When Stasia went inside after her date she leaned against the door and smiled. She really liked Kol, a lot more than she should.
"So I guess your date went well."
"Damon," she sighed. "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you," he said.
"About what?" she asked. "Maybe I don't even want to know." She said and walked away
"Ok I haven't been a very good friend lately," he said and she glanced up at him.
"Oh you think so," she snapped as she turned around. Damon let out a sigh, this usually worked with her, apologizing was all he usually had to do. He walked over and stopped when he was standing in front of her.
"About the ball…"
"Don't Damon," she told him. "You said all you needed to say then." She sighed "You will always love Elena, no one else will ever be good enough for you," she went on rolling her eyes. "And I'm ugly." She said quietly.
"What!" Damon exclaimed. "The first two I probably said but I would never call you ugly Stasia," he told her.
"Well you said I was sweet and considerate, a great dancer and fun but Elena is everything you want, she's so beautiful." She told him.
"And you took that to mean I thought you were ugly," he said.
"How was I supposed to take it?" she asked.
"Stasia you are beautiful and its obvious Kol thinks so," he told her.
"Yeah, he has said that several times," she smiled.
"Don't date Kol," Damon said.
"Damon I…"
"Maybe I was wrong? "
"In general or about something in particular?"
"About Elena being the only girl for me," he said.
"The only reason you want me is because I'm kind of taken," she told him. "If I wasn't with Kol you wouldn't want me." she went on.
"Stasia," he said
"And if I did not date Kol, you'd go back not wanting me." she told him.
"That's not true," he said as he walked over to her and stopped in front of her. "I do want you I just never realized it " he said and leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
When Damon kissed her Stasia was to shocked to do anything but after a few seconds she pushed him away.
"NO Damon,"
"Seriously?" he asked surprised, he was positive kissing her would work.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "If this had happened a few days ago I would probably have been happy but after telling me you would only want Elena no Damon. You just think you want me because of Elena ignoring you but you don't." she said and ran upstairs and closed her door as tears fell from her eyes. She had no idea why Damon would do that. She really did like Kol and she knew if she wasn't careful she could end up really falling for him and she didn't really know if he was the kind of guy that would stay around, she hoped he was. Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing, she walked over and grabbed it from her table and saw it was Kol calling.
Kol drove away after dropping Stasia off at home. He did actually like her, she was different than a lot of the other girls he had met. She didn't throw herself at him, like other girls, it was kind of refreshing but it made him work harder to get her to go out with him. Kol continued driving home his thoughts on Stasia when suddenly he had a feeling that he should call her so he picked his cell phone up from the passenger seat where he laid it after dropping her off and called her.
Stasia stood up and walked across the room to answer her phone. She looked at the screen and saw Kol was calling her so she took a deep breath and answered.
"Hello," she answered and Kol could tell she was upset.
"What's wrong darling?"
"I'm ok," she told him.
"You don't sound ok" he told her.
"Its not a big deal," she told him.
"I'm coming back," he told her.
"Kol..."
"No arguments darling," he said.
"Ok my window is by the big tree," she told him.
"Be there soon."
Stasia went to get her pajamas and get changed before Kol got back. She went to the bathroom and changed and washed her face and brushed her teeth before going back to her bedroom.
When she got in her bedroom she locked the door behind her and walked over to her bed just as she heard a knock on the window. She walked over and saw Kol in the tree outside. She opened the window.
"Hey," she said quietly. "If I invite you in you promise not to kill anyone in the house? "
"If thats what you want," he said and she nodded. "Ok then I promise not to kill anyone in the house."
"Well then please come in." she said and Kol jumped in the window and closed it behind him.
"What happened?" Kol asked.
"I don't know why I'm crying," she said.
"Come on princess," Kol said as he wiped her tears with his thumbs and took her hand in his. "Now tell me what happened."
"Damon.," she said and she heard him growl. "Doesn't want me to date you."
" And what did you tell him?" Kol asked.
"That I wasn't going to stop seeing you."
"He didn't like that," Kol sighed as he walked over and sat on her bed.
"He said he was wrong."
"In general or about something in particular?"Kol asked and she laughed.
"I asked him the same thing," she told him. "anyway he said he was wrong about Elena being the only girl for him, he has decided to be interested in me now."
