Nina's POV
4 hours of filming nonstop, with only a couple of minutes break here in there we were finally done at 6:30.
I rushed to my room right after we the scenes we shot, I felt satisfied with the work we had done today. Even though I had to remake some scenes more than once, I felt satisfied when we watched them.
Interviewers from some magazine showed up on set to interview us as well, I did not finish my interview though, since I'm covered in fake blood, I told them I'd wash up then do my interview.
Since Ian was my ride, we agreed he'd drop me off at my place then come pick me up at 8:30. I was not feeling nervous, but extremely excited. Because it wasn't just some dinner, I knew it was going to be more than that. I knew it was going to be special.
By the time I cleaned off the fake blood and wore pair of jeans and a black tank top I left my room with my jacket around my waist and both my phone and house keys in my hand.
I knocked on Ian's dressing room that right across mine but he wasn't there.
"Nina." Paul said, snapping his fingers to capture my attention about 10 feet away.
"Yeah?" I asked, walking to where he stood.
"Why the rush?" He smirked.
"I'm going out." I replied, "See you tomorrow! Bye."
"Wait wait wait!" He said holding me back.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Um-" he scratched the back of his head, "Have you thought about your contract? For this?"
I shrugged, "I still haven't, Paul. Are you going to renew yours?"
"I'm not sure aswell. I want to but I feel like, there's something holding me back."
"It better not be because you're bored with me." I joked glaring at him.
He laughed, "No, I just I don't know.. Anyways we'll talk about it another time. Have fun in your date." He smirked wiggling his eyebrows.
"How do you even know I'm going on a date?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I found a condom packet in Ian's jeans pocket- and I also found dildos and vibrators in his dressing ro-" Unfortunately for him he couldn't finish his sentence as he burst out laughing, "The look on your face was priceless.. Why are you so shocked Ian has a condom in his pocket?"
I giggled rolling my eyes at him.
"Michael did you get that?" Paul said leaning against the wall still laughing, within a second Michael came out of the dressing room holding his phone taking a video.
I fake gasped, "Trevino how could you betray me that way?"
"I'm sorry, I just had to. We pranked Kat yesterday now it's your turn."
"Fuck you fucking fuckers". I flipped them off and walked, hiding my smile, those boys.. The worst and best prankers.
"Hey Nina!" Paul yelled at me.
"What now?"
"It was all a lie." He smirked.
I shook my head at him, "Bye boys, I'll see you tomorrow. Love you!"
"Love you too!" they yelled back before I heard them laughing again.
I walked back to the main part of the set, 5 seats were in the middle. 2 nterviewers sat in two of them and in front of them sat Ian.
He smiled when he noticed me standing, giving a slight wave.
"Hey Nina! Are you ready for your interview?"
I nodded, "Sure.."
"Could you please make it quick?" Ian interrupted, "She has been working hard all day, and I don't want her to be tired or stressed."
"Okay.. We'll try." The guy said,
whispering something to the woman. Ian looked at me and smiled, I mouthed 'I love you' to him, and held my hand, giving it a light squeeze in return.
"Should we go now?" The woman asked.
"Of course. Whenever you two are ready."
"First of all, let's talk about Elena in this season."
"So it's clear than Elena is broken and shattered from what we've seen in the first episodes."
"Yes. She just lost her lover and her bestfriend at the same time. I think it is normal, how sad she is. It even happens in real life." I explained.
"Yeah.. I like your acting it has a lot of emotions.. It's like when I'm watching you, I'm feeling what Elena's feeling or seeing what she's seeing-"
"Yeah my baby's a pro!" Ian interrupted then smiled sheepishly, "Sorry.. Go on."
We laughed at him and continued, "Thank you." I said, "I guess I can do the acting because I have once been where she was, I went through the losing someone important, so I know how to show the emotions and all that."
"Wow.. So when Damon comes-"
"If damon comes." Ian interrupted, smirking, "Sorry- shit- I mean ops sorry I did it again."
The interviewer laughed, "okay then, if Damon comes, what is going to happen between them, are they going to make it?"
I looked at Ian and asked, "Can we tell them?"
He shrugged, "I don't know."
"I would tell you.. But I'll get in deep trouble." I laughed.
"No, you won't." Ian said, shaking his head.
"But we could get in deep trouble."
"So?" He shrugged, "I'm joking. Yeah we'll be in deep trouble as what she said.. But Nina?"
"Yes, Ian?" I asked, a smile across my face.
"Are Elena and Damon going to make it this time? Are they going to work out?" He asked.
"I don't know.. Are they?" I asked Ian, teasing the interviewers.
"I asked first. You tell me." He smirked.
"Well I think.. I mean they always do."
"Oh god! You guys are driving us crazy." We laughed at that.
"Oh and we've heard that you'll be having an appearance of the Originals, is that true?"
"Yes it is true. I'm going to be playing Tatia. Another Petrova line doppleganger."
"Wow. Too many dopplegangers." The interview commented making us chuckle.
"One last question!" The other interview said.
"No more Delena, no more the vampire diaries. Now let's get to the real part, Nian."
"Oooh my favorite part," Ian rubbed his hands together grinning.
"Aw! Why is it your favorite part?"
"I love talking about us. I love saying saying us, meaning Neen and I."
I beamed when he said that and couldn't help but kiss his cheek.
"Aw!" They gushed.
"You're still going strong?"
Both Ian and I spoke at the same time but he shook his head, "You go first."
"Thank you. Yes, thankfully. Like every other relationships there are many ups and downs and bumpy roads. But together we learn from the downs and live for the ups. He just keeps going on, he inspires me and that's what I like about him." I said, looking down, blushing.
