They were all at the airport sitting at their gate waiting for their plane to started boarding. There was nothing to do and Damon kept reminding everyone that by complaining every second. Katherine kissed him a couple times to shut him up but that didn't help.
All the couples in the group were sitting next to each other than and Matt complained about that. "I hate being the only single one," He complained, slumping in his seat.
"That's your fault, Matty-boy," Stefan said stretching an arm around Elena.
Matt rolled his eyes and looked away and then he saw a girl. She was gorgeous and he had to meet her so right then he was going to show his friends that he can get someone and possibly end up not being so single. "Hello," He said getting up in front of her as she walked by. A guy showed up behind her that was much, much, much bigger than Matt and fear showed in Matt's eyes right away. "Goodbye," He said sitting back down quickly, letting them pass by the rest of them.
"Yeah, good job Matt." Katherine said patting his shoulder. Matt shrugged her hand off frustrated and slumped back in his chair until their plane was called for boarding.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Elena and Stefan sat in a comfortable silence since they got on the plane. Elena had her nook so that she could read and Stefan had his phone. Stefan leaned into Elena's ear to whisper something in it. "You think we could sneak in the bathroom? I'm pretty sure Katherine and Damon already have done it in the coach one so we could use the first class." He said making her laugh.
She shook her head at him and looked at him. "No, not on the plane with a bunch of other people. Including children," She sighed.
"Fine," He finished while sitting back in his seat upset. Elena looked around before taking pity on him and leaning in to whisper something back in his ear.
"I'll settle for a touchy make-out session under the blanket. If," She said holding her finger up. "No one is looking," She said. Stefan had a wide smile on his face and his head whipped around. No one was paying attention and it was only them in a two seat next to the window so now one would really see them anyway.
He threw the blanket over their heads with Elena giggling softly. The next hour of the flight they spent making out under the blanket with some touching like Elena proposed. After that, Elena settled her head on his shoulder and started reading some more while Stefan closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep for the rest of the time. Until Matt was next to Stefan in the isle leaning down so he could talk to both of them. "Hey guys, what's up?" He asked them.
Stefan opened one eye and looked down at Matt. "What?" He asked annoyed.
Matt turned his head around, looking around for someone it seemed. "I saw a really cute flight attendant. What should I say? Should I say anything?" He asked quickly.
Elena rolled her eyes and picked her head up off Stefan's shoulder so she could talk to Matt properly. "Ask for a drink. Make small talk. Don't do anything too big because whenever you're too forward it doesn't end up very well." She told him. Stefan laughed at his girlfriend's comment and looked at Matt.
"Whatever," Matt said getting back up and sitting in the seat right in front of Stefan. Elena moved over to Stefan again and started reading. Stefan closed his eyes searching for sleep again before they land in Punta Cana.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
They had finally landed and got off the plane only to be met by humid airport air. "I finally got off that stuffy plane only to go in a stuffy room. What the hell?" Katherine complained.
"Yeah, yeah sucks. Come on I have to pee," Elena said grabbing Katherine's arm and dragging her towards wherever she thought the bathroom might be.
Caroline turned to the rest of the boys. "I guess we are waiting for them," She said laughing a little. "Actually, I need to get my bags so they don't loose them. Tyler." She said and started walking towards the baggage claim.
"I'm going to need a little help with all her bags so any of you want to help a friend out?" He asked all three of the boys. They all looked at Matt who was looking around oblivious to what's happening. "Matty," Tyler said grabbing his attention. "Come on, we're going to get bags." He said with Matt following along.
Damon and Stefan were silent as they walked to wait for Katherine and Elena. "So, how are you and Elena?" Damon asked breaking the ice.
Stefan looked at Damon surprised for a second that he asked him that. "Everything's great. Really great." Stefan nodded. "You and Kat?" He asked.
"Good." Damon nodded. "Aw, brother," Damon sighed. Stefan looked at him. "How did we get those two?" He asked with a small chuckle.
Stefan shrugged and laughed. "I've had my girl for a while. Just didn't notice it." He said the last part more quietly as he saw Elena and Katherine exit the bathroom laughing out loud.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
They all finally got their bags and made sure no one left anything on the plane or at the airport and got to the hotel. They needed two cars, one for the bags and then the other for them with a few bags of Caroline's in it. Elena and Katherine both packed heavily but Caroline, she just went over the top. Elena and Stefan were obviously sharing a room and it was their first vacation together as a couple. Elena was a little nervous because she didn't know what was going to happen or what could happen.
As Elena dropped one of her bags at the bed and Stefan stumbled into the room with the rest of the bags, she looked around satisfied with the hotel room. "Stefan," She said turning to face him. He had put the bags down already and moved towards her to put his hands on her waist and she put her arms around his neck. "Our first vacation together," She said.
He nodded. "Want to start it off right?" He asked with a smirk. Elena smiled back at him with a slight nod. "Yeah?" He asked. Elena nodded more as Stefan picked her up and brought her over to the bed. "Well let's get started then," He said putting her on the bed as she giggled loudly.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Elena was lying besides Stefan after their good start to their first vacation together and was trying to decide whether or not to drag Stefan out of bed so they could go look around or just stay there in the warmness he surrounds her with. It was a hard decision. Elena wanted to look around the hotel and resort but she also was so comfortable that she didn't have the strength to sit up and get out of bed. She decided to drag herself and Stefan out of bed to go look around. "Come on," She said getting up and putting her clothes on.
"Fine," He sighed getting up as well. They both got dressed for their dinner tonight with everyone else so when they were done with their walk they could go straight there. Elena slipped her phone out of her pocket and opened it. Stefan watched and saw that she had opened the camera and he quickly started shaking his head. "No. No selfie. No." He protested moving away from Elena.
