I'll try to update every day a new episode airs.

"So, Hayley has a boyfriend...," Elijah trailed of as he and Rebekah entered his bedroom.

Rebekah chuckled and shook her head. "This whole drama between you two is gonna happen all over again, isn't it?"

Elijah put his bags down on the bed, "What drama?" he questioned. Rebekah sat down the bed and gestured Elijah to sit next to her, "Well if you must know, you and Hayley fell in love the first day you met. Like when Hayley and your first version met 18 years ago so to say." Elijah settled down on the bed next to Rebekah. "She never told me anything about that in France," Elijah murmured.

"Yeah about that, how exactly did you meet again in France?" Rebekah asked curiously, softly tapping her hand on his leg.

-flashback-

Manosque 18 months ago

After five songs Elijah decided to finally approach the brunette that had been glancing his way at least 20 times since she arrived, when she thought he wasn't looking.. He did notice and what he saw was more than pleasant. She couldn't have been a local, there is no way he missed that olive brown skin and hazel eyes before.

Under a modest applause he retired from his piano and moved to sit on the unoccupied bar stool that was next to her. "Enjoying your stay in this petite village so far?" he started. He heard her breath hitch in her throat when she heard him. She turned to look at him and her eyes widened. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Elijah apologised quickly.

She shook her head, "No it's okay, you just sound like someone I know, or used to know," she trailed off, her big eyes still watching him closely.

"Well, I noticed you watched me play and I don't often see an exquisite beauty like yourself around here, so I couldn't stop myself from coming over here and introducing myself. "Elijah said holding his hand out, "I'm Elijah,"She paused for a moment before taking his hand, "Hayley," she said shaking his hand, while a tiny smile crept up her face.

"So, Hayley do explain how such a lovely lady like yourself found herself in our beautiful village, "Elijah said smiling.Hayley chuckled while tucking a stray of hair behind her ear, "You're quite the complementing type, huh," Hayley remarked.

"Oh this is just a start," Elijah replied, "if you'd allow me I'd like to show you, under a drink, how much of a complementing type I actually can be" He finished before holding his hand out to the waiter.

3 hours later

The lock opened after three minutes of fumbling at the door and several pieces of clothing being torn off in the process. They stumbled into Elijah's dainty but humble apartment. Hayley was pressed up against the wall as quickly as the door closed. Eager lips ghosted over her lips and skin.

"Elijah..." Hayley breathed against his lips, "this is just for tonight, okay. After this we're not seeing each other again," Elijah nodded quickly, not even hearing her words as he picked her up and gently settled her on the bed, moving to press his mouth under her bellybutton and working all the way up to her lips. Then lifting himself up to look at her, "For god's sake you're beautiful," he mumbled, his hand caressing her face. Hayley pushed Elijah over, moving to sit on top of him, "shut up," she replied quickly, pressing her lips to his, shutting him up with a searing kiss.

12 hours later

"Unbelievable, it's noon and you are still here, laying in my bed,"

Hayley groaned as she heard the male voice and a cold hand softly rubbing over her back. As she opened her eyes she was met by a warm smile from Elijah who was sitting next to her on the edge of the bed, his arm draped over her back.

She rubbed her fingers over her eyes, "if you hadn't insisted on wearing me out with that fourth round last night, I would've been long gone."

"Well, then I'm glad I did," Elijah said, cupping her neck and bending down to press a kiss to her mouth.

Hayley started to unbutton his crisp white shirt, "how about a fifth round," she asked playfully.

Elijah took her hands from his chest, and placed a kiss on each knuckle, "how about we go outside first and breathe in some fresh air. Maybe eat lunch at a terrace with a nice glass of wine,"

She withdrew her hands, "You know what I said last night," she murmured as she turned to look at him, "this was just for one night,"

Elijah shook his head and smiled, "And yet, like I said, you're still here in my bed. Don't deny me, Hayley you can't, I'm just way to handsome"

Hayley hid her smile in the pillow before crawling onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, "fine, but first I'm gonna take a shower," Elijah stood up with Hayley in his arms, his hands under her butt, supporting her. "and you're coming with me," she said mischievously before ripping his shirt open. Hayley kissed him again before they both laughed as their foreheads rested against each other, and Elijah led them to the bathroom.

-flashback -

Rebekah chuckled and shook her head, "She really thought she could stay away after seeing you again. All this time and she still doesn't know better." Elijah frowned, "What do you mean?"

Rebekah held her hands up, "It's up to Hayley to reveal everything that you guys were to each other. But honestly you guys have been head over heels with each other since the day you met. After everything you went through, you always ended up together," Elijah smiled.

Rebekah saw his grin and shook her head, "I'm not encouraging you right now, am I?"Elijah tilted his head, "Hmm, maybe. A little," his grin turned into a smile revealing his teeth.

She tapped on his leg before standing, "Well, just don't tell Hayley this is my fault, but honestly you're much better for her than that Declan guy," she caressed his cheek for a moment, before pulling him up to stand. "I'm glad you're home, brother." Rebekah said, pressing Elijah into a warm hug.

I wanted to evolve the story in the present and at the same time show the story of Hayley and Elijah in the past, so that's why I added the flashbacks. Please let me know if you want to see more of the flashbacks or rather that I focus more on the present story. Thanks for the great response so far!
