28. The Mikaelson Ball

Maeve twisted around on the bed, getting more tangled in her sheets as she tried to reach for her phone. "Goddamnit!" she cursed as she lifted her upper body up by her hands trying to find her phone. She found it discarded on the edge of the bed. Maeve stretched her hand out to pick it up and pressed it to her ear, plopping her head back down on her pillow.

"Hello?" she moaned answering the call.

"Maeve! How fast can you get to the mansion?" Maeve pulled away the phone from her ear to check the time.

With a groan she began, "Rebekah? My sweet sweet beautiful original vampire friend...let me sleep, be merciful. Just because you have a tendency of waking up at ten in the fucking morning don't you fucking disrupt mine!"

"Uh! Just come here. I've got news." said Rebekah ignoring Maeve's words.

"I don't think I was clear, let me try again..." Maeve turned around again on her back and cleared her throat to sound less groggy, "for the love of Godric let me sleep!" she ended the call abruptly not waiting for Rebekah to say anything more.

After numerous attempts, Maeve couldn't fall back asleep. She laid wide awake in her bed, staring at the dull coloured ceiling. She stretched her hand out reaching for her phone.

"You are a bitch, do you know that?" she cursed into the phone.

"Always. Get to the mansion now."

"Order me breakfast. You owe me for waking me up." she grumbled ending the call once again. Maeve rolled over once again without checking her position on the bed. She let out a low moan as she fell face front of the floor, still tangled up in the sheets.

"God I hate this world." she dramatically groaned untangling herself from the sheets.

After many curse words and stubbing of toes onto various furniture pieces from sofa to chair to bed and stool by the kitchen, Maeve finally walked out of her apartment to get herself some breakfast that Rebekah must have had delivered.

Maeve parked her bike into the driveway and walked to the front door. She noticed a young delivery boy standing in the doorway and a man paying him off. "Hold on." she shouted. Maeve pulled out a 20$ bill from the pocket of her jeans and skipped ahead. She stretched her hand over to the delivery boy, holding out the money.

"I was about to pay." she heard Elijah state, who was holding the cash between his two fingers.

"I can see that. I asked for breakfast, I should pay." said Maeve and turned to the boy. She furrowed her brows seeing the boy's face had paled and was drained of any color. He lightly trembled, eyes frozen on Maeve. It took another second for Maeve to realise who the boy was and why he was so afraid of her.

"Hey! Aren't you the guy from the other day?" she asked. "How's it going man!"

"Uh...great. Enjoy your breakfast!" he started sprinting away from her.

"Take the money at least!" shouted Maeve. He turned around, fiddling with the keys to his bike.

"No worries. I──I uh...I got it. It's on me." saying this he drove off without so much as another look. Maeve snorted a laugh shaking her head.

Elijah stared at her bemused with her actions. Maeve took the breakfast bag from Elijah and sprinted inside the house trying to find Rebekah. She hoped that would avoid the conversation.

"Bekah!" screamed Maeve merrily seeing the blonde original sitting on the couch as a woman tended to her nails. Kol stood across from her looking at himself in the mirror.

"Maeve! How nice of you to join. Tell me how do I look?" Maeve eyed him carefully before she leaned closer to Rebekah and asked,

"Is his ego as big as Nik or bigger or smaller?"
