my darling violet

chapter 5

Violet's pov

As we head out the door, I pull my bag closer to me, making sure that it's closed and I'm a safe distance away from Elijah. I see this amazing car, the most beautiful I have ever seen sitting in the parking lot. Elijah starts to head for it and I just gawk at it, my face still holds no emotion but on the inside, I have my mouth open and I've stopped walking. I don't know anything about cars, but I do know that this one is beautiful.

"Is this your car?" I ask speaking to him for the first time, Elijah whips his head to me, probably getting whiplash and smiles at me when he knows that it was me speaking.

"Yes Bambina, it's my car. Do you want to put your bag in the back, or do you want to keep it with you heading to the airport?" now it's my turn to whip my head to him after hearing him

(Bambina= baby)

"Why are we going to the airport? Don't you live here?" I ask, my nerves rising more thinking we will have to be on a plane. I've never been on one before but from what I know and have seen they're small and there's nowhere to go once you're on there

"Yes, we will be going back on our private jet home, which is in New York" Elijah says with yet another small smile, this one I can tell is because he can kind of tell that I don't want to be on one or that I'm nervous.

"I'll just keep it with me, then" I reply looking down at the oh-so-interesting concrete.

Once we're on the road I can't help the next thing that leaves my lips.

"How many brothers do I have? I mean you said that I have brothers which is multiple and even Marley said brothers" I shut up when I hear him chuckling, I really didn't mean to do that, I only ever ramble with people I'm not comfortable with and I'm nervous, so pretty much everyone except the kids at school, I really could care less about them

"You have brothers five brothers including me" Elijah chuckles

"Okay Mr Chuckles, it wasn't that funny" I say with a monotone voice looking at him while he chuckles again looking at my face 

"Oh, but it kind of was" he says while still chuckling, his laughing eventually gets me to laugh a little too

"Shut up, you're supposed to be mature" I say half whining half laughing

"Hey! I am mature, I'm the one that is driving us right now"

"Yes, but that just makes you old not mature" I counter and his head snaps to me with a playful stare

"Hey! I'm not old I'm only 23, that's young, old is like grandma and grandpa, now they're old" he says while still laughing, I stop laughing when he says we have grandparents, I've only ever had a mother and father and they both were really bad, I don't know what it's like to have anybody let alone grandparents.

Elijah notices me suddenly stop laughing and stops too, he glances over at me and goes to say something, but I beat him to it.

"We have grandparents?" I ask with a little hesitation and a small voice while looking at Elijah

"Yes Tesoro, we have grandparents, they both miss you very much along with the rest of our family" he says with a warm smile, I smile but don't say anything.

(Tesoro - treasure)

Soon after, we arrive in front of a big plane with people who appear to be guards all around the plane and runway.

Elijah gets out once he parks the car, goes up to some people trying to look scary and they talk for about two minutes before they all separate, Elijah comes back to the car and the 'scary' looking people go to the other guards and tell them all something.
