SECRET | Elijah Mikaelson [2]

hi

Klaus was walking on the streets with a cell phone to his ear when he hang-up and Zoya dumping garbage in a bin. She was now dusting her cloth as she looks around. Her eyes follow him and she wondered what she can do. Ignore him? Maybe Mohinder was right we were never a good friend nor also a good enemy there were several times we fought but you were gone and he does what he could have done. He shows far more charity for me. Let him happy.
she gave him a gentle smile and move to her own path to his shop.
"what the hell was that?" she got shrieked as he scared her by his presence "smile and walk away. What I am tourist?" he was still stunned by her behavior.
"Uh hi,"
"Don't shove that on my face. Where the hell are you these days?"
"Just looking around,"
"Your clothes were taken off from the wardrobe. Then out of all, you don't pick up that brick "he toys with the phone and threw it on the road. "Klaus" she looks at the phone turned into two pieces of nothing
"I will get you a new one. Answer me where?"
"I..I... I," he glares, "I shift to a new place,"
Confusion caught him and his rage got vanished "shift. to. a. new. Place" his eyes squeeze and anyway his voice was normal "what shift? I thought it was a matter of few days. You would have come back to compound?" he studies at her for an answer.
She answers sound oblivious "Klaus I couldn't have stayed there forever?". He asks instantly as he got no idea why she is so like this "why not?"
"because its" he rose eyebrow "yours, your family" she shuttered
"Yours," he mocks but sound hurt "great you got one of your fits again,"
He remains silent but furious as obvious. which makes Zoya uncomfortable "Klaus, you must understand-"
"Don't. Don't lecture me about that" Klaus notice Zoya frown and her attempt to snap her own fingers "does Jackson know?"
She hums "not much overjoyed, but he accepts,"
"of course the bayou lover will love French quarters? Not his standard,"
She wants to say 'its mean' but decides to not let fuel him more. Klaus controls his resentment to learn what else is more going to stun him. if she is like that on her own for a week. Her smile and racing away is enough evidence of his dumbness of letting her step out alone that night.
"let's go grab us espresso," he looks her up and down "and maybe some shopping,"
"Maybe some other day. I-" he cuts her midway "your voice making me angry. so, you better shut up," he took her arm, almost dragging her.

Klaus was yelling at himself for dragging her for coffee because she let little on her life. Somehow turned smart. But the worse part when he struggled to take her out to buy her new phone. She chooses the worst and cheapest. Even tried to pay for it. Even tried to pay for lunch, but he never allowed her. What most shocking she didn't ask about his life as if afraid, like meeting the first time. The first time they have met was even better than now. Now the fear of lone-ness gave him more dread feeling after seeing her.
They both reach St. Anne's church as she got tired, and she needs silence than the loud music outside Klaus excuse himself for a call.
He moves to give space in her silence as a hang-up. he heard the voices of Hayley and Elijah coming from the gym. And for sure, the voice was not sinless.

she was tired of waiting for a call maybe have more pressing matters and incase he already left. She gets up and saw Klaus looking at something, but as he heard her footstep, he moves toward her carrying a smile "it's a very boring place. Let's leave let me show my arts"
she smiles for the very first time naturally "you despise showing me art" she heard some voices coming from. he muttered low "it's far better than this". His muttering gets her out of her state. she asks "what?" but her eyes were focused on something she caught.
he tried to humor "there is the naked man inside doing gym. Winna peek?"
"NO" she turns away and covers her eyes and starts walking opposite. Klaus covered her hands on her eyes to dragging her out.
as they step out of stained. He removed his hand and look ahead breathing the air. He notices her rubbing her eyes "what happen?"
"something stuck in my eyes" she moves away from him "give me a minute". She instantly wipes her tears and breath out air and inhales a new one by relaxing but that releases more
"you fine?" Klaus asks from behind. she shut her eyes and control her voice "Yeah" she turned and look at the cotton candies in her hand. she looks up at him with a smile "I am fine. And I like blue not pink"
he ate a bit of both "they both are just sugar, not much of a flavor" she saw a small cloud stuck to his cheek making it pink. "you got a bit on your left cheek" he tried to wipe it but very smartly smudge it making Zoya snorts. He glared at which she held up hands in defense "wait" she digs her hand in a bag and hands him a napkin. he was going to rub but she holds his hand "stop" and pull out a water bottle. she slightly opens the cap and dumps it. "now" she snatches the napkin and wipes it.
her hand halts for a second as she can feel him watching. Klaus phone rings again making him scowl. "I go dispose of this" she walks to look around for a bin while Klaus talks. she knew it was something about Rebekah. she disposes it in a bin and looks at Klaus still talking and decides to wait till he gets done with the call. She looks at her own phone hoping she gets any call regarding her stay. After Hyde the apartment is not a choice for her. she has placed some requests here and they're encased they got her something. She would have apt to work in university but right now there is not much out there. Luckily this night she won't have to spend on the streets as she got this job in a nightclub at the building by Hyde's partner as back staff looking to accounts and various behind-the curtains jobs.
what you have to drag yourself in Zoya. what I am doing falling into this trap of what? Hitting door to door. In this New Orleans. why I am here?
it would have easy if I just go get myself a ticket and in one go, I will be away from all this. At least not these problems seeing him every day with Hayley making out, become Klaus charity, Jackson burden, giving the illusion to them that they could have life on their own choice. Achi khasi zindagi barbaad kar di tune zoya.na Ghar ki Rahi Nah Ghaat ki(you ruin your own life Zoya. now you got nowhere to call it home) she facepalms and felt the urge to hang herself.
she heard the throat cleared out and drop her hands "done with the call" she turns but finds Elijah standing there. with the same shirt, she saw hanging in the gym. This time she didn't felt the urge to cover up her eyes and shed tears like a few minutes ago.
she was passing by unfeared as badly tired from herself "I guess we start wrong foot" Elijah's words stops her.
"forgiven" she spoke low but calmly making Elijah understood she heard. she moves to the side to go look for Klaus
"Can I buy you coffee?" she this time looks at him and for sure she knew it's not about coffee or his guilt. He has some motive. a very damn motive to plan this .apology and coffee
"I am getting late"
"okay so about drink ?bourbon?" see I told you he got something on his mind
"I have my job at night hours"
"tomorrow lunch ?" god he irks me now
"fine at noon. At Rousseau"
he smiles "sound pleasant. see you then." She lifts an official smile and he walks out in his suit
