Chapter 6
Kol's POV
When arriving back to the house we both go to our rooms to shower. I am happy after today's events (the kiss). I am constantly smiling in the shower, I try to wipe my own smile off my face with the towel but I feel numb. I made out with Elena Gilbert. Although it was only for a short while, it still gave me the most satisfying feeling. I put on some track suit bottoms to relax after our long boat trip. I'm still smiling and need to stop.
Elena's POV
Washing the blood out of my hair was a bit distressing but I had the best time, just one trip. I went jet skiing in Greece! I put on a casual pair of shorts, which is unusual; back in Mystic Falls I would always wear jeans. I pair it with a simple tank top. I walk out to see Kol outside doing pull ups using the roof of the bar just watching the view. I sigh with a smile because of how I should expect this. I walk towards him and suddenly focus on the sweat rolling down the nape of his neck down his back as his muscles flex. It stuns me leaving me in awe.
With his face still in the direction of the view he cockily asks, "Can't help but stare ey?" This knocks me out of the trance and I reply with "Do you always do this?"
"Well someone's got to take care of this body." He cheekily says with a strain in his voice, which I surprisingly find super sexy. I sigh and turn to get some water. As I put the glass to my lips Kol speeds in front of me taking the glass, with his face 5 inches away. I don't move back, because we have a close enough relationship as friends. He sighs with relief
"Thanks" I lean against the wall on my right and glance at his abs which have been defined so much I cant help but glance back down again hoping he didn't notice. He smiles with his mouth open as if he was about to say something but then the doorbell rings.
Kol speeds to the door and opens it, I walk to him and it is the boat captain with a big smile, "Yes?" Kol asks. He replies in Greek and hands Kol a bag, presumably one left on the boat. He obediently informs us. I see Kol's expression strain, as this is not our bag. I hold his shoulder and rest my chin on my grip. He opens the bag and drops a piece of paper, which I pick up and find our pictures on it like a Wanted poster. Kol grabs the sheet and he is expressionless with a sense of fear. He rushes to his room then mine holding a duffel bag, from Gucci. "Pack your things, someone is looking for us." I obediently rush to grab a few pieces and underwear and run back to him stuffing it in. He puts on a shirt, hat and sunglasses looking very rugged. He puts a hat on my head gently even while rushing and I adjust it accidentally putting my hands over his. He throws the bag over his shoulder with the car key between his teeth. I walk to the car and in seconds he unlocks the car, gets in and starts the engine. The gates close to the beautiful Greek house, which I am terribly sad to leave. He closes the convertible roof and I take off my hat.
Kol's POV
I hear Elena's fast beating heart, "I suspect these are werewolves searching for us as they don't want anymore hybrid creations decreasing their colony populations making them sired to Klaus. Your blood is the only thing standing in their way. Werewolves are good trackers so we have to hurry. I call up Klaus, "How is my blood bag doing?" Klaus asks
"Klaus, werewolves are onto us. They attacked us in Santorini yesterday and are still searching for us. What do you suggest?"
"What. Get out now. I can't send hybrids or they will have a stronger scent to track. You need to stay hidden while I build up my Hybrid army, it's not safe here yet. Werewolf packs are migrating next to Mystic Falls. Don't stop driving, just continue to avoid any contact."
"Okay"
Elena's POV
He hangs up the phone and zooms with such speed my head is forced to stay with my back to the seat. I see the concern in his face and grip his forearm for support. He smiles at me while sighing deeply. We travel to the mainland and drive out of Greece. They would assume we would take a plane so we don't. Plus there can't be that many werewolves here, we cant travel faster than they can in packs.
Kol's POV
Elena is trying to comfort me in her kidnap, wow. I guess I am only keeping her safe and she sees that. We are friends, I respect her. We are passing the border of Greece and plan to go through Bulgaria, we stop off at an 'Auto stop for a break after hours of driving. As soon as we step out we both stretch, Elena manages to unintentionally catch a few men's attention as she bends over to fill the gas. Elena is as innocent as it gets, I want to protect her vulnerability. I walk next to her and we walk into the stop. It is filled with Europeans speaking different languages; many eyes are laid on us when we walk in, probably because of Elena's body. I must admit I caught myself glancing for a few moments.
