"And I guess that is the end of class. Complete your reading and questions for tomorrow! Have a nice day." Stefan said to his new class as the bell rang, dismissing the kids.
When Stefan sat down in the desk beside his assigned teacher, he let out a deep breath. His first day had been grueling. The kids had been a lot more work than the kids back in Mystic Falls and the teacher was not involved. Not when he knew that he had a little student teacher running around doing his job so he could play Tetris on his phone all day.
"Long day there, kiddo?" Mr. Gordon asked Stefan as he sat down and took out his phone going through his messages.
"A bit different down in Mystic Falls than it is here." Stefan remarked not really into the conversation. The guy was a dick, and Stefan wanted to leave.
He opened up a text from Elena that she had sent an hour ago:
E: Good morning babe, I hope you have a great first day and I can't wait to see you in a couple of days. I love you xx.
Stefan smiled to himself as he read her message over and over. He truly was head over heels for this girl.
Just as he was about to respond to her text there was a knock on the door before a blonde stuck her head through the door.
"Stefan Salvatore?" The accented woman asked with a soft voice, yet hard and firm at the same time.
Stefan got up from his spot at the desk and walked on over to the door where the blonde chick waited patiently.
"Rebekah" Stefan said with a smile clearly happy to see her. He hadn't seen Rebekah in about 2 years and he was happy to see her.
"I heard the ever mighty Salvatore was in town." Rebekah mocked in her perfect British accent. No doubt her and Nik were related.
Stefan chuckled as he brought his hand up to scratch the back of his neck where his hair ended. He liked Rebekah, she was a good girl, but of course, she was also demanding and insensitive sometimes.
"Yeah well I'm here now, so things might start looking up around here." He said referring to the rude and unconcerned atmosphere created around the students of the school.
"They already are" Rebekah said looking into his eyes with a slight smile playing around her lips. Truth is, Rebekah will always have a soft spot for Stefan. Who wouldn't?
Rebekah moved closer to Stefan, close enough that he could smell her perfume and other scents that combined to make one strong essence she left wherever she went. She placed her hand on his strong chest and left it there for a while.
"Why don't we get some lunch before we have to be back" she said in an alluring tone hoping to catch his attention.
Stefan didn't think much of it. Rebekah was just being Rebekah. She was a harmless flirt with a huge heart made of gold.
"We?" He asked raising an eyebrow at her. He wasn't adamant about getting lunch, but them coming back together raised come curiosity in him.
"I work here, much like you. Nik didn't say?" Rebekah said trailing her hand across his chest and down his bicep until she let her hand fall back down to her side.
"No I guess he failed to mention it. So, how about that lunch?" Stefan asked with a smile as he turned to walk out of the building.

"Elena I can't see him, no. I can't do it" Katherine reasoned as she sat in the ice cream parlor and shoved a spoon full of ice cream in her mouth.
Elena sighed as she put the spoon down, "Kat, come on. I know he misses you and I know you miss him. He'll be happy to see you." Elena said trying to convince Katherine, for the umpteenth time to come and visit Stefan.
"I cussed him out and stormed off on him. I was a bitch." Katherine said with a little pout forming on her lips before she took another bite of her ice cream.
"You were mad, Stefan will understand that. Why don't you just come with me and if it really doesn't work out, then I'll come back to Mystic Falls with you." Elena proposed.
"I'll bring Damon with me then. No need for me to spoil your time with him. You must miss him" Katherine said speculating a bit. Elena wasn't one to mope around and complain but you could tell that she missed him.
"Yeah, bring Damon. The boys can hang out a bit too. I do, miss him. It's hard not seeing him around everywhere." Elena mentioned as she began to play with her ice cream.
Katherine smiled, she was glad that Stefan had someone who genuinely cared and loved him. Stefan deserved someone special, and if that someone special was Elena, then she would support him.
"Just a couple more days until Friday" Katherine smirked as Elena blushed and looked down. Elena really missed him and it had only been a couple of days, yet she couldn't wait until Friday.

The week went by excruciatingly slow for Elena but by the time Friday came around, she was a giggling mess. She couldn't stop smiling and thinking about seeing Stefan.
As she sat in front of Damon's apartment she decided to give Stefan a call letting him know that they would be there in a couple of hours, once Katherine would come out of her dungeon.
She sat there patiently hearing the phone ring, her heart was beating faster than usual as she waited for an answer.
"Hello?" answered a high pitched, British accented, bubbly voice.
Elena quickly took the phone away from her ear to look at the screen. Yup, she had called Stefan, but who just picked up his phone?
