"You mean something to me. Don't you?" He whispered into my ear as we danced. I nodded slowly. "Is that why I keep seeing you? Feeling this? Elijah has spoken of something similar wi...
Staying at the Bennett' has proven to be nice. Although, Bonnie didn't seem to like me one bit. Probably from being connected to the Mikaelson's. Niklaus hadn't done anything yet, but that changed rather quickly as the month came to an end. A letter was taped to my window when I woke up. Getting up and popping the window open, I reached around, pulling the letter down and closing the window.
Reasons I love you #1: You are the kindest person I had ever met.
I stared at the small note. He loves me? I shook my head taking a breath and placing the note on my nightstand.

Getting dressed, I walked out of the room to see Bonnie standing there. She rolled her eyes and held out a note.
"What is this?" I asked, looking at the small note.
"It's from Klaus. I told him I'd give it to you, I did. I'm done." She huffed, walking away. I furrowed my brows at her and opened the note.
Reasons I love you #2: You sacrificed your life for someone you didn't even know.
I smiled at that. He was talking about when I first died by the paws of a wolf. I had prolonged Henrik's life for another few years. I folded the note up and placed it into my skirt pocket. I walked into the kitchen, grabbing a mug for some coffee when I noticed the back door also had a note. How many notes am I going to find today? Walking over to the door, with my fresh coffee in hand, I opened the door, grabbing the note and relooking the door.
Reasons I love you #3: You are probably wondering how many notes I have left you now.. Well there's many reasons to love you. Just ask your many soulmates. They all love you as well. My third reason is that even though I scared you in the past, you have never truly feared me.
I laughed at the fact that he knew what I was thinking. I pocketed the note and drank my coffee as I walked into the living room. Sheila smiled at me with an all knowing look.
"Bonnie told me a certain original is trying to get your attention. Should I be worried?" I shook my head at her with a smile.
"No, he isn't going to harm anyone..He's just-"
"Trying to woo you?" She asked with a smile. "I may be old, but I'm not naive. Do you think it'll be enough?" I shrugged at her.
"I haven't a clue." She nodded, walking to the bookcase and pulling out a large parchment of some sort. And walking it over to me.
"This is from him. He dropped it off at an ungodly hour this morning." Sheila told me with a raised eyebrow. I took the parchment which turned out to be a canvas. An oil painting exploding in colors all over it. My breath caught in my throat at the beautiful colors. A bench under a lamp post. Simple, yet beautiful. A note was tucked into the wood behind the painting.

Reasons I love you #4: You may not notice this, but this is a bench that was placed where I first saw you. Not met you. Just saw you. Where the woods once was, a street now lays. See if you can spot it. Breakfast awaits..
Breakfast? How does he know this is where he had first seen me? I can barely recognize things in this town from our past.
"You wouldn't happen to know this Bench, do you?" I asked Sheila looking up at her. She had a smile and shook her head as she walked away with a teacup I didn't notice in her hand before. I sigh and grabbed my keys from the table, sliding my jacket on and heading out of the house. I sighed as I saw a note on my windshield of my truck.
Ps. I love you, Frankie.
I smiled at the small note, pulling the others out of my pocket and placing them in the compartment in my truck. The painting was in the passenger seat as I started my truck and took off.

It took a short time to find the bench. It was near the Mystic Grill and Henrik was sitting on it. I pulled the truck up, parking it on the side of the street and getting out to see him standing up.
"Frankie!" He said with a huge grin on his face.
"Did Nik put you up for this?" I asked him, crossing my arms as I looked at him. He gave me a sheepish grin, shrugging.
"I was told I get to have breakfast with you and I was definitely not going to say no to that." He admitted, wrapping his arm over my shoulders as he led me to the Grill. "Besides, free breakfast. Who could resist?"
