Philophobia: Mikaelson's Mate

I Still Hate My Job

Alaric then quickly raced outside to see Lexi and Klaus sitting down and talking. Alaric approached the pair and said, "As much as I would truly hate to break this up, 1 Klaus, you are way too old for her 2 Lexi, Meredith needs you inside."

Klaus growled at Alaric's interruption. It was the first time he had gotten to speak to his mate properly and someone whose body who he borrowed was now ruining it.

"It's fine. I'll come back, Klaus" Lexi said as she stood up and followed him inside. "What does Meredith need?" Lexi asked Ric.

"Uhh just go over and ask her yourself." Ric said hoping that it would be enough to get Kol's attention without putting his niece at risk.

As soon as Lexi re-entered the bar Kol's eyes were on her. Before Lexi could even reach Meredith, Kol came up to her and said, "You weren't even gone 10 minutes, darling. Did you really miss me that much?"

"Nope, just forgot my car keys in my locker." Lexi said trying to excuse herself past Kol to get to Meredith.

Kol didn't move away which only pushed Lexi closer to him. When he hummed in response to her statement Lexi could feel his warm breath fanning over her collar bone. When she looked up to meet his eyes she saw his cheeky smirk and realised he knew exactly what he was doing.

Lexi sighed and continued to push past him. When she reached Meredith she asked, "Hey, what's up?"

"Oh nothing I was just going to ask if you uhh had seen my uh- phone?" she said. It didn't take a genius to piece together that she was lying, "I think I left it at you and Ric's apartment."

Just as Meredith finished speaking, Kol appeared next to the pair and said to Lexi, "Found your car keys yet?"

"Yep" she deadpanned taking them out of her pocket and jingling them knowing very well he had just watched her not enter the locker room. 

Just as he was about to reply, Ric came up from behind Kol and daggered him, "Next time, take a hint" Ric said as he and Meredith moved his body away.

STUPID SCOOBY GANG SHIT

Lexi rolled her eyes before leaving, passing a very angry Klaus on her way out. 

-------------------------------------------------

Lexi Pov

Once I got home after my shift I got changed started working on some homework. After a few hours I decided to watch a movie and wait for Ric to come home. When it was around 2am I decided to call it a night so I texted Ric and then fell into what felt like a sleep induced coma.

-------------------------------------------------

For the second morning in a row I was woken up to the sound of a ringtone, this time it was my ring time though. "This better be life and death" I say having not checked the contact name.

"Lexi?" I hear Sheriff Forbes voice say.

"Yes" I respond.

"I need you to come down to the station"

"Why?"

"It's Alaric"

I fake a gasp, "Ric got arrested again, wow I am a getting crazy deja vu. Have I told you about the last time I had to bail him out? Crazy story it was aroun-"

"Lexi"

"That is my name"

"He's been arrested as a murder suspect"

Ah for fuc- 

"I'll be there soon"

Of course Ric had to get arrested.

I put on some bike shorts, sneakers and one of my ex-boyfriends hoodies (the only thing I got out of that relationship).

By the time I reached the station Elena and Damon were already there. "Where my uncle and his murderous tendencies?" I announce getting some judgemental looks from people around me.

As I arrived Elena seemed to get the final word with Damon in and then walked off. "Come on" he said before walking outside. When we got to the parking lot he asked me if I wanted to meet him and Stefan at the grill for lunch and talk about Ric's 'situation' which I agreed to.

-------------------------------------------------

When Stefan, Damon and I arrived at the grill I instantly noticed Rebekah talking to Carol. Lacking supernatural hearing, I couldn't hear what they were saying. When we walked past I smiled at Rebekah which she returned despite her nervous demeanour.

When Damon and Stefan started talking about how the victims were linked I zoned out not interested in the conversation. I was snapped out of my daze when Rebekah came up to us, joining our conversation. She sat down next to Stefan and me, Damon on my other side.

When they started talking about the Salvatore family history I kept quiet focussing on the drink in front of me. "Tell me more about your old relatives, I hear they tore down entire forest to build this town" Rebekah said.

There is no way she is actually enjoying this history lesson. 

Why is she so interested in this tree?

Why would an immortal care so much about a tree? 

Unless the tree would stop their immortality. 

Like a white oak tree

"Careful blondie, it's a brothers night plus Lexi and as much fun as this has been, you are treading in dangerous waters" Damon said as him, Stefan and I walked over to the dart board. Rebekah then followed us over.

As Damon and I were playing darts he asked, "So if it was Sage killing everyone back in 1912, who the hell is doing it now? It's not that psycho doctor fell. She's a woman, there's no way she could stab three grown men."

Rebekah then caught the dart he was throwing, "That's a bit sexist." Rebekah said as she handed the dart to me, smiling when our hands touched lightly, "A woman could easily kill a man, with the right motivation."

"Correction, no woman other than You, Lexi or Katherine could easily kill a man."  Damon said, correcting himself. I then collected my darts for my turn. Rebekah tried to hide her confusion as to how I could kill a man.

I zoned out yet again as I threw my darts. Only now noticing the effect the drinks were having on me. After my turn Damon who was familiar with my tipsy state placed his hand on the small of my back, guiding me to a seat next to Stefan. This action simply earnt him a harsh glare from Rebekah.