"Hellooooo?" The voice sounded as Elena held the phone in front of her face. Reluctantly she brought the phone back to her ear.
"Hi, is this Stefan's phone?" Elena asked with a bit of a bite, but not too rudely. It's not like she knew who this was.
"Indeed it is, and I'm speaking to?" The British voice asked, trailing off waiting for Elena to respond back to her.
"Is Stefan there?" Elena asked trying not to let her brain go too crazy over speculating about who this woman was.
"Indeed, but he's a bit preoccupied at the moment, I think he just jumped into the shower." She responded from the other side.
Elena deadpanned for a second. Jumped in the shower? So this woman was in his apartment? The apartment they picked out together.
"Who am I speaking to?" Elena asked, now with a bit more determination now that she had a little bit of context to the situation.
"Rebekah, speaking. I apologize, I didn't mention my name earlier. Well, Stefan is busy at the moment, but I'll let him know you called. However I cannot guarantee that he'll be totally free later on, as well. Bye now." Rebekah said before she hung the phone up on Elena.
Elena quickly locked her phone as she saw Katherine approach her car with a duffel bag filled up with some of her belongings.
"I just called Stefan." Elena said when Katherine sat in the car. Katherine looked over at her as she shut the door.
"Okay, that's great! Did you tell him I'm coming with?" Katherine asked as she buckled up her seat belt.
"Not exactly," Elena said, before she continued, "Some girl picked up his phone and told me he was in the shower…" Elena said spitefully.
"Pardon?" Katherine asked almost baffled that Stefan would have another girl in his apartment while he was in a relationship and while he was showering.
"Yeah. I don't know who it is. She has a British accent, though," Elena said starting the car. "She sounded like a smug little bitch. Who the hell was she?" Elena said jealously as she checked her rearview mirror before pulling out of the parking.
Katherine smiled, "British accent? Probably Rebekah." Katherine mused as she looked at her nails and made herself comfortable for the two hour ride up there.
Elena turned to look at Katherine with a face that screamed she wasn't amused at the moment.
"What?" Katherine asked innocently. "I just told you who she was." Katherine said defending herself.
"And who is Rebekah?" Elena asked as she spat out her name at the end of her question.
"Just a friend of his. She's actually Nik's sister." Katherine informed Elena as she drove down the road.
Elena loosened up a little. If it was Nik's sister, then surely he wouldn't do anything with her? Wait, who was she kidding? She trusted Stefan, a lot, but she wasn't sure if she trusted this Rebekah. She didn't let it bother her though, she loved him and he loved her. Simple.
"Whatever," Elena said, "Where's Damon?" She continued to ask Katherine.
"He's already there. I think he wants to rent a hotel room, so he told me to meet him at the hotel." Katherine said.
"Why do you want a hotel? Stefan has a guest room." Elena said a tad confused at their decision.
"Well, A) I don't want to sleep while you and Stefan are going at it like rabbits, and B) I'm loud." Katherine said nonchalantly.
Elena didn't know whether or not to blush or laugh at Katherine's comments. So she just giggled and kept her attention on the road.
"Whatever you say, Kat." Elena mumbled as she silently accelerated.

Stefan just got out of the shower with his towel draped around his waist exposing his delicious body and abs.
Rebekah sat silently on his bed playing Candy Crush as she waited for Stefan to come out of the bathroom, and he eventually did.
"Bex, really? My room? After I gave you my guest room to claim as yours?" Stefan said as he picked up a pair of briefs from his drawer and took his clothes into the bathroom to get changed. Rebekah would not get up.
"Someone called for you." Rebekah said without interest as she kept on playing on her phone.
"Who?" Stefan asked as he walked back into the room wearing grey jeans paired with a white shirt, as he ran a towel through his hair real quick.
"Eleanor? Elise? Eliza? Lena? Something of the sort." She said not looking up from her phone to even bother looking at Stefan.
Stefan walked over the Rebekah, took the phone out of her hand, and threw it across the room, making it land straight in his laundry basket.
"Don't be playing Candy Crush while you're talking to me. And it's Elena, her name is Elena." Stefan said making sure Rebekah got it.
"Yes, yes. Elena, got it. Who is this Elena girl? I didn't like her tone." Rebekah said narrowing her eyes as she waited for Stefan to answer.
"Elena is my girlfriend." Stefan said looking down at his feet before he moved to sit down by her feet. He scratched the back of his neck as a wide smile spread across his face.
"Girlfriend?" Rebekah asked in a voice that Stefan couldn't really recognize. Though he could have sworn it was disappointment.
