Hey guys! I think this is the fastest update for me ever! I know you all want them to get together already and I promise you they will, I have a plan, so you just have to be a little patient.
Thank you for your amazing reviews. I love them all!
Please review and let me know your thoughts…
Enjoy!
I wake up the next day at 10 in the morning well rested and happy. Everything in my life is great at the moment and I'm excited for a new day.
I head to the bathroom to take a shower but then decide to take a bath instead, after all it's a Sunday. I put some relaxing music on my iPod and get in the bath. That's a good start of the day.
After I finish my bath, I put on some sweat pants and a hoodie and go downstairs to make some pancakes. Surprisingly Jeremy is awake. I find him in the kitchen looking into the fridge trying to find something to eat.
"Morning" I say cheerfully.
"Hey" He's obviously half asleep.
"I'm making pancakes, you want some?"
He looks up at me and narrows his eyes "You're making pancakes?!"
"Oh God! Not you too! I won't burn the house don't worry." I say while shoving him away from the fridge so that I can get the ingredients.
"I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Just in case." He says then sits on one of the kitchen-table chairs staring at me.
I ignore him and start mixing things together to make the pancakes.
Half an hour later, the pancakes are ready. I didn't burn the house and they taste delicious!
"This is so good! If I didn't see you make them with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed you made them." Jeremy says with his mouth full.
"I don't know if this is supposed to be a compliment…"
"It is"
"Oh then Thank you"
The next few hours are spent with nothing much to do, a little studying, internet browsing, TV watching and video games playing.
We make sandwiches for lunch and I tell Jeremy that I probably won't be here for dinner so he decides to have dinner with a few friends.
At 4pm I go to my room to start getting ready, after some thinking, I decide on a red wool casual dress with black leggings and my black boots. I braid my hair, add earrings and put some perfume.
I pick up my phone and find that I have a missed call from Stefan so I call him back praying that he's not canceling on me.
"Hey" He answers after the first ring.
"Hi, I just saw you called me."
"Yeah, um… I just wanted to suggest that I come pick you up since your house is on my way there. What do you think?"
He wants to pick me up! Am I so silly to be extremely happy about it?!
"Yeah that's a great idea!"
"Ok then, I'll be there in 10 to 15 minutes"
"Alright. Drive safe"
"Will do."
After we hang up I hold the phone to my chest like a love-sick teenager. Oh wait that's exactly what I am…
13 minutes and 34 seconds later Stefan's car is in front of my house. I rush downstairs and almost bump into Jeremy as he's coming out of the living room.
"Why are you on such a hurry?!"
"I'm going out. I'll see you tonight."
He looks confused then smirks a little "Oh I see… That guy with the red Porsche…"
I hit him on his arm playfully, grab my coat just in case and go outside.
Stefan gets out of his car as soon as he sees me and opens the door for me.
"Hey" He says.
I smile and respond with a "Hi". After I'm inside he goes back to his side and gets in.
Why does this whole thing feel like a date all of the sudden?!
"How was your day?" Stefan asks as he starts driving. We talk for the rest of the drive about nothing exactly, just normal, everyday stuff. When we reach the movie theatre we go out and buy our tickets, there's still 30 minutes left for the movie to start so we take a seat in the waiting room.
"Stefan?" I say after some silence.
"Yeah?"
"Are you… better today? I mean I know you're hurting but is it getting any better?"
He sighs and looks straight ahead "I guess so, when I don't think about it I'm fine but when I do… it hurts"
He looks so sad when he says this that I feel bad for asking "I'm sorry it brought it up"
He looks at me and smiles "No it's fine. If I can't talk to you then who can I talk to, right?"
I'm so flattered that he said this and I think I blush a little.
"Let's go buy some popcorn!" He says with enthusiasm.
After we buy everything we need we head inside the theatre and choose some good seats. People come in and take their seats, which leaves the theatre half full. Soon the light go out and we're left in darkness with nothing but the screen's light.
