Eat Me

Chapter 5: Avoid

Avoid

Two weeks later after Elijah's hectic college life had settled down, Elijah invited Katherine out to dinner. That was one of the things that Katherine loved most about Elijah he could be sweet, considerate, gentlemanly, and hot all at the same time.

Katherine had been staring at herself in the mirror when Jenna had told her that Elijah was waiting. She had bought a short, red dress and paired it off with black kitten heels that added the extra sexy that Katherine needed.

She walked down the stairs and immediately threw herself in Elijah's arms when she saw him. "You came!" he smelled like he always did a mix of mint and some other things that Katherine couldn't quite guess, it was scent of the cologne that Katherine had given him for his birthday.

"Of course I would come, silly." He said as he gave her a small, demurely kiss because Jenna was still looking at them with proud mom eyes. "I'll bring her back by eleven, Mrs. Pierce."

Jenna nodded as she closed the door behind them. "Be safe."

Now that they were in a parent free zone, Elijah gave her a deeper kiss, his hands around her waist. "Have I told you how beautiful you look in that dress?"

"No, you should." Katherine said half teasing herself, truthfully she was grateful for the reassurance. When she had bought the dress she had thought it hadn't looked that good, but Elijah's compliment had taken away all of the negative vibe.

So what if she wasn't a size zero? If Elijah said that she looked good, then she looked damned fine.

"Fine, you look incredibly sexy." Elijah started kissing her neck while slowly fondling her thigh.

"Parent zone." Katherine whispered back, she wouldn't put it past Jenna to be sneaking peeks through the window.

Elijah gave her a wicked smile. "Oh, right."

"Where did you two lovebirds go last night?" Rebekah Mikaelson, Katherine's best friend and Elijah's little sister ask as both she and Katherine exited the car. Rebekah was also a cheerleader and the reason that she and Elijah had started dating in the first place, she was practically their matchmaker.

"The Fountain." She said mentioning the name of a well-known restaurant in town. Elijah loved to spoil her. Katherine had been experiencing so much lovey-dovey feelings last night that she could hardly remember the conversations that they had.

Katherine missed having him right around the corner, but Katherine had been good last night she had ordered a simple salad and refuses dessert for herself and had only taken a nibble of a piece of Elijah's cheesecake, but only because he insisted.

Rebekah rolled her eyes, playfully. "Fancy." She let out a squeal as she grasped Katherine's arm. "There's Stefan Fell, my god have you ever seen someone some gorgeous."

Katherine turned in the direction that Rebekah was practically drooling. It was no secret that Rebekah had a crush on the green eyed, brown hair new boy Stefan Fell.

He was just getting out of his car and gave a small nod towards Rebekah and Katherine.

"He nodded at me." Rebekah practically fainted, she wondered how her friend could be so boy crazy.

"Rebekah, chill."

"Easy for you to say, you already have a boyfriend."

"Yeah, whose is miles away." Her gaze went towards where Stefan had left. "Isn't Stefan on the cross country team?"

"Yeah." Rebekah said confused. "Why?"

She tightened her grip on her purse. "No reason."

"Coast clear." Caroline Forbes whispered to Elena. After school they had drove towards a pharmacy ten miles away from Mystic Falls so that they wouldn't be recognize. Katherine and Caroline were the only ones that knew that Elena might be pregnant.

Elena held back a giggle. "Caroline, we're not stealing anything."

Caroline shrugged. "I'm staying in character. You get the tests, I'll make sure that no one we know is here." Elena nodded, grateful as she walked towards the aisle. She stopped short when she saw the aisle where the pregnancy tests were.

There were dozens of them as Elena picked up six random boxes, she needed to make sure that she wasn't pregnant. She bit her lip as her hand flew to her still flat stomach. "Please don't let there be a baby in here. Please, I'm not ready."

"We meet again." Amara raised her head up and saw Lexi smiling. She had been going over the lists of sports offered in the dorm's common room, but she couldn't think of one that she liked. Amara stank at sports, there was no other way around it. "What are you doing?"

"I need to pick a sport to keep my scholarship." She sighed. "And I need to decide."

"How about swimming?" Lexi asked. "Or golf?"

"Tried, all the spaces are full." She handed her a pink paper. "I could only choose from these left."

Lexi scanned over the list. "How about soccer? I can help you practice."

Amara bit her lip. "I don't know - "

"I actually came to talk to you about your roommate, Tessa." Lexi interrupted.

Amara raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" she had been avoiding Tessa.

"Yeah, not to spread gossip." Lexi's face hardened. "Long story short she can be really manipulate and selfish, just please be careful."

Amara nodded. "I will."

Amara's phone started ringing. "Let me answer that." It was a text message, she opened it and held back her breath. No, it couldn't be. Not Elena.

Lexi frowned. "Is something wrong?"

"You could say that." Amara said weakly. There was a text from her sister, Elena. It simply said: I'm pregnant.
