Anyway please review and let me know what you think, I am really enjoying creating this story for you guys and your feedback keeps me going! Love u all x

Caroline awoke feeling totally rested and for a moment forgot where she was. Her eyes fluttered open and the sun was shining brightly through the windows and she could hear birds singing outside, a light breeze blew in through the slightly open window and the warm air brushed over Caroline as she stretched. As the events of last night came back to her she put her hands over her face and giggled while still lying face up on the bed.

She turned to her left and saw the man she'd just spent the night with lying next to her and she smiled at the sight of him, biting her finger between her teeth as she gazed at her sleepy man. His hair was messy, well messier than usual, and he lay on his back the cover only on top of him to his waist showing the top half of his body, his arm outstretched in Caroline's direction and his lips lightly parted. He looked so innocent and vulnerable sleeping, his playful façade hiding in his unconscious state. She never got the chance to admire him like this.

Caroline lay on her side and propped her head on her hand, her body so close to his they were almost touching. Caroline's face wore a totally playful and giddy expression as her eyes trailed from his torso up to his beautiful face, she lightly ran her fingers over his hair not wanting to wake him, he really was beautiful. Her fingers continued to lightly graze down his face over his perfectly sculpted lips, unconsciously biting her lip as she did so. Her attention then wandered down to his chest where she lightly trailed her hand over his few chest hairs, skimming her finger along his skin while she looked at his chest in appreciation, she continued to admire him for a few minutes longer as her hands began to trail down to his stomach.

"Good morning, Gorgeous."

Caroline's head snapped back up to his gaze where he was lying with both arms behind his head looking down at her with amusement in his eyes.

No longer innocent, vulnerable, cute, sleepy Enzo, his playful self was back and fully conscious.

Caroline was a little embarrassed but in light of what they'd done last night, ogling at his naked chest was hardly anything for her to worry about, she did wish she hadn't been caught though. Caroline smiled right back at him while flattening her hand on where she had been exploring with her fingers.

"Good morning, yourself." Caroline added with a raised eyebrow and a smile, she lifted herself from the bed and moved up to kiss him, his hands cupped her face and he let out a low moan of appreciation, before Caroline knew it Enzo had pushed her onto her back and was hovering over her pinning her hands to the bed. He grinned down at her deviously as Caroline giggled. Enzo leaned down and began kissing her neck.

"We… Are... Not... Leaving... This... Bed." He whispered between kisses.

Caroline smiled and closed her eyes tipping her head back and giving into him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She heard her phone buzz. Shit elena, she had forgot to text her.

"Ohh.. I gotta get that.. It'll be elena.. She'll be worried about me.." Caroline said slowly trying to drag herself away from Enzo's kisses which was proving impossible as he was relentless in keeping her right there beneath him. He eventually looked up at Caroline and smiled before rolling back to his spot, lying half propped up on some pillows on his back, with his legs crossed and his hands behind his head.

Caroline rolled over and found Enzo's discarded t-shirt and threw it on, still naked underneath as she searched the room for her phone. She returned to the bed while staring at her phone and lay down across the bed so her head landed on Enzo's stomach as he lay there. He removed one hand from behind his head and stroked Caroline's hair as he looked down at her.

"God, 5 missed calls and 2 texts what the hell.." Caroline said quietly looking at her phone as she lay there on Enzo.

"Maybe they don't trust you to come home with me and are checking you're still kicking." Enzo said amused.

Caroline smiled at her phone when she read a surprising text from Bonnie. She looked up at Enzo still grinning. He looked back at her quizzically but still amused.

"So.. What did you say our plans were for today?" Caroline teased him as she turned to her front and crawled in his direction.

"I believe I said were not getting out of bed sweetheart." Enzo informed her sweetly reaching out and stroking her face.

"Well.. As fun as that sounds.. My friends have other ideas.." Caroline said trying to sweet talk him and build up to it, knowing he probably would prefer to stay in bed.

"Those damn friends of yours ruining my fun.. What've you gotten me into now Forbes?" He said playfully.

