You Know Nothing About Me

"Thank you." he said, laying his hand over hers.

"You're welcome." she said quietly, laying her other hand over his and putting her head against his shoulder.

He had finally come back to Mystic Falls and he was here, right next to her. She couldn't believe it. She didn't let go of his hand and neither did he. She clung to him like she was afraid he would disappear again if she ever let go. They didn't talk for a while, until he was the one to finally break the silence.

"When I saw Damon in that cellar this morning, I was ready to kill him, but he made me remember that he was more powerful than I was." he said in a quiet voice. "Even if he's the greatest ass in the world, not all vampires are like him. And definitely you, are not like him. You helped me, even though you could have been killed. You and I, we have something. But I'm not sure if I can trust other vampires."

She pulled her head back and looked at him, but didn't let go of his hand.

"Of course you don't trust us! We are meant to be enemies, Tyler and it has been like that for a thousand years! There will come a time you'll have to choose your side. And it all began with the guy who cursed us. If the vampires break the curse first, the werewolves will be stuck with theirs forever and vice versa. If the werewolves are the first to break the curse, they would be able to shift whenever they want. Do you see what I mean?"

"But I don't want that. If I can change at will and someone is in the way when I experience a burst of anger, that person could die. I'm not a murderer, I couldn't live knowing that I killed innocent people!"

"I know. Believe me, I know. But you have to understand that there are some persons – and really bad ones – out there who are willing to do whatever it takes to break that curse. Even if that means the death of many people. Including us."

They were silent again. Neither of them wanting to continue discussing that topic. But it didn't change the fact that she was right. She spoke up, looking at him.

"I'm sorry I lied to you." she apologized.

"You already said it." he reminded her.

"I know but I'm still sorry." she repeated.

He didn't reply this time, his eyes were on her, burning with intensity as he cupped her cheek with his other hand. She shuddered under his intense gaze. He leaned in and paused, his face only inches apart from hers, his lips hovering above hers. She could feel his breath on her skin. He didn't kiss her, instead he waited and she knew he was asking permission. She knew why: last time he had tried to kiss her, she had shoved him away. But this time, she wanted to kiss him and she wanted him to kiss her.

"What are you waiting for?" she whispered lightly.

There was no need to tell him twice. He dipped his head further and placed a gentle kiss on her lips that melted her insides. She kissed him eagerly back, but too soon, he pulled away.

"As much as I want to stay here with you and continue this, I need to go. Home." he said, his thumb caressing her cheek.

"I know." she sighed, resigned. She laced her fingers through his and he gave her hand a tiny squeeze.

They got up from the couch and made their way to the front door, their hands still intertwined. There, before he could say anything, she let go of his hand and hugged him tightly again. He let out a chuckle and she pulled back, looking at him.

"You can let go, you know? I won't disappear the second you let me go." he said, still smiling. She lightly smacked him.

"Don't you dare make fun of me! You left! You left me and I didn't know where you were or if you were fine! You forbid me, to check on you! I wanted to so badly, but I didn't do it because I was afraid that if I did, it'd be worse! I was so worried, I thought about you every single day! So don't you dare laugh or crack jokes about that!" she said angrily. He cupped her cheeks with both his hands, his eyes boring into hers.

"I won't leave you again. I'll come back tomorrow. I promise." His eyes were intense as he gently laid a kiss on her forehead. "I promise." he whispered, looking back at her. He kissed her softly and walked out the door.

She shut the door behind him, resting her back against the wood. A smile toyed with her lips. Her hand flew to her lips, where his lips had kissed her. The smile never left her face, even when she went to bed a bit later. He was finally back. And that made her happy.

A/N: I'm sorry it took so long and I'm sorry it's so short! Sooo, this is the end, folks. I'm sad but I don't have any more ideas how to continue this story, I'm just not as talented as other authors on FF :p

But stay tuned, I'll post some goodies for you, you amazing people, later! Some things I wrote but didn't make the final cut :)

Please review :)

PS: OMG, can you believe it? The wait is almost over! A few days left (depends on where you live on the globe :p)! YAY!
