Hey guys! I didn't realize I had so many grammar mistakes until I read through it after all three chapters were published. I'm so sorry about that by the way. I hope you enjoy this update!

Elena's POV

When we got back to our apartment, I showered quickly and got changed into regular jean shorts and a blue V-neck long sleeve shirt. I saw Katherine making something in the microwave. "Hey," I said.

I sat at the island waiting for my lecture from her. I knew it was coming soon because she was tapping her finger on the counter. She does that when she's anxious. "When am I going to here it?" She asked not facing me. "When am I going to hear 'you were right, Katherine. I was being a wuss, I'm sorry.'" She asked turning to me.

I shook my head. "You were right, Kat." I said. I wasn't going to say the rest because I really don't want to admit that about myself.

She shook her head. "I told you." She said. "I told you. And guess what. You fucking rocked it out there." She said.

I laughed. "Thanks, Kat." I said. Suddenly I got a text saying that Stefan was here and was going to come up. I decided to walk down there and meet him instead. "I have to go. I'll see you later, Kat." I said and walked out.

I decided to take the steps instead because it was faster. I walked out and saw him walking into the building just as I was coming out. He looked up and saw me and smiled. "Hey there, beautiful." He said.

I blushed from the nickname. "Hi," I said stepping front of his. I saw him wearing a long sleeve shirt that he rolled up to his elbow and showing off his forearm and I almost fainted right then and there.

He pulled me into him and kissed me. I laid my hands on his chest as he tilted me a little backwards kissing me. He pulled away and smirked at me. "Let's go." He said taking my hand.

He opened the door for me and helped me in his lifted truck.

•••••••••••••••••

Stefan's POV

We got to my secret little place that overlooked the Hollywood sign. I helped her out and saw her face look at the scenery in awe. "Oh my god." She whispered. "It's beautiful." She said. She took out her phone and held it up to take a picture. "I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm a photo freak." She said.

I laughed. "It's fine." I said. She stepped down and I closed the door behind her. I led her to a little hill and we sat down still holding hands. "This is my thinking place. I come out here every night before a competition." I said.

She looked at me smiling. "That's nice." She said. I looked over at her. I couldn't help but just stare at her perfect smile, her glistening brown eyes and tiny, button nose. I lightly put my hand on her cheek and brought her face closer to me kissing her.

It felt right kissing her. It felt right holding her hand. It felt right to just be with her. That's why I had to ask her this question that was burning in the back of my head. I pulled away from her and took my hand off her cheek. "I have to ask you something." I said.

She nodded. "Go ahead." She said squeezing my hand. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and blushed again.

I smiled. "Elena Gilbert." I started. She smiled at me. "Would you be my girlfriend?" I said but all of a sudden we heard a big boom. We looked over and there were fireworks shooting off from the Hollywood sign. Elena turned her head and admired them. I rolled my eyes annoyed because she was about to answer.

I didn't notice she looked at me again. "Yes. I will." She said loudly over the fireworks. I smiled widely at her and kissed her as one of the fireworks was shot in the sky.

The fireworks went off for another hour and Elena and I sat there. Her head was on my shoulder and it was the best feeling in the world.

••••••••••••••••••

Elena's POV

After the fireworks, Stefan asked if I wanted to go back to his place. I obviously said yes and then we left and drove to his apartment. Nik wasn't home tonight because he was with his girlfriend. That's what Stefan told me.

We walked in and I looked around. It was nice place. We walked further in and there were high ceilings and big windows that let in the natural light. Except it was dark by now so there wasn't much. "Do you want anything to drink?" He asked. "I have red and white wine, bourbon, whiskey, tequila," He listed off.

I smirked. "So far you just named alcohol." I said with a giggle. He smiled and looked down at his feet.

He looked back up at me shrugging. "Nik lives here too so," He said with a laugh. I laughed as well.

"I'll have a glass of white wine." I said answering his question. He nodded and kissed me before going into the kitchen.

I walked around looking at all the things on the shelves and walls. I saw a picture of him and Nik all sweaty. It looked like they were on a soccer field. Nik's arm was around Stefan's neck. It looked like he was in a headlock but they were both smiling widely.

I smiled at the picture and was really excited to see that Stefan. "That was from senior year." I heard behind me. I turned to face him. He handed me my glass of wine. "Our team won the state championships and was ranked number 4 in the state." He said.

I nodded. "Wow. That's cool." I said. "How long did you know Nik?" I asked. We were still standing in the middle of his apartment. Well, condo actually.

