True love [Elijah Mikaelson]

The Date

The whole day I was incredibly nervous. Like a frightened chicken, I kept pacing and looking for work to distract myself. I did not manage to sit somewhere quiet for more than a few minutes and not make a toy out of everything, which I was able to react to. For what felt like a hundredth time today, I looked at the clock hanging over my door in my kitchen. In my fingers i held a wooden spoon, which I turned incessantly in my hand, although I just did not need it at all. Elijah would pick me up in less than an hour and I knew I had to get ready, but I just did not know what to wear. Already the whole day occupied me this one all-important question. 

Something quite ordinary, casual and immaculate? Something chic or noble? Or better a mix of everything? The much bigger problem was: Did I ever have such a thing? I was not the kind of woman who had a ton of clothes, and I had never been a big fan of overly pompous outfits, I just had a few summer dresses. Once again, I hurried to my closet, to stand in front of it again helplessly. In the end, I did not have much choice and I did not know where I would go with it did not make it any better. I opted for a pair of dark jeans, black pumps, a white blouse and pulled on another light jack. After spending some time applying make-up, if only discreetly and some silver earrings. I just brushed my hair again and looked at myself in the mirror above my sink when I heard it ringing. After a quick glance at the clock, I realized that this last hour had gone by incredibly fast and I was glad that this nerve-racking day finally came to an end and he was finally there, where ... actually it just started getting really nerve-wracking to become.

When i opened the door, Elijah stood with his back turned to me, waiting. His hands kept in the pockets of his suit trousers. He was so incredibly sexy in this suit. Well, I've always had a weakness for men in suits and shirts, but I've never experienced anything like Elijah. I had never understood what many women found in men in uniforms. Never in my life would I trade a man like Elijah in a suit for a man in uniform. Elijah turned to me as he heard me open the door. I actually forgot to breathe for a moment. He had no tie today, but the top three buttons of his white shirt were open. Elijah opened her mouth to say something and then closed it again shortly afterwards. Finally, he smiled meaningfully at me and then found his language again.

"You look stunning, Grace" His heartbreaking eyes met my blue eyes and I felt myself melting under the gaze. This evening would not be easy! I had to pull myself together, I almost did not recognize myself again. What was Elijah doing to me?

"Thank you, but you're pretty chic, too", I replied a bit shyly, rewarding him with a friendly smile.

"Well then, shall we?" He asked, offering his arm so that I could hook myself in, which I was only too happy to accept. When we finally reached the bottom of the road, he broke away from my arm and headed for his car to open the door for me. After strapping on, he closed my door and walked around his car to sit next to me. 

"Where are we going?", I wanted to know more than curious, but he just looked at her wryly and shook his head.

"You'll see that soon enough", he replied.

ooOoo

We drove through the French Quarter, away from the streets. We turn into a highway, I realized that we drove into the Bayou. Twenty minutes later the car stopped but I could not see anything as it was already a bit dark. Elijah go out and opened the door for me. I go out, he smiled at me and said:        "Close your eyes"

I did as he told me and closed my eyes. He took my hand in his and I felt a tingling in my stomach, although I knew him so briefly. He led me along a path until we suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute here", he said, leaving my page, "open it"

I opened my eyes and could not believe what I saw, everything was lit with fairy lights and in the middle was a blanket with a few rose leaves, there was also a picnic basket next to the ceiling. I opened my mouth, but the words were missing.

"Too much for the first date?" He asks.

"No, it's beautiful", I said and say. He offered me his arm and we lay down on the blanket.

"Do you have siblings?", I asked him.

"Yes, I had a six, two sisters and four brothers," he said and stopped for a moment, "but one of my sisters and two of my brothers died, all I have left are my brothers Niklaus and Kol and my sister Rebekah", he looked at me.

"I-I'm sorry, Elijah", I stuttered

"Does not need it", he says and smiles, "And do you have siblings?" 

"No, i'm an only child, my parents live in Chicago", I said, he reaching for the champagne next to him.

"Do you want to?", He asks me and opened the champagne.

"Um, yes", I said and he poured the champagne into two glasses and handed me one.

He continued to tell me about his family. We talked about everything, it was just beautiful, I felt so secure with him and would not like to leave.

ooOoo

"You were in Romen? I always wanted to go there", I said in surprise.

"I promise you that someday I will show you Romen, many other places like London and Paris", he said, looking me in the eye, I was in a spell and could not escape, he raised his hand to mine Cheek. He looked from my eyes to my lips and asked for permission, I gave him permission by doing the same, I looked from his eyes to his lips. In seconds, my and his lips were connected, it was a slow sweet kiss, my hands went to his neck and into his hair. After a while we had to break the kiss because we needed air. I smiled at him and he do the same.

"I wanted to do it since I first saw you", he says, stroking my cheek.

"Me too", I said softly, as if saying, and for a while in the eyes until I had to yawn.

"Do we want to go?" He asks me

"I think we should ..." He got up and offered his hand to me. When we were in the car and drove off, he took my hand in his and a warm feeling went through my body. Twenty minutes later we arrived and ran to the entrance of my apartment. We turned to each other.

"Will we meet again?", I asked a little nervously and looked at my feet.

"I hope", he said, lifting my chin so I looked at him and kissed my lips briefly, "I wish you a nice night and hope to see you again soon"

"I hope it too", I said, smiling at him. I turned around and went to my front door, I just want to go into the apartment, but decided to turn around again to see him look at me with a grin. I went to the apartment and closed the door behind me. I took off my shoes, went to my bedroom and fell onto my bed. I smiled and thought how he managed to conquer my heart in such a short time.
