Elena woke up to kisses on her cheek. She opened one eye to see Stefan right there kissing her face. "What?" She asked cranky.
"Let's go up if you want to get ready to go out tonight," He said kissing her head. Elena nodded slowly and took Stefan's hand that was out to help her up. She looked around noticing no one was there anymore.
"Where did everyone go?" She asked.
Stefan folded his chair to bring back and then folded Elena's. "They went back. I let you sleep," He told her.
She smiled at him. "Thank you," She said kissing his cheek. They walked to their room after Stefan returned the chairs for the day and Elena quickly moved to the bathroom.
Stefan's arm blocked the door before she could shut it. "You showered first yesterday," He told her. "You said I could shower first today," He complained.
Elena rolled her eyes. "Fine," She said moving out of the bathroom.
"Unless," He said getting her attention. "You want to shower together this time," He said slowly.
Elena blushed lightly. "It would be our first shower together," She said putting her arms around his neck. Stefan nodded.
"If you're not comfortable yet, it's fine. I was just suggesting. Probably something stupid." He quickly said when he saw the uneasy look on Elena's face.
She stayed quiet for a moment before answering. "Actually," She started. "I'm ready." She nodded. He looked at her surprised. She smiled and pushed him into the bathroom with her hands already on the waistline of his swim trunks.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After an hour and a half, they were finally done. Half of the shower was touching and washing and the other half was just plain sex. Now Elena had an hour to get ready before they had to get going. She didn't like that but she made it work.
Stefan walked out of the bathroom from fixing his hair and found Elena trying to unclasp a necklace so she could put it on. She was dressed and ready for the night in her jean shorts and crop top. He noticed her legs right away and how perfectly long and smooth they were. "Stop staring and come help me put this necklace on," She said breaking him out of his stare.
He walked over to her and stood behind her and moved her hair out of the way. He clasped the necklace easily and ran his hands down her smooth arms while kissing her neck softly. She smiled at she felt his lips on her soft skin. "I love you," He whispered.
She smiled again. "I love you too." She said. She turned around to face him and kissed him properly. "Let's go," She said patting his cheek. Her hand went down his arm to finally reach his hand and start walking out of their room.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
They got in the car where everyone was waiting to go to the club. Elena and Stefan got in quickly and the driver took off. "Well, hello." Tyler said with his arm around Caroline in the middle back seat. Matt, Katherine and Damon were in the back where there were three seats and Stefan, Elena, Caroline, and Tyler squished into the middle four seats.
"Hey," Elena said slipping in next to Caroline. "I already want a drink," Elena complained.
"Well, you will get your sex on the beach soon enough." Tyler said. "In more than one way," He mumbled. Elena reached over and smacked Tyler in the arm. "Sorry," He said.
Elena rolled her eyes and settled back next to Stefan. "Oh look, we're here," Caroline said breaking the silence that formed between them. Stefan opened the door and got out and held his hand out for Elena. He helped Caroline out too and stopped when Tyler came into view.
"Wow, you make one comment and you get treated like trash." He shook his head getting out of the car. Elena hung onto Stefan's arm as they waited for the rest of them to get out of the car.
"It was tight in there," Matt sighed stretching. "I think my hand found it's way to Katherine's…" He trailed off on his joke when Damon glared at him warningly. He quickly moved behind Stefan in a joking manner. "Help! Your brother is going to kill me because he doesn't have a sense of humor!" He joked. "It's not my fault you can't laugh!" He said with fake fear. Stefan laughed at his friend and moved away leaving Matt standing there by himself. He straightened up and looked at Damon. "Sorry," He said with a shrug and started walking into the club.
Damon's lips curled lightly into a smile barely showing. He ignored it and moved inside with Katherine as well. It was loud once they got in there and Caroline dragged Elena and Katherine to the dance floor where so many people crowded already. Stefan watched Elena start dancing with her two best friends and wanted so badly to go over there and feel her hips move against his but he let her be with her friends right now.
