Crap, I had all this typed up and I hit something on the keyboard and it all went away. :(
»»»Note: I plan to wrap this up in the next few chapters or so. I'm running out of ideas for more chapters, but I do know how I'm going to end this. I also have another idea for a S&A story, if anyone's interested, reply. If there's enough people interested, I'll write it, but that won't happen for another couple of weeks or months. I think I'm going to be pretty busy for awhile, even after the SATs. I got my college essays to write. I started one for Boston U, but I'm getting major, major writers block. Ok, I'm rambling too much...
Enjoy this chapter!
5:30 AM:
Alexis was sound asleep until she was awaken by a loud creaking of the front door, followed by a briefcase hitting the floor and a distinct male voice yelping "Ouch! My foot!"
Stefan was back!
"Sonny, Sonny, wake up!" Alexis whispered loudly.
"What, mom, is it time for school already?"
"Mom?! No, Sonny, it's me, Alexis. You spent the night at my house, remember?"
"Lex? You know I love you, but it's", he looked at her alarm clock, "5:30 AM. I need my sleep."
"Sonny, Stefan is back!"
"What?! I thought you said that he wasn't coming back until tomorrow!"
"Hey, keep it down. I heard him just now."
"You're hearing things, go back to sleep."
"I'm going to go tell Jason and Liz what's going on." She started to get up from the bed, but was pulled back down by Sonny.
"Alexis, get your cute butt back here. You're just hearing things. There's no need to wake Liz and Jason up. Go back to sleep."
She pushed Sonny's hands off of her and left to go tell Jason and Liz what happened. She walked across the hall and knocked softly on Liz's door. When there was no reply, she gently opened the door and was shocked by what she saw. Jason and Liz were on her bed and he was spooning her. Guess he must've snuck over some time during the night.
"You guys, wake up." She shook their arms.
"What, what?" Jason asked sleepily.
"Stefan is back!"
"Who's back?" Came Liz's voice.
"Stefan."
"Listen you guys, stay here. Don't leave this room. I don't want to risk the chance of him seeing the two of you. We'll figure something out later to get all of you out of here without him knowing."
Alexis was out the door and was about to go back into her room when Stefan's voice stopped her.
"Alexis? What are you doing up? I didn't wake you, did I?"
"Stefan! You're back!" She ran up to him and gave him a hug. "Why a day early?"
"Everything got done a day early, so I decided to fly back earlier. Is that a problem? I didn't ruin that big party you were going to throw, did I?"
"Party? There's no party!"
"Relax, I was kidding. Listen, why don't we spend the day together? I feel like we never get a chance to spend time together anymore. I'm always busy with work and you've got your schoolwork."
"But I have more homework."
"You can put that off for a little while."
"Who are you and what have you done with Stefan?"
Stefan laughed. "So what do you say?"
Alexis had no choice but to say yes.
"Great. Now you better get back to sleep. Be up and dressed by 8. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get some sleep myself."
Now how was she going to get everyone out of the house?
***
15 mins later, Alexis' room
"How am I going to get you guys out of here?"
"Wait, you have to spend the day with him, right?" Sonny asked.
"Yea?"
"Why don't we all just stay here until the two of you leave and then we'll leave after you do?"
They heard a knocking on the door.
"That's Stefan! Hide!" Liz and Jason went into Alexis' large closet and shut the door and Sonny went under the bed.
"Alexis? Who are you talking to?" Stefan barged into the room.
"Someone called. Wrong number."
"Didn't I tell you to go to sleep?" He exited her room.
Close call.
***
7:50 AM
"Ok, you guys know what to do, right?"
"Yes!" All three of them said, exasperated.
***
8:10 AM
"I'm so stupid, I can't believe that I forgot the car keys."
"Hey, it's ok, Stefan."
The elevator dinged, signaling its arrival. As the doors opened, to Stefan's surprise, there stood Sonny, Jason, and Elizabeth.
"Ms. Webber, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Corinthos, what were you doing in this building?"
Before any of the three could think of an excuse, Alexis answered for them.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I forgot to call you guys and tell you not to come over today." She turned to Stefan. "They were supposed to come over to work on a school project, but I forgot to call them and let them know that I was busy today."
Stefan turned to Liz, Jason, and Sonny. "Is this true?"
"Yes", they all replied and nodded their heads.
"Bye, you guys. I'll call you later." They all started to walk away, but were stopped by Stefan's voice.
"Now, wait just a minute. Alexis, how important is this project?"
"Why?"
"You know, we can spend time together some other day. Work on this thing with your friends."
"But, Stefan, what about spending our day together?"
"We can do it some other time. Besides, I got a call earlier this morning about some important business. I should take care of that."
"You sure?"
"Yes! Now, go on upstairs with your friends and work on this project."
"All right. See you later, Stefan."
Stefan headed towards his limo while Alexis and her friends went upstairs.
***
Upstairs:
"Whew, that was a close one. Thanks for saving our butts, Lex."
"You're welcome. And I didn't just save your butts, I saved my own too." she lowered her voice. "If Stefan knew that you guys spent the night here when he specifically told me not to have friends over while he was away, I would've been grounded for life."
