Elena knew what she wanted to do; she really wanted to kiss him, but she knew that this wouldn't happen. Elijah had told her he wanted to wait. Elijah thought for a moment before answering "Let's unpack." Elena shrugged and said "might as well." He laced his hand in hers and they walked up the steps. Normally Elijah would just pick her up and vamp speed them upstairs, but he wasn't in a hurry. The steps were wide enough for three people to walk side by side, so it was easy for the two to go up.
Once in the master bedroom Elena opened her bag. There was a giant dresser across the room. It looked like it had been built by hand as well. The handles for the drawers looked antique; they had intricate drawings of lines on them. She pulled the top one open and began to fill it with her clothes. Once all her clothes were folded and neatly placed she closed it. She put her shoes beside the dresser and the rest were put in a drawer in the bathroom. The bathroom was huge and breathe taking. It had a huge bath that could hold probably 5 easily. The shower was walk in and had glass sliding doors. Elena peeked inside. There were three shower heads on each of the three walls. She closed the door back and walked back to the room. Elijah was lying on the bed watching her.
"Are you not going to unpack?" Elena asked. "I did" he said and stood. It just crossed her mind... was he going to wear suits the whole weekend? She couldn't wait to find out. They stood there for a few seconds before Elijah asked "What would you like to do know?" She laughed "I don't know, you wanted to take me here… you must have something planned." Elijah did in fact have something planned, but he wanted to save it for later. Instead he grabbed clothes from the second and disappeared in the bathroom. Seconds later he appeared dressed in jeans and a soft black shirt.
Elena's eyes were wide in shock. She had never seen him out of a suit. She liked it, he was sexy and he didn't even have to try. "So what are we going to do?" Elena asked with a smile on her face. He smiled and held his hand out. "Trust me?" he asked. Elena slide her hand in his and nodded. He pulled her to him and was outside in a matter of seconds. She had her arms around his neck. He had one arm wrapped around her securely and she knew that no matter what she wouldn't fall.
She had her eyes closed, but knew they were not on the ground this mad her tighten her legs around Elijah. Stefan had never risked taking her higher than necessary; he barely even used his vamp speed with her. Elijah didn't seem to mind showing her this side of him. She opened her eyes and saw they were bouncing from tree to tree. She looked at Elijah who was focused on the trees. She smiled and closed her eyes again.
Elijah felt her tighten her legs around him, but knew she wasn't scared because her heart was calm. This made him smile, she trusted him completely. They were almost there and he couldn't wait to hear what she thought. He felt her gaze, but didn't risk looking away from the trees. If he hurt her he wouldn't trust himself around her again. He saw the clearing up ahead and slowed down. He landed softly on the ground and looked around. It was still the same.
Elena still had her arms and legs wrapped around her and he still had his arm around her. Elena opened her eyes again. Elijah let her down gently and watched her reaction. It was rather late so it was dark, but just enough light showed her the beauty of the view. Flowers glistened in the moonlight. Elena smiled "Elijah, this is so gorgeous" she said. "I used to come here to clear my head" Elijah said. Elena turned and met his gaze for a second before going back to look over the hill. All there was for miles around was trees. It was so peaceful. She sat down and watched the trees. The sound of nature was so lovely. He sat down beside her. The sat there overlooking the trees. It was getting darker every few minutes, but Elena didn't seem to mind. Elijah plucked a flower beside him. It was white and elegant. He looked over at Elena who was still smiling.
Elena turned and looked at Elijah. "This is a perfect spot to clear your mind" she said in response to his earlier comment. Elijah smiled softly and brushed Elena's hair behind her ear. He slid the flower behind her ear. Elena was watching Elijah; he had a look she couldn't describe. He leaned in and caught her off guard with a kiss. His lips were soft and the kiss was so sweet. Her heart started to beat loudly in her chest. He moved his lips with hers and the heat intensified. The kiss ended when Elijah pulled away. Elena was blushing and her heart was going crazy. He fixed the flower in her ear and smiled.
"Wow" Elena said. Elijah laughed and said "Wow indeed." Elena smiled and moved closer so she could lean against Elijah. They stayed that way until Elijah felt Elena get cold. He picked Elena up and held her tightly against him to try and keep her warm. She clung to him all the back to the house. In minutes she was wrapped in a blanket on the bed. Elijah was in the kitchen making her Hot Chocolate. She went back to thinking about the kiss. She smiled and started to blush again. The kiss was fiery and at the same time sweet and soft. Elijah came back in and caught her blushing.
He smiled and handed her cup of coco. She suddenly asked a question "What were you thinking about when we kiss?" he moved closer to her and answered "I was thinking about how long I had been wanting to do that." She smiled and put her cup in the night stand. "What about you?" he asked. "I was thinking about how your lips felt against mine" she said the while looking down. Elijah moved closer to her and pulled her in his arms. "Don't be embarrassed" he turned her head to his "I like kissing you" as he said this he brushed his lips against hers. Her heart skipped a beat and she blushed again.
