(Ep-3)

(Heart of stone-iko-playing)
—Kol, in his real body, laid with his eyes open as he laid on his side in the air B&B bed in Chicago. He looked next to him at a fast asleep Mariah, laying facing him. Kol smiled at her, gazing at her, observing every little detail on her face. Her hand laid on the pillow between them. Kol gently grasped it, pulling it off the pillow and holding it in his hand. Mariah still laid fast asleep. Kol caressed her hand lightly with his hand as he smiled at her. His eyes filled with love and light. That's what they were filled with every time he looked at her..since the moment he saw her. He raised his hand, still holding hers in his other hand, gently moving Mariah's hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear so he could see her face better. He placed his hand back into hers, continuing to hold it when Mariah opened her eyes slowly, her eyes fluttering open and shut as she took in everything around her. She looked at him and smiled softly

"Hi" she whispered. Kol smiled bigger

"Good morning, gorgeous" Kol whispered back making Mariah smile

"How long have u been awake?" She asked, her voice slightly groggy as she held his hand back. Kol continued to gaze at her like she was a literal angel

"Only..." he took a breath "three hours" he answered with a smirk. Mariah looked at him with raised brows and a smile. She chuckled

"Have u been laying there that whole time?" She asked. Kol smiled bigger at her. He shrugged

"I like looking at u" he answered. Mariah smiled softly

"U know that's a little creepy right?" She teased. Kol smiled and shrugged

"I've been alive for a thousand years, and I am immortal, and ever since I met u, all I wanna do is look at u and all ur beauty" he told her. Mariah smiled at him. She leaned in and kissed him for a moment before pulling away

"Ur lucky I love u" she whispered—

Mariah walked down the streets of New Orleans alone. She had a coffee in one hand and her phone in the other, pressed against her face

"Davina. Call me. I'm serious. Ur not safe. I wanna help u" she spoke as she walked when she spotted Kol, still in Kalebs body, standing a few feet away. She stopped walking when she saw him standing, leaning against the wall of a building and gazing at her from afar with a smile on his face. Mariah sighed "just call me" she spoke through the phone again before hanging up. She sighed, putting her phone in her pocket as she started to walk again, ignoring kols presence. Kol started to follow her with a smile

"Do u remember the day we met?" He asked. Mariah furrowed her brows

"Hm...u were dead and i siphoned ur magic from u to open the casket with ur mother inside it so she could kill ur brother?" She asked with a sarcastic tone, continuing to walk and not turning to look at him as he walked next to her.

"From the moment I saw u, all I've ever done was look at u, gaze at u and all of ur perfections" he spoke with a smile on his face. He chuckled "in my thousand years, I have never wanted to stare at someone so..much.." he spoke when Mariah stopped walking and turned to look at him

"Is there a point?" She asked. Kol looked at her, not answering as he smiled at her. Mariah gave him a look. Kol smiled

"Point is...I love u" he told her, gazing at her "and not a moment working with my mother, a moment in the dead, or a moment without u has or could ever change that. Darling, I know ur angry..."

"I don't wanna talk ab it" Mariah interrupted, putting her hands up as she turned to walk. Kol grabbed her hand and pulled her back to face him

"Mariah" he spoke, looking at her. Mariah looked down at their hands intertwined before sighing, looking away. He sighed "if u can find a way to put me back into my real body, we can be free of my mother"
