A Love Thats Meant To Last

Chapter Eight

I woke up to voices calling my name. I didn’t want to see anyone, not after what Klaus did… so I got up, cold and chilled to the bone and ran. I ran and ran until I saw a clearing and noticed I had run all the way to Tennessee. I heard someone following me and I pushed myself harder. I ran through the mountains until I felt someone grab me and it caused me to fall. I groaned as I sat up and saw who it was and my eyes grew wide. It was Klaus. I flinched as he tried to grab me again. “What are you doing here? I left. You’re going to kill me aren’t you… because I’m not good enough for you?” I asked stepping away. Klaus had hurt written all over his face. “Bella… I’m sorry. Ok, I was wrong…” “You told me to leave… you didn’t want me anymore. I was just some play toy to you wasn’t I? Just some weak pathetic thing to mess around with and when you didn’t want me you threw me out. Just like Edward.” I hissed as I felt tears in my eyes again. “No, love… you aren’t some play toy… You are not weak or pathetic… I do want you… it’s just… I have a hard time loving someone because I was never shown love…” He said as he grabbed my hands. “You broke my heart Niklaus… just like him… how can I trust you again. I don’t think I can love again.” I whispered. I ached for Klaus but how could I trust him after what he did. He reached up and gently wiped my face off. “We are just the same… We can work together… just the both of us.” He said. I looked up into his eyes and noticed tears were in his eyes too. “Why… why did you say those things to me?” I had to ask. He frowned. “Because I was scared to lose you… I didn’t want you to leave… I thought I could keep you happy… but I was wrong… I hope you can forgive me soon.” He said. I felt like my heart couldn’t take it anymore and so without even thinking, I grabbed his face in my hands, and kissed him. His lips resisted at first and then I felt them melt into mine. His rugged strong hand reached up and tangled into my hair and I felt the rumble of a soft moan as he let his instincts take over. Tilting my head, I deepened the kiss and traced my tongues against the contour of his tender lips. Klaus’s lips parted then and I could taste his sweet tongue as he ran his tongue across mine. We stayed like that, clinging to each other until we had to pull away. We rested our foreheads against each other as we were breathing heavily. We both we were both smiling as Klaus leaned down and gave me a slow and passionate kiss. It was simply breath-taking as I felt like my body was lit with millions of fireworks. “I love you Isabella.” He said looking into my eyes and smiled a beautiful smile. I grinned from ear to ear as I looked at him. “I love you too Klaus.” I replied. We both laughed and raced each other back home or well until we hit Mystic Falls, and everyone saw us. I noticed some people… especially my brothers looked angry and confused so I told everyone.