"Yeah," Stefan said softly. "She's amazing, that one. I met her 4 months ago in Mystic Falls." Stefan explained.
Rebekah moved from her position to sit beside Stefan, their knees touching as she took her place. Rebekah smiled at him slowly. Sure she was disappointed, but if this girl made Stefan as happy as it seems to make him, just by mentioning her, then she was happy.
"You seem happy." Rebekah remarked in a much quieter, less snarkier tone that she usually communicates with.
"Very," Stefan said grinning like an idiot now, at Rebekah. Stefan was excited to see Elena and he couldn't wait for her to get there.
"Why didn't you tell me? We've been hanging out for a week, now." Rebekah said swinging her feet back and forth above the ground.
"I just didn't want to bring up something I knew that would hurt you…" Stefan said quietly.
"Stef, I think you're hot, I'm not in love with you." She laughed as his silliness. Rebekah moved closer to Stefan to lay a small kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you for caring about me though." Rebekah said as she moved to get up off the bed.
"I'm gonna be heading out. I promised Nik I would take him out for a couple of drinks tonight. Why don't you come with?" Rebekah asked.
"No, you guys go ahead. Elena is supposed to be coming down tonight with Damon." Stefan explained as he got up and followed Rebekah as she walked to the door.
"I must meet this Elena that has my Stefan so smitten. See you later babe." Rebekah said as she left Stefan standing in his living room.

Elena pulled up into the visitor parking spot in Stefan's building as she let out a huge puff of air. She was really tired after having come straight after school to Cherishwood. She had dropped off Katherine at the hotel where Damon was waiting for her, and was told that they would meet up again the next day.
Elena got out of the car pulling her bag with her as she swung it over her shoulder and made her way into the building.
When she was standing in front of the Stefan's door she could smell his cooking and now she was beyond excited to see him.
She opened the door quietly and slowly as she tried to sneak in and give him a surprise. Stefan has his Bon Iver vinyl playing softly as he stood with his back to the door in the kitchen.
Elena smiled at the scene in front of her. She loved it when Stefan would cook for her. He was beyond perfect.
Elena quietly tip toed to where Stefan was standing reached up on her tippy toes to place an open mouthed, sensual kiss on his neck.
Stefan let his eyes slip close as he felt her lips come in contact with his neck. Elena set his hair on end and with her presence came the electricity that flowed through them both.
"That feels good." Stefan said with his eyes still closed as he gently swayed a bit to the music in the background.
"Yeah?" Elena asked as she trailed more sensual kisses down his neck as her hands roamed his broad shoulders and came to rest on the V of his hips where his abs ended.
Stefan turned around in her arms with his eyes still closed. Elena looked at him in wonder as he took a gulp of air from the proximity of the two. He hadn't seen her in a little over a week and he was beyond excited to have three days with her.
Stefan opened his eyes to look at Elena with lust and appreciation as she pressed her hips closer to Stefan's, allowing him to widen his eyes just a little before he effortlessly and roughly crashed his lips down onto hers.
Elena quickly responded to the shift in his mood as their lips moved fast and sensually against each other, moaning and panting all while they were attached together. Stefan's hands moved from around her hips to be placed in her soft brown hair, as her hands moved at the back of his neck, angling his mouth for better access.
Elena was the first one to pull away so she could get some air, but Stefan didn't stop. He just moved his kisses down her neck as he grabbed her thighs, lifting her up around his torso so she could hang onto him like a koala. A sexy koala, he thought.
Elena gripped his head full of hair and pulled it back before he made himself comfortable with her neck.
"Hi." She whispered against his ear as he walked her to the couch in his living room and laid her down before draping his body across hers. Stefan left no room between their bodies as they were touching from chest to toe.
"Hey." Stefan said as he brought his hands underneath her shirt and slipped his rough hands over her body, lifting the fabric as he went further up her olive body.
"How was school?" Elena asked breathlessly as she lifted her body up so Stefan could get her shirt off. Stefan pulled back a little to drink in the sight of her half naked on his couch, with her hair splayed out around her, her lips red and swollen from the intensity of his loving.
"Not bad." Stefan said before Elena grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him hard, getting a bit impatient with the way Stefan was hungrily looking at her, but not doing anything.
Elena let her hands drift along his hard muscled body until she placed them on his lower back. She detached her lips to reach up and hotly whisper in his ear, "Take this off."
Stefan, quickly rid himself of his shirt and brought his body back down to hers, but before they made contact, Elena put her hands on his chest reveling in the feel of his torso.
