Always and Forever // Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 3

My eyes opened quickly as I felt something under me move slightly, I looked up to see Klaus with his arm wrapped around me and my head on his chest.  I tried falling asleep again, but I couldn't.

I smiled to myself as I quickly got up and went into the kitchen.  I went to the kettle and started up the burner.

I quickly went into the bedroom again and put on a deep blue robe and tied it around my waist.  I walked back out to the kitchen with the floor moaning under my feet. 

"Shh" I said to the floor, expecting for it to listen.  Let's just say it didn't.

I got to the kettle before it exploded screeching.  I turned it off quickly and poured myself a cup of tea.  I sighed in relief as I drank it.  I slid the cup over on the other side of the island and I sat down next to it looking out the window.  The birds chirped softly through the window as the sun hit the island, reflecting the light into my eye.  I pulled my eyebrows together, trying to get used to the lighting. 

I gave up on trying and walked into the living room, a black leather sofa, love seat, and two chairs sat with a large flat screen in front of them all above a fireplace.  Two windows were on either side of the fireplace, the leafs were falling slowly and changing quickly.  I sat on the love seat, draping my legs over the side. 

I looked for the remote under me, then I saw it on the couch. 

"Ugh." I sighed as I got up quickly and grabbed it. 

"Now I'm uncomfortable...." I muttered, complaining as I laid on the love seat again. 

I turned on the TV and scrolled through the channels until I found a movie, Twilight. 

I chuckled to myself.  Little do people know vampires and werewolves are real... including hybrids.  I thought.  I clicked on it and I heard something in the other room. 

"Morning, Handsome." I said softly as I continued to drink my tea.  The floor moaned differently than how it did with Klaus, making me look behind myself. 

"Damon?!" I asked getting up quickly, putting my tea on the coffee table. 

"Don't you think it is a little wrong thinking I'm handsome when you're married?" He smirked. 

"Well I thought you were K-klaus." I shivered in fear, but I didn't let him see.

"Obviously thought wrong." He rolled his eyes smirking at me softly. 

"What do you want?" I demanded

"Woah calm down, beautiful.  You do look unbelievably sexy when you are mad, but I'd rather not get a werewolf bite."

I stepped towards him, trying not to quake in fear.  "I asked you a question.  Now answer it." I hissed.

"Just here to say hello...  see how you are doing." He smiled at me innocently. 

"How do I not believe that?" I crossed my arms across my chest. 

"Nice robe." He nodded towards me. 

"Don't look at me like that, you lost that right when you tried to kill someone I love." I glared at him.

"So I still had that right before I tried to kill your husband, when you were still with him?" He challenged me. 

"Don't you dare challenge me, Damon." I rose my voice slightly. 

"I'm not challenging you, I am asking you a question." He rose an eyebrow "You would have answered quickly Unless you loved me when you were with Klaus..."

I clenched my fists together and locked my jaw into place "I would never do that to Klaus.  You were just a one night stand."

He had hurt in his eyes as he stared at me, then hurt turned into rage.  "No, you were a one night stand for me." He growled.

"Get out Damon.  And don't test me because I will bite you." I threat, my voice low.

"You wouldn't even try.  Admit it, Maya.  You still love me." He smirked largely.

"Now why would I lie?" I growled loudly.

In seconds he dropped to the ground with Klaus behind him.  His eyes were filled with rage, but also worry.  I quickly got to him and wrapped my arms around him. 

"I only love you." I muttered against his bare chest. 

"And I only love you, Love." He kissed the top of my head. 

"He was a one night stand... I was upset by what you did and it just happened out of sorrow and that wonderful stuff." I kept my arms wrapped around him. 

"I know, Love.  I know." He rubbed my back softly.  I didn't realize why until I felt my face get sticky. 

"Why am I crying, what a stupid thing to cry over." I muttered.   

"Because you feel sorry I had to see that..." his soft breath was against my ear. 

"I guess so... you're most likely right." I sighed "You always are."

"I've seen centuries, I've seen many things in the world, Love.  Of course I'm always right." He smirked. 

"Cocky as always." I kissed his neck softly and pulled my head back to his shoulder, resting it there.  

"As always..." he mocked, smiling against my hair. 

"I'm sorry you had to see all that, and hear it."

"You were just trying to have a cup of tea, Love.  Of course wherever we go Trouble follows us." He shrugged slightly. 

"Of course, Handsome."

"Ah, I'm handsome now?" He said softly into my ear, making me melt into the floor. 

"You've always been handsome, just never used it as a nickname." I smiled widely. 

"Ah... I see..." he bit my ear softly, making my heart flutter. 

"Your heart is beautiful when it flutters..." he muttered. 

I blushed "I love you, Niklaus Mikaelson."

"And I love you, Maya Mikaelson, always and forever."
