Elejah: Love Story

Chapter 4: The Mansion

Elena's POV

We get to our destination and I look out the window to see a mansion!

Elijah: Welcome to my home.

Jeremy: This is your house? It's more like a mansion!

Elijah chuckles at Jeremy and shows us around the mansion. Me and Jeremy pick our rooms and get settled in.

I wake up gasping for breath and look over at my alarm clock. 2:00 AM!!! I decide to get up and wander around the mansion. I finally got to a room that I assumed to be Elijah's and knocked on it. Elijah came to the door. I was shocked to see him standing there with no shirt. I couldn't help but to stare at his six pack.

Elijah: Uhm...Elena?

My face turned bright red as I realized that he caught me admiring his body. He chuckled and I glared at him.

Elijah: So is there another reason you knocked on my door or did you just come to look at my body.

Elena: Well, I couldn't sleep and my brother's sleeping...but if you don't wanna hang out with me that's ok.

Elijah: I would love to spend time with you Elena

Elijah's POV

After I agreed to spend time with Elena her eyes lit up with happiness as I let her in the room.

Me: So Elena, tell me about yourself.

Elena: Well, what do you wanna know?

Me: Everything, how old are you?

Elena: 17, you?

Me: ...27, what else? Favorite color, favorite food, favorite book, best friend, and family? I want to know everything.

Elena: Well my favorite color is blue, favorite food is Lasagna, favorite book is The Great Gatsby, I have two best friends named Bonnie and Caroline, and the only family I have left are my brother Jer, my Aunt Jenna, my Uncle John, and my cousin Ashlynn. Do you have any family?

Me: Yes, I have 3 younger brothers and 1 little sister. That's all there is to tell about me. So why can't you sleep?

Elena: Whenever I sleep the memory comes back. I feel like I'm drowning and wake up gasping for breath.

Me: Elena, I'm here. While I am here your life will never be in danger.

I look into Elena's eyes and I see that she feels safe. I can't help but to lean in and gaze into her eyes. I was in total shock when Elena leaned in too. Before I knew it we were in the middle of a passionate kiss. Then as quick as it happened it was over.

Me: Uhm...yeah you should probably get some sleep. You can sleep in here and I'll watch over you.

Elena: Yeah...ok

Elena: Elijah, can you sleep with me...it would help me feel safer.

Me: Absolutely.
