THE HUNTRESS AND THE HYBRID

Chapter 11: I think I am in love with you

Chapter 11: I think I am in love with you

Meredith woke up in the next morning to find out that Klaus was still sleeping with his head on her chest. She smiled and started to play with his reddish-blond curls. "Morning, love." He mumbled with his eyes still closed. "Morning." She said softly still playing with his hair. He smiled and drifted back to sleep. Meredith kissed him on his head.

Two hours later Klaus really woke up. He sat in the bed and looked at her. "You could have waked me up, instead of sitting alone watching me sleep." Said Klaus. "You are cute when you are asleep." She said, smiling. He cocked his head, curiosity in his eyes. "And when I am a wake?" he asked. "Mmm… sexy?" she half asked half said. "Good answer." Said Klaus and kissed her on the lips.

Meredith deepened the kiss, her tongue getting in his mouth. Klaus sighed and pulled away. "Broken leg." He mumbled. "Can you help me get in to the bathroom?" she asked. "Sure." He answered and helped her stumble to the bathroom. "I am going to buy something, I will be right back." He said to the closed door of the bathroom. "o.k." she answered and he left.

When Klaus came back to the room, Meredith was standing against the wall. "Why are you standing there?" he asked, confused. "I couldn't move I got tired stumble on this stupid leg." She replied. He chuckled and walked to carry her to the bed. "It's not funny," she said. He kissed her lips and put her on the bed, still chuckling.

"I bought you dresses; it will be more comfortable with your leg," he said and put on the bed seven everyday dresses with different shapes and colors. "Seven?" she said, surprised. "Seven days- seven dresses." He said. She smiled at him. "Thank you." She said and pulled him in to a hug. "You're welcome," he said and kissed her cheek.

"Which one is for today?" she asked him. "Amm… the blue wavy one." He chose. "Perfect." She said and Klaus pulled her blouse over her head. He sighed and stroked her cheek. "Take my blood, please." He begged. She shook her head as no. He cut off her pants (there wasn't another way because of her leg) and dressed her in the blue dress. "You look beautiful." He said and put the other dresses in the bags.

"Nicklaus." She called him and he looked at her. "It is so difficult for you to understand why I don't want to drink blood?" she asked him. "I get your reasons but why can't you give up just this time for me, for us. I want you so much." He said and his eyes were full of lust. Meredith looked at his eyes and could feel her heart pounding faster.

The minutes ticked by, and the blue eyes remained on the black ones.

"You will need just a little." He promised. She wanted him as much as he wanted her. "Fine." She gave up. Klaus bit his arm and gave her to drink the blood from the wound. She stopped after a moment. "How do you feel?" asked Klaus. "Better. How are you? Did I take too much?" she asked. "No, I am fine." He promised her while taking off the cast from her leg. "Are you sure?" she asked and got closer to him. He concentrated on checking her leg. "It's not broken anymore," he assured her.

"Nicklaus," she said softly and held his face with both hands. He looked at her. "What is it? Are you hungry?" she asked, referring to the blood. "I am fine, love." He said. The true was that he was starving. Four days without feeding, and then letting her some of his blood was too much even for him.

Meredith suggested him her wrist. She knew that she will need to stop him fast because of the baby. She realized that Gloria had no reason to lie about the baby. "I am run out of vervain, so my blood is clean. Take some, I don't mind." Meredith said softly. She kissed his lips, and stroked his cheek. "It's o.k." she promised him.

Klaus took her wrist to his mouth and sank his fangs trough her skin. She gasped and he looked at her. "I am o.k." she assured him. He started to drink the warm fresh blood. Meredith kissed his head while he was feeding on her blood.

Klaus stopped before she could stop him. He wanted to give her a bit more blood so the new wound will healed but she refused. Instead he wrapped a piece of toilet paper on her wrist and tied it up. "Thank you." He whispered. She kissed him on his nose.  

"When was the last time that you have fed?" she asked. "Four days ago." He answered. "Four days ago?! Why?" she asked softly. "I couldn't do that, not after I made love with you. And I don't eat bunnies like Stefan." Said Klaus. Her hand was held in his hands and he played with her fingers. "You can drink humans' blood bags, like the ones you gave to Stefan on the first day." Said Meredith.

Klaus started to kiss her neck. "Let's talk about that later." He said and started to take off her dress. They took off the rest of their clothes and made love. Meredith loved him, she was sure about that, but she didn't know if she was important enough, that he will give up on his hybrids for her. That was the reason she decided to keep the baby as a secret.

Eventually they fall asleep in each other arms.

Rebecca and Stefan sat at the storage unit. At their feet were two dead bodies. "I really like your friend." Said Rebecca. "Good for you." Said Stefan. "She changed him; he is more like the time that he was human." Said Rebecca. Stefan was listening very carefully. So Meredith was with Klaus. Maybe she will keep him away from mystic falls.

"She looked very in love." said Rebecca. "Really? And he?" asked Stefan. "I am not sure. It always was difficult to know with Nick." Said Rebecca. "I see."  Said Stefan, thoughtful.

Meredith woke up. She watched for a while on sleeping Klaus. "You are watching me sleeping again, aren't you?" he asked with his eyes still closed. "Just a little," she said, stroking his hair. He smiled, and got closer to her warm body.

"Did you give up on your hybrids?" she asked. "Of course not. I just need a new witch." He answered and sat up, looking at her. "Why do you ask?" he asked her. "No reason." She answered quietly. He stared at her, trying to read her, but with no success. She knew him easily, but she was a mystery for him.

"Nicklaus," she said to get his attention back. "Why don't you call me Nick, like my sister does? We got close enough for this don't we?" he asked. "Sure." She said and smiled. He kissed her lips.

"Nick," she said and he smiled. "I think I am in love with you." Klaus didn't say anything. "Don't worry about it. I don't mind if you don't know what are you feeling, or if you don't feel the same. Its o.k." she said softly and stroked his cheek.

Klaus didn't know what to think. He cared about her, and he probably feels something for her, but is he in love with her? And if he is, what it means? He was confused. "Nick, forget it o.k.? don't over think about it, I just needed you to know," said Meredith and pulled him back to her, to make love under the blanket.
