By the time Kol had gotten back to his bedroom, he remembered he had told Elena to lock the door so he hoped she was still awake to let him in. He was just getting ready to knock when the door opened.
"Elena I thought I told you not to open the door until making sure who was on the other side" he said upset with her as he shut the door and locking it.
"Sorry I-" she said as Kol interrupted her.
"No I'm sorry, I'm just still on edge from earlier, forgive me?" he asked with a boyish smile.
"You're forgiven, now I really need to get some sleep otherwise I will be falling asleep in class" she said smiling at him as she crawled into bed. Kol undressed and crawled into his bed beside her, pulling her close before closing his eyes.
When Kol woke up the bed was empty and as he went to jump out of bed in a panic, he spotted a note in Elena's hand writing.
Kol,
You looked so peaceful and I didn't have the heart to wake you. Rebekah is giving me a ride to school. Will text you during lunch hour xxxoooxxx
Elena
He got out of bed grabbing his phone to check the time 8:42 and checked to make sure the painting was still where he had put it. He walked over to the door and locked it before getting a shower. Afterwards he got dressed and grabbed the painting in search of Freya to unlink the painting from Elena.
"Kol just the person I wanted to see, here give me the painting. I figured out what she did, only I will do the spell out here. I don't have the room reversed just yet and this is one spell we don't want to go wrong" she said as set the painting down and chanted her incantation. Afterwards the painting didn't have the glow it seemed to, now it looked more like a normal painting. They wouldn't know until he talked to Elena during her lunch hour, until then the painting remained in sight of Kol.
Kol was getting restless by the time Elena texted him.
Hey, anything on the painting?
Yeah Freya wants to make a tiny cut on the left hand, are you up for it..just in case?
Yes, been worrying about it up till now
Ok she is making the cut right now. anything?
No...does it mean it worked?
I hope so love
Me too..I was thinking maybe my house tonight, fix dinner have some friends over so they get to know you a little better...maybe?
Sounds like a plan. Want a ride home after school or do you have a ride with Caroline or Bonnie?
I'll get a ride with Caroline, so my house around 5 :)
Ok. I love you
I love you too and don't be late. See you later :)
Ok
"So did it work?" Freya asked amused by the fact her brother had forgotten she was even there until she spoke.
"Uh yeah" he said with a smile that reached his eyes.
"You really love her don't you" she stated with a smile.
"That I do sister, speaking of I will be going to her house tonight for dinner so her friends get to know me better. That ought to be interesting" he chuckled.
"Considering your track record with them, that will definitely be interesting. They'll come around Kol, once they see the two of you together" she said.
"I hope so sister, anyways I will leave you to your spells" Kol said as he headed downstairs to pester Nik.
"So Elena you've been spending a lot of nights over at the Mikaelson's, spill...tell us everything" Caroline pleaded.
"Please don't tell us everything...just some of it" Bonnie laughed as they watched Elena blush slightly.
"Is he good?" Caroline teased.
"Caroline!" Elena said blushing even more.
"That means he was good" Bonnie chimed in.
"Well he should be, beings he over a thousand years old" Caroline giggled.
"What am I going to do with you two?" Elena asked as they both shrugged their shoulders.
"Is he ever going to hang out with us so we get to know him better or what?" Caroline asked.
"He is coming over for dinner tonight and you two are invited bring dates" Elena said with a straight face.
"Dates? Can't we just go...stag? Caroline asked, almost pleading.
"I have a date, I will see if he wants to change plans" Bonnie said knowing Caroline would ask.
"Who is your date?" Caroline asked.
"Tristen, aka Adonis" Bonnie said smugly.
"Seriously? Do bring him over it will be fun. Caroline I could ask Kol to bring Klaus..." Elena trailed off.
"Sure why not" Caroline said calling Elena's bluff.
"Ok, I'll text Kol right now" Elena said.
Kol and Nik were in the middle of discussing the dead witch when his phone buzzed. He looked down and seen Elena had texted him.
Can you ask Klaus if he would like to come over for dinner. I think Caroline and him would hit it off...I think she likes him :)
"Nik want to come over to Elena's tonight for dinner, the little blonde you were checking out a few weeks ago will be there" Kol said watching his brother closely.
"Why not" Nik said with a grin.
He said why not, we'll see you around 5 then love
