Strangely, Mia did not fight him and she returned his kiss as she tugged at his shirt to pull him closer towards her. She was drunk and half aware of what she was doing; her mind and body at war arguing over what she should do. Either let Kol kiss her and take it further or end this now before she ends up doing something she would regret the next morning.
Mia listened to her conscience, as she pushed him back slightly with her hand placed on his chest. Kol smiled playfully as he leaned in towards her for another kiss. Because his mind was somewhere else, he only really took notice of Mia's hand at the last minute as she struck her palm across his cheek.
A slap so hard if Kol was human he would've had a permanent red hand print reaching from his jaw line down to his chin. "Even while drunk you're still so feisty" Kol said while rubbing his chin even though the pain had gone instantly as she hit him.
In a fit of anger she walked around to the side of the car where she left her handbag on her seat. She searched through the contents of it hurriedly, trying to find her phone. She would call the mechanic herself or she would walk all the way back to the mansion. She groaned frustratingly for it wasn't there or anywhere around her seat.
She couldn't be near Kol after what she just experienced moments ago. She started walking along to the end of the bridge. "Where you going?" he asked her, using his vampire speed to catch up with her before she got away. She ignored him and carried on walking but he blocked her path and he attempted holding onto her again, only to have his hands crushed like he did Matt at the ball.
"Arrghh what the hell!" he yelled out in pain; funny how Kol had a weak spot in his hands whenever she fought him.
"Why must we fight when we can love?" Kol whined he wanted to hold her against him and kiss her lips until the sun rose or even later.
"You easily confuse love with a need for comfort and someone in your bed" Mia judged him.
"Is that what you believe?" Kol asked. His face softened and his grin vanished as if he was hurt by her words. "
That's what I know, Kol. Bekah told me what you did to girls; you play around with them and leave them once you're finished with them" Mia said harshly to him. She didn't care if she hurt his feelings if he felt anything, even for her.
"Fine. If you choose to judge me based on past experiences, be my guest. That's your choice. You decided to give up before even giving me shot" Kol told her sternly, hiding any trace of hurt by her harsh words thrown at him. Kol slid his hand into his back pocket and pulled out a shiny black object, "here go ahead. Call the mechanic, the quicker he gets here the less time you'll have to spend with me" he said and handed Mia's phone back to her and stepping past her to sit in the driver's seat in the car with an up-side down frown that didn't suit his handsome features.
Mia called the mechanic just as instructed but through the tedious hours waiting, her guilt got worse until again she was having a mental war in her mind; apologise or look the other way? She stayed quiet through the mechanic's process as he fixed the tire. She repeatedly glanced in Kol's direction in the driver's seat, and he caught a few of them while watching her with sad brown eyes from the rear-view mirror.
They sat in silence on the drive home, Kol giving her the cold shoulder and Mia just uncertain of what to say to him. Once they reached the driveway did Kol open his mouth; his voice soft as he spoke "Thank you for your honesty" before exiting the car and slamming the door behind him. "Kol wait..." Mia said quickly before he escaped inside, "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to be rude" she finished her apology.
"I think we need to let time decide where this goes from here" Mia suggested.
"I can be patient Mia. When I put my mind to something I never give up. I will wait an entire century for you, until then..." Kol said.
"Don't fret Kol. If people are meant to be together, they find a way. So until then, we both need to be patient" Mia said.
They walked in through the front door and into the living room where Klaus was up late with his sketch pad out. "You're late, where's Rebekah?" he asked but he already knew the answer to that question. She would only return by morning. Unluckily the next day was a school day for her and Mia.
Rebekah woke in the bedroom of the human boy's bedroom. The smell of sweaty gym socks and old pizza filled the air and it smelled terrible due to her enhanced sense of smell. She wasn't planning on waiting for him to drive her to school that morning, she climbed out of his bed and walked right out the door.
Her head held low as she walked the walk of shame mixed with pride. She was certain there would be a lecture when she returned home. With no form of transportation she walked along the path trying to find the route to the school. A few metres behind her a black vehicle was following her.
"Hey there would you like a ride?" the driver asked, who turned out to be one of the twins from last night.
Rebekah smiled wickedly and jumped into the passenger seat beside him.
"Who is she? I mean is she an original?" Elena asked her friends Bonnie and Caroline as they stood in the deserted history classroom for a brief meeting on the town's newcomer.
"Why else would Klaus keep her with him? Maybe she's like his sister or something" Caroline guessed, she hated speaking of Klaus or anything concerned with original vampires.
"No can't be. She would've been daggered" Bonnie told her. When Stefan stole the coffins he also took a peek at the dead ones lying inside, they immediately all assumed she was a loved one of Klaus; like he cared deeply for her.
"Maybe he ran out of daggers to use so POOF he used the Michael tomb spell" Caroline said.
"Whatever the reason, we need to find out soon" Stefan interrupted in a soft voice as the classroom quickly filled up with students, Mia and Rebekah being two of them.
As always the two vampires sat beside each other so they could speak all lesson long without giving a damn.
"At least you don't ever have to worry about being pregnant" Mia joked on her BFF's previous activities.
"Good morning class" Alaric greeted everyone while they chatted away about what a blast the party was last night.
"Excuse me miss...are you new" Alaric asked Mia. She was chatting away with boredom ever since he opened his mouth to start the lesson. She didn't feel bad she was just living up to her greater self. She knew very well if she kept her mouth closed she would start thinking, and only of one thing; Kol.
"Yes I am, you can call me Mia" Mia said boldly.
"Do you have a full name, Mia?" Alaric asked her and she nodded in reply.
"It's Mia Bella actually" she said.
"Do you have a last name perhaps?" Alaric asked her.
"yes...it's Salvatore" she replied after leaning back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest, followed by single glance and a grin in Stefan's direction.
Author's note:
