Alright this chapter might be short because I just got done with the SAT test and my brain is kind of fried. But I got a message asking for an update on my Salvatore sister story. I'm not sure if this the one they were talking about but hey at least I publish. And here it is baby shower part 2 there might be a part 3
I woke up in the morning to someone holding me in their arms. I furrowed my eyebrows and turned around to come face to face with Elijah. His eye were open and he was watching me.
"Were you watching me sleep?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"Yes." He responded and kissed the tip of my nose.
"That's creepy." I said scrunching up my nose.
"It's romantic."
"No.... it's creepy." I said and got out of bed. rolling my shoulders I walked over to the walk in closet.
I turned around to see Elijah leaning again the entrance to the closet and already dress.
"uh no." I said walking over to him and taking off his suit jacket. I then started un buttoning his shirt taking it off.
"Clara." Elijah said giving me a confused look. "What are you doing?" He asked though he didn't stop me from taking off his clothes. I was about to pull down his pants before deciding they made his butt look good so they could stay. I looked down at his shoes and shrugged. they could stay as well. I looked up to Elijah to tell him what I was doing but was interrupted when his lips landed on mine.
I was pressed against the door wall and let out a surprised hmph. I placed my left hand on the back of his neck to balance myself. When he pulled his lips away I stared up at his with wide eyes. Elijah was looking at me and I placed my right hand on my lips. I blinked quickly a couple times and patted his bare chest with the palm of my right hand.
"Good morning to you as well." I said and walked around him to grab some guy clothes I had bought for my brothers but never got around to giving them. Grabbing a black shirt and a using Elijah's suit jacket I pulled on a quick shirt and a pair of pants.
I then moved Elijah into the bed room and handed him the shirt. when he was pulled the shirt over his head I watched as his muscles flexed. when his shirt was completely on and my fantastic view was gone I walked over to him and wrapped the jacket around his shoulders.
"I have a question." Elijah said as he slide on the jacket for the second time today.
"I might have an answer." I said and Elijah walked closer to me and trapped me against the wall.
"Who is this friend of yours?"
"That is a long story. the short version is she is my old friends daughter, Janice. That said friend was someone who tried to kill me the first time we met. and when said friend died I moved away to go find my brothers. boom answered the question." I said and ducked underneath his arm
"Another question, why are you avoiding me?" Elijah asked with a serious yet confused look on his face.
"I'm not avoiding you." I scoffed and Elijah walked closer to me but I took a step back making his stop walking towards me.
"Yes you are."
"I have no idea what you are talking about." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yes you do."
"Well isn't this a kerfuffle."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Answer the question clara."
"I'm not avoiding you. I am just keeping a safe distance so when the heartbreak comes it wont be as bad." I said shrugging my shoulders walking to the door.
Elijah appeared in front of me and gently placed his hand on my cheek.
"Well, there's one fault in your plan clara." Elijah said and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"And what is that?" I asked.
"I'm not going to break your heart. But you're going to break mine if you run away." He said and I tilted my head to the side watching him.
"I'm not running. I never run. you know how much work that is?" I asked his seriously. "I'm way to lazy for that." i rolled my eyes playfully and Elijah smiled down at me.
"Prove it."
I raised an eyebrow at him and walked around him then stood in front of him again.
"And how exactly am I supposed to do that? Come on we have to go." I said and grabbed his hand heading for the door.
"Clara." Elijah said and pulled me to a stop.
"What?" I asked.
"For getting something?" He asked and looked down at my feet. I looked down to see I didn't have shoes on.
"No." I shrugged and continued to the door. When I got there I slid on my flip flops. That's fun to say, flip flops. Flip flops. Flippity flip flops. Flop flop flippity. Ok I'll stop.
Time skip
When I walked up to Janice's house I knocked on the door before shoving my hands in my pockets. When the door opened I saw an older Janice with a big belly. It looked like if I poked that big balloon in her stomach she would explode. Which would kind of awesome and not awesome at the same time. Actually no it wouldn't be awesome. I might get blood on my shirt.
"Wow, did you eat a watermelon seed then go hocus pocus?" I asked Janice and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Good to see you too, Clara." Janice said and sassyily placed her hand on her hip.
