Tyler paced his living room with the ring box in his hand. He was dressed in casual polo shorts and a t-shirt not wanting to be too fancy. Caroline was going to be home soon from shopping with Katherine and that's when he was going to take her up to the roof. As he was a pacing he got a call and when he heard his phone ring he jumped a bit. "Hello," He snapped into the phone knowing it was Stefan.
"Hey, grumpy. What's your problem?" He asked over the phone.
Tyler sighed. "Sorry," He apologized. "Just a little on edge for tonight," He told Stefan.
"You're going to be fine, man. Stop worrying," Stefan assured him. "Do you have everything set up?" He asked.
Tyler nodded but then remembered Stefan can't see him. "Yeah," He answered. "Just waiting for Katherine to bring Caroline home." He said. He kept pacing as his heartbeat got faster. Tyler heard Elena's voice in the background calling for Stefan.
"Listen, Ty. I got to go, but call me when she's says yes." Stefan told him.
Tyler smiled. "Alright. Thanks again man. And have fun with Elena," He smirked.
Stefan smirked on the other line too. "Oh I will," He said and winked at Elena who was in her bra and panties waiting for Stefan.
"Gross," Tyler cringed. Right before Stefan hung up, he could hear Elena's loud giggle and cringed at the image that just played in his head of the two of them. The elevator door opening made him snap out of his thoughts.
"Ty?" He heard Caroline's voice call. He came into view of her as she dropped her bags by the table. "Hey," She said putting her hands on his face lightly and kissed him. "I'm starving. What's for dinner?" She asked as she moved to the kitchen.
Tyler quickly brought her back in front of him. "Let's go upstairs. I have a surprise for you," He told her. She smiled at him. "Let's go." He said and put her hand in his. He led her up to the roof where the stars were clearly seen.
Caroline noticed a small table set up with champagne in ice buckets on either side of the table and candles spread out around. "Oh wow," She gasped and tightened her grip on Tyler's hand. Tyler smiled and led her towards the table and pulled out her chair lightly for her. "Thank you," He moved over to his chair and sat down. "This is unexpected," She said.
Tyler shrugged. "Just feeling romantic," He said.
She raised an eyebrow at him and laughed. "What do you want?" She asked. Tyler shook his head smiling.
"Nothing. I promise." He said putting his hands up defensively. "Just wanted to do something for you,"
"Okay." Caroline said still not convinced that's all he wants to do. Tyler took out one of the champagne bottles and popped it open. He quickly poured it into each of their glasses and they cheered with one another.
"Now that I think about it," Tyler said after he took a sip. "There is something that I want tonight." With that, he slipped the ring box out of his pocket and stood up to get on one knee in front of Caroline. Her hands instantly flew to her mouth like all girls do when they are excited, or sad, or happy, or surprised. That's why Tyler didn't like it because he could never tell what she was feeling. "I want you to make me the happiest man on earth and do the honor of being my wife." He said looking up at her while opening the box.
Caroline closed her eyes tightly and started nodding slowly. "Yes," She said taking her hands off of her mouth. "Yes I will. Yes!" She exclaimed putting her left hand out for him to slip on the ring. He slipped it on and stood up with her and kissed her lips.
"You have no idea how happy I am that you said yes," Tyler admitted.
Caroline laughed. "You have no idea how happy I am you asked." She said with tears in her eyes. "I love you," She said.
"I love you too," He said kissing her again. And again. And again. And a million more kisses that night finally led to the bed where everything felt more magical then that night alone.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"How do you think it's going with Caroline and Tyler?" Elena asked with her head on Stefan's chest.
"I don't know." Stefan said. "Probably in bed sweating and getting hot and rough," He said into her head. She giggled cuddling more into him. "Like we could be right now,"
Elena hit his stomach. "We just went round 5. Slow down," She laughed.
"I can't. You're the one telling me to go faster and faster and harder and harder," He teased. Elena hit his stomach again and he laughed.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The two weeks after that have been amazing for every single one of them. Caroline was already picking out everything and anything for the wedding and they didn't even pick a date out yet. Elena and Stefan were very happy together even though they have only been really dating for a few weeks. And, they were STILL in the honeymoon phase, which got all of them pissed off when they would start making out anywhere.
All of them were planning a trip to Punta Cana in celebration of the engagement but Caroline said that is no reason for them not to have an engagement party and/or bachelor and bachelorette parties. Right now, Elena was at the car to go to the airport because she had to be in Seattle to check on one of her stores there and then on her way back she had to stop in Newark to check on one there. There were more except she couldn't get to all of them.
"Stefan, I have to go. I'll be back in two days. You'll be okay," She said with her back against the car door and Stefan standing in front of her.
"I know I just wish you didn't have to go," He said holding her hands in his.
She nodded. "I know." She sighed. "But just think. Once I get back, we'll be flying to Punta Cana where we have are own private hot tub and bedroom and if we're lucky. Our own cabana so we'll be on the beach, and I could do naughty things in one of my skimpy bikini's." She whispered in his ear while on her tippy-toes. "Or dread about me being gone and get nothing for the week and half we are there," She shrugged backing away a little. When she looked up at him his eyes were closed. "What are you doing?" She laughed.
