Unfortunately, I forgot to tell my mother I was heading out, and as I stepped into the house I could hear loud chatter.

"What was that? Was that the door? Was that Grace? God, I'm going to strangle that girl. Stay there Simone, I'll gettit. No, IM getting the door."

She walked into the hallway just moments later with a concerned look on her face. The expression turned from worry to anger as soon as she glimpsed my face. I focused my eyes on the ground below me.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? I was worried sick about you! Do you know how late it is young lady? One minute you were holed up in your room watching movies, so I thought 'Oh I better not disturb her.' And the next thing I know its what?" She looked at her watch, "Eleven o'clock and you walk in the door in a little black number and heels!"

I smile at her weakly. "I'm sorry mum, I didn't mean to scare you. I guess I just lost track of ...everything."

Simone stood behind Mum and smirked at my weak explanation. I threw one of my heels at her then started walking over to my bedroom.

"I'm sure all you need is to have a good night's sleep and you'll realise that I am eighteen years old now, and I could've left this house 2 years ago, says the law.."

My mum frowned up at me. "Get to your room young lady! You're grounded!"

I huffed. "Funny because I'm already in my room, and wow REAL mature Vanessa!"

I promptly slammed my door before I could hear another word out of her. Sure, I hadn't told her where I was going, but I wasn't a little girl anymore. However, she doesn't normally deal up harsh punishments like this, so if I just act 'good' for the next day or two I should be un-grounded by Monday.

That means no time with my friends tommorow though. I groan and lay down on my bed. I'd already organised with Tyler to go for a run, and we were both really wanting to get fit lately. Sadly, he was about 500 times faster than me though, so always he runs with me for about half the route and then speeds off when I get tired.

Being grounded means no seeing the Mikaelsons either, as it's not like they go to school or anything, so I could only see them in the weekends. That means I would have to last a few days without setting my eyes on Kol again, talking with him gave me the giggles even thinking about it.

I sat up. Snap out of it Grace. He may be the most perfect human being you have ever seen, but wait no- he wasn't even human. He was just as bad as Klaus or Elijah, even if he did seem a lot more caring. I got ready for bed and then crashed onto the mass of pillows. Maybe I just need to spend more time with him, before I make my decision as to whether I would pursue him further. Deep down, I knew my mind was already made up.

The next day consisted of texting Tyler and sulking in my room. I could hear my stomach grumbling but I was too stubborn to leave my bed. At about 12:30, my mother came in with a plate of food and a kind smile.

"I'm sorry for being so angry last night. You just need to understand that I don't know what I'd do without you. I was worried sick."

She looked up, hoping I would rush over and accept the apology. But snce that didn't happen, she just carried on talking.

"Well, I brought some food in for you, I don't want you starving to death in here."

She walked out the room, closing the door behind her, and I sighed. I had already forgiven her awhile ago but I enjoyed just staying in my room in pjs all day.

I then looked out of my window, it was raining, foggy and cold - running in this weather would be horrible. As I peered through the trees I could make out a single figure standing outside our driveway. I squinted, trying to make out what, or who it was.

I found out exactly who HE was when he yanked open my window a second later. I squealed and pulled my blanket over my body as the cold air and rain poured into the room. I also squealed because I was only wearing a thin pj singlet and tiny shorts, I felt exposed as he peered into my room.

Kol smirked at me, the rain glistening on his cheeks. "Well? Are you going to invite me in love?"

I rolled my eyes and pulled the blankets up further under my chin. "You may enter Mr Mikaelson."

He jumped inside, vaulting the windowsill like a young boy and then slammed it shut with a bang.
Kol then started pacing around the room, admiring my CD collection and tiny TV. He peered along my bookshelf and winced as he saw my old twilight stash.

"Really? And you live in a town full of vampires? Your fantasies must've been ruined in a flash." He smiled wickedly.

I couldn't help but laugh at his comment, his smile infectious.

"I guess you could say so, as none of you really sparkle in the sun.... and I'm guessing you don't survive on animals either?"

He grinned. "No, unfortunately not. I really have no idea how Mr Salvatore manages it."

"I guess it's his love for Eleana that keeps him going." I looked down to my hands, knitting my fingers together like I do when I'm nervous.

In a flash he was sitting on the bed next to me. He took my hands in his.

"They're ice cold. I'm sorry for the entrance. I should really use the front door next time. This way just seemed a bit more.. exciting." He looked up through his hair and into my eyes with a cheeky grin.

His accent just made everything he said more worth listening too ugh. It's like he had a spell on me.

"I-it's fine" I look down and let my hair fall across my face.

He lifts a hand, unsure, then brushed the loose hair to the side of my face, revealing my flaming red cheeks.

His face then moves closer to mine and I can feel his warm breath against my lips; my heart skips a beat. As he softly pulls my chin up so our lips align he whispers quietly:

"Tell me if you want me to stop."

Every nerve in my brain and in my body tells me to yell out, to scream, to push him away, explain that I couldn't and wouldn't be with a bloodsucker, that it was dangerous, and way too strange. I knew that like his brothers - he had flaws. He was arrogant, irrational, and had little respect for basic human life. Why is it that all I see is the good side of him? The kind, caring, and very attractive side.

My heart told me what to do.

I nodded and his lips slowly grazed against mine. So soft, so warm. His tounge traced my lips, asking for entry, and I obliged. He intertwined his fingers in my own, and every single doubt left my mind, I felt so at ease with him. I wanted to stay here forever, in this exact moment, with this exact guy. I felt the safest I had ever been. Sadly, the kiss lasted for only seconds. He sprang up in an urgent manner, leaving me with a dissapointed expression. What did I do?

He smiled and said

"Your mother."

He then knelt down, pressed his lips to my hand, and disappeared. The window closed behind him as Mum sprang into the room.

I was mad at her for ruining the moment, but a part of me was relieved that I didn't have to go against my gut instinct any longer.

"Not hungry I see?"

I smiled and shook my head.

"Sorry, waste of food I guess."

She walked out of the room with the plate she had brought in earlier, and I laid back into my bed, thinking about the last five minutes. Wondering if I had made the right choice.