"Really? I thought seeing my face would be something terrible." I smiled brightly at her. "All the black mail I have on you I thought you'd never want to see me again."
Janice let out a huff and glared playfully at me. She then turned her attention to the guy behind me.
"You must be who has somewhat had calmed her down. I'm Janice. Nice to meet you." She held out her hand. Elijah shook it and Janice's eyes widened just slightly. She looked at me. "Nice" she whispered. She looked him over quickly. "How the hell?" I shrugged my shoulders in response.
"I don't know. He says he likes my personality." She looked at me terrified.
"How?"
"That's what I was thinkin!" I threw my hands up.
"I'm Elijah." Elijah said and Janice bowed her head in apology.
"Sorry, Elijah, it's been a while sense I've seen clara. Every thing seems to be slipping my mind at the moment. Please. Come in." She moved to the side and Elijah and I both walked in.
"That's quite alright. And also I find her sarcasm and bluntness quite charming." Elijah said and buttoned one of his jacket buttons and then adjusted his sleeves. I reached over and un buttoned his jacket. He looked at me in amusement.
"I think she's finally found someone good for her." Janice mumbled.
"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow at her.
"Nothing." She said and then one of her sister came over with a baby in her hands.
"Clara!? Wow, you don't look different at all. Reminds me when I was 17." Ellen said and I smiled at her.
"Yes. Vampire. That's what we do." I shrugged placing my hands behind my back. The one thing I like about this family is that they don't greet me with a big hug. I don't like people touching me. Well I'm getting used to Elijah touching me. But that's something i think I live with.
"Right. I forget sometimes. Maybe it's because you don't try to eat me." She smiled. Then looked over to see Elijah. "Oh, hi. W hi might you be?" She asked.
"Elijah. Nice to meet a friend of clara' s " Elijah said and they shook hands. When their hands touched I couldn't help but laugh a little at how big her eyes got. She even took a step back.
"Your." She started then stopped. Looking at me I smiled at her. She looked at Janice and she did the same. "Clara's boyfriend right?" She asked instead of saying original. It was my turn be surprised. I started choking on air.
"Yes." Elijah said ignoring my coughing except placing a hand on my back. He was enjoying this way to much.
"I'm Ellen. Janice's sister." She said then seemed to snap out of it. Turning to me she held out her baby to me. Out if instinct I held what ever Ellen handed me. If I saw something being handed to me I couldn't help but take it. "This is Rene she's 3 and a half months old." I looked down at the thing and pulled my head back away from the baby. It looked up at me and its tan skin went well with its green eyes.
"It's she so cute?" Janice asked.
"Cute." I said in a monotone.
"Hey. I need to grab some more ice. Could you hold her while my sister and I get some?" Janice asked and I just nodded my head making sure to not turn my eyes away from the witch baby. Who knows what it could do.
"Be careful it might eat you alive it you look it in the eye." Elijah whispered in my ear and I glanced away from the child to glare at him.
"You're not funny." I huffed.
"You know I would say such things if you weren't practically glaring at the poor thing." Elijah said still whispering. Someone then walked over to us. She had really dark skin and had grey hair mixed in her brown hair.
"Hi, I'm the town mayor, Karen. I don't thing I've seen you guys around here before. Are you two new?" She asked and I reached my right hand out to shake her hand. When she touched my hand she didn't know whether to be shocked, angry, or act normal. She was obviously a witch.
"Actually I've had a place around here for about 75 years." I said then added. "I'm Clara." The shock washed right off her face and she smiled at me which was not the reaction I was expecting.
"Ah yes clara! I've heard a lot about you. And you must be her husband? Boyfriend?" She asked Elijah.
"Boyfriend." He said and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Well it's nice to meet you two. I've finally got a name to a face." She laughed and then walked off.
"I didn't think so many people would know about you, in this town." Elijah said and I shrugged. "Clara?" He asked and I was looking down at the baby. It giggled up at me and I reached one finger down to stroke its head. Its little hand grabbed my finger and held on tight. "Clara? Are you alight?"
"It's actually kind of cute." I whispered and Rene giggled again tilting its head and looked into my eyes.
I guess it's not as bad as I thought it was.
