chapter 5

Bella pov
While I was showing Elijah I was a little nervous to show him my room because I didn't want him to think that I was assuming things with him although I really was. This all is very new territory for me because although a part of me wanted to have sex with Edward with Elijah it was something different. I literally get butterflies when he is around and I like it but I'm afraid he doesn't feel the same for me and the last thing I want from someone like Elijah is rejection.

"I can show you the magic room but you won't be able to step in without receiving little shock. I just thought that I would warn you so that you didn't get hurt."

"That's very nice of you Bella and thank you for warning me I do believe that your grandmother would not have told me and laughed at me when I tried to enter."

"Yes that sounds like nana. She can be the sweetest woman ever but she can also be a trickster."

"So where is your room if you don't mind me asking?"

"No I don't mind you asking it's just I was saving that for last since I have homework."

"So do you think that you will need my help with your homework?"

"You know what I might because my history is really more about Mystic Falls then other events in history."

"Yeah that sounds about right and to be honest with you they didn't get the history quite right there are some major events that they skipped."

"Yeah something tells me that admitting to teenagers that a lot of the major deaths that happened in this town was from vampires instead of actual animals wouldn't work out to well."

"I think I could agree with you on that."
After showing him the other rooms I finally showed him my room and for a minute he looked around as if thinking about something important.

"I must admit that I like how your grandmother decorated everything and it seems very you. Simple but beautiful and a perfect safe haven for you to escape to when the day has been long and tiresome am I correct?"

"Yes you are and it's a safe haven even when I just want to come up here and read or relax which I haven't felt the need to do a lot of relaxing since I've been here. It's like since I've found out everything I want to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can."

"Yeah I know exactly what you mean it like when you learn something new you have to keep trying at it to make sure you could do it with your eyes closed."
Exactly so about this homework do you think you would be interested in helping me please"

"Darling all you have to do is ask and I doubt I would ever be able to tell you no. So about this homework lets get started."

I smiled at him not sure if he meant to call me darling or not but I loved hearing him call me that. Once I got started on my homework Elijah was really very helpful and I thought I would be distracted with him sitting so close to me where his knees brushed mine but it just felt so good and so right.

Once I was done and put everything away Elijah and I went outside on my balcony and sat down because he said that he wanted to tell me something important about his family.

"Bella I know that I the other night I told you that I had a total of seven siblings what I didn't tell you about is my half-brother Niklaus and I feel that it's important for you to know about him and what happened. I really like you a lot Bella and I just want to be open and honest with you."

"I really like you to Elijah and I don't want you to think that I will think any less of you with whatever you have to tell me. I'm not judgmental and I want you to feel that you can talk to me about anything I'm a very good listener and I may not have a solution to everything but sometimes listening works just as best as helping."