"It's what guys do princess, they don't want something until another guy has it."
"So i don't remember what all was said but basically I told him I wasn't going to stop seeing you and that if I did stop seeing you he'd go back to not wanting me," she sighed. "So he said he wouldn't and that he did want me he just never realized it and he kissed me."
"HE KISSED YOU! " Kol yelled. "Did you like it?" he asked angrily.
"No Kol, I pushed him away." she told him as she walked over to her bed and stood in front of him.. "I don't want Damon anymore, not since I met you."
" Really?" he asked and she nodded. "Good!" Kol said "because I haven't even kissed you yet."
"That's not my fault," she said. "I thought maybe you didn't want to," she said quietly.
"That's not the problem," he said.
"Oh,"
"Anastasia," Kol said and she looked down at him . He grabbed her hips and pulled her to stand between his legs. Kol ran his thumb across her cheek and she leaned closer to him. Kol could hear her heartbeat speed up as he moved closer until he pressed his lips against hers. Stasia gasped it felt like a spark, like fire. Kol ran his hands across her back, over her butt, before grabbing the back of her thighs and lifting her so she was straddling his lap. Stasia pulled away to catch her breath as Kol placed kisses along her neck.
"Kol," she moaned and he picked her up and threw her down on the bed moving over her holding his weight off of her with his hands.. Kol leaned down and kissed her slowly moving his lips against hers as he ran his hands down her body. Stasia felt Kol's fingers under the hem of her shirt running across her stomach. Kol pushed her shirt up and pressed his lips to her stomach pushing her shirt up as he kissed up her body until he pulled it off and tossed it to the floor. He looked down at her before kissing her again, every time Kol kissed her it felt like fire running all through her body, it was like nothing she had ever felt before. She found her hands undoing the buttons on his shirt and pushing it off his shoulders. She ran her hands over his chest, feeling how smooth his skin was, she pulled away and she let her eyes travel across his chest. He was definitely perfect, she thought he was hiding toned abs under his shirt. Kol smirked when he saw how she was looking at him.
"See something you like?" he asked.
"Definitely," she answered and leaned up and kissed his lips. Kol pulled away and sat on the bed. Stasia let out a sigh and sat up beside him. Kol looked over at her. She was just in her bra and pajama bottoms, her hair was everywhere from him running his fingers through it, her eyes were wide and her lips were swollen from his kisses.
"Princess I…" he began and she looked over at him.
"It's ok Kol," she said as she stood up and walked over to get her shirt that she saw laying on the floor.
"What is?" he asked as she turned around and he looked at her. He could see scars on her stomach and one that ran down the length of her side. He wondered how she got them but he knew not to ask now.
"If you didn't like kissing me its ok," she said.
"Did it feel like I didn't like kissing you?" he asked as he stood up and walked over to her.
"No," she said quietly. "I've never felt anything like that from kissing someone," she told him.
"Ok then," he said. "Because I liked kissing you," he told her and she smiled and put her shirt on. Kol walked over and picked his shirt on and started buttoning it up.
"Now, I'll call you in the morning and see you tomorrow," he told her and she walked over to him.
"Ok" she said and Kol leaned down and touched his lips to hers and then he opened her window and jumped into the tree.
When Kol got back home his siblings were waiting for him, to discuss Stasia.
"I guess you three are waiting on me,' he stated. "So go on and tell me what do you think of her?" Kol asked. "Go ahead and tell me, you don't like her…"
"Well she's probably way to good for you," Klaus said.
"She's not your usual type," Elijah added.
"She's actually one of the few people in this town that I like," Klaus told him.
"Yeah I like her to," Rebekah said. "She's not like everyone else she's not judgmental like most people." She told him. "I agree with Nik probably to good for you."
"Don't mess it up Kol," Elijah said. "She seems to like you."
"I'm trying not to mess it up," he told them.
The next morning Stasia dressed in jeans and an Iron man t-shirt. She went downstairs for breakfast and saw her uncle was awake.
"Morning," she said and walked into the kitchen.
"Morning," he said and followed her. "I want to talk to you."
"Alright."
"So things with Kol are going ok?" he asked.
"Yes they are," she smiled.
