I was enraged. It seemed like the only time I visited Klaus was when I was intoxicated or mad at him or one of his siblings. I know it sounded like we had a messed up relationship, but for the Mikaelson family this probably was a stable relationship. Not that Klaus and I were in a relationship. Earlier was the closest we got to actually having the talk. I know it was usually the girl that wanted to have that conversation, but I didn't. I guess I just wanted to keep Kol alive somehow. I wanted something between us to be untainted, but now apparently even my memories of him were tainted. I don't know why I never noticed it after I was turned, but maybe that was because I wanted to believe the best about him. Now everything I knew was unraveling including me.
I barged in to Klaus house. I know it wasn't polite, but now was not the time. He looked at me as if he expected me to come running to him. He smiled a little, but he obviously didn't understand why I was here. Then I wondered did he know that Kol compelled me or was he just as much of a sucker as I was. How could I let a guy or guys ruin my life so much? At first I thought that Klaus would jump me. I hated that part of me wanted him to. But the expression on my face must have stopped him because now he appeared more worried than passionate. I looked into his eyes and asked," Did you know that Kol compelled me when we first met?"
Klaus looked shocked, "Yes."
I wanted to yell at him.
"Klaus, will you help me to remember."
He always seemed in pain when I mentioned Kol.
"Why?"
"So I can finally have closure and move on."
He nodded. Then he looked into my eyes and spoke softly to me. I remember him saying something, but I was suddenly plunged into the past. I was reliving that night. I was standing in the study looking at books. I remember thinking how amazing it would be to have so many books. I wanted to read them all. I wouldn't mind being married off if I was allowed to read all of these. Then someone walked into the room. It was Klaus and not Kol. He looked amazingly handsome and not at all threatening. It was a side of him that I have never seen before. He smiled at me, and it was sweet instead of smug. Of course he still oozed with confidence and rage from within. He moved closer to me, but there was still a lot of room between us. His presence took my breath away. Before this moment I had never felt my heart race over a boy, but now it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. Finally he broke the silence," I see you have found the study do you read a lot?"
I blushed." I wish. My father thinks that women are supposed to look pretty and have no mind of their own."
"Come on, I bet that doesn't stop you."
I giggled," To be honest, I do read some, but not nearly as many books as are in here."
"Take one."
"Excuse me?"
"Take one. Any one you want. I won't tell."
He smiled.
I looked around and then I picked up a book. Although I can't remember the name of the book, I had never read it before, but I knew I wanted to.
He said," Excellent choice."
I smiled," What's your name?"
"Nicklaus Mikaelson"
Maybe my father would let me marry him. Elijah was perfect gentleman, but Klaus made this unsuspecting fir in me burn.
"I am Olivia."
"Olivia, what a beautiful name. In Latin the name Olivia means to make peace. It suits you."
He smiled. I was flattered but also confused.
"What do you mean?"
"You make me feel peaceful."
Then he slowly moved towards me. He seemed to be afraid I would move away, but instead I also moved forward. Then he kissed me softly, and then the moment was gone. I was back in the present. I looked at Klaus. I was more confused now than ever. I was thinking that if I met Klaus first things might be different, and it turns out I did meet him first. Everything I thought I knew was a lie. I wanted to cry. The tears began to form in my eyes, but I had to know more before I broke down crying. I asked," So why didn't you tell me?"
He sighed," I wanted to, but I didn't want to ruin your opinion of my brother."
"Now you're the one that's lying. For once please tell me the truth."
Tears formed in his eyes." I was afraid that one day I would disappoint you."
"So you let Kol make me think that it was him."
"Yes, I couldn't bear the thought of compelling you myself."
I was speechless. They were both wrong to not give me a choice, but for some reason all I could think about was the way Klaus looked at me that night and the way he was looking at me know. It was like his barriers were gone. He was vulnerable. I moved closer to him and kissed him with all the fire that that memory gave me. He kissed back even more passionately. Every part of my body wanted to kiss him harder, but the other part of me wanted it to last longer, so we slowed down. But not enough to stop. Then he grabbed me in his arms and carried me to the bed with super speed. He was being forward, but I wanted it to. He placed me on the bed. I saw a sly smile across his face. Normally this would scare me, but right now it excited me.
The rest of the night was magical. It was even better than the first time. This time was more about love than passion. Now passion played a part of course, but this time was more meaningful. The morning after I didn't want to super speed out of there because of embarrassment. This time I stayed. I didn't want the night to end. I looked over at his side but he was no longer there. I got up and put on one of Klaus shirts. I couldn't find my jeans. I had no choice, but to go downstairs without them. With any luck nobody else would be home. I went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and to my surprise he was making breakfast. Now I know vampires don't need food to survive, but I loved breakfast and I think he knew that. He glanced at me. He smiled when he realized I was only wearing his t-shirt.
I was afraid to speak because I didn't want to ruin this moment. Turns out I wouldn't be the one to ruin it. Because in popped Elijah. The look on his face wasn't exactly shocked but he was abvuoisly a little surprised. I think most of his expression was because he didn't expect it to be in the kitchen. I didn't know what to do. I mean I couldn't get dressed, because I couldn't find my jeans. This was so embarrassing. Elijah said," Will you be joining us for our morning meeting with Francesca."
I was stunned that he seemed to ignore what was going on in front of him.
I replied," Um…No, I have to get home actually."
I walked away from the kitchen. Klaus grabbed my arm and said, "Will you come back tonight?"
I nodded my head.
He continued," By the way, your jeans are in the living room, love."
He gave me one of his cocky smiles and then he was off.
