*Elena's POV
"Seriously how predictable can you be?!" I yell at him.
"Me predictable? You're the one that's all over Mr. Perfect with the accent in two seconds flat," he yells back.
"I wasn't about to bang him right in front of you," I yell back.
"Oh please you were one whisper away from ripping his faux armani button down off," he yells back.
"How'd you have time to notice when you were too busy undressing her with your eyes after every hair twirl?" I yell back.
"You actually are clueless aren't you?" He retorts turning to leave but I grab his arm and spin him back around. He looks at my hand that is still on his arm then back to me and back to ,my hand. Then his lips attack mine and I'm pinned up against the counter. I hop up onto it and pull him closer by his shirt collar. He pulls back shaking his head.
"I uh have to go to the lake," he says avoiding eye contact and rushing out of the house. What is up with him?
*Care's POV
"Then he just left," Elena says as we're in the car headed up to the lake.
"Why are you so upset about that? Weren't you all excited Elijah was back?" Lexi pipes in from the back seat. Against my better judgement I had decided I would need Lexi's help to get Stefan refocused and less jealous. She would've been more helpful had Stefan not called her and told her everything. Curse their friendship.
"That's not the point Lex," I say shooting her a glare in the rearview mirror. "The point is they're both jealous right now which indicates some sort of feelings."
"Or Stefan just hates Elijah after he humped and dumped Elena and Elena is just being stupid," Lex snaps snarkily back.
"Or Stefan was too busy flirting with his new toy and returned to his old games," I say back mimicking her tone.
"Guys," Elena snaps, "stop."
"Sorry," Lexi and I mumble.
"Obviously Stefan just needs to blow off some steam it's been a pretty terrible couple of days for him. Obviously I would rather he didn't blow off steam with Malibu Barbie but we're not it a relationship so he can screw whoever he wants," she says playing with the ends of her hair. I've known her long enough to know that when she does this she's putting puzzle pieces together in her mind.
"Are you trying to imply that you have feelings for my best friend?" Lexi asks after noticing what I noticed. She's always so blunt.
"I think I might," Elena answers turning to us. "But with Elijah I knew like one hundred percent and Stefan always has me second guessing myself."
"Well it's probably just the accent," I say tossing my hair over my shoulder as we pull up next to Stefan's porsche and park.
*Klaus's POV
Stefan and I were up at the cliff with Kensi and Ava when we saw Care's car pull in followed by Tyler's. They all get out and head towards us. I look over at Stefan who is being dragged to the edge of the cliff by Kensi.
"Hey they about to jump?" Lexi says as she comes up to us first.
"Actually we're trying to convince Stefan to flip," I say raising my eyebrows at her.
"I'll do you one better bro," he calls over to us as Elena, Care, Tyler, and Elijah come up. "I'll triple back flip."
"Yay," Kensi shouts jumping up and down excitedly clapping her hands. Stefan winks at her.
"He's totally going to kill himself," Elena says to Care just as he propels himself back. Kensi scans her phone down as the rest of us watch him flip once, twice, and a third time before he enters the water like a knife.
"Obviously you forgot about his diving skills," Kensi says giving Elena a bitch glare followed by a sweet smile as Stefan joins us back up on the cliff. He comes over and stands next to me.
"Who's next?" he asks smiling his cocky smile that has gotten us into countless messes.
"I'll go," we both turn to see Ava walk up from the opposite direction of everyone else. She pulls off her t-shirt and shorts flirtily before going over to the edge.
"Think you can top my performance?" Stefan asks with a slight shakiness to his usual confident tone.
"I guess you'll have to find out," she says her eyes never leaving mine. She flips off the top he blonde hair floating after her. She takes her top off and throws it at me before she goes into her three flips and enters the water graciously.
"I'm next,"I say shoving the top into Stefan's arms before diving off after her. God I love the lake.
