Welcome back! This book is probably the shortest and probably not the best. I was reading over what I originally wrote and I had to take out so much because it just wasn't good. It didn't make sense and I did change a few things to make it all add up and make sense. Just hang in there through these couple of chapters and book three will only get better! I hope you do enjoy this chapter and book though…Xoxo!
*Taylor and Eric have been in Cabo for about a week now. Taylor woke up next to Eric in a dark room. She runs her fingers through her hair. Even with no humanity, something about Eric still pulled on her heart strings. Taylor got a feeling that the sun would be amazing today. She threw on her bikini and closed the door behind her. Drank some blood, walked out back and walked down the steps to the beach. Eric made sure to get somewhere private, just for human sake. Taylor didn't want to admit that in a way it gave her peace. She lets her feet get wet taking in the warm sun. It felt good. Taylor didn't really notice how cold she gets when she doesn't feed as much but the sun just felt really good to her right now. Eric groans as he turns over and notices Taylor wasn't there. His plan was in motion. Eric forced himself out of bed, grabbed his daylight ring and walked to his bluetooth. He threw on some shorts and played the song Taylor loved to dance to with him (River by Leon Bridges). He knew she loved it and couldn't help but dance with him. Eric just hopped with her humanity off, she would still want too. He always wanted to dance with her too when the song came on, he just wouldn't ever admit it. Taylor heard it and it made her want to throw up*
Taylor: Ugh. Eric..Why?...*Eric vamp sped to her, grabbed her hips and caressed her body. Taylor relaxes and leans back into him*
Eric: Come back to me baby…See this part of the world with me…You won't be sad forever Taylor. I got you, I got you baby. I love you more than you will ever know…*Taylor felt her eyes close, felt his love consuming her and the words of the music taking over. Eric felt her flip her switch, heard her cry and he held her tightly*
Taylor: She's really gone Eric…*Taylor turned around, hugged him tight and just cried*
Eric: I know…*She looked at him*
Taylor: The song is on repeat…*She smiled and Eric wiped her tears away*
Eric: You love this song.
Taylor: It's one of our songs.
Eric: Dance with me…*They danced to the song a few times*...Your mother is proud of you.
Taylor: I know…*She sighs and stares in his eyes*
Eric: What?...*Taylor kissed him and he kissed her back. Eric picked up and she wrapped her legs around him. Eric knew he should ask about Stefan but at that moment Eric didn't care. Eric wanted her and she wanted him. He wanted to take her pain away for a little. They made love for hours and she smiled*...What?
Taylor: Nothing.
Eric: What is it?...*She kissed him*...Hungry?
Taylor: Spicy Latina's?
Eric: Let's.
Taylor: Stefan and I broke up? I don't really know what we were?
Eric: Don't think about home. Don't think about anything that has to do with home. Nothing…*She sighs*
Taylor: Can I tell you what I have been thinking about?
Eric: Go for it.
Taylor: You…*His smiled drops*...I can't stop thinking about you. Even while we are here.
Eric: Taylor.
Taylor: I know. I know…Stefan. I know I have to go back. But Eric…You will always have my heart. No one will ever have my heart the way you do….*He caressed her face*
Eric: Ingen har mitt hjärta som du (No one has my heart like you)...*Taylor smiled, straddled and kissed him*...Latina's?...*He kisses her neck*...Or…*He kisses her neck again and her fangs pop*
Taylor: We have blood bags here.
Eric: Mmm. Okay love…*He vamp speeds, towering over her*...You will always be mine.
Taylor: I love you…*Eric kissed her and bit her. Taylor moaned and she bit him. Eric moaned, they kissed and made love all night. Slept and cuddled in each other's arms*
*It was a few days later and they were still in Cabo. Eric knew she wasn't ready to go back yet and he would stay with her until she felt okay to go back home. With coming off the ripper binge and with her mom. Eric didn't want to push her at all…Eric is sitting in the chair in the shade, listening to waves and thinking of home. He looked over and saw Taylor making her way to him, she was wearing an all white two piece, strapless bikini. He thought…"Beautiful. White looks good on her…Good to know for when I marry her"*
Taylor: I brought blood back.
