CHAPTER 21
Out and about in the French Quarter, Alexa is sitting on the bench in the Jackson Square. Skylar is at the Bayou, and Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah are doing some other things.
Alexa's Outfit
Alexa pulls out her phone and looks at some photos of her and Klaus. And toddler Mallory.
"Hiya, Alexa." Skylar says.
"Hi, Skylar." Alexa says.
Skylar sits down on the bench beside Alexa. "You and Klaus have a strong relationship. At first, I didn't trust Klaus. I thought his affections for you were fake. But he has a soft spot for you, Alexa. And he loves you."
"Yeah." Alexa says.
"Speaking about your hubby, Klaus, where is he?" asked Skylar.
"With Elijah and Rebekah." Alexa says. "And Mallory is with Gia at Algiers. And I'm not surprised that you're not at home, after the champagne that you drunk."
"Well, I do drink champagne. And wine. And any other alcoholic drink." Skylar says. "Anyhoo, I'll see you later, Alexa. Love you."
"Love you too." Alexa says.
Skylar gets up and walks away. Alexa's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. Alexa pulls out her phone and looks at it.
Unknown number
Alexa answers it. "Hello?"
"Perhaps, I'm not making myself clear to you, Alexa." says Aurora on the phone. "You will break up with Klaus."
"Absolutely not, Aurora. I'm not gonna breakup with Klaus." Alexa says to Aurora.
"You will breakup with Klaus. Or I will eliminate your best friend, Cami." Aurora says. "Perhaps, I'll turn Cami into a vampire."
"You leave Cami alone." Alexa says.
"You breakup with Niklaus." Aurora says, and hangs up her phone.
Alexa sighs to herself. With Aurora threaten to turn her best friend, Camille, into a vampire, Alexa becomes worried.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
In the ballroom, Alexa is sitting on the sofa, with a glum expression. Her phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.
It's a photo of Camille with the subtitle, breakup with Niklaus, or Cami becomes a vampire.
"Alexa?" Klaus says, slowly walking inside the ballroom.
Alexa looks up at him. And Klaus notices the glum expression that Alexa has. Klaus sits down beside her on the sofa.
"Alexa?" Klaus says.
Alexa looks at Klaus, glumly. "There's something I have to tell you." And gets up, slowly walking away from him.
"What is it?" Klaus asks, becoming worriedly.
Alexa looks at him. "Aurora phone-called me. She threatened to turn Cami into a vampire unless I breakup with you. Aurora is becoming obsessed with you, Klaus."
"Aurora can obsess over me all she wants." Klaus says, getting up to his feet and walks up to Alexa. "You're the woman that I love. What Aurora and I had. It's gone."
"Niklaus, Aurora was your first Love. A part of you has some affections for her." Alexa says.
"I know what you're trying to do, Love. I don't love Aurora. I love you." Klaus says.
"So, a part of you wasn't a bit surprised to see Aurora?" Alexa says.
"No, Alexa." Klaus says. "I love you."
"Until you get bored with me. And you go kissing up to Aurora. Maybe, you and me aren't meant to be together, Niklaus." says Alexa.
Klaus looks at Alexa, bewildered as Alexa walks away from him. Klaus looks at Alexa, glumly.
A tear rolls down Klaus's cheek.

ROUSSEAU'S
That evening, Klaus is sitting at the bar counter, with a half empty glass of wine on the bar counter. Camille slowly walks up to him.
"Klaus?" Camille says.
"Alexa and I had a intense fight. She said things and tried to hurt my feelings." Klaus says, without looking at her.
"Alexa loves you, Klaus." Camille says.
Klaus looks at her. "My ex-girlfriend, Aurora, threatened to turn you into a vampire unless Alexa broke up with me."
Camille sits down at the bar counter beside him. "You and Alexa didn't breakup, did you?"
"No. She tried to, but no, Alexa and I didn't break up." Klaus says.
"You Love Alexa. And she loves you." Camille says.
