Walking through the door of the bakery shop. Stefan could instantly smell all the delicious bake goods. Looking around the bakery shop. Stefan noticed there was lot of cakes, cookies and a lot of sweets that made his mouth water. He also made an mental note to bring some bake goods home for Caroline and the girls since they are staying over for the weekend again. Stefan also noticed there was tables and chairs all set up. Glancing over he saw there was a cappuccino machine. Stefan started to wonder if this really a bakery shop or a coffee shop. The way it was set up he couldn't tell.
" Hi and welcome to Karen's Bakery. I am Karen James. Can I help you with anything today?" Stefan turn his attention to the woman who was standing right in front of her. The woman was tall but not too tall. Probably around Caroline's height if Caroline wasn't wearing high heels, which she always wear. She was also slender and looks like she could be in her mid 40s or 50s.
Clearing his throat Stefan nods his head." I am Stefan Salvatore. I am here for the baker job." Stefan says with a small smile and extended his hand out towards her to shake her hand.
" Oh, yeah. My husband said you would be stopping by. You know your brother speaks very highly of you. Let's take a seat." Karen says as she walks over to one of the tables. Stefan. followed behind and sat down across from her.
" Have you ever worked in bakery shop before?" Karen asks as she starts the interview.
Stefan shook his head." No. This would be my first time working in a bakery shop. But I do bake at home when I get the chance to. Especially for my wife." Stefan says with a nod.
" Basically I need a baker at six in the morning to bake Cakes, doughnuts and everything else we are selling. The bakery shop is open from 8 to 5 from Monday through Friday. On the weekends we are open from 8 to 1. But if you can bake from home. That would be great too. Once a week I also have an delivery truck that comes and pick up orders for Coffee shops and sometimes grocery stores as well. So just make sure there's extra bakery goods." Karen says with a friendly smile.
Stefan nods his head." I can be here at 6 in the morning. I got no problem with that." I can even be here at 5 in the morning. Just to give me few extra hours to gets things prepared."
" That is even better. Do you think you can start in the morning?"
" Seriously? I got the job?" Stefan asks as his smile got bigger.
Karen nods her head as she chuckled." Yeah, you got the job. Come on and I will give you a tour of our kitchen." Karen says as she stood up and headed towards the back of the bakery and shows Stefan the kitchen. After giving Stefan the tour and after showing him where everything was. Karen gave Stefan a set of extra keys for the bakery shop. So he can open up in the morning and get started baking before she comes in to open up at eight in the morning. Stefan shook her hand once again after he thank her and after paying for the baked goods he wanted to bring home for Caroline.
Once Stefan was settled in the driver's seat and after he got his seat belt on. Stefan grabs his cell and quickly texted Caroline, letting her know the interview was done and it really well and he was on his way home to tell her the good news. Once the text was sent. Stefan set his cell down and started up his car. Few seconds later Stefan pulls away from Karen's Bakery and headed towards home.
After Caroline's conversation with Alaric about the girls spending time in Mystic falls visiting their biological mother this Christmas, this morning. Caroline couldn't help but wonder if she should go see her own mother this Christmas or not. The last time Caroline visited Liz Forbes grave was four years ago on Christmas eve. It was also the same Christmas eve that Caroline told her mom, that she was pregnant. Caroline took a deep breath as she quickly wipe her tears as she heard her cell going off. Picking up her cell from the coffee table. Caroline couldn't help but smile as she got a text from Stefan. All day Caroline has been waiting to hear from Stefan about the interview. After reading his text saying it went well. Caroline could already tell he got the job. Hearing the doorbell. Caroline set her cell back down as she got from the couch. When she walks over to the front door and pulls the door open, Caroline smiles softly as she saw Damon and Elena at her door.
" Let me guess, Stefan just texted you?" Caroline asked as she moved to the side and let them inside. Once Damon and Elena was inside. Caroline walked into the kitchen and poured drinks for her, Damon and Elena. Two glasses of ice tea for her and Elena and a glass of Bourbon for Damon. After setting them on a tray Caroline lifted up the tray and walks out of the kitchen.
" Do you think Stefan got the job?" Elena asks as Caroline hands her a glass of ice tea when Damon grabbed his glass of Bourbon.
Caroline just shrugged her shoulders as grabs her glass and sat in the chair across from them." I don't know yet, but according to his text and since you guys are both here. I am assuming he did." Caroline says as she couldn't stop smiling as she was happy and excited for Stefan. After a year of not being able to find a job. Stefan finally has one even though Damon helped him of course.
After Caroline took a sip of her ice tea. She lowers her glass as she clears her throat." I talked to Ric this morning and he's planning on taking the girls to Mystic falls for Christmas this year. He wants them to visit Jo this year."
Elena raises her brows in shock." Oh, wow. Did Ric say why he wanted the girls to visit their mom this year?"
" He says, that he wants the girls to have a chance to get to know Jo and know were they came from. He also says that it doesn't change anything cause no matter what I am always gonna be their mom." Caroline says with a small smile.
" Of course, it doesn't change anything Caroline. Both Jose and Lizzie know that you're their mom and you always will be." Elena says as she reaches over and grabs her hand and gives it a squeeze.
Caroline nods her head as she smiles softly at her best friend." Thanks. Caroline was about to tell them that she was thinking of maybe going to Mystic falls as well to visit her mom since it's been four years since the last time she visited her mom's grave. But before Caroline had a chance to say anything, the front door open. They all turned their attention to Stefan as soon as he walked in. Caroline was the first to stand up.
" Well?" Caroline asks. She already knows the answer. She just wants to hear it from him.
" I got the Job." Stefan says with a huge smile on his face. Caroline shrieks with excitement as she walks over to Stefan and threw her arms around his neck and hugs him tightly as she couldn't stop laughing as she was happy that he got the job. Stefan wraps his arm around her waist and lifts her up as he spin her around.
" I am so happy for you Stefan." Elena says as she approach Stefan and gave a hug once Stefan set Caroline on her feet and let's her go." Congratulations Stefan." Elena says as she smiles softly.
" Thanks Elena." Stefan says as he gave her a small smile and hugs her back. After Stefan thank Damon for getting him the job. All four of them spent the rest of the day celebrating the good news of Stefan getting the job with some bake goods and drinks. When Elena and Damon both said goodnight and left, Caroline walked into the kitchen with the tray of empty glasses and Stefan followed behind with empty boxes.
After Caroline rinsed out the glasses and set them on the towel to dry. She quickly dried off of her hands with a kitchen towel. Walking up to Stefan and without warning, Caroline grabs Stefan by his neck and pulls his face down towards hers as she captures her lips against his. She starts to kiss him softly and tenderly at first. Seconds later Caroline deepens the kiss more as she kisses him deeply and hard. Caroline groans softly against his lips as she grazed her teeth against his lips as she slips her tongue into his mouth. Caroline moans softly as she starts to massage her tongue against his as she slowly wraps her arms around his neck.
Stefan smirks against her lips as he reaches down and grabs the back of her legs. Lifting her up and once he wraps her legs around his waist. Stefan continues to kiss Caroline more deeply and passionately. Feeling her warm and soft lips against his Stefan inhaled and breathed against her lips as he has been waiting all day to have his wife's lips on his. Since this morning all Stefan wanted to do is devour Caroline's sweet soft lips. Without breaking the kiss Stefan walks out of the kitchen carrying Caroline upstairs into their room to make love to his beautiful wife.
