Lost In The Abyss (A Stefan Salvatore Love Story)

XI

An amazing smell wafted to my nose from downstairs.

Stefan's home made bacon and mac n cheese.

He remembered one of my favorite dishes. I couldn't believe it. I fell in love with him even more. If that was even possible at this point. I pranced downstairs and walked into the kitchen. I watched him as he gracefully moved around the kitchen, cooking the food. His back was to me, and damn. His backside was AMAZING. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his stomach. Are those abs I feel? Well I'm gonna have to inspect those later.

"I can't believe you remembered that I loved this dish." I said to him.

"Well of course I remembered. I paid attention to more things than you think." He smiled at me.

I pecked him on the cheek and began to set the table. Suddenly Stefan's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Stefan, what are you doing?" I heard Elena chirp through the phone.

"Oh just visiting some friends. How about yourself?" He asked.

"We're all sitting around the fire. I wish you were here, it's kind of boring, but Damon's keeping me company." She said a little too happily.

"Oh, well that's good. I'm sorry Elena I have to go, I'll talk to you later!"

"Okay! Love you! Bye!" She said

Stefan hung up and brought the food over to the table. We served the food and began eating it. It was even better than I remembered. It melted in my mouth, and my taste buds were having a party.

"So. Um I guess I didn't really think about Elena. How are you going to tell her?" I asked Stefan.

He swallowed his bite of food before replying, "Well. I need to wait at least two weeks. It'd break her heart if I just called her up and told her. You know? I care for her to not want to absolutely hurt her. Plus I think that's all the time I need. She seems to be getting pretty cozy with Damon." He rolled his eyes as he said the last part.

"Yeah, I understand." I smiled at him. "What do you plan on doing after this?" I asked.

"Well, I was hoping to stay and catch up with you." He said with a grin.

"Of course, that'd be lovely." I replied back.

We finished and moved to the living room. We sat and talked for hours. I told him about my solo travels across Europe and he told he about his ripper days. His head hung low while he explained, and that pained me. I hate to see him talking about himself like that, but the mood lightened when he spoke of his recovery and his happy times. We finished and it was 1 in the morning.

"Oh my goodness, it's already 1." I said

"Oh wow. I didn't realize." Stefan replied back

"Well, I really should be heading to bed. Um.. you're welcome to stay if you'd like?" I smiled at him.

"You know, I'd be delighted. But I didn't bring any clothes." He said.

"I think I have some sweats and a t shirt that would fit you. Lemme look" I said.

I rushed upstairs and found the clothes. I handed them to him and he went to change. I went to my own room and changed into some silk shorts and a t shirt. I walked out of my bathroom and saw Stefan looking around my room.

"I love the decorations you put in.... oh wow.." He said as he turned and took an eyeful of me.

I blushed a nice crimson red before I spoke. "Um.. thanks"

I gave him a small smile. I laid down on my bed and gave it a pat. Stefan sat down, and we started talking about the house. He loved it, and I'm glad. I yawned after an hour of talking. My eye lids were drooping and I couldn't stay awake any longer.

"Aww someone's tired" Stefan cooed.

He stood up and tucked me in. He gave me a kiss on the cheek, and bid me goodnight before retreating into the guest bedroom. I quickly fell asleep and the dreams began
