When Elena woke up her phone had been blown up with texts and missed calls. Why were they still worrying about her? It wasn't like Klaus was still after her... unless he found out she was alive, but she doubted it. "Morning beautiful" she heard. Elena smiled and scooted closer to the solid body of Elijah.

"Morning" she said as he draped his arm over her side. "It seems like you have other places to be today." Elijah said as he watched Elena scroll through her texts. She shrugged and turned her phone off "Today my plans consist of being with you." Elijah gave a low growl of approval. "I'd like that."

Elena fell back to sleep after a few minutes. Elijah just held her as she slept. He rather enjoyed being able to do this. He hadn't realized just how much he missed having her close, and now here she was in his bed. After an hour Elena stirred and moved, and ended up on her back. Elijah had to move with her in order not to wake her up.

The ending position was Elena on her back with Elijah lying beside her. He didn't like that he wasn't holding her anymore, but it also gave him the ability to move. He got up and started on breakfast. Elena joined him as he was flipping his last pancake. She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. "Mmmmmm did you make breakfast for me?" She asked.

Elijah moved and placed the pancake on the stake before addressing Elena. "What do you mean? This is for me." He said with a smile. Elena laughed and slapped him on the arm "Don't be mean." Elijah laughed as he pulled a chair out for Elena. She sat down and started to eat. She noticed Elijah wasn't eating though. "Uhh….?" She said gesturing to the food.

Elijah smiled "I haven't got the appetite at this moment." Elena nodded and continued to eat. The two talked about their week and how stressful it was. After Elena was done Elijah swept the dishes away and had them down before she could even get up. "Wha…?" She asked. She had planned to help, but he just did it super fast.

Elijah grinned "You said you wanted to spend the day with me, and it is not my intention for the dishes to be a big part of that." She bit her lip and let out a sigh and shrugged "Alright then." He smiled his usual smile before sweeping her into a hug and kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed him to pick her up.

He pulled away and looked at her and she mumbled "Are you hungry?" Elijah let out a moan, but said "No". Elena nuzzled him with her nose "Be honest." "I eat before I'm with you." Elijah replied. Elena nodded before latching her lips onto Elijah's neck making him moan just above a whisper. He let her do this as he moved one hand to her side and gently stroke her there getting a positive reaction.

Elena tightened her legs around him as she stopped kissing his neck and moved to his lips. His lips were incredibly soft and felt like clouds against hers. Elijah slid his tongue in Elena's mouth and was turned on by the way she accepted it in her mouth. She sucked on it for a bit before moving her tongue into his mouth. She could feel him against her and it felt good. Elijah moved them so Elena's back was against a wall.

Elijah moved his lips away from Elena's and trailed them down her jaw to her neck. He remembered when Elena said she liked having his lips on her skin. He moved his lips slowly over her sensitive skin on her neck. It made her moan and he loved this response.

Elijah trailed the back of his hand down the soft skin of Elena's arm as he continued to kiss her neck. "Elijah" Elena moaned as he kissed her neck. "Yes?" he replied taking a break from her now marked skin. Elena didn't say anything, but Elijah could see what was wrong. "Too fast?" he asked and again she didn't answer, but he gave her a smile "That's okay, Elena." She gave a weak smile as he backed away from the wall and let her feet touch the ground.

Elijah didn't break contact though. He placed his hands on either side of her hips and looker her in the eyes "What would you like to do now?" Elena bit her lip and shrugged "I'd like to go outside, I haven't really gotten to do that much." Elijah smirked and nodded "I can do that…. I have a acre of woods behind my house. Would you like to walk through it and just talk?" Elena smiled "Yes, I'd love to just take a moment and enjoy life."

It wasn't until that moment that Elena realized she didn't have shoes with her. Elijah had carried her here; she hadn't thought to grab shoes. She bit her lip. She felt like she had just ruined the whole plan. She turned to Elijah and told him, but he laughed "I'm not about to let this date slip away. Allow me to carry you?" Elena thought about it for a minute "Alright, Fine." Elijah had already changed his normal suit for a navy blue shirt and black pants.

He bent down for Elena and waited for her to climb on. Once she was in place he began walking. Elena laid her chin on Elijah's shoulder as they walked into the trees. "Have you ever walked through here?" Elena asked as Elijah walked gracefully without making much noise. "I have actually. I have a few favorite spots" "Can I see them?" Elijah thought for a minute "I'll show you one every time you come over. That way I know you'll come back."

Elena laughed and Elijah smiled "I love your laugh." Elena smiled and kissed Elijah's cheek as a thank you. They continued walking in a normal pace to his first spot. It was just like all the other spots. It looked like just a normal place. "Why is this one of your favorite spots?" Elena asked as she looked around not understanding. Elijah smirked before jumping and landing gently on a branch. He moved Elena so she could sit on the branch.

He sat in front of her and trailed his finger over a mark that was in the tree. "This is a date, 12/01/82. It was the day I first found this spot. I'm not sure why, but I love this spot." Elena smiled as she trailed her finger over the date "I made sure to re-carve the date every time I visit it." Elijah smiled softly as he took Elena's hand and held it. He began to explain how he found this spot.

"I was bored one day and my brother Niklaus was being a brat, so I walked out. I just started walking and this was one of the first places I found that I could find peace in. It was the first place I found where I could get away from my family. They never knew about this spot, I guess they just assumed that I was out partying or something. I love this spot." The whole time Elijah was telling his story Elena was smiling.

"Thank you Elijah for showing me this spot. I know it is important to you" as she said this she moved closer to Elijah and kissed him on the cheek. They stayed up there in silence for another few minutes before Elijah took Elena in his arms and jumped down from the tree. "So how do you keep up with where this tree is?" Elena asked. She didn't see any marker of sorts.

Elijah stopped walking at that moment he hadn't ever really thought about it before he just kinda knew where the tree was. "You know… I don't really know." Elena laughed "Alright." She leaned her head against his shoulder as he walked them back to the house.
