I am so sorry I haven't updated recently. I completely forgot last week and this week I haven't had any time until now. Work has been so crazy. This chapter is a little longer than the other ones so hopefully that will make up for the delay.

I wanted to thank Joan89 for the last review. It actually brought something to my attention; I have no idea how I am going to end this story yet. Their time in the 20s ends when Rebekah is daggered, but I don't want that to be the end of For a While, so if anyone has any ideas I will take them into consideration as I figure out the ending.

Please enjoy!

Rebekah awoke with a smile on her face. They did it! She was surprised on why she was so happy; it wasn't like it was her first time. But with Stefan it was different. Rebekah felt special. Stefan made her feel special.

The way he touched her. The way his lips felt upon her neck. Rebekah could still feel the trail his lips left on her body. From her ear down to her breasts. He was gentle with her and also rough; he was sweet but he also took possession of her; Rebekah loved the way he made her feel. She was glad that Stefan was with her and she didn't want to lose him.

Rebekah did not want last night to end, but she made it home before Klaus sent out a search party. She left Stefan at Gloria's and had a taxi drive her home. As soon as she made it to the apartment, she went straight to her room and collapsed on her bed. She spent the night dreaming about spending eternity with Stefan. She would run away with him. They could escape Mikael together.

Rebekah sat up in her bed. She realized that Klaus wasn't home. Rebekah found that odd. She had been home alone before, but Nik was usually always home whenever she woke up.

Rebekah got out of bed and went into the kitchen. She found a note waiting for her on the table.

I am out on business.

Do NOT leave the apartment until I return.

Be ready to go to Gloria's tonight, I need to speak to the witch.

-Klaus

"Great," Rebekah said. She hated being alone, not because she was scared it was because there was nothing to do in their small apartment.

She looked around wondering what she could do for the entire day. In the corner of the room she found a phonograph. Rebekah was excited that she would be able to play music. "When did that get there?" Rebekah asked out loud. She was certain that it wasn't there the other day. She had always wanted one, but Klaus believed that the music would disturb his painting.

She went over to the machine and tried to figure out how it worked. She saw them at a store near one of her dress shops. The man put the disk in the center and placed the needle on the disc. Rebekah did just that and music crackled to life. Rebekah began to dance around the room as the music got louder and a sweet tune was playing.

She felt happy as she remembered dancing with Stefan last night. He held her close and made her fly across the floor. When they danced she felt eyes watching them. They were a power couple. And she was glad that they fit so well together.

Rebekah stopped dancing as she heard a knock on the door. It was very quiet form the loud music. She was only able to hear it because of her supernatural hearing.

She turned off the music and went to answer the door. She tried to see if she could hear who was on the other side. She didn't hear a heartbeat, so it wasn't a human. Vampire. As she opened the door she prayed that it wasn't someone working for Mikael, or worse her father himself. She opened the door slowly preparing herself for what was on the other side.

"Sweetheart, there was no reason to turn the music off," Stefan said as he leaned against the door way.

"Oh my god, what are you doing here?" Rebekah asked. She pulled him into her apartment before anyone saw him.

"I wanted to spend the day with you," he said. Stefan walked around the small apartment before he sat down on the couch, making himself at home.

"How did you know where I live?" Rebekah asked. If he could find her, surely Mikael could. If Nik saw that Stefan knew where they lived he would be furious. Rebekah would never here the end of it.

"Don't' worry sweetheart."

"No, Stefan you have to tell me."

"Fine, I… I followed you home last night," he said quietly. "I wanted to make sure you made it home safely." Stefan looked down at his feet afraid to look at the original before him.

"Stefan," Rebekah was speechless. She sat down on the chair across from Stefan. "I- I don't know what to say."

"I can leave if-"

"No, don't leave. It was very considerate of you to make sure I was safe." She felt safe when she was with him and she was glad that he was there.

"I am surprised you did not realize that I was tailing you," Stefan said. He leaned back into the couch and pulled Rebekah to sit next to him.

"Me too," Nik better not find out about that. Rebekah already believed that her brother thought of her as a nuisance.

Stefan cleared his throat; Rebekah was staring off into space. "So…"

"I am so sorry; can I offer you a drink?" Rebekah said standing up and walking to the side table. There were three decanters out.

