Elena woke up wrapped in Kol's arms, wondering how she was going to get up with out waking him. The moment she moved his arm tightened around her waist, she turned to see he was still sleeping and tried once more. This time his grip loosened and she was able to get up grab her clothes and head into the bathroom to shower. While in the shower she smiled thinking about how they spent most of the night and him saying I love you.
While she was deep in thought, she didn't hear Kol get into the shower with her until he ran his fingers down her spine causing her body to come alive under his touch. She turned around and looked up at him with a smile on her face, he smiled back before leaning down to kiss her. Then his hands started to move not leaving one inch of her untouched and she followed his lead before he lifted her up, turning them to where she was between the shower wall and him. It was like deja vu from earlier this morning and they moved together as one. Eventually sending each other over edge, Kol rested his forehead against Elena's before setting her down on her feet. Once out of the shower they dried off and got dressed.
"Good morning by the way" Elena said with a smile.
"Good morning, my love and it was definitely good...actually it was more like an amazing morning" Kol teased before walking up to her a giving her a quick kiss.
"I love you" she said happily.
"And I love you" Kol said smiling back at her.
"Oh crap! What time is it?" she asked.
"Don't worry darling, it's only 7. I checked. I don't want you to be late for school, so I will drive you home, leave as so I am not a distraction and you can do whatever it is you do before you head to school" Kol told her.
"Ok, works for me. A distraction huh? You don't think I can resist your charm Mr. Mikaelson?" she teased.
"I know you can't Miss Gilbert, now come along otherwise you will be late" Kol said as he headed towards the door.
"Good morning you two love birds" Nik said with a knowing look on his face.
"It is an amazing morning brother" Kol smirked then gave Elena a knowing look making her blush.
"Good morning Klaus" she said trying hard not to look him in the face, knowing he was amused.
"Would love to stay and chat but I need to get her home so she isn't late for school" Kol said.
Klaus watched at the two of them headed down the steps, as Elijah walked up and he to watched their brother and Elena together when they thought no one was watching.
"Good to know we rubbed off on Kol with some manners, he treats her well so far" Elijah mentioned.
"That he does, I don't think I have ever seen him this happy in over a thousand years, have you?" Nik asked.
"No, I haven't" Elijah said turning to head towards the kitchen.
After seeing his younger brother this morning with Elena, it gave him inspiration to paint. So off he went to his room, he painted Elena from memory. In the painting she is wearing a burgundy strapless gown with the front part of her hair pinned up with the rest cascading down her shoulder and she is smiling. After he was done he had thought about putting a title on it, but decided that Kol should.
"For you to be this long painting, something inspired you. I hope it's not as grotesque as the last one you did" Elijah said.
"I'll have you the that last painting was spectacular, you just have no taste no art" Nik said smiling.
"I do have taste, that painting hurt my eyes...along with everyone else's" Elijah said with a smile.
"You have taste in what brother?" Kol asked.
"We were discussing art and how my last painting was superb and Elijah disagreed saying it was grotesque" Nik stated.
"No offense Nik, but that last painting hurt my eyes just to look at it" Kol said smirking.
"You have no taste just like our older brother, but I do believe this painting I just finished you will like. In fact I think you'll love it" Nik said looking at Kol.
"Well when do we get to see this painting?" Kol asked.
"Follow me" he said as his two brothers followed him to his room.
"May I present to you Kol an untitled piece that you get the honor to name" Nik said turning the painting around for both to see.
"When did you paint this?" Kol asked.
"This is exquisite Niklaus" Elijah said in awe.
"I painted it this morning, glad you approve brother" Nik said.
"I have no words Nik, you painted her beautifully" Kol said his eyes not leaving the painting of Elena.
"Glad you like it, so have you thought of a title for it?" Nik asked him.
"My Love" Kol told him.
"It's settled then My Love it is" Nik said happily.
"I'm impressed brother, finally a painting worth looking at" Elijah teased.
"Will the lovely Elena be joining you tonight?" Nik asked Kol.
"No, she is having a sleep over with Caroline and Bonnie tonight. So how about we have a night out, just the three of us" Kol said looking at his brothers.
"Sure why not" Elijah said with a smile.
"We'll head out in about an hour, if that works for you two" Nik said.
