Always and Forever // Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 30

I stretched my arms above my head carefully.  I looked up to see Klaus still asleep with my head on his chest.  I smiled softly and continued to stare at his face.

"Love, why are you staring?" He asked with his eyes still closed.

"I just enjoy staring at a handsome face once and a while." I kissed his chest lightly.

His eyes opened quickly and stared down at me, smiling.  "I enjoy staring at a beautiful face every morning." He wrapped his arm around me, pulling myself closer to him.

"You're too sweet." I chuckled once, placing my hand on his chest and tracing his tattoo.

"I guess we must get up and on with the day." He sighed disappointingly.

"We don't have to..." I muttered

"I have to deal with Marcel, Love." He commented.

"Great." I frowned then quickly grabbed the sheet to wrap around myself.  I walked to the bathroom and started up the shower.

I mean what the hell, it seems like he'd rather plan on taking out Marcel then hang out with me for the day.  I guess that's just Klaus... putting revenge before lovers.  

I walked into the shower then the door opened quickly.

"I'd rather spend my day with you... But I would like to get my town back for the both of us to stay there." He sighed

"I get it, you just prefer revenge over me.  Its fine though." I shrugged in the shower even though he probably couldn't see me.

"Love." He muttered, I could see his shadow leaning against the wall.

"It's fine, we're not even dating.  Completely fine." I pursed my lips lightly.

Within a second Klaus was in the shower with me, his hands on my waist.  Water dropped from his hair.

"Maya, I would much rather spend my day with you but I am doing this for the both of us." 

I rolled my eyes "Yeah, Yeah." I muttered

He put me between him and the wall, his face less than an inch from mine.  "I would choose you over anyone and everything." He muttered then his lips pressed against mine.

I quickly pulled on a pair of Klaus' sweatpants and shirt he never wears then ran downstairs into the kitchen, just barely missing running into Elijah.

"Hey!" I laughed lightly as I ran back to him.

"Good morning." He muttered while looking at me "Let me guess, you and Klaus?"

I rolled my eyes "Totally not, I just enjoy wearing his clothes."

"I knew that." Elijah chuckled 

"What's new with you?" I asked as I walked over to the tea kettle.

"Here to see my brother..." He looked behind him, searching for Klaus.

"He should be down in a few." 

Elijah walked over to me and turned on the water "May I state my own opinion?" 

I shrugged "You do anyways."

He chuckled then his smile turned into a frown "I feel like you should make a choice soon, before you string someone even father along then break their heart." 

"I can't... when I love two people." I muttered.

"Maya, either you choose or you lose them all at once." He tilted his head slightly

I widened my eyes "What?" 

"Soon they will get sick of waiting and move on." Elijah pointed out, leaning against the counter.

I never really thought of that, to be honest.  Elijah did always know all...

"Yeah, I see." I muttered 

"Maya, I know it may be... Difficult to choose - but you need to at some point." He pressed his lips into a straight line.  He placed his hands behind him on the table.

"Yeah." I pursed my lips.

"But what about the other... he can leave me." Maya muttered

"You never know that for sure." I said positively 

"Pretty sure he'd leave." She frowned as she stared at the island across from us.

"Maya." I paused as an idea hit me.  "What if I pretended to be your boyfriend, just to see who would leave?"

"That's like 8th grade style, Elijah." She shrugged, smirking slightly.

"It never didn't work." I smiled softly

"Whatever, I guess so."

"So, who is the number two guy?" I took my hands off the table from behind me.

"Stefan." She muttered

I stared at her then quickly at the water to make sure it was still running.  "Are you insane?  Klaus will rip his heart from his chest, May!" I whisper-yelled

"I know... he doesn't know yet." 

"Explains why Stefan is still alive.  Then what happened between you and the other Salvatore brother?" I pursed my lips slightly, cocking my head to the side.

"He became too much.  And he lashes out way too much for me to handle." She sighed softly, then turned off the water.

"Well I'll see you later." She said softly, her long eyelashes going up and down as she blinked.

"Okay, soon." We stood in front of each other awkwardly until I kissed her cheek lightly and ran off.

I poured the water into the cup carefully as Klaus came down the stairs.

"Was that Elijah?" Klaus asked, running his hand through his hair to shake off the rest of the water.

"Yeah, he just came to see how you were doing.  I told him you were upstairs getting ready." I placed the kettle back.

"Why was the water on for such a long time?" He questioned.

"I had to put water in the kettle, silly." I smiled, giggling lightly.

"For that long?" His eyes looked angry almost.

"I forgot to turn it off, I was busy talking to him about the night at the bar and about my werewolf stuff." I shrugged 

"Ah, okay." His eyes lightened as he placed his hands on my waist lightly behind me while resting his head on my shoulder.

"Why do you have to leave again." I groaned 

"Because I need to get back my town for a King and Queen to run." He chuckled as he kissed my neck softly

"Who is the queen going to be?" I questioned, half smiling.

"You, if you would like." He murmured

"Maybe..." I smiled fully, then realized I had to be acting like Elijahs' girlfriend... this should be difficult.
