"He kissed you?" Caroline said to Elena the next day. It was a Saturday and Elena and Caroline decided that they wanted to go out for breakfast. They ended up at The Grill, like usual.
Elena couldn't help the smile, or the blush, that spread across her face. She felt the effect of the kiss long after the date was over. She felt it up until she fell to sleep. Her lips were tingly. It was like there was some sort of electric shock. And she liked it. A lot.
"Judging by the color on your face and the smile I think it's safe to say that you liked it." Caroline said after she took a sip of her coffee and set the mug back down on the table.
"Yeah, Care, I did." Elena said, finally deciding to speak up.
"This is so cute! Two of my best friend's dating!" She said squealing like she was in high school again.
"We're not dating, Caroline. We went out once." Elena didn't know what that considered them. Yes, they only went out once but she would definitely have been up for a second date, a third date, and so on. They had really hit it off.
"Not yet." Caroline said. "But you will be." She said knowingly. "I know these things, 'Lena. You guys have something. Just wait and see."

When Stefan arrived at Bonnie's house to pick up Arianna, Bonnie immediately started asking him twenty questions about his date the night before.
"You bought her flowers?" Bonnie asked with a huge grin on her face. Stefan smiled and nodded his head.
"The whole night was amazing, Bon. It was a typical dinner and a movie date but it was …. I don't even know. I had fun with her. We really hit it off."
"What did you do after the movie?" Bonnie asked with another huge grin plastered on her face. She was happy for Stefan because after all that time, he was finally letting himself move forward with his life and that's exactly what he needed to do. She was just glad that he finally realized it and decided to get out there.
"We went out for hot chocolate and then we walked around town for a little bit. I didn't want the date to end after the movie." He looked over at Bonnie who still had that huge grin plastered on her face. "And then when I brought her home I walked her to her door."
Bonnie's face fell in disappointment. "You didn't give her a goodnight kiss?" Stefan couldn't hide the grin that formed on his face. He couldn't lie to one of his best friend's. As soon as she seen the grin on his face, her smile reappeared.
"I felt something when I kissed her. Something that I haven't felt since Rebekah. I don't know if it's because I haven't been out with anyone or because I know that I can feel something for her. But I liked it, Bonnie." Bonnie wrapped her arms around Stefan's neck and pulled him in for a hug.
"I'm so happy, Stefan!" She yelled in his ear. "You deserve this. You both do." Arianna came into the room all ready to go. Stefan gave his thanks to Bonnie for keeping her overnight and they said their farewells to her and Damon before they left out the door.

It's Monday morning and Elena was feeling kind of nervous. She hasn't seen Stefan since their date. She was nervous that things were going to become awkward after their kiss but she hoped that they wouldn't be.
Both Caroline and Bonnie were going to be late to the day care, leaving her to open and set things up. After she threw her jacket on, she grabbed her car keys and headed out the door. Along the way to the day care, she decided to stop for a cup of coffee.
After she got her coffee and she was on her way to the day care, she couldn't help her thoughts to traveling to her date with Stefan. She had fun, and that's something that she hasn't had for a very long time. They had hit it off and when conversation stopped, the silence between them wasn't awkward at all. It was actually a comfortable silence, both of them just enjoying being around each other and enjoying each other's company.
Plain and simple, she enjoyed being around him. She didn't want her date to end so she was actually glad that he had brought up the idea of getting a hot chocolate and just walking around. The dates that she went on in Los Angeles didn't compare to the date that she had with Stefan. Plus she didn't feel the vibe with anyone from LA like she did with Stefan.

Arianna was the first child to arrive at the day care. She was more than happy to go off and play in a random spot so that her dad could talk to Elena. When they were around each other, they could both feel the electricity that was vibrating between them. They were content with just staring in each other's eyes for a few moments, completely getting lost in them.
"So, Elena," He started to say before Arianna came out of the area that she was playing in.
"I have to use the baffroom." She said.
"Bathroom." Stefan said correcting her. "You know where it is, princess." She went in the direction of the bathroom and disappeared behind the door. Elena and Stefan were facing each other again. "I want to tell you again that I had fun the other night. I haven't been out in a while but I'm glad that I went out with you." Elena couldn't help the smile that spread on her face.
Stefan reached his hand out and grabbed her hand. Her hand was extremely small in his. But him holding it, it felt nice. Arianna came out of the bathroom and stopped when she reached Stefan and Elena, noticing their hands.
"Do you guys like each other like Auntie Bonnie and Uncle Damon like each other?" Elena recalled Arianna asking her this question before. She definitely had an answer to Arianna's question but didn't know if she wanted to say it out loud.
Stefan looked at his daughter quickly before looking back up at Elena right in her brown eyes. "Yes. I do." Elena felt the blush that was rising on her cheeks. The way he was staring at her, into her eyes, she decided to come clean and tell him her feelings.
"Yes." She gave him a quick smile before quickly averting her gaze, afraid that by looking him in the eyes, it would make her blush again.
Stefan started to feel something for Elena quickly, and that kind of scared him. It could have to do with the fact that he hasn't had a date since before Rebekah died, or it could have been that she adored Arianna, and he absolutely loved that. Anyone that could attach themselves to a child that isn't theirs has to be special.
Seeming satisfied with the answer that she received, Arianna went back into the House area that she was in before she came out saying that she needed the bathroom. Still holding her hand, he started rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand, sending tingles and goose bumps up her entire arm. Again, she felt the blush start to rise in her cheeks.
"There's a play in Richmond on Friday. Do you want to go?" Stefan asked, still rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand.
"I'd love to." Elena said with a smile on her face.
"Great." He said, smiling. "I have to go before I'm late." Not even thinking twice about his decision on if he should or shouldn't, he bent his head down and he kissed her. Much like their first one, it had the same effect. Elena smiled as she pulled away to end it.
"Arianna," Stefan bellowed throughout the day care. "I have to leave." He regretted spending the last couple of minutes he had with Elena instead of Arianna but he knew that Ari would understand. She came out from the House area and went up to him to give him a hug. Elena smiled as he bent down to pick her up. He placed a kiss on her temple before setting her down again. "Behave Ari. I love you. I'll be back later."
"Bye daddy." He smiled at the both of them before turning around and walking out the door. Elena couldn't help but smile.

"You guys are totally dating." Caroline said while they were cleaning everything up.
"I don't know what we are doing, Caroline." Elena said while wiping down one of the tables. She decided to tell Bonnie and Caroline when they came in. She wouldn't have been able to hide it from them anyways. She had smile plastered on her face since the moment that he had said that he liked her. It was like they were in high school all over again.
"Trust me, 'Lena. Soon enough you guys will be official." Bonnie said from behind Caroline. She checked her watch and sighed. "Can you guys finish up? I have to leave." Bonnie said.
"Yeah, go ahead." Caroline said. Bonnie waved goodbye, grabbed her things and walked out the door.
