When Stasia left Kol stared at the closed door. No girl had ever walked out on him. Kol walked over and sat down on her bed and waited for her to get back. He didn't really know what happened.

Stasia went downstairs and fixed herself something to drink and then went back to her room. When she walked inside she locked the door behind her and let out a sigh. She turned around and jumped when she saw Kol sitting on her bed.

"Kol." She said. "I thought you were leaving."

"I was but you just walked out without saying goodbye," he told her.

"Oh," she said as she walked over and sat her cup on the table by her bed.

"Princess."

"What Kol?" she asked.

"I really can't stay with you tonight," Kol told her as he stood up and walked over to her "No matter how much I would love to wake up beside you and for you to be the first thing I see."

"Its fine Kol," she said quietly.

"Soon I promise," he told her.

"Even if all we're doing is sleeping next to each other?" she asked.

"Yes Princess," he told her and leaned down and kissed her. "I know you're not ready for more with me yet."

"How do you know?" she asked.

"I can just tell," he told her as he brushed her hair away from her face and she shook her head and walked away.

"Anastasia," he said and she turned around.

"I know you're not used to waiting," she told him. "And I'm not as experienced as other girls you've been with."

"Are you still a virgin?" he asked.

"Is that a problem for you if I am?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"No of course not," he said as he placed his hands on her arms. "I really don't want you to do something just because you think I want you to."

"Really?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah," he said. "And I've never said that to anyone and meant it.," he told her and she smiled. "But I want you to want to want to be with me and when we do sleep together it will be because you want to not because I want you to."

"Kol," she whispered as she placed her hand against his cheek.

"Now I do have to go, I'll see you tomorrow ok."

"Ok Kol." She agreed and Kol kissed her lips before jumping out the window.

The next morning when Stasia went to the kitchen for breakfast Alaric was cooking pancakes.

"What are you doing?" Stasia asked.

"Making pancakes for breakfast," he told her. "Sit down."

"Uncle Ric I…"

"Sit down Stasia," he said firmly and Stasia knew from his tone not to argue with him, she sat at the kitchen table. Alaric walked over with two plates of pancakes and forks a few minutes later. Then he brought over syrup and juice as well and sat down and the two of then started to eat.

"So why the pancake breakfast?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"

"No," he said. "How did you sleep last night?" he asked.

"I slept good," she answered.

"And Kol?"

"I guess he slept ok," she said confused. "Do vampires even sleep?"

"I know Kol was here last night," Alaric told her and Stasia stopped eating and put her fork down.

"Ok."

"You two aren't exactly quiet." Alaric told her.

"He didn't stay over night," she told him.

"But you invited him in," Alaric pointed out.

"He's not going to hurt either one of us Uncle Ric," she told him.

"Stasia, Things with you and Kol seem to be moving fast."

"Uncle Ric, Kol and I haven't done anything besides kiss." She told him.

"Really?" he asked and Stasia knew he didn't believe her.

"Yes Uncle Ric, Kol and I have only kissed."

"Its just considering Kol's reputation, its hard to believe."

"I'm still a virgin Uncle Ric!" she exclaimed. "And Kol just…he's…."

"Pressuring you," Alaric said angrily.

"No, not at all, he just seems to know I'm not ready for all that with him yet." She said. "I don't know how he knows without me telling him but he seems to just know."

"Well I like Kol a little more now," he said. "He makes you happy."

"Yeah," she smiled.

"Well at least you're happy," he said.

"Kol's…."

"Kol treats you well and that's all that matters." Alaric told her and she nodded. "Tell him to use the front door," he told her. "At least I'll know he's here."

"You'll know he's here anyway," she told him.

"I guess so," Alaric sighed. "Talk to Damon."

"Is he going to be less of a jerk?" she asked him.

"I don't know," Alaric said honestly.

"I'm not going to stop seeing Kol," she told him.

"I know you're not and I know how frustrating Damon can be…"

"Uncle Ric, Damon only thinks he wants me because he can't be with me now and I'll always be Damon's second choice. The girl he wanted because Elena chose Stefan," she told him. "I'm Kol's first choice. Since the day we met he's never made it a secret he wanted to go out with me, it just took me a while to sat yes." She told him as she continued to eating.

"Ric!"

"Damon," Stasia said shaking her head.

"Stasia," Damon said. "I was hoping we could talk," he said.

"I have to go anyway," Alaric said as he stood up. "Will you be here when I get back?"

"Probably not," Stasia told him.

"Ok, just be careful."

"I always am Uncle Ric." She said.

When he was gone Damon looked over at Stasia.

"So you have plans with Kol?" Damon asked.

"At some point I do," she told him.

"Oh," he said and walked away.

"Damon," she said as she followed him. "What's wrong with you?"

"You're always with him," Damon told her.

"Yeah, we're dating, Kol's my boyfriend so I'm going to be with him a lot."

"Oh so things are serious with you two," Damon said and she nodded.

"Yes."

"I just don't get it," he said. "Why Kol?"

