The waiting game was not Klaus' forte. He wanted to resolve the witch problem yesterday. Freya found him with one of his victims laying in the garden gazebo. 

"Disgutsting."- she said.

"Why don't you mind your own business."- Klaus sifted as he walked away to the house.

"The tomb could not be broken into. But I have something better,"

"Pray, tell?!"- Klaus said walking into the kitchen and picking up a towel to wipe his mouth off.

"Geraldine's power is now mine."

"What do you want?"- Klaus now said as he was wary of his witch sister.

"We are not different. We take what we want. We know how to cleverly play peoples's weaknesses to our own gain."- Freya said.

"You plan to take Dahlia's powers for yourself and you need something of me because it is not just waving a stone wand and there it is in your hands?!"- Klaus said smirking.

"You are so good!"- she said snarkily- " I know I have been asleep for a long while, but I happened to have overheard the mother of your child updating her spouse that a powerful witch by the name Bonnie Bennet is coming to New Orleans."

"And you want her?!"- Klaus said.

"Just think that once we defeat Dahlia, your daughter has no threat hanging over her, and I will be there by your side to protect her forever! Now witch would withstand me!"- Freya said.

"And if I decline, you will just stand aside and let Dahlia take my daughter?!" Klaus said raging in a low voice.

"Think about it?! There is always a price?!"-- Freya said walking out of the kitchen into the garden looking smug.

Klaus was left reeling with anger burning inside of him.

**************

Elena and Elijah now laid facing one another just looking at one another, still trying to take in all that had happened. 

"I feel like I fell from the stars."- Elena said joking  a bit looking at him. It was still incomprehensible to her that she was there with him.

"Sweet Elena... you are from the stars"- he could only utter giving her another peck on the lips.

"Please don't joke"

"I couldn't. I wouldn't. I only hope that you don't disappear now back and all of this was just an illusion!?"- Elijah said.

"It is very real."- Elena said smiling a little adding-"but I still need convincing"

"You do?!"- he then said smiling  back at her and then pulled her towards him gently and kissed her again.

She thought she knew all about her feelings, but this was new and although she had entertained the thought of him having feelings for her. She had never expected the whirlwind that came out of her. 

Elena's phone rang and the ringing alert was saying it was Bonnie ringing.

"Sorry...this is Bonnie!"- she said and Elijah passed the phone from the ground where her jeans were.

"Hey, Bon..."- Elena said- "I am staying at the Lamothe House. I will send you the address."

"There is no need. My man will bring her. His name is Thierry."- Elijah then said.

Bonnie having met with the vampire then hung up.

"You have it all covered. Figures"-Elena said.

"I... that was one of the reasons I came to see you about."- he said.

"Ah, so you had a reason ...somehow, there is always a reason. And if there is no reason, all this... would not be... "- Elena then said.

The words uttered felt like a slap to him.

She got up now and went to the bathroom. She felt sorry for being bitchy. And she wanted to go back to the room. 

She put the shower on. She could hear that he got dressed swiftly. She knew that he would wait. 

She took a quick shower and as she rinsed off her hair, she swiftly put the bathrobe on. As she was about to get out  she took a moment. 

Elena's POV

"Elijah. Huh...this is weird. What is wrong with me?! This was the most amazing night ever."- she smiled- "Ok, girl. He wanted me! Me!! This is not a dream. It is so real."

She took a sigh and then got out of the bathroom.

He waited sitting on the bed. He was partly dressed. His tie was on the armchair as was his jacket. He got up as she came out. It was clear that unusual awkwardness descended upon them.

"I will go."- he then said taking the jacket and the tie putting it into the jacket pocket.

Elena nodded simply, still standing by the bathroom door, not understanding why she felt uneasy.

"I am going to get dressed."- she then said gulping a little.

They both looked at the bed.

She thought he would now just whiz by her and leave, but he came up to her. 

"I want you to know this. "- he looked at her warmly-" All this, last night, this morning, meant everything. You mean everything to me!"

Elena gulped a bit. It felt like her tongue got stuck for the first time ever. The silent voices in her heart were driving her crazy.

He left and she then she finally muttered- "It meant so much to me too."