He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Too long." I laughed. "He's been my best friend since we were in fourth grade. That's when he moved here from England." He said. "We didn't meet in school though," He said. I was confused. "We met when he joined my soccer team. It was an elite club team and he's from England and the coaches for British so they were like, 'Yeah, he's good', without even seeing him play." Stefan said laughing.

I raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?" I asked. That's a little messed up if I do say so myself.

He shook his head. "No. Well, sort of. I don't know." He said as he kept changing his mind. "But yeah, we started playing soccer together and then realized that we were going to school together and connected instantly." He told me.

I smiled. "That reminds me of Katherine and I." I said. "Except we have been friends since birth." I told him.

He nodded. "And you guys are still best friends now," He said. I nodded. "That's nice." He said.

I nodded again. It was silent for a while. "So, want to show me around?" I asked smirking. He nodded and took my hand. He showed me all around the floor we were on. He had like two living rooms. Well, one was more of a den but still.

He led me to the staircases. "Upstairs is nothing. It's pretty much just storage. The bedrooms are downstairs." He said leading me down stairs. Right when we got down stairs we walked through double doors to the right and saw a big open bedroom in front of us.

I made an impressed face. "This is nice." I said. It was open and it had a nice window that probably let a lot of sunlight in for it being practically the basement.

"My bathroom and closet are in there, it's nothing special." He said. I laughed. I noticed that there was a fireplace with a flat screen right above it. Damn, Salvatore did well. "Down the hallway is Nick's room and since it's smaller, he get's his own little den over there." He said. I shrugged and laughed. "I actually want to show you something upstairs," He said taking my hand again.

He led me upstairs where in fact there was a lot of storage but then it came into this small room with a couch. There were sliding doors going out to a small deck. It overlooked the beach and you could see the faint pink color of the set sun that looks like it is connecting to the ocean. "This is so pretty." I said.

I heard him put his glass on the mini bar that was out there with three stools. I put my glass down too as he pulled me into him. I smirked. "Yeah," He said quietly. I could tell he wasn't talking about the view so I blushed. I decided to go in for the kiss because he was taking too long. I put my lips on his roughly.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my chest on his. His hands were low on my waist but I didn't really care. All of a sudden, I got the feeling that I wanted him. Badly.

I opened my mouth slightly and he took that chance to slip is tongue in my mouth. Now it was a heated make our session between us and I don't think either of us wanted it stop. Well, I knew I didn't.

I moved my hands down his chest and gripped his shirt. He pulled away. "You want to do this?" He asked quietly.

I bit my lip before answering. "Do you?" I asked instead. I saw a faint pink color go to his cheeks. He nodded lightly. "Yes," I whispered against his lips.

He smirked and picked me up, wrapping his legs around me. It was a struggle getting down both staircases but during that time we got our shoes off and his shirt so we were productive.

I felt myself being lowered on the bed and then I felt his lips on my neck. Katherine was going to kill me for not texting her on everything that happened but she will hopefully cut me some slack because I was kind of busy.

••••••••••••••••••••

I woke up with sunlight beating down on my face and a warm chest against my back. I smiled at the memory of last night. I slowly turned my body to face his and saw him sleeping peacefully. I started kissing his cheek and down his neck.

I knew he was awake because I felt him smirking against my shoulder. "Morning, boyfriend." I whispered in his ear.

He kissed my shoulder. "Good morning, beautiful." He said in a sexy morning voice. I don't think I will ever get tired of that name.

I smiled against his shoulder before kissing it and moving away to look at him in the face. His eyes were still closed and I smiled before kissing his lips. Suddenly I felt him flip me over kissing me. I let out a scream and a giggle.

Stefan smiled against my lips. "Do you want some breakfast?" He asked against my neck.

I laughed. "Of course." I said and he got up off of me. He slipped on his boxers before fully standing up. I started to put my bra and panties on when he threw me his t-shirt. "Thanks," I said as I slipped it on, and he put on a pair of sweatpants. Before we left the room I stopped. "Wait, is Nik home?" I asked. I really wasn't comfortable with him seeing me half naked with an oversize t-shirt.

He laughed and pulled me into him. "Trust me. When he's at his girlfriends, he's there for a solid two days because she steals his clothes so they can have more and more rounds of sex." He joked.

I laughed out loud. "Really?" I asked. He nodded. "I'm hungry," I said and rushed up the stairs before him.

I reached the kitchen and I felt him grab my waist from behind. I screamed as he tickled my sides. "Oh, good to know that you're ticklish." He said.

