chapter 18 Idiots

In my short twenty-one years of living, I kissed my fair share of boys and even some girls.

But kissing Elijah felt like... well, it felt quite unlike anything I ever experienced.

His kisses were like taking a leap of fate and jumping into bottomless waters. It was like sinking down and down, like drowning and breathing for the first time.

It was intoxicating.

The kiss lasted for a quite long time until we were forced to separate.

Both breathless.

Both satisfied.

I felt my lips tingling and heat spreading through my body, but I still kept my eyes closed. I felt Elijah putting his forehead on mine.

"That was..." I started but after a few moments couldn't find the right word to describe this.

"Breathtaking," he murmured and I involuntarily giggled.

"Yeah, it was." I agreed with him and burrowed my head into his shoulder while greedily inhaling his scent.

We spent a couple of minutes just like this. Enjoying each others presence.

Until I felt my eyelids dropping.

"Let get you to the bed, elskan," he muttered and I sleepily nodded.

"You need sleep too 'Lijah," I mumbled while he carried me towards my room.

He just silently chuckled.

"Only when I get my beautiful sleepyhead to the bed."

Awww isn't he cute

After a few moments I was laying under sheets, I patted the place next to me and looked sleepily at him waiting for him to move.

For moment he looked unsure but after couple of seconds of debating he started to disrobe.

I couldn't help but whistle in appreciation when he took off his shirt.

And believe me, he looked good.

Super good.

And smug too.

When he was in my bed I lifted myself so I was almost laying on his chest while hooking my leg around his hips.

Elijah automatically wrapped his arms around me and I burrowed my head into his chest while deeply breathing in his scent.

I could feel my eyelids dropping.

And the last thing I felt was Elijah's lips on my forehead and his fingers caressing my leg.

No one's POV

Elijah stared at his beloved while she slept in his arms. He still could feel his lips tingling from their shared kiss.

And seven hells, he couldn't remember a time when he was happy like now.

She was magnificent and beautiful.

And so fierce

But most importantly she was his.

and his brothers, apparently.

The second oldest original frowned at that thought, but still couldn't help but feel sparks of hope in his heart.

Maybe they could be family again.

Elijah kissed the girl's temple.

"You are the light of my heart and the comfort of my soul, Nicolette Green. "

LINE BREAK

Nicolette's POV

I woke up more cheerful than I ever was in the morning.

I still could remember kissing Elijah, how his lips fit against mine.

How his strong arms felt wrapped around my body.

Gosh, I could get used to it.

Without thinking my lips curled into the goofy smile at the memory of the previous day.

"The good way to start a day." I cheerfully murmured to myself while walking out from the shower.

Still clad in towel and humming some song from my home when I heard a loud crash following the sound of someone shouting.

Someone who suspiciously sounded like Kol and Nik.

Without thinking I dashed downstairs into the living room where I stopped in tracks because of the condition of the living room.

The beautiful café table was broken, burgundy velvet armchairs were thrown around the room, one of them broken beyond repair.

But what caught my attention was three men fighting in the middle of the room.

Both Nik and Kol looked furious, like really furious with their fangs bared at Elijah, who was mockingly smirking at them.

Few little wrinkles and some pieces of glass on his suit told me that he was the reason for fight.

What in seven hells happened?!

"What the hell happened?" I voiced my thoughts loudly and instantly they turned to me.

Maybe it wasn't the brightest idea of mine to face them just in my towel.

Scratch that, it's a terrible idea.

I could just because of the way they were gawking at my almost half-naked body.

Curse you, Lett.

I just grabbed the towel tighter and crossed my arms over my chest.

Their eyes darkened.

"Well?" I impatiently raised an eyebrow. My question kind of break them off daze, and they stood straighter.

Kol mimicked my position and crossed his arms. Elijah just smirked smugly.

I admit that smirk its attractive.

"We have a little disagreement." Niklaus started and took a few steps towards me. I didn't miss the venomous glare sent Elijah's way.

"But you don't need to worry your beautiful little head of anything," Kol finished and growled at his brother.

Elijah just clapped a hand on the Kol's shoulder still smirking.

"My youngest brother is right," he agreed and smiled a little too widely.

I squinted my eyes at them, but finally just sighed.

Not worth it.

"Children. All of you." I muttered and rubbed my eyes in annoyance. I saw in the corner of my eye how Kol pouted.

Children.

"What disagreement?" I inquired while searching my mind to answer.

"That Elijah slept in my bed with me? Because of that you thought it was great idea throw him at the table?" I asked them and without letting them to answer continued

"Because yeah, that's a good idea!" I sarcastically cheered and was glad that they at least had the decency to look bit ashamed.

"You know it's hard to me, but I'm trying to treat you evenly because I care for you the same," I added in a much quieter voice.

Kol flashed in front of me.

"Letty, baby" he started but I lifted my palm to silence him.

"I'm just going to change." I murmured and turned around. My good mood was gone.

I hate it when people I care about were fighting.

I took my time to dress up, because I wasn't quite ready to meet them even If I knew that they were guilty about that.

To be honest, I wasn't angry at them, not really, but I wasn't ready to deal with their jealousy to each other.

Don't they get that I cared for them evenly?

I know, Nik and Elijah were played by both Katerina and Tatia but still.

I sighed quite loudly and looked at my reflection in the mirror and tilted my head to the left side.

My fingers absentmindedly were playing with my old necklace.

I was thinking about what to do next when I heard knocking.

I already knew who it was.

I opened the door and faced three guilty vampires. I leaned at the door with my shoulder and looked at them expectantly.

"Please forgive us, elskan." Elijah started "We were wrong to fight over this," Nik added, and I felt my corner of lips turning up.

"Oh C'mon you can't be mad at us," Kol whined and I snorted. Elijah without looking flicked him on the head.

"You are idiots, guys. But you are my idiots who I started to care for." I exclaimed and saw how they all looked relieved.
