Complicated

Chapter 8 - Season 2

I was lay in bed this morning just looking out of the window and admiring the trees. I was going on my first date with Elijah this morning and Damon was going to be helping Stefan with saving Elena. I rolled over and checked the time on my phone, almost having a heart attack when I realised I only had an hour until Elijah would be picking me up. It was already 11am, I didn't realise I had lay in bed watching the world go by for so long. Jumping out of bed I switched the shower on, whilst waiting for it to reach the perfect temperature I quickly brushed my teeth. The shower was quick, it had to be because I needed to get started on my make up and hair. As I was doing that I was thinking about the day ahead. Elijah was taking me to an art gallery before taking me out for dinner. My make up was finished as I had done a red and black smokey eye with winged eyeliner, with pencil liner on my water line, topped with mascara and finished with an ombre black lip with red in the centre. My hair was intricately pinned up and curly. I rushed over and pulled out my black bell sleeved dress that came down to midthigh with a V-neck. I quickly pulled on my boots and checked myself over once more in the mirror before slipping my phone, I.D and bank card in my clutch. Checking the time quickly before closing my bag I made my way downstairs knowing I only had a few moments.

"Well don't you look divine" Damon's voice sounded as I walked into the living room. Looking up I gave him a shy smile.

"You don't think it's too much?" I did a little twirl before looking at Damon again.

"Not at all Angel. You look perfect." Damon came and held me by the shoulders, making sure I knew he was serious.

"Thank you my love" I whispered softly, leaning up and giving him a featherlight kiss.

"So what are you and Mr Original getting up to today?" Damon asked as he pulled me against him.

"Well, we are going to an art gallery and then he is taking me to dinner" Damon went to say something in reply, when he was cut off by a knock on the door. Taking my hand he gently took me to the door and opened it.

"You go and have fun with your other soulmate. I love you" Damon said, kissing my cheek and gently pushing me towards Elijah.

"I love you too" I called over my shoulder as I placed my hand into Elijah's.

"You look absolutely stunning my dear, are you ready to go?" Elijah asked, shamelessly letting his eyes wander over me as he did.

"Of course I am Elijah." I gave him a soft smile and quietly thanked him as I slipped into the passenger seat of his car. We were only a few minutes into the journey when I turned to him, "so tell me something about yourself Elijah".

"Well what would you like to know?" he countered.

"Everything and anything" I teased; I watched as his lips pulled up into a smile before he gently took my hand in his.

"Klaus is not my only sibling. I had five others. Freya died before I was born. Henrick died just before my mother made us into vampires. He was the reason she had done it." Elijah said quietly, I could tell he loved his siblings very much.

"Who's your favourite?" I watched as a look I didn't recognise passed through his eyes at my question, but I didn't push it.

"Rebekah by far. She will love you when you finally meet. She's always wanted a sister and I think she may just find one in you" I smiled at his words.

"Well in that case I cannot wait to meet her. So I've heard stories of the originals growing up, but I never knew what your last name is" I watched as he pressed a small kiss to my knuckles, keeping a firm yet gentle grip on my hand.

"Mikaelson. Elijah Mikaelson" I hummed before looking out the window.

"What about you darling, do you have siblings?" Elijah dew my attention back to him.
