Beauty & The Beast

Eleven

As they pulled back up outside of Elena's house, Isaac kicked down the kickstand as he turned off the engine. He pulled his helmet over his head as she did at the same time. She climbed off the bike and handed him the helmet. "Thanks for today," she smiled, "I really enjoyed it."

"I could see that," he smiled back at her, "I've never seen you do something so daring like that before, what made you do it?"

"Well," she shrugged her shoulders, "I know that it sounds lame but when I saw Rose and Jack do it on Titanic it made me want to do it too. And they were right, it did feel like as if I was flying. I loved it."

"I could see that," he nodded with a smile.

"And it made me feel for the first time in my life," she smiled, "It made me feel free. Like nothing was on my mind. For the first time in a long time, I didn't think about my mom, about what she went through, and the fact that my dad was alone. I felt for the first time that I was free."

"Good," he smiled once more, "I'm glad that I could help."

"Now," she smiled small, "I kinder need you to do something for me."

"What?" He frowned.

"You see, my dad said to me earlier," she told him, "He said that he wants to meet you."

"No, no, no," he shook his head, "Not gonna happen."

"Isaac, please," she pleaded, "My dad really wants to meet you, and he's not like what Damon said that he was."

"And I know that," he replied, "It's just that parents and me don't exist. I get nervous around other people's parents, I don't know how to act around them."

"You don't have to act differently around my dad," she reassured him, "My dad is a nice guy and he's nothing like you're parents. And he did kinder say to me that it wasn't an option, he had to meet you, that it wasn't an invite for dinner it was him telling you that you had to come. You see, he wants to meet the guy who is spending a lot of time with his daughter and he wants to see if you're good enough for me."

"Elena," he sighed softly as he looked around before his eyes returned back to her, "But what if he doesn't like me? What if he says that I'm not good enough for you? I don't know what I would do without you, you're the only person that I can tell my secrets to, you're the only person that I can be me with without being judged."

"Just be yourself," she told him with a smile, "The kind, caring and honest person that you are. You don't have to be something that you're not around my dad, well, except the whole wolf thing but you know, you as a person, as the human Isaac. Just be yourself."

"I don't know if I can do this, Elena," he panicked, "I mean, one look and your dad will know that there is something wrong, he'll sense it, all parents sense when something is wrong."

"Just go in there with confidence, Isaac," she told him, "Just go in there with the confidence that you're gonna impress him by being just yourself."

"But what if I do something stupid?" He asks her in a panic as his eyes wander around, "What I end up saying something and he blows my head off with one of the guns that he has to protect his horses, I mean, I know that I'll heal from the whole thing but it's just-"

Elena reached up to his neck as she placed her fingers on the back of his neck, she pulled him down towards her as she crashed her lips against his. His eyes wide with shock as their lips connect with each other but soon closes them when he realises what's happening. His hands were hanging by his side not knowing where to put them. With her other hand Elena reached toe of his hands and placed it on the small of her back as she pushed it down softly to her buttocks, she placed her hand on top of his as she clenched his hand causing him to squeeze her buttocks. Smiling into the kiss Elena slowly pulled away from him and looked up at him, he had his eyes still shut with the smile on her face widening. "How do you feel now?" She asked him. Isaac slowly opened his eyes and gazed down at her with shock, unable to believe that she kissed him. He slowly pulled away from her with a confident smile on his face.
