"So let me get this straight." Damon says with narrowed eyes, sitting on the couch and staring at his brother who's pacing around the room. "Our beloved mother and her crazy friends threaten to kill your girlfriend after we killed one of them, and yet, you let her go to the lion's Den? Nice move brother."
Stefan manages to keep it together and instead of throwing the vase next to him in his brother way, he just closes his eyes and runs his hand over his face.
"We put this plan yesterday; I didn't have much time to tell her about what happened today with Lily, which means that she doesn't even know that they want her."
"Still nice move."
"Do you think I'd let her go there if I knew it was dangerous?" He's walking to him now, arms flying in the air as he loses his patience.
"Even if today didn't happen, why would you let your girlfriend go near them?" Damon asks in cold voice as he stretches his legs on the table ahead of him.
"Do you know Caroline at all? Of course I tried to convince her. And she's not my girlfriend by the way, so it's not like I get to tell her what to do and what not to do." Stefan shouts without breathing.
"Life can be tough." Damon winks at him. "Listen, just relax, you said that the house didn't explode so maybe she didn't go." He shrugs as he takes another sip from his bottle.
"Then why isn't she answering my phone calls?"
Again, Damon just shrugs.
"You know what? I'm gonna go look for her; this isn't working." He says as he takes his jacket and heads to the door.
"But Bonnie is doing the locator spell." Damon argues.
He ignores him and opens the door, only to find Bonnie in front of him.
"Hey." She says.
But he doesn't hear her, all what he senses is Caroline's presence, standing right behind Bonnie with a smile.
He practically shoves Bonnie aside as he walks to Caroline.
"I'm sorry, Matt was hurt and I-" She doesn't get to complete when he hugs her. Hands wrapped around her and almost squeezing her. He buries his head in her hair with closed eyes, taking her scent in.
She is completely startled from his move. She looks at Bonnie and Damon and finds them smiling as they stand next to each other. She tries to ignore their teasing smiles but they're right. Stefan is making a scene, it's completely adorable but still.
Her hands go up and hugs him back. Rubbing slowly against him, assuring him that she's here, with him.
"Stefan." She whispers.
He only sighs.
But then he's kissing her neck. Her mouth opens slightly in surprise. But she doesn't move. Then his mouth is moving to her jaw as he pulls away slowly, not really since his mouth isn't leaving her skin.
Her fingers go deeper into his shirt as he kisses her cheek and stays there for a while before finally pulling away. His face is only inches away from her, eyes staring at her own then going down for her lips.
Her heart skips a beat then, she's surprised from his attitude but she's more surprised that she doesn't want him to stop.
She stares at him and waits.
He leans in, noses already brushing and it's then when she closes her eyes. Her hands still holding his shoulder while his own are still holding her waist. She feels his breath against her skin, and she can already feel his lips close to hers.
But then she feels his lips on her forehead, staying there for too long.
He pulls away then. And after few seconds they open their eyes. Back to the shy smiles and looking away.
"Get a room." Damon says from behind and Bonnie nudges him in the elbow, even thou she is laughing herself.
