My love will never die~Chapter two.
Evanna smiled at Klaus as she took the piece of paper from the man, "Oh thank you Klaus, of course!" She responded, she definitely was not expecting him to do something like that. Was he flirting with her or was he just being friendly? She wasn't too sure but she did think he was a lovely person so she assumed that she would find out eventually. "It's no problem at all Evanna, you seem like a great woman." He said with a cheeky grin across his face, she blushed at his compliment. "I guess I will see you around Klaus." She said in a soft tone as she unlocked her apartment door, she was not going to invite him in this time. Besides she had work in the morning so she needed to get some sleep.
A couple of days went by before the pair heard from eachother, Evanna was doing her best to resist texting him first. It wasn't that she didn't like him she just didn't want to seem too desperate or too forward. She was just about to leave for lunch when she picked up her phone and texted him, "Hey Klaus, I really appreciated your kind gesture the other night. Thank you again, Evanna." She hit send and put her phone into her handbag and left the office.
A few minutes later her phone rang, she pulled it out and answered it. "Hey Evanna, It's Klaus. I'm extremely sorry for not contacting you sooner but some things happened at home with family." He apologised with an explanation, he felt awful for not contacting her sooner, hell she could have moved on and forgotten all about him in that time frame for all he knew but thankfully she did not. "Oh it's alright Klaus, don't worry about it. I completely understand." She replied with an uplifted tone in her voice. "Thank you for understanding, anyways..." he paused slightly. "I know it is short notice but I was just wondering if you would like to go for lunch today?" he asked as he bit his lip nervously, hoping she didn't think he was the type of guy that would just pick her up and drop her again whenever he felt like it. Evanna paused slightly, she wasn't clear if his intentions were actually pure. "Oh umm... yeah that sounds cool. I'll meet you at café de roux in about ten minutes?" she suggeseted, because of the short notice she was not going to let him dictate everything. "Yes, that sounds absolutely perfect! I will see you then." He said with a big smile on his face and hung up. She was really looking forward to seeing him again, afterall the last time that they met she practically had beer goggles on she thought to herself.
Evanna walked into the small restaurant and found herself a table with two chairs, she sat down and picked up a menu to pass the time while she waited for Klaus. However, after the inital ten minutes another five minutes passed and then another five minutes. Had she been stood up? It seemed so. That was until a figure came behind her, "Hello Evanna..." He said in a low tone, she was almost too frightened to turn around. "Oh it's just me." Klaus laughed slightly, it had definitely not been his intention to scare her. "Oh it's alright, is everything okay?" She asked. "Oh yeah of course, don't worry sweetheart." Klaus smiled, he had some family stuff but he didn't want her to get involved in anything that she should not know about just yet. "Good." She said softly with a small smile across her face. Klaus sat down across from her and picked up the menu, "How has work been?" He asked as he looked up over his menu. "Oh good thanks, kept busy which is never a bad thing." She laughed.
A couple of minutes later the waitress arrived over with her notebook and pen in hand, "What would y'all like today?" She asked in her chirpy southern accent. "I will have a chicken wrap and soda please and thank you." Evanna told the waitress. "The same for me please." Klaus smiled and handed both menus to the waitress. The young woman walked away to take the order to the kitchen for the chef to prepare. Klaus focused on Evanna for a few seconds longer than he really should have. She was far too much like her, he had to find out even if it was possible that she was related to her. "So Evanna, tell me about you." Klaus smirked slightly. "Oh sure, I lived in Atlanta,Georgia. Moved here literally as soon as I turned eighteen in an attempt to get away from my adoptive parents. They abused me from an early age so the quicker I could get away the better. I started here as a secretary for the law firm that I work for now and they were kind enough to put me through university to become a lawyer." Evanna smiled slightly, her adoptive parents had put her through absolute hell back in the day when she lived with them, something she would make sure her own future kids were not put through. "I never found out who my birth parents were, I do know that my mom was a cop and she was from a small town but her parents thought that my dad wasn't good enough for her so that's one of the reasons I was put up for adoption. That and my parents were still in high school at the time." Evanna said and looked down. "It's alright love, I'm here for you." Klaus whispered and took her hand in his. "Thank you Klaus. I really appreciate it." Evanna smiled weakly.
After they had spent lunch together Klaus paid for their meals and left a generous tip, he did want to make sure to impress Evanna from the beginning. "Thank you Klaus, I appreciate that." She smiled at him, she really did appreciate the kind gesture.
Klaus walked with Evanna back to the office she worked in. "I would like to see you again Evanna, possibly even make this a regular thing." He suggested as they stopped near the front door of the building. "Me too." She smiled and bit her lip. Klaus leaned in slightly and smiled, "Yeah." he whispered before kissing her, he really liked her and she was definitely falling for him.
