Klaus woke up from the slumber. He left his silky gray sheets and went to the cabinet. He opened the first drawer and pulled out a pair of dark jeans. He slipped them on over his boxers and then zipped up the fly. He buttoned his pants.
Elena entered the room. Klaus was standing in the center of the room shirtless. Elena almost drooled over Klaus's body.
"Elena," Klaus acknowledged.
Elena moved her eyes from his abs towards his face. She bit her lip. "Hmm?" she asked.
"You need something?" Klaus wondered. He moved to another drawer and pulled out a brown long sleeve shirt. He slid it over his head and onto his body.
"Right," Elena said getting herself back on track. "Um I need your help with a few errands. If you don't mind."
Klaus stepped toward her. He looked at the girl, and smiled, "Of course, what do you need?"
"Oh," Elena pulled her hair behind her right ear. She continued though, "It's um Christmas coming up and well you know how I said I want to have a little ge together. Well we have a grand room for parties and we've never thrown a party. So I am setting up and I need a little muscle."
Klaus chuckled. He grabbed his coat from the rack and gestured his hand in the direction of the door. "After you," he so gracefully said.
Elena giggled. She walked past him but before she made it out the bedroom door she commented, "Who knew you could be a gentlemen?"
"Life can surprise you," Klaus added.
The two left the room and then went into the garage. Elena reached for the handle of the audi r8 but Klaus speeded in front of her. He opened the door before she had the chance to. Elena accepted his action and went into the car. She sat down on the leather seats. Klaus shut the door behind her and then entered the car from the driver's side. He inserted his keys into the ignition and then rotated it. The engine made a roar as Klaus opened the garage door and drove out of the driveway.
Rebekah sat at the bar. "Another round please," she told the bartender. The man nodded and then poured her another glass of whiskey.
She sat on a stool drinking. Her hair was all in her face. She wore a black leather jacket with a white tank underneath. She had on a long silver necklace. She wore dark skinny jeans that made her legs look fantastic.
"That bad," a man said from the other side of the bar.
Rebekah glanced up to see a tall mysterious man. She said, "highly."
"I see," he said. "You know, I have no wear to be if you want to talk."
"What makes you think I want to talk?" Rebekah.
"You're a girl and most girl's do," he noted.
"Good point," Rebekah commented.
The man shifted over to her side of the bar. He sat directly next to her.
"I'm Elliot," he said.
"Rebekah," she named.
Elena and Klaus were in a department store at the mall filled with decorations. Elena was standing so close to him without realizing it but Klaus didn't mind. "Look at these," Elena said. She removed wine glasses decorated in Santa's attire from a shelf. She held them in front of his face.
"Okay fine, but we'll need a hundred or two," Klaus gave in.
Elena smiled with gratitude. The two shoved a bunch of them into those little shopping crates you sometime get at those kind of stores. They moved through the store.
"So you've been around for a while you must some good Christmas stories. Care to share," Elena hoped.
Klaus shrugged, "Christmas wasn't that big after changing but two years before that it was a full moon so we had to hide. Rebekah pouted in disappointment. She through this huge fit about missing Christmas so when the night was finished the next day I brought in a feast. I said this was Christmas being as a family. All of us, one of the only times Michael didn't banter me. We laughed and we teased. The food was devine. At the very end of the meal, I left and came back with a gift behind my back. I held it and went up to my sister and then pulled into the front and her face lit up. She was so happy. I got her this bracelet made of jewels that I've collected my entire life. She knew what it meant to me and that made the world to her. Finn then came up and gave her a filfthy rock and told her it was some sort of token that symbolized the family. Unbreakable." Elena laughed at Finn's gift. "Don't because in a way for Finn it did. Unbreakable, Whole, Rounded, Lasting, and Together. The rock was our family. And for the first time ever I said Always and Forever. That Elena was my favorite Christmas."
Elena felt touched Klaus shared with her and they continued to shop.
"So then Elijah killed Kol without my knowledge," Rebekah descirbed.
"But didn't you want him dead?" he asked.
"I guess but in my family, death isn't normal. It feels as if we've been around for like 1,025 years."
"Awfully specific," Elliot noted.
"While that's just the kind of girl I am," Rebekah said.
Rebekah rose up and left cash on the table. "I should go," she admitted.
"You had a little to much to drink. I'll call a cab," Elliot insisted.
"Okay," Rebekah said stumbling to the door. Her balance was off but Elliot helped her up.
"You know my apartment's across the street it you want to sober up a bit," Elliot suggested.
"Are you trying to sleep with me?" Rebekah joked. She playfully slapped him with her black louie vuton bag.
