Ding dong. The door rang, and Grayson went to open it. Stefan was standing in blue genes, a dark blue shirt, and converse. "Stefan what a surprise, it's so good to see you!"
"Do you mind if I come in?" Stefan asked. "Yes, of course!" Grayson said a little surprised by this.
"I know it's short notice Mr. Gilbert but I wanted to talk to you and your wife. if that's okay?" Stefan asked.
"Yes of course." By now, Grayson was a bit worried and confused, what could he possibly want or need? What if this is about Elena? Miranda came walking from the kitchen to meet the pair. "I heard what you all were saying, how about I get you a cup of coffee. How does that sound?" She asked.
"Wonderful," Stefan said, smiling. Miranda walked over to the counter in the kitchen and started to fill the container with water. Stefan and Grayson sat down at the table. Stefan noticed the worry on his face and said "Don't worry it's nothing bad this is quite good actually spectacular even." Said Stefan, with a small smile as he pulled a soft velvet box from his pocket.
"Oh my god, Stefan," Grayson said quietly, surprised nevertheless but ecstatic to say there least. Miranda looked over and smiled brightly, but continued to make the coffee she thought that would be the polite thing to do. She wanted to wait and hear what he would say.
"I came here today because I wanted to ask for your all's blessing to marry Elena," Stefan said, hopeful. Miranda finished the coffee, and at that moment Grayson and she looked at each other, nodded, and said "Yes," Grayson then went on to say it would be our pleasure and honor to say yes."
"Stefan, you are such a sweet man and so kind to our daughter but most of all you make her happy, you light up her heart and soul. We could never say no you're the right person for her and as Grayson said we are honored and delighted for you to marry her." Miranda said smiling and hugging Stefan.
"Thank You, all so much you do not know how much this means to me!" Stefan said brightly. "I'm going to propose I have a plan and everything! Thank You again!" Stefan walked out quickly full of excitement. Miranda and Grayson sat at the table watching happily and waiting to see what was about to unfold.
Chapter End Notes
I know it's short but this is how Imagined it and I think it is still pretty good! At first, I was writing it as a planned dinner, the gilberts didn't know he was proposing, but the problem was it didn't flow, it didn't sound good, and Miranda sounded like a neat freak and controlling. I just didn't want to write her like this and I thought I should restart and take a different approach. I did change the part that sounded controlling but it still didn't sound right or flowed well. I have no good reason why I didn't re-add Jeremy I just didn't see how he would fit into the story. No hate to Jeremy though! I hope you all enjoyed it, requests are open and advice for the story or my writing is helpful, please be kind though! Hope you all have an amazing day or night! Love, Mae!The proposalChapter Summary
Stefan proposes to Elena.Elena and Stefan's apartment
Elena had one of those wonderful mornings with blissful dreams and felt completely refreshed. She opened her eyes to her buzzing phone. She turned over to see Stefan calling her. She smiled softly at this.
"Good morning, Lena I have a surprise for you!" Stefan said sweetly but with a hint of mischief. "Ooh, that sounds fun, I can't wait."
"May I ask what this entails Mr. Salvatore?" She asks, laying up from her bed.
"Well, since you asked Ms. Gilbert we will be going on a little vacation but the location is a surprise!" Stefan said, smiling mischievously.
"Vacation? But tomorrow Christmas?" "I know it's Christmas tomorrow but I wanted to do something special for the both of us. And I think you'll be incredibly happy. I know this is the few Christmases without your family but I think you'll change your mind, you'll see." Stefan said convincingly.
"Alright, then I can't wait!" "But what should I need to wear? Elena asked.
"Love, whatever makes you feel comfortable aka casual clothes," Stefan said sweetly to Elena.
"You know me too well Stef, thank you for all of this I think we need a romantic VK."
"I love you, and I'll pick you up in 20 minutes. How do that sound?"
"Great, I can't wait to see you! I love you! Bye!" Elena said hanging up. She smiled as she got up from her bed. She went to grab her special pen and her olive green diary. She thought I haven't written in this for a little while now. it's time for an update.
Elena moved to her window as she started to write...
12/24/22
Dear, diary I know it's been a while, I had gotten a new one since I thought I lost this one. I felt devastated since my mom gave me this for my birthday and it meant the world to me. I've told you about Stefan my boyfriend maybe, hopeful soon husband. I met Stefan when I was 17 a senior in high school. I had broken up with my boyfriend at the time Matt, he had his whole future planned out and I was still searching for it. But I also felt a lack of passion and understanding. In the end, we wanted different things but I'm glad we're on good terms. But when I met Stefan everything changed, there was passion, he understood me, and it felt perfect. But not perfect like everything was amazing but more as if everything was right or fell right into place. It was as if we were meant for each other, soulmates even. Right now he's planning something all I know is we're going on a vacation but I don't think it's far since I'm supposed to dress casually and it's too close to Christmas he wouldn't plan something like a trip to Hawaii. Anyways, I better get ready now.
