:HER:

He wasn't going easy on me, but I was putting up the best fight that I could. We promised that we would start to get familiar with each other's bodies and so far so good. I was always pretty comfortable being half naked around Stefan, but I knew that he wasn't all that comfortable being half naked around me. However, these past few weeks, I can see him getting comfortable with me which I love.

He pins me on the bed and allows the both of us to catch up on our breathing.

"Are you ready to give up yet?"

"Bennett's don't give up," I say between breath. "You're lucky I don't want to headbutt you."

"You don't know how to headbutt."

"I do too!"

"I would ask for you to do it, but I don't want my head to hurt."

I laugh and take his relaxed state to my advantage by switching our positions, pinning him to the bed instead.

"Nice,"

I shrug and Stefan just stares at me like I'm some type of goddess.

"Man you're beautiful."

It doesn't matter how often he tells me that, I still blush every time. I look at his lips then his eyes before I lean down to kiss him. His hand digs into my hair and I both love it and hate it when he does that because it makes our kisses more heated. We both groan when the doorbell fills the house. I kiss him longer before I pull away.

"I'll get rid of whoever it is."

He tells me to hurry back as I walk down the stairs slipping on his shirt. I fix my hair some in the mirror since Stefan messed it up some before I open the door and once I do, I start to regret volunteering in answering the door. Evan raises an eyebrow and I'm guessing it's because I'm wearing Stefan's shirt and nothing else.

"Uh-"

"It's not what it looks like," I say even though I don't know why I'm explaining myself to him.

"Hey, no need to explain, it's your relationship." I smiled. "And speaking of, I heard you are engaged."

"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner,"

"Don't sweat it, I get it your only focus is on the wedding."

"Pretty much,"

"Let me see the ring."

I hold out my hand and he draws it closer having the diamonds shine on his face.

"Nice,"

Before I had the chance to respond, I feel Stefan walk up behind me and wrap an arm around my waist pulling me into him.

"Hey man, I just was stopping by wishing you two congratulations."

Stefan's response was a hum, and I tried to stop my chuckle but I couldn't but I do succeed in hiding my smile.

"Well, I should go. Congratulations again."

"Thanks," I say as Stefan closed the door.

I turn to give him a look but I notice his shirtless state and messy hair and I just had to kiss him. He pulls away and throws me over his shoulder taking me back upstairs to slam me on the bed.

"I thought you said you'll get rid of whoever was at the door."

"I was,"

"Liar."

"…Stefan, there's something that I should tell you."

"What?"

"Since we're engaged now I think that there shouldn't be any secrets between us."

"What?"

"I don't want you to get mad,"

"Spit it out, Bonnie."

"Um… Well, do you remember when we got in that fight and I left but then we met up and fixed things and I went to go get my stuff from Evan's place?"

"Yeah,"

"Well y'see I kissed Evan on the cheek as a goodbye but then he…kissed me."

Stefan sat up. "He what?"

"I didn't want to tell you at first because I didn't, and still don't, know what he meant by it-"

"Wait, so he kissed you? Like on the lips?"

"Yes, and before you ask I didn't kiss him back."

"I wasn't going to ask you that."

"Stefan," I sat up with him and held his head in my hands making him look at me. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was just confused-"

"I don't want him anywhere near our wedding."

"I don't either, I didn't even invite him. I don't know how he figured out, I didn't tell him, but I guess the town talks."

I wait for him to say something but he doesn't he just sits there with a look that I haven't seen before so I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Stef,"

"I need some air." He stood up and walked over to the dresser to grab a shirt.

"Stefan,"

"I'll be back."

I just sat there and watched him walk out. I hope that he isn't mad at me, but I figured that I needed to tell him and I don't regret doing so.

A few minutes later, I get a text from Caroline telling me that Stefan is over there which I figured that's where he went.

I cooked his favorite dinner, but he didn't show up until late but I waited up for him anyway.

"I'm sorry, Stefan, please don't be mad at me," I said hugging him.

"I'm not mad at you, baby."

"I cooked you your favorite, I'll feed it to you."

"I think I'm just going to sleep but thank you."

"Stefan please talk to me."

"I'm trying to stay calm about this, Bonnie, but all I can think about is him kissing you and I just want to punch that kid in the face. I knew he was up to no good and believe it or not a part of me wished I was wrong about him, but him doing that it's like he doesn't respect me or you and for him to have the nerve to come over here… Bonnie," he dropped his sentence.

"I know, Stefan,"

"And I'm going to do the Christian thing by turning the other cheek and it's hard, but I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to go to bed."

"And I'll go with you."

He nodded and I grabbed his hand and joined him on the bed still in his shirt and wrap my arms around him.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I smile and kiss him and I'm glad when he kisses me back. We pull away and I rest our foreheads together then decide to kiss him again before closing my eyes.
