Chapter Four
Bonnie was in her room, studying spells from a book her Grams had given her, when there was a light tap on the bedroom door.
She called "Come in."
Elena didn't knock, she just barged right in since it was also her room. She was surprised when Stefan walked in.
She put the book down and patted the spot on the bed beside her, saying, "Hey, Stefan. What's up?"
He clasped his hands together and bit his lip, "I wanted to talk about what happened in the Tunnel of Love." He said simply.
She blushed despite herself and picked the book back up, pretending to be engrossed in it, "What about it?"
"Well..." "It happened."
Bonnie interrupted, "But it shouldn't have. That's it. The mood around was all romantic, it was bound to happen. We shouldn't make a big deal out of, right?" She looked up to meet his eyes.
He shook his head and said almost sadly, "We both know that wasn't the case."
They were silent.
Suddenly, his lips were crushed against hers. She found herself kissing him back and his hands groped her sides as she leaned further back onto the bed.
He kissed her with a hunger he didn't even show Elena, his mouth finding her neck. A moan escaped Bonnie's lips. That was when the door swung open to reveal a very shocked Elena.
"Oh God! I'm sorry" Elena gasped covering her eyes and stumbling out of the room, shuting the door behind her.
"Well uh... the moment is kind of ruined huh?" Stefan let out a small laugh.
Bonnie smiled; "Yeah... maybe" She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his gently.

The next morning Elena woke up and walked over to Tyler's room.
It was close to eight and Stefan would be here soon.
"Tyler?" She asked noticing he wasn't in bed.
"In the bathroom" He called. Elena walked over and saw him brushing his teeth.
"Hey" She smiled kissing his cheek, "Stefan asked me to come to breakfast... He's picking me up at eight... Is that alright with you?" Elena asked smiling.
"Yeah" He answered after rinsing out his mouth, "I have a workout today anyway... I'll text you and we can meet for lunch or something okay?" He kissed her cheek before she walked downstairs to meet Stefan at the door.
She got into his car and they drove to the local coffee shop.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Elena asked taking a sip of her coffee.
"Well it's just... I... I still love you Elena... Seeing you with Tyler really hurts me" Stefan frowned. "What?" Elena almost gasped.
"When you died... I realized that I wasn't ready to let you go Elena" Stefan whispered.
"Stefan... I don't know what to say" She whispered.
"Then don't say anything... Just think about it... please... for me" He bit his lip nervously. Elena didn't trust her voice and instead just nodded.

"So you and Care, huh?" Mystic's Elena teased as she glanced at either side of the road before she crossed it with Matt jogging a few inches behind her.
He chuckled, his cheeks turning a light pink. He scratched his head and swung his book bag over his shoulder, "Guess so." He replied with a small smile.
"I knew it." Elena cried excitedly, throwing her hands into the air in celebration, "I knew it would-"
Just then, an unfamiliar, sickeningly sweet voice interrupted, "Excuse me?" They whirled around and came face to face with a young Asian girl.
She had long black hair, the tips a deep scarlet. Her eyes were as black as her hair. Standing beside her was another Asian boy, which they assumed was her related to her, because he had the same dark hair and red tips, the only difference being his eyes, which were a piercing honey gold.
Elena stared at both of them with uncertainty before saying, "Yes, can we help you?"
"We're new in this town." The girl explained, playing with a golden key that hung from her necklace, "We're lost. We were wondering if we could borrow your phone. I'm Misao, by the way." Then she extended her hand toward the guy beside her and said, "And this is my brother, Sinichi."
"Our phone? Um... I guess... is there something specific you're looking for?" Elena asked.
"No... we just needed to call a friend and let them know we're in town" The girl, Misao, said with a smile.
Elena nodded and handed her phone to the girl. The girl took a few steps over and dialed a number quickly. She spoke in Japanese for a long time before finally saying goodbye.
"Thank you" she smiled and handed Elena back the phone.
"I'm Elena and this is my friend Matt... do you guys want to join us for some coffee?" Elena offered.
"That would be lovely" The boy, Sinichi, smiled his eyes gleaming playfully.

"El-Katie!" Tyler called to Stefan and Elena who were walking down the street together. Elena turned to see Tyler jogging up to them from a group of his team mates.
"Hey!" Elena laughed as he kissed her forehead. "How was your workout?" She asked.
"Great... you wanna meet some of my friends?" Tyler smiled hopefully. Elena stole a glance at Stefan feeling guilty, "Oh Stefan... um you can come too" Tyler offered half-heartedly.
"No that's okay... you two go ahead, I'll see you later Elena" Stefan gave her a quick hug walking down the street, hands in his pockets.
"Bye Stefan" Elena whispered to his rapidly disappearing form.

"So where are you from?" Elena asked once they were at Starbucks.
Misao dropped a sugar cube into her coffee, responding, "We're from California." Sinichi nodded in agreement, taking a small sip of his Latte from a cup.
"You don't talk much, do you, man?" Matt chuckled, slapping him on the back softly.
Sinichi seemed to stiffen at his touch, but when Misao rested her hand on his leg he relaxed and for the first time, Elena and Matt heard his voice.
It wasn't too deep, a little husky, "I don't socialize much."
"Ah." Matt nodded, examining at the necklace he was wearing; It was exactly like the one that hung around Misao's neck. Sinichi caught him staring and cleared his throat, reaching up to hide the necklace under his shirt.
Matt raised an eyebrow in confusion but waved it off and asked, "Are you two going to our high school?"
"No." Misao answered for him, "We graduated a year ago." She laughed lightly and added, "We're small, we know."
"Oh, cool." It was silent until Sinichi spoke up, saying, "So you said your names are Elena and Matt?"
"Yes..." Elena said slowly. A confused look crossed Sinichi's face but it quickly disappeared when Misao pinched his arm.
Elena and Matt shared a puzzled look at their strange behavior.
