JUICY

ch 35

After hours of trying to get Kayla to go to sleep after she found out Damon put blood in her cranberry juice Stefan laid on in the living room trying to close his eyes when his journal falls to the floor from his lap

Blinking with a sigh, Stefan stood up preparing to put the book away and go upstairs when he heard a sound

"Damon?" he called out thinking his brother came back to the boarding house after leaving to avoid Kayla throwing things at him

With no reply Stefan frowns as another sound can be heard from the window being open

After closing it, he catches the sound of someone passing him and he speeds to Kayla's room, checking on her, only to see the girl sleeping peacefully

He closes the door and flashes back downstairs by the front door to be pushed to the ground and hissed at

"Lexi?"
"Hi" the blonde grins
"What're you doing here?"

"How could you even ask that"
The blonde vampire tugs Stefan off the floor and he wraps her into a hug "I missed you"

"Happy birthday"

The two smile at one another before Stefan pulls her towards his room, glad to have his friend with him as the two caught up with all the other has missed out on

Before either of them knew it, the sun had rose.

"Stop"

Lexi and Stefan sat laughing on the bed
"I don't know, some freak shot at me with wooden bullets. I bail in under sixty. And why is a news reporter hunting vampires?"

Shrugging the Salvatore responded "I don't know who knows about us. That guy did, could be others"
Lexi made a face brushing her hair over her shoulder before Stefan tilted his head down

"Do me a favor, while you're here, please be careful"
"Why stay? I'm headed to New York for the weekend. Bon Jovi in the Garden. 'Wanted dead or alive', it's our theme song. It'll be a blast"

Raising an eyebrow Stefan grinned "You think he'll remember us? That was a crazy weekend huh?"
"We can make him remember us" Lexi stood up walking around the room teasing her friend
"Come on! What's keeping you here?"

Pausing Stefan sighed "I won't leave her here alone. Not after what Damon did to Zach"

Lexi gave a small smile "I get that. I thought you were gonna say something about that lookalike"

"I told you, her name is Elena"

The blonde scoffed picking up a photo of Katherine "Let's hope she's better than the last girl you got all sprung over"

"You didn't even know Katherine" Stefan snatched the photo away placing it on the end table as Lexi rolled her eyes
"Cause if I did I'd kick her ass. Little bitch"

She then paused "Speaking of...where's Damon?"
"Inflicting misery somewhere. You know he tricked Kayla into drinking a bit of blood to heal her neck last night?"
"Sounds like him...you think he did it cause he cares"
"Not surprisingly tho. You know how close he and Kim were"

Lexi nodded as Stefan grabbed his phone "You gonna be okay here alone? Cause I got some things I gotta take care of"

"It's not exactly like I can go anywhere, you and Damon are the only ones with these nifty little daylight rings"
Lexi then gasped "I have a mood ring from '75! Trade ya?"
Stefan brought his hand up to playfully knock hers down "Doesn't work that way and you know it"

Groaning Lexi turned around, stopping as Stefan called out to her
"I'm really glad that you came"

Smile growing back onto her face, Lexi placed her hands on the man's wrists
"What are we doing for your birthday? It's not everyday a guy turns a hundred and sixty-two years old."
