Holding On To You

Chapter Nine

 Davina sat curled up in a rocking chair on the balcony of her room sipping her first cup of coffee of the day. Her blue eyes took in the gorgeous scenery that laid out in front of her, the cool water of the lake, its surface reflecting the mountains that surrounded it. Never in her life had she seen such a sight so she made her daily routine to take the beauty in with a cup of coffee. It was early morning, the air was cold which made the mug in her hand that much warmer. It has been a week since their arrival in Denver, Kol and Davina would stay in the cabin unless the would go out to meet Jeremy.

Jeremy had been kind enough to show them all the cool spots in town and where he would often hang out. One day, Jeremy invited them to go to an arcade where Kol was introduced to video games and developed a slight obsession for them because that night, after Davina had to explain how they worked and how to play them, Kol went out and bought himself one and brought it back to the cabin. Needless to say that was why they rarely left the cabin. Davina would never forget the night, Kol struggled to beat a level in one of his games and nearly broke the poor Xbox in half and even thought Davina should have been terrified of his temper, she only found it hilarious. Oh wait....that was just last night and after she went to bed she could hear still him grumbling about that damn level. Snickering at the memory she took another sip of the bitter liquid and felt her stomach growl for something to eat.

So, she got out of her chair and went inside out of the chilly air, walking down stairs to see Kol standing in front of the stove flipping something and the smell of bacon hit her nose.

"I thought it was my turn to cook," Davina said sitting down in stool at the breakfast bar that separated the living room from the kitchen.

"I don't mind it, Darling," He said turning to her with a grin. "What were you laughing about up stairs?" One thing she keeps forgetting about was his vampire hearing.

"You," She said grinning. "Your little temper tantrum last night."

"It wasn't funny," Kol said turning back to the stove.

"But it was," Davina said giggling as Kol rolled his eyes. "Did you beat it?"

"I did," He answered as he set a glass of orange juice in front of her.

"Is that fresh squeezed?" She asked surprise.

"Of course it is. There will be none of that bottled stuff." Kol said as he placed a plate full of bacon, eggs and two pieces of toasts browned just perfectly in front of her. "Do you want jam for your toasts?"

"The grape please and ketchup for the eggs," Davina added.

"Eat up because we are getting out of this stuffy old cabin for a bit," Kol said sitting down after getting himself a blood bag from fridge pouring it into a glass.

"Where we going?" asked Davina swallowing a bite of her eggs.

"It's a surprise," Kol said. "I want to show you something and make sure you dress in something warm."

"Okay," Davina said. "You know you are a good cook for a vampire."

"Well being alive for over a thousand year minus the years in the coffin, you actually learn something. I like cooking honestly." Kol admitted taking a sip of his blood as the finished their breakfast with brief small talk.

Davina walked down the stair to Kol who was waiting for her at the bottom at them standing there in a deep blue heavy coat. He looked up and smiled at her causing her heart to flutter. She shook her head as she came up beside him.