~Love, Elena
Elena moved from her window to her vanity to put up her hair. She ran her hand through her hair, grabbed the majority of it, and then tied the hairband. She got up from the stool and headed over to her closet. She found a red Stretch Top, collarless leather bomber jacket, boot-cut jeans on the racket, and classic converse in the corner. This was the outfit she wore when she met Stefan, it was very special because of this. She placed the shoes that were on the side of her closet beside her. And then grabbed a pair of socks from the left side of the closet, then went to the bathroom to change.
2 minutes later...
Elena walked out of the bathroom with her Red stretch top, collarless leather bomber jacket, and boot-cut jeans. She turned to her room and grabbed her converse. She laid them on the bed as she sat down. She put one foot forward as the other was down and tied her shoelaces. And vice versa with the other.
She decided to put on some makeup for this special occasion. She went over to her vanity once again and grabbed some blush, eyeliner, mascara, and neutral colored pallet for eyeshadow. She also grabbed brushes to apply the blush and eyeshadow. First, she grabbed the light brown and opened the pallet, she brushed softly apply powder to her face. Then, she grabbed her eyeliner carefully gliding the liner on the lid of her eye. After she finished, she grabbed the mascara and looked up while applying it. Lastly, she rubbed the brush softly, on the powder and then made brush strokes parallel to one another. She must have thought I don't need makeup for Stefan he loves me with or without. I normally do where it, but today is special and I think it'll be nice.
He should be here any minute now...
Gilbert Loge
Stefan pushed back his hair with the hair jell which fit his face nicely. It's like falling pieces into place. He then pushed the top of the soap bottle squirting soap onto his hands. He rubbed both of his hands fast and put his hand under warm water. He shook his hands in the sink and grabbed a soft towel to finish the job. He grabbed his plaid shirt and denim jeans along with his boots. He made his way over to his couch and tied the strings.
He took a look around and thought I think Elena will love these Christmas decorations, I mean she always does but it'll be even special this year because I'm proposing. And it'll be amazing since it's at her family's loge. He smiled softly, at this thought.
Stefan made his way to the stairs and grabbed his keys, he headed outside to his Porsche to pick up Elena.
I should be there soon...
10 minutes later...
Ding Dong the doorbell rang and Elena came walking down the stairs to greet Stefan at the door. "Hey, are you ready?" Stefan asks softly.
"Yes," Elena says smiling at him and gazing into his olive-green eyes. Stefan holds out his hand and she takes it, they both walk to the car. He opens the door like a gentleman and she gets in.
As he is driving Elena asks "Are you going to give me any more hints?" Elena asks innocently. Stefan pauses for a second and then says "It's very familiar." Stefan said mischievously looking over at her. Elena pouts at his response. "Don't worry love, we'll be there soon!" Stefan said sweetly.
"Ok, good if we didn't I think I would have died of boredom," Elena says dramatically, holding her hand up to her forehead. Stefan scoffs at this while smiling trying to contain his laughter.
After a few minutes of driving, they arrive at the Gilbert loge. Elena gasps, she hadn't been here a few years. "It looks just as amazing as it was when I last saw it. Thank You, Stef!" Elena said, smiling. Stefan held out his finger signaling to wait as he got out of the car. Stefan walked over to open the door. "Why thank you, Mr. Salvatore." Elena smiled as she said this.
They both headed towards the door, Stefan grabbed the keys to unlock the door.
The pair walked in and as you walked in you could smell the chicken and vegetables from here. It smelled delicious. You also could see the fairy lights all around the house it was beautiful.
Wow, Stefan, you did all of this?" Elena questioned looking around at the fairy lights. She also could spell the fresh vegetables from the living room, she smiled softly thinking 'he did all of this for me.'
"Yes, of course, anything for you!" Stefan walked with Elena as they headed for the kitchen. They walked over to the counter Elena looked around taking in the scenery.
'Nows the time Stefan, it's time to propose to her.' Stefan grabbed the velvet black box from his pocket and knelt down beside Elena.
"Thank yo-" Elena turned to face Stefan and covered her mouth in shock. "Will you marry me?" Stefan asked. "Yes, I will marry you," Elena said hugging Stefan. Stefan pulled away and placed the beautiful diamond ring on her finger.
A/N: Next chapter will feature the romantic dinner and Stefan and Elena's parents/family finding out about the wonderful news. I originally was going to just make these two chapters but I feel like it should end here and I'll wrap this short story up in the next chapter. I hope you all liked this story so far!