"You want to get a drink?" Tyler asked coming from behind him. Stefan nodded and moved to the bar with Tyler. When they were waiting they felt someone come in between them. They looked over and saw Elena standing there. "I thought you were dancing," Tyler said.
She nodded. "I was. I snuck out. I really meant it when I said I was ready for a drink," She told them. "Can I get a cranberry vodka?" She asked the bartender who nodded and winked at her. Stefan got possessive then and put his arm around his waist holding her against him. "Stefan," She warned. She didn't like when Stefan got jealous because there was no reason to. She loved him, and wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
"I know, I know." He said kissing the side of her head as the bartender slid her drink towards her. Elena took it happily and took the straw out of the small glass and gulped down the drink. "Whoa. Slow down," Stefan said taking the glass out of her hand.
Elena smiled and ordered another one. "We are going to have fun tonight," She promised while doing the same thing with her second glass. She gulped it down and put it on the bar again, ready for another one. "Wait, can you get a bigger glass, these are small," She asked the bartender. He nodded with a smirk and went to go make her drink.
"I think someone is taking a liking to your girlfriend, man." Tyler joked over to Stefan. Stefan glared at him because he was fully aware of the bartender. Elena shook her head and kissed Stefan's neck as her arms went around his neck.
Caroline came up to them next and ordered herself a drink before turning to Tyler. "Let's dance, Ty." She smiled widely. Tyler started shaking his head but Caroline pleaded.
"We'll go too," Elena said. Caroline looked over at them. "Come on, Stef, let's go dance," She smirked. Stefan rolled his eyes but let Elena take his hand and lead him to the center of the dance floor where Katherine was. It was tight and Elena was pushed against Stefan's hard chest, not being able to turn around to see his face. So, she just started dancing. Stefan held onto her waist while feeling her hips move against his like he wanted. After a while of dancing, Elena wanted to go sit and Stefan went with her. They found a couch that they could just sit on and relax for a second. Elena was a bit tipsy from sipping her vodka and having two before.
She was practically on top of Stefan as they were sitting. Her arms were both hooked through his one arm and her leg was very close to going over his leg. "Elena?" She heard as she was laughing in Stefan's neck. She looked up to see Rebekah again and she jumped up excited.
"You came!" She exclaimed. Rebekah nodded as Elena hugged her tightly. "I'm happy you did," She said. Just then Matt came over to them. "Matt, look it's Rebekah!" She yelled to him over the music. She would have yelled anyway because she was so excited and tipsy.
Matt looked at Rebekah and smiled. "Hey," He said. She smiled back. "You want a drink?" He asked. Rebekah nodded quickly and they went off to the bar.
Elena turned back to Stefan. "I feel like a matchmaker." She told him excitedly while she sat down next to him again. Stefan chuckled at her words. Elena moved his head so he was looking at her and smiled before kissing him. That kiss turned into a make out session real quick. Elena's hand was on his cheek and if you saw them it looked like she was blocking their kiss from anyone who was looking at them.
Elena loved this. A night out with friends where she gets to kiss and dance with her hot boyfriend and not worry about work or anything like that.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The night was over and by then Elena was hammered. She had a few more drinks after her third vodka and it just happened. She was leaning on Stefan as they all walked out of the club. Katherine wasn't so sober either. "Elena! Let's dance!" Katherine yelled even though Elena was right next to her. Elena giggled and took Katherine's hands and then they started dancing while waiting for their car to come.
Elena smiled widely as she looked back at the rest of them. "I don't think the night is over yet!" She exclaimed and her and Katherine started back inside. Only to be caught by Stefan and Damon by one arm each and bring them back.
"No," Damon said. He held up a water in front of Katherine and passed one to Stefan. "Drink this. The last thing you want on vacation is a hangover." He said to Katherine but directing it to Elena too.
Elena chugged the whole thing down and then smiled at Stefan. "I have to pee now. Let's go back inside," She said trying to sneak her way back in the club but again, Stefan stopped her.
