Davina looked among the clothing racks, enjoying her new found freedom. Since the moonstones had been destroyed, Klaus required her help less than ever and her hold on Mikael was still as strong as ever. Other than her inability to break klaus' sireline, her plan was going well. Soon enough she would have the answer and Katherine's blood would magnify her magic, guaranteeing that she would be successful.
Looking up from her browsing, Davina felt a smile tug at her lips as a familiar face came into the store. Kaleb. The newest, and best looking, inhabitant of The French Quarter. Hurriedly checking that she looked presentable, in one of the store's many mirrors, Davina turned and walked towards him.
"Are you following me?" Davina asked, forcing a giggle back down her throat.

For over two weeks he'd been hanging back in the shadows watching where Davina went most. His mother had told him to watch the witch despite the fact that all the harvest power no longer resided in her she was still strong and would make a good ally. For the first week he'd been hidden, the second week he'd started to slowly making appearances places he knew she would be. The record store, book stores, occult stores and most recently vintage clothing stores. All the businesses were local staples and he wasn't always there the same time Davina was.
It was important to place himself in her world, to make himself look like someone she would want to know. Walking into the clothing store he stopped at the front counter and talked to Melissa who was currently working. In the past he wouldn't have bothered to learn anything about anyone but now it was important to what he was after. After a short conversation he began to look at clothes since in truth given his new body he did need new clothes.
He could feel Davina's eyes on him but he pretended not to notice as he looked over some shirts. As she spoke he looked up as if he hadn't noticed her before a small smile coming to his lip, "Me following you? I buy my clothes likes everyone else but it is a lovely surprise...Davina." His voice seemed to lower slightly as he said her name.

A slight shiver went up Davina's spine as Kaleb said her name. She wasn't exactly sure what to say that wouldn't make her seem completely lame. It had been a long time since she had felt a connection to anyone. Marcel and Josh were both gone, exiled from the city, and everyone left either wanted to hurt her or use her. Davina saw Kaleb as another stepping stone to living a normal life, well as normal as possible. He was one of the few people who didn't know who, or what, she was. He liked her for her.
"So, are you gonna be starting school soon?" Davina sincerely hoped so since it would guarantee her the chance to spend more time with this handsome stranger who seemed to appear out of nowhere at times. That fact alone should have made her uneasy about him but, there was something in him that she found difficult to resist.

When he told Esther that Davina seemed to like him he hadn't been joking but then again he'd gotten Jeremy Gilbert to become his friend. Though that hadn't really ended in his favor so he was hoping for better this time around. The girl always seemed to have some sort of guard up as if afraid to let the world in and yet around him it was like a moth to a flame.
"Should be, though coming in at the middle of the semester I might be behind." Forcing a frown he acted as if the idea truly bothered him. Hell he'd never been to high school that had been Rebekah's twisted dream and he wasn't looking forward to it.
His hand trailed over a rack of shirts as he pretended to split his attention between the garments and her but he was watching her every move. Pulling a simple light weight, long sleeve grey shirt from the rack he looked at her, "This me? I always have a hard time deciding." The question almost made him laugh since none of this was him but he kept it to himself.

Davina pursed her lips together as Kaleb stressed over being behind in school. She had worried about the same thing when she started high school again. "You know...I started school late this year too.....Maybe we could study together sometime." She tried to sound casual but was afraid that she just came across as pathetic. For a powerful witch, she sure lacked confidence around Kaleb.
Cocking her head, Davina studied the shirt Kaleb was holding. "Yeah, I think that shirt will look good on you." Davina couldn't actually think of anything that wouldn't look good on Kaleb.

His eyes moved to her lips and the way she pursed them as he spoke before looking back up at her eyes. "Really?" He asked as if he didn't believe the fact that she could ever be behind, "I think I'd like that, would make school a little easier goin' in if I had a friend." The words were spoken as if they were the honest truth as if the worst case would be going in knowing no one. Of course he didn't really care since the only person that currently mattered was Davina, she was his focus as his Mum had said.
A smirk pulled on his lips, yep Davina Claire definitely liked his body he could tell by the look of appreciation she gave as she studied the shirt and then him. "Think I'll get it then." He laid the fabric over his arm as he continued moving through the rack of clothes not caring too much for anything he saw.
"So what were you doing here? Looking for something to wear to dance around your room while listening to Icelandic folk music?" He chuckled teasing her on how she was always going to pick up records from the store that seemed so out of character. The reason behind the records was something he was very interested in.