"Pack you're bathing suit.. We're all going to the beach." Caroline said excitedly, beaming at him.

Enzo beamed back, he would much rather spend the day in bed with her but he couldn't resist her infectious smile and excitement.

Enzo grabbed her making her giggle as he rolled her over so he was now on top of her, pinning her hands once more.

"Don't any of your friends have jobs?" Enzo asked in mock annoyance.

"Not until Monday.. Just a few more days and you can have me to yourself." Caroline pleaded.

"Fine.. we'll go to the beach.. but first..." He said as he grinned down at her playfully and began kissing her neck. reaching down and grabbing the hem of his t-shirt she was now wearing, he quickly pulled it over Caroline's head leaving her naked once more as she giggled.

"How can I say no to that?" Caroline teased as she returned his playful smile and grabbed his face to hers.

XXXXXX

Caroline stood on the street in shock as Enzo looked at her amused.

"This is your car!?" Caroline squeaked excitedly.

"Sure is darling." He beamed.

Before Caroline was a red convertible Camaro with the top down.

Enzo opened the door for her to get in and Caroline practically jumped in still squealing and clapping like a 5 year old. He walked round to his side still looking on and laughing as he sat in the drivers seat. Enzo pulled his sunglasses on and revved the engine while turning to look at Caroline who was now bursting with excitement. It was an extremely hot day and she couldn't think of a better way to take a drive to the beach.

"Ready gorgeous?" He growled at her with a wolffish grin.

"Oh yeah!" Caroline beamed at him sitting back in the comfortable seat and pulling her sunglasses on.

And with that the pair set of to the beach, the rest of the gang were going in Damon's car and meeting them there, so for the time being, Caroline could have Enzo to herself for a short while longer.

Before they knew it they were whizzing down the highway full speed ahead, the wind blowing in Caroline's hair as she enjoyed the sun on her body. A song played through the sound system that Caroline liked but had never heard, love me like you do or something by Ellie Golding, Caroline enjoyed it. She thought to herself how she'd been so wrapped up in everything over the past few weeks it had been so long since she listened to any up to date music.

Caroline and Enzo looked at each other now and then as they relaxed in comfortable silence and enjoyed the ride, Enzo reached his hand over the back of Caroline's chair with the other hand placed on top of the steering wheel as he drove, he looked totally content.

"So when was the last time you went to the beach?" Caroline quizzed Enzo.

"When I was a small boy I think, this may come as a bit of a shock to you but us vampires aren't huge fans of the sun." He teased her holding his hand up next to his mouth pretending to whisper to her.

"Seriously! Wow.. And so.." Caroline held up her hand and wiggled it in his direction "we have daylight rings dummy." She laughed.

"Yeah but still, it never been on my list of priorities.. But I'm quite looking forward to seeing you in your bikini" he raised his eyebrows at her and laughed. "..though I'd be more excited to get you out of it." He added quietly.

Caroline playfully hit him on his chest as she sat back and relaxed, as Enzo cruised down the road approaching the beach.

XXXXXXXXX

Caroline sat on the sand with elena and Bonnie, soaking up the Rays and talking as the guys went to get ice cream. As soon as the guys were out of earshot, or so elena thought, she turned her attention to Caroline

"So.. Spill!" Elena laughed.

Caroline coolly pulled her sunglasses down from her head.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Caroline said innocently.

"Oh come on! It's written all over your face and the two of you are looking at each other differently, what happened!?" Bonnie piled on.

Caroline pulled her sunglasses up and looked at the two of them and didn't say a word but gave them a suggestive look and tipped her head.

"Oh my god! You totally did it!" Elena squealed.

"I knew it! Something was definitely up when we dropped you off last night, I was getting serious sex vibes." Bonnie said teasingly.

Caroline didn't even bother to argue with the pair she just rolled her eyes and laughed, putting her head in her hands.

"Okay never mind me, what about you two and the Salvatore brothers? Elena.. What's going on with Stefan?.. And Bonnie.. What the hell happened when you and Damon dropped us off?"

They both turned their attention to bonnie..

"Nothing is happening with me and damon! We're just friends!" Bonnie insisted.

