Holding On To You

Chapter Seven

 The next morning, Davina walked around her attic room picking up various clothes sticking them in to her bag then zipped it shut. She fought back a yawn as she was tired due to not getting much sleep the night before because she was so freaking excited and a little nervous. But not as nervous as Marcel who spent the better part of the night convincing her not go, however, she wouldn't hear of it. Honestly, Davina didn't mind if she never saw New Orleans again, if it wasn't for the few that she loved, she didn't know if she would even returned.

"Are you ready to go?"

Davina didn't even have to turn to know who it is as she felt small little butterflies in the pit of her stomach. "More than anything," She answered turning around to look at Kol who made her breath catch. He looked as if he stepped out of a fashion magazine, his face relaxed as he looked at her wearing nothing but a light grayish blue shirt that molded to his torso and jeans that seemed to fit in the right places.

"I would have been here sooner, but I was getting the third degree from Marcel," Kol said walking into the room. "Again."

"He is just protective of me," Davina said defending Marcel then turned around to pick up one of her bag placing the strap over her shoulder.

"As he should be," Kol commented as he walked up her. "Allow me," He said taking the other bag and pulled it over his shoulder as if it weighed nothing. "Do you have everything?"

"I think so," Davina answered glancing around the room one more time.

"Don't worry, if you forget something I can always buy you it," Kol said and Davina looked at him shaking her head.

"You don't have to buy me anything," She protested.

"If you say so," Kol said before smirking. "We better go before Marcel goes all general mode and sends the troops up." He went out the door to take the stuff to the car and Davina could hear the creeks as he walked down the stairs as she followed him.

"I heard that!"

Davina snickered rolling her eyes as she walked down the aisle to the front doors where Marcel and Josh were waiting for her. She smiled at them as she came to a stop. "Stop worrying Marcel." She said.

"Kind of hard not to D," He said shaking his head. "Just promise me that you will be careful?"

"I promise," Davina smiled nodding turning to Josh.

"Have fun," Josh said as he wrapped his arms around the girl. "Don't forget about me."

"I am not going to be gone forever," Davina laughed as she returned the embrace. "So that is not likely and you can call me anytime you want."

"Good," Josh said smiling as he stepping back. "I hope you have a lot of fun while you are way with your prince charming."

"Kol-"

"He is not her prince," Marcel said protectively glaring at Josh crossing his arms. "Maybe you should cancel the trip."

"Way to go," Davina said looking to Josh rolled his eyes, but she was not mad at him and turned to Marcel again. "I'll be back." She grinned.

"You better be and in one piece,"Marcel said seriously. "You can come home whenever you want."

"I know," Davina nodded. "Thank you for everything Marcel." She moved closer to him wrapping her arms around him tightly. She was going to miss his warm hugs. "I'm gonna miss you.

"Me too."

Together they walked out of the church where Kol was at the trunk of the car moving stuff around when she came to his side. He smiled when he saw her and held his hand out for the bag which she gave it to him. "All set?" He asked his eyes sparkling with excitement.
