Chapter 8: Coming to a Closing: Part 1

Point of View: Ian Somerhalder March 9, 2012

I arrive at Starbucks in about ten minutes of pure internal war. I sit at the bar that faces out towards the window. People walk past going to different stores, their cars, and into here but one in particular makes my heart race. Her long straight brown straight hair bounces as she makes her way to me. I stand and give her a hug.

"Hello Ian."

"Hello Nina how are you?"

"Better and you?"

"Good, pretty good."

"The wifey?"

I can't help but chuckle, "She isn't my wife yet but she is good too. You know why we are here right?"

"Yes I got a fair warning from Tiara."

"She doesn't know I'm here I let her sleep so don't think that she's waiting in the car for me or something. Would you like to begin?"

"Sure, I know this is a goodbye meeting and I feel as if this is the official breakup since we never had one. I love you still but I know that before was just a onetime only thing you were weak and I was weak we acted on impulse. I honestly don't want to break you and Tiara up if she is what you truly want. It hurts that I wasn't the one to give you what you needed but that was my fault."

"Tiara is what I want I always will want her even if I'm on my death bed. I realize this is difficult for you and me as well since there's a part of me that still loves you. I can't handle the different feelings pulling me different ways my heart is one thing I don't have control over and it pisses me off. It's obvious where my loyalties stand and yes what happened before was a onetime thing that will never be mentioned ever again."

"Did you ever see us getting married?" Nina asked sadly.

"In other words you mean did I ever think about you the way I do Tiara?"

She nodded her head putting her big brown eyes on mine. "When that rumor started about you turning down my proposal when I actually hadn't made one, I thought about it. I could see myself marrying you but I couldn't see myself being completely happy with you. Then I met Tiara in the middle of all our problems and at first, I thought she was just someone to take all the stress away but after a while, my feelings grew. I know you may not think that I gave our relationship a fair chance but I truly did. I tried to not think about Tiara and distance myself but it didn't work. I never cheated on you with her or anyone else even though the timeline of all this seems to overlap."

"I could see that you loved her when we were all shooting together and I saw how you would light up like a Christmas tree when she was just in the room that's why I got so mad all the time. When everybody had to watch you do the last episode of the season where Tiara left, it was so sad I was even crying. That day I knew I should let you go but I didn't want to I was too selfish. When I heard that Tiara left you because she thought that was the best thing for you I was a little happy because she is the only woman I would ever want to lose you to. You're good together and I want you both to be happy so I won't mention a thing about what happened in December."

I didn't know who I was talking to this was a completely new and improved Nina. I get up and hug her for the last time and say, "Thank you for finally letting me go." I could feel her slight smile against my neck before we pulled away. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.

When I come back home, Tiara is still sleeping which I'm happy about because I know she hasn't been stressing herself out. I have never seen her sleep so long before so she must not be taking her medicine. I kneel down beside the bed watching the micro movements that I never get to see. Don't get used to it she will be kicking you out any day now. You can't keep hiding everything from her she will find out sooner or later… you better hope for later.

I hated to think that Tiara wouldn't be this peaceful again after what I have to tell her and it would tear her world apart. The one thing that I could possibly do to push her back into that depressive state I did… without a second thought. Who am I? Why in the world why I hurt her? Maybe not on purpose but just thinking about it seems that way.

I took a deep breath running my fingers through my hair. I get up and kiss my sleeping beauty's head, "I'm so sorry."

Just as I was about to turn around Tiara grumbled, "No don't leave me."

"Good afternoon sleepy head."

She gave a weak smile, "Hi."

"How are you feeling?"

"Better than yesterday but still drained."

"Maybe because you won't take your iron like you're supposed to."

"I hate feeling like a drug addict I take allergy, asthma, birth control, and anemia medicine."

"I know baby but I want you around for a long time so you need to take it all and stop taking your birth control I would be very happy with that." I finish with a megawatt smile. I want this woman to carry my children more than anything in the world, well except for getting to call her Mrs. Somerhalder.

