Chapter 6

Once the bell for lunch rang, I was the first out of class. I had to find him. All through class, all I could think about was our kiss. The way it felt when his lips touched mine, the electricity that bolted through my veins. I didn't know a kiss could feel so good, it was only a simple kiss, but it meant and felt like a lot. I raced through the corridors searching for him. I asked around if anyone had seen him but no one had. I was worried and confused. I looked everywhere I could think of, I start heading towards the back of the school. This is the only place I haven't looked, and luckily I noticed him sitting by a tall tree near the car park. I walk over to him, determined to discuss what happened before class. But not just that, about everything, everything that has been going on, when he kissed me, called me beautiful, about what Lexi said, all of it.

He must have noticed me because he stood up and turned to face me as I approached him. I stood right in front of him. He bows his head down slightly like he is afraid of me or what I think. I huff and frown slightly. "Stefan…" I start of, and then he whispers "I'm sorry"

Why was he sorry, he shouldn't be? I don't understand. "Well I'm not" I say confidently, I'm not usually this confident, but I feel this needs to be said. I need to say it, maybe he doesn't know how I feel, and I mean we haven't really discussed anything. He needs to know how I feel.

I walk closer to him and he lifts up his head. He stares at me in awe. He clears his throat. "We need to talk" I say and he nods in agreement. We both sit down by the tree.

After a moment of staring at each other I begin.

"Stefan you shouldn't be sorry about kissing me. It surprised me but I liked it." He smiles slightly, I take a deep breathe, here I go.
"Stefan. For a while now I've been having feelings for you. That I never really felt before. And I think you do too which is why we need to discuss them, discuss us"

"I agree we do need to discuss it. Because I have been feeling strongly for you lately and I want test them out- I mean I would like to see where it would go with you and me."

"Yeah…" I start not sure what else to say at the time.

"We have known each other for a while now Elena. And after my mother died we became closer and I liked that. I liked you being around; I think I always have but I'm only just realizing it now. I- I really like you." He smiles adoringly at me, and I smile back. "And I really like kissing you" he says with a slight blush on his cheeks.

I feel my cheeks burning up to. What he just said was perfect. How is it that every word he says is perfect and has meaning? The truth is I liked being around him too, and I think I am only realizing it now. I also really like kissing him too.

"I feel the same way, it's like you read my mind. I like you Stefan, a lot." I say smiling brightly. He smiles brightly back showing most of his teeth.

"Elena, will you go out with me?"

"You look lovely honey" my mum chimes as she zips up the back of my dress.

Tonight is the night I go out with Stefan. He asked me out two days ago on Monday and its Wednesday night. The past two days haven't been too awkward; we spoke often and flirted a bit. It was nice finally talking about us, I sort of felt relieved.

Tonight he was going to pick me up at 7pm and we were going to the grill for a simple date, as we both felt comfortable there anyway.

"Thanks mum" I say and once she finishes I turn around and smile at her. I wore a soft sky blue dress; my hair was just down with a decorative headband. I wore diamond earrings and white wedges. I had light makeup on but just enough to make me look fancy.

I was beaming with excitement. I feel like I have been waiting forever, I am also nervous and I want to get rid of these first date jitters.

"Elena. Door" Jeremy yells from down stairs and my mum squeals and we both go down stairs.

I walk to the door and my mum goes to the kitchen giving me some privacy. I take a deep breath and open the door to see a nervous smiling Stefan in a nice long sleeved white top and dark grey jean. I almost gasped at how amazing he looked. He is holding a rose in his hand and I swear the blush on my cheeks almost matches the colour of the rose.

"You look beautiful Elena" he says, I have been called beautiful many times, but when Stefan says it I really believe it. He hands me the rose and I take it "Thank you" I say.

My mum takes it from me, I didn't even realise she was there, how embarrassing. She tells us to have a good night and takes the rose to the kitchen with her.

We leave the door way and head to his car, his car is amazing it's a black Porsche. He notices me staring and smiles proudly.

We arrive at the grill and talk and wait for our order. We both just ordered a basic burger and fries. Long after we had finished dinner we were still talking, we talked about everything just about. Everything he said was music to my ears. I loved hearing him talk. Nothing about tonight was awkward we just talked and talked, I enjoyed talking with him, I felt so comfortable talking with him and I could tell he did to.

