I helped Stefan clean the dishes as we talked more about my family life at home.

We talked about Jeremy and his "issues" and how they related to his brother, Damon, and his "issues".

Stefan even told me about one time when Damon came home drunk on Thanksgiving and when Stefan tried to get him upstairs into his room, Damon punched him.

We just shared stories and it was fun and playful.

"And then when I turned about nine I wouldn't go anywhere without my football, even to my first movie. And to make a long story short, I never got a second datewith her."

We had finished all the dishes by then and were now just sitting at the sink.

"So now I'm going to need and Elena Gilbert embarrassing story."

He looked at me hopefully as my mind scrambled to find a funny but not too embarrassing story.

"Okay, I have one. When I was around eleven, I had a really bad habit of biting my pencils. So one day, I was in class and I was biting my pencil and I bit a piece of wood off of the pencil and ended up swallowing it."

His eyes widened and his smile crept up his face at the story, but I wasn't finished.

"So then I told the teacher, in tears, that I had swallowed wood, and I was so afraid that I was going to end up with a splinter in my stomach."

At this point he was laughing at my young girl naïve-ness.

"So I stayed home for the next few days with, what I think was fake stomach pains made up from my imagination and paranoia."

"Alright, I think you won for the most embarrassing story."

Silence was the only person speaking at this point, but it wasn't awkward, more like comfortable silence.

If this was a Nicholas Sparks book, then this is where I would gaze into Stefan's eyes and realize that he is "the one".

He leaned onto the counter and when he spoke he said, "I think your friend Caroline is gone now, and people might be waking up."

I told him that I had to get back to my room and put on some of my own clothes before Ric tells us all to get up for breakfast. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and let me sneak out the back of the building.

I got back to my room before 8:30. If Ric saw me… I don't even want to think about that.

I snuck into my room and there was Bonnie and Caroline waiting for me. They were sitting on the bed, already dressed and with eager looks on their faces.

Caroline broke the silence and was the first to speak.

"So how is he?ow How" She was staring at me with wide eyes and a smile on her face.

"How is who? And at what?" I took a seat on one of the chairs in the room.

Bonnie rolled her eyes before saying, "Stefan and Sex. Now answer her question. We have a bet about how good he is on a scale of 1-10."

I wish I could give them an answer to their questions. I mean, I really do wish I could. Lord knows Stefan would definitely be a 10.

"I really wouldn't know, Bonnie. But luckily Caroline will be able to tell us all about how British Boys are on a scale of 1-10"

Bonnie now had the wide eyes as she turned her excited look to Caroline. Caroline's face was once again a shade of red as she, for the first time in her life, looked speechless.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me you hooked up with Nik! This whole time you could have told me you had secretive sex, but noooooo, you decide to tell me a false story about Elena and Stefan's hookup." I have never heard Bonnie sound more like a girl in my whole life.

Bonnie has always been the sensible one. She had a boyfriend named Luka junior year, but one day he went on a family rip to Colorado, when he came back, he dumped her. Just like that. He told her he would "Always love you". Nobody really even knows what happened on that trip. All we know is that afterwards she gave up men until college. She has a 4.2 GPA and has never been so interested in Caroline's hookups before. I mean, Caroline doesn't hookup that often, she has a healthy sexual appetite, but she is by no means a slut. I'm just happy that Bonnie is excited about more than her acceptance to Brown University.

"Hey! In my defense Stefan and I did kiss, but yes Caroline did the nasty with a Brit and apparently didn't tell you."

Bonnie looked like her head was about to explode with all of this information.

Caroline spoke at last, "I think I like him."

That was something we never expected to hear from Caroline.

When Caroline and Tyler were together they loved each other so much that I actually thought they might end up together after high school. Then when he cheated on her, well she stopped having real feelings for guys, she never really recovered from Tyler cheating.

But since then Caroline has had no feelings around boys whatsoever. If she likes someone, I like him.

"Care, that's great! But more importantly…" I developed a serious face, "How is he in bed?"

"It was great, really great." She was smiling, like actually smiling. Caroline has her bubbly smile that she does just so she can smile, but when she really smiles you can tell it's her real smile.

"And he does this thing with his-"

"-And that's where we end it" Bonnie said in a rather loud voice.

We all laughed before Caroline said, "All I know is that I don't think I'll be able to go back to American Boys after that"

Bonnie turned her body toward me.

"Your turn, Elena, how was the kiss?"

I didn't even get a word out before Caroline started singing, "Stefan and Elena sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes kissing, then comes sex, then comes-"

"-I don't even want to know where you're going with that Care".

Bonnie put her hand up into the air with her eyes closed.

I tried to think of the words to describe that kiss. Searing, breathtaking (literally), minty, I felt like I was flying.

"The kiss was amazing. He is by far the best kisser I have ever kissed and I like him. And I think he likes me, too. And he makes laugh, and he has really weird taste in music, and he takes care of his older brother even though it should be the other way around, and he wants to be a doctor and help people and he smells like mint and-." I didn't even realize that I had been babbling on and on until I saw Care and Bonnie's faces.

Caroline and Bonnie were looking at me like they were about to cry. They had the look that you get when a baby is born or you see a puppy.

"What? Did I say something stupid?" I tried remembering exactly what I said when Care interrupted.

"Oh my God, do you love him?"