"We've talked about this Ian, marriage then kids."

"Still just a small technicality we could go down to the courthouse right now and get this settled."

Tiara bolted up, "No! I want a beautiful outdoor wedding with white roses and sprinkles of turquoise or blue in the air. I want to wear a Cinderella dress that shows off my hourglass shape up top but, poofs out right before you get to my butt plus the diamond pumps. Oh gosh I really want David Tutera to do it all and Gino Filippone to be the officiant. I want to be decked out in David Tutera brand stuff and now I'm blabbing I'll shut up." She covered her mouth with her hands.

I couldn't help but smile then remove her hands to plant a kiss on her soft lips. "It's fine I like hearing you talk about it."

"Pfft I looked at a couple magazines and daydreamed like twice nothing major."

I kissed her again, "Anything you want you will get now give me a date and we will get this ball rolling."

"I still don't know I just don't want it to be cold."

"Well that leaves about three seasons so that's progress gorgeous!"

She did her usual giggle, "I love you."

"Do I really need to say it back or have you caught on by now?"

"You need to say it because those three words make me melt."

"I. Love. You."

Tiara clenched her chest and fell back on the bed, "Swoon!"

I laughed, "You're so silly c'mon lets go eat."

"We should go get breakfast tacos I'm craving some."

Point of View: Chace Crawford

I decide it's time to put an end to trying to avoid the number one thing that is always on my mind, Caitlyn. It surprised me when she answered my call but it's probably because she didn't know who it was.

I hear a knock on the door and practically run to it. I open it to see the beautiful blue tie-dye haired Caitlyn. I move aside and she walks in confidant as ever.

"Nice place you got here."

"Thanks please have a seat. Do you want something to drink?"

"Nah I'm good."

We sit on the white couch looking at each other. "Still hate my guts?"

"Not as much but could you blame me? You were ashamed of me you hid me from the public and when people would see us together I was just your cousin. Seriously your cousin? That's the oldest excuse in the world. If you are going to lie about me at least make it a good lie."

"I'm so sorry I thought that I was protecting you and in the end I drove you away. If you'll have me, I want to be yours again. Seeing you and not being able to touch you kills me I'll claim you as mine to the world."

She gave me that provocative look skimming her eyes up and down my body. "I guess we can make it work."

"The way you're looking at me makes me think that you want to do something else."

Caitlyn gets on top of me, "I haven't had sex in months so yes I do want to do something else other than just sit here."

She started kissing me and soon our tongues were invading each other's mouths. After I took her shirt off, she pulled mine apart then quickly began working on my pants. I absolutely loved how aggressive she was it was a giant turn on. I grab Caitlyn by her waist and lay her on down. I pull her shorts off and smile.

"You still don't wear panties?"

"Very rare occasions," With that she leans up and pulls my boxers down and I spring free.

Before I have a chance to think, her mouth is wrapped around me slowly bobbing her head while moving her hand up and down what she couldn't fit in her mouth.

"Holy shit," Caitlyn moves her hands up my torso looking up at me with her hazel eyes. I pull her hair back wanting to see every inch go in and out of her beautiful mouth. Right when she stops I lay her down, put her legs on my shoulders, then slowly enter her wet core. I lean down and start kissing her taking my sweet time thrusting in and out.

"Harder baby please," Caitlyn groans.

I gladly obey her I would do anything in the world to see her tingle with pleasure. She throws her head back in pleasure digging her nails into my back. I slowly begin to go faster and faster. We're both building up to our peaks ready to have that oh so good feeling running through us. It starts becoming hard for me to hold on being inside Caitlyn felt amazing especially when her little wet pum would clench around me.

Then just like that she calls out, "Chace! Oh fuck Chace!"

Feeling her warm juices pushed me over the edge, "Ah Caitlyn!"

Our mouths become connected once again. I press my forehead against hers and she says, "I missed you."