Elena's POV
"You've been driving for hours, let me drive." I insist, Kol looks up from his coffee questioning my skills with his stare. I laugh and he claims he is fine, Kol has not had much sleep. He is always too alert just for my safety. I convince him to allow me. We walk out and I go to the bathroom and freshen up. On my way to the bathroom I spot so many hot Europeans couples, Im glad I have Kol.
Kol's POV
Elena walks back and we decide what we are doing tonight. "So I was thinking we just go to a hotel with compulsion to avoid any identification records." I say.
"Sounds good, yes we can order room service!" Elena says excitedly. This implies we are sharing a room. I hear, in Greek, guys talking about Elena so I just want to leave. We get back to the car to find car fanatics crowding around taking pictures. I sigh and pretend I don't speak the language. Elena laughs and nudges me on the shoulder. Kol shows off and opens the convertible roof and we zip away, "Kol! I nearly spilled my coffee." Elena argues as I accelerate. I continue to accelerate making Elena grip onto my upper arm for support. I slow down and then make a rapid turn into the city center. She literally throws her whole cup of coffee out of the car but still holding the cup. She turns to me with an expression filled with anger, shock and laughter. I apologize while laughing and hand her mine. She is fine to share saliva with me, after all we made out.
Elena's POV
We are in the capital city, Sofia. We pull into the Hilton hotel's driveway and get valet parking. Kol gets a presidential suite "for two" he says. We enter the room and it straight ahead there is a balcony overlooking the city. The beautiful shear curtains blow high in the wind against the antique furniture with golden embellishments. There is one king size bed with drapes hanging over the wooden frame as a curtain. Kol tells the bellboy they need two beds, it is a king bed. "No, its okay this is fine, thank you." I tell the bellboy. The receptionist must have thought we were a couple. Kol looks to me with confusion,
"We can share a bed, its huge!" I tell him.
"Don't worry, I can take the sofa."
"Don't be ridiculous, your legs cant even fit. Kol its fine." The bellboy leaves.
"If you insist." He smirks. I smile with humor but then realize I looked glad to share a bed. "Do you want to shower first?" I ask,
"No, you can. I have to sort call Klaus." I look through the bag standing next to Kol with out sides touching while he is on his phone. I grab some underwear and a nightdress which I now realize is a bit revealing. I enter the bathroom with only a wall shielding the open shower and get undressed.
Kol's POV
I call Klaus to give him our location and whilst he talks to me I turn facing the bathroom where there is a blurred glass wall. I see Elena's figure undressing, not enough to see details but her figure is bold. My jaw slowly drops as I see Elena wash her body, I am awoken by Klaus' persistent questions and turn back around. I take one last look behind me as I walk away with guilt.
Elena's POV
I walk out of the shower in a long bathrobe to find Kol in the balcony with out a shirt. I admire his back muscles leading down the small of his back and end up looking at his abs as he turns around on the phone speaking Greek, I think. He tells me he's going out to grab something, its blood. As he walks past I put my hand out to stop him and touch his muscles by accident. I keep my hand there as I tell him "We cant risk seeing anyone right now, especially with them out there. " He pushes past with a sense of desperation and I just blurt out "Drink from me. You know doppelgänger blood is the best and I don't mind, it hardly affects me." He stops mid way with his hand on the door and turns back with his eyes red with desperation. I'm not scared. He slowly walks towards me with a look questioning my decision and I nod pulling my robe off my shoulder. He gently holds the back of my head and shoulder while revealing his fangs. I tilt my head and he drinks, the pierce was so light I barely felt it. It felt more like a hickey, I sigh with pleasure before he pulls back and wipes off a drop of blood. He thanks me while pulling my bathrobe back to normal, as I am a bit sleepy. I want this feeling so I will sleep better or I would be awake all night with just a sip of his blood. Kol takes a shower and I get into the bed after dimming the lights and doze off.