"Because he keeps his promises, he's always here when he says he's going to be, he treats me well, he's attractive and charming and funny and I don't feel invisible when I'm with him." she said. "He tells me I'm beautiful."

"You are beautiful," Damon told her.

"So you say now," she told him.

"Stasia I…." he said as her cell phone rang. "I'm sure that's Kol," he snapped as she pulled it from her pocket. It was Kol.

"Give me a minute." She said. "Hello."

"Hey princess," Kol said. "So I should be there around five today."

"Sounds good," she said. "I'll see you then."

"Sleep well last night?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Dream of me?"

"I had no dreams of you whatsoever Kol," she smiled.

"Well I may just have to see if I can change that."

"How can you influence my dreams if you can't even compel me?"

"There are other ways."

"Will I like these other ways?" she asked.

"I'm sure you will."

"Sounds tempting," she sighed.

"See you tonight beautiful," he said and Stasia hung up and turned around and saw Damon scowling at her.

"What?"

"Forget I was here?" he snapped.

"Damon I thought you wanted to talk."

"I'll be back later," he told her and walked out slamming the door behind him.

"Ok," she said and shook her head.

Later that night Stasia was on her date with Kol. The two of them were having dinner.

"So my uncle wanted me to tell you something."

"What?"

"Use the front door." She told him. "Apparently he knows you've been in my room and that I invited you in."

"How did he know?"

"Apparently we're not quiet." She told him and Kol smirked.

"Was he mad?"

"No, after we talked he was ok and he sees how well you treat me and how happy I am with you."

"Good," he said. "I got you a present," he told her and pulled a box from his pocket.

"Kol," she said. "Why?"

"Just because I can." He said. "Rebekah helped me." He told her and handed her the box and Stasia took it from him and opened it. Inside was a charm bracelet.

"Kol," she sighed. "Its beautiful." She told him.

"It has a princess crown on it because I call you princess, it has an A on it because your name is Anastasia and a hamburger because we met outside the grill."

"I love it," she said and handed him the bracelet and then held her arm out. "Put it on."

"I'm glad you like it," Kol told her as he put the bracelet on her wrist. "And there's plenty of space to add to it."

"Add to it," she said.

"As we do things together," he told her.

"That sounds great," she smiled.

A couple hours later Kol was dropping Stasia off at home. He opened the door for her to get out and Stasia leaned against the car, Kol stood in front of her and took her hands in his.

"I really do love my bracelet Kol," she told him. "Its probably the nicest gift I've ever got."

"Your ex didn't buy you stuff?" he asked.

"No," she sighed. "He wasn't that great, I've already told you that."

"I know princess," he said. "Your birthday is next week."

"I know Kol," she sighed and pulled her hands from his grasp and wrapped them around his neck. Kol leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. Stasia pulled herself closer to him as Kol grabbed her hips. He ran his tongue across her lips and slipped his tongue past her lips when they parted. Stasia moaned when she felt Kol's tongue touch hers and he pushed her into the car. Kol pulled away giving her a second to breath before kissing her again He felt Stasia's fingers running through his hair and across his back and couldn't hold back the moan that escaped his mouth. He pulled away and pressed his forehead to hers.

"Anastasia," he said and pulled back to look at her, her hair was messed up where he had tangled his fingers in it and her lips were swollen from kissing him. He could hear her heart racing and see the rapid rise and fall of her chest.

"Kol," she said breathless and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him again, just as their lips touched someone cleared their throat behind them and Kol instinctively pulled her closer and they turned and saw Damon standing there.

"Damon," Stasia said. "What are you doing?"

"Well I came by to see you but clearly you're busy," he said.

"Damon don't," she said quietly.

"Well I can see you're enjoying yourself with the original man whore," Damon snapped. "Although I did expect more of you than to make out with him in your driveway where anyone can see."

"I don't care if people see me with Kol," she told him.

"Obviously," he said. "You sleeping with him already?"

"That is none of your business," she said upset.

"He's probably sleeping around with who knows how many other girls," he said and she heard Kol growl beside her. "He's not going to be a faithful boyfriend," Damon told her and she felt Kol start to move.

"I'M not seeing other girls," he said angrily.

"Don't Kol," she said and he turned to look at her. She took her hand in his and he felt his anger melt away, that was new, it had never happened before. "Damon is in not listening jackass mode and he won't hear anything you say." She told him. "I know you're not cheating on me, I trust you ."

"I know," he said.

"Damon I'll be in in a minute if you want to go in and wait," she told him. "Alaric's home." She told him and he looked between the two of them.

"Fine," he agreed and stormed off, slamming the door when he got inside.

"You should have just let me hit him," Kol told her.

"Kol, I don't want you beating up Damon any more than I want him beating you up." She said and he smiled.

"OK," he said.

"Kol I know you don't like me asking you not to beat Damon up but I appreciate you listening to me." she told him.

"I know Princess," he sighed "I'll call you later."

"I should get inside anyway."

"Yeah I guess so," he sighed. "Good night princess," he whispered and leaned down and touched his lips to hers.

"Good night Kol," she said and Kol walked her to the door and waited for her to get inside before going to his car and driving away.
