A/N I am so sorry this took so long I was camping and didn't have any service. But I'm back now so here y'all go.
*Care' POV
I was sitting in my living room when my doorbell rings. I sigh not wanting to really talk to anyone. I just wanted to sit and rewatch The Hills but I go and answer it..
"So I brought ice cream and I figured you'd b watching The Hills so I grabbed some wine from Aunt Jenna," Elena says presenting me with cookie dough ice cream and a bag with two bottles of wine. I laugh and move so she can get in.
"I take it you saw my facebook," I say going to the kitchen to grab two spoons.
"Yes but also I know you better than anyone else," she calls. I smile and walk back into the living room.
"Is it bad I'm not even sad about it?" I ask settling into the couch next to her.
"No he was the one who messed up. He should feel bad," She says handing me a glass of wine. "Now where do we want to start? I know you hate when Lauren dates that ass hole and misses out on Paris. How about we do when she and Brody are having their thing?"
I smile and nod at how well she knows me. We watch a whole season of the hills when Lexi texts Elena that her and Stefan and Klaus are coming with chinese food. They arrive half way through the episode we just started so Elena goes and answers thedoor.
"Okay Forbes I brought something better than wine," Stefan says hopping over the back of the couch to be next to me. He looks over his shoulder to see Klaus and Elena talking while Lexi is in the kitchen getting napkins. He looks back at me and lowers his voice. "I love that girl but she has no clue on what alcohol you need when you have a broken heart."
"Please tell me it's tequila?" I say turning my body towards his excitedly.
"Only if you tell everyone I'm your favorite person ever," he says holding the bottle up in front of me. I snatch the bottle from him and run out of the room. He's a foot behind me the entire way. I turn to head upstairs when a rough but gentle pair of hands tug me back to the door by my waist.
"Geez Care what is with you two and fighting over the tequila?" his warm british accent comes.
Stefan grabs the bottle.
"I have the answer to that," Stefan says passing the bottle to Lexi and wrapping his arm around Elena. "Eighth Grade Picnic."
"Oh God Please just stop there," I say covering my face in embarrassment.
"Mate, you gotta tell me," Klaus says eagerly. I didn't realize I was so close to him until I could feel his breath on my neck.
"I think just mentioning it embarrassed Care enough," Elena says leading us back into the living room.
"I don't see why she is so embarrassed I think Stefan made the bigger fool of himself," Lexi says passing us each our food.
Not gonna lie this is exactly what I needed tonight. I needed to get a little drunk with my closest friends and to eat delicious food and relive some of our best stories.
**Later that Night at the Boarding House
*Elena's POV
"So you're withholding sex?" I ask half intoxicated sitting up in Stefan's bed.
"Not withholding more like postponing," he says flopping down next to me.
"Why?" I ask turning to him and laying my head on his chest. He instantly starts playing with the ends of my hair.
"For one Mr. Mystic is that is our first official date. Then I have to get plenty of rest for the game on Saturday because the scout for Notre Dame is going to be there and I have to bring my A game. Plus I'm ninety-five percent sure Jake is about to burst in through that door any second," he says before giving me a quick kiss to the forehead.
"That's a lot of reasons," I say causing him to nod. " But I have a really good reason for why we should."
"Oh yeah?" he asks lifting his head slightly to look at me.
"You'll be extra focused on the game," I say pushing myself up and leaning on my side to be face to face with him. "Think about it. You're gonna be on the field about to throw a pass to Klaus but then you see me in my skimpy cheer uniform and then you get that lust filled look in your eyes and go off to Stefan Land and BOOM you get tackled and fumble the ball causing us to lose the game. I'm not saying I wouldnt sleep with you after that but you know it's kind of hard to be with someone the whole town will be disappointed in."
He shakes his head at me and smiles.
"Thats very creative and thoughtful of you. However, slight problem with your theory," he says pinning me against his bed. "I never get distracted during a game. Ask Lexi she tried all of Freshman year to distract me during a game. Sorry Darlin I'm not Donavan." he gives me a quick peck and lays back down. I'm about to protest when Jake walks in.
"Stef, I had a bad dream," he says and Stefan nods getting out of bed.
"Alright little man lets go talk about it in your room so Lena can get some sleep," he scoops Jake up in his arms and turns out the light. I quickly fall asleep.
*The Next Day
*Lexi's POV
We're all backstage Care and I dealing with a very chill Stefan today. Poor Elena is dealing with Klaus who refuses to cooperate.
"Why are you so relaxed?" Care asks eyeing Stefan for any signs of intoxication. I already did that the second he came to pick me up this morning.
"Lets just say Klaus isn't going to be very happy tomorrow," he says running a hand through his hair so his spike is perfect. He spins on his heel and smirks at Klaus who has finally put his clothes on. Klaus shoots him a glare in the mirror then turns smirking.
"Hey Lena does Stefan's hair look crooked?" Klaus asks watching as Stefan's face temporarily is overcome with panic.
"Stef you're up," Kensi says bouncing past him. "Klaus you have 60 seconds."
Stefan walks over to the stage and turns quickly.
"Bro, you better pick an arm," he says smirking and then smoothly walks onto stage. Care's face lights up with joy as the crowd instantly starts cheering.
*Care's POV
We're getting ready for the swimwear section and I can feel Klaus and Tyler watching me. I know Stefan has basically read my mind when he comes over to me.