Davina understood where Kaleb was coming from in his relief to knowing at least one person at school. Although she was sure that he would get to know a lot of people quickly. His cool personality and good looks would make him a magnet for people, especially girls. She frowned a little at the thought of some swanky girl trying to gain his attention.
She smiled and looked at the clothes, which suddenly lost their interest. She picked up a top and looked held it up to herself looking in the mirror. Deciding she didn't like the color, she put it back.
Davina giggled as Kaleb teased her. "One day I'll have to introduce you to my friend so you'll believe the records weren't for me." She felt her cheeks grow warm as she blushed light pink.

Was that a hint of jealousy he detected in her gaze? Interesting. He filed that way to think on later as he gave her a smile since she seemed to open up a little more every time he did.
When she turned away from him to focus on clothes he followed her explain watching her from the corner of his eyes. She glanced over and their eyes locked for a second before he quickly looked down doing his back to act sheepish. Though when she picked out a shirt and held it up herself in the mirror he took notice, "Not really you but maybe this one?"
Picking up a cream colored top with flowing sleeves and a v-neckline he moved to hold it in front of her his hand far enough way not to accidentally touch her. The goal was to make her feel comfortable around him and yes he'd done that before with little Gilbert but that was male bonding this was something else all together, "Pretty." He said smiling at her in the mirror.
When she giggled he knew he had her where he needed her to be, now he just needed to keep her there. "A friend you buy records for? Must be someone that means something to you." A slight frown came over his face as if he were thinking about it all out off context as if it might be an important boy in her life.

Davina felt that same shiver go up her spine when Kaleb stood close to her, holding the blouse up in front of her. She had to admit, the boy had taste. The blouse suited her very well and Davina smiled as she grabbed the hanger, blushing once more as her fingers brushed gently against his.
The thought that Kaleb was worried about another man in her life made a slight smile cross Davina's lips. "Well, maybe one day I'll tell you about him. Until then you'll have to just wonder."

For some reason he rather enjoyed the way Davina reacted to him, it was new though this whole being a nice pretty boy thing was rather new in general. It was a matter of importance and needed a delicate hand or at least that's what his Mum had said and honestly he wasn't normally the first pick for that sort of thing. Noticing her blush he pretended like he didn't as their fingers brushed against each other more by design than chance.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're cruel Davina?" It was obvious he was joking by the false look of sorrow on his face before he gave her a grin. "Leaving a boy to wonder if he really has a chance."

Was Kaleb really worried that she wasn't interested in him? She thought that she has been idiotic ally obvious but, maybe she was just being self-conscious. She smirked Nd turned to walk towards another rack of clothes. She held up a pair of black jeans and held them against her, trying to judge if they were the right length for her.
"You wouldn't like me if I made it easy for you Kaleb."
Davina had surprised herself with her last comment. She found herself growing more comfortable by the minute. What was it about Kaleb that she found so sexy and appealing?

She seemed to buy the fact that he might not think she liked him. Though he would have too be blind and deaf to think any different. "I'd say at least try those on." He said tilting his head as if trying to judge how the fabric would look when on and stretched over her lower half.
When she said he wouldn't like her if she made it easy he couldn't help but chuckle, "I do like pretty girls with sharp tongues."
The cell phone in his pocket chimed telling him he had a message. Frowning he pulled it out of his pocket and saw a text from his Mum. "Shit, forgot I was supposed to be back home a half hour ago. Must have lost track of time somehow." He said looking at her since she was obviously the cause. He didn't really have to be home but there wasn't really an easy way to explain he needed to go see his Mum who was possessing a teenage girl.
Grabbing the shirt he'd helped her pick out he headed towards the front of the store and paid for his shirt and her own before tossing it back at her. "I'll see you around Davina."

Davina started to protest when Kaleb took her top to the counter. The only person who had bought her clothes before, other than her parents, was Marcel. It felt strange to have a man she barely even knew buying her clothing. By the time she opened her mouth, however, Kaleb had already bought it and tossed it back into her arms.
As she watched him walk out of the store, Davina wondered what his family was like? We're his parents nice? Did he have arms siblings? Hopefully, in time, she would discover the answers to those questions and more.
