I Had To Know Her

Chapter 8

Stefan's POV: 

The last bell of the day rung and it was time to go home.

I told Elena to meet me in the parking lot and we could go back to my house. I wanted to talk to her.

We have known each other for only a little bit now, but I feel like I've known her my entire life, which being a vampire and all, is a long time.

I liked her. I really really liked her and I wanted to do something about it, instead of just being friends.... who just kiss sometimes.... and stuff....

I wanted her to be mine. I needed to say something about it and that's just what I'm gonna do.

I walked into the parking lot and I saw Elena standing by her car already, on her phone. We parked right next to each other, since we both came to school at the same time after picking up her car from the towing company.

''Hey, beautiful.'' I said.

''Well there you are.'' She said in return, looking up from her phone.

''Race you to my place!!'' I screamed before jumping into the driver seat and pulling out, acting like a child.

She got into her car and was right behind me.

I got to my house first, and rubbed it into her face the walk to the front door, but it didn't really seem to matter to her, and it shouldn't because it was stupid.

She sat down on the couch and I took my spot next to her.

''Elena, I really wanted to talk to you about something and it's been on my mind for a couple days now.'' I started to say. ''I really really like you, and I'm pretty sure that you have the same feelings back towards me. I don't want to sit around and just be friends when we act the way we do with each other and I just wanted to know....''

I stuttered for a minute. I'm not usually the nervous type but being around her makes me nervous and weird and I just can't fight the feeling.

''Will you be my... girlfriend?'' I finally said.

She said nothing before grabbing my face with her hands and pressing her lips to mine. 

I grabbed her face with just as much passion as she did mine, and kissed her back.

She pulled away only about a centimeter from my face and looked me in the eyes.

''Yes.'' She said before wrapping her hands around my shoulders.

I returned the hug back.

Elena's POV:

Stefan just asked me to be his girlfriend.

I was worried that he was going to want to talk to me about something bad but it ended out being something really good. Something that made me happy.

We cuddled up on the couch for a little bit and I just stared at him while he rested his eyes, trying not to fall asleep while I was in his arms.

This handsome vampire was mine.

I went home after a little while and called Bonnie and Caroline to come over. I feel like I haven't talked to them in forever because I was so busy with Stefan.

I got home and a few minutes later, they were knocking at my door. I let them in and we went up to my room and sprawled out on my bed.

''So.... I kinda have to tell you guys something...'' I started to say.

''Me and Stefan... are.... kinda dating.''

Bonnie looked up at me, just like the way I imagined her too. I told her this morning at school that me and Stefan had nothing and now I just told her we did.

''DATING?'' Caroline said. ''Awwww! Yay! He's soooo cute and you deserve to be happy after everything you've been through this past year.'' She said, being her normal perky flirty self.

''Well I'm happy for you, and he seems like a great guy, but we have to get together with him sometime to really get to know him and see if he's good enough for my best friend.'' Bonnie finally said.

''Oh we will, and of course he's good enough for me. Why would I ever date someone who wasn't?'' I said, giving them a smirk.

We layed on my bed all night as they talked about cute guys at school, and I talked about Stefan and the times we've had together already.

Bonnie and Caroline left and I went downstairs to tell Jenna the news and she was happy about it. She met Stefan already and I could tell that she liked him. I just like having a mother figure in my life that I can talk to about boy problems or just boys in general.

I went up to my room and picked up my phone which read '1 text message'

From: Stefan 

''Goodnight beautiful, I already can't wait to see you in the morning.'' It read.

I put my phone down on the end table next to my bed, before crashing into bed and digging my face into the pillow.

I smiled hard into the pillow thinking about how happy I have been lately and just didn't have a care or worry in the world.
