Past Meets Past (2)

Chapter 3

I was walking to my car when I heard someone yell my name . 

"  LOOK OUT ! HEY ! WATCH OUT ! " someone screamed . 

I turned just in time to see a football about to hit me in the face , until suddenly a hand shot out and saved my face from the impact. Stefan . I knew it was him . I could smell his cologne a million miles away . Not that I minded. It smell nice , like mint and lemons . I smiled . He'd always smelled that way . 

Stefan caught the ball and threw it back to the guys that almost hit me . 

" Are you alright ? " he asked . 

" I'm fine . " I said , unlocking my car and throwing my bag inside . 

" So ... what book do you want to do ? " he asked . 

" I don't know . Caroline and Tyler are doing Withering Heights and Elena and Matt are doing Pride and Prejudice .... " I said . 

" My favorite book is Romeo and Juliet ." Stefan said , looking into my eyes . 

" I remember . " I said . 

Stefan looked down . 

" I used to read you passages in my study . " I said . 

" And sometimes... I would read it to you . " he said . 

* Flash Back * 

" Romeo , Romeo , where far out thou Romeo ? " I asked , reading from an old leather book . 

Stefan smiled . 

He was sitting on my couch , listening intently . 

I looked over the book into Stefan's fiery green eyes . Sometimes I'd wondered if anyone else really saw the fire in Stefan or if it was just me . I scecretly hoped it was just me . 

" Romeo is stupid . " Stefan said . 

" Oh and why is that ? " I asked . 

" Because out of sheer stupidity , he killed himself AND the woman he loved . " Stefan said . 

" Yes , but he was trying to do the right thing  . " I said . 

" It was one thing if he killed himself .... but he had to kill Juliet too . That's stupid and heartless . " Stefan said . 

I looked at him with curiosity . 

" I would never want to put you in danger . " he said . 

" Juliet was just as stupid . Romeo was still alive . " I said . 

" I wouldn't want to live without my true love . " Stefan said quiety .

" Then it's a good thing I'm immortal , isn't it ? " I asked , pulling his chin up to look at me . 

Stefan smiled and kissed me . 

 

 I got snapped out of my flashback by a ring tone . I  could tell  by the dazed expression in his face that Stefan was reliving our past too . 

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked down at the screen :

Hello , princess . How was ur day ? I have 2 see u tonight ;) 

I <3 u 

- Damon 

I laughed . Damon . Of course . He had to text me right now , in front of Stefan .