It was good that we had a bit of history, we had known each other for years but just not that well. I'm glad we have become closer. We talked about our embarrassing moments and about Lexi and I even mentioned what Lexi told me and he blushed, it was so cute when he blushed.

"It's true he just wet his pants" he laughed. We were talking about embarrassing moments and somehow got onto Damon.

"He was only young so don't tell him I told you" we were both laughing now. Damon apparently wet his pants because Stefan scared him. It's funny to think that the Damon I know now would have done that. We continued laughing then he spoke again but in a more serious tone "I love your laugh" he smiled and I blushed for what felt like the one hundredth time tonight.

"It's weird" I say, we have both stopped laughing now- but he just shakes his head "It's adorable" we stare at each other contently, he then looks nervous and counts down from three in a whisper before kissing me. The table wasn't that wide so he could easily kiss me. I kissed him back. This is probably the first kiss we both initiated. It lasted longer than the other kisses; it was slow, soft and passionate. Soon he breaks away smiling at me and I smile back.

"Why do you count down from three?" I ask, he probably wouldn't answer. He blushes.

"Well, it's enough time for me to think about it without pulling away, you know" he fiddles with his hands, I nod in understanding.

"It's weird" he says, "Its adorable" I say repeating what he said earlier. We both blush and giggle slightly.

"You don't have to count you know" I say and he looks at me waiting for me to continue. "You can kiss me whenever you want" I blush and then bite my lower lip.

"Yeah?" he asks smiling almost in relief, and I nod.

I then do something that he probably wasn't expecting but I couldn't wait any longer I missed his lips on mine, so I kissed him and he kissed me back. Screw needing him too much, I just wanted to taste his lips and feel them connect with mine. All of my doubts were erased, I don't know why we waited this long.

We stand on my porch, not long after the kiss we decided to leave as it was getting late. He held my hand- at first hesitant but I squeezed back- all the way to my door. We stare at each other smiling.

"I had a great time" I say and he smiles "Me too" he says. I can see his eyes' wondering like there is something on his mind.

"What's on your mind?" I ask and he blushes at me noticing this. He scratches the back of his neck

"Well, I have two questions…" he says I nod for him to continue "Okay uh um- will you be my girlfriend?" he asks looking into my eyes. I freeze I feel like screaming from excitement but I contain myself.

"I would love to be your girlfriend" I say, we both smile and he squeezes my hand and I squeeze back.

"I Uh um- I was uh wondering if I could make out with you" I blush; he was so sweet I could feel my heart explode.

"I just don't want you to think I'm pressuring you, that is why I'm asking" he looks down embarrassed and I giggle.

"Well that's what girlfriend and boyfriend do, right?" I ask teasingly, he looks up and smiles and nods. "I might be bad at it" I say nervously all the jitters were coming back. He leans in and whispers "That's not possible" and he kisses me passionately we kiss for a while until I feel him bite softly on my bottom lip asking for his tongue to gain access and I open my mouth and let out tongues collide. We both moan into each other's mouths. I wrap my arms around his neck and he has one hand on the back of my head and his other hand on my hip. This continues for a while.

Suddenly I feel at home.

I told Caroline and bonnie the next day about everything I was just so excited I couldn't contain myself. They were thrilled for me.

Its last period of school and me and Stefan had English together. I can see in the corner of my eye Stefan sneaking glances at me, he smiles and laughs slightly. I blush and continue listening to the teacher. He keeps rubbing his hands together and scratching the back of his neck, like something is on his mind.

The bell finally rings and he stays and watches as I leave the classroom- pretending to talk to his friends.

I walk to my locker to put my books away and I get my bag. As I close my locker I notice Stefan at his locker – about 11 lockers away from me – he is eyeing me up and down, and whispering something to Tyler beside him. Stefan bites his lip and blushes when he sees me looking at him.

Harry interrupts getting in the way of my view. Harry is in a couple of my classes and we have been getting closer lately. he was a nice guy. He leans his hand on the locker beside me "Hey, Elena did you get the notes for algebra?" he asks he must be talking about yesterday because he went home sick during the lesson.

I turn to see Stefan clenching his fist slightly and he swallows hard. I focus on Harry again "Uh, yeah, here" I say handing him my book. Harry smiles "Thanks, talk to you later" he says walking away but then Caroline goes to where Harry was as though waiting in line to talk to me.

