I seriously have no idea where this chapter is heading but I still hope you enjoy reading it. (:
Chapter four.
There are different kinds of kisses in the world. Some are filled with lust, some are filled with passion, some are filled with purity, some are just... kisses. In my state of mind, kisses can be overwhelming. They can irresistible. I think they can blow you away, like a tornado. They can sweep you off the feet. A simple kiss can make you forget the surroundings around you, it can make you forget the whole world. You'll feel like there's just you, and him.
And this is happening to Stefan and Elena.
Elena felt Stefan's lips on hers. And Stefan felt Elena's lips on his. It was just them. They completely forget the world. They simply are living in a world where there's just Stefan and Elena. It was just a kiss. Just simple as that. All questions answered, all doubts, all fears has been removed from them. What she and he felt wasn't just merely a soft kiss. It was filled with passion, tenderness. A kiss that makes both of them shake inside of themselves. A kiss can be frightening as it is, but when Elena's with Stefan or when Stefan's with Elena, they couldn't be afraid of anything. The intensity between them, it's greater than anything else in the world.
They finally break through the kiss. The kiss lasted about two minutes. Elena locked her eyes with Stefan and he did the same. Nothing need to be said. The didn't need to say anything, their faces tells it all. Elena's eyes are sparking and she feel like she's on cloud nine. She have never felt something like this. Sure, she had kiss Matt before but not with this much of passion. This is something she have never felt before. She wondered if Stefan felt the same too...
Stefan could tell that Elena doesn't regret what she did, he could see it through her eyes. They are sparkling. Those eyes are the most beautiful eyes he have ever seen before. He could feel that he's alive and the hole inside of him has been fixed. He loved the kiss and he would like to kiss her one more time, if he had the chance. He wanted to kiss her all over again, like she hasn't been kissed before. He felt the whole world disappeared when Elena's lips met his. Her kiss sweep him off his feet. He could tell why.
They fixated their looks on each other. Neither of them wanted to break this beautiful moment. They wanted to relish in it forever.
Elena decided to be the one to break the silence. "That was, um, that was-"
"Amazing." Stefan finishes the sentence.
"Yeah, that was amazing." Elena looked right into his gorgeous green eyes.
"Um, we should probably go. It's getting late."
"Yeah I guess we should. Jenna would be so mad at me. Thanks for tonight Stefan."
"It's no problem. I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Let's go."
Stefan offered his arm, indicating Elena to put hers around it. They walked back to Stefan's car, they didn't talked much, Elena just put her arm around Stefan's, and that's it.
Stefan wanted to put his arm over Elena's shoulder but he was afraid of doing it. He uses his the other arm that was wrapped around Elena's arm to tight on tighter. He was afraid if he let go of her, she would vanish. Like this is all just a dream to him. They are now standing in front of Stefan's car. "We're here. I really had a great time today, Elena." he smiled at her.
"Yeah me too. Now you know some of secrets, I'd say you won't tell anyone about it?"
"Sure and I'm sure you'll do the same for me too?"
"Sure and thanks for the night Stefan." Elena feel a shiver going through her body and she shakes a little. Stefan noticed that she was shaking and he put his jacket on her bare shoulders. "Thank you!" she looked at him.
Stefan opened the car door for Elena. Along the car ride, Elena was contemplating the high, beautiful night sky. She sometimes catches Stefan staring at her, she likes the attention he's giving. She wouldn't bother complaining about it. This is going to be one of Elena's best nights, after her parents' death, she faked a lot of smiles but this night, she was genuinely happy. She didn't faked it. They finally finally arrived at Elena's house. Fortunately, the time is still before Elena's curfew.
"Thanks for the ride Stefan. It was very sweet of you." she gave Stefan a peck on his cheek. She wanted to taste his lips again.
"It's not really a problem. I brought you there so it's my responsibility to bring you back home safely."
"Goodnight Stefan. I'll see you tomorrow at school."
"Goodnight to you too Elena. And I'll see you tomorrow at school." Stefan went to give Elena a hug and a peck on her cheek. But it didn't end like that. After giving Elena a hug, he was ready to give a peck on her cheek. Elena deliberately turned her face so Stefan wouldn't kiss her cheek. And Stefan's lips landed on her lips. This is what she and him wanted. Both of them wanted to taste each other's lips again. Badly.
