~Holly~

I smiled at the man before me. He was tall and handsome. Dark brown hair fell in long wisps down his head, hanging to his chin. His eyes were a gorgeous dark brown. His lips were full and pink, beautiful and desirable.

"Hello, my Lord." I said, giving a slight bow. He was one of two Lords that lived here in the Mikaelson manor.

"Hello, Ms. Davis. Are you enjoying yourself?" He asked me. He took my hand in his, bringing it to his lips for a kiss.

"Yes, my Lord. I am having a wonderful time, as I hope you are." I offered a smile, twirling slightly in my black and blue dress.

"I would be much better if you would dance with me." He said, smiling.

"My Lord Elijah, are you sure it is okay?" I asked, mouth slightly open in a gasp. I'm sure I looked like a fish gasping for breath. I was surprised, though, that Elijah Mikaelson wanted to dance with me.

"It is perfectly fine." He said. He rested one hand on my waist, the other interlocking our fingers together. I put my free hand on his shoulder, letting him lead in our dance.

"You look beautiful tonight." He said softly. His brown eyes were locked onto my blue and grey ones.

"Do I not ever look beautiful?" I responded, a slight smirk playing on my lips.

"You always look beautiful." He replied, face soft with an almost loving gaze. A blush appeared on my cheeks. Elijah Mikaelson was flirting with me.

Elijah and I danced the night away. Eventually, I grew tired. He didn't look tired, but he showed me to my room anyway.

He stood by my door with me, making sure I was safe. I smiled as I opened my door slightly.

"Thank you, for tonight. It was the most splendid night I've ever had." I said, smiling.

"I also had a great time. I'm glad you enjoyed it." He said. He picked up my hand, kissed it, and let it fall back to my side. "Good night, Holly."

"Goodnight, Elijah." I whispered, blushing furiously. I turned and disappeared into my room. Leaning against my door, I bit my lip with a smile, swooning.

I was for sure falling in love with Elijah Mikaelson.