"Nope," He said. "You are just going to have to hold it." He said breaking the news.
Elena rolled her eyes. "Fine. I didn't really have to pee anyway," She muttered. The driver finally came and they all crammed into the car again.
"Wait, where's Matt?" Caroline asked.
"Oh, he's probably with Rebekah," Elena chimed in before settling her head on Stefan's shoulder. "I set them up," She said in a singsong voice.
"Good for him," Tyler said. Everyone agreed with him too. The driver drove off to go back to the hotel and everyone stayed quiet. Elena and Stefan were just sitting in silence with Elena resting on his shoulder finally calmed down. Katherine was half asleep on the window and Caroline and Tyler were sitting quietly in the back.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Last night, Stefan ended up carrying Elena up to their room because she just couldn't walk anymore. She was practically asleep. This morning Elena surprisingly woke up before him. She decided to go get food for them and was going to be nice. She snuck out of the room and went down to the breakfast place. Elena quickly snuck back in with a bag of food and saw Stefan still sleeping. She placed the food on the table and crawled back into the bed with Stefan. She cuddled into his side and felt him stir. "Good morning," She whispered.
He smiled a little as he felt her kisses on his cheek. "Morning," He said rubbing his forehead. "How am I more hung-over than you?" He asked.
Elena giggled. "I don't know. But I have something that could make you feel better," She told him getting out of the bed to go get the food. "Bacon egg and cheese sandwich," She told him bringing the bag over to him. "Which I know you love," Stefan was now sitting up and leaning against the headboard.
"Thank you," He said moving the bag away and kissing Elena and bringing her down to lay on the bed. "But I love you more," He whispered into her neck.
"I'm happy to hear that, but I'm hungry," She said pushing him off and getting her own breakfast. She only got bacon and egg on a bagel because she didn't like the cheese with it. "Come on, I know you're hungry." She said coming back to the bed to eat with him.
He turned his body while draping his arm over her stomach. "I am. But for you." He said kissing her neck. She shook her head and pushed him off again.
"Just eat," She said pushing the food towards him. He nodded and attacked Elena's neck with kisses. "Your food," She said and tried to push him off again. She was a little weak because of the way he was kissing her. Right in her weak spot. She closed her eyes as his hands slipped underneath her shirt.
"You still want to eat?" He asked. Elena shook her head no. He smiled and kissed her lips and moved to take off her shirt. "We'll meet the rest of them later,"
She nodded and pulled his shirt off roughly.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Elena and Stefan were done with the fun and the eating, they met the rest of them in the lobby. Today they were doing to Canopy Line Adventures. They were zip lining in the forest. There was a whole activity of it with instructors and everything.
The girls had on LuLu Lemon running shorts and a tank top with an opening on the back that made a design. Different for each of them but surprisingly all the same brand. The guys had on basketball shorts and Adidas or Nike shirts. They all had on sneakers too. They rented a car so they didn't have to call a taxi all the time. After a lot of thinking, they let Elena drive. She was a good driver but had bad sense of direction. They still let her anyway. Caroline sat up front with her and Tyler and Stefan got the two middle seats and Matt, Damon and Katherine got the three seats in the back.
"Okay. Where are we going?" Elena said with both hands on the wheel. She looked in the rearview mirror to see if anyone wanted to answer.
Tyler sighed. "Go straight when you get out of the parking lot." He told her. He was going to give the directions slowly so Elena could follow them. Elena went straight and Tyler kept telling her more directions.
Caroline got bored real fast. "Let's put music on." She said. She turned on the car radio. It was the same kind of car she had at home so she knew how to use it. Somewhere in Your Car by Keith Urban came on as Caroline put the country station on. She loved this song and everyone knew it. Elena really liked it too, so they sang.