The kiss only lasted for about ten seconds and it ended. Stefan was the one who ended the kiss. "I, uh, I should probably go."
"Yeah sure." Elena opened her door. She waved at Stefan until his car was no longer in sight.
Elena looked around the house and saw Jenna sitting in the kitchen counter. She waked over to see what's she doing.
"Hey Jenna. What are you doing?"
"Oh hey Elena. Didn't knew you already came back."
"Yeah Stefan just dropped me off."
"Stefan, uh? Jenna winked at Elena.
"Jenna, he already has a girlfriend and it's Caroline." Elena told Jenna and the way she said it, there's a bit of sadness in it.
"Oh! I thought you two would really hit it off! And I could totally see you crushing on him Elena."
"Me crushing on him?" Elena joked. "Oh come on!"
"You're not a good liar, you know? They way you looked at him, already sold you out."
"Is it really that obvious?"
"Yes Elena. Your eyes." Jenna told Elena, as she reminisce about herself, falling in love with her first love.
"What about my eyes?" Elena asked queerly.
"Everyone can see the sparkle in your eyes when you looked at him. It's like they're glistening! It's like you only see him in your world, just only him, with no one else. Like your whole world revolves around his. You're in love with him"
Elena was curious about that. Is it true? Is she in love with Stefan? How can she tell? They way she looked at him is it true?
"So what should I do?"
"Honey, I'm not the one to decide that for you. You should go and figure it out by yourself."
"I'm not sure how to do that."
"Why don't you put this aside first. Anyway, you should probably head to bed. You still have school tomorrow."
Elena head upstairs and changed her clothes.
Stefan got back and went upstairs. He wanted to savor this night with Elena forever. He don't want to let go of this memory. He's getting ready for bed when he received a text from Elena.
Elena: Hey, are you still up?
Stefan: Yeah, why?
Elena: Sorry to bother you. But I just wanted to thank you again for tonight.
Stefan: You can stop thanking me now, Elena. (:
Elena: Okay I'll stop. And Stefan?
Stefan: Yeah?
Elena: Could we talk tomorrow at school?"
Stefan: Sure.
Elena: Okay. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight Stefan. (:
Stefan: Goodnight Elena.
Stefan wondered what Elena wants to talk about. But he probably knows what she's going to talk about. The kiss. He couldn't care less though. He loved the kiss he had with Elena and he would trade anything just to kiss her again.
Stefan and Caroline are in the biology classroom. They couldn't find a proper classroom to talk to so they chose the biology room. Caroline said she needed to talk to him. And maybe this will advantage him too. He wanted to talk to Caroline too.
"So Stefan, I have something to tell you." Caroline said as she looked down and twirl her fingers.
"I have something to talk to you about to, Caroline." she looked back up at him. "But you go first."
Caroline inhales and took a deep breath. "Okay. Lately I think you and I are getting distant. And maybe it's probably my fault. I don't know what came over me. I met this cute guy, he has the hottest British accent. His name is Klaus. We were at this party and you weren't there. I got really drunk and me and Klaus made out a few times. It was just kissing. Sex weren't involved in it. I don't know how to tell you this but I think I love him." After she finished her sentence, she immediately looked down on the door. She didn't dare to look at Stefan in the eyes. She was afraid of he might say to her. She feels really guilty of doing that and feeling something for him.
"It's okay Care. I'm not mad. You can look up at me. I'm not going to hit you or anything." Caroline exhales as soon as she heard what Stefan said. She released a breath that she didn't know she was holding. "But why?" Caroline couldn't help herself but ask. Because every guy would probably say nasty things to her if they knew about this but for Stefan. It's like he was relieved.
"It's that I'm keeping secrets from you too and I have no right to be mad at you of these circumstances."
"Like?"
"Like I knew Elena before you introduce her to me. And I think I'm falling for her. And we, kissed"
Caroline squealed and Stefan was dumbfounded. "I knew you feel something for her Stefan! And oh my god, you guys kissed!"
"I'm sorry Care."
"No it's fine Stefan, I knew it would happened. It's just a matter of time."
"But how?"
"Your eyes! They way you look at Elena. They way you smiled at her. They way you talked to her. It already sold you out."Stefan couldn't help but feel guilty. Caroline saw how guilty he feels and said. "You don't have to feel sorry for me Stefan. We both have our own choices and our hearts will fall for different people. We can't control it. I think you and Elena would make a very cute couple together."
