I wake up rapidly and violently. I feel like I fell asleep on a nonstop rollercoaster. The sunshine is attacking my eyelids causing my blurry vision. It takes some time to get used to the light shining through the window.

Then I feel my head.

It feels so heavy; I don't think I can lift it off the pillow. I try to remember last night, but I'm coming up with nothing.

Wait. Stefan. We kissed. Like for real, this wasn't one of those dreams that I have about Zac Efron, I think this was real. We kissed then he told me that I was just drunk.

Like hell was I just drunk, I was just braver last night.

The last thing I remember is being set onto a couch and watching Stefan's butt as he walked away. He has a really nice butt. But then, nothing, darkness, nada.

It is at this point that I notice that I have no idea where I am. I'm in a bed, that's for sure. Oh shit, what if I drunkenly hooked up with someone last night. Jeez Elena, just slowly turn to your right and see if there is a naked boy next to you.

Oh, thank God, it's just me.

I try and get up and feel like I've just had the wind knocked out of me. Like and invisible fist is hitting me with a hangover over and over again. I think I might throw up.

I finally get up on my third try and realize that I'm wearing a man's gray "save the forest" t-shirt and boxers. I once again revisit the possibility of a drunken hookup until I remember that nobody who would "save the forest" would drunkenly hookup as well.

Coffee. I need coffee.

I also need to find out where I am, and who lent me their clothes, and also how I got into their clothes. Especially the last part because I'm not big on taking my clothes off in front of strangers.

I have no more questions when I see Stefan walk in the door.

God he looked good. His hair was messy and damp in a really sexy kind of way. He wasn't wearing a shirt, I would never complain about that. Any opportunity to see his body was a good opportunity. He wore sweats that hung loosely around his hips. Did I mention that he was shirtless?

"Look at this, Sleeping Beauty finally woke up" He had two cups of coffee in his hand; he offered me the one on his right. Right when I took my first sip, I felt immediately better. Caffeine is my addiction.

"Stefan you are a lifesaver. Thank you… Umm what time is it?"

"Oh don't worry, it's 7:30. Nobody ever wakes up before 8:30. And because breakfast is at 9 and the hike is at 10 so you're fine and Ric has no idea that there was an amazing party last night."

Thank God. His words calmed me down enough to realize that I smelled scrambled eggs from the kitchen.

"Um is that scrambled eggs I smell?" I could feel the pit inside my stomach; I was starving.

"Yeah, you can have as much as you want. I made some after my shower" He turned and led me to the kitchen.

"So, do you remember much of last night? You were pretty faded. I left you on the couch for like a minute and you fell asleep." Stefan was grabbing me a plate and putting the scrambled eggs from the pan on.

I could feel the embarrassment on my cheeks taking form as a fiery red blush.

"Yeah, thank you so much for taking care of me, I was kind of a mess" I wore and apologetic look and he just smiled at me. He set the plate across the circular table in his small, but cozy kitchen.

"But, um how did I get out of my dress and into your "Save The Forest" T-shirt?" I could still feel the blush.

"Right… Well after I took you to bed and laid you down, you kind of started waking up, and stripping. You were talking about how your dress was so uncomfortable. And you needed to take it off. So you did." Now he was the one looking embarrassed.

I stared right at my eggs, not taking my eyes off them. Oh no, did he see me? He probably saw the scar from when I had my appendix removed and my bellybutton. Nobody has an attractive bellybutton.

I swallowed before asking, "And what next?"

He smiled again and said, "So before I got the chance to see anything, I turned around and got you a T-shirt and boxers. And I gave them to you with my eyes shut."

He was wearing a trademark smirk. He played me this whole time. I threw a piece of egg at him and we both smiled.

"Thank you again. For taking care of me and" I cleared my throat, "not looking".

"Hey, it's no problem. I kind of liked being the hero. And when you're drunk, you laugh at all my jokes so that's a plus."

We both started laughing and looked at each other, when I remembered the kiss. I know he remembered it when his look changed as well.

"Elena, we should talk about that kiss. I mean, you do remember that kiss right? It wasn't just a dream because it feels like something I would dream about."

Remember the Kiss? The Kiss has been on my mind and in my thoughts since waking up. And I've been thinking about kissing him since I saw him.

"Listen Stefan, I didn't kiss you because I was drunk, I've wanted to kiss you since I bumped into you in the cafeteria. Drunk Elena is just better at conveying her feelings, I guess. "

His face was serious, until it wasn't. Suddenly he broke out into a smile. He leaned in, across the table, his hand on my cheek, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Just as he tilted his head down toward my lips, the clanging of a pot and a half naked Caroline interrupted us.

Then, running in shirtless in his bright blue boxers was the cute British boy from last night. His name is Nik I think.

I'm not sure who was in a more compromising position. Stefan and I were about to have our fist sober kiss, but only a white sheet clothed Caroline.

The kitchen was silent.

Then Caroline said, "I thought you said Stefan would be out by now!" Her face was a dark shade of Scarlet Red.

"Sorry love, I smelled eggs. I couldn't resist myself." Nik was now stepping in from of Caroline, leading her back to his room.

I'm still speechless.

Then I yell to care, "we are going to talk about this later!"

"You bet we are!"

I look back to Stefan when he whispers in such close proximity, "I guess we'll have to wait for the next romantic moment" He winks.

With that, he gets up and washes my empty dish.

Yes, there will definitely be more romantic moments.
