I don't own any of these characters. I'm just an ordinary fangirl inspired by my two favorite characters on TVD. This is my first steroline fanfic, I hope you guys enjoy it. Fair warning I often get lost in writing, so it might be too descriptive. Also I'm sorry if this is a long story. Remember to leave comments, so I know whether I should continue or not.
I saw her. Her creamy pale skin glistened as the lights trailed up her skin. The glossy rays of blonde streaks all tried up in a bun; never seen her with such beauty. Embroidery pearl beads running down her dress to the floor, as it outlined her curves. The dress shone millions of vibrant sparks of creamy gold. Flaring down from her knees, the silky chiffon descended out to the floor in a shade of natural beige. Those outstanding plump rosy lips perched up into a smile, which lit up the room. My eyes scanned her body as it stood there waiting for someone, anyone to approach her. Someone did...Elena.
She smirked at Caroline and stood in front of her in a stolen prom dress which was initially Caroline's. "So how do I look?" Elena stated putting one of her arms on her hips. Elena batted her eyes, trying to provoke Caroline lashing out.
"Are you kidding me?!". Caroline raised her eyebrows; a wave of anger flew through her body as she glanced at Elena. Caroline couldn't believe Elena with no humanity would turn into such a self-centered bitch. Elena and Caroline have had difficulties in the past, but they were like sisters. All this 'Elena bitchiness' drama was too much for Caroline to handle since Elena attacked her mom at the Salvatore boarding house. Seeing Elena was the last thing Caroline would need right now. Caroline approached Elena and continued; "You look like a back-stabbing b..."
Flashing my warm smile and quirking my eyebrows together; I looked up at Caroline's deep blue eyes. As she looked into my forest green eyes, she knew what I was trying to say. We never have to exchange words, because our silence would speak for itself. We are best friends; therefore we can telepathically understand each other. That was the stunning thing about our relationship, we knew each other's flaws and we helped each other stay strong.
Caroline sighed heavily, "You're dress looks beautiful, and it brings out your eyes". She gritted through her teeth as she threw those false words at Elena. "Thanks thought I'd do it a favor". Harshly, Elena stated as she planted another wicked evil smile. Her eyes dilated into pools of egotist loathing, while shrugging her shoulders up.
That was it! Caroline's body roared with ferocious rage, she breathed in deeply ready to shout out a hasty comeback. Before she could reply to that malicious comment, I entered the conversation detecting the levels of rage firing through Caroline's body. Gracefully, I approached Caroline extending my arm out towards her, while the palm of my hands opened. "Caroline, why don't you come dance with me"; I smiled genially to her.
I could tell Caroline was taken aback by the request I put out. But she knew the reason why I suggested the idea. It was because she needed to calm down. She needed space from Elena, before she started a throw-down with her. Gently, Caroline placed her hand into mine and she swiftly followed me to the dance floor. Still holding my hand, Caroline placed her other hand on my broad shoulder. I firmly gripped Caroline's hip; we both swayed to the music echoing around us.
Frustration still printed onto Caroline's face; she told me why she couldn't kill Elena. Laughing softly under my breath, I knew Caroline was still angry about the encounter with her friend. But it amused me how her vampire emotions heightened whenever she got angry. It was very fascinating and adorable to see her over worked up on little situations. It reminded me of that time when I was training Caroline how to hunt bunnies. Caroline's emotions were so magnified that she lashed out how happy she was that Matt finally told her that he loved her; but she couldn't see him as she was still getting used to being a vampire. I remember laughing at the way she was getting worked up over everything. "And now you want me to eat bunnies and I'm kinda freaking out!". Her emotions were definitely heightened back then, and still are now. I have no idea why I was thinking about that moment in the woods, but it felt familiar to me.
Pressing my lips together, a genuine smile crept upon my face. "I see you found a dress", I looked at her dress and glanced back to her face. Even though I examined her before, I couldn't stop noticing how beautiful she looked. She looked like a goddess. Caroline replied stating she got the dress from Klaus. Klaus! Hearing she got the dress from Klaus made my blood boil. I know he has a thing for Caroline, but I can't see him and her together. I don't know why it affected me so badly when she said his name. Maybe it's because of the destruction he has brought to our lives. We talked about Klaus being wrapped around Caroline and her love for Tyler. Caroline is still in love with Tyler, but I never really liked him with her. He was a dick at times to Caroline, and she deserved better.
Caroline changed the subject from her love life to mine. Surprising I wasn't hurt when I told Caroline about how there's a part of me that can't shake Elena off. Caroline always understood how I felt. "You guys were in love. This doesn't go away just because you declare you're moving on", Caroline spoke with a gentle hush tone, which sunk into my ears.
I moved away from Caroline, still taking hold of her hand; I twirled her around. As I faced her again, our hands came down from the air and I quickly replaced my hand with my opposite one and linked it into Caroline's smooth hand. Gliding Caroline closer to my chest, I consolidated my other hand on her hip. Her scent of sweet jasmine flowers and vanilla intoxicated my senses as she hovered over my shoulder. I felt her tight grip on my shoulder, which felt tingling with excitement. Dark blonde streaks neared to the side of my face as we both swayed to the soothing music. "I think that someday you'll meet someone new..." It came over as a reflex, but I glimpsed at the side of her neck when she said those words. Being so close to Caroline made me feel weird, but the good kind of weird. "And you'll fall madly in love, and you would have moved on without even realizing it", Caroline continued saying in her glorious gently voice. Caroline smiled as she said those encouraging words to me. It's as if Caroline knows that this will happen; as if she will know who the person will be.
She turned to look at me with those intense indigo orbs. The distance between our faces just mere inches away from each other; the atmosphere around us began to haze into a mist. Her rose-colored lips looked even more luxurious up close; my sight gazed to those lips thinking if they were soft like the inside of a rose. Snapping out of the trance, my eyes trailed back to her pupils. A spark ignited within her eyes, as she caught me previously staring at her lips. Lowering her feathery lashes down her face, i felt her warm gaze pinning onto my lips. Someone or something pushed us together, slowly we were closing the distance between us. As the distance was closing, her scent of flowery jasmine petals fumed my body. Her lips started to part away from each other as she took in slow breaths. We both were breathing in the same air in the small gap we had left. Avoiding what was about to happen next, I quickly brought my head to hover over her shoulder. I took deep steadily breaths, which is the result of the intimate moment we had just encountered. Neither of us pulled away from each other, because we were so wrapped up with the warm tension that we just created.
What just happened? I question myself a multiple of questions which are lingering on my mind. I glance down onto Caroline's naked porcelain shoulder, and think how she will taste like when I kiss her intensively. No! I have to stop thinking about Caroline this way. My jaw line sharpened and my eyebrows knotted in confusion. Was it true? Was this feeling inside me telling me it's true? How could I have not seen this? Caroline's words repeated over my mind again and again..."You'll fall madly in love, and you would have moved on without even realizing it". The lyrics of the music flooded through my mind and it tied in with the intimate moment me and Caroline just shared. Yes; I'll remember it all. I will remember the spark I felt when i stared into her eyes. I will remember the way i touched her hip made her shiver down her spine. I will remember the closeness of our lips away from each other. I will remember it all. I wanted to kiss her, but I pulled away due to fear. Fear of losing the only thing that is precious to me. Caroline is my light, she keeps me sane and grounded. I should have just kissed her, because it's all I can think about. She's all I can think about. However, for now I must put these thoughts away. She is in love with someone else and I have to be there for her, as her best friend.
