Chapter fourteen.
Elena's POV.
My body aches everywhere, my head feels as I went into a steamroller. I try to open my eyes and finally when I arrive to open them, I hear Stefan talking. But his voice is far away from here. He is talking about The kiss, I remember it like it was yesterday.
It's been four months since I'm in Paris and I still think of Stefan every night. I go everyday at Montmartre in case we dump into each other again. But luck isn't with me, I didn't see him again.
I stay at the Résidence Le Vandome, it's a residence for students. Tonight I go out with Melanie and Raphael, I met them at gym. Melanie is petite blond, curly hair and beautiful blue eyes, she helps me visiting Paris and teach me French. I'm proud of me because I can understand everything but not really talk. Raphael is good looking, grand, brown with hazel eyes, he is nice and I think that Raphael has a thing for me but I have not interest in him even if he is not bad.
"You're ready ?" Melanie asks me when I leave the bathroom.
"I'm just with my panties and bra, and you think that I'm ready ?!"
"Say that in French." she winks at me.
"Je suis juste avec ma culotte et mon soutient gorge, et tu penses que je suis prête ? Ça te vas ?" I say and she claps her hands together.
"Bravo ! Tu as fait beaucoup de progrès depuis que tu es arrivée." she says and I understand immediately that I do a lot of progress since I'm here.
"Merci beaucoup, sweetie." I say and search in my closet something to wear because it's my last party tonight, I'm leaving for New York in two days.
"What do you think of this ?" I ask and tend her a bustier black dress with flowers, she clasps my waist and fit me perfectly. I lost weight since I'm here but I feel good more than ever before.
"Elle te va super bien, chérie." I blush and apply a little of make up.
"Vous êtes prêtes, girls ?" Raphael asks when he opens the door. "Tu es magnifique, Elena." he says sweetly and kiss me on my cheek.
"Thank you, you are not bad yourself." I respond and we leave for the bar "Show Case" to celebrate my last night.
I drink at least four Mojitos and my head hurts like hell, I need some fresh air. "Mel, I go outside just for few minutes.." I say to her when I leave the dance floor.
I see Raphael next to me and walks with me outside. "Tu vas bien ?" he asks me and I nod my head.
"Yes, I just need you air." I say and he is too close to me. "What are you doing ?"
"Je veux t'embrasser, j'attend ça depuis des mois, please.." he says and I feel his breath on my lips and I don't want him to touch me like that.
"No, Raph. Don't do that, please.." I say and try to push him away from me but he is too strong.
When I feel a little bit of his lips on my lips, someone pushes him in the face and he falls on the ground.
"What the fuck ?" he asks and I turn around to face my savior. I gasp when I see that it's him, the man of my dreams with his beautiful green eyes like forest.
"Qui es tu ?" Raphael asks and Stefan turns to him.
"Elle est avec moi, ne l'a touche plus jamais comme ça où sinon tu vas avoir affaire à moi." he says through his clenched teeth.
"Thank you.." I whisper and feel like everything revolves around me. Stefan grabs me by my waist and pulls me against him.
Raph gets up and walks towards the bar without another glance to me.
"You okay ?" he asks concern in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm just about to pass out.." I say and feel like I'm in his arms, I wrap my arms around his neck.
I jump when I realize that I didn't tell Mel that I leave. "I have to tell Melanie that I leave otherwise she will worried about me.." I murmur and try to get out of his arms but he holds me tightly against him.
"Taylor, go tell Miss. Dupont that I take her in my hotel." he says and hear footsteps behind me.
"I have to see her myself, she doesn't even know him." I explain and try again to get out of his grip but I can't.
"He knows her, they know each other.." he murmurs in my ear and I shiver course through my body.
"Why I didn't know ?" I ask angrily.
"Because they didn't see each other since four or five years."
"Oh okay.." I say and begin to see stars in front of me.
"Elena ! Elena stay with me !" I hear Stefan talking to me and I pass out.
I wake up with a little headache and completely disoriented. I'm a bed that I don't know with sheets and blankets that probably cost more than my pay in a small boutique. I notice that I'm only in my t shirt and panties, where is my pants and my jacket ?
I hear water running in the bathroom adjacent and try to remember what happened last night. Yeah, right. Raphael tried to kiss me and Stefan saves me. Stefan ! Where is he ? And where he sleeps ?
The bathroom door open and a hot Stefan appears naked except for a towel around his waist. He is so fucking hot with his wet hair and I want you much to kiss his chest muscle with his 'V'. My mouth is watering from this view.
"You sleep well ?" he asks and a shake my head clearing my thoughts.
"Yes.. where did you sleep ?" I ask softly and pulls the blanket over my legs.
"In my bed," he winks at me and brushes his lips against my ear before whispering "Next to you.."
I blush at yesterday night, sleeping next him and I didn't even remember ! Dammit Elena, don't drink like last night ever again !
"Breakfast is ready in the dinning room, for us. But you can shower or take a bath first if you want, there are fresh towels and body wash." he says and wait for my answer, locking his eyes with mine. They are so intense that I have to remember to breath because he takes my breath away.
"I will shower." I whisper.
"There are clothes for you too because you threw up on your jacket and pants." he says and walks away before I can say anything else.
I enter in the bathroom and gasp because it's as big as my room. There is a shower with a variety of jets, bodies wash. There is also a bath tub egg shaped, with essential oils on the side. I take a shower and the warn water relaxes me, a wash myself with Stefan's body wash and he smells like him. I shake my head to clear my thoughts, I will never see him again so stop thinking about him.