"Have you been working out?" Elena asked as she let his lips fall on his collarbone, sucking hotly before her hands drifted down to his belt getting it undone, but leaving them on.
"Yeah, I have." Stefan got out, a bit distracted with the way Elena was trailing her tongue against his chest and neck, alternating between her lips and teeth.
"Mmm, I love it." Elena said in a hoarse sultry whisper before Stefan reached down to unzip her jeans and toss them across the living room.
Stefan brought his lips to her shoulder as he kissed down to her arm, across her chest, up her right shoulder and neck, back to her lips.
"I made us dinner." Stefan got out as their lips were still connected, breathlessly. Stefan bit down on her lower lip pulling it down as Elena whimpered at the neediness of the moment. They hadn't seen each other in a week, and they hadn't made love in over 2 weeks. Needless to say, they had needs that needed serious attending to.
"Are you hungry?" Elena asked as her hands went down to his ass giving it a tiny squeeze before she pulled down his jeans and taking them off to toss them in the same direction that her jeans went in.
"Starving." He answered as he put his hands underneath her and lifted her up to take her into his bedroom.
Elena giggled as he uncoordinatedly brought them into his room, struggling to hold her, kiss her and walk to his room.
"I missed you." She said sincerely, placing a hand on his cheek wanting to slow things down a little as he placed her on his bed.
Stefan smiled at her softly and reached forward to place a gentle kiss to her forehead, which was a great contrast to the needy atmosphere surrounding them.
"I love you." Stefan said before placing a kiss on her cheek as he brought his hand down to hers and intertwined them, holding them both above her head.
Stefan lowered his body to hers and there was zero space between the two. Where he ended, she started, and their chests rose and fell in synchronization as they intimately shared a moment of silence just looking at each other.
"What happened to the rough needs of earlier?" Elena teased as she moved her hips against his making him press his hips harder down onto hers to limit her movements.
"They're all still there…" Stefan said in a deep husky voice as he reached behind Elena to take off her bra, letting them finally come in contact with each other.
Elena hummed in appreciation as she felt the contact she was waiting for.
"Are we gonna christen the apartment in the same rough manner?" Elena asked as she quickly flipped them over to straddle Stefan.
Elena was gaining more confidence in the bedroom with Stefan, and it was very sexy. Elena began placing open mouthed kisses down his neck, over his pecs, down his abs as she traced the cuts with her tongue.
Stefan looked down at her movement and hissed at the feel of her hands and tongue against his body.
Elena didn't stop and she continued on downwards coming face to face with his sexy V cut as she traced that too, with her tongue.
"Elena," Stefan got out in a strained voice before Elena bit down on the skin there getting a little moan from Stefan.
Elena laughed sexily as she slid back up his body and traced his lips with her tongue before Stefan caught it with his teeth, letting themselves mold into one.

Elena sat on the counter in the kitchen in her bra and underwear, Stefan sat beside her in his briefs as they ate and talked about everything they could think about.
Elena was eating her ice cream as Stefan got up to place his bowl in the sink. He walked back towards Elena and caught her staring at him and he smiled.
"Like what you see?" Stefan teased as he came back to Elena and stood in between her legs watching the ice cream drip off her spoon and into her thigh.
Stefan quickly bent down and licked it up, getting Elena to close her eyes and revel in the feel on his mouth on her. Her senses were still in overdrive from their previous love making.
"I love it." Elena said when Stefan brought himself back up to place a kiss on her waiting lips.
"I'm glad you're here." Stefan said rubbing his hands up and down her thighs as she placed the bowl down and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Me too, I really missed you. So did Katherine." Elena said as she looked into his green eyes.
"Kat? I thought she was still mad at me. She didn't return any of my texts or calls." Stefan explained feeling a bit disappointed. He didn't want to fight with her, because he hated it.
"Well we shall see about that." Elena said sleepily as she yawned against his shoulder as she threw her hands around his neck.
"Carry me to bed. You tired me out, tonight." Elena said with a knowing smirk as Stefan lifted her up and took him into his room, placing her under the covers before he climbed in himself.
"You tired me out too. Who knew you could do that thing with your mouth." Stefan said a bit ambiguously, attempting to save her the embarrassment.
But much to his surprise, Elena rolled over to lay on his chest before whispering in his ear, "There's a lot more where that came from."
Stefan groaned as he closed his eyes, "You better go to sleep before I take you for another round." Stefan said jokingly.
"Goodnight, baby." Elena said as she snuggled into him and placed a kiss on his chest.
"I love you." Stefan said before he moved to turn off his table light. He made himself comfortable and drifted to sleep in the arms of the woman he loved.
