Chapter 7

Elijah helped Elena into the car as he went around to the driver side. He was known for his patience but he wanted to be with Elena more than just as they were. He however would wait for her to make the first move. He wasn't concerned with the idea she wouldn't return the notion he just wanted it to be what she wanted. Once Elijah got into the car he looked at Elena. She looked amazing as always and with her hair twisted up he could see the beautiful allure of her neck. He was even more satisfied he had eaten already or he might not be able to help himself. He swallowed a groan as Elena touched his hand.

"So where to?" Elena asked him smiling softly.

"I want to take you to Maxwell's. Its known for its incredible dinning and a perfect date restaurant" Elijah told her smiling.

"So I take it this is a date" she grinned.

"Why I believe it is" Elijah chuckled as he started the car and pulled into traffic.

Elena watched once more as Elijah moved through the traffic with little effort. They turned down Broughton Street in Historic Downtown, before parking the car. Elijah helped Elena out and Elena looked at the little building. It was trimmed in black paint with brick around the building. Above the door was a patio that had black wrought iron and a sign announcing the establishment. Elena smiled as Elijah slid his and around her waist and walked with her to the building. She expected it to be full of patrons but was surprised that there wasn't a single person aside from the staff. Elijah opened the door and Elena stepped in looking around. It was simply decorated and quite elegant in its décor. Elena looked to Elijah and was about to ask him if he had reserved the space for them but an older man appeared.

"Good evening Mr. MIkealson. I have your table ready" he told him motioning for them to follow.

Elena held on to Elijah's hand as they followed the man to the center of the restaurant. There was a beautiful table arranged with roses and wine. Elijah pulled Elena's chair out for her as she sat down. He followed to his own seat. Elena smiled as a waiter brought over menus for them to look at. Elena smiled as the waiter poured her a glass of red wine. The waiter left leaving Elena and Elijah to themselves. Elena looked over the menu and had quickly decided on Tender Waygu Ribeye stuffed with goat cheese and arugula, rolled in a savory herb and spice blend with roasted baby potatoes and a roasted red pepper and tomato relish.

"Do you know what you would like Elena?" Elijah asked her.

"Yes" she said and told him what she would have.

Elijah smiled at her appreciation for food and ordered the same. Once the order was placed Elena and Elijah were left to talk along with soft music which seemed to float through the air without trying.

"So Mr. Mikealson, did you plan all this?" Elena asked as she met his eyes.

"Yes, I know the owners of this establishment as well as the cook. I made a great investment with them many years ago and in return I pay a small amount when I need to use the restaurant for business or like this" he said motioning to them.

"Have you had many of these" Elena asked copying his gesture.

"No, I never really had much interest or time for that matter. But I am glad that you are the first of my personal matters" he told her as he took her hand into his.

"I'm glad that you could share it with me too" Elena said softly.

"So, are you enjoying savannah?" he asked her.

"Yes, very much so. I didn't know there was so much history here. I had an idea but spending time with you and seeing the things we did was just amazing" Elena told him.

"I do aim to please and history is a passion of mine" Elijah grinned.

"Tell me Elijah what else do you enjoy?" Elena asked him.

Elijah didn't know how to answer that question. He took a moment before he answered.

"Aside from history, I do enjoy art in every sense and reading. When you are as old as I am you tend to have read everything" he chuckled.

"How about you Elena?" he asked her.

"Honestly, no one has bothered to ask me that in a very long time" Elena told him her face falling some.

Elijah squeezed her hand assuring. Elena lifted her eyes to him.

"Well, I love to write, read, and I love music. I have found a new appreciation for history and art" Elena smiled at him.

"I am glad" he grinned back.

Suddenly the chef appeared carrying their food. He smiled at them both before setting their food down in front of them. Elena smiled and looked at her food. It was amazing the detail the chef put into the presentation.

"Thank you James. This looks amazing as always" Elijah said to him shaking his hand.

"Of course Elijah it was my honor. If you need anything else please let me know" he told Elijah before bowing and excusing himself from the table.

Elena smiled at the chef and looked at her food. Elijah smiled and they began to eat. The conversation was light while they ate. They laughed and talked of music. When the food was gone as well as the wine Elijah and Elena left hand in hand. Elijah helped Elena into the car and drove to Leopold's Ice cream shop. He had promised Elena ice cream and he was going to keep his word. When Elijah pulled up in front of the ice cream shop Elena smiled at him.

"You remembered" she said as he held her hand climbing from the car.

"Of course, I promised you ice cream and I always keep my word" he grinned as they went inside the shop.

After ordering ice cream Elena and Elijah took a seat on a small bench outside the shop and watched the people pass. Elena sat very close to Elijah and he held her close. They laughed at the melting ice cream and the stolen licks from each other's cones.

"Where would you like to go next?" Elijah asked her as Elena climbed into the car.

"How about for a swim?" Elena asked.

"I believe I am overdressed" he teased.

"I am too, but I believe its dark enough that no one would see us" Elena grinned.

"You are quite scandalous Elena Gilbert" he laughed.

"Yes I am" she laughed as Elijah pulled towards Elena's motel.

When they arrived they climbed out and made their way to Elena's room. She quickly opened the door and grabbed Elijah's hand pulling him in with her. Elena removed her shoes and went to grab some towels. Once she was done she slipped her key under the mat of her room and shut the door. Elijah smiled and followed Elena to the ocean. It was a small walk to to the beach but Elena was right on the darkness. It was dark enough that no one would see them and if they did Elijah would make them forget they did. Elena smiled as she sat their towels down and grinned at Elijah.

"Turn around" she teased.

"I am a gentleman of course" he said proudly and turned.

Elena quickly took off her clothes and ran into the water. Elijah heard the movement of her clothes as she removed them. He heard her breath as she ran and jumped into the water. He quickly removed his clothes and made a fast run to join Elena. Once he was in he dove deep and circled around Elena. He came up right behind her causing her to scream. Elena turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. Elijah pulled Elena closer to his body.

"This was a well thought out plan Miss Gilbert" Elijah said to her his lips just inches away from hers.

"I believe so" she said her voice coming faster as she closed the distance between them.

Elijah pulled her even closer as their lips moved in rhythmic passion. Elena wrapped her legs around Elijah's waist as he ran his hands down her bare back. She felt amazing in his arms. He wanted nothing more than her. They continued to kiss for some time before Elena pulled away.

"I think we should go in" she said breathless.

"I agree" he groaned as she kissed his lips once more.

Suddenly Elena found herself out of the water and in her room. She was going to protest about their clothes but she knew Elijah would get them before dawn. She turned back to Elijah and he pulled her into his arms. He picked her up carefully and laid her down on the bed as his body followed hers. Elena wrapped her arms around Elijah's body as he molded to hers. She felt her skin catch on fire with every touch and kiss. Elijah positioned himself between Elena's legs and met her eyes. With his eyes locked on hers he pushed and claimed Elena. She arched her back and Elijah captured her lips in a kiss as a moan made its way through her lips. Elijah took his time reveling in her touch and the feel of her wrapped around him. Elena kept pace with him as they climbed and finally crashed together in pure passion. They lay wrapped in each other's arms and drifted to close to sleep. Elena rested her head on Elijah's chest as he wrapped her safely in his arms. He was falling in love with Elena and he knew what a dangerous mix it could be especially for her safety. He also knew that she would have to go home to Mystic Falls. Was he willing to follow her? He knew his answer long before it entered his mind. He would follow her anywhere she asked, but did Elena feel the same? Did she know how much power she had over him? Elijah closed his mind and drifted to sleep with the sound of Elena's heart in his ears.