"Worst? That's a tricky one," Klaus thought. He was walking with Elena still through the mall only he was caring a bunch of bags while she was walking empty-handed. "I would have to say; okay so you know those sliding trays at the morgue where they bodies on. Well twenty years ago, i brought this profound ginger there and,"
"A morgue? Wow. That's disgusting," Elena revolted.
"And you're so much better," Klaus provoked.
"With Damon in Stefan's bed weeks after the break up with Stefan. It was more cruel than worst," Elena shamefully said.
"Now that's horrible. You're a horrible person. I can't believe it. I'm astonished perhaps shocked," Klaus teased.
The two continued walking in the mall.
They stopped at a pretzel booth and Klaus paid for one. They split it because they both weren't hungry enough to eat one each. Klaus was eating it all so Elena shoved him away but he grabbed it from her. He held it away from her.
"Klaus this is childish," Elena acknowledged.
"Oh is it," Klaus raised his eyebrows.
Elena pressed her lips together showing her irritation but not entirely.
Elena and Klaus returned home but Klaus dropped her off and went to pick up his drunk sister from this random guy named Elliot who called him saying his sister was out of her mind drunk. Elena removed her coat and threw it on the couch. She thought how amazing the day was and that scared her. Klaus scared her but in a different way then how he used to.
Elena walked into the living room and found Elijah standing there.
"Elena, I'm sorry okay I should of told you what I was I doing," Elijah admitted.
"Yeah you should of," Elena confirmed. She stepped towards him. "You know Elijah you were always able to tell me the truth. Since the moment I met you your morality was the one thing I could count on. I just never thought that killing your brother in any way would be possible."
"I know but I he wasn't the best family," Elijah said.
"But you always seemed so dead set on the idea of family," Elena stated.
"I know, but right know Klaus and Rebekah are my only family," Elijah said.
"And what am I?" Elena asked.
"The narcissistic girl who knows how to get under my skin," Elijah confessed.
"Narcissistic, wow and you would never hurt any of us," Elena regarded.
"Not on purpose, I'm so sorry. You don't need anymore blood on your hands," Elijah confirmed. "Remember that time last year when we were looking off the empire state building and you were cold so this random guy offered you his jacket. I shoved him aside and gave you mine. That was the first time I realized that I wanted to know you. Elena, I'm so glad I did. I will never hurt you again."
"Good," Elena said. Elijah's words sounded meaningful, pure. She knew she could trust him but not sure if she wanted too. Elena moved closer to him. She rested her hand and his broad shoulders.
"Elena, what are you doing?" Elijah said.
"I just don't want to think for just a little bit. Will you help me?" Elena asked. She pressed her lips against his but he pulled away.
"Elena, I can't," Elijah denied.
"Why not?" Elena asked running her hand up his thigh.
"Please, don't. Okay I can't do this to Klaus," Elijah quietly spoke. His breath was loud and his body was forcing his self to resist.
"What does Klaus have anything to do with this?" Elena stupidly asked.
"You're kidding right. He cares for you like i've never seen before," Elijah said.
"I don't recipricate those so called feelings," Elena lied.
Elijah tried with every bone in his body to resist the temptation. He stood watching her trying not to be seduced. Elijah ran up to her and grabbed her face. He pressed her face to his. They indulged each other. Elijah lifted Elena up. Her legs wrapped around his body as he had her up against a wall. Elijah's touch felt warm to her. His smooth skin hitting every nerve in her body. He removed her from the wall and dropped her on the couch. She removed her top leaving her white laced bra in the mixed. Elijah went on top of her. Elena's hands slid his jacket off. Elena then rolled over to wear she was on top as she was almost sucking his face off. She unknotted his tie and flung it on the ground. Elena's nails tore his shirt off. The two rolled off the couch and onto the white rug. Elijah removed his slacks. Elena's legs wrapped around Elijah as his lips pressed against his neck. Elena felt the heat move her body. Her hormones raging. Elijah moved his mouth lower onto her chest. He embraced her with such a passion. Removing her pants. Elijah's hands moved up her boney back and unhooked her under garmet. Elena moved her hands through his hair. She was so into it then looked to her right and froze.
Elijah noticed and looked in the direction and found Rebekah and Klaus standing in the doorway. Elijah stepped off her body He grabbed his pants and slid them on. Elena took her shirt and put it on herself.
"Well this is a strange turn of events," Rebekah pointed out. She giggled and then crawled up the steps to her room.
Elena didn't notice Rebekah. She watched Klaus with a twisted feeling in her stomach.
Klaus glanced at her bra on the other side of the couch. It disgusted him. Klaus's body temp rose to maximum amount. But he just walked away leaving the two on the living room floor.
