Author's note: Hi, to anyone reading this is my first fanfic so would appreciate any support/critique. This story is AU/AH and based on Stefan and Elena. Basically, Stefan and Elena are at college in the same friendship group with Nik, Caroline, Bonnie and Matt. However, Stefan and Elena don't particularly get on as Stefan loves to tease and Elena, and Elena can't stand the way he acts like an arrogant asshole. Despite their constant arguments, Stefan and Elena both feel an underlying attraction to each other that is bound to slowly unravel. Their love story will develop slowly but STELENA ENDGAME is guaranteed! Hope you enjoy!
{Elena's POV}
"Will you just choose a movie already? And before you ask, no we are not watching the Notebook again." I whined as Nik and Caroline ignored their surroundings in their cringey bubble of love. Caroline invited me to her apartment for a movie night, which of course included Klaus as he practically lives in Caroline's bedroom anyway.
"Oh, come on Elena we all know that under your cold façade you're really a hopeless romantic at heart" Caroline teased as I shot her a piercing glare. Laughing at their interaction, Nik suggested that we should just watch a comedy to please everyone.
"Fine we'll watch a comedy as long as I get a whole bag of popcorn" I stated. Rolling their eyes, they agreed to my demand. The Hangover was the selected movie, which no one could complain about as everyone knew how hilarious it is.
Nik and Caroline curled up closer to each other on the couch whilst I spread across my own couch trying to get comfortable. Although I act like Nik and Caroline and every other successful love story make me want to throw up, I am secretly jealous. Just like every girl, I long for someone to fall asleep and wake up next to, I long for a best friend and lover I can trust with all my secrets and just as importantly I long for someone who could warm my heart with just a smile but also make me moan and writhe in the bedroom. Hey, I'm a girl and I have needs.
Just as the movie was about to start, there was a loud thump at the door. I glared at the door in annoyance as Stefan came strolling in with that stupid smirk on his face.
"Watching a movie without me? I've never felt so betrayed" gasped Stefan, pretending to be upset. God he's so annoying.
"Yeah well last I saw you were still laying your sleazy pick up lines on that waitress at the Grill" I spat at Stefan as I narrowed my eyes. I swear he lives to annoy me. Earlier on we were all at the Grill, when this dumb blonde waitress started trailing her fingers over Stefan's arm whilst taking his order and for some reason I don't why it pissed me off. Of course, Stefan being the womaniser he is returned her affections, adding to my anger. Trust me, I'm not jealous. Am I? No, no, no, seriously I'm not. I internally decided the reason why I got angry at him is because of the way he treats girls. I lied to myself but shrugged it off as I was pulled out of my thoughts by his voice.
"Ouch Gilbert. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're jealous" Stefan mused sending his signature smirk my way.
"Well it's a good thing your stupid then because I'm not jealous. Are you gonna sit and watch this movie or not?". Lying to myself again I snapped at him, making him, Caroline and Nik chuckle at my response.
Answering my question, Stefan waltzed over to the couch where I was sat and lifted my legs, as he sat down he placed my legs back down on his lap. For some unexplainable reason, when Stefan simply just touched my legs, I felt this surge of electricity invade every inch of my body and it left me wanting more. Whilst his attention was focused on the screen, I kept on stealing glances. Although I would never admit it to anyone else, damn he looked good. He was wearing a simple white t-shirt which hugged his muscled arms and torso, black skinny jeans that hung devilishly low on his hips and his trademark black and white vans. Not only that, I swear he was designed by angels to be a Greek god. He had a defined jaw line, a beautifully crooked smile and these gorgeous emerald eyes I would love to just drown in, and his sandy, ruffled hair was perfect, I want to run my fingers through it and tug on it while we….NO, Elena! Get your mind out of the gutter I told myself. This was Stefan we're talking about, the guy who knows exactly how to wind me up, the guy who has every girl wrapped around his little finger and the guy who would break your heart. Awkwardly, staring at the screen I tried to think about everything but Stefan.
