AN: The way for this chapter is: "Can I kiss you?"
omg you'll all love this one. Can be read as a time lapse from thirty six.
Also, second time Elena has done the way
They're in a bookstore, the mythology section, and she sees her ex boyfriend from a few months before. He was human, she had tried to date him just to see if she was ready to date. She wasn't, and it ended painfully, although she compelled a lot of things away when they broke up. He's coming towards them.
"Kiss me." Elena says frantically. She's seen this work in movies.
"What?" He asks in disbelief, he hasn't seen her ex-she pulls him to her using his tie-and his lips meet hers. He pulls her closer, and she relaxes into him. She almost pays attention to the human heartbeat, the ex boyfriend, but she's pressed into Elijah to the point where she's almost sure she'll have button marks on her skin. She does not give her ex a second thought. He's not kissing her like a distraction. He's kissing her like he's thought about it. A lot. She has too, and she focuses on showing that. They break away when they hear someone clear their throat, and she realizes he might like her too.
