New York, NY - Elena

"Welcome to New York Miss Gilbert." I was greeted by a sign with my name written in sharpie by the assistant of one of the producers, Stefan and her name was Mindy.

"Thank you."

"Absolutely, Miss Gilbert. We have arranged for you to stay in an apartment in Midtown close to where we will be shooting. The apartment building is owned by one of our producers Stefan, so the entire cast and crew will be staying there during the production. We will now head straight to Mr. Salvatore's office for your chemistry test with Klaus, who plays George. He is British, and he is really cute, I reckon you both will have instance chemistry."

I blushed, "I hope so, I'm here to make the best movie I can. And please call me Elena."

"Okay Elena, now follow me to the town car."

We were driven by a chauffeur, navigating our way through NY's morning rush hour, finally, an hour later we arrived in front of the office building. During our car ride, Mindy gave me the excerpt from the script which Klaus and I had to reenact for the producers. I was on the phone the entire time, responding to work emails, and informing everyone back home that I made it to New York just fine and that I was off to my chemistry test. I texted Caroline and told her that my co- star was going to be Klaus Mikaelson and asked her if she knew of him. She quickly responded that she had a friend who worked alongside him and her remark was that he was extremely flirty towards everyone and was extremely attractive. Her exact words were, "Yea, he will make Matt extremely jealous." Great, I thought to myself, another problem I have to deal with. I texted Matt about him and told him that he has absolutely nothing to worry about. He responded, "Of course, I trust you enough in our relationship." That made me feel a bit more relieved.

We enter the building, I looked at the directory and saw 501-10 Salvatore Hotels Corp. 601-10 Salvatore Hotel Corp. 701-10 Salvatore Hotel Corp. I asked Mindy, "Are you sure we are at the right building, look, it says Salvatore Hotel Corps, aren't we supposed to go some sort of production company?"

"Like I mentioned before Mr. Stefan Salvatore, the producer who you will be auditioning for, his family owns Salvatore Hotel Corp. and a lot of New York City's most expensive real estate and the building that you will be staying in is also his family company's. So no you are wrong, we are at the right place. Now did you bring your ID card."

"Yes, hold on let me find it in my bag." I said as a rummaged through my messy carry- on bag filled with documents and contracts and my flight essentials. "Found it." I handed over my ID Card to the security at the front desk, it is a protocol for the security of the building to check everyone's ID to see if they have been registered to enter the building. We were then escorted by Salvatore Hotel Corp. employees up to the 7th floor where Mr. Stefan Salvatore would be waiting for my arrival. Their office was much more simplistic than I thought, everything was either in black or white, decor- wise. Mindy led my through the cubicles and we arrived before Stefan's office.

*Knock**Knock* "Yes, who is it."

"It's me Mindy, Mr. Salvatore, I have Elena Gilbert with me."

"Great, have her come in please." Mindy opened the door and motioned me to enter. I timidly walked towards Mr. Salvatore, "Nice to meet you Mr. Salvatore, I'm Elena." I said as I reached my arm out for a handshake.

"It's so good to finally meet you. I'm Stefan, and please call me Stefan." Hmm, Mr. Salvatore is not too shabby himself, I'm surprise he didn't opt to be in front of the camera.

"Klaus should be here any minute, he texted me and he said he is coming straight from SoulCycle so he should be here in about 5 minutes. In the meantime, tell me more about yourself, what have you been up to recently?"

"Well, I just wrapped up a summer movie which is set to premiere next summer which I am really excited about. At the same time I have been recording for Pixar's new animated movie Cars 2, which has been quite a nice change of scenery as I have never done a voice over before. So it's been quite a busy couple of months."

"Wow Elena, I'm impressed, it's true when they says you are one of the most hard- working up and coming stars. I just looked over your résumé and I have to say, you really are going to great things Miss Gilbert, they say your role in Moonwalk is up for nomination for the Golden Globes."

"Thank you sir, that's really nice for you to say. I'm also-" Before I could finish my sentence, we were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Come in." We were both expecting it to be Klaus but when he started speaking without the British accent I knew it wasn't him.

"Stefan, I need you to confirm right now if you can come to Turks and Caicos for the grand opening 5 months from now."

"Yea, Breakfast at Tiffany's will be done with production by then, so yea I should make it, and plus I won't miss an opportunity to Turks and Caicos are you kidding me?"

"Right, brother, okay I will tell Dad you are coming." If I thought Stefan was cute, this guy was every girl's fantasy. He was dark, tall and handsome, had the bluest eyes that could compete with the waters of Maldives, his hair was at perfect length with the correct shade of black, he was well- dressed in a slim fit suit, probably custom made and not to mention he had just the right amount of scruff on his chiseled jaws. He was perfect. Crap, I can't fantasize another man, I am happily in a relationship with matt. But my god was he absolutely gorgeous.

He averted his eyes towards me, our eyes meet, he gave me a smirk, "Pardon my interruption, my name is Damon Salvatore by the way, I'm Stefan's older brother, and I'm also the CEO of the company."

"Hi, my name is Elena and I'm actually working for your brother for the next 3 months, nice to meet you" Before I reached my arm over for a friendly handshake, he lifted my hand gently and brought it up to his mouth for a kiss, "The pleasure is mine." I was a little thrown off by his ego and he seems a little too touchy feely for me, especially since I have a boyfriend, I'm not used to men greeting me with a kiss on my hand.

"Well, I will leave you two together, it was nice meeting you Elena and would you care to join us out tonight, I'm throwing Stefan a celebration party for producing Breakfast at Tiffany's, and it would be great if you could join us."

"Sure I would love to."

"Sounds great, Stefan will give you the details for the location and time, won't you baby bro? So see you tonight then."

"See you."

"Well, your brother seems a little…"

"Cocky?"

"I wouldn't say cocky…"

"It's fine, you can say it he is extremely full of himself, but I love him because he is my older brother and I know he will always have my back."

"You two don't really look alike either."

"People say I take on my mother's side, and Damon is the exact replica of my father."

Klaus finally comes in, and we did our chemistry test together and it worked out perfectly. Everything went as planned and Stefan was happy with what we delivered. Stefan also invited him to come tonight to the party and apparently many important people from the industry will be there tonight so we had to be on our best behaviors, which means no more than 2 drinks for me. Klaus and I got along really well, he is such a charismatic guy and we both have mutual friends from the industry and we both love dogs. He informed me he is single and is looking for a relationship, I told him that my best friend is single as well, fresh out of a relationship and I think that they would look cute together. Being the gentleman he is, he kindly asked to see a photo of her, I showed him a picture of Caroline looking stunning in a Ellie Saab dress at this year's Emmy's and his initial reaction was, "Wow, she is a smoke bomb, she really is fit isn't she?"

"Yea, she is also a great person, she is beautiful inside and out. I'll hook you guys up when she comes to visit me in New York."

"Elena, if this works out, I will be in debt to you for life."

"Oh god Klaus, don't be silly."
