Tom Odell - Can't Pretend

"Oh feel our bodies grow,
And our souls they blend.
Yeah love I hope you know,
How much my heart depends."

WITHOUT EVEN OPENING HER EYES ELENA SMILED BRIGHTLY. She could feel Holden's breath on her neck, his strong arm wrapped around her body. She finally opened her eyes before turning on her back.

He was sleeping peacefully, wearing no shirt, because she stole it. The two didn't do anything besides kissing, because both of them thought it was too soon. Wounds were still quite fresh to Stefan and Holden didn't want to hurt him even more.

But nothing changed the fact that the two loved each other and wanted to be together. Elena touched Holden's cheek to which he opened his emerald eyes. "Hi," she whispered, staring at him in awe.

Holden's grip on her tightened as she mused happily. "You steal my clothes already?" he asked playfully, loving how good she looked in an oversized shirt of his.

Elena giggled as she leaned forward. "Mhm," she mused before not wasting time and kissing Holden passionately. He rolled on top of her before deepening the kiss to which she moaned slightly.

The two continued kissing each other before Holden pulled away. "I thought you have school," he said calmly to which Elena rolled her eyes as her hands wandered down his neck.

"Not for twenty minutes at least," she answered with a goofy smile so Holden kissed her again. Elena was in pure ecstasy and so was Holden. She was finally free to be with a man she loved for so long, and he was more than happy to share his love.

The two rolled again until Elena landed on top. She sat up, staring at Holden hungrily before kissing his neck. Holden closed his eyes in pleasure before Elena kissed his tasty lips again. "I don't want to get up," she whispered and he wanted to agree 100%.

AFTER ANOTHER HALF AND HOUR OF STAYING IN BED THE TWO FINALLY GOT READY FOR THE DAY. "I hope Damon was not home," Elena chuckled holding Holden's hand as the two descended down the stairs.

She started to rush away but Holden didn't let her as he spun her into his arms. "Holden..." Elena chuckled as he handed her her bag. "Oh! Thank you."

"You're welcome," he answered with a smirk so Elena leaned in and kissed him quickly. "Listen, Elena, we..."

"Shh," she placed her finger on his lips before looking at him with one of her serious looks. "Don't ruin it."
