A/N: Wow. It's been a year since the last update?! I'm so sorry guys, I've hardly found the right time to write since my college life stole everything from me D: but I hope you guys are still willing to read this chapter and let me know what you think because you all inspire me. Thank you so much! :)

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at 7, okay?" I asked Elena, walking beside her towards her house. She stopped walking so I did too then turned her body to face me.

She smiled before nodded. "I'm really glad you found me, Stefan."

"Why wouldn't I find you?" I asked, cupping her face with my both hands. "I'd find you wherever you go, Elena. No matter what it takes." I said to her, smiling widely.

She held my hand then laughed a little. "You're a cheesy liar."

I sighed, releasing my hands from her cheeks and letting them fell. I kept staring at her disappointedly but then she laughed even more.

"Hey, you were cupping my face before." she protested, pulling my hands and placed it on her cheeks once again to cup them. "I'm just kidding, you know. Don't be one of easy butthurt people." she teased as she put her arms around my neck.

"Ouch." was all I responded to her, lowering my hands to her waist. "If you know me so well, I'm an easy butthurt man." I informed her, teasing her back.

She giggled as she leaned in, barely touching my lips with hers. "I know you aren't." she said then kissed my lips. "You're the best man I've ever met." she whispered as she pulled away.

I, who wasn't satisfied about the little kiss, pulled her closer then held her neck with one hand. "Finally, you admit it." then I kissed her as an effort to stop her laugh. She kept her arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her body. "Okay, you need to go." I said, stopping the kisses after a few moments.

"M'kay." she agreed. But then she leaned in and kissed me twice more. "Good night." she said as she hugged me. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek as I pulled away.

"Elena!" someone suddenly opened the door and called her name. It was Caroline. She ran to us to hug her friend, causing me to move and giving them more space. "Oh my God finally!"

Elena hugged her back and apologized to make her worry. Jenna came out after that and walked towards us. She then hugged Elena too, looking at me then mutterring a thank you. I smiled and nodded.

"What did exactly happen?" Caroline asked as she examined Elena. "Did someone hurt you?"

"Caroline." Jenna called, shaking her head no when Caroline turned her face to Jenna.

"It's okay, I'll tell you later." Elena said easily. Caroline and Jenna said okay in unison then pulled Elena into the house. "Thank you, Stefan." she added before letting the women pulled her any further.

"You're welcome." I said then looked at Caroline who suddenly threw her gaze and winked at me. I realized that she knew about what happened between me and Elena before she came out of the house. And she laughed out loud as she yelled, "Nighty night, Stefan!" Oh boy. She really knows about it.

ooo

"Can you tell me now?" Caroline asked me impatiently.

"Caroline." I groaned. It didn't mean that I didn't want to tell her, but it was 2 AM already and I was so tired. "Tomorrow. All the details. I promise, okay? Good night."

"Noooooo." she whined, pulling my blanket away. "At least give me a spoiler."

I sighed as I looked at her. "You hate spoilers."

"When it comes to you and Stefan, I don't hate spoilers." she explained. "Tell me."

"Fine. I kissed Stefan." I quickly said then buried my face on a pillow. I could hear she was giggling.

Caroline laid beside me then took the pillow from my face. "So how was it? Was it good? Tongue included?"

I groaned louder then took my pillow back and put it on my face again.

"I know you're blushing right now, Elena." she whispered teasingly. "Oh come on, just tell me!" she insisted again after got no response from me. "Elena, tell me right now or I'll never let you go to sleep." she added, more threatening me.

"Alright, alright." I said, taking the pillow then putting it on the back of my head. "It was... spectacular."

"Mm hmm."

I smiled shyly. "No tongue but it was really good."

"No tongue? That wasn't like what I saw."

I opened my eyes wildly then looked at her. "You saw that?"

She laughed as she nodded. "Well Jenna saw that too."

"Oh my God." I covered my face with my hands this time. This was so embarrassing.

"But I'm happy for you, Elena. He's a very good guy."

I opened my hands and said, "Thank you, Caroline."

"Okay, let's go to sleep. We can continue this tomorrow. Night, 'Lena."

"Night, Care."

I turned the lamp off then I heard Caroline whispered, "Oh one more thing."

"What is it?" I asked, tucking my body into my blanket once again.

"Just a tip, the next time you kiss him, use your tongue."

"Caroline!"

And all she did was laughing so hard that I had to cover her face with a pillow.

The next morning...

"Caroline, let's go! Stefan is here!" I yelled, calling my bestie who wasn't even ready for work yet.

"You go with him! I'll catch up!" she yelled back from the bathroom.

"Alright, see ya!" then I walked downstairs, drank my coffee and put the cup back onto the nearest table. "Bye, Jenna." I said as I bent down to kiss her cheek.

"Bye." she said it back then laughed as she looked at me.

"What?"

"Nothing, just go." but she kept laughing. I thought I knew what she was laughing about but I didn't want to waste my time anymore. I really needed to go. Stefan was standing beside his car, waiting for me when I walked out of the house. He was all... I wasn't sure, but, glowing? Or was it just me because I was too excited to see him again? He was still handsome though.

"Hey." he greeted, extending one of his hand to hold mine. "How was your sleep?"

I stopped my step right before I bumped him. "Good, how was yours?"

"It was perfect." he answered as he smiled. Oh God, that smile... "So, uh, are you ready?"

"Yeah. And I'm sorry I keep you waiting."

