I hoped you guys liked the last chapter! Some were confused and just to clear up confusion, Elena does not know Katherine. Her head only snapped up because she recognized her name from the night of the dinner when her call interrupted her and Stefan mid conversation! But nonetheless here is the 6th chapter! Enjoy : )

Elena sat there letting it sink in. Her brother was dating her best friend. She loved them both very dearly yet she was worried her best friend would end up getting hurt because Jeremy was not exactly the picture perfect boyfriend. But hey, if they liked each other and they hit it off, who was Elena to say otherwise?

"Elena?" Bonnie said quietly awaiting her response patiently.

"I uh, didn't expect this, but you know what. If you guys are into each other then who am I to say anything? I just hope my brother doesn't do anything to hurt you, and vice versa!" Elena playfully scolded while standing up and pulling Bonnie up with her so she could pull her into a hug.

"Thank god, I didn't know how you would respond." Bonnie huffed into Elena's long brown hair.

They pulled away from each other smiling before Elena began "Bonnie, don't worry. I really don't mind, I just want the best for both you and I want you guys to be happy. And if my brother finds that in you, and you find that in my brother, its fine by me."

"Thank you, Elena. You have no idea how much this means to me." Bonnie smiled. She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

"So, how did this even begin? I mean, Jeremy?!" Elena said pretending to make a disgusted face. But she laughed it off.

"I'll have you know your brother is very sweet, okay? He knows how to make me feel special and surprisingly enough he is an amazing kis-" Bonnie got cut off by Elena. She did NOT want to know about her brother and his abilities.

"LA LA LA LA LA LA " Elena screamed while putting her hands over her ears as she ran down the bleachers and away from Bonnie. Bonnie quickly ran after her in a fit of giggles.

They reached Bonnie's car and before they got in Bonnie just stuck her tongue out at Elena, both of them out of breath.

"Get used to it Lena!" Bonnie sing songed as she got in the driver side.

It was 3:30 when Stefan got home, and he had to be ready for the dinner by 7pm. So he decided to go on a jog, and then hit the library before he got ready for the night.

Stefan slowly undressed himself thinking about Elena. There was a definite attraction between the two yet he felt like there was something that was holding Elena back. And he didn't know what that was. Oh shut it, Salvatore. She digs you! She feels that electricity that you do!

Speaking of Elena, Stefan had no clue if she was going to come to dinner with him tonight. He needed a way of contacting her, but they never exchanged numbers.

Fuck me, just my luck. He thought. How was he going to solve this? Maybe she just doesn't want to go, that's why she never got back to him. He now lay shirtless on his bed running his hands over his face in frustration. He wanted her to be there, not just because of the whole third wheel thing, but because he wanted to be near her. He was drawn to her almost like a magnet.

He got up and got dressed for his jog and headed out running along his usual path when all of a sudden it hit him. He stopped on the sidewalk and pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts before he found who he was looking for.

The phone rang as he waited before someone picked up.

"Hello" The icy voice rang. He could almost hear the smirk in his voice. Stefan rolled his eyes.

"Damon, why are you picking up dads phone? If I needed you, I would have called you."

"Ugh, can't you just talk to me like a normal brother? I mean, can we get over the fact that I slept with Katherine?" Damon said in a sad puppy voice towards the end.

Stefan twitched thinking of them together. He didn't really care who Katherine was with but if it was his brother, he very much cared. That's just, weird!

"Damon, I'm over it. Now give dad the phone, I need to talk to him." Stefan asked politely, just so he would do so.

Stefan and Damon were the typical brothers. They annoyed the hell out of each other, planned diabolical things together as children, played sports together and even played pranks. But they were inseparable. Their bond was amazing, they would do anything for each other and they loved each other dearly. However, Damon was more of the playboy type. He knew how to treat a lady; he treated them with the utmost respect. It's just he respected a different one every other night. And lately Katherine and him have been spending some time together and he didn't know how he felt about that.

There was a huge dramatic sigh before Damon called out like a 4 year old, breaking up the word into two syllables.

"Da-aaaaaaaaad"

Stefan just scoffed and shook his head

"Damon, you know one day dad is just going to beat you. Do you have any idea how annoyed he gets when you call him like that? You aren't 5 anymore, jeez"

Damon laughed a good hearty laugh before he replied and handed the phone off to their father "Bye steffy poo"

"Damon stop this nonsense, you are a Salvatore, and moreover, you are 25 years old." He scolded

Stefan just laughed. Hearing Damon get into any sort of trouble is just as funny as it was when they were kids.

