Chapter 9 Changes
Elijah's Point Of View
Elijah walked along with Lexi carrying most of her bags. The Original wasn't about to let her carry them to his family's house. After all he was a gentleman. It was only a few blocks. The streets were eerily quiet seeing the late hour. His senses were on high alert just in case. He didn't want to worry or scare her. However he would be ready just as a precaution. As much as he would have liked them to both vamp speed he didn't want to make it obvious as to what they are. The last thing the Original wanted was to put them both in danger as open targets. Even having her under the same roof as his brother Niklaus he wasn't worried. Niklaus wouldn't hurt her. He has his mind on his baby daughter Hope. Plus they need to figure out if Esther and Mikael are truly back from wherever they were and how to rid them once and for all.
"Here we are my beautiful angel." The Original says to Lexi as they reach his family's compound. Instead of unlocking the gate and going in that way Elijah led Lexi over to the secret entrance that he would use to slip in and out of the compound without being seen. He wanted to keep the fact that she would be staying at his family's home a secret from anyone who would try to harm those he loved and cared about. Plus opening the gate would make noise and he didn't want to wake anyone up who maybe asleep at this hour. He unlocked the front door. Opening it as quietly as he possibly could. "You are invited inside." Elijah said as his brown hues looked into her hazel ones. A grin came across his lips. He waited as she walked in first. He followed making sure to close the front door and locking it behind them.
"Make yourself at home." The Original said to her. He watched as she glanced around at her new surroundings. "Don't worry about my brother Niklaus. I assure you he won't possibly harm you." He wanted to make her feel at ease. Maybe she could help bring Niklaus out of his deep downward spiral. He would try anything to help his brother. "Why don't you pick a bedroom?" She smiles at him and he follows her as she heads for the staircase. They walk upstairs together and he guides her down the hallway telling her which bedroom is unoccupied. He watches as she chooses a bedroom."Only the best for my Lexia." The bedroom has a feminine touch to it even though it's furniture is the style of most of the others. There's a dresser complete with mirror, tables on each side of the massive size bed. A huge closet as well as an ajoining bathroom. He waits as she enters her new quarters before walking in and setting her things down.
"Well I should let you get settled in. I shall say good night my beautiful angel." He walks over to where she is standing as he takes her hand in his own. His brown eyes looking into her dark hazel hues. He can't hold back but starts to smirk. A good night kiss wouldn't hurt. He takes his free hand brushing her cheek. Her skin so very soft. He closes his eyes as he leans his head closer to hers. His lips nearly touching her own. He can feel her breath. He kisses her deeply and passionately. His other hand now in her soft silky dirty blonde hair. The heat between them growing spreading. He could feel her kissing him back her fingers running through his own hair as her other hand was around his neck. The Original could feel her body against his own. He could hear her heart beating in his own ears. Her lips so soft and sweet.
This time he was the one who stopped kissing. However when he broke away and opened his brown hues he saw she had the biggest smile on her face. The next thing he knew he took his thumb and traced along her lips. He couldn't help it. "Goodnight my Alexia. Sweet dreams. I shall see you in the morning." Even after the kiss he kissed her on the forehead. Before he turned and walked to the doorway. He turned to glance at her once more a grin on his lips. He didn't know how he would sleep at all with her under the same roof. He closed her door as he walked into the hallway and towards his own bedroom.
Lexi's Point Of View
As they walked back to his family's home, Lexi carried the one bag that was the lightest. Elijah had the others and no matter how she tried he wouldn't allow her to help him carry anything more. That's how he is and what she loved about him. She had missed this side to him. She missed everything about him. It seemed as if the streets were deserted. It was only the two of them. She watched as Elijah seemed to be tense as if there was danger lurking around the next corner or come out of nowhere. She knew that he was serious that there was danger. She hoped that he would open up and share with her what that danger was. She wasn't sure how far they had to walk before reaching his family's home.
She blushed and giggled at his comment. They had reached their destination. She wondered why they weren't using the front gate. She followed him to another entrance that they used. After all it was late. Maybe he didn't want to wake anyone. Either that or they could possibly be watched by someone. She had no idea at the moment. She waited as Elijah opened the front door inviting her inside since she needed to be invited in. She noticed he was grinning. She wanted nothing more than for him to be happy. She smiled as her hazel eyes looked into his brown ones. She walked inside and waited as he shut and locked the door behind them.
She smiled as he told her to make herself at home. She glanced around at her new lodgings. Definitely touches of the Mikaelson's here and there. For the first time he mentioned his brother Klaus. She wasn't scared of him. The few encounters she did have with his brother. She couldn't understand why he would always dagger his siblings. To even store their coffins was morbid. Normal families didn't do that. She blushes a little and smiles when he mentions for her to pick out a bedroom. "Ok Elijah." She says as she walks towards the staircase leading upstairs. She walks with him upstairs and down the hallway listening to him as he tells her which room is taken. Finally she chooses a room. She lets out a giggle. She opens the door and walks inside her new quarters. He watches her then walks in after she does. She likes the fact that there is a female's touch to the room. She notices the huge closet and oversized bed. There's plenty of furniture and even a place to sit by the window.
She frowns a little as he is saying goodnight to her. "Thank you again for everything Elijah. Tonight has been one of the best times of my life." She is being honest with him. She blushes as he calls her his angel. Her hazel eyes looking into his brown ones. She takes his hand in her own. She notices he has a grin on his face. Before she can even blink he brushes her cheek with his hand. She knows he's about to kiss her as he leans his head towards her own. She can feel his lips almost on top of her own. She closes her eyes as she feels his lips on hers. His hand in her hair. She feels him begin to kiss her as she kisses him back. Her fingers run through his hair as her other hand is around his neck. She couldn't help but lean her body into his own. She is sure that he can hear her own heart beating just as she can hear his.
She was surprised when he was the one to break the left her breathless. If he only knew. She watched as he was as well. She opened her eyes and saw that he was smiling. She could get used to this. Before she could even blink her eyes she felt his thumb tracing along her lips. Her whole body was on fire. He made her feel things she never felt. A permanent smile on her lips as he said goodnight to her once again. "Thank you Elijah. Goodnight and the same to you." She smiled as he kissed her upon her forehad. He used to do that all the time. She watched as he walked to her door. She noticed he was grinning as he shut her bedroom door for her. She wasn't sure how she would fall asleep after the earlier events.
