"𝘾𝙇𝘼𝙍𝘼?"

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙇𝙊𝙉𝘿𝙀 𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙉𝙀𝘿 𝙃𝙀𝙍 head as she heard someone enter the house and call out her name, shutting the front door behind them. She rolled her blue eyes as she immediately recognized it as Kol, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with him, especially if he was trying to get her to turn her emotions back on.

"Up here!" She responded, a mischievous smirk started to appear on her face as she thought of a little surprise for the boy.

She jumped up from her bed to her bathroom, turning on the light and the fan as she bent down past the shower curtain. She twisted the cold and hot knobs, two seconds for the hot knob and one for the cold knob.

She now heard the brown eyed boy walking up the stairs, and she quickly shed her dark green t-shirt, it pulling slightly on strands of her hair as she did so. She tugged on her blue jeans, slipping them off easily.

Now she was standing in her bathroom with just a black set of lace lingerie, and she smirked brightly as the ancient vampire stepped into her room.

"Where are—Oh, my God," Kol's jaw dropped so fast that Clara could've sworn it hit the ground, and she batted her eyelashes as a red blush covered Kol's cheeks. He spun around, so that he was instead looking at Clara's bedroom wall rather than her body. "Can you get dressed?"

The blonde girl was hoping something else would happen, but nonetheless continued stripping as she let out an annoyed sigh. "Not my fault you interrupted my shower."

She moved her blonde locks out of the way, still a bit awkward how they only go to just above her shoulders now rather than the middle of her back. She stepped into the warm shower as she finished undressing, and let the drops trickle all over her sore body.

"Did you need something, love?" Clara asked, running her fingers through her now soaked blonde head.

"I wanted to talk to you," Kol spoke up, and it sounded like he was now standing in the bathroom rather than her bedroom.

"If you're trying to convince me to switch my humanity back on—"

"—I just want to talk," Kol interrupted her, and Clara wanted to see his face to but the shower curtain prohibited that.

She was a bit curious, to be honest, and she tilted her head a bit as she tried to think of this was some trick for him to get her to flip her switch back. She didn't answer, and instead rubbed the conditioner into her hair as she waited for him to continue.

"I wanted to show you some things."

"You know, this conversation would be better if I could see your face," Clara smiled to herself, hoping the boy would join her in the shower.

"Yeah, it would," Kol replied, and her smile only grew as she heard the boy make a shuffling noise. "So, maybe hurry it up in there?"

The shower curtain shuffled a bit as the boy placed a towel on the edge of the tub, and Clara's mischief faded from her face as she grumbled under her breath. She rinsed our the rest of the conditioner and body soap on her body, and shut off the shower. She snatched the hanging towel, and dried off her hair as she heard Kol impatiently tapping his foot on the tiled floor.

She swung open the shower curtain, exposing Kol standing there with crosses arms, and once again he had wide eyes and an open mouth as the girl stood there naked, with the towel in her hands as she smiled brightly at him.

"You might want to close that mouth of yours, wouldn't want flies getting in there, love," the girl commented, and after a moment, she wrapped the soft towel around her small body, tucking in a piece to keep it stuck. She left just enough cleavage to tease him, and she walked right past the staring, flustered boy with a little bit of a swing in her step.

"Y-You shouldn't use your body in an attempt to distract me, darling," Kol responded, clearing his throat a bit as he suddenly got back on track.

"But it worked, didn't it?"

The girl spun around just as soon as the boy entered back into her room, and she made sure she was close enough to him that they could feel each other's body heat without touching.

"We didn't have sex, did we?" Kol inquired, and Clara pursed her lips as she gave him a few points for the sarcastic comment.

"We could, you know," the girl placed her index finger on his chest softly, trailing down to his lower abdomen. Her eyes fluttered from looking at just below the belt to his brown eyes, and she batted them in hopes of melting those golden orbs.

"I'm mad at you, love," Kol tried to back away, but his back just hit the doorframe going into the bathroom.

"Angry sex?"

Kol pushed Clara off him, making her scoff as she folded her arms over her chest with narrowing her eyes at the boy. He moved away from the blonde, instead taking a seat on her bed as she continued standing.

"Like I said before, you're not going to be able to seduce me," Kol states, much more serious this time, and Clara rolled her blue eyes as she finally gave up on the fun plan of getting Kol to sleep with her.

"Your loss," the girl shrugged softly, making her way over to the closest. She pulled out a pair of black high waisted jeans with a dark purple crop top. Then fished out another lace set, this time it was white. As she held the items in her hand, she rose her eyebrows at Kol as he simply just stared at the girl. "You staying for the show?"

"Can't you change in the bathroom?"

"This is my room, last time I checked," Clara answered, looking the boy up and down as he jumped up from her bed, and made his way out the door. He shut it close as he did so, and Clara listened closely to see if he was leaving or not.

"I'll just be standing out here then," Kol answers through the door, reading the girls mind.

She shed the towel and threw on the side of the bed as she shrugged on the clothes she previously gathered. "I'm done now."

The boy reopened the door, looking quickly just to make sure she wasn't lying, and once he saw that she was fully dressed he entered again.

"No attempts to seduce me?" Kol responded sarcastically, making the blonde roll her big blue eyes.

"I don't need to try anything, you're already in love with me."

An awkward silence crept up on the two as Clara tilted her head with a smirk as the boy cleared his throat, and she saw a blush starting to grow on his cheeks.

"Oh, I forgot, the old Clara never said I wuv you, did she?" The blonde pursed her lips with a fake smile, which faded quickly as Kol's eyes didn't leave her.

"You love me?"

"Maybe I did," Clara responds, taking a step to close the space between the two of them. "But now, I could watch someone bury the white oak stake in your heart and I wouldn't even care."

Clara stared at the boy without a single emotion played out on her face, waiting for him to reply. But he he was afraid if he did say something, that his voice would break halfway. Kol could've sworn he had tears brimming at the surface of his eyes, but he quickly shed them away because he knew if he let even one tear loose, that Clara would win.

"You ready to go?" The boy swallowed hard before talking, making sure he wouldn't croak our the words.

"Fine."