"Stefan, what can I do for you, son?"

"I needed Grayson's number"

"Whatever for?"

Shit. He hadn't thought about this.

"Just, because"

"Elena?"

How does he know EVERYTHING? Stefan thought.

"Mhm" he mumbled sheepishly.

"I'll have Damon text it over to you, son"

"Thanks dad, bye" and with that he hung up.

Elena rolled around on her bed soaking up the sun that was shining through her open window. She loved everything about nature.

All of a sudden the home phone rang but no one was home, so she got up and ran down stairs in a hurry not to miss the call.

By the time she got to the phone she was out of breath when she answered

"Hello?" she breathed into the phone

"Mrs. Gilbert! It's Stefan" he formally introduced himself, wanting to make a good impression and all.

Elena broke out into the biggest smile. He was such a goof. But she decided to play along for a bit.

"Hey Stefan, how are you?" She said trying to sound motherly in a sense.

Stefan felt his heart beat faster when he heard the voice over the phone say his name. This was not Miranda. How on earth did this weird feeling transcend through technology? He was baffled.

"I am doing great, I had an amazing day…" he slowed down before he began again, he was going to get a good jab at Elena. "I almost kissed the most amazing girl I've ever met today"

And with that Elena blushed, feeling so heated with the blood rush that she had to take the phone away from her ear to take a deep breath. She had a feeling he caught on.

"Oh? And who was this girl? If I may" Elena responded barely able to repress the giggles.

"Um, just someone I know. And I actually needed to talk to that beautiful someone. I uh, wanted to know if this someone would still like to accompany me tonight to dinner." Stefan got out. All of a sudden he was a bit nervous, and he had no clue why. What was it about this girl that made him feel like this?

Elena forgot about his offer and was almost ashamed that she didn't get to him sooner. She thought about it for a second and all she could hear was Caroline nagging her if she didn't go.

"Well said girl would love to accompany you tonight, Mr. Salvatore," Elena blushed

"Hey, didn't I tell you Mr. Salvatore was my father?" Stefan teased

"Yeah, I guess you did…" she trailed off

"Okay, well I guess I'll see you tonight pretty lady. Is it okay if I pick you up at 6:30?" he inquired

"6:30 sounds great, and I am really appreciating the charm you're working on me… Thank you, for the compliments."

"Ah, what's a compliment for a pretty girl like you? I'll see you tonight 'Lena" Stefan said

When Elena hung up she just stood there for a couple seconds before she looked up at her ceiling and shrieked! She ran upstairs to shower and get ready. She was most definitely excited about seeing Stefan tonight, with or without his friends present. This should be a good night she thought.

When Stefan got off the phone, Nik just walked in the door with a bubbly Britney trailing behind him.

"Hey you two" Stefan called out from his spot on the couch.

"Hello mate" Nik said in with deep, British accent filled voice.

Nik came around to sit on the couch beside Stefan as Britney went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

"Hey Nik, remember that girl Elena I was telling you about? When we were talking before I went to that dinner with my folks?" Stefan asked.

"Ah yes, the lovely Elena. How is she, I must ask." Nik said with a smirk in his voice.

"She's good, actually she is more than good. She is amazing, and I wanted to know if she could come to dinner tonight with us. Do you mind?"

"Not at all, I would love to meet this girl that has my lad so smitten, and lost in his own thoughts." Nik teased.

"Yeah well you'll meet her, and hey, hands off, she's mine." Stefan warned

"Oh come on mate, a little look doesn't do anyone any harm. And yours now, is she?" Nik laughed

Stefan rolled his eyes seeing as he would never win with Nik.

"Oh and what is the deal with that one?" Stefan whispered as he motioned to the kitchen.

Nik just shrugged. "I'm not quite sure, I just wanted a fun night, and now she wants dinner… I need to solve this. Oh Stefan, today I was at the grill with Britney over there, and I saw the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on."

"Nik, you have a girl standing in the kitchen. Get rid of her, and then talk" Stefan teased as he got up to shower.

Stefan made his way to the shower with the promise of a good night.
