The Two Dobrev

Chapter 24: Alone With You

-Sara

She's driving me crazy! Only 72 hours that we came back home, and she's already getting on my last damn nerves. I ran all morning to find her stupid phone when she was sitting on it. "Paul, I can't do this. I think I'll hire someone to treat her or something!"

"I know, baby, I know. Look, you got that interview tonight with Nina, and Ian has an audition. I'll keep my eyes on her." He kisses my cheek, holding the back of my head with his two hands.

"SARA!" I look at Paul. He nods and walks towards the disabled.

"What?" I hear him say.

"Can I please have a cup of water?" I roll my eyes and prepare one. Paul enters back, and I give it to him.

"Thanks, beautiful."

I hate leaving him alone with her, but I don't have a choice. "Call me if anything happens. I will drop the meeting and come home immediately." I kiss Paul and thank him for doing this.

"Sara Dobrev! You made it."

I smiled over at Dan, but he knew I didn't mean it. For three hours straight, we talked about a new show, and we decided that it would be best if we didn't start anything new until everyone was ready. I don't mind because I have so much on my mind right now.

I met with Nina for a coffee before going to the interview panel. "I just came back from home, and Paul is exhausted."

"I'm not even surprised." I laugh. Anya can be a real bitch sometimes when she wants something.

-Paul

"Oh, she's in the living room. The Doctor came in and took off her cast. She can move her arm and leg."

"Great! So, she can get herself a god damn glass of water." I laugh, taking her small body in my arms.

"Don't be mean; that girl fell down the stairs," I whisper. She sighs against my chest, and she mumbles something I didn't catch. "What?"

"She ruined our night." I kiss her head.

"We'll get plenty of nights together, alone," I smirk. She nods and kisses my lips.

Sunlight was in the room. Sara's alarm went off. She growls and slaps the snooze button. I shake my head, extending my arm to the off switch. I kiss her cheeks, her face, her nose, her lips until she slowly wakes. "I don't want to go."

"It's either you go, or you stay here with Anya, your evil cousin," she opens one eye to see my amused face.

Moments later, she was choosing an outfit. I walk down, preparing coffee and bagels. As always, Sara has perfect timing. I place her plate in front of her. "Thank you!"

We kissed goodbye, and I went into the living room.

-Anya

I'm alone with Paul all day, what can I do? I can use him to practice my lines for the audition I got. "Hey, Paul? Can you do me a huge favor?"

"What now? You're walking on your own." I laugh, "I know."

"It's for my audition I got. I need a partner to practice my lines with," he seems to understand. I give him a book, and he starts to read.

Throughout the lecture, I started to move closer to him. "It's to get into character." He nods, oblivious.

"Let us live, and let us be together." I finish my last line and throw the book on the ground. I caught his face and kissed him. It felt good.

"I forgot my file- ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I pulled away. Okay, Paul pushed me so hard that I had to pull away.

Sara was standing in the door frame with a mouth wide open. She was smiling, but the tears were coming. Jackpot!

"Baby-"

"NO. I-I need some time alone." And, she left. Paul ran towards the door but was too late.

"Are y-"

"YOU SHUT UP!"