"Hey, you ready?" she asks she was driving me home today, my car was getting cleaned. I grab my bag and nod, and then Stefan walks up beside Caroline.

"Hey" he says smiling with one hand in his pocket and one holding his bag. Just then Tyler wraps his arms around Caroline's waist kissing her neck "c'mon baby let's give them privacy" he winks at Stefan and then drags Caroline away as she is giggling. I see Caroline giving me a look that says she is no longer taking me home.

Maybe Stefan can.

"Hey" I say smiling

"So tonight I'm staying home, so Lexi doesn't need to get babysat" he says

My smile slowly fades "Oh" I say

"But I think you should still come over" he says making my smile return "I would love to" I say

We get in his car. He picks up Lexi from her primary school and she tells us all about her day- as he drives us to his place I text my mum letting her know and almost immediately she replies saying that it's fine. I smile at Stefan and he smiles back. My mind drifts of to what he did before, clenching his fist and swallowing hard, I wonder what was wrong?

We soon arrive at his house and I put that thought at the back of my head. As soon as we stop Lexi races out of the car excited to get inside. He opens my car door for me and leads me inside.

"Hey Lex, go and put some TV on and have a snack, me and Elena are going to my room for a while"

"Okay" she says and she empties her lunch box and cleans up before grabbing a bag of chips and jumping on the couch ready to watch TV, probably Disney.

"Tell us if you need anything" he says but she only nods she is mesmerised by the TV.

I giggle slightly. Stefan looks into my eyes and he grabs my hand and leads me up to his bedroom. I haven't been to his bedroom in years. We walk in and it hasn't changed much. We sit on his bed and across from the bed is a TV and it's a flat screen-lucky. We pile up some pillows to lean on, and I sit down awkwardly unsure of what to do.

He stands by the TV "Wanna watch a movie?" he suggest "Sure" I say nodding. He smiles and looks through the DVD's he has. To try and calm my nerves I lean back slightly, making myself more comfortable.

He stands up once he has put the DVD in and walks over to me and sits next to me. The ads start playing and we wait until it reaches the menu. I can see him in the corner of my eyes looking at me and I blush, I close my eyes, shake my head, and laugh. He lets out a sigh and looks back to the TV.

"You're so beautiful" he says. My eyes shoot open and I look at Stefan who is still looking at the TV.

"I'm beautiful?" I ask laughing nervously.

"Well yeah" he says back, he clicks a button and the movie begins to play. American Pie.

I lean back on the bed again and burry my face in my hands trying to hide my blush. I feel him shift his weight and I close my eyes tighter. Just then I feel his hands grab my wrists and pull them down. I open up my eyes; I'm face to face with him and he looks down at my lips. He is still holding my wrists when he starts to kiss me, he finally let's go and brings one hand up to the side of my face, on my jawline. He gently bites my lower lip and then presses his forehead against mine. He laughs and shakes his head in disbelief.

"What?" I ask

"I just really love kissing you" I can myself face getting red and my lips turning into a smile. "Me too" I grin.

"Come and cuddle with me?" he asks innocently, I smile wider and we both lay down slightly, I lie on his chest with one arm wrapped around him and before he wraps his arms around me, he pulls the blanket over our bodies. He starts rubbing my back softly, up and down.

"I saw you looking at me in class today" I say

"Yeah I couldn't stop staring at you, then the guys made fun of me"

I giggle a bit and he laughs were watching the first American pie and he was really interested in it. When he notice me staring up at him he looks down at me smiling "Your mine you know" he smiles.

Just then it clicks, he must have been slightly jealous when I was talking to Harry. That's probably why he was doing those things earlier. He was too cute.

"Mhhm I saw you at your locker, you looked jealous" I play with him. He stiffens slightly "You saw that?" he asks embarrassed, and I giggle and nod. Everyone kept trying to talk to me and he just wanted to ask me out again and he was nervous and jealous of me not giving him attention I guess.

"He is just some guy I know Stefan, don't worry" I squeeze his hand. He seems to relax slightly "I guess I thought he was hitting on you. I'm an idiot" he laughs, and I laugh too.I smirk up at him and peck his lips "Your my idiot" I say.

Sorry I'm late, school just started again. thanks for reading!Review? :)
