The next morning Elena woke up early and hopped out of bed, grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower. Kol woke and heard the shower running, all kinds of images running through his mind making him smirk as he headed towards the bathroom.
Elena felt him wrap his arms around her, as he kissed the side of her neck. Then he took the shampoo bottle from her and lathered up her hair, watching as she rinsed her hair and the shampoo running down her body while his hands followed the path of sudsy bubbles. She leaned into him and turned her head giving him better access to kiss and nip at her neck. Kol held her against him as he kissed her neck and shoulder before turning her around and pushing her up against the shower wall. Brown eyes looking into brown eyes as he entered her, taking their time and both losing control at once.
"You must have a fetish for sex in the shower" Elena said later as she got dressed.
"Only with you love" Kol said looking at her with his usual smirk as he also got dressed.
"Kol can I ask you something?" she asked hesitantly.
"You know you can ask me anything" he said looking at her waiting for her to continue.
"Well we haven't discussed where we will be living after we get married" she said.
"No we haven't. I figured we could live at your house" he said pulling her into his arms.
"I would like that. Not that I don't enjoy being interrupted by your family and no alone time" she said laughing.
"What would you say if I suggested we start living there now?" Kol asked.
"I would say yes...but wait do we still have to worry if Tyler found any family in New Orleans?" she asked.
"Well it's been a couple weeks so there is a good chance he didn't find any otherwise we would have heard from Marcel by now" he said reassuringly.
"Guess we should start packing" Elena said before standing on tip toe to kiss him.
"Let's head downstairs and let the others know" he said.
"What are you two lovebirds up to this morning?" Nik said from behind them making Elena jump causing him to smirk innocently.
"Just the person we were looking for. We wanted to let you know that today we will be moving to Elena's house" Kol said.
"Just be cautious and Elena...don't invite people in" he said with a chuckle, thinking back when she allowed him into her house and not long after she had let Kol in knowing how dangerous he was.
"Learned my lesson after I let Kol in the first time" she said smiling up at Kol.
"Yeah well, must have been my charm and good looks" Kol said.
"Must of been considering why you were really there" NIk said.
"Ouch brother. My poor ego" Kol said smiling.
"I think it will survive" Nik said smirking.
"What will survive?" Elijah asked.
"Kol's ego" Elena said before Nik or Kol could say anything, making Elijah smile.
"Ah. After all these years I'm still trying figure out which one's ego is bigger Niklaus' or Kol's" Elijah said trying not to smile.
"You wound me Elijah" Kol said holding his hand over his heart.
"Well we should go get packed" Elena said, knowing all three brothers had big ego's.
"Where you two off to, might I ask" Elijah said in his usual calm voice.
"We are going to live at Elena's house" Kol said.
"It was a pleasure having you here Elena and we know you'll keep him out of trouble" Elijah said giving her a hug.
"You forget brother, trouble can find Elena faster than I can get into it" he said.
"Hey!" Elena said elbowing Kol.
"Ok. We are off to go pack" Kol said pulling Elena towards the stairs.
"Have you heard from Marcel?" Elijah asked Nik once the couple disappeared upstairs.
"I have. He said everything is quiet, not even so much as a rumor" Nik said.
"Good. Be still wise to remain cautious" Elijah said.
"Beings our baby brother has something to protect, he won't let his guard down with anyone but her and his family" Nik said seriously.
Elena gathered up what she was taking and decided to leave some clothes along with what toiletries Freya had gotten her when she first came here, Kol had done the same thing. Once they were done packing they headed back downstairs to say their goodbye's.
"Well here we are. Not quite like the Mikaelson mansion, but it's home" Elena said turning to look at Kol.
"Elena, while the mansion held a certain appeal, this feels more like home" he said pulling her into his arms and resting his chin against her the side of her head.
"I'm glad you like it" she said loving the feel of his arms holding her.
"Ok. Let's get this stuff unpacked. Lead the way" he said grabbing some boxes and following Elena upstairs to a closed bedroom door.
"This used to be my parents room and now I would like it to be ours" she said looking around the room.
"We'll create new memories here love" he said with a smile.
The next few months went by fairly fast, Elena could hardly believe it was almost November. The wedding invitations had been sent out in September, and right now she was waiting on her two best friends and future sisters to show up so they could head out to find her the perfect wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses while Kol, Jeremy, Matt, Elijah and Nik went to get fitted for tuxs. She had it all planned out that Nik would walk with Caroline, Matt with Rebekah, Jeremy with Bonnie, and Elijah with Freya. Jeremy had double duty as he would be walking her down the aisle to her future.
