A/N: Hey Guys! So, here's CH.6! Enjoy & let me know what you think :)
CHAPTER SIX-The Thin Line Between Us
"Hey! Before you leave. I need to talk to Stefan, alone." Elena told them as she eyed Damon and Katherine in a suspicious manner, turning on her heels and hearing as Stefan followed behind into a large office room.
She watched as he followed her, close on her heels and then just when she began to speak. He shut the door behind her. "What's going on!" Elena shouted angrily as Stefan tilted his head and smiled. "I can explain." He began to say as he smiled at her.
"Cut the shit! What the hell is Katherine doing in our kitchen..like she fucking owns this house! They better not be spending the night here with us because if they do...oh god!" Elena began to ramble, running her hands through her hair as she leaned against the desk that was in the middle of the room and exhaled deeply.
Stefan let out a chuckle as he fought the urge to smile at her. He slowly and cautiously walked over to where she was standing, placing his hands gently on her shoulders as she looked up at him with confusion. "Seriously, you never said that Katherine of all people was going to be here...much less helping me open the bar? What is that all about?" Elena asked in a flustered tone.
Stefan gently stroked her checks as he smiled at her. "Katherine's here for your safety. She knows the business and if anything happens while you're running the club. She will be your back up. Katherine can be trusted, I promise." Stefan told her confidently as he heard Elena let out a laugh.
"She can be trusted! Oh, that is just great. That's the same thing that Elijah told me after Katherine came into The Vipers and nearly got us both killed because of her attitude. We were going out to buy drugs from a dealer and Katherine told them that she needed to test the product first. Well, she choked and they got pissed off at us. Accusing us and telling us that we were calling their products fakes and stuff. I saved our asses and told them that she was new at this. Look, Stefan. Katherine may be able to be trusted. But, I'm not going to enjoy this today or for the next seven months!" Elena declared in a stubborn tone.
Stefan nodded, leaning into her as he felt her rest her head against his chest." I know you didn't trust her then. But, you don't really have a choice now. Maybe she's changed. Plus, everyone deserves a second chance." Stefan told her in a soft tone as he kissed the top of her head, feeling her wrap her arms around him tightly.
"I'll do it for you. But, you owe me!" Elena said as she lifted her head up from his chest and locked her eyes on his forest greens, before she kissed his lips softly.
"Let's go, Stefan! Hurry up love birds, we can't keep this guy waiting or we're all dead!" Damon shouted as he knocked loudly on the door, which forced Stefan and Elena to break apart from each other with an annoyed glance towards it.
"Your brother is NOT staying here tonight!" Elena declared as she released her grip on Stefan. She watched as he turned towards her with a grin. "No worries, Babe. Your all mine tonight! I owe you...remember? See you soon." Stefan told her as he opened the door and left the room with a glance at Elena's smiling face.
"Are you sleeping with him?" Katherine asked suddenly as they watched the brothers leave the house. They were already half way to the car when Katherine's curiosity peaked and she gave Elena a wide eyed smile.
"That is none of your business." She retorted quickly as she walked back into the kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing a cold bottle of water as she sat on one of the bar stools.
"Oh, Please! You were sleeping with Elijah a year ago and I knew about it! So, it won't take long for you to be sexing it up with Stefan..I mean, he's hot. I'd do him." Katherine commented as she took a seat across from Elena and watched as she rolled her eyes at her.
"Who wouldn't you sleep with. I mean, you practically slept with everyone in The Vipers...way before Damon came along and 'tamed' you." Elena commented as she heard Katherine laugh.
"Good point! But, seriously...I'd be careful with Stefan. Elena, you don't want another girl going after him..before you even get the chance. I mean, you're supposed to be a hot and heavy couple with a very interesting relationship...am I right?" Katherine asked in a sarcastic tone as she placed her hands on the counter top and grinned at Elena.
"I'm not going to answer that. Instead, I would rather get to this deal of you and I working together at the Absinthe. I'm the owner, that's my cover. What's yours...a stripper? That cover wouldn't be far off...you used to be good at it." Elena told her. She smiled widely when she saw Katherine nearly snarl at her, she had hit a nerve and part of her loved it.
"I was not a stripper!" She argued in a low and annoyed tone, glaring at Elena.
"Look, now that we've got that out of the way. I know that you and I have a really shitty relationship and as much as we both hate each other. We need to stay alive in this. So, seriously..What's your cover?" Elena repeated, this time with a much calmer and friendlier tone.
"Since I have more experience than you. I'm going to be getting into it with the crowds, making sure that they're happy. I guess you can look at me like the hostess and the bartender. My job is to report back to Damon and Stefan and you as well." Katherine explained as she glanced over at Elena, sliding over a yellow folder that read 'Elena Fleming' on it.
