Chapter 2
The next day I wake up with a headache. I look around and I see Damon in the other side of the bed and I start to remember the events from last night. I look at his phone and it is 7:43 so I get up and start to look for my clothes and I start to walk out of the room. I knew Damon is probably awake but it's not like it hadn't done it before and we both knew there was nothing to talk about.
I open the front door of the house and I walk to see Jenna and Elena turning to me.
"Good morning." Jenna says not bringing the fact that she knew what had happen but I know someone was about to.
"Where here you?" Elena asks.
"Out." I simply say getting to the starts.
"I can't believe you slept with Damon again." She says getting angry.
"I do what I want you don't need to lecture me." I say turning to her.
"You know that it is just sex you know." She says and I roll my eyes.
"No shit Elena. Why because everyone knows that he loves you."
"Yes because of that. He is not going to be yours; he loves me, not you." She says and I start to laugh, typical Elena.
"I don't want him. Never did. Like you say and it has the only smart thing you said in the last 24 hours. It is just sex and I am more than ok with that."
"I can't believe he sleep with you again." She screams at me and I could see it was more her being jealous that anything.
"He is a free man. He can do whatever he likes." I say and I turn walking in direction to my room I get in a more comfortable clothes and I go to Jeremy's room where I end up falling asleep.
I wake up again feeling better but now with I am hungry so I get off bed and walk to the kitchen.
Once I get there I find the place empty and I look over to the kitchen clock to see the hours. It's 10:34. That explains why there is no one in the house. I take 3 oranges and make some natural juice and then I get some cereals and put them in a bowl. I take my breakfast to the living room where I sit watching the news on TV.
In the middle of program I hear the door knocked. I get up and open it to see Mrs. Lockwood in the porch.
"Mrs. Lockwood, good morning."
"Good morning Daniela." She says nicely.
"I'm sorry but Jenna isn't at home."
"It's ok, I didn't come speak with her actually I came to speak with you. Can I come in?"
"Of course." I say and we both enter the house. "I am sorry for my clothes, I just got up."
"It's ok don't worry." She says offering me a smile.
We both sit in the couches in the living room.
"Jenna told me last night that you were in tows and I calculate you know about what happen to my son, Tyler?"
"Yes, I know what happen."
"Well, I would like to absent to go meet him and I would want someone responsible to take care of my work so I thought that maybe you Daniela would be the better choice."
"I don't know about it. I don't plan to spend more than one week in here." I say now with me professional voice.
"Please, I will not stay away for more than 10 days Daniela. I would like a lot to visit my son." She almost begs and I take a deep breath.
"Ok I will, for 10 days."
"Thank you so much." She says very happy. "I will leave you now but could you pass by my office still this afternoon?"
"Yes I can, I will be there around 2:30" I say accompanying her to the door.
I found myself at home again so I get ready for the day. I take a quick shower and I put on a red silk blouse and a pair of black pants paring up with Christian Louboutin black pump. (The link to the look is at the ebd of the page) I look at myself in the mirror while I put a simple lips gloss on and I give one last look at my hair. I look over the clock and it is almost twelve so I still have time to go to the grocery shop.
At 2:31 I am knocking at the Mayor office's door and in a few seconds Mr. Lockwood opens the door to me and gives a sign to come in. I sit in the chair in front of her with just her simple desk separating us.
"Thank you for accepting my proposal. I believe that you would like to know who things work."
"Yes I would. It's not a job that I am familiar with."
"Well besides me we have 3 other workers, Collin, Mary and Patrick. Normally, at this time of the year everything is quite but in case of an emergency you can always contact me. Everything you need you will find in the shelf."
We talk for a few more minutes about the work and more information she need me to know and then she offered me a coffee. Now, we are both enjoying a calm coffee at the grill.
"Mrs. Lockwood. It is a pleasure to see you again." A very educated voice says and I turn to see who the voice belongs too and I found myself controlling to not open my mouth. He is tall, with very dark hair and very nice dressed compliments her. Damn, I always loved a man in a suit. He turns to me and I could see some surprise when he looked.
"It is nice to see you again." She says to him.
"Elijah Mikaelson." Damn what a voice. So this is Elijah, I believe someone forgot to mention the fact that he is freaking hot.
"Daniela Gilbert." I say and he blinks his eyes. "I am certain that you didn't hear about me."
"No she didn't." He says still looking at me.
"I can't say the same but it is nice to meet you." I say still looking at him.
"I have to go, it was nice to see you Daniela." The mayor says finally breaking our contact.
"Of course. It was a pleasure seeing you too." I say to her and she leaves.
"May I?" He asks referring the chair here Carol was sitting before.
"Be my guess." I say and he sits.
Elijah P.O.V.