I grabbed his hands and pried them off my waist. "You're so mean!" I exclaimed while giggling.

He scoffed. "I'm the meanest." He said jokingly. We kissed once before he went to the stove and got a pan. "Do you like eggs?" He asked not looking at me.

I smiled while sitting up on the other counter. "My favorite." I said. He turned to me quickly and smirked. He started cooking the eggs and I smelled them instantly. I decided this would be a good time to get to know him more. "You like cooking?" I asked, swinging my legs that were hanging off the counter.

He nodded. "Mhm. I cook all the time. I'm the only reason why Nik isn't fat from take out food." He joked. I giggled. "Do you?" He asked.

I thought about it for a second. "Yeah, I guess." I said with a shrug. About twenty minutes later the eggs were ready and he brought the plates over to where I was sitting on the counter. They each went on either side of me.

He went in between my legs and we started eating them. Somehow it turned into how much can you tickle Elena before she peed her pants. I ended up off the counter with his hands still tickling me. We were laughing and kissing so much we didn't hear the door open and people walk inside.

Soon we heard someone clearing his or her throat and we broke apart instantly. I giggled into my hand as Stefan covered me with his body from Nik who we saw standing there with a girl. "Hey, mate. How's it going?" He asked.

I giggled into Stefan's chest. I looked over at the girl next to Nik and recognized her. Her eyes widened when she saw me and so did mine when I realized who she was. "Caroline!" I exclaimed.

She covered her mouth excitedly. "Elena Gilbert! Oh my god!" She exclaimed. I moved Stefan out of the way and ran to her. I threw my arms around her neck and she hugged me tightly around the waist. "It's been so freaking long, oh my god."

I laughed. "I know." I said hugging her closer. We pulled apart and saw Nik and Stefan looking very confused. "We went to high school together." I said clearing it up.

They nodded. "You and Kat went to college together, right?" She asked. I nodded. "And you guys still live here?" I nodded again.

"Yeah, we have an apartment not to far from here." I told her. She nodded with a huge smile. I felt Stefan come up from behind me and whisper something in my ear. My eyes widened surprised. I looked down and noticed that indeed, I was still in my underwear. "If you'll excuse me for just a second." I said moving away and taking the other way to get to Stefan's bedroom because Caroline and Nik were in the doorway.

I quickly put my shorts on from last night and decided to just put my shirt from last night on too. I walked back upstairs to them all sitting at the table in the dining room. I took a seat next to Stefan and he reached his arm around the back of the chair. "We were saying that we could all go get drinks tonight. And I really want to Katherine to come." Caroline said when I sat down.

I smiled widely. "Yes! But I really don't think she would be too happy with being the third," I stopped. "Well, fifth wheel." I said laughing.

Caroline nodded. "True." She said and started thinking. She suddenly perked up. I know that she hasn't changed at all. "Oh my god! Stefan! Your brother! He's single right?" She asked.

Stefan opened his mouth to say something but just nodded. "Uh, yeah. He is." He decided to say.

I looked over at Caroline again. "They would be the best couple!" She exclaimed. Caroline Forbes has definitely not changed one bit. "Call him!" She said to him.

Stefan's eyes widened. "I will. Later." He said sighing. We talked for a while before Stefan led me down to his room. "What do you want to do?" He asked taking both my hands in his.

I tilted my head toward him. "I'm sorry, but I have to go home. I have to change and convince Katherine to go on this blind date that is apparently happening." I told him.

He whined. "No. You can stay. Caroline probably has some clothes here." He said pulling me in closer.

I laughed. "I have to go. Katherine is probably pissed at me for not telling her I wasn't coming home. I'll see you tonight, though." I said kissing his lips.

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "I'll take you home then. Since you don't have a car here." He said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and pulled away from him as he went into his closet to get his clothes.

Soon we were walking out after saying bye to Caroline and Nik who were watching TV. When we got to my apartment, him being the gentleman he is, opened my door for me. "Thank you for driving me home," I said looking up at him.

He smiled at he leaned down to kiss me. "See you later, beautiful." He said and kissed me again before getting into his truck and driving away.

I smiled touching my lips before going into my building and making my way up to m apartment. I entered cautiously because Katherine was probably going to blow up when she see's me coming home the morning after.

I walked around looking for her slowly. I saw her watching TV in the living room and slowly walked in behind her. The couch didn't face the entrance so I thought she didn't know I was coming up from behind her. "I'm not going to ask where you were last night," She said. I didn't think she knew I was there. She got up and turned to me. "Because I think I have an idea." She said.