"Driving home tonight, catching all red lights, that's alright cause I, don't wanna be alone. There's nobody waiting there, cold and empty bed, words I wished I said, come on the radio. And I don't know why I do this to myself." They started. They almost screamed the last part out. "I know you're with someone else! But in my mind, we're somewhere in my car and it's raining hard, on the streetlight glow, you got your lips on mine, it's gasoline on fire, I never will forget, you grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head. Fingertips sliding up and down my back, breathing hard steaming up the glass, give anything if I could bring you back. Oh, oh oh, oh." There was more but they fell out in a fit of laughter.
Elena lowered the music and looked in the mirror back to Tyler. "Turn left here." He said. She did so and they saw where they were supposed to be. They each got out of the car and Matt stretched and yawned. He had just got back to his room ten minutes before they met up in the lobby. His night with Rebekah lasted longer than he thought. But, he didn't mind.
As they looked around, they saw very few people. They were all mostly the same age as all of them or maybe older. There were a few kids but they had a separate place to go. An instructor walked over to them all smiling and bubbly. "Hi. Welcome to Line Adventures. Do you want to get started up to the zip lines?" She asked. They all nodded. "Great. Follow me." She said. "It is a bit of a hike up, but it's worth it when you get up there." She promised.
As they were walking, Stefan was behind Elena. They had to step up on things a lot and he watched her legs. You could see her prefect calf muscle flex when she stepped up. He stopped for a second and just admired her legs. Tyler came up behind him and tapped his shoulder. "You okay, man?" He asked with a light laugh.
Stefan turned his head to face him. "Yeah. I'm good." He said. He smiled as he started walking again. He came up behind Elena and wrapped one arm around her waist. "Do you know how distracting you are?" He asked into her ear.
Elena laughed softly. "Nope. How distracting am I?" She asked, stopping in front of him.
Stefan smirked and moved his hands to her waist. His lips were near her ear so he could whisper to her. "So distracting, that all I can think about is what's under those pants." He said looping his finger around her underwear line beneath her shorts.
Elena bit her lip holding back a smile. She moved her lips up to reach his ear to whisper. "Well," She paused. "You are just going to have to keep thinking about because you're not seeing it anytime soon." She whispers and started catching up with the group. Stefan stood their smiling and soon made his way to the group too. They reached the top and they were at the zip-line. It wasn't too steep but it went down.
Matt was going first. They geared him up and he got ready. He turned back to them smiling. "Ready?" The instructor asked . Matt nodded and then started sliding down the zip-line. You could hear his excited 'woo-hoo' going down. Damon and Katherine went next. Katherine was terrified to go on. Damon almost had to go with her before Elena said to suck it up and have fun on it.
Then it was just Tyler, Caroline, Stefan and Elena. "I want to go." Elena said excitedly moving to the instructor to get geared up. It was very tight and especially tight underneath where it shouldn't be that tight. "Okay," She whispered to her self while squirming her legs. "Bye," She waved to them and jumped and started sliding down the zip-line. You heard her scream and laughter as she ascended down the line.
Stefan, Tyler and Caroline were left. "Okay, I'll go." Caroline said and stepped towards the instructor with the harness ready. She got geared up and set up so she could go on. "Shit, I'm scared." She laughed.
Tyler smiled and walked closer to her. "You want to go on?" He asked. She nodded. "Then, I'll give you the words of Elena Gilbert. Suck it up and have fun." He winked and walked over to stand next to Stefan again.
As they were standing there and Caroline got ready to go down, Stefan started talking. "Are you excited for the wedding?" He asked.
Tyler smiled. "And officially get to be with her the rest of my life? Hell yeah." He answered Stefan.
He nodded. "Good." He said. It was time for Stefan's turn so he came up to it and then Tyler and then they were all at the bottom together. "What else?" Stefan asked the group as Tyler got out of his harness and helmet.
Matt looked at the map and looked over it to see what else there was to do. "We could go rock climbing." He said.
Damon smirked. "If it means I get to see this ass then I'm down." He said and playfully tapped Katherine's butt. Everyone shuttered at them, but agreed to go rock climbing.
They were walking over to the rock climb talking and laughing. They realized how nice it was to be as one group again.
