CHAPTER THREE

"You!" Elena nearly growled through gritted teeth as he smiled at her, running his hands through his dark brown hair.

"I have a name...Miss...?" He began to ask just as the back door of the B&B flung open and Bonnie came in, holding a box full of towels. "Stefan! Will you help me with these?" She asked, making her way towards the front of the lobby area where Elena was standing with her hands on her hips and a displeased look on her face.

Bonnie handed the box over to Stefan and wiped her hands onto her light colored jeans as she looked up and nearly screamed with excitement. "Oh My God! Elena!" She shouted as Stefan set the box down onto the floor by an old wooden table and straightened himself out, looking over at the two women who were now squealing and embracing each other tightly.

He watched them in total confusion as the two women broke apart from each other. Both of them smiling from ear to ear. "My God. It's been like what two years since I saw you last?" Bonnie asked, still holding onto Elena's hands tightly.

"Yeah, about that. Bonnie, I'm sorry that I didn't keep in contact with you more. You were just busy with this place and my brother and..." Her voice trailed off.

"None sense! Your here, Now! That's all I care about! Just wait until your brother see's you..he's going to have a heart attack!" Bonnie told her in an excited tone as she let go of Elena's hands and they both jumped a bit when they heard Stefan clear his throat.

"Oh my. I'm sorry. Elena this is Stefan Salvatore. His brother and him are doing some remodeling on the B&B. He's a contractor and part time employee that I hired to help me with the heavy stuff...I sprained my ankle a month ago and it's still messed up. So, whenever Jeremy is busy. I ask one of these guys to help me out." Bonnie explained as they both watched Stefan smile at them.

He pushed himself off of the wall that he was leaning against and walked over to Elena. Extending his hand out as a grin crept upon his face. "Oh, I've already met Elena over here. She tried to kill me with her car!" He turned as he spoke to Bonnie and watched as the young woman's face contorted with horror.

"What?" Bonnie asked in a confused tone as she turned towards Elena. Her cheeks bright red from the sudden admission on Stefan's part.

"It was an accident. I thought that he was going to be turning down another road and when he slammed on his breaks. He nearly went flying into a ditch. It was nothing more than an accident. I mean, look at him. He's alive, isn't he?" Elena tried to explain as she ran her fingers through her hair and looked over at Bonnie with apologetic eyes.

"Barely." Stefan cut in quickly as he placed his hand over his heart and winked at Elena.

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. "Yes, he's fine. I'm surprised though because the way he drives on that motorcycle, you would think that you were going to die when you rode with him." Bonnie commented as she stuck her tongue out playfully at Stefan.

He rolled his eyes at her and then laughed. "Oh, you know you love it, Bonnie. Anyways, I'm off to go make sure that my brother is actually doing some work out on that addition and not fooling around with his girlfriend. See you around, killer." Stefan said with another wink, turning fully toward Elena as he disappeared out of their view with a huge smile on his face.

Once Stefan left. Bonnie dragged Elena to sit down on a white colored sofa that was in the lobby. She glanced over at Elena and eagerly waited for her to speak. But, when she saw that her best friend sat in her seat, silently. Bonnie spoke up first.

"So, how are things with Daniel?" She asked curiously.

Elena let out a huff as she locked her brown eyes with Bonnie's and then smiled sadly at her. "That's the whole reason I'm here. Bon, I left him. I...I just couldn't deal with the pressures of being someone's wife. I mean, girlfriend is fine. But, fiancé, wife...eventually a mother. It's scares the living shit out of me and to be honest...I couldn't picture a future with Daniel." Elena explained as she watched Bonnie's eyes widen.

Bonnie threw up her hand as she glanced at her. "Wait, What? He asked you to marry him!" She shrieked.

Elena's face turned red as she placed her finger to her own lips and tried her best to calm her best friend down. "Shhh. Yes. He asked me to marry him the other night and I literally bolted out of the house. To be perfectly clear, I've wanted to leave him for a while. Daniel and I just weren't working out and it had gotten to the point where it just wasn't what it used to be anymore. " Elena explained as she locked her eyes onto Bonnie's. Bonnie nodded in response as she exhaled deeply.

"So, have you figured out what you're going to do next?" Bonnie asked her, tilting her head to the side as she waited for a nervous Elena to respond.

"Well, I was...Hoping that I could stay here for a while. You know, just until I get my feet back onto the ground. I'll even pay for a room and everything. I promise, if you and Jer need extra help around this place. I can help out too." She told Bonnie truthfully, glancing at her for some sort of approval.

"I guess, you can stay. We do need someone to manage the phones and stuff like that, while I'm out running errands. I can even pay you for it." Bonnie explained as she smiled at Elena.

Two hours later and after two empty coffee cups in front of her, Elena got up from her seat on the couch as Bonnie handed her a key to her new temporary room. "Stay as long as you'd like. I'm going to go call your brother and tell him to get home." Bonnie said, smiling widely as she excused herself from the room.

Elena huffed out a breath as she pushed the front door open and nearly tripped over herself. But, was quickly caught by a pair of strong and muscular hands. "Whoa there! What did Bonnie do, spike your coffee?" Stefan said jokingly as he watched Elena push herself away from him.

"No. I tripped." She told him, embarrassment in her tone as she straightened out her cream colored jacket and then crossed her arms over her chest.

"Sure..oddly enough you "tripped" right into me." Stefan told her with a wink as he stepped closer and watched as Elena took a step back.

"Are you always an asshole or is this just when your around someone new?" She asked, irritation hitting every word that came out of her mouth.

Stefan laughed, throwing his head back for more of an emphasis as he glared at her. "You've got me all wrong."

"Oh do I? You almost caused an accident in the road and then you dented my damn car with your heavy ass fist! Oh and your...your..." Elena began to say but quickly realized she was out of words.

"Oh, I did that.. huh? It wasn't me sweetheart. You almost killed me with your American Idol wanna be audition in the car. What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" Stefan asked, raising his eyebrows at her as he watched her huff a breath out in frustration.

"You're not the only one whose become speechless in my presence. It's alright Elena, just admit it. I leave you breathless." He said with a smile as he heard her nearly growl at him.

"Wow that was hot!" Stefan remarked.

"Do you take anything in life seriously? Like I don't know, are you a civilized person or...were you-" Elena began to argue as Stefan tilted his head to the side, a smile creeping upon his lips.

"Was I...raised by wolves? Wow. If I was..Do you really think that I would have turned out this hot?" He said with another loud laugh as he turned his back away from a pissed off Elena. "See you around roomie!" He shouted over his shoulder as he walked away from her slowly.

"Wait! What about the dent on the roof of my car!" Elena shouted at him in frustration.

She watched as Stefan pivoted on his heels with a smile. "Come on, Princess. No one can see that. Get over it!" He said as he walked away from her, placing his hands in his pockets and whistling as he went.

"Ugh...This is going to be wonderful! The hot roommate from hell!" Elena grumbled as she walked over to her car and pulled her duffle bag from the back seat. She exhaled deeply as she watched from a distance. Stefan was talking to a much taller guy and then a petite and dark haired girl ran up behind him, slinging her long legs up and trying to get a piggy back ride from the taller guy as they all laughed at each other.

"Great, He has a possey!" She said out loud as she shut the door to her car and heard her name being shouted from behind her. Elena turned on her heels as her eyes lit up with excitement and pure happiness when she saw who was calling her name in a frantic tone.

"Jeremy!" She shrieked.
