Mr. Salvatore and I ❤️

Prom

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!!" I heard Caroline yelling at me and Bonnie. "It's time to go dress shopping!" Caroline has been planning this day for months. Prom wasn't until December and it was only November. Me and Stefan have been together for a couple weeks now. I've been waiting for that spotlight moment when we share our first kiss! Maybe prom would be the day.

Caroline, Bonnie, and I piled into the car and drove off to the dress shop.

The second we walked in I saw beautiful dresses all around the huge store. Caroline and Bonnie quickly found dresses and ran to the dressing rooms. I couldn't find any that really stood out. I heard my phone ding and I checked the message I had just received. It was Stefan. My face lit up when I saw that he wanted me to meet him on Wickery bridge for a surprise at noon. It was only eleven so I had time to find a perfect dress.

After finding the perfect dark blue sparkly dress it was time to meet Stefan. I made Caroline drive me home so I can look cute and special for my surprise.

I went to unlock my car door but I dropped my keys. Right before I bent down to pick them up Damon was there next to me picking up my keys. He handed them to me and I rudely said, "what do you want Damon?" "Just checking up on you, Elena" he said with a smirk on his face. I ignored him and jumped into my car and drove to Wickery Bridge.

I slowly drove up and got out of my car and ran into Stefan's arms. He complimented my dress and kissed my forehead. I never wanted to let go of him, he made me feel safe. No one could ruin this moment unless... no not going to think that way. He took me over to a small spot crowded by trees on the side of the bridge.

He had set up a small picnic for me to enjoy. He saw my smile widen and I started to blush. He smiled at me and took my hand leading me to sit down on the blanket. I started to snack on the chocolate covered strawberries. I had that feeling where I felt like someone was watching me, but this time it felt good. I knew Stefan's eyes were on me which made me feel like the luckiest and safest girl in the world.

After sitting and talking for a while he stood up and offered me a hand to get up. We walked back onto the bridge talking and laughing like crazy. We stood in the middle and Stefan stared into my eyes and recited 7 words. "Will you be my date to prom?" I looked at him with amazement in my eyes and I started to blush again. I responded quickly with a simple, "yes, yes of course!" At that very moment I got the chills and almost screamed. "At last" I thought as he leaned down kissing me on the lips. He wrapped his hands around my waste pulling me close. After a few seconds he released me. I just stared at his beautiful eyes thanking God for this amazing man.

Stefan drove me home that night. On the way we jammed out to Disney songs singing, smiling, and gazing into each other's eyes.

When I got home I wasn't surprised to find Bonnie and Caroline waiting to hear how it went. My face lit up, and once again I started to blush. They both started squealing. I explained the whole night to them. We stayed up almost all night talking about our dates to prom and how magical the night would be.

Prom was getting closer and I had probably put my dress on a thousand times just to make sure it still fit perfectly. Since Stefan and my first kiss we've gone on a few dates just to enjoy each other's company. No date will ever be as amazing as the night we shared out firs kiss. Caroline was going with Tyler and Bonnie decided to go with Jeremy. It's a little weird to hear Bonnie gush about my little brother, but as long as she's happy I'm happy for her.

About 2 weeks passed and prom was tonight! We decided to get ready at Caroline's house because she had all the makeup and was the most organized. When I got there Caroline was already dressed and she was putting on makeup. She turned around and gave me a disgusted look. "You're late," she told me. I knew I was a little late because I didn't think it was necessary to get ready at four when prom wasn't until seven. I apologized to Caroline and started to get ready.

We heard a knock on the door. Caroline's mom opened the door and called us all down. I felt like a princess in the movies walking down the stairs to my Prince Charming. I watched as each heel hit the step being careful not to fall. I reached the bottom and that's when I looked up at my handsome prince. His hair was swept back and his tux was perfectly laid across his chest. He stepped in the door after being invited in to grab my hand. He took my hand and kissed it. Caroline and Bonnie followed behind me, meeting up with their dates. We all took a limo to get dinner. We went to the fanciest restaurant I had ever been to. Stefan was such a gentleman that night. He opened all the doors, pulled my chair out for me, and he kept checking up on me. We hadn't even gotten to the dance yet and all I could think about is how this would be the best night of my entire life.

It was time to leave. I grabbed my clutch which held my extra money and phone, and we got back into the limo.

When we arrived to prom Stefan went out of his way just to get the special moment of opening the door and helping his girl out. Stefan offered me a hand, and before I could stand up he looked me in the eyes and said, " thank you, Elena, for coming with me tonight." I started to blush, a lot. He helped me up out of the car and spun me around to his other arm. We followed our friends into the room where prom was being held. I was staring at Stefan and when he noticed me watching him he just looked forward and smiled.

When we walked in a slow song started. Stefan unhooked his arm from mine and grabbed my hand. He spun me around as we danced. He made me feel free. Free from the drama at home, free from Damon, and free from my bossy friends. There was nothing that could ruin this moment. Only.. never mind. (Damon loves Elena, but she loves Stefan that's why she's been annoyed with him) The end of the song was nearing and I was distracted by what was going on around us. I wasn't focused on Stefan, but he knew how to get me focused on him again. He called my name in a deep mellow voice which caused me to look deeply into his dark brown eyes. I looked up at him expecting him to tell me off for not paying attention but he didn't. I was going to explain what was happening that distracted me, but before I could get a word out he leaned down to kiss me. He pulled me in closer than he did before wrapping his arms around my waist and back kissing me passionately. I was too wrapped up in the moment to notice one of the staff ladies was ready to announce prom king and queen. Stefan instantly noticed and had to push me away. I almost felt like I did something wrong because of the aggressive push away. Even though he pushed me away I was still in his arms. His strength was stronger than most because he was a vampire. He'd always been worried about hurting me. Even when small things like this happened Stefan was worried he wasn't good for me. I could tell he felt bad because when he saw the scared look on my face he grabbed me and pulled me into a strong powerful hug.

While listening for the prom king and queen announcement he held me in his arms. I was cheering for Caroline to win. "And the prom king is..... Tyler Lockwood!!" The staff member announced "and for your 2018 prom queen..... Caroline Forbes!!" I started to jump in excitement for my friends. It was a perfect match. They shared their dance together and as their song started to end more songs started to play. Stefan whispered in my ear, "come with me." I nodded and took his hand.

He led me outside to look up at the stars. He spun me around dancing with me making my heart beat faster and faster each minute. I took the wrong step making me land closer to Stefan, leaning up against his chest. We stopped dancing and gazed into each other's eyes. He opened his mouth about to say something, "I lo..." Then I looked over to see Damon standing there with a bucket of popcorn. I looked at him annoyed. "C'mon Stef I think it's time to get home, don't you think?" Damon said. Stefan looked like he was about to kill his brother, "No, would you please leave me and Elena alone?" Damon ruined the moment. I knew what Stefan almost told me and I wanted to hear it. I frantically tried to think of a way to get Stefan focused on me again and not on Damon. I remembered how Stefan got me focused before while we were dancing. "Stefan" I said in a sweet low voice. He turned back towards me giving me all his focus. Damon watched me with angry eyes wishing I was his. I got up on my toes and kissed him. Damon grumbled and walked away not able to watch his brother happy with the girl he loved. This time Stefan didn't push me away or worry about what was going on around us he just let me kiss him. He released me back down so I was flat on my heels again. I looked up at him and said "Stefan Salvatore, I love you." After finally saying it I started to blush. The way he looks at me is like no other boy. Then Caroline and Bonnie walked out smiling with their dates in arm. I could easily say that prom night was the best night of my entire life! ❤️