He nodded understandingly. "That's okay." Not wanting to waste more time, I leaned in and kissed him on the lips. He smiled when we pulled away from each other then he opened the car door for me. As always, being a gentleman. After that he hopped in and drove his car to our office.

"Uh oh..." I suddenly remembered something in the middle of the ride.

Stefan looked surprised as he turned his face to see me. "What is it?"

I leaned back to the chair and bit my finger. "I forgot something."

"Something like?" he asked, looking back and forth to the road and me.

"Your fans are going to kill me once they find out we're a thing now."

"Hahaha seriously?" he asked disbelief. "You are afraid of them?"

"You have no idea how powerful your fans are. Don't underestimate them." I tried to warn him but I guessed it wouldn't work.

"Hahaha!" he kept laughing. "Oh my God, why can't I stop laughing? Hahaha!"

"Stefan I'm serious!"

He looked at me then suddenly stopped laughing. He must've seen my serious face. He exhaled (and was still trying to not laugh at me) then grabbed my hand. "You have nothing to worry about, Elena. I got you."

"That's why I'm worried..."

Then he laughed again and again until I bit his hand and he screamed.

ooo

Knock. Knock.

"Boss you want to see me?" someone opened the door and asked me.

"Yeah, Lexi, come in." I said happily. She walked in then looked at me confusedly.

"I assume this is a great news about you but what is it about?"

"Guess it."

"You got another deal with goverment to import things to Asia?"

"Nope."

"You kicked Mikaelsons' asses?"

"Umm, not yet."

"You're getting a nephew?"

"From Damon? Not that, sweetheart."

Lexi looked at me suspiciously and I couldn't hide my happy smile anymore. And by the time she saw I smiled, she was like really got the hint.

"OH IT'S ELENA, ISN'T IT? YOU FINALLY GOT HER...?" she practically yelled that I instantly had to 'ssh' her. She lowered her voice but was still smiling, "When? What did exactly happen?" she asked eagerly as she sat down on a chair in front of me.

"Long story, Lexi. But you're right about the time will come for me and her."

"I'm really happy for you, Sir. I really am." she said politely. "Who else knows?"

"It's still you, me and her. And I bet Caroline already knew."

"I see. But I'm really curious about the story."

I lifted my eyebrows as I shook my head no. "Now? Nope. You need to get your work done, Lexi." I said, signaling her to stand up and leave the room.

"Come on, Sir. Not even a word?" she pleaded, dying to know.

"Later. I'll buy you a drink and tell you the whole story."

"Really?" she asked surprisedly, standing up from the chair. "Alright work is waiting. Bye, I'll look forward for the treat!" she said as she walked towards the door quickly. She must be really eager to know about the story. Or the drinks...? I had no idea which one, but I really wanted to share the story with her, my secretary and best friend.

ooo

I'm with Lexi at the Grill, giving her a treat. I'll see you later.

A message from Stefan. As much as I wanted to be with him, but I knew Lexi was his best friend. And he probably was telling her about us. Us... I covered my face with my hands, feeling embarrassed in all of sudden.

"Are you okay?" Caroline asked, laughing a little as she watched me.

I put my hands on the table quickly and cleared my throat. Damn, she caught me being all teenage girl who was falling in love with their crush. "Yeah, yeah. I'm okay."

"Was it Stefan?" she asked, looking down at my phone. I nodded then replied his message with an OK and a smiley face. We were in a coffee shop, taking a rest after accompanying Caroline went to boutiques for a masquerade party. I thought I knew why I felt today was way longer than the other day. I hated boutiques and I missed Stefan...

"So tell me about the details." she ordered, eating her french fries one by one.

"I don't know where to start."

"How about from wherever he found you?" she suggested. It wasn't bad though because I really had no idea for a start.

"Alright." I agreed. Then I told her about the whole story, including when I confessed my feelings for him. Her responses were great though, she nodded, screamed, yelled and giggled with her thousand expressions. It was so funny to see. "And finally yes, I know that you're always right."

"About what?" she asked, sipping her lemon tea.

"Me and Stefan."

"Aha. Finally you realized." she said excitedly, putting her glass down onto the table. "So when are you gonna do it?" she asked again.

"Do what?" I asked back, didn't understand what she meant.

"You know..." she hung, rolling her eyes. "Sex."

"Umm..." I said absurdly. "No idea..." I continued, taking one of her french fries and ate them nervously.

She leaned back and crossed her arms on her chest. "Really?"

"Where is the waitress? My food isn't coming yet." I looked around, trying to change the topic which only made Caroline laughed again.

"As a grown woman, you're pathetic." she said playfully. "Boo."

"Geez, thanks."

"Answer my question, Elena."

"Nope." I rejected her and smiled to the waitress who was finally coming to give my order. "Finally, I'm starving."

"I'm sorry for the waiting, Miss." she apologized. "Do you need anything else? If so, you can call me, my name is Jane." she added then walked back towards the bar.

Caroline still looked at me when I was about to eat. "What?" I asked her.

"If you won't tell me right now, it's okay. You can tell me whenever you're ready."

I secretly sighed, feeling more relieved now.

"But if you need my opinions for lingeries, just let me know." she added as she winked at me.

"Caroline!" I shouted her name and she just let her tongue out at me. Then we kept talking about my new relationship with Stefan and didn't realize that someone was actually staring at us until someone dropped the glasses and broke them all. I instantly looked at the chaos place and saw Derek Cane was standing not too far from us as he talked on his phone. What is he doing here? And why is he looking at me like that?

A/N: Woohoo finally. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you guys think, please? That'd be meant a lot to me and thank you for reading (plus the long wait). I love you!
