Loving Eli

Chapter 13

Mystic Falls

"I can't wait til Gabby finally decides to arrive. I need alcohol."Caroline complains plopping onto the couch. "You're so going to want to drink more when you see her with Jake."Elena smirks remembering how magical their relationship seemed.

"Now I feel worse for inviting Klaus. I told myself it was because of protection from Kai but I was really looking forward to another one night stand."Caroline sighs.

Josette widens her eyes taking a note to meet this Klaus. He seemed scary but his soft spot for Caroline was interesting. She was a mess. She needed to get away.

"Damon is the worst."Bonnie rolled her eyes as she walked into the livingroom. "How come?"Elena asks looking from the pillow in her room. "He had Enzo go on a wild goose chase before they left for Alaric's bachelorete party."Bonnie answered sitting next to Jo.

"When's this Gabby getting here? I'm already mentally picking out my hot guys."Carrie rolled her eyes bored out of her mind. "I thought we were going for ice cr-"Jo stopped as the door opened.

"They always leave the door open."Gabby rolled her eyes as she pulled in her suit cases and Jake right behind. Jo froze as Jake looked exactly like Kai. "Hey, guys."Gabby smiled as the other girls except Carrie ran up.

Gabby was immediately attacked in hugs. Jo looked over at Jake Riley Parker pulling him into a long hug. He held back at his mid aged sister filling his heart warm to have some type of family.

"Hi, brother. My name is Jo. Nice to meet you."She smiled up at him. "Wow, you look exactly how I imagined. Blue eyes and dark hair."Jake smiles earning a couple chuckles.

"He's kinda hot."A voice points out from the back. Gabby and Jake were the only one who shared confused expressions as the others were annoyed. They didn't really enjoy Kai's "company".

"Oh, my bad. My name is Gabriella and this is my boyfriend Jake. My friends call me Gabby."Gabby introduced herself to the blondie as she took off her shades.

"Oh wow. You're even hotter than I expected you to be. Wow. Quite the hot couple. Nice outfit by the way. I'm Carrie."She whooshed in front of them holding out her hand.

Gabby smiled shaking her hand and Jake did the same in only a polite manner. "I'm oh my bad. I'm Kai's friend with benefits. It's really nice meeting his ex and twin."She smiled almost too hard.

Gabby widen her eyes before Jo changed the subject. "Jake, the others as in the guys are at the Mystic Grill Bar. You passed it up so you know where it is right?"Jo asked. "Yeah, thanks. Bye girls. Gabby."Jake kissed her lips before leaving.

"Welcome back to Mystic Falls."Bonnie smiled pulling Gabby into another hug. "It feels good to be back."Gabby smiled ready for their fun girl's night.

"And you must be Jake Riley."Stefan walked over to the table a little late. "That's me."Jake smiled avoiding Kai's intense stares. "Yes, come meet the NYPD."Damon finished his glass of Bourbon gesturing to him.

"How's Gabby been?"Stefan asks not leaving the twin's eyes. "She's great. I swear there's not an unhappy minute with her."Jake smirked taking a sip of his beer. "What are you naming the twins?"Jake asked changing the subject to Alaric.

He was quite pissed that Kai was here and the fact that he had a doppleganger here as well. From what he heard of Officer Riley he actually had no issues of him. It was just his face that Alaric hated the most.

"Joey and Lizzie Saltsman."Alaric answers. "Look at my man, all grown up with his own family. Matt you better be next."Damon pointed a finger at the blond. Matt laughs.

"I'm getting there. I'm training to be deputy now. I'm taking it slow. I may just surprise you guys."Matt answers taking a sip. "Good. Now Alaric's gonna have to spend the rest of his life with only one girl."Damon shooked his head.

"That's a compliment I hope."Alaric eyed the raven haired vampire. "It's not such a bad thing."Kai chimes in earning a glare from Jake.

"I mean, if they have the right amount of.....qualities."He finishes after a chuckle. "That could be true."Stefan agrees as Damon shot Kai a glare. "I'm a very happy man with her."Alaric truthfully replies. Jake only stood there in silence knowing this would only be a long night.

"You did what?"Caroline grasps at Jo. Everyone was quite shocked. "What? The 80's was a wild time for a teenager. Ask Gabby."She blushes pointing to Gabby.

"How did you lose your virginity?"Elena asks her. Gabby blushes hard. "Kai of course. It was more of a in the moment thing."She shrugs as Carrie rolls her eyes. "You guys lost your virginity to each other right? That's too romantic."Caroline smiles.

"No, he lost his before me. Kai, had this I wanted to be popular phase after I got scouted to be on the cheer team. When I think about it I think it was some sort of rebellion. He was always scared he would loose me so when I got other friends he threw a tantrum I guess you would say."Gabby explains.

"Have you ever dated someone other than Kai before you died?"Bonnie asks. Gabby nods. "Twice. Once in high school when I was sixteen and once in college before he snapped or well the year before he snapped. It was very messy."Gabby shakes her head at the memory.

"I didn't know that. Was it summer of 1992 when he wouldn't leave his room?"Jo asks. "Yeah. I came to visit and well I left him in a bad mood."Gabby replies. "Was college better back then?"Elena asks.

"Yeah, the parties were...wild."Jo laughs along with Gabby. "It would be impossible to graduate based off how distracted you could get."Gabby agrees.
