"Okay well Elena, would you mind helping me find something to wear tonight?" I politely asked. "Of course!"she replied. "We are gonna be out shopping for the rest of the day so ill see you when I get home! Bye!" I said closing the door. "Make good choices!" I heard Damon yell from inside the house.
My only question is, does Stefan trust me? I mean throughout this whole time he was just standing there smiling and nodding... Somethings going on... But what?
"Are you alright, Cece?" Asked Elena with a concerned look. "Oh, I'm fine! Just thinking... I do that a lot." I said dryly.
Before I knew it, we were entering our first store. We looked at a few dress racks and decided to move on to the next store.
I felt weird... I had only ever been this girly when I was around Stefan... Normaly, Im the girl who is sitting alone and never talks, but when I was near Stefan, I was a new person. I felt as if I had been reborn. I felt... Happy.
"Do you want to go get something to eat?" Elena asked me.
"Sure!" I replied trying not to sound bored out of my mind. We walked to The Grill and had a late lunch... "So, how long have you known Stefan?" I asked her. "A while... Well thats if you dont count the day that he saved me..." She said followed by a sip of her soda. "He saved your life?From what?" I asked curiously.
"Well, my parents car drove off of the bridge down the street and I was drowning when Stefan dived into the water... He tried to save my dad but he told Stefan to save me instead... So he did... My parents died that night." She said almost breaking into tears. "Im sorry for your loss..." I said meaningly.
"Elena! There you are!" Said a voice coming from behind me. I turned to see a perky blonde and what looked to be a sycopathic brunette. They walked toward us then looked down at me with jealous expressions on their faces. "Oh sorry! Hope we didnt intterupt anything important." Said the brunette.
"No its okay you didnt! I was just... leaving to go home." I said wanting to slap them both.
"Oh pardon my manners! Im Caroline and this is Bonney." Said the blonde motioning to the brunette.
"Cece, you can stay if you want." Said Elena. I shook my head, "Its fine... I need to talk to Stefan and Damon anyways... Ill see you when you get home." I told her. "Okay." She said as she turned to talk to the two girls. As I walked out the door I heard Caroline say,"Who was that? She knows the Salvatore brothers? I've never seen her before... Where does she live?" Of course, Elena answered her questions except one... Elena didnt know where I lived or at least she didnt say... I think it was pretty obvious though that I would be living with Damon and Stefan while I was in town... Did she just not want to admit it to herself? Did she find me as a threat? Oh well... I walked outside and ran home as fast as I could. I stormed through the door to see that Stefan was waiting for me. He was grinning with a glass of bourbon in his right hand. "So where's Elena?" He asked walking toward me in a slow pace. "Shes at The Grill with a few friends." I replied. "While Im talking to you,tell me whats going on." I said staring deep into his entrancing eyes. "Why whatever do you mean?" He said... I knew he knew exactally what I meant so I played along. "Oh, nevermind. I guess there is nothing going then." I lied.
"Okay well im gonna go get ready. We leave in one hour." He said walking up the stairs and disappearing into his room closing the door behind him. I cant believe this is really happening... First he has a girlfriend who looks exactally like Katherine, second we are going out as friends and not like a couple, and third, he wasnt telling me what was going on! This trip was not going well... But I have a feeling that things were gonna get worse .
ONE HOUR LATER:
"You ready?" I heard Stefan yell to me from outside the door to my room. "Ill be down in a sec." I replied. I put on a pair of black dress pants and a red ruffled shirt, opened my door, and there stood what seemed to be the most beautiful thing in the world. "Ladies first," said Stefan motioning to the hallway. I walked out of my room and he closed the door behind me. "Lets go." I said. We walked out to the car when Elena walked up the driveway. "Hey have fun!" She said and went inside the house. I nodded. Stefan opened the passenger seat door and I stepped in and before I knew it, we were already pulling into the parking lot of The Grill. We walked in and the place was nearly empty. Besides the bar tender, the staff, and one other person at the bar, we were alone! A waiter walked up to us, took us to our table, and sat us down. "Hello my name is Matt and I will be your waiter this evening." He said. He had short blonde hair, he was average height, and he had the face of a puppy. "What can I get you?" He asked pulling out a pen and pad. "Um, Ill have a burger with ketchup only, a small order of fries and a medium sweet tea." I said. He looked at Stefan,"Ill have the same." He said.
After we had gotten our food, we talked for a while then I asked,"Does she know what you are?"
Stefan grinned and took a sip of his tea then looked at me. "Yes, she knows."
I looked at him in shock... "Are you insane!?!" I yelled. The bar tender looked at me weirdly, then went back to wiping the bar counter.
"Look Sierra, she's my girlfriend... What did you expect me to do!?!" He said. "You trust her that much?" I asked. He nodded.
"You shouldnt have done that!" I added.
"No you shouldnt have." Said the man at the bar. Stefan looked as if he recognized the voice and flung his head around.
The man slowly turned around. "Hello love."
Stefan turned back around. "Klaus."