I dry myself with a fresh towel and put on the clothes. There are a jean, with a fluid t shirt black which fit perfectly. How he knows my size ?
I finish to prepare myself and leave bathroom. I find the living room if I can call it like that because it's vast with a couch in form of L white and several armchairs white too, a large table with eight chairs. And at the end of the table, Stefan eating and reading business newspaper. He looks up at me and smiles at me. I blush and smile back at him.
"I didn't know what you eat for breakfast for I take a bit of everything." he says and I sit in a chair.
"Thank you." I whisper and take pancakes with syrup and a fruit salad.
"It's all you eat ?" he asks angrily I think.
"Yes, I don't eat much." I respond defending myself. He affects me so much, it's like if he can reads my mind and when he looks at me, his gaze is so intense that I feel like I'm naked in front of him.
"You have to eat more." he says and before I can respond he is next to me.
"I'm not hungry.." I mumbles and pick a banana in my fruit salad. He lifts my chin, so he can look in my eyes.
"Did you eat last night ?" he asks me and caress my cheek softly.
I know that I didn't eat because I finish at the boutique. "That's what I thought." he says and I'm lost in his beautiful forest eyes.
"You have to eat more than that and I'll go with you to your residence." he says and feel disappointed to have to leave him. I feel so alive with him, so safe and so me. It's feel so right to be next to him.
"Oh okay." I find my voice and continue to eat. He gets up and kisses my forehead longer than necessary. "I'll brush my teeth, baby." he says in my ear and I feel a shiver running down my spine.
We wait for the elevator after I finish my breakfast. His hand on my small back, goosebumps appear all over my body. We enter and we are alone, the atmosphere changes when doors close. The elevator go down and we hear a noise and we don't descend anymore. It is blocked between two floor, dammit it ! I can't be blocked with the man of my dream.
Electricity even more present invaded it and pulls us towards each other. I look at him and blush when he looks at me with a predatory gaze. The tension between us radiates in waves the air getting hotter and thicker by the second.
And before I can think clearly, I feel my back hit the elevator wall and his lips on mine. His mouths devours mine, I moan slightly and I open my mouth granting his tongue access. I moves my hands up and slides them into his hair gripping tightly at the nape of my neck. He groans and our tongues move faster and faster. I moan and he starts to kiss my neck, my collarbone.
We here the ping of the elevator and he pulls away for me breathless Finally, it's blocked . An other couple enter in the elevator and he pulls me against me when we wait for arrive at the ground floor. I put my head in the crook of his neck and inhale his incredible scent. "Your lips are so soft." he whispers in my ear. I smile and kiss his neck.
"Baby, baby.. you okay ?" Stefan whispers and kisses me on my lips.
"I'm here.. its hurt in my head and ribs too." I mumble and open my eyes.
"Thank god, I thought I had lost you. I will call a nurse." he says and kisses my knuckles softly.
"You... you can't be here.." I say because John and Katherine will come after Ella and him.
"Of course, I can baby." he says with worried eyes.
"He took her, he took our baby girl, I have to find her.." I start to get up but he pushes me gently in the bed.
"You save her, Ella is fine don't worry." he says and sits in the bed next to me.
"It's true ?" I say with tears in my eyes.
"Yes, of course and they have been arrested. Detective James waits to talk to you about what happened." he says and I know that he is hiding something.
"What are you not telling me ?" I ask and he closes his eyes sighing.
"Why you know me so well ?" he asks and kisses my forehead.
"Because I love you." I reply simply.
"I can't tell you, now. The doctor will come soon to see you, okay ?" he asks and I know that he won't tell me.
Stefan call a nurse and doctor Smith enters in the room within ten minutes.
"How are you Miss Gilbert ?" he asks me and shakes Stefan's hand.
"My head hurts and my ribs too." I say and wince when he touch a little my ribs. Stefan claps my hand and caress my palm slowly.
"I will give you painkillers and don't move except if this is required, okay ?" I nod and hold back my tears. He turns towards Stefan and asks "Did you tell her ?" he shakes his head.
"No, wanted to know if we could hear you know ?" he asks without telling him what he is talking about.
"Of course. Kate please." he turns around to the nurse, Kate. She nods and leave the room. Doctor check my bandage on my head. Kate returns with a fetal doppler. I turn my eyes towards Stefan and he smiles at me with his shy smile.
"Okay, Elena you are ready ?" Doctor Smith asks and I nod tearfully.
He puts it in motion and the room filled with a heartbeat. I feel tears running down my face and Stefan wipes them away. He kisses my forehead and when I look at Dr. Smith, he has an expression weird on his face.
"What's going on ?" I ask worried.
"I hear two heartbeats." he murmurs and watches the monitor.
"It's normal, Elena's heart and the baby heart ?" Stefan says worried too.
"When I count Elena's heart, there are three heartbeats." he says and watches again the monitor, Kate looks too and nods towards the Dr.
"We are having twins ?" Stefan asks smiling even more.
"Yes, Mr. Salvatore. Congratulations, both of you." he says. He talks with Kate but I don't listen, I think of our babies inside of me.
"Can I keep the fetal doppler a little longer ?" I ask.
"Of course, Kate will take it off in a while." Doctor Smith tells me and leaves the room with Kate.
"Thank you, thank you so much, baby." Stefan whispers and brushes my lips against mine. He places his hands on my belly and I place mine on his, intertwined our hands.
"I love you." I say and he kisses me sweetly, showering me all his love.