Eric: Perfect…*He sat up, she sits between her legs and he rubs her arms*
Taylor: Do we ever have to go back Eric?
Eric: No. We can stay as long as you would like…*Taylor smiled*
Taylor: What do you want to do today?
Eric: Anything your heart desires…*She smiled again*
Taylor: Hmmm?...You…*Eric smiled*
Eric: I can arrange that…*She looked up at his eyes and kissed him, Eric deepened the kiss*
Taylor: Wanna take a dip…Then?
Eric: Then I'll take a dip in you…*Taylor laughed*
Taylor: EWL! Eric!...*He laugh and grabbed her*...Eric put me down!...*He ran into the water with her, he stayed in human form. There were people around and he didn't want them staring*...You better not drop me! Eric! I mean it!
Eric: Opps!...*She grabbed him tighter*'
Taylor: ERIC!...*He laughs. This is how it felt when she was human. Damn, he missed her so much and wishes he could just say how he feels. Eric didn't want to confuse her. He knew her mind was racing about Stefan and them fighting. He knew that she still cared for Stefan but Eric also knew he would have Taylor back in his arms at some point*...Eric…*He sets her down, grabbed her hips and she wraps her arms around his neck while they look into each other's eyes*...Eric. I…
Eric: What?
Taylor: Jag älskar dig (I love you)...*Eric stared into her eyes and put his nose to her nose*
Eric: Jag älskar dig….*Taylor smiles and he kisses her*
Taylor: Thank you for saving me.
Eric: You don't have to thank me love…*He sees a wave coming and pushes her in it. He laughed*
Taylor: Eric!...*Taylor tackled him and he picked her up*..Now I'm all wet.
Eric: Yes, yes you are…*He raised an eyebrow*...Wanna head back?
Taylor: Yeah…*He grabbed their stuff and they started to walk back*
Eric: You look amazing in white by the way.
Taylor: You think?
Eric: I'll have to remember that when I ask you to marry me…*Taylor stopped walking and he looked back at her. Did those words just come out of his mouth. Taylor thought he was absolutely fucking with her because Eric doesn't ever talk like this. Not even a joke. To hear those words from him made her heart skip a beat and thump harder for him*
Taylor: Why would you even mess around like that?
Eric: I'm not…*He walks to her and caressed her face*...I can tell you still want Stefan. That is fine but know this…I won't ever stop loving you, I can't and I won't ever. One day…You will be mine again and I will marry you Taylor Anslee…*Eric wiped her tears as they fell…Deep down that's all she's ever wanted. To marry and carry his last name, to love and to cherish him forever and always, always stand by his side. Taylor kissed him and he grabbed her wet hair. He gets to the house, kicks the door open and then slams the door shut behind him, dropping their stuff. Taylor breaks the kissing with moaning. They couldn't break from the kissing, it was so much fire between the two of them. He kisses her neck, shoulders, collar bone. Taylor bit her lip at his kisses, she felt her eyes change and her fangs pop*...Bed?…*Eric kissed and she rubbed on his body*...Shower?...*He kisses her again*...Ooo. Or the shower?...*Taylor moaned as he kissed her*
Taylor: Fuck. Shower…Right now…*Eric grinned, ran them to the shower. They stripped each other and kissed under the water. Eric picked her up, inserted and then bit her. Taylor moaned at his fangs*...Eric…*They made love in the shower and then made it to the bed and made love for next could of hours*...Mmmm…*They cuddled together and Eric ran his fingers through her hair*
Eric: So beautiful…*She smiled and heard her phone ring again*
Taylor: Shit…Hello?
Caroline: Are you okay? I called like three times?
Taylor: Yeah. Sorry. I left my phone while we were at the beach…*She rubbed her head*
Caroline: I think you should head back…*Eric shook his head no*
Taylor: Everything okay?
Caroline: Someone killed Jeremy…*Eric rolled his eyes as he knew Taylor would run back, even though she wasn't ready. He loved and hated that about her. Taylor would put others before her time after time and would only push her problems down until it blew up in her face*
Taylor: What!?
