''He took me to a striptease bar! '' I said, again. ''I know, but his intention was good?'' said Bonnie.

I gave her a sarcastic look which made her keep her mouth.

''Look, I know that the way he does things isn't always right but why he does it is always right.'' She said as she ordered two diet cokes. We were in the mystic grill and it was full crowded tonight. ''I don't know it anymore, Bonnie. I mean, you are right, his intentions are good but he can be so…overwhelming.''

Bonnie's eyes suddenly widened and she started saying words that I had never ever heard in my entire life. They seemed old en from a foreign language.

''Bonnie!''

I tried to get her attention but she didn't see me.'' Bonnie, please answer me!'' I said while I was shaking her.

Then her eyes went back to normal and she breathed very deep in. But her eyes actually didn't went back to normal, they were different but I couldn't tell what was different.

''Are you all right?''

I asked but never got an answer because she stood up and walked away leaving me behind alone. I was frozen from what just had happened. She just probably had a bad day. I looked at my watch and needed to hurry if I wanted to come still on time by Stefan. That's when it hit me. Bonnie was my lift but she was gone.

As a miracle, Caroline walked in. With our English teacher. They held hands and looked like they came from a party. So typical Caroline. I walked over at her and greeted Mr. Saltzman.

''Caroline, I have a favour to ask of you."

"You can ask me anything, cutip-p-pie"

she said while she put her finger on my lips. I took away her hand and sighed. Not a chance she was bringing me home.

''What do you need Elena? " Mr Saltzman asked. "Maybe I can help?" he suggested while holding Caroline.

"If you could take care of her it would already help so much."

I said and looked around to see if there wasn't anyone else here who didn't run away without a reason, was drunk or had to take care of a drunk person. There was no other option than to call Stefan to get me. I went outside, dialled his number and waited for the tone to go over. After the second beep he answered and said

"hello?".

''Well hello to you too stranger. I have a little problem and I have to ask you for a favour.''I said while biting my lip.

''Again? I should keep up how many favours you have to return me.''

''In comparison that you get my attention it should be all right. I think it is even then." I said while holding my jacket close to me because of the strong cold wind.

"I will think about it. But what is it this time you need my precious?"

"I will tell you later why I need the lift but could you come and get me?"

No answer.

''Hello?''

I looked on my cell phone and saw he had hung up. Strange. I called again and heard a phone ringing right behind me…''Hello?'' a voice said behind me and through the speaker of my phone. I hang up and turned around to greet my saviour, my Salvatore.

''A young woman, standing alone when its dark. The perfect prey for a vampire you know." He said and acted like he was going to bite me.

''Don't be so ridiculous, vampires only exists in faire tales.'' I said and then winked. ''If you truly believe that, my precious, I will have to disappoint you. You are currently dating one, if I may say so.''

He swept me of my feet en ran so hard with me in his arms that we were within half a minute home. Normally it took twenty minutes or less to drive from the mansion to the grill in a car. ''Did I already told you that I love you?'' I said while kissing him. He kissed me back and we stood there in his front garden about ten minutes and then went inside.

''You already thought about the turning?'' he asked carefully. I sighed. ''It is a hard choice to make.'' He nodded. ''it indeed is. Take your time.'' He then started say something but stopped and looked me in the eyes.

'' What?'' I asked him.

He smiled like he was shy, which he was never and said '' To me, it doesn't matter who you choose, I will always love you.''

I kissed him and he kissed me hard back while pushing me against the back of the couch. I pulled him closer and he started kissing in my neck and went lower until he reached my stomach. I took his head between my hands, forced him to look at me and said '' I will also always love you, forever and ever.''

He smiled and lifted me in the air like I weighed nothing at all. But to him I did weigh nothing. He was so strong and that was really manly and sexy. I could see every single muscle tense in his arms as he lifted me above his head while we were making little circles.
