A/N: Sorry its been so long since I updated this fanfic! I got caught up in writing "Is This Forever?" That and I start Cosmetology school and have been busy with that and family stuff. I'll try and keep this updated more often now.

Stefan downs the last of the water in his bottle, the third or forth one that he had drank since lunch with Elena. He wipes the sweat from his face as he calls out to his guys, telling them it was time to pack up and clock out for the day. They hand managed to finish the flooring for the entire first floor after lunch, and Stefan was proud. After everyone clocked out, Stefan went around and made sure everything was cleaned up and that the electricity was shut off before he locked up the site. He got in his car and drove the short few blocks to Damon's office, and after spraying himself down with some body spray, he walked into the building and went straight to Damon's office. He was the only employee that could go straight to his brother's office without having to have Damon's secretary call back and let Damon know someone was coming. Stefan knocks on the door, shivering as the cool air from the air conditioner blew across his sweaty skin.

"Come on in, Stefan." Damon calls from behind the doors.

Stefan smiles and enters his brother's office, taking a seat in front of Damon's desk. Damon was surrounded by paper work, and he looked frazzled, which was nothing new when it came to Damon and his work. Damon hands Stefan a bottle of water and the two of them discuss the days work, and Stefan tells Damon about the college girls coming back on to the site.

"I've waled them off several times this week, but they keep coming back, even under the threat of having the police show up. I don't want to cause trouble, but I don't want one of them distracting my guys and have someone get hurt." Stefan tells Damon, downing some of the water.

Damon nods, running a hand through his hair. "I'll call the local police department and see about getting an officer to come by and watch for the girls, have them escorted off by the police. If that doesn't work and they put up a fight, then they get arrested."

Stefan nods. He and Damon continue to talk for a few minutes more, then Stefan leaves, thankful it was the last day for the week. Damon had given everyone Friday off because Damon had to go out of town for the weekend. After bidding his brother goodnight, Stefan drove home with the windows down and the top off on his car. He stops at a florist shop and buys a small bouquet of roses to surprise Elena. Stefan smiles as he pulls into his driveway, seeing Elena in the kitchen through the window. He gets out of the car and locks it up, grabbing his dirty work shirt from the back seat and hiding the bouquet behind his back as he walks up the steps and goes into the house.

"I'm home!" Stefan calls, grinning as he hears Elena shuffle around in the kitchen. Elena comes out of the kitchen and walks over to Stefan, kissing him as she dries her hands off on a dish towel. Stefan kisses Elena back, then hands her the roses. Elena gasps, shocked.

"What are these for?" She asks, smelling the bouquet of red roses.

Stefan smiles, pulling her to him and kissing her one more. "Because I love you, and I wanted to surprise you with something nice. Also, I have good news." He tells her.

Elena blushes, smiling. "They're beautiful, Stefan. Thank you." Elena replies, smelling the roses again. "I've got some good news too, but You first."

"No, you first." Stefan states, grinning.

Elena giggles. "Okay. Well, I told you I had to do that presentation today,." Elena starts, trying not to smile.

"How did it go?" Stefan asks.

"I passed! I got one hundred percent on it, and bonus points because I was the only one to do the presentation solo, everyone else partnered up."

"Whoo! That's my girl!" Stefan cheers, grabbing Elena and spinning her around.

Elena laughs and throws her arms around Stefan, grinning as he sets her back down and kisses her deeply. Elena kisses Stefan back.

"Now, what was your news?"

"Damon gave us tomorrow off. So I have a three day weekend, and I know you don't have any classes Friday, so I think, we should spend the day at the beach."

"That's awesome! I could use a day on the beach.." Elena says with a grin. "Go wash up, dinner is ready."

Stefan heads tot he bathroom to wash his hands then comes back and sits at the kitchen table beside Elena. The two of them talk about their day, about Elena's presentation, and about what they would like to do on their three day weekend. After finishing dinner, Stefan does the dishes while Elena puts the left overs away. The two of them then sit down and watch a movie before heading upstairs to their bedroom for a shower. Stefan goes into the bathroom first, starting the shower and getting in. He hums to himself as he shampoos his hair. Elena comes in, wrapped in a towel. She drops her towel and slips into the shower while Stefan rinses out his hair. Elena runs her hands over Stefan's body, surprising Stefan. He turns to face Elena, smiling down at her as he takes in the sight of her. The two of them shower together, Stefan shampooing and conditioning Elena's hair, then the two of them wash up, rinse off, and get out. Stefan goes out into the bedroom, naked, turning on the stereo and turning it down low. He grabs a pair of pajama pants and turns to put them on, when he sees Elena emerge from the bathroom, her wet hair brushed out and her towel wrapped around her body. Elena walks over to Stefan, who pulls Elena to him and kisses her deeply, dropping his pants on the bedroom floor. Elena kisses Stefan back, wrapping her hands around his Stefan's neck, her towel slipping from her body as she deepens the kiss. Stefan breaks the kiss, his breathe coming in soft pants.

"Are you sure you want to... ummm..." Stefan stammers, blushing as he looks down at Elena.

Elena blushes as well. "I am. We've been together for eight months, and I love you. I'm ready, if you are." Elena replies.

"I am. I love you, Elena. I've waited for you to be ready, for us to be ready"

Elena smiles as Stefan walks her over to their bed, taking Elena in his arms and kissing her as he lays her back onto the bed. Elena kisses Stefan back as they move so they're laying fully on the bed, shivering as Stefan trails kisses down her neck. Elena arches her back, letting out a soft moan as Stefan massages her breasts, then slips his hand between her legs. Stefan then gently moves Elena's legs apart and enters her slowly. The two of them let out soft moans as Stefan begins to move, Elena arching her back and kissing Stefan passionately. Their first time together was special, and Stefan took his time to make sure Elena felt the passion, and love, he felt for her in his movements and in his kisses. After they finish, Stefan helps Elena clean herself up, and the two of them snuggle close in bed, Stefan falling asleep with Elena in his arms, her head resting on his chest.