"Just picturing in my mind what is going to happen in that cabana." He told her smiling. Elena laughed and reached up to kiss him one more time. Before Elena broke away from him they heard Katherine's voice calling Elena.
"I'm coming," She said lugging a carry on and a gigantic suitcase.
Stefan turned with his arms still around Elena and looked at Katherine. "What the hell do you have in that suitcase, Kat?" He asked surprised.
"Everything I need to keep this," She said pointing to her perfect curls. "From going like this." She said making a poof sound and making an explosion with her hands. She picked it up while bending her legs showing how heavy it is before Stefan took pity on her and easily put it in the back of the car. Katherine was going with Elena to keep her company and she just wanted to go.
Stefan opened the door for Elena. "Call me when you guys land," He said.
"Of course," She said and kissing him again before sliding all the way in for Katherine to get in too. Katherine slipped in behind Elena after getting her goodbye from Stefan who just gave a slight wave, which she didn't appreciate much. Stefan closed the door and the driver started driving to the airport.
"I'm happy for you guys," Katherine told Elena out of nowhere as they walked through the airport to their gate.
Elena smiled at her. "Thanks." Elena said.
Katherine hook her arm through Elena's as they kept walking. "I missed you, E." She said tightening her arms.
Elena smiled at her. "I've been here for like a month already," She noted.
"I know," Katherine nodded. "But I just wanted you to know that," She shrugged and they kept walking with their arms linked.
"Well, I missed you too," Elena told her. It was true, she really missed Elena even with what she said when they were fifteen of how she didn't want her ever to come back.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Finally, for Stefan, Elena was back. She didn't bother unpacking much because all she really took to Seattle with her was hair stuff and pajamas with an extra change of clothes that could be warn in Punta Cana but she need to pack the rest of her clothes. Stefan wasn't making that very easy though. "Come on, Lena." Stefan complained coming from behind her.
"Stefan, we leave tomorrow and I doubt you have anything packed," She exclaimed getting out of his reach. "I barely have anything packed." She said walking into her closet.
"All I need is a few bathing suits, shirts, stuff to sleep in and a tooth brush." He listed off. "Oh and pants." He reminded. "Unless we do what I want to do the whole time and I won't need any," He said walking into her closet too.
Elena couldn't help but smile at his smirk. "Well, you are going to need pants because it's not just the two of us," She said.
Stefan pointed at her. "Does that mean if it were just us two than I wouldn't need pants?" He asked.
She walked closer to him and pointed a finger on his chest. "Not even for the plane." She said winking and then walking out with the clothes in her hand. She left him standing there with his finger still pointed and not being able to move. He soon took his phone out of his pocket and started typing away. "What are you doing?" She laughed.
"Texting everyone saying flights cancelled and there is no way to get there anymore," He said still typing. She rushed over to him and took the phone out of his hand. "Hey," He said loudly.
She put the phone behind her back and looked at him. "I'm not letting you do that. That's rude and selfish," She said putting his phone in the pillowcase of one of the pillows on her bed.
He cocked his head to the right. "Give me my phone back." He said with his hand out. She shook her head smiling while putting a bathing suit in the suitcase. "What the hell is this?" He asked taking it back out. He obviously forgot about his phone for that second. He held it up in his hands showing it to her.
"It's a bathing suit bottom." She said with a 'duh' look on her face and moved her hand to take it back. He moved it out of the way. "Stefan, give it." She said holding her hand out like Stefan did for his phone but she put her hand on her hip.
He shook his head. "This is not a bathing suit bottom. This doesn't even look like it will cover your bottom," He exclaimed.
"Well it does," She said reaching for it again. He moved it out of the way shaking his head. "I need to put it in my bag," She complained but he just shook his head. Elena moved closer to get it but he put it above his head. She reached up to get it but he moved it down with his quick reflexes. She tried again but he put it behind his back and she put her arms around his waist to get it but he moved his arms around her waist trapping her and kissing her. He pushed her back to the bed laying her down on it softly.
"Now I know why you didn't answer me when I texted you to see if you were done packing," They heard from the door. Caroline was standing there with a hand on her hip and looking at both of them in disgust. "You barely started." She complained.
"It was his fault." Elena said pointing her finger at Stefan next to her since they got up when they heard Caroline's voice.
She shook her head at both of them. "I don't care. Stefan get out. You probably didn't even start." She said walking further in the room and stood in front of both of them.
"Busted," He said sarcastically. "Fine, I'll go." He said turning to Elena again. "Bye," He said softly. She grabbed his shirt and kissed him hard before letting go and watching him walk out.
Caroline shook her head at her as she started folding some of Elena's clothes to put in the suitcase. "What?" Elena asked doing the same.
"Nothing," Caroline said laughing. "I'm just glad you guys are finally happy together," She said looking over at Elena. Her smile hadn't left her face since Stefan got there that morning and it just grew wider when Caroline said that.
Red attacked Elena's cheeks as she looked down at the clothes on her bed as she nodded. "I am too," She said nodding and finally looking back up at Caroline who was smiling too.