"What the hell is this?" Elena asked her, tapping her fingers against the folder that was under her hand.
"It's your reading material. I've read it and I know what I need to do. So, what's going to happen is this. I'm going to walk into the club, searching for a job. You and I are acting like we don't know each other..You're going to hire me and that will be that. Understood?" Katherine said, getting up from the bar stool and straightening herself out.
"Yeah. Katherine..." Elena began to ask as Katherine rolled her eyes at her. "Don't worry Elena, I won't touch Stefan. I've got Damon for my needs. Oh and, we're not staying here tonight...Seeing you at this club nearly every day will be enough. Don't forget to turn your camera's on..this time." Katherine said as she turned her back towards Elena, walking slowly out of the kitchen with her cell phone in her hands.
"Where are you going? Aren't we supposed to be here together until they come back?" Elena asked confused as she heard Katherine laugh. "The meeting was close by. It was short, just a quick introductory meeting and Damon texted me." Katherine told her, holding up her phone in the air and wiggling it around.
"The meetings done and they're coming home. Elena, I'm sorry about screwing up things with the drug buy all those years ago. I was new. I know you hate me for it, for nearly getting us both killed. But, you can trust me on this. We're on the same side, always have been really." Katherine told her before leaving out of the kitchen and then Elena heard the front door slam shut.
An hour later had passed as Stefan came home and waved out of the front door, watching as Damon and Katherine made their way back to their cover apartment in Stockton. He closed the door behind him and locked it as he turned his attention to Elena.
"I'm sorry that I left you alone with her. I mean, I know that-" Stefan began to say as he watched Elena stare blankly at the T.V., covering up her body with a blanket as Stefan walked over to where she sat.
He sat across from her with a weakened smile on his face. "I'm glad you didn't kill each other...if that makes you feel any better." Stefan told her with a laugh, watching her uncross her arms from her chest and turn her head away from the T.V. and towards him. A small smile formed on her lips as she looked at him and then she sighed loudly as she slowly got up from the couch and made her way towards him.
"I can handle Katherine. But, she was right about one thing though..." Elena told him as she sat on Stefan's lap. His hands on her hips as her position mirrored the same one from their bathroom rendezvous in the airplane.
"What was she right about?" Stefan asked her curiously, tilting his head to the side as his eyes glistening with nothing but trouble and lust for the brunette who was straddling his lap.
Elena pushed her hair to the side as she smiled at Stefan, leaning into him and grinding her hips against his body as he groaned at her. "You...Are...Going..To...Kill..Me.." He stammered as she ran her fingers over the stubble on his chin, grinning at him widely and leaning into his neck.
"Oh, am I?" She asked playfully, leaving a quick kiss on his neck, her hands running across his exposed skin and to the buttons of his dress shirt. He watched carefully as she unbuttoned each one, slowly.
"Elena...Damn it!" Stefan warned, pushing her roughly against the carpet. They both flew off the couch and onto the floor within seconds. He heard her body land with a slight thud as she let out a loud laugh.
"What?" Elena asked innocently as she ran her long nails up and down his now half un buttoned shirt.
"Stop screwing around. Your teasing me...and I can't even deal with it." Stefan told her, holding her in place underneath him as she squirmed slightly.
"Oh really? A big bad undercover cop like you, can't handle an innocent young woman like me?" Elena said in a seductive tone as she trailed her hands down to Stefan's belt buckle.
"Elena, we can't" Stefan protested, grabbing her wrist from trying to unbutton his jeans. Stefan watched her pout as she pushed him up and against the cushions of the couch that was behind them. She sat on his lap, both of her legs still straddling his waistline as she leaned into him, whispering against his ear. "Of course we can, Stefan. We're undercover...we can do whatever we please." She told him, pushing him back against the couch as she leaned into him, running her hands through his hair as Stefan swallowed hard.
"Your right..we're undercover. We can do whatever, we want, we're a couple after all..with a history." He told her, pushing her back against the floor quickly as he heard Elena let out a huffed out breath,losing his train of thought while the look in her soft brown eyes clouded his judgement.
"I take it..you want to test that theory..once more?" She asked, in a raw and emotion filled voice as she finally unbuttoned the last button on his shirt, exposing his tanned bare chest, running her warm hands over his skin.
"You have no idea..How much I have wanted to test it." Stefan smiled wickedly as he held himself up by his elbows, pinning both of her hands above her head and leaning into her. Stefan watched her shutter at his touch as he caressed her checks softly, before kissing her with a hunger filled, open mouthed kiss as he heard a moan escape her soft lips. The tables were now turned, Elena was putty in his hands.
