CHAPTER ELEVEN-The Mysterious Ways Of Love
Elena slipped off of his lap and slowly tip toed off towards the pool table, where most of their clothing had been discarded. She smiled to herself as she lifted up Stefan's t-shirt and brought it to her nose, inhaling deeply at the scent of him. Mint aftershave on his shirt, a mixture of some random spice that she couldn't seem to place and soap.
"Hey you! Are you trying to make sure that I don't smell?" Stefan asked her in a joking manner, getting up off of the seat that he had occupied on the recliner. Elena laughed as she turned away from him slightly and blushed.
"No, I'm just...I...Ah, to hell with it. Yes! I'm trying to memorize the smell of you so that when I'm alone tonight. I don't have to miss you when you're not around." Elena explained in a nervous tone as she placed the shirt back down and went to grab her tank top off of the pool table.
She first heard Stefan laugh and then he gently grabbed her wrist, pulling her body towards his just a bit as he spoke. "How about just keep it and then you won't have to miss me. Or better yet, I can just sleep next to you tonight." He told her, with that same lust filled expression that he had on his face when they had stepped foot into the building.
"Stefan, that's sweet. It really is. You have no idea how much I would love to take you up on that offer. But, I have a feeling that if you and I did that. Then, we wouldn't be getting much sleeping done at all...Plus, I need my beauty rest if you want me to come with you to your dance studio and we can practice those moves you were so eager to show me the other night. That is now that I know how flexible you are." Elena told him with a wink as she turned away from him and pulled her tank top over her head and then began to pull her jeans over her underwear, one leg at a time.
"Oh! Ha..Wow! So, umm...I take that as a rejection then? You don't want me?" Stefan said, pretending to pout a bit as Elena turned back around, straightening her shirt up before she stepped closer to him, placing one of her hands on his chest.
"Oh, Stefan. I want you. I never said that I didn't. But, I want to get my beauty sleep too. Because, well...let's face it. I want to learn everything you're willing to teach me. So, Excuse me...as I-" Elena began to say watching as Stefan gritted his teeth and rubbed his face with his hands.
"As you what?" Stefan asked in a serious tone, locking his eyes on her and licking his lips when she stepped closer towards him, pulling her hand to the side of his body as he leaned forward.
"As I take your shirt with me! See you later, Coach!" Elena said with a wink before disappearing out of the room with her things and leaving Stefan with a stunned expression and the craving of wanting her all over again.
"You did what!" Bonnie exclaimed as she watched Elena throw herself onto the couch and stare down at her hands almost instantly.
"I..Um..I...Well, I had sex with Stefan..you know the guy whose-" Elena began to say as Bonnie almost choked on the water that was in her mouth, swallowing it quickly as she rolled her eyes at her best friend.
"Elena, I know very well who Stefan is! But, I guess I didn't really realize that you two were that intimate. I mean, I've seen you guys flirting like teenagers around here and stuff. But, I didn't really think that there was anything else to it." Bonnie explained as she heard Elena let out a laugh before she spoke in a soft tone.
"That's the thing. It's not like I can call him my boyfriend. Because, well we've only been on one semi-dinner, hot sexy dancing in a club date. But other than that..He's just..Look, Bonnie. It just happened in the heat of the moment. If it interferes with him working here. I mean, if you or Jeremy aren't okay with me seeing him or us like that. Then, I can just tell him that it isn't going to work out." Elena suggested as she watched Bonnie roll her eyes at her again and shake her head.
"You know that it's not that. It's just, I guess I'd be more comfortable if you had an apartment or something. You know, just so that you're not-" Bonnie began to say as Elena cut her off.
"I know. I get it. You don't want Stefan and I to be sneaking around on your property. Because it would be bad for the business. So, I'll be moving out of here and into the city as soon as I find my own place. I promise, no more sneaking around with him. Until, I get my own place." Elena vowed as she heard Bonnie sigh.
"Elena, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite. I know I might sound like one. But, all I'm saying is that it's your private life and I get that. I would just hate for someone to see you and report the two of you. You know." Bonnie explained as she watched Elena nod her head in response.
"That's fine. I guess, I'm going to start looking for an apartment then." Elena told her in a sharp tone as she got up from the couch and gave Bonnie a quick smile before leaving the room.
She had been sitting in one of the small rooms that she was renting out from her brother and Bonnie, since she had temporarily moved into the B&B almost a month ago. The afternoon seemed to be fading fast and Elena was nearly falling asleep over her lap top with all the research for finding an apartment close to town, when she heard her cell phone buzz on the night stand beside her.
She picked it up quickly and said a soft hello. Surprise and a gleeful smile on her face when she heard his voice on the other line.
"Hey. So, I got your number from your brother. I kind of lied and told him that I needed it just in case of an emergency." Stefan commented with a laugh as he heard Elena exhale deeply.
"Emergency, huh? So..What's wrong? You're not like dying are you..you know from like a broken heart or something." Elena commented in a teasing tone as she heard Stefan let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Oh, you think your just so funny don't you. Actually, no. I'm not. But, I am-" He began to say as Elena cut him off again.
"Stefan, it's getting late and I'm tired. So, what is it?" She asked, a hint of irritation in her tone.
"Well, It's two things actually. One is that I'm home alone and the other is that I'm dying because I want to see you again. When can you come over?" Stefan asked in a hopeful tone as he heard Elena exhale deeply.
"Stefan, I can't..I promised Bonnie that you and I would stop fooling around while I'm living at the B&B. I'm actually looking for an apartment." She commented.
Stefan let out a laugh and cleared his throat. "Well, that's nice. But, here's the thing. I'm alone and It's my place so we're technically not going to be fooling around the B&B...we'll be doing most of that in-" Stefan began to say as he heard Elena let out a laugh.
"Ha..So, If I come over then I guess I won't be needing to sleep with your shirt tonight?" She asked him in a playful tone.
"Oh sweetheart. No. Because, you'll have something better. Me." Stefan told her simply as he heard the phone cut off and the dial tone blaring into his ears, a smirk forming on his face as he waited for her to show up.