Klaus and Camille exchange soft expressions at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
That evening, Alexa is gazing at a fireplace. Klaus slowly walks up behind her and gently puts a necklace around her neck.
"I got it for you." says Klaus, and gently soothes Alexa's hair with his fingers.
"It's beautiful." Alexa says, and turns around to look at Klaus. "It's been a little intense between us, huh, Klaus?"
"Yes." Klaus says.
"Klaus? What I said to you." Alexa starts to say.
"I know you didn't mean it." Klaus says. "And yes, Aurora was my first love, but I have you. I love you, Alexa."
"I love you too, Klaus." Alexa says.
Klaus and Alexa exchange soft expressions at each other. And they kiss.

ALGIERS
Toddler Mallory is asleep in her baby chair with her pacifier in her mouth. Alexa and Gia are sitting on the windowsill.
"So, how are you and Elijah?" Alexa asks.
Gia smiles, gently. "Elijah and I are together."
"Awww. I'm happy for you and Elijah." Alexa says.
"Yeah. Elijah and I have been spending time together since you and Klaus married." Gia says.
"Yeah. Elijah needs to relax himself sometimes." Alexa says. "And Hayley?"
"Yeah. Hayley. She and Jackson are married. And she's in love with Elijah." Gia says.
"Yeah." Alexa says. "Well, I gotta go, But I'll see you around, Love you, Gia."
"Love you too, Alexa." Gia says.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND
Walking inside the courtyard, Alexa looks around, looking for Klaus.
"Klaus?" Alexa says.
"Hello, Alexa." Aurora says.
"Aurora, What are you doing here?" Alexa asks.
"Nik didn't tell you about our little intimacy." Aurora says to me. "After the dinner."
"What are you talking about?" Alexa asks, a bit confused.
"After the dinner, Klaus and I went upstairs to his bedroom. He even has a painting of me." Aurora says. "Come, I'll show you."
Aurora and Alexa walks upstairs to Klaus's art studio. Aurora gently pulls out a painting canvas of herself.
"Klaus didn't tell me he had a painting canvas of you, Aurora." Alexa says.
"Yeah. There's some things that Nik doesn't quite tell you, Alexa." Aurora says, and gently sets down the painting canvas on the table. And looks at Alexa. "I've known Nik for a long while. And after the dinner, Klaus and I slept together."
Alexa looks at Aurora, bewildered. Aurora looks at Alexa with a pouty expression.
"You and Klaus have some chitchatting to do." Aurora says, and walks away from Alexa.
A few minutes after,
Klaus slowly walks inside his and Alexa's bedroom, Alexa is sitting in the armchair with Aurora's painting canvas.
"Where did you get that?" Klaus asks Alexa.
"I had a little chat with Aurora." Alexa says. And looks at him. "Did you sleep with Aurora?"
Klaus looks at Alexa. "Alexa?"
"Answer the fucking question, Niklaus." Alexa says.
"Yes." Klaus says.
Alexa looks away from Klaus. "I asked you did you have affections for Aurora, and you said that you didn't."
Klaus looks away from Alexa, not able to look into her brown eyes. Alexa gets up and walks away from him.
"Alexa, wait?" Klaus says, walking after her. "Alexa?"
"Don't." Alexa says. And walks away from him.
Klaus vamp-speeds in front of Alexa. "Alexa, please, don't leave."
"Niklaus, you said you didn't love Aurora, but you slept with her!" Alexa says. And looks at him, hurtfully. "Goodbye, Niklaus."
"Alexa?" Klaus says. She walks away from him. "Alexa? Alexa?"
Alexa keeps walking away from him. Not even a glance. Klaus sits down on the sofa.
⚜️⚜️
Skylar walks inside the study to see Alexa sitting on the sofa with a glum expression.
"Alexa?" Skylar says, slowly walking to her and sits down beside her. "What is it?"
"Klaus slept with Aurora." Alexa says, tearfully.
Skylar looks at Alexa, sympathetically. Alexa lays her head on Skylar's lap. Skylar gently soothes Alexa's hair with her hand.
