"There - if this doesn't make you feel better - I don't know what will."  Caroline said as she put the box of chocolate goodies on the kitchen table.

"Was there no ice-cream?" Elena said brushing off the tear escaping her red rimmed eyes.

"Chocolate will make it ten-thousand times better. What did Damon do now?"

"Damon? Nothing."  Elena took a bite of the doughnut filled with Nutella.

Caroline looked at her friend somewhat gone out.

"So why were crying?"

"It's not Damon. It's Elijah." Elena said taking another bite, feeling already the effects of the chocolate in her system bringing the serotonin to work.

"Elijah? Now you got me completely confused. Why would you cry over - OMG! I saw you whispering about something at the Ball - and - the other day - ok, how long has this been going on? If something was going on-which obviously did. The other day I openrd my heart to you about Klaus - but you kept everything to yourself about Elijah."

"Nothing happened - we - only kissed once - like months ago in Willoughby"

"What? And - why would you not tell me - us"

"Because I - huh- like it matters now - he left with Hayley - and when I went to the Mansion to talk - Rebekah sent me up to Elijah's room and she was asleep in his bed."

"That bitch!" Caroline sifted-"First Klaus and now Elijah."

Taking the box in her arms, Elena walked to the living room.

"Yep. I should have told him how I felt right after we got back from Willoughby." Elena said taking the injection filled with the hazelnut chocolate spread, shooting a long squirt of it in her mouth.

"Why didn't you? You only had like thousand meetings with him about the Cure" Caroline said.

Elena drew a long deep breath,"Because I was stupid. And everytime it was like Hope and then Rebekah disappearing, then Klaus and Aurora"

"Don't remind me of that"  Caroline now bit into a daughnut.

Continuing to indulge in the more chocolate, the friends talked about life before the complications called Mikaelsons brothers arrived in Mystic Falls.

As Caroline left a couple of hours later, Elena fell asleep. Dreaming of none other than the Original vampire, the dreamy Elijah Mikaelson.

Dream sequence

Keeping his eyes on her, Elijah dragged off his shirt.
He was a gorgeous man. And she gasped devouring him greedily with her eyes. She pulled herself up from the bed and now pressed her lips on his perfect abs, sliding her hands round the bare skin of his back, continuing to trail small kisses up, making the vampire groan with pleasure. Elijah sucked in a gasping breath, gently pulling her up to him, pressing his lips on hers.
