Caroline looked around the room feeling pretty great about the work she'd done. They rented out The Grill for Damon and Elena's engagement party and she had only taken one week to make the place look spectacular. She hoped Damon and Elena would love it. She looked at the time and saw it was already 4:30; she needed to get home and get ready before the party started at 7.

Stefan and Damon waited in the kitchen for the girls to finish getting ready. It was already 6:30 and Damon was sure they were going to be late to their own party.
"Elena, we're going to be late! Can we please go? I'm sure you look great!" he yelled up the stairs.
Stefan laughed at his brother. Damon knew better by now not to expect these girls to be ready on time for anything.
"Damon, did you really think we were ever going to be on time to this thing?" he asked him.
"Well considering it's our freaking engagement party I was hoping that we would be there before everyone else."
"You're dreaming brother", Stefan told him with a laugh.

Just then, both of the girls came down the stairs together and the brothers were no longer laughing.

Elena walked over to Damon as Stefan made his way to Caroline.
"You look incredible, Caroline", Stefan told her with a kiss to her cheek.
"Well thank you handsome", she responded with a blush and a smile.
They looked over and saw Damon and Elena all over each other and Stefan rolled his eyes.
"Do you think they'd notice if we just left without them?" He asked her.
Caroline laughed, "I'm going to say they don't even remember that we're in the same room."
"HEY!", Stefan yelled to the two.
Elena pulled away with the guilty look of a little kid who just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"Sorry guys, just can't help myself sometimes, have you seen my fiancé?" Damon asked with his signature smirk.

Caroline and Elena laughed as Stefan just rolled his eyes again.
"Alright everyone, let's get this party started!" Caroline shouted as she and Elena took off for the car.

Stefan swore Caroline hadn't taken a breath since they got to the party. She'd been running around The Grill trying to make sure everyone was having a good time and yelling at the catering staff. It was driving him crazy, he just wanted a minute alone with his girl.

He was standing by the pool tables when he heard her voice coming from the kitchen, "SERIOUSLY!?"
He decided it was time for him to help her de-stress a little bit.
He walked in the kitchen and saw her trying to fix a couple of cupcakes that had fallen off of the holder.

She turned when she heard him come in, "This is a disaster!" she exclaimed.
"What is?" he asked.
"These cupcakes fell and now they're ruined which means that half of the dessert tray is now ruined! This was not supposed to happen!"
Stefan couldn't help but laugh, she was so cute when she was in control freak mode.
He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hey, I promise you that dessert is not ruined. You still have a ton of stuff for them to put out."
She turned in his arms so she was now facing him, "I just wanted everything to be perfect for Elena and Damon", she said with a pout.
"I know you did, that's just one of the things that makes you so amazing", he said as he kissed her forehead.
"But you have done such a wonderful job with this party, Care. Everyone is having so much fun and Damon and Elena are on cloud nine. Your work is done for the night. And that means that it's time for you to come enjoy the rest of the party with your boyfriend, because he's been lonely all night", he told her with his own pout.
She laughed and leaned in to give him a kiss. "You're right. So does that mean you'll dance with me?" she asked with a hopeful smile.
"Anything for you", he told her as he grabbed her hand to lead her out of the kitchen.

Stefan swayed Caroline around on the dance floor and she felt so content. She was wrapped in the arms of the man she loved with her head resting on his shoulder.

Stefan felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see Damon.
"Mind if I cut in little brother?" he asked.
"I suppose so, just watch where your hands are, Damon." Stefan told him with a teasing tone.

Damon just laughed as he spun Caroline around until they were in the middle of the dance floor.
"What you've done here tonight is amazing, Caroline. Elena and I can't possibly thank you enough."
"It really was no problem at all, Damon. I would do anything for you and Elena. After everything the two of you have done for me, this was the least I could do", she told him with a smile.
"You're family, Blondie. Elena and I would do anything for you too", he said as he spun her around again.
Damon saw her staring off to a different part of the dance floor and followed her gaze to see Stefan dancing with Elena. Damon watched the way Caroline looked at his brother and smiled.
"You really love him, don't you?" he asked her.
Caroline looked at him with a shocked expression on her face.
"What?" she asked, pretending she hadn't heard him.
Damon just smiled at her, "Don't worry Care, your secret is safe with me", he told her.
She gave him a small smile, "It's just…he might think it's too soon for those kind of feelings, you know?"
Damon nodded his head. "I know you're scared Caroline. But, for what it's worth, I'm pretty certain he feels the same way about you."
"What makes you say that?" she asked.
Damon looked back over at Stefan and Elena and saw his brother staring at the blonde.
"Because, he looks at you the same way I look at Elena", he told her with a smile.
Caroline looked over and saw Stefan's eyes on her as he waved at them.
"Thank you, Damon", she said sincerely.

Damon spun her around one more time, but this time as he did, she saw another dark haired boy sitting at the bar, staring at her with intense eyes.
Caroline's entire body instantly tensed up and her veins felt like they'd turned to ice.
Damon felt her stop moving and looked at her to see the terrified look on her face.
"Caroline? What's wrong?" he asked, seriously concerned now.
"Damon…Tyler is here."