The movie is exciting and a little nail-biting. It's definitely a good choice.
When the movie ends Stefan starts gushing about it, analyzing every single scene. I comment when necessary and laugh when it's funny and nod when I feel he needs an indication that I'm listening. Seeing him like this makes me so happy, he's a lighter and younger Stefan. He's so adorable.
We walk to his car and I head for the door when we reach it but Stefan stops me.
"Let's take a walk." He suggests with his hand outstretched for me to take it and a smile that makes it impossible to say no. Not that I want to say no.
I place my hand in his and a current runs through my whole body starting with my hand and ending with my toes. We start walking around aimlessly, chatting and joking and messing around. It all feels so relaxing, so normal, so… right.
After spending an hour walking we go back to the car and Stefan drives me home. Too soon we arrive to my house, and Stefan opens my door and helps me out then walks me to the door. The house is dark which means Jeremy is still out.
"Would you like to come in?"
"I better head home. It's almost 10 and we have an early day tomorrow." He says while smiling apologetically.
"Yeah, you're probably right. I'll see tomorrow"
"I had a great time today. Good night Elena"
"Good night." I say as I watch him walking to his car then driving away. When I can't see his car anymore, I unlock the door and go inside. I turn on a few lights because the house looks kind of creepy like this. I go to my room and change to my PJs when I hear the front door opening.
"Jeremy?!" I call "Is that you?"
I wait a little but there's no answer so I decide to go out of my room to check it. I open my door and look outside but I can see nor hear anyone. I then look in Jeremy's room but there's no one. My heart starts beating fast. Did I imagine the voice of the door opening or is there really someone in the house?
My eye catches a baseball bat in Jeremy's room so I pick it up and head downstairs as quietly as I can. When I reach the end of the stairwell I hear the voice of people whispering in the living room. So I take a deep breath and turn to the living room with the bat raised high, ready to take a swing.
"God dammit Elena! It's just me!" Comes Jeremy's voice. He's standing in front of me with his hands in front of his face protecting him.
"You scared the hell out of me!" I scream at him. "You could've told me it was you!"
"Ok ok I'm sorry. Just don't hit me."
I realize I'm still aiming the bat at him so I lower my arm. I look behind him and I find a girl standing still looking at us.
"Elena," begins Jeremy, "this is Anna"
I look at him mentally asking him who Anna is. He avoids my stare and looks at Anna.
"This is my sister Elena."
"Hi Anna. I didn't know Jeremy brought company."
She looks very nervous "We were studying in a coffee shop but then it became crowded so we thought we could come here. I'm sorry we scared you."
"Don't worry about it, I'm easily frightened." I say trying to ease her guilt. "Jeremy can I talk to you for a second?" I say while walking to the dining room. He follows me and we reach a place I know she can't hear us from I stop and turn around to face him.
"So? Spill!" I order.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on! Who is she? I'm your sister; you have to tell me!"
"Keep your voice down!"
I stop talking and look at him pointedly waiting.
"Ok," He says giving up. "She's a girl I met in the library 2 weeks ago. I've been seeing her a lot since then but we're just friends."
"But you want to be more than just friends, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, let's see; you haven't brought a girl home for years, you've been going to the library a lot recently, and you look at her in an 'I like you' way"
"Ok, yes I like her but it's only been 2 weeks"
"I think she likes you too. Just go for it. Tell her you like her and see what happens. She looks like a good person"
"She is. I think I'll tell her but not now. It's still too early."
"Ok, well I'm going to bed. Be a good host and offer her something to drink."
"Yeah fine ok! Good night Elena." He says then walks out before I get to say anything else.
I go to my room and lie in my bed. Then a thought crosses my mind, I just told Jeremy to be honest about his feeling and tell Anna what he really feels while I've been doing the exact opposite with Stefan. I didn't lie but I didn't tell the truth either. He should know that there's someone who actually loves him for him not for his looks.
Should I tell him about my feelings or is it the wrong time?!
