When Rachel got tired, during the party, Tyler drove her home and walked her to her door. When she turned to kiss him, he decided to try and get things a little further than they usually did.

She stopped him.

She didn't look too mad, she gently pushed him away with a soft smile on her face, saying no with her head.

He sighted.

He should have known it was pointless…

"Why?" He asked her, not backing off just yet.

"I'm just not ready okay… I need some time!" She replied, never parting with her enchanting smile.

"Okay… Well, I'll let you go to bed… Good night!" He told her before he kissed her once more on the lips and drove back to his house.

.

The next day, Tyler walked into the Grill, hoping to find some distraction while Matt spent the afternoon with his mother, hoping to get her to leave town when she realised that he didn't need her and that she just wasn't cut to be a mother.

Strangely, there weren't many people at the Grill. He could see Mister Salzmann at the bar, Elena and Stefan playing pool, Jeremy arguing with a small brunette… He decided to go and see what it was about first because it was entertaining and second because he liked to see Jeremy Gilbert mad.

"What going on here Jeremy?" He asked.

"Tyler… None of your business! We're done here anyway!" Jeremy said before he left, without the girl.

"You' okay there?" Tyler asked her.

"Yeah… It's fine… I guess I just wanted too much too soon! I'm Anna by the way!" She told him with an adorable sad smile.

"I'm Tyler… You need anything?" He asked her.

"You could buy me a drink and spend some time with me…I'm tired of being lonely…" She said, looking him in the eyes, compelling him.

"Sure, I have nothing else to do right now…" He said.

They played some pool and drank and even ate a little. Anna was compelling him to be interested in her and to really want to have sex with her and she knew it wouldn't be long before he gave in. Being a founding family member, she was surprised that she was able to compell him when she couldn't do it on jeremy but she figured his parents might put the vervain in something he didn't drink or eat...

.

Rachel was done with everything she needed to do at the house and decided she wanted to spend some time with Tyler. They needed to talk about the fact that he wanted to go further and that she wasn't ready to have sex just yet… It was obviously something he had done already and needed but she just couldn't right now… It was too soon into the relationship and every time she would consider it, images of Jesse throwing eggs at her would come back in her mind.

"Where are you going Rachel?" Her father asked her as she walked down the stairs with her purse.

"Tyler was planning to hang at the Grill, I'm going to go and try and talk to him… Explain why I'm not ready to take it to the next step…" she said.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you! Your new History teacher is there and just left me a message on my cell phone… He wants to talk about our ancestor Damon Salvatore… He said he knows what he is…"

"What you are you mean…"

"We'll see… Come, I'll drive you!" He said.

.

When they arrived, Tyler was nowhere in sight. Damon walked up to Mister Salzmann while Rachel went in the corridor where the bathrooms were. She figured if he wasn't in the Grill she would catch him as he left the bathrooms…

As she neared the corridor, she could hear moans and as soon as she stepped inside, she couldn't help but turn in the direction of the noises to see that Tyler had his pants down and was having sex, right there, with a small brunette. He was holding her against the wall while her legs were around him.

Anna

The girl was Anna… The one her father warned her about…

"Tyler?" Rachel breathed out in a broken voice.

Her voice was barely audible, just above a whisper but it was enough to break their action and for Tyler to walk away and quickly pull his pants up saying:

"Rach, baby…It's not what you think… I… I was just…"

"I think I know perfectly well what that was…" Rachel whispered, tears running down her cheeks.

"Hey, I'm Anna!" The girl said, earning a glare from Tyler.

"Oh, I know who you are!" Rachel spat before turning away and running out of the Grill.

"Rachel, babe wait!" He yelled after her.

"Don't… We're over Tyler… I… I can't do this right now…" She said before running out of the Grill.

Next chapter we have some Damon and Alaric and then Damon and Rachel and Damon and Tyler...
