/n: Yep I know, I'm evil for leaving it there but don't worry, I'll be updating again tomorrow. *waves* until then.
