An: for those who requested it, here is part 3!

I freeze and just look at him not knowing how to greet him. After a while, he realizes that I'm not going to say anything so he makes a few steps in my direction but when I back away, he stops.

"I see. Am I not allowed to touch you anymore?" he says

"I don't like to be touched by a man who just got out of a bed he shared with another woman. I can smell her scent from here. Is she still in your room?" I say trying to keep an emotionless face

"That's not fair Y/N, you know that I did it only because I had to."

"You could have found hundreds of other ways to get her to talk that didn't involve going down on her," I say

"We've been over this already, we were running out of time and that was the only idea we had. And need I to remind you that you said you were fine with it yesterday?" he said getting riled up

"I didn't exactly say that and I didn't expect you to like it anyway"

"What makes you say that I did?" he said taking a step forward

"Elijah and Hayley just told me that you did it all night. Why did you keep giving it to her? Wasn't one round enough for her? for you?"

He looked away from me and I had the confirmation that they had been doing it all night.

"The whole point was to get her to talk, I didn't think it would make a difference how many times we did it." I scoffed at this and he looked back at me.

"Of course it would! To me, it would! But you know what, enough of this. Did you do it? Did she talk?" I asked not wanting to get too worked up

"Yes and now the witches are not a threat to Hope anymore," he says. Nodding I look away from him and after a few seconds of silence I spoke:

"I'm glad to hear that, at least my pain won't be pointless. Now I don't have a reason to stay, though. Goodbye, Niklaus." I said with tears welling up in my eyes. I needed to get the hell out of that kitchen but in order to do so, I had to walk past him. And when I did, he took a hold of my wrist and turned me around so that I would face him.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about Y/N?! Your place is by my side. You have every reason to stay here."

I could see that this situation was affecting both of us but I honestly couldn't bear the thought of him and her together.

"I don't think I can do this anymore. Not after what just happened." I whispered softly looking into his watering eyes

"Don't say that. Nothing happened Y/N, please! I know that you think that I felt something for her, but I didn't. I love you and only you. Please don't end this for such a stupid thing."

"This is not stupid Nik, not for me. Every time I look at you now I can't help but picture you in bed with her. Every time I think of kissing you, I remember that her lips have been on yours. Besides, witches are always going to be a problem, does this mean that you're going to have sex with her every time?"

"No, of course not. This was a one-time thing. This was exactly what she wanted to happen, she is jealous of you and what we have and she wanted to break us up. Don't let her win."

"What do you mean? I thought it was your idea" I said

Letting out a deep breath he looked away from me and said: "Everything that happened was part of her plan. she wanted to have sex with me and she wanted you to know about it so that it could break our relationship."

I looked at him. This information swept me off my feet.

"Why didn't you told me? Why did you tell me a lie?"

"Because I knew that if you knew it was her idea you would have been against it just because it was her idea. And I needed Geneviève on my side, for Hope's sake," he said looking at me.

"I'm aware of that. It's exactly why I told you to go along with the plan. Every action has its consequences though." I said implying that breaking up was now inevitable.

We look at each other for a while, not saying anything. Almost if we were trying to delay what we knew was coming.

"Don't get me wrong Nik, I love you and I always will. Maybe now it's not the right time for us to be together. I mean, you have your family to take care of and I'm just a burden for all of you." I said with a shaking voice taking his hands in mines.

"If you want to end this so desperately, then fine! Have your way with it. But at least, have the decency to tell the truth. You may feel like you're a burden to us, but you are most certainly not. Yes, I admit that your pain was a collateral effect of keeping Hope safe. Nevertheless, I never thought that it would have such an impact on you, knowing that it meant absolutely nothing to me. It was just a means to an end, nothing more."

He was now shouting, and he looked angry. I know Niklaus, and I know that he doesn't like to deal with emotions. Especially not unhappy ones.

"Niklaus please, try to be in my shoes. What would you have done if you were me? I doubt you'd react in a better way. Maybe it's because I'm human, and I don't have an open mind as you do, but I can't walk past this like it's nothing."

I pause for a moment, to gain his attention. When he looks at me, I go on:

"I'm not saying that I don't want to be with you or that we are never going to get back together. I really want to work this out, and I believe that in order to do so, I have to take some time apart from you."

He looks at me, his face is emotionless but I know that this is just the way he deals with sorrow.

"Well then, that's it. If that's what it takes to have you back, I'm not going to oppose it."

I make a sad smile gently caressing his face. I look at him, taking his beautiful face in. Who knows, how long it'll be 'till I see him again.

"Goodbye Nik."