She pouted at him. "Why not? Why can't I show off my hot boyfriend to the world?" She complained. She was going to post it on any social media she had which was a few things.
"You can, but by full pictures. No selfie," He shook his head no. Elena nodded and he shook his head. They went like this for a while before Elena just kissed him. She quickly held her phone out and took a picture of them kissing and then broke off of him. "What?" He asked at her sudden move away from him.
"I got it," She said holding up her phone to show him the picture after she looked at it herself. He smiled and shook his head at his sneaky girlfriend. "This is good though," She said pointing to her phone. He rolled his eyes and started walking towards the restaurant with Elena looking at her phone to edit the picture some way behind him. She started walking and soon started jogging as much as she could in her heels to catch up to him. "My new screen saver by the way," She told him while walking next to him.
"Okay," He laughed while turning a corner to go into the restaurant. They saw Matt at a table by himself with six other chairs. They walked over sitting in two empty chairs across from him. "See anyone you want to embarrass yourself in front of yet?" Stefan asked sitting.
Elena laughed and sat down next to him but right across from Matt. "No," He said to them. "Where is everyone? Can't we get this dinner over with?" He asked frustrated.
"What's your problem?" Elena asked him. He wasn't the fun bubbly Matt Donavan right then. He was the other Matt Donavan that seemed like he was on his period.
He looked over at her. "I know you guys think it's funny that I can't get a girl, but I'm getting really frustrated with myself. I want a girlfriend. I want someone that I could be with anytime I want." He sighed, sitting back in his chair. "I'm twenty-three-years-old and I still never had a real girlfriend."
Elena could tell Matt was really frustrated and upset. "Matt," She said softly getting his attention. "I promise, when the time is right, you will find that girl," She told him. "And you will be very happy," She assured. Matt just nodded and looked at the menu in front of him and stopped talking.
Soon after that, everyone started to show up. It was an awkward silence from when Elena talked to Matt to now when everyone showed up so it was a relief they did. "Hey guys," Katherine said taking a seat next to Stefan. "What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing. Just waiting patiently for you guys to show up so we didn't starve to death," He said not looking away from the menu. Katherine rolled her eyes and said hi to Elena doing the same thing.
Elena was looking at the menu when her phone started ringing and buzzing in her back pocket. She reached in and looked at it and then apologetically at everyone else. "It's work. I'll be right back." She said, excusing herself from the table. She got up and moved away answering the call.
Stefan lingered his look on her and then turned around to the table. "What?" He asked.
Katherine shook her head. "You know, I'm surprised it was her before you," She told him.
"What are you talking about?" He asked her.
She shrugged. "I would expect you to be the one to get the call from work first," She told him. Stefan rolled his eyes at her and she just sat back. Soon after Elena walked back and sat down in the cushion chair.
"Sorry," She apologized at everyone. "What do you think is good?" She asked Stefan while everyone else was talking.
"You," He smirked. Elena rolled her eyes and looked at Stefan seriously. "I'm serious," He said.
Elena looked at him again. "So am I, I really want to know what looks good here," She said laughing. They picked out what they wanted and then went in their own little bubble and isolated themselves from everyone else for a little until they started eating. "Are we going to the beach tomorrow?" She asked while putting some of her fish on her fork.
"I was hoping," Caroline said. "I'm getting whiter than I already am. And that's saying a lot," She told everyone laughing. "Plus, I want to be tan for the wedding," She shrugged.
"You guys picked a date?" Elena asked excitedly. Caroline looked at Tyler before nodding. "Oh my god, when?" She asked even more excited.
"July 24," Tyler told everyone. Katherine and Elena exclaimed loudly.
Caroline was smiling widely. "You know it's already the end of May and that gives us a month or so to get everything ready. When we get back I'm making the RSVP's to send out," She said before Elena cut her off.
"Does this mean I get to start designing the dresses?" Elena asked very excitedly now. Caroline nodded and laughed. "Oh my god! I've had an idea in my head for so long!" She exclaimed.
Caroline smiled at her. "Good. I'm excited to see it," She told Elena. Elena smiled and looked at Stefan.
"Hey Damon?" Elena asked leaning over the table to look at him. He looked at her. "Do you like selfie's?" She asked randomly.
"Seriously? You're asking him that," Stefan interrupted and Elena held up her hand so she could listen to Damon's answer.
He shrugged. "I don't know. Kat makes me take them a few times. I don't mind but they're not my favorite." He told her. Elena looked at Stefan.
"He doesn't mind them. He does them for his girlfriend." She said pretending to be angry.
Stefan's eyes widened. "Okay, it was just today. We can take them from now on whenever you want." He told her. "Even though, they aren't my favorite either." He said in almost a whisper. Elena smiled happily and went back to eating.
"You guys took one? Let me see," Katherine cut in. Elena slid her phone over to Katherine and she pressed the button on the bottom to see the screen turn on. It was Elena's screensaver now so anyone could see it when they turned on her phone. "Aww," She swooned. Elena's other hand that wasn't holding the phone to take the picture was on his cheek and you could clearly tell Stefan's arms were around her waist holding her tightly against him.
"Let me see," Caroline said reaching over the table to get the phone from Katherine. "Wow, that's the perfect kissing picture!" She exclaimed. "Tyler refuses to do those," She complained as she gave the phone back to Elena.
"So does Stefan," Elena told her. "I snuck it in," She said with a sly grin. Caroline giggled at Elena and Stefan. Elena smiled at Stefan who was trying to hide his smile.