"Thanks Care. I need to figure things out. I'm still not sure about the feelings I feel for her though."
"Stefan, I'm sure you can figure them out. Hey, after all, we can still be friends right?"
"Right." Caroline hugged him and said "Thank you Stefan. It's great to still have you as my best friend. You can call me if you need any advice or help. I'll do my best."
"Thanks Care. I really appreciate it."
After this little talk with Caroline, they still remained as best friends and they got even closer than before. Now it's is time to meet up with Elena.
Elena's in the gym waiting for Stefan to talk to him. They gym became their regular place to talk. It's like the gym is their secret hideout place. Elena need to find out if she's in love with Stefan or not. If yes, she'll be the third wheel of Stefan and Caroline. And she couldn't do that to her best friend. She needed to make things right.
Elena saw Stefan walking into the gym, he smiled at her. It was the smile that Caroline told him about. His smile is the most genuine smiles he has ever given to anyone else. "Hey sorry I was late. I was talking to Caroline."
Elena felt herself getting a little tense of the name mentioned, Caroline. What could they be talking about? "No it's okay. So what are you and Caroline talking about?" she needed to ask.
"Oh nothing. Just stuffs." Stefan knew Elena's prying on something. "So what do you need to talk about? The kiss I assumed."
"Yeah about that. Stefan, I think that was a mistake we both didn't intend on making it. What if Caroline finds out about it? How would she re-" Elena's rambling on, then she felt a finger across her mouth. It was Stefan's. "It's fine Elena. Caroline already knew about it." Elena was shocked as he mentioned that Caroline already knew about it. "But how?"
"Long story short, she asked if we could talk and we did. She told me about her and a guy named Klaus. And then I told her about you and me." Stefan told Elena briefly about what happened.
"How did she react?" This is what she concerned the most. Is Caroline going to be mad or what? "Is she mad?"
"As a matter of fact, she was happy that is happened."
"What?" Elena looked at him weirdly. "Why would she be happy about it?"
"I don't know. She said something about my eyes." Elena's eyes widened. "She said they way I love you, the way I talk to you, the way I smile at you. It was just, different." Stefan walked closer to Elena and stroke her hair.
Elena paused for a moment before she speak. "Jenna mentioned something about my eyes after you dropped me off last night."
"What about it?"
"She said the way I looked at you, it's like the whole word doesn't exist. It's like in my world there's just you in it. No one else. It's like my world revolves around you. And that I'm"
"You're what Elena?" Stefan anticipated her answer to be she's in love with him.
"That I'm in love with you." After that, she looked at his beautiful green eyes. They turned green-blue-ish under the light.
"Oh." Is all Stefan could answer. "Well do you?"
"I don't know Stefan. I don't know how to fig-" Before she could finishes it, she was cut off by his soft lips against hers.
Stefan kissed her softly but with all his strength in it. He wanted to taste those lips so badly. He longed for kissing her after last night. He wanted to kiss her until his lungs runs out of air. He wanted to kiss her for all eternity. Elena didn't pulled away from the kiss. She kissed him back and she relish in the kiss. Electricity runs through their bodies and they could feel it.
Eventually, they parted away from the kiss. "Do you feel it? The electricity between us." Stefan asked.
"Yeah I can. It was special."
"Have you figured it out yet? Because I have."
"You have what Stefan?"
"I figured that I am in love with you Elena. The three kisses we shared. The electricity between us, I could all feel it inside of my body. Whenever I'm around you, it's there."
Elena didn't know what to say but she could feel it too. It's running inside of her body. She waited for a second and said "I'm in love with you too Stefan."
Stefan lights up when she heard Elena say it back to him. It was such a relief to him. Through it all, this whole thing wasn't one-sided at all. They both can feel it. Somewhere in the middle of it, Elena realized that she was going to be all right. She was herself again, not lost, not a stranger, but Elena Gilbert. She have found her old self again, being with Stefan, she is.
"So what now?" Elena ask and Stefan stroke her back gently.
"Now, I'm going to tell you that you and I are going on our first date."
"Aw, Stefan. You don't have to."
"I have to Elena. I wanted this, this to be special." Stefan kissed her forehead.
