*Stefan's pov

Care and I had broken every single pillow in our room. We were laying on the floor laughing. Suddenly I when I turn to look at her I am taken back by her beauty. The way the sunlight hits her golden locks and her face is lit up with her laughter. I slowly stop laughing and just smile at her she notices the lack of my laughter and turns to face me.

"What?" She says a hint of concern in her voice.

"It's nothing," I say reaching over and brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, "It's just you look incredibly beautiful right now."

"Stef-" She begins to say but I cut her off. I place my hand on her cheek and instinctively I lean in our lips just inches apart.

"Care don't fight it," I say and she sighs and closes her eyes. We both lean in and our lips meet. It's a burst of electricity a feeling that I want to feel forever. Our kiss starts off slow and then turns into a more passionate, hungry kiss.

*Katherine's pov

I walk out of the bathroom having finished getting ready and I am startled by the state the room is now in. There are feathers everywhere and discarded broken pillows all over. I take a couple of careful steps and see Care and Stef making out on the floor by the beds.

"Well you guys are definitely cleaning this up," I say a teasing tone covering up the jealousy I feel inside.

Stefan and Caroline separate and jump up using their vamp speed.

Care clears her throat and smooths out her clothes. "Um I can clean up and you guys can uh go catch up," she says looking uncomfortably between us.

"Meaning I'll be carrying her bags while she compels a bunch of store clerks out of their most expensive things," Stef says nonchalantly acting as if nothing had been going on when I had come out here.

"Pretty much," I say grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the door.

"Dinner tonight. You and me, Care," he yells back to her before I close the hotel door.

We have been shopping for a couple hours and I was just coming out of the fitting room when Stefan shoves me back into the dressing room, covering my mouth, and closing the door.

"Shhh," he says removing his hand from my mouth, "Rebekah just walked in."

"What's she doing here?" I whisper turning to the mirror to fix my hair pretending that the news isn't that big of a deal.

"I don't know but I don't think she's going to be leaving anytime soon," he says, "there's also no way for us to sneak out of here."

"So we're stuck in a dressing room together for god knows how long with nothing to do," I say turning back to him an idea forming in my mind.

"I guess," he says his eye brows knotting together skeptically.

"We could make this more interesting," I say my fingers playing with the top button of his shirt.

"We could but," he says shoving my hand away from his body, "we won't."

"Why not Stefan? You can make out with Care but you can't have a little fun with me? Last I checked you were flirting with both of us and don't even try to deny that you loved it when I cuddled up to you this morning," I say my hand back on his button.

He stares at me a gleam of anger in his eyes. I can tell he's thinking that I'm manipulating him, using him the way I've used Damon and Elijah and Mason. I've never used him for my personal gain. I only compelled him to not be afraid of me was that such a terrible thing to do? Suddenly he shoves me up against the mirror our faces extremely close and I can smell his warm earthy sent.

"Katherine," he says my name slow and seductive moving his lips even closer to mine. His lips brush against mine as he continues, "I'm not going to screw up whatever is going on between Care and I by pulling a Damon and letting you wrap me around your little finger."

He stays in this position his eyes burning with determination when I spin us around so he's the one against the mirror.

"Stef," I say my lips brushing against his tormenting him the way he had tormented me, "I think Caroline would totally be on board for a threesome." I step back from him and peek my head out of the dressing room and see Rebekah's blonde hair wisp out of the door and down the sidewalk. I grab his hand and pull him out of the store seeing as he is semi paralyzed by my words. He doesn't really do anything until we are back in the hotel room and he sits on the bed. He sits quietly as Caroline chirps away about the news of Rebekah's arrival and all of the new Mystic Falls drama.

AN- Next chapter we'll see what Care has found out and we'll also see how what Katherine said to Stef will affect Steroline's "romantical" dinner. Love all you guys. If you have any suggestions I'm always willing to listen. Thanks for reading,