Caroline: Elena…Is…
Taylor: I can't come back right. But I will start to make my way back home. It's almost dawn and I don't want to leave Eric..
Caroline: Of course. Of course. I just thought you should know.
Taylor: Thanks Care…*Caroline sighed*
Caroline: I miss you, we miss you…Even Stefan…*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: I miss you guys too..
Caroline: I love you. Be safe, okay.
Taylor: I will..Love you too Care…*Taylor sighed and looked at Eric*
Eric: Going back?...*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: Yeah…*She cuddled back next to him*...I don't want to leave you Eric…*Eric pulls her chin for her to look up at him*
Eric: You still love him. Taylor, I am not going anywhere. I love you and I will always love you my love…Go back to him…*She cries*
Taylor: I want you Eric.
Eric: But you love him. Deep down you do. I can see it…*Eric pulled her closer to him*...I want you. All of you. But…Taylor, just know I will always be right here.
Taylor: I have to go back.
Eric: You have to go back.
Taylor: Thank you so much for this trip.
Eric: We can come back whenever you want. Now rest love.
Taylor: Can we just stay one more day?
Eric: Of course my love.
Taylor: I love you Eric.
Eric: I love you more…*They kissed and fell asleep in each other's arms…It was a day later and Eric agreed to walk in first. So they waited till nightfall and drove over together. Eric was only doing this because Taylor cared about these people. It was to keep her and make her happy. Eric walked in first*
Damon: Elena.
Eric: Elena.
Elena: Stop saying that! He's dead…Just say it! I can't take it! Now I know why Taylor shut it off.
Taylor: Heard that…*They looked over and Eric smiled as she walked in. Taylor made him feel so many things and Eric just wanted to run away with her and make her his*
Caroline: Taylor! You look…Happy?...*Caroline smiled and Taylor smiled in return*
Taylor: Thanks…Elena. Are…I know you aren't. But are you okay?
Elena: It hurts. It's too much and it won't stop…*She stood up and grabbed the lighter fluid. Elena lost so much, so many people and right now it was too much for her to handle. Eric looked at Taylor as he thought of her breaking down in Cabo. How he had to hold her through the pain and from going on mass murder*
Caroline: Stop it Elena! You're scaring me!...*Elena looked at her while she put the lighter fluid all over the house*
Elena: Why! We can't keep the body because we have to have a cover story right! I mean there is nothing here for me in this house anymore! I can't even! I don't want to!
Stefan: Breath Elena…*Elena dropped to knees and cried. Taylor looked away, feeling Elena's pain, feeling the pain from her mother. Bonnie saw Eric grab Taylor's hand*...You are acting on emotions.
Bonnie: There could be another way.
Elena; How Bonnie! We can't keep the body here!
Taylor: I know a witch. I may be able to get help.
Elena: No. It's going down. Make it stop! Please just make it stop!
Stefan: Damon. Help her…*Damon bent down to her level*
Damon: Elena…Turn it off.
Stefan: Damon.
Elena: Wha?
Damon: I can help you. Just turn it off…*He caressed her face*...It'll be better. I promise. Just turn it off…*Elena closed her eyes, turned it off and when she opened her eyes…Taylor knew that look. Elena was gone, cold and numb. Elena grabbed the matches*
Taylor: Are you sure about this Elena?...*Elena nodded, dropped the match and they walked behind her*
Bonnie: You can save him?
Taylor: You shouldn't have to do it. It's too much pressure on you. The witch is a friend of my moms and I am sure she would be happy to help.
Caroline: Happy thoughts. How was Cabo?
Bonnie: More like..How was it with you and Eric?...*Taylor smiled and looked at Eric. Eric smiled back at her and winked*
Taylor: It was good. Very relaxing…*Bonnie raised an eyebrow at her*
Stefan: Damon…That was the last of her!
Damon: I thought you said to help her. So I did. Didn't you say a while back…You didn't care anymore. Something about not wanting to repeat history and you have Taylor…*Eric looked over at the sound of her name*
Stefan: Her brother was all she had. Damon…It's because you want her like you…*Taylor looked over*
Caroline: Don't. Girls night?
