Elena woke up and Elijah was not in bed with her. She looked around and didn't see him. She did hear the shower though. She knew he would hear her she just said it in a normal voice "I'm going to make breakfast meet me downstairs" she headed down stairs and looked through the fridge. It just occurred to her he had planned to take her here. The bed, the food, basically all the human needs. She smiled. She grabbed herself some eggs and bread and was eating when Elijah came down stairs. He was dressed in a white shirt and dark blue jeans. She nearly choked on her bread. Did he always look this good?
She swallowed her food and said "Good morning" he walked over to her and looked around "What … no food for me?" Elena looked at him and "I thought… Uh.. I can make you some" He laughed "I was kidding Elena." She looked at him "That is so not nice" he walked to the fridge and came back out with a bag of blood. She watched him pen it and drink it. She wasn't grossed out, but she did watch him. He drained the bag and tossed it in the trash. She finished her food and was about to wash them when he placed his hands over hers. "I can do this, you go shower" she smiled and kissed his cheek before running upstairs.
Elena didn't bother to close the door to the bedroom. She trusted Elijah wouldn't invade her privacy. She striped her clothes and put them in the basket she saw earlier by the bathroom door. She walked in and stepped to the shower. She turned one of the knobs and it blasted cold water on her. She shrieked and moved away. She moved closer and reached around and turned it more it slowly became warmer. She never took long. She was done in 20 minutes. She walked out and stood on the white rug. She dried off and wrapped herself in a towel. She quickly got dressed before towel drying her hair.
Elijah heard her shriek and laughed. He knew it was the cold water. He finished and dried the dishes he had bought for Elena. He had planned this one night while holding her. He hadn't brought anyone her before, but was glad he brought her. All the dishes she used had been dried and put up. He went outside and sat on the swing. As he slowly swung himself as he thought about the night before. He had kissed Elena despite wanting to wait. He didn't mind he had enjoyed the kiss and knew she had as well.
He heard the water shut off and stepped back inside. He waited on the couch as she came down stairs. She was wearing her usual; Jeans and a soft shirt today it was blue. She sat beside him. "What are we going to do today" she asked. He smiled "Whatever you want" Elijah said.
Elena thought for a moment before answering "I just want to be with you." Elijah stood and crossed the room. Music started to play as he walked back to her. He held his hand out to her "Dance with me" it wasn't a question so she gave him her hand. Elijah pulled her up into his arms. She moved with him as they twirled around the room. Another song came on and they continued to dance. At the end of the song Elijah dipped Elena down. When he brought her up she was blushing.
Elena leaned into Elijah and rested her head on his chest. They slowly moved around the room as the soft music played. They stayed like that a few minutes after the music stopped. Elena smiled at Elijah after they stopped dancing. "What would you like to do know?" Elijah asked. Elena replied without thinking "That place you took me last night." Elijah scooped Elena up and she automatically wrapped her arms and legs around him. He again only had one arm around her, but he was holding her tightly.
Minutes later they were sitting on the hill. Elena looked around and took in the beauty for a long time. She finally turned to Elijah. He was leaning against a tree watching her. Elena smiled a little him and whispered "Kiss me." Elijah was at in front of her in seconds. Elena leaned in and her heart went crazy. Their lips touched and Elena pushed closer. She moved her lips with his. Once Elijah pulled away Elena was breathless. Elijah pulled her in his arms again.
They back at the house and in the kitchen. It was now lunch time, but Elena wasn't hungry. Elijah was going for a blood bag, but Elena stopped him. "Elena…" Elijah began, but stopped when Elena grabbed a knife. He stopped her immediately "What do you think you're doing" he asked in a worried tone.
Elena – "I want you to drink from me"
Elijah – "That is not going to happen"
Elena – "Why…? I know you won't hurt me"
Elijah – "How do you know?"
Elena – "Because I trust you"
Elijah – "That doesn't mean I'm going to drink your blood"
Elena – "You still haven't answered why"
Elijah – "I don't want to take advantage of you"
Elena "But I'm offering!"
Elijah – "Elena…"
Elena – "Please, It's got to be better than any blood bag you brought"
Elena looked at Elijah with hopeful eyes. She really wanted to do this. He sighed and she smiled softly. He let her have the knife back and watched her with curious eyes as she slowly slide it across her wrist. She hissed as it cut into her flesh. The smell of blood flooded the room and Elijah inhaled. Blood started to rush out of the fresh cut. It was deeper than he had thought she would go and might need his blood in return. Elena sat the knife on the counter and held her wrist up to Elijah. He took it gently and placed his lips around her wrist. Elijah was gentle as he sucked the blood from the wrist. He was more focused on Elena; he was listening so he would know if she was in pain. He pulled away when he felt he might be hurting her. He looked at Elena and she looked happy. He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at the cut. He hadn't used his teeth, but it was still bleeding heavily.
