SECRET | Elijah Mikaelson [2]

Quid Pro Quo

Elijah vanished after my fake confession, but he was also not real. For once, I thought he loved me and I broke his heart. I wish I could hurt him or ask him why he did all this with me. But I can't trust him over my family in my home. If I had said the else name, they could have eliminated them, leaving only one option: Niklaus. I knew I opened a Pandora's box in my life, but anything that keeps Elijah away from me, I am ready to deal with many of them.

At the compound, Freya has been trying Elijah's cell.
At the apartment, Elijah was lying naked on the bed with bottles rolling on the floor. He woke to the sound of his phone ringing. He put the phone to his ear.
"Hello,"
"You are still sleeping. It's noon"
"Morning to you too."
"Today Is a new moon "
"So...."
"Hayley will be back in human.so I want you to be with me and hope there"
"Fine..." we that he hung back

He walks downstairs while wrapping sheets around his waist.
He grabs a bottle from the top shelf of the kitchen

"fast. the efficient skills you are showing. Making me guess I will have breakfast rather than dinner"
and she pokes again
"Stop nudging me."
"It was you who wanted me to command you. Now you blame ME." She looks adorable while acting in a drama.
But I act stoic and glared at her
"Don't look at me for long. You will fall for me." I can't stop myself from smiling.
"Enjoy my misery"

"No, I am in love with your misery"

He felt an arm snake around him, "morning. I missed you where were you?"
He removed his arm "None of your concerns, gia and I made it very clear. I felt nothing for you." he opened the bottle and gulped half of the bottle.
He turned around. Anger fuelled him when he noticed what she was wearing.
"Who told you to wear that?" He yells at her.
"Well, if you haven't torn my clothes, Elijah. I wouldn't have worn your shirt," she yells back.
He breathed and spoke a bit relaxed" There are many clothes in the guest room you can wear. Nevertheless, you are never going to touch my clothes again"

 "Seriously," she throws her hand in the air. She removes his shirt and throws it on Elijah's face, which ends up only in her lingerie. Elijah catches the shirt and places it on the couch "I have slept with you twice it is not a big deal to wear your shirt, you talk as if I Am dirt"

He regrets talking loudly to her. He put the bottle aside and grabbed the walking away gia to him "I didn't mean that" but seeing her in Zoya's shirt.
forget her

He closes his eyes in anger and whispers, "Let me make up for my tone" With that, he lifts gia and Vamp speed to a room

Zoya

"Nervous princess, " He Teases.
"Don't try my patience," I again go through my unorganized notes "I have never been to any selection process"
"You mean interview"
"People sometimes use that also"
"Relax"
"I would die with cardiac arrest," I frown.
"You are taking too much stress"
"You won't understand"
"Try me"
"fine. Don't blame me," I put the notes to rest for a while "I Am scared because I don't know what will happen. Would I get selected or not? What if I got selected but again at what post? What if I don't deserve any post?" I again equipped "or what is they give some higher post and i don't deserve that? Can you imagine because of my weakness, all the hardship of someone can fall to a speck of dirt? And thousands of people can go jobless? and then their families..."

I felt something invade my mouth "I think I have enough." I blink in surprise, "I Can guarantee you the world is not going to end because of you,"
I pop the lollypop out of my mouth "but"
"Out" I plead with my eyes" Now" I look at him with puppy eyes "he grabs my purse and hands me "Get out"

I step out of the cab "You know you are turning out very bitter for your age"
He smiles slyly "Bye... princess" he smirks and sped up his cab, leaving me in the paladin's shadow.

I walk down the stairs while nodding at the guards with a smile. They open the door for me.
I saw the notice board interview on the 17 floor.
I step into the elevator with the rest of the other not-known faces. Slowly, they start evacuating as the elevator goes up. Now it's only me on that.
16th floor I can feel heat spread over my face

Not again, Allah. my anxiety is not the best foundation for my face. Now I understand why this office makes up look invented. i should have put some on my face. At least I would have drowned myself in the green highlighter.

I closed my eyes to calm myself before I appeared for the interview.

Ding great, they open it

"Not even glance"

I open my eyes instantly to the same stranger I met before.

"You"

The door was going to close when he put his hand at the door, which allowed me to get out

"Thank you"

He enters the elevator and bows in my direction at the bit "Lucian castle always at your service" With that he winks at me, and the door gets closed

A smile spread over my face.
