☾ It's been four years since I decided to go to Manosque and visit Elijah. It was supposed to be a short visit, just to make sure he was ok, but I ended up staying longer. We grew closer after the night he found out I was a tribrid. Lunch dates turned into nights full of passion and that turned into moving in together. We had a lovely apartment by the beach in Manosque. Hope was in school and every summer when she got out, I would leave Elijah telling him I had to visit my family, he never asked who and I dreaded the day he would.
"How does a surprise evening sound?" Elijah asked as he drank a blood bag. I turned to look at him and closed my book.
"You? Planning a surprise night?" I asked lifting my brows. He chuckled and smirked at me.
"I mean, I could take you out for a nice dinner, promise to get you home by midnight." He suggested.
"Sounds wholesome." I said turning the other direction. He came closer and stepped behind me.
"If you prefer debauchery, we can do that." He said and I turned to him. I ran a teasing finger up his chest and smirked.
"Well now I'm intrigued." I said walking away to the bedroom and falling onto the bed with a welcoming look, he walked up to me with a smirk in his face as he closed the door. Later that night, we prepared ourselves for the night out Elijah had planned. I wore a black silk tank with a lace trim and some black fitted leather pants along with black suede heeled boots. I walked out of the bedroom and found Elijah waiting by the door with a black leather jacket, I had never seen him wear one before. He looked rather smug in it.
"Shall we?" He said opening the door for me. We walked to the local nightclub and the evening had begun. The neon lights flashing around the dark room and the smell of alcohol filled the room. Elijah took my hand and led me to the dance floor. There were people all around us but it was as if it was just the two of us, I had never seen him so free and careless. I liked seeing him like this and not having to worry about picking up Klaus's messes. We danced for a while and laughed. He walked closer to me shifting his shoulders side to side with every step, I followed meeting him in the middle placing my arms around his neck and pulling him to me for a kiss. He leaned in and our lips brushed against each other before a bright light with confetti exploded. I smiled looking up and Elijah watched me. He grabbed my neck and pulled me to his lips. We had a full on make out session in the dark with neon lights all around us. Once it was almost two in the morning, we left and Elijah grabbed my hand.
"I want to take you somewhere." He said and I furrowed my brows.
