*Klaus's POV
We start into a conversation about the weird casserol Mrs. Johnson brought when I see Care come in trough the door. I don't know why but every time that girl walks into the room I lose my train of thought. I've tried distracting myself in every possible manner whenever she was around but I see her in every girl I use to distract myself with. I wonder if Stefan ever went through this.
"Bro, the lady said hi to you like twelve times," Stefan says nudging me with his shoulder.
"Right I was um… never mind Hey Care," I say shifting in my seat as Stefan gives me a skeptical glance.
"Hi Klaus," she says giggling and it's music to my ears. Damn it pull yourself together she's with Tyler. Tyler is your friend Care is nothing but a friend.
"So um yeah I'm almost positive your grandma and the mayor are trashed," she says sitting down in the stool next to me.
"Yeah? That's better than casserole talk I'm gonna go watch. I bet you $20 she's dancing on a table," Stefan says getting up and raising his eyebrow at Lexi.
"Dancing on things is a Salvatore trait I wouldn't be surprised," Lexi retorts. Stefan and Lexi walk to the swinging door.
"We should probably go and be the responsible ones. God knows Lexi and Stef will just join in on the fun," Elena says to Kol as they get up and follow Stefan and Lexi into the living room.
"Where's ?" I ask after we sat in silence for a couple minutes that felt like hours.
"Oh um around here somewhere. Not too positive. Where's Ava?" she replies nonchalantly.
I play with the coaster in front of me and avoid looking at her.
"Don't know don't really care either," I reply.
"I thought you two were a thing," she says and I can feel her eyes on me but I don't meet them. I never look into her eyes knowing that I get lost in that blue the shade of the sky on the first day of spring.
"We just hook up every once in awhile. Unlike Stefan I don't have an Elena," I say.
"I bet your Elena is around here somewhere," she says I can imagine the smile forming and the twinkle in her eyes as she remembers she was right about Stefan and Elena. Ugh snap out of it.
"Well we should go join everybody else. I bet we're missing a dance battle between the Mayor and Gram Salvatore or something," I say standing with her following suit and we walk to the door. I hold it open for her and she locks eyes with me. Shit here I go getting lost deeper in those eyes.
*Elena's POV
Stefan and I are standing watching his Grandma and the mayor as they sit and tell jokes on the couch. Half their jokes don't make an sense and the other half are left uncompleted.
"Hey Stefan," Gram yells turning around to face us. "Knock, Knock." He smirks and rolls his eyes. It's so hot when he gets that smirk.
"It' open," he says back. Gram's smile slowly fades and she turns back around and crosses her arms.
"You may be my favorite but right now we're not friends," she says over her shoulder.
He turns to me with a fake sad look on his face. "Well this is how I always imagined Gram would end our friendship." I wrap my arms around his neck and his hands land on my waist.
"Well you have me now so you don't need her," I joke back.
"True plus I can't do this with her," he says before capturing my lips quickly.
"Yeah that'd be weird," I say before giving him a peck on the lips again.
"Speaking of weird look at Klaus and Care right now," he says nodding his head in the direction behind me. I glance over my shoulder and see Klaus and Care just standing by the kitchen door staring into each other's eyes. Then Tyler walks into the kitchen scooping Care up from behind and Klaus looks at the floor as he exits the kitchen. I turn back to face Stefan.
"Yeah um that was weird," I say.
"What's weird?" Klaus says as he joins us.
"Oh nothing," Stef says. "I'm actually gonna take this little lady to go check on Willow again. Could you watch the drunks?"
"Sure thing," he answers and goes to sit on the couch.
"We're not going to check on the horse are we?" I ask raising my eyebrow at him.
"God no. You in that skirt is driving me insane," he says giving me a kiss before he grabs my hand and pulls me out the front door.
"Then where are we going?" I ask as he drags me to another path I didn't even know existed.
"Do you trust me?" he asks stopping and turning to me.
"Most of the time," I joke. He smiles at me and gives me a quick kiss.
"Right now better be on of those times," he says. "Here I'll give you a piggy back ride it's kind of muddy up here."
I roll my eyes as I hop onto his back and he starts down the path. Ten minutes later we enter a clearing and I look round expecting a building or something but there's nothing. He laughs as he sets me down.
"Gilbert it's been 14 years how can you not remember this place?" he asks.
"It's a field how is this memorable?" I counter.
"Ah babe you didn't look very well," he says walking over to a tree and tapping the wooden rungs on the tree. I look up and see the giant tree house and get this goofy smile on my face.
"I pushed you out that window," I say laughing.
"Yeah let's not do that again," he says pulling me into his arms and giving my a deep kiss.
We climb up and he instantly pins me and starts kissing down my neck.
"Quick question," he says hovering his lips over mine. "Do you want to go to dinner Friday night? With me obviously."
"Yes but less talking," I say kissing him and flipping him over kissing down his neck.
"I'm just saying we're kind of a thing right? And we haven't been on a date but we spend a hell of a lot of time together," he says. I sigh and stop kissing his neck and sit up straddling his lap. I nod as he continues to ramble and begin unbuttoning his shirt.
"Lexi and Care suggested a carnival but I hate clowns so I'd rather not. What about a picnic? Too cheesy right? We could just go to the Grill but that's so predictable," he continues.
I put my finger on his lips after I shove his shirt off. "Stefan Antonio Salvatore shhh."
He smirks at me. He kisses me and flips us back over. "As you wish Elena Marie Gilbert."