"He's treating you ok?"
"Uncle Ric, Kol hasn't done anything wrong," she told him. "He's been great."
"Ok then," he sighed as Damon walked in.
"Damon," Alaric said. Stasia rolled her eyes and grabbed her coffee and walked out the back door.
"I need to talk to her," Damon said and he followed her out the back door.
"Stasia," Damon said.
"What do you want Damon?" she asked.
"You have plans with Kol today?" he asked.
"Yes, he's going to call me and let me know when he'll be here to pick me up." She told him.
"Or you could ditch him and hang out with me," Damon told her and she sat her coffee down.
"No Damon," she told him as he stepped closer. She looked up at him.
"Stasia, I'll even get rid of Kol for you," he told her.
"I don't want you to get rid of Kol," she told him and Damon let out a frustrated sigh and grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"You want to be with me today, forget about Kol, call him and tell him you can't see him." he said and Stasia pushed him away.
"What the Hell Damon!" she yelled. "Are you trying to compel me?" she asked.
"Damn it, I forgot Compulsion doesn't work on you," he said.
"I can't believe you tried to compel me," she said and Damon saw her eyes fill with tears as she walked past him but he grabbed her arm, she turned to look at him.
"What?"
"Stasia, you shouldn't be with Kol," he told her.
"Who should I be with because you never wanted me before now," she told him and he squeezed her arm.
"OW! Damon that hurts," she said.
"Stasia I…."
"Leave me alone Damon," she said and she ran inside and to her room and slammed the door. She couldn't believe Damon had tried to compel her. She walked over and grabbed her cell phone and called Kol.
Kol had just stepped in his bedroom after finishing his shower when his phone started to ring. He walked over and picked it up and saw it was Stasia calling him.
"Good morning beautiful," Kol answered.
"Morning Kol," she said.
"You Ok Princess," he asked.
"I'm fine I just….Are you busy?"
"Of course not," he said. "I have to make a stop and then I'll be there to get you." He told her. "Give me thirty minutes."
"Ok," she said.
"And you can tell me why you're upset," he said.
"Kol I…."
"I just know princess, I'll be there soon."
Stasia quickly changed into a pink shirt and brushed her hair again and put on some lip gloss and mascara before grabbing her purse and going downstairs and out the front door. She sat down on the porch to wait for Kol. She had only been sitting there a few seconds when the door opened and someone sat beside her
"Uncle Ric," she sighed. "Damon's still here?"
"He's inside," Alaric told her.
"What's his problem lately?" she asked.
"He's Damon," Alaric said.
"That's not an excuse Uncle Ric," she told him. "He's being more of a jerk than usual, ever since the ball and I've been going out with Kol."
"I think that is Damon's problem," Alaric told her.
"Kol?"
"You and Kol," Alaric told her.
"Damon is the one who ignored me at the ball, I would have been miserable all night if it hadn't been for Kol."
"I know you would have," Alaric said. "And I am glad Kol was able to make your night not miserable," he told her. "I just think Damon's finally realized how amazing and beautiful you are now that he can't have you," he told her. "Guys are like that, not wanting something until another guy has it."
"Kol said that to," she said.
"Well Kol's right this time, guys are like that," Alaric told her.
"But I like Kol and the sooner Damon realizes that the better off we'll all be." She told him and they looked up as Kol pulled into their driveway.
"There's Kol, I'll be back later."
"Ok, have fun, but not to much fun." He told her.
"Bye Uncle Ric," she said and walked towards Kol's car. Alaric watched as Kol got out and walked to the passenger side with her.
"Everything ok?" he asked.
"Yeah its fine," she assured him and he stepped closer to her.
"I don't believe that," he said and she looked up at him. Kol ran his finger over her cheek. "You can tell me anything you want I want you to trust me."
"I do trust you so far," she said and Kol smiled.
"Good," he said and leaned down and touched his lips to hers and then opened the door for her to get inside.
"So what has you so upset?" Kol asked.
"Damon," she told him.
"Why is he always the reason you're upset."
"Its not like that Kol," she sighed. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"The park," he answered as he kept driving.
A few minutes later he parked his car at the park and the two of them got out and Kol grabbed the bag from the bag and then took her hand in his. Kol led her through the park , he stopped by a tree and sat down pulling her with him.
