Ian Somerhalder: A Twisted Love Story

Chapter Two

I'm so glad to be here again at comic con. It's always a rush to see and meet my fans. The Vampire Diaries has done so much for me, I'm devastated that this is our last season.
"You ready?" Paul asks while peeping his head through my hotel door.
"Let's go," I say. When we get downstairs we're greeted by two large men, but let's face it'll they'll be having nightmares if this crowd is anything like the one who greeted us when we first got here.
When we get down to the conference room, I hear my assistant yell, "Ian watch out!" And my face met the door. "Mr. Somerhalder are you okay?"
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with the door," I hear a woman say with a voice as soft as a bird.
"I'm fine I'm fine," I start, "it was an accident. Hi I'm Ian."
"I'm Nicole," she shyly responds, and I notice her hair is in her face. Before I knew what I was doing, I realized my hand was tucking it behind her ear. I stares into her beautifully large hazel eyes. I notice she's blushing, her cheeks were turning pinker by the second. I found it really sexy. I take a moment to capture her beauty with one glance, before Paul hauls me down to earth with a swift kick to the back of my heel.
"Are you leaving?" I ask.
"No I'm just headed to the little girls room," she responds. I can tell she was in a daze too.
"Well I'll be waiting to see you in there," I smirk. Like a gentleman, I let her walk before us.
"Dude what was that?" Paul asks.
"I think I just met my future wife."
"Shut up," Paul jokes. We walk inside and immediately fans start screaming. It's always the same, we say something, girls laugh or get captivated by our compulsion. I try to keep Nicole out of my head, what was I thinking she's just another fan. I've never done this before. Suddenly the door slams shut. I look up and notice Nicole take her seat. I couldn't see her perfectly with the lights blasting in my eyes, but I managed to follow her with my eyes to her seat. She looks up and notices me looking, so she quickly drops her head. I can't help but look at how stunning she is. She doesn't seem like a huge fan, considering she's wearing a formal skirt and blouse. She looks like she's headed to work after. I feel Paul nudge me so I quickly turn my attention back to work.
"Mr. Somerhalder what happened between you and Nina?" A fan asks.
"Well there's a lot of love between us, we were friends first so we'll always have that bond and love for one another."
"Is there any hope for you two getting back together?"
"Umm," I say clearing my throat, "from my perspective right now no. We have different wants at the moment, and different views on life. But like I said we'll keep working professionally and it won't effect our work."
When the conference finally ends, I take one last look at Nicole, and am lead into another room. Paul and I sit behind a long table. We sign autographs and take pictures, which is my favorite part of the job because I get to meet a lot of people who genuinely love me. I see the line coming to an end, when Nicole is next in line. My heart skips a beat.
"Next!" Someone yells as she walks towards us.
"Hello Nicole," I smirk.
"Oh my gosh. Hi Paul. Hi Ian," she says as she begins to blush again.
"So," I start, "do you live here in Oregon, or just here for comic con?"
"I live here. Are you staying long?" She asks in reply.
"I might stay a little longer," I say when Paul nudges me. I figure he's telling me I'm coming on too strong, but I can't help myself.
"Umm, yeah me too," Paul adds.
"Well Oregon is beautiful in the right now in the spring. You'll love it, there's lots you can do. Do you mind taking a picture?"
"Not at all, come here," I say. Paul and I both stand up. I rush to put my arm around my waist before Paul could do it first. He's trying to warn me because it's always dangerous to date a fan, especially the ones that get too excited. The picture comes out perfectly, and she thanks us for our time.
"Why don't you wait around, I think I'll need a tour guide if I'm going to be staying for a while," I say to her as she's headed towards the exit. Paul nudges me again.
"I guess I could do that. I just have to get my friend."
"Perfect! My assistant will have you wait for me in my hotel room." I exclaim as I direct my assistant towards her.

"You're going to be alone with her and her friend?" Paul asks.
"No I'm going to be with her while her friend and my best friend Paul hang out together."
"I'm not getting involved in this."
"Please, I really like this girl and I feel something here."
Paul huffs, "fine, but if Phoebe freaks out about this..."
"She won't, and if so I'll take full responsibility," I say and quickly finish signing the last few autographs. My mind can't stop thinking about rushing up stairs and kissing the gorgeous girl with her beautiful hazel eyes.
