Falling (Completed)

Chapter 17: For You

Rebekah's POV

"Malia Rosette, I've felt this way for a long time now. I've watched you grow into the amazing person you are today. We've been through a lot between the cold ones and running away from my idiotic brother. But, I promise to love you, Malia. I promise to protect you with my life and to treat you better than my brother did. I promise that I won't be unfaithful or cruel to you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you, Malia. Be my girlfriend?" I looked at Malia seeing a smile on her face and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Yes." Was all she said before connecting our lips and kissing me roughly. I returned the kiss with just as much force, tangling my fingers in her hair and softly pulling on it. I bit her bottom lip, earning a little moan and I grinned. This girl was finally mine. Malia cleared her throat and I looked at her. "It took you long enough."

I smirked and grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Sorry for keeping you waiting love."

Malia blushes and I can't help but to smile. "You want to eat first or go for a swim?"

Malia bit her lip. "Hmm, swim."

I grinned and threw her bathing suit at her and picked mine up. "Hurry up love, we can't stay long."

Just as I was about to turn to the woods my phone went off. Of course it was Kol. "Hello?"

"Sister, how are you?"

I sighed. "I'm fine Kol. I'm doing something, what do you need?"

Kol mocked my sigh then chuckled. "I'm telling you that it's time to come home. Niklaus has yet to give up on finding you but he's preoccupied with a very pregnant Hayley."

I growled. "Don't mention her name. I don't think Malia is ready to come back yet and if Nik has a problem with that, tell him to call me himself."

Kol sighed. "Expect a call then."

I hung up and sighed. It's always something. A little sooner than I would've liked, my phone went off. I looked at the screen and frowned when I noticed it was Nik.

"Hello?"

"Ah, sister. I'm so glad you finally decided to talk."

I rolled my eyes. "Drop the shit, Nik. What do you want?"

I could hear his grin in his next few words. "I want Malia."

I growled. "Sorry, Malia is my girlfriend now." And with that, I hung up.

I walked back to where Malia was and smiled as I saw her tanning. I walked up behind her and kissed her cheek. "Hello there, gorgeous."

Malia blushes and looked at me. "Hey, what took you so long?"

I smiled. "Kol called, he says hi by the way."

Malia smiles and laid back down. "Tell that loser I said hi."

I giggled and shook my head. Malia was something else. She was definitely one of a kind. In my hundreds of years existing, I've never met anyone like Malia before. She was truly one of a kind. "Whatever you say love."

Malia smiled and crawled in my lap, laying her head on my shoulder. "I love you, Beks."

I giggled and held her close, rubbing her arm with my fingertips. "I love you too, Mal."

I wish we could stay like this forever, calm and peaceful. But I knew we'd have to face Niklaus soon and I'm not sure if Malia is ready for that. I don't want her hurting anymore, especially from the hands of my brother. I'd do anything to protect this girl. I love her with all I have.
