From another World, meeting you

Trouble in Paradise?

Ella POV:

Elijah left me alone when his confidant asked him for a four-eyeconversation that gave me the opportunity to look around. Elijah had books in various languages, I recognized a few Dutch and also a few German titles, but most were written in other languages.

I tried to distract myself, I didn't want to think about why Edward had called me Mrs. Mikaelson and Elijah hadn't corrected him.

"I am very sorry that I thought of her companionship, for her wife," I heard Edward say to Elijah, either the two were close enough to hear them, or my hearing improved. Elijah answered something but I ignored his answer, my gaze had fallen on a book, it was written in my mother tongue and was based on the title, of the legend of the companions.

"I can send for a translator for the book" Edward offered me, he and Elijah had re-entered the library, Elijah watched me with a slight grin on my lips. "That's not necessary, my mother tongue is German," I replied to him, to which he looked at his sir in amazement. Elijah, on the other hand, did not hide hise-amusement and released his butler from his duties for the evening. Was Edward his butler? His girl for everything?

"Do you find it funny to let him run up like this?" I followed Elijah, to which he looked at me innocently, "I don't know what exactly you mean," he answered me in an innocent tone as he looked at the book that had caught my attention. "You know exactly what I mean,"I imply to him as he appropriated the book and opened it.

"I have no idea what exactly you mean," Elijah continued to play the innocent, he had not reacted to the fact that his co-worker thought of me as his wife, and then he let him run up by offering me a translator for a book that was my mother tongue, which Elijah knew.

'First of all, you don't think he thinks iam is your wife, unless You're a woman. Has a different meaning and then you don't enlighten him about the fact that I'm very capable of reading German and grin you!" I explained him slightly annoyed, even though it wasn't really necessary.

Elijah looked at me now, "Grin me one?" he quipped, how should I explain this to him? I didn't really even know what that meant, but I wouldn't hang that on this guy's nose. "An expression that is used when some people are stupid, even though they aren't and still find it funny," I explained annoyedly, wondering for the umpteenth time, what exactly had my heart thought of sending me butterflies? Why? I didn't feel any attraction to this man, he looked good, yes, I wasn't blind and certainly many would kill to be in my place, but I just wanted answers. Understand how I ended up here, what this time meant and what my heart had thought of waking butterflies in my belly. How stupid was my heart?

He had fallen in love with Hayley and wasn't someone who quickly fell in love.

"Do you tell me that I'm making fun of you?" Informed Elijah himself played astonished, I took the book and left it standing, I had not yet got to know his "funny" side, so I could add that he had humor. But I didn't like his humour because he didn't seem to take me seriously, or it was because his employee, whatever Edward was. "It's not nice to take a book out of someone's hands," Elijah remarked next to me, "It's not nice to make fun of others either! Especially not if someone doesn't even speak English as long as a certain vampire!" I annoyed him, why did he annoy me? Was it because I was tired?

Or because there was so much uncertainty in my non-existent life?

"Should I hurt your feelings..." Elijah wanted to apologize, but I interrupted him, "You didn't do anything, I hate it when you make fun of me or pretend I speak Chinese."

Elijah looked at me in amazement, of course he didn't know how it was true when others made fun of you when you said a word wrong.

Elijah POV:

Ella left me standing and went into the kitchen with the book in her hands, the only part of the house that wasn't covered with sheets, Edward had prepared the big bedroom and brought both Ella's and my bag there. I honestly didn't even notice that he thought she was my wife, but Ella was preoccupied with the fact that she had probably subconsciously communicated it to me.

In the spacious kitchen, I found Ella with the book at the kitchen table, carefully flipping the pages while she read the contents of the book.

"Do you want to eat something?" I asked me if she was hungry, Ella looked at me, "I'm not hungry," she answered me, and turned back to the book, I sat down with her and folded the book.

"I'm sorry if I gave the impression of making fun of you, that was certainly not my intention," I apologized to her, to which she did not respond.

It wasn't until after an eternity that she looked at me, "Whatwas your intention?" she paused and sounded suspicious, had they used to make fun of her? That would explain their reaction.

I didn't want to patronise Ella, so I didn't tell Edward that her mother tongue was German, "I didn't want to patronise you," I told her, and she looked at me even more suspiciously. As if she couldn't believe I didn't want to patronise her.

"Don't patronize?" Ella quipped, and didn't seem to believe me,but what she would find in the book about the meaning of the runes would change the connection.