"Yes," he said. Rebekah came back with two glasses. She handed one to Stefan and sat down on the couch next to him. Stefan put his arm around her so she had to lean against him.

Rebekah took a sip of her drink, "Did you have something in mind when you planned to spend the day with me?"

"No, actually I didn't," Stefan said. If he was embarrassed he didn't show it.

Rebekah looked at the clock on the other side of the room and saw that it was almost lunch time.

"I can make us lunch, and then we can figure out what to do," Rebekah stood up again and brought her drink with her to the small kitchen.

Over the course of making and eating lunch, Rebekah and Stefan talked about everything and anything. They drank while they ate. Both the food and liquor helped ease the ache for blood Rebekah was beginning to feel, but she knew that she would have to hunt soon.

"We could take a stroll through the park," Stefan said after a few minutes of silence.

"Excuse me?" Rebekah asked not knowing what they were talking about.

"We could walk through the park this afternoon. And then maybe go to Gloria's?" Stefan said.

"Of course, I would love that." She had no idea where her brother was. As much as she loved Nik, she wasn't going to let him lead her life. She wanted to go out and fall in love. She would meet up with him later that evening. He wanted to go to Gloria's anyway.

Rebekah and Stefan were on their way to Gloria's. After their stroll through the park they went their separate ways to prepare for the night. Gloria changed into a pale dress with a beaded pattern that sparkled. She put her long chain of pearls. She also had on the necklace that she took from before she was a vampire. She kept it with her always because it reminded her of her mother who was brutally taken away from her. She touched her necklace and it felt as though the magic from her mother was radiating off of it.

Stefan looked dashing as even in his tux. He slicked back his hair with and insane amount of grease. It made Rebekah giggle when she first saw it.

They entered the speakeasy together which shocked the occupants that Stefan was again with the same girl. The couple went straight to the dance floor. They danced for what felt like hours before collapsing in a booth to have a drink. Rebekah and Stefan talked and laughed as they each had a few drinks.

"I could really use some blood," Stefan said casually.

"You can bring a girl over here," Rebekah said. She wanted to drink herself and why not do it with Stefan?

"I'll be right back sweetheart," Stefan said. Rebekah ordered them another round of drinks and compelled the waiter to drop off their drinks and forget anything else that he might see.

Rebekah was having an amazing time. Klaus never crossed her mind because Stefan kept her so busy. She loved dancing with him. He would tell her things in her ear as they danced in and out of other pairs. Rebekah never got bored of their conversations.

Stefan came back with a brunette that was shy. He pushed her into the booth so she was between the two vampires. Stefan compelled her not to scream and to forget what would happen. Stefan then leaned in and bit into the woman's neck. The scent of blood hit Rebekah hard. She leaned in and bit on the other side of the woman's neck. As soon as the blood hit Rebekah's throat she felt a connection from Stefan that came from blood sharing. It was a rush that turned Rebekah on.

Stefan reached his hand over to touch Rebekah's shoulder. Rebekah felt his warm hand move up to cradle her neck. She broke away from drinking blood the same time Stefan did. Their lips connected. Rebekah tasted Stefan along with blood. It was intense. Rebekah wanted all of him.

Stefan's lips began to descend Rebekah's neck. Rebekah let out a low moan which made Stefan want her even more.

As Stefan kissed Rebekah's neck he felt the necklace from her past. He took it in hand and said, "It's beautiful."

"A witch gave it to me," Rebekah said slightly out of breath. "Supposedly it's magical."

"And is it?" Stefan asked. He looked into Rebekah's eyes and saw that they were a shade darker.

"It brought me love, didn't it?" Did I just say love? Rebekah shocked herself. She hadn't known Stefan long, but she was sure she loved him. When Rebekah was with Stefan she felt a connection that she hadn't felt with anyone else in a long time.

Rebekah moved her hand to cup Stefan's cheek as their lips connected again. Rebekah loved the way his lips made her melt into him. She didn't want this to end.

"It's late Rebekah, we're leaving," Klaus said coming out of nowhere.

Sorry for the cliff hanger! But I had to.
