**disclaimer (since i forgot last time) none of these charachters are mine just the story idea**
Stefan let his eyes adjust to the hazy blue light of the club they arrived at. Ric had gotten them a private table when he thought his brother was going to be with them. Of the four of them Ric and Stefan were the ones least inclined to actually be there. But Ric being his brothers best friend despite living a state away had already made the reservations and it wasn't like Enzo was complaining either way.
Looking out onto the dance floor he caught a flash of blonde hair and pale skin.
The same blonde hair he had seen yesterday as he entered the elevator to their hotel and again this morning as he was getting back to his room from breakfast.
The girl was beautiful. Well her profile was anyways he hadn't actually see her face.
As if hearing his thought over the loud music she turned towards him. His breath faltered and he swore time stood still as he looked at her laughing with her friends.
"Hello earth to Stefan" Ric waved his hand in front of his face. "Buddy you ok there? You know if you wanna dance that bad i'm sure Enzo won't mind taking you out there he seems to be doing just fine"
He pointed out Enzo to him who was currently wrapped around a tall redhead.
Stefan laughed " no i think i'll let him have his fun on his own" when he looked back he couldn't find his blonde. Wait his blonde? No his girl was definitely a doe eyed golden skinned brunette back in california not some blonde beauty in vegas. He let the thought go and concentrated on his drink and his friends.
But every once in awhile he scanned the crowd to see if he could catch a glimpse of the girl.
What was wrong with him that he couldn't seem to get her off his mind despite talking to Ric about how to go about his proposal to Katherine?
Caroline was having fun. Too much fun really. Well she was buzzed at least who knew if it was fun or she was just lightheaded. It was definitely a welcome change to the routine her life had become back home.
Tyler hated going out. Too many years in law school and too many hours at his father's law firm had firmly turned him into a homebody and her by association.
But as she danced with Elena and took shots with Jenna ( who knew aunt Jenna could drink Caroline Forbes under the table?) she felt herself come alive. Or maybe she felt herself getting drunk? No matter she didn't really care she just didn't want it to end which it would soon. So she laughed and danced until maid of honor Liv said that it was time for their show.
Thunder down under here we come. She laughed loudly at the thought of watching men dance around half naked. The problem with having a male best friend and a boyfriend and working in a male dominated industry was she didn't have many girlfriends. She decided she would be changing that when she got home if it meant she would be having this much fun.
On their way out of the club she noticed the man from the hotel room across from the one she was sharing with Elena and Liv. she had seen him briefly that morning. She had clearly noticed him since he had been wearing jeans with only a tight black tank that had outlined a very nice chest and broad set of shoulders. Caroline blushed remembering how hard she had worked at not staring while she made her way next door to collect the rest of her group. Thankfully he hadn't looked up until the exact moment the door in front of her opened up so she was able to rush in without any awkwardness.
As it was now if he looked up she would absolutely be caught staring at his perfect jaw line and expertly coiffed hair. The blonde next to him wasn't bad either but really next to her handsome stranger he didn't stand out much.
Caroline took one last hard look before turning turning around and following the girls out the door.
The show was fantastic. Regular men did not look like that. Well not in her experience anyways. Except maybe her stranger. She had screamed and laughed until her voice felt strained.
Drunk. Caroline was unmistakably drunk. Lucky for her she was a mostly stable drunk which could not be said for the rest of the girls. Thank goodness for her experience in 4 inch heels while holding champagne or she'd be about as fall down drunk as the rest of them. As it was the ride up the elevator was way too long for her comfort and unbearably hot. But the view from the glass elevator was breathtaking. She needed her camera and she needed to capture this view. She also needed to get out of these shoes and she needed to be wearing something less restricting.
After depositing a very drunk bride to be in her bed and putting on her favorite victoria's secret jammies she grabbed her camera and took a few pictures from the balcony in the room. Looking down at the landscape around her she snapped photo after photo. there weren't that many people now that it was nearing 5 in the morning but she could see the odd couple or group heading towards the various hotels on the strip.
As nice as the sight was it wasn't the one she wanted to capture. Making her way out into the hallway she glanced over to the window at the end of the hall. Maybe that would be good enough without risking herself getting stuck in the elevator with only her lace pajamas on.
" of course it's just the ass end of the building" Caroline muttered under her breath. Glancing over to the elevator she decided to get her pictures and get out. The sun would be rising soon and her opportunity would be over until the next night. She reached for the button just as the doors opened revealing 3 men.
"Beautiful" she whispered realizing one of them was the man she had seen at the club. The one she had made a conscious effort not to imagine was dancing for her on stage during the show. Yeah navy blue lace against her white porcelain skin was a terrible idea to be walking around in no matter how hot she was.
" mmmm i don't know sweetheart i do believe i'd call you gorgeous" one of them said looking her over. In spite ofthe fact that everything was decently covered by her clothing Caroline blushed bright red. Especially when she looked up into her strangers bright green eyes.
"Excuse him" stefan said " he's had way too much to drink. Not that he's wrong!" he rushed ahead. "Just that he shouldn't be saying it because he's. . . . drunk. . . .sorry i'll shut up now." Stefan looked over at Enzo ad Ric who both looked at him like he was as big an idiot as he felt.
"Mmhmm pardon me i'll go ahead and get this guy into bed. I'll take him in my room with me." Ric smirked at him as he made his way past Caroline dragging Enzo with him.
Caroline just stared dumbly realizing she hadn't said anything in the minute since the elevator opened. She stood there awkwardly in her slippers and pajamas with her camera in her hands. Suddenly she had a different view she wanted a picture of.
The thought made her blush even harder. She spun awkwardly on her heel, slightly unbalanced by the alcohol in her system, and tried to rush back to her room.
Stefan followed her not wanting to lose her. She was more beautiful in person half naked than he wanted to believe. If this was all he got he wasn't letting her out of his sight until he absolutely had to.
"Hey wait really i'm sorry about what he said, we didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. You really are very beautiful and he really is very drunk and has less of a filter than usual. What's your name? Im stefan. I'm here for the week with my friends. Who you already met sort of. Sorry again."
Why the hell am i talking so much? Thought Stefan. He was usually more the quiet type. He shook his head with a frown on his face realizing he probably sounded like an idiot to her right now. When he looked up again he saw that she had stopped in front of her door ad was looking at him curiously.
"Ummm yeah, no dont worry about it" she said absentmindedly
Her voice was like honey. Soft and slow. Sweet in his ears.
That's why i was talking, he thought. I wanted to hear her voice.
She had a frown on her face and looked a little panicked. He took a step back in case he was the reason for her worry. It was just the two of them in the hallway at the buttcrack of dawn after all
"Everything ok?" He asked
She chewed her lip and looked at him under her eyelashes and his breath caught in his chest.
"Im locked out" she said slowly