"Damn if you weren't in front of me this would be awkward," he jokes. "No one's suppose to know about Klaus and I."
"Oh shut up Salvatore," I say turning him to the stage. "Now quickly before Malibu Barbie struts by and Elena stabs her get your ass on stage." I slap his ass and he shakes his head before going out onto stage.
"You know if you were a different blonde I would kill you," Elena jokes as she comes up behind me and rests her chin on my shoulder. I laugh and we stand there and watch as Stefan breezes through the question and answers these idiots decided to do during the swimwear section.
*Elena's POV
All the coaches are asked to sit in the first row during the talent portion but this year Lexi practically drags us out into the crowd. Stefan and Klaus are first so the set up takes a couple minutes.
"What are you guys up to?" Care asks Lexi. She's giving her a skeptical look and Lexi just shakes her head and nods towards the stage as the lights begin to dim. Suddenly there's a spotlite on Stefan who is on a suspended surf board playing guitar.
I wish this bed was an island We could stay here inside until the sun went down We'd turn these blankets to hammocks And we'd be hand in hand until the stars came out his voice rings out sweetly and his eyes twinkle as he spots me in the crowd. Care squeals and smiles hugely at Lexi. Her excitement over Stefan and I is interrupted as Klaus comes on Stage, which is set up as this really cool beach, in a kids' jeep. There are girls in bikins dancing around him as he gets out rapping.
We escaped from the city lights Only glow is the moon from the high tide Say goodbye to the traffic on the freeway Every single day we could play in the sea-waves We can even pick new names We can hide from the search planes I'd be out surfing, you'd be out shirtless Everything's perfect. Attention is back to Stefan as his surfboard swings out over the crowd. Don't have a care in the world (I don't got a care in the world) You got me all to yourself now girl We've got no reason to leave (We don't got a reason to leave) Cuz all I need is you and me I wish this bed was an island Cuz nobody could find us, we'd be on our own We'd stare out at the horizon As we sit by the fire singing all night long. He's just above me when it swings back and Lexi laughs at how excited I had been. It's about to go back to Klaus when Stefan tosses his guitar to someone backstage and flips off his board. Klaus shakes his head at Stefan as he pounds him and begins his verse. Yea, Me Tarzan, you Jane Lay under the palm trees to get shade Damn, you got a perfect tan People on the mainland wouldn't understand What it's like dipping toes in the white sand What it's like every night going caveman No tan lines, just you and I Sipping coconuts like it's, like it's white wine. Stefan takes over again Don't have a care in the world (I don't got a care in the world) You got me all to yourself now girl We've got no reason to leave (We don't got a reason to leave) Cuz all I need is you and me (You and me, yeah). His guitar is tossed to him while he's singing and after his verse he does a guitar solo and Klaus throws beach balls into the crowd. The lights dim and Stefan hops off the stage and sits in a stool that had just been put in front of me. He lightly strums and is looking directly into my eyes. I wish this bed was an island We could stay here inside until the sun went down We'd send our message in bottles, cuz nobody could call us We'd be lost and found. Klaus throws a beach ball at his head and Stefan winks at me before he hops back on stage and they finish up the song together. I'ma take, take, take ya there I'ma take, take, take ya there We'll be lost and found, yea I'ma take, take, take ya there
I'ma take, take, take ya there 'Til the stars come out, yea I'ma take, take, take ya there
I'ma take, take, take ya there 'Til the stars come out, yeah I'ma take, take, take ya there I'ma take, take, take ya there. When they finish the lights go out and the boys disappear.
"Wait does this mean the let us win Karaoke?" Care asks her mouth slightly opened in shock.
"When did Stefan learn to play guitar?" I ask my face most likely mirroring Care's.
*Stefan's POV
"And this year's Mr. Mystic is…," Kensi says proudly into the microphone pausing for effect. "STEFAN SALVATORE!" Klaus slaps my back in congratulations and Care squeals doing a happy dance in the front row. As Kensi is putting my sash and crown on she slips something into my pocket and I notice the move did not go unnoticed by Elena. Shit this better not ruin the date Bonnie and I planned. After the show is over and Care is done taking pictures for the yearbook I run to where I told Elena to wait for me. She isn't there so I grab my phone to call her.
"You were actually worried I'd ditch our first date?" she asks grabbing my phone while walking in front of me. I'm about to say something when I notice she changed into a black strapless shirt and a blue one of those high low skirt things. I get lost in her long legs.
"Earth to Stefan Bonnie said I'd love this," she says waving her hands in front of me.
"Well Bonnie didn't mention that you'd like a supermodel," I say pulling her close to me and giving her a quick kiss. "Now before I get totally off track lets get to dinner."
*Elena's POV
I've been blindfolded for the entire car ride. Yeah, I love this guy but he knows I hate surprises. The car stops and he opens my door. He helps me out of the car and takes the blindfold off.
"So obviously the song was about the beach and all that," he says nervously. "Bonnie said I should do a beach picnic. But yeah the closest beach is 4 hours away and I have my game tomorrow so I brought the beach to you." We were standing by the lake it was set up as a beach. He leads me under a fake palm tree to a picnic blanket. I have a feeling tonight is going to be perfect.
A/N Hope you guys liked it and are enjoying your summer. Thank you for the reviews and everything. :)