I didn't know what she was going to do or say. She started getting closer with her arms crossed over her chest and a straight face. "Hey," I said innocently.

She wiggled her lips. "Did you do it?" She asked with a small smirk forming on her lips. I started to smile and nodded. "How was it?" She asked loudly.

She put her hands on my shoulders shaking me. "Amazing!" I said. "Oh, by the way, you're going on a triple date with me and Stefan, Nik and his girlfriend, and a guy that Stefan thought would be okay." I told. I didn't want to tell her Caroline was here too because I wanted it to be a surprise.

She rolled her eyes. "No. I hate blind dates and you know that." She told me whining. I didn't know how to convince her.

I tried to think of something to say for about a minute before saying something. "Stefan told me about him. I thought about it and I agreed. If I didn't agree, I would be leaving you home alone tonight. Again." I told her.

She rolled her eyes. "Where are we going?" She asked. "Because if I don't like the guy, I have to make sure I'm getting good drinks out of it." She said.

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "It's the bar we went to in college when Stefan won his second competition." I told her. I know, that sounds weird. But our friends in college also liked him a lot and when he was announced winner, we all decided to celebrate.

She thought about it for a second, probably trying to remember it. "Oh yeah!" She said when she remembered. "That bar was good." She said smirking. "Fine. I'll go. I just really hope Nik's girlfriend isn't a bitch." She said.

I stifled my laughter and hid my smile. "Eh. She's okay." I lied. Caroline was the best. She could be perky and annoyingly happy at sometimes but she was a great person. "Well, I'm going to go shower." I told her. She nodded.

I walked into my room and got a text from Stefan. I looked down at my phone smiling even before I read the text. 'Hey, beautiful, did Katherine agree to tonight?' He asked. I blushed at the name again. I don't think I was never, not going to blush when he called me that. 'It took a while but yes, she will come,' I texted back.

I put my phone on the counter in my bathroom as I turned on the water. I heard my phone ding again. 'Great. See you tonight, beautiful.' He told me. Wow, four times in one day. I like being Stefan Salvatore's girlfriend.

••••••••••••••••••••••

I got ready after my shower and did my hair. Soon, I was ready to go and I walked into Katherine's room where she was sitting in her closet in a bra and panties. "What the hell, Kat? We have to go!" I told her.

She stood up. "I don't know what to wear." She sighed. "I've been looking for ages and I couldn't find anything that is hot enough to wear." She complained.

I rolled my eyes. "You have a shit load of clothes and you couldn't find anything?" I asked. She shook her head slowly. I shook my head as well and started looking for her. I was wearing a maroon romper that cut low and stopped right above my breasts, and black, knee-high pumps. The sleeves were loose but the romper kind of hugged my body.

I saw a gorgeous black romper that was long sleeves too but they were tight. It did the same thing mine did, it cut low. I then saw knee-high boots that would go with it perfectly. "Got it." I said showing her the outfit. I kind of wanted to match now that I think about it.

She looked over at me excitedly. "Elena, did I ever appreciate how much your mother taught you about clothes? Because right now, I feel like I'm taking it for granted." She said holding the romper in her hands.

I laughed. "You didn't but I appreciate it too. And I do kind of take it for granted so it's okay." I said. "And we are matching. Sort of." I said with a smile.

She hugged me in her underwear but it was whatever. We took baths together when we were younger. Did I mention that our parents are best friends? No? Well, they are.

I waited in the kitchen for Katherine to come out and she looked amazing, especially with the boots. "Oh my god girl, you look hot." I said getting up from the stool.

She scoffed and looked me up and down. "Me? You're showing off a little leg action there." She said laughing.

I laughed too. "Hey, I have a boyfriend. I'm off limits." I said jokingly. Katherine looked at me surprised. "What?" I asked.

She stomped her foot. "You didn't tell me you guys made it official!" She shouted at me. I realized that I didn't and felt really guilty. "Ugh, I hate you." She said.

I rolled my eyes. She started walking to the door forgetting her clutch and phone. "I'm sorry!" I said as I grabbed both of our clutches and phones with my keys and walking to the door. She was coming in to get her stuff. "Here" I said giving it to her.

She snatched it away from me and started walking down the hall. I stayed and locked the door and tried to catch up to her. "Kat, I'm sorry." I said grabbing her arm. "Please forgive me." I begged. I pouted my lip and looked at her with puppy dog eyes.

She laughed, looking down. "Fine. I'm actually really happy that you guys are dating. You're the perfect couple, honestly." She said. I tightened my grip on her arm and we walking down to my car like that.
