Chapter 14 (I do not own anything) Read and Review…

Bellapov

"Where you off to?"

"A date."

"Another one?"

"Um yeah…"

"That Steven kid again?"

"It's Stefan dad."

"Right…"

I grab my sweater placing it on.

"Remember to call if you're going to be out late."

"I know dad."

"Well someone rather forgot last time."

I look at my dad's face and wince as it's been a few days now and he's still bruised up from the drunk.

"Have a good time."

"Ok dad."

Stefan knocks on the door and as always he's mouthing watering. He takes off his shades as he respectfully looks towards Charlie and nods. Charlie nods back and goes back to his paper. Stefan pulls the door shut behind us and places his shades back on. What the hell is he James Dean? I swallow back in thought. It still didn't seem real sometimes that I was with Stefan.

I was surprised as well that Elena left us alone the entire week last week of school but then again I missed 3 days being sick.

"So where we going?"

"You'll see."

"Am I even dressed appropriately for what you have planned?"

"Perfectly…"
He grins.

I narrow my eyes as drives out to a place by the lake.

"Is this where you bury me alive or drain me to the last drop?"

He smirks.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Do I at least have a choice in which one?"

He laughs.

"And which would that be my dear?"

"Hmmm we'll I'm a bit claustrophobic so if I had to choose I'd prefer your lustful lips draining me dry."

He nods with a smile but it rather fades at one point as he parks.

"Stefan…"

"Yes?"

"How exactly do you feed? I mean I know you said you feed from animals and occasionally humans now that you have it under control… I guess what I'm asking is how do you choose your prey so to speak."

"It just all depends…" He sighs.

"Hey I'm not like judging you or anything Stefan you know that right?"

He nods but doesn't look convinced.

"I know why you do it so you don't stay weakened. The Cullen's drank from animal blood as well and they too had the same issue. So please don't think that I'd ever…"

"I know you aren't Bella that's not who you are. I just sometimes feel that…"
"That what? That I'm not good for you."

"Ugh shut up Stefan."

He narrows his eyes my way.

"Shut up huh?"

"Yes shut up."

He chuckles a bit.

"I ought to punish you for your mouth."

"Well by all means…"

He smiles and opens the door. He appears at my door opening it and leading me towards a certain area.

"Stay put…" He says and vanishes for a moment then reappears taking my hand.

Stefan leads me to an area with a blanket, picnic basket, champagne and lit red candles.

"Cheesy but it is what it, it is." He whispers in my ear wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I actually like it Stefan thanks."

"I figured we could use some privacy that and everyone keeps taking you away on the weekends." He pouts.

"Well I'm all yours…"
"Good…" He whispers in such a way I thought my clothes would melt right off me.

He sits me down and pops open the champagne.

"Never had a night picnic before."

"Is that so?"

I nod and he hands me a blanket.

"Just in case you get cold don't want you getting sick again."

I nod and place it next to me.

He pours us both a glass and hands me one. We clank glasses with no words just a simple look and take our sips. He then places the glass down and begins to unload the basket.

"You're pretty smooth you know that?"

He grins shaking his head.

"I try to be."

"Seriously Stefan you're like different…"
"Different?"

"Just from anyone period, it's rather refreshing. You don't second guess everything you just go for it."

He shrugs.

"It just seems that way Bella trust me I think on things a lot especially when it comes to you. You've a way of making me feel rather human again. But I happen to like it."

I smile on this as he takes out some strawberries.
"Too corny?" He asks handing them over.

"Highly. "I tease and take out a strawberry.

"So you eat after all?"

"Occasionally we're very picky we don't have a high desire for human food but can consume it."

"So what about strawberries?"

He shrugs and opens his mouth. I place one in his mouth as he bites down. He grabs at his throat as he swallows it down and pretends to choke and falls back.

I shake my head laughing. He grabs my arm pulling me back with him. I lay against his chest and feel his fingers about my hair. I crawl over him laying my body against his and lay back down. I feel him chuckle a bit as he wraps his arms around me.

"What's so funny Mr. Salvatore?"

"I'm just wondering when I'll kill over from lust."

I shrug against him.

"I don't know seems like a good way to go."

"Actually yes it would be."

"So don't complain."
"Trust me this is the furthest thing from a complaint." He places his hands about my hips and starts moving my body about him.

I look up and he brings me to his lips. I run my hand along his chest and he moans out flipping me over. His eyes go black again and I run a hand long his face. He nods and comes back down kissing my neck and barely scrapping his teeth along with his kisses. I gasp out a bit feeling him throb against me and I'm literally aching for him. I run my hands along his back. Suddenly he stops and just lays his head against my shoulder. I run a hand along his head and he looks up.

"I know what you said…"
I narrow my eyes a bit confused thinking this was random.

"What I said?"

He nods looking to me a certain way I can't read.

"Um what did I say exactly?"

"Damon told me…"

"Told you what Stefan…"

"He told me that you said you loved me."

I swallow back on this and take in a deep breath.

"Did he now?" I knew my heart was racing and my nerves were completely haywire now.

Stefan nods. He rolls off me but lays beside me looking at me. He runs a hand along my arm as he talks.

"Do you really love me?"

He asks in such a way. I close my eyes and think before I answer knowing I could very well chase him off but it was true I did love him. I couldn't lie to him or try to play this off like some casual thing because it wasn't. For some reason I raise up and a few tears start to form as the words leave my lips and my heart feels like it's going to fly out of my chest.

"Yes Stefan I do love you."

I don't even look in him the eyes as I say this out of fear of what he truly things about this. He takes his hand to my chin and turns me to face him. He narrows his eyes and wipes the tears from my eyes with his thumbs.

"Bella… I'm wildly in love with you." My heart comes to a complete stop and this feels so unreal the area around us starts to spin on me.

I swallow back and close my eyes. He kisses my forehead and brings me into his chest holding me. "I'm alive again Bella…" I feel him kiss me again.

"Me too Stefan."

Once our emotions calm down a bit we eat and drink some more champagne. Of course I'm getting extremely giggly thanks to the champagne. Stefan laughs shaking his head.

"You're rather cute when you're tipsy."

"Only when I'm tipsy?"

He laughs and leans over kissing me.

"I better get you home before your father sends out the dogs. We've been here for quite some time now."
I nod but make a pouty face.

"Hey our weekend isn't over you're still mine tomorrow."

"Is that so?"

"Yes mam all day in fact. You had better get your rest."

"Yes sir." I pretend to salute him.

"Now that's more like it." He taunts and he places me in the car as he packs everything up.