"Now," he said. "I remember you saying something about ice cream when you're upset," he said and pulled a carton of Ben and Jerry's cake batter ice cream and a spoon out of a bag.
"You bought me ice cream," she said surprised.
"Yeah," he said.
"Thank you," she said and opened it and took a bite.
"Now what happened?" he asked.
"Damon wanted me to stay with him today instead of going out with you," she sighed.
"I'm guessing there's more than just that."
"He tried to compel me," she told him as she took a bite of ice cream.
"What do you mean tried?" Kol asked.
"I can't be compelled,"
"No idea why?" he asked.
"No I don't. I don't know if an original could compel me either."
"We can try," Kol said.
"Ok," she said and Kol stood up pulling her with him. He turned so he was looking at her.
"You want to kiss me," he said and she smiled and slid her arms up his chest and wrapped them around his neck.
"You could compel me to do something I don't want to do." She said and he smirked and leaned down and kissed her. Stasia pulled herself closer to him as they kissed, She felt his hands running over her body, he ran his tongue over her lips and her lips parted and he slipped his tongue in her mouth. When she felt his tongue touch hers a moan escaped her mouth making Kol pull her even closer to him. Kol pulled away and touched his forehead to hers.
"Lets try again," he told her and she looked up at him. Kol looked into her eyes. "Turn around and walk away from me. You want nothing more to do with me and you never want to see me again. Forget about me." Kol told her. After he said those words he waited to see what she would do, hoping she really couldn't be compelled.
"Not going to happen," she said and Kol smiled and let out a relieved sigh.
"So you can't be compelled even by an original," Kol said. "You can't be just human then."
"What else would I be?" she asked.
"I don't know princess but we'll figure it out." He promised.
"What would you have done if it had worked?"
"Compelled you to remember me," he told her.
"Good," she said and sat down and picked her ice cream back up and took a bite.
"So what is about eating ice cream when you're upset that makes you feel better?" he asked her.
"I don't know," she admitted. "It just does," she added and took a bite. "You want some?" she asked as she held the spoon out to him.
"Sure," he said and took a bite. "That is good." He added. "So do you need dinner?" he asked.
"I'm ok," she told him as she put the top on her ice cream and sat it down before scooting closer to him and laying her head on his chest. Kol slid an arm around her. He took his other hand and ran his fingers through her hair.
"Kol," she said.
"Yes Princess," he said and she turned to look at him.
"Princess, that's different," she said.
"You don't like it?" he asked.
"Well I like having something only you call me," she said and Kol smiled.
"Well I'm also the only one who calls you Anastasia," she said.
"Yeah you are," she sighed.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Its nothing," she told him.
"Anastasia, I can tell something is bothering you."
"Its just the last guy I dated, the last guy I went out with more than once, that I was serious with…Its…"
"Hudson right?" Kol asked.
"yeah," she smiled. "The last time I was in a serious about a guy I got hurt," she told him.
"I don't know what he did to you because you won't tell me but do you think I would hurt you like he did?"
"I hope not," she said. "You are definitely a lot more dangerous than he is but you haven't hurt me yet."
"And I don't intent to," he told her and leaned over and touched his lips to hers. "Come on," he said and stood up. Stasia grabbed her ice cream and placed her hand in Kol's and he pulled her up. Kol ran his hands up her arms and that's when he saw it a bruise on her upper right arm.
"What happened?" he asked.
"What?"
"You have a bruise," he said as he ran his fingers over the bruise. "what happened."
"Its nothing Kol," she assured him.
"Anastasia, its not nothing," he said. "Should I be asking who did this instead?" he asked.
"Kol," she sighed.
"Tell me what happened."
"Damon grabbed my arm when we arguing and I tried to walk away from him," she told him.
"So Damon did this to you," he said angrily. "Does Alaric know?"
"No he doesn't."
"I don't think he'd be happy his best friend left a bruise on you."
"Kol..."
"He has to know."
"Promise you won't fight with Damon?"
"Anastasia," he growled.
"Kol, promise me you won't fight with Damon about this,"
"Even if he throws the first punch?"
"If he throws the first punch then he deserves what he gets " she told him.
"Fine princess I promise."
