Chapter 5-

Aria's POV-

I closed the door behind me, I had a smile so big that it would've hurt my cheeks if I cared but I didn't, I felt like I was on cloud nine.

Elijah was a really good kisser.

I squealed in delight and realized that Jenna, Elena and Jer, were all watching my teenage moment.

"Wow, I haven't heard a squeal like that since I was in high school and Mandy Patterson got Prom Queen." She laughed, "So who's the lucky guy?" everybody looked at me expectedly apart from Jeremy who was making gagging motions.

"That's for me to know, and for you to dot dot dot." Then I quickly ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. I could practically hear Jenna's frustrated groan and the mechanic wheels in Elena's brain trying to figure out who it was.

I spent the rest of the day in a Caroline like chipper mood. I wondered when I would see Elijah next and what this made us, people who kiss each other occasionally? Dating? Boyfriend/girlfriend? Friends with benefits? All I knew was that I wanted to kiss him again. And again. And again.

The next morning, the feeling still lingered there and I actually wanted to get to school.

I went through history without falling asleep, a very hard task. But by the time it was for second period, something had already ruined my day.

Elena had gone with Rose to Slaters (Vampire fan boy or something) to give herself up to Klaus.

I walked into the Salvatore boarding house with a purpose, a mission. Scream at Elena for being dumb. But it seems Damon had already beaten me to it. Oh well. He'll have to wait.

"What were you thinking, Elena!?" I yelled at her.

"Already been there." Damon informed me.

"Are you stupid?"

"Skip down."

"Why would you go there and try to give yourself up to Klaus?" I yelled, Damon and I looked at her expectantly, waiting for an answer.

"I'm not going to let the people that I love get hurt because of me." She said it calmly and reassuringly, like she was talking to a caged beast.

"And you thought that we wouldn't get hurt if you died?!" I yelled, I may be mad at her, but I don't think I could handle losing her.

"I'm sorry." She whispered. I sat down next to her and hugged her. Mission complete.

"So what happened?" I asked pulling away from the hug.

"Elijah. He turned up and killed the guys who were sent to see if I was real." Elijah. The name brought a smile to my lips. He saved Elena. I totally gotta kiss him now.

"Well, that's great!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself, Elijah's still a problem." Damon said taking a sip of scotch or some amber liquid. When Damon says problem he always gets rid of the problem. But I shouldn't worry about Elijah, he can't be killed. The only thing that can kill him or put him to sleep at the most is a dagger dipped in white oak ash. And Damon didn't have one.

I didn't say anything though. I would not help Damon kill Elijah.

"So what about we go home so you can sleep." She nodded and I lead her to my car and we drove back in silence.

"Have you forgiven me yet?" she says as were about to part ways at the staircase.

I think for a moment then nod, I can't hold a grudge forever. She smiles and I give her a quick hug, because after the day she's had, she needs one.

I go back into my bedroom and get dressed into my pyjamas with teddy bears on them.

"Cute pyjamas." I hear a deep voice say with a British accent. I spin around and see Elijah standing near my window. I smile and walk over to where he is.

"Their comfy." I say shrugging. I slowly lean forward and press my lips to his, his lips are firm and gentle.

"That's for saving Elena." I say as I pull away. He smiles and leans in and kisses me on the cheek.

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok." He was so considerate, how could someone who was meant to be a monster be so considerate. And sweet.

"I am." I nodded and kissed his lips quickly, then he disappeared and I was left with a school girl blush.

The next morning I was shaken awake by someone who looked like Elena but couldn't be so evil as to wake me up when in catching my beauty sleep. My muffled yells only made her jump on me. I pushed her off my bed and opened my eyes.

"What?" I groaned.

"Stefan's stuck in the tomb with Katherine." She said worriedly. I did the only thing I knew how to at that moment. I laughed. She looked at me like I was crazy.

"Whoa, you're not kidding?" ha, suck that Stefan. I still held a little grudge about being left in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere with a supposed psychotic original.

"No!" she yelled and got up, probably trying to figure out how to get Stefan out, but keep Katherine in.

She ran off and I couldn't be bothered to try to help, so I went back to sleep. I spent the rest of my day doing homework, fun times. I know I should probably be helping Elena or whatever but I wanted to graduate and get out of this crazy hellhole when this was all over, which meant homework and school.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth for bed and when I went back into my room Elijah was there.

"Miss me already?" I say, this was the second night in a row he had visited and I can't complain.

"What can I say, your rather delightful company." I smiled and Elijah tucked a stay curl of my blonde hair behind my ear, his hand cupped my cheek and we both leaned forward, this kiss was passionate and heated. Unlike all of our others that were soft and slow. My hands looped their way around his neck and he had his hands on my waist, squeezing. Without quite knowing what I was doing, I pushed his jacket down his arms and it puddled at his feet. His hands pushed up my top just a little exposing my stomach. His hands were cold on my stomach and he pushed the top the rest of the way over my head and it joined his jacket on the ground. I was wearing only my bra and shorts now. I started to unbutton his shirt but there was a knock at the door, I looked at my door then back to Elijah who wasn't there.

I put my top back on and opened the door. Jenna.

"Is there someone in here?" she asked curiously.

"Nope. Just me." Unfortunately.

"I thought I heard something."

I shrugged, I felt bad that we were all lying to Jenna, but in a way it was better that she didn't know. I closed the door behind me and saw that his jacket was still on the floor.

I picked it up and hugged it to me and then put it on the back of my door. At least now I had an excuse to see him again.

I entered the kitchen and poured myself a much needed cup of coffee. Elena entered the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee.

"So, what happened with Stefan?"

"Elijah's witch did the spell to free Katherine and Stefan but Elijah compelled Katherine to stay."

Elijah. Always a night in original armour.