I am walking in direction to Mrs. Lockwood, the mayor because I need to talk to her but when I approach her I notice she is with someone. A girl with long wavy down hair is sit with her backs turn to me.
"Mrs. Lockwood. It is a pleasure to see you again." I say capping the attention of the other woman.
"It is a pleasure to see you too."
"Elijah Mikaelson." I introduce myself, looking at the beautiful woman in front of me. She defiantly is new because I can't remember seeing her.
"Daniela Gilbert." She says surprising me. Gilbert. As in Elena Gilbert. "I am certain that you didn't hear about me."
"No, I didn't." I say still surprise by the woman in front of me.
"I can't say the same but it is nice to meet you." She says and I look at her beautiful eyes. They are green but with blue around. They were so captivating, so beautiful. In all the years I have lived I never saw a woman with such stunning eyes.
"I have to go, it was nice to see you Daniela." Carol Lockwood says getting up.
"Of course. It was a pleasure seeing you too." She says making us realize we were not alone.
"May I?" The words come out without I realize it that I was speaking.
"Be my guess." She says and I sit in front of her. She probably doesn't know about me so well because I can't see her letting me sit with her peacefully besides there was no similarity with any of the Gilbert brothers without counting her brown hair.
"I have to ask. Which is your connection to the Gilbert's?"
"I am Jeremy and Elena, half-sister." She says. She is obviously older, probably around 25/26. Even if her eyes are look much older, like she has been through something that made her grow up faster. "I would ask you the same but I already know." She says almost showing a smile.
"And yet you are still sitting with me." I say challenging her.
"I am not causing any treat to you besides I don't believe you would kill me in such a public place." She says with a treating but funny look and I see her see acting like someone with her age for the first time.
"You are right. In both." I say offering her a smile.
"I like to believe that most of the times I am right."
"You like to be right."
"I like to know that I am right. When I say something, it is because I believe in what I am saying." She corrects me. Who is she? She definitely isn't like the other 25 years old girls.
"What brings you to town, college vacations?" I ask, trying to find more about this girl.
"I don't go to college in for 6 years." 6 years, that is impossible, that would make her be around 29, there is no way she has 29.
"Drop out." I observe but she gives a look that says that I am wrong.
"No. I love to much the college life to give up." She says but I keep not understanding. "I went to college with 16." That makes more sense. "Have you ever gone to college?"
"No never. I just visit but that does intrigue you so much about college?"
"The capability of learning."
"Learn?"
"Yes, normally it is what students do in college. There is nothing like learning."
"So you would return to college?"
"More than one time. But not everyone has the opportunity of leaving forever."
"You say it like it is a good thing."
"It depends how you spend your time, your forever." She says like it was a simple thing.
"Eternity it is a long time just to learn."
"Learn it's eternal. But you are right, there is so many other things to do."
"You have a different way of speaking, you are very different from"
"My sister." She concludes. I say something in her eyes, maybe sadness, I could read it because I went to her normal look again, that for it looks like, it is not expressing too many feelings. "We are very different people."
"I can understand that, very well." I speak thinking about who different personalities me and my brothers have.
"Family is an interesting concept."
"What do you mean?"
"We can chose them but it doesn't matter what happens we can't let then go." She says and I see very well written sadness in her eyes even of it only last a few seconds.
"You speak like you want to let then go."
"Don't we all want, sometimes?"
"I can't speak for everyone but I can give my point of view and it is pretty clear what I think, you are right." It is true. It doesn't matter who terrible mine and my brothers actions are, deep down, all we want it is to be a family again but I still don't get it, why she thinks like this. "So besides philosophical conversations with completely strangers what else do you do?" I ask her trying to unveil the dilemma that it is Daniela Gilbert. Beauty and intelligent that it is all I got. Very beautiful actually.
"I am a woman of very hobbies." She says and I swear I see a smirk on her face. "But enough of talking about me besides resolving familiar conflicts what else do you like to do?"
Speak about her. We barely spoke about her. "It has been a while since I have done something that I like to do." But I have to admit, this is very pleasant.
"Maybe you just need a push." She says and then looks at her IPhone. "Shit." She says to herself. "As much I like this conversation I am afraid that the real world needs me." Real world? She gets up and I do the same. "It was very nice to meet you."
"The same." I say kissing her hand and for the first time I can hear her heartbeat getting faster. It is nice to know that I do have some effect on her. When I separate my lips for her softy hand I feel her eyes one my lips and then on my eyes, it was like fire. If I had a heartbeat I am sure it would be like hers. Suddenly she gets back to her look impossible to read.
"I should go. I hope to see you soon." She says almost professional.
"Me too." I say giving her the same tone. She intrigues me so much. Daniela Gilbert, what mystery this woman is. I think to myself was she leaves.
