The Engagement

The Beginning

When Caroline had gotten the phone call telling her that Stefan was ENGAGED, to a woman from England that he met on his father's vineyard in Italy, where he use to spends 6 months of the year, she was both excited, because one of her best friends are getting married, HELLO?, and sad, because deep down she kind of always hoped that now that he isn't together with Elena anymore, and haven't been for two years, five months and 16 days, he would settled for her. 

But she Caroline Forbes, so after crying it out one evening at Katherine's, with fine wine and a best friend that was used to her babbling, she booked first available tickets down there for herself, Katherine, Elena, Katherine's good twin sister, Stefan's ex and Caroline's childhood best friend, and Bonnie, the last girl in the gang that is Elena's best friend.

Elena has to admit that she doesn't like flying. After crashing with the car in the accident when hers and Katherine's parents died she has never been a fan of high noises or sudden movements when she's traveling. Bonnie is giving her a small smile and hugs her hand. Elena tries to smile back but squeals when the plane lifts off the ground and crushes Bonnie's hand in her own. she can't even remember why she agreed to this in the beginning. Yes, it is fun that Stefan's getting married but Elena can't help to feel like she shouldn't be there.

She and Stefan dated through the later years of high school and broke up the summer after graduation, and it was weird to be invited to plan your ex's wedding with a girl she had never met. And then there was that other issue, Damon. Stefan's undeniably hotter, bigger brother. Elena had met him three years ago when she still was dating Stefan and he had seemed interested in her. Either that or he wanted to piss his brother off. In any case, had he made his way to Elena's thoughts ever since. He and his devilishly good looks and that eye-thing that he did that she still don't wanna admit she found sexy.

Bonnie sits beside Elena and is feeling a little underdressed. Katherine had a little black dress with thin straps and that was really short and black Stilettos with at least 10 cm heels. Her hair is curly and not a hair lays out of place and her makeup is perfect. Even Caroline's makeup is on fleek and with the braided diadem, a beautiful yellow sundress with brown flowers and the brown high boots, with a little heel on and she looks like a princess. Elena, always classy and beautiful, has a red playsuit with short legs and arms and small whites flowers on and a big black belt. Her hair is straight, her makeup is light and she was low cut black boots to it with small.

It is not that Bonnie feels ugly, even though she knows that the others are prettier than her, but the first impression is important and she has just a jeans denim overall and a loose shirt in dark red with her shoulder length hair free and no makeup. But she forgets all about it when she sees Stefan again after 5 full months and then they are driving through nature with a full car and she is talking to Elena about the view.

Katherine is quiet on the car ride to Stefan's dad's place. Caroline and Stefan are babbling in the front and on her right are Elena and Bonnie discussing the view. And Damon, interesting. What is even more interesting is that Elena is blushing and Bonnie is smiling so big that Katherine can see all her white teeth.

"Soo... you still have a crush on Damon?" she asked bluntly, for dancing around a subject isn't her style. Elena hisses her but Caroline and Stefan are already quiet, so she is assuming that they, too, heard her. Before Elena can answers the question, still blushing like mad, to Katherine's amusement, Stefan cuts in.

"Stay away from my brother, Elena. He is bad news. Plus that he hasn't left this place in years, and you just gonna be here 3 weeks, then you leave. And believe me, my brother is a heart stealer. He is just going to hurt you" The rest of the car drive is silent, after Caroline has agreed with Stefan that Damon is bad news, they had a spat back when Damon visited three years ago, Katherine still doesn't know what about, and Elena muttered some kind of half promise to stay away from the hotter Salvatore. It's almost so Katherine wishes that she hadn't asked the question. Almost, because she finds awkward silences amusing and she can really need a break after 3 months of straight work.