Taylor: I…*Eric walked over*
Eric: Go. You could use the…Fresh air. We have been cooped up for some time lover…*He grinned*...I love you.
Taylor: I love you too…*Eric kissed her forehead and walked to his car. Taylor watched him pull off and sighed*
Bonnie: Come on. We can talk all about it.
Caroline: I'll order pizza.
Taylor: Meet you there…*Bonnie and Caroline walked away. Stefan drove to Taylor's, they sat in silence until they walked in the house*
Stefan: You want me to move out Taylor?
Taylor: No…I. I have to get to Care's…*Stefan then sees her starting to pack*
Stefan: Then will just listen. Please…*She nodded and they sat down on the bed together*...Yes. I still love Elena. I can't really let go or turn it off just yet. But I know I do love and care about you. I love our time together. Taylor…I know deep down you still love Eric.
Taylor: He's my maker. I'll always love him.
Stefan: Not what I meant. What I meant was that we both are still glued to the people who are everything to us. I'm not blind, I see how you look at him. Taylor, if you let me I can make you happy…*Taylor sighed and looked at him*
Taylor: You already do Stefan…*He smiled*...I'm sorry.
Stefan: Me too…*He kissed her*...Now. Go have a girls night. I'll be here. Waiting for you…*Taylor left for Caroline's. The girls had a fun night and talked about boys. They convinced Taylor to help Stefan with Elena and maybe that would make her and him closer. Taylor agreed and texted with Eric off and on about work and life and just normal chit chat. She didn't know how to be friends with someone she loved so deeply. Taylor was willing to try though for Stefan. It was a few days later Stefan woke to his phone ringing, saw that it was Damon and took it on the other room*
Damon: So?
Stefan: What's the plan?
Damon: We make her feel what she used to feel.
Stefan: Feelings Damon?
Damon: Yes. Remember it's Stefan and always going to be Stefan.
Stefan: I can't do that Damon…*Stefan sighed and Damon frowned*
Damon: Why the hell not? You're single.
Stefan: No. Actually I am not…*Damon raised an eyebrow*
Damon: When did you guys get back together?
Stefan: Couple days ago.
Taylor: Stefan, everything okay?...*Taylor got up and walked to him*
Damon: Tell her.
Taylor: Tell me what?...*Stefan sighs and looks at her*
Stefan: Damon wants to make Elena feel what she used to feel…*Taylor ran her fingers through her hair and sighed*
Taylor: Fine.
Damon: See you soon brother…*Damon hung up*
Stefan: You aren't okay with this?
Taylor: No. But if it has to get done…Then…
Stefan: I'll head over.
Taylor: I'll help…*Stefan looked confused*...I want to help you Stefan…*Stefan smiled and Taylor rubbed his chest*...Before I would rather help you in the shower.
Stefan: Oooo. Please do…*Taylor smiled, they showered and drove to Damon's. When they got there Damon had Elena against the wall*
Taylor: Damon!
Stefan: Let go!
Elena: Thank you…*Elena walked out of the door*
Taylor: Caroline said Mystic Falls is having their prom. So we go and we make her feel for Stefan, Bonnie said she could even help.
Damon: Can she even control her magic right now?…You know with Jeremy.
Taylor: Shit. Right.
Stefan: You think Eric could help out?
Taylor: Eric and Pam went to Dallas. They got a lead on Sarah.
Damon: Well good for him. Vampires are going to be healed soon…*Taylor smiled*...Wait. What if we make her feel? Like actually make her feel…*Taylor paced and then looked at her ring*
Stefan: Taylor?
Taylor: Matt has a ring. We "kill him" and she flips the switch…*Damon looks at Stefan and Stefan nods*
Stefan: I can't see why not.
Damon: Well. Let's go get ready for prom…
Okay. So I know this chapter is probably not good at all. Book 2, the start is a little boring, just keep your fangs in and I promise. It'll get better! Much love, Anslee!