Bonnie knew the real reason was that he knew about her secret and she had no one else to talk to about it. In the club damon had instantly recognised the name Bennett and Bonnie got her witchy vibes about him too. He wasn't the usual type of person she would be friends with but given the circumstances she game him a shot, she wasn't exactly ready to tell anyone what she was it was all still pretty new to her and plus she didn't want anyone thinking she was crazy.

"Yeah whatever.." Elena teased. "So what does this mean, are you and Enzo like a thing now?" Elena said turning her attention back to Caroline.

"I dunno, we haven't really discussed the whole 'what does this mean?' Thing yet.. But I like him.. So I'm just going with the flow." Caroline said casually to drive the conversation away from her.

"You did not just say 'going with the flow'" Elena teased "I totally see you two together." She said mater of factly, and lay back down on her towel to try and catch some sun.

Caroline looked around to try and see what was taking the guys so long with their ice cream.

At an ice cream cream truck not too far away Enzo was smiling to himself after hearing her speaking about him.. "I like you too." He whispered to himself on the off chance that she was listening.

XXXXXXXXX

The gang relaxed on the beach with their ice cream, Enzo had come over and sat behind Caroline while he handed her hers and planted a kiss on her temple, obviously not caring about keeping their secret, everyone suspected they were together anyway so Caroline didn't complain, may as well just be out with it. He sat back and Caroline followed, leaning with her back against his chest as she dug into her ice cream. Elena gave Caroline a suggestive look saying 'I told you so' and Caroline just rolled her eyes and relaxed on Enzo.

"Okay.. I'm going for a swim." Elena announced while standing.

Everyone but Caroline and damon followed.

"Coming for a dip sweetheart?" Enzo leaned into Caroline's ear and whispered.

"I'll be there in a minute, haven't finished my ice cream." Caroline giggled.

With that everyone ran towards the water leaving just Caroline and Damon.

"So what's going on with you and my buddy Enzo then blondie?" Damon asked playfully turning to Caroline.

"What is with everyone asking me that today." Caroline said quietly. "I don't know yet, it's only been a whole 3 days." She laughed.

"Yeah I guess so, go easy on him.. He's a good guy and he's had a rough time of it." Damon said sincerely.

Caroline looked round to Damon and gave him a small smile appreciating him caring from his friend, she hadn't seen the serious side of Damon yet.

"We just need some time." Caroline confessed.

"Well you've only got eternity right." Damon teased, obviously choosing now to talk about the vampire thing, this had been the only time they'd had the chance to bring it up since last night.

"How long have you been a vampire?" Damon quizzed her.

"Just over a month." Caroline replied.

"Wow, you're a baby!" Damon laughed.

"Shut up!" Caroline laughed. "What are you like a million?"

"Been dead since 1864.. You do the math." He said sarcastically.

"Oh my god, you're older than Enzo."

"Yep, turned by a girl I was in love with.. Shocking twist my brother was also in love with her and he's been a vampire since 1864 too, go figure."

"Turned for love huh? Did it last?" Caroline inquired.

She locked eyes with Damon for no more than a second before he broke the gaze and looked down with a pained expression.

"Nope… But that's a whole other story." Damon said staring off into the distance.

"At least you know who turned you." Caroline said sarcastically.

"How can you not know who turned you?" Damon turned and asked confused.

"Damned if I know." Caroline said with a sigh, she figured since she was going to be spending lots of time with her new vampire buddies they should at least know the truth.

"It was like I was human one day and a vampire the next. The only possible thing I can think of is compulsion.. But that's impossible." Caroline sighed again.

"That's weird." Damon said with a confused look plastered across his face. "We'll figure it out." He said assuringly, giving Caroline a sympathetic smile.

She was relaxed with him and happy to be seeing his compassionate side, the only remarks from Damon toward her had been sarcastic and cheeky, she was enjoying the caring Damon a lot more, though she suspected it was only because they were alone, he would put his sarcastic front straight back up around company.

"I hope so." Caroline smiled back before standing up and heading towards the ocean and Enzo.