"Thank you Nina!." He paused before continuing, "She's just my favorite place.. No matter what I am doing, where I am or even when if she's with me then I will be perfectly fine." He smiled looking at me.
"Wow that was cute. Now I really want to date someone." The interviewer said and we laughed.
"Thank you for taking from your time for this."
"It's no problem." Both Ian and I said.
We waved at them and left together, hand in hand. "So baby.. Are you excited?" Ian asked.
I shrugged, "Not really." Lying onbviously, "I mean it's just dinner with you, nothing new."
"Ohh." He replied his eyebrows rising up.
I grinned and shook my head, "Of course I am, can't you tell by the look on my face that I had ever since this morning. I'm way more than excited, you know"
Ian chuckled, "You can be such a bitch sometimes. But I love you."
I smiled at him and blew a kiss as we got in his car. "I have no idea what to wear, though." I pouted.
"Then don't wear anything." He shrugged, as if it is something normal.
"You're okay with it?" I laughed.
"Yeah, I'll take you right on the table, in front of everyone."
I shook my head laughing, "But I wouldn't feel comfortable at all."
"I'm joking no one's aloud to see you naked or see your bare ass besides me. You're mine." He said, a smirk placed on his face.
"I am yours." I smiled, putting my hand on his thigh.
"Our reservation is at 8:30.. It's nearly 6:40 now. Do you think there's enough time for you to get ready?" He asked breaking the silence we've been sharing the past couple of minutes.
"It depends on what time you're going to pick me up?"
"Hm around 8:10?" He asked.
"Then hopefully there'll be enough time. Well, at least there will be if I decide what I'm going to wear now." I paused, "Okay quick what colour should I wear?" I figured it would be easier to choose something in a certain color.
"Any colour looks good on you. Whatever you like."
"Babe you know I fucking love you for saying stuff like that, but I need an answer. Please."
"Blue?" He replied though is sounded more like a question.
"Blue it is then." I smiled at him. "I'm going to say something in advance, thank you for tonight. I really need it, a break from all the drama and being with you."
"After everything, we fucking deserve it. Just us." He kissed my cheek, "I'll be here at 8:15."
"Okay." I smiled unbuckling my seat belt and getting out of the car.
"Neen wait!"
"Yes?" I replied, turning my back so I could see his face.
"No phones aloud tonight." He smirked.
I laughed, "Okay. Can I at least just put it in the car?"
"Nope.." He said popping out the p.
"Fine. Drive safelyI'll see you later, bye love you."
"I love you too!" He stayed until I got in the house and yelling right before driving away. "By the way, it's a date." Making me giggle.
I sighed when I got in, I missed having the boys around me and Claire when I got in the house, it felt too lonely.
I frowned to myself, remembering the times when I got in and was greeted by the loud laughs of the boys, Daniel, Joseph and Nate. And of course, Claire.. Damn I felt lonely.
I checked the time on my phone and panicked rushing to my bathroom. I only had 55 fucking minutes to get ready.. And usually, I need at least an hour and a half to get ready.
I showered with my makeup on so it would be easier then, all I would have to do is remove the smears and it would still have remains which will be faster to just reapply instead of applying all over again.
Normally, a dinner with Ian I wouldn't be this nervous, but I don't know why I felt like there were dragons inside my stomach, flying around. I mean, we haven't had a date in over a year. Yes we went to dinners, lunches all the time, but it was usually, "oh hey let's go to dinner" or "I'm hungry let's go eat something" but no today felt weird.
41 minutes left, thank god. I took my time drying my hair then started my makeup. I applied smoky eyeshadow, eyeliner, bronzer then my favourite lipstick. I contoured my lips well but didn't put lipstick, I figured I'd choose the colour after I choose an outfit.
It didn't take long to curl my hair into slight waves and after I did I got to the hardest part. Clothes....
After 10 minutes of wearing then taking off at least 8 different dresses I decided on one thing in the end. A grey jumpsuit which I've never worn and I thought it is time I finally wear it. I put on my black loboutouns and matched them with a red lipstick.
And the heard work paid off.
I sighed in relief when I saw it was just 8:03.
Reaching across my phone I found that I had 2 missed calls from Julie, and lots of messages from her spamming me.
I called immediately, whenever something like that happens the first thing that comes to my mind is something tragic.
I was even more shocked when I heard her voice, "Nina." She cried.
"Jules?" I gasped getting up
"It's it's Derek. I don't what happened he's in the emergency rooms right now-"
"Oh my fucking god!! Where are you now? California, New York or wherever I'll-"
She cut me off, "I- I don-" the line was cut off.
I was freaking out so badly that I didn't even notice tears running down my face, I dialed her number again and she finally answered after 5 rings.
Her voice wasn't clear but then suddenly she started laughing, "That's what you get for not telling about your date tonight."
Normally I would've laughed about it but I felt anger towards her, I was only one second from cancelling with Ian.
"Julianne! That was not funny! Do you have any idea how scared I was?" I snapped.
"Sheesh come down, you're going to see him in a few minutes. Send me a picture of what you're wearing now!" She demanded.
"How about we facetime?" I suggested.
"Fine."
Within seconds I saw her face on the screen, "Hey. I would've asked for opinions but I didn't think there would be enough time so I chose the outfit by myself." I said switching the camera so she could see my clothes from the reflection on my mirror.
"Damn girl you look fucking hot. I'd do you in the backseat of the car before even reaching the restaurant." She wiggled her eyebrows up and down.
I rolled my eyes at her commen , "Do you think my makeup is too much? I-"
She interrupted, "No, no. It's just fine."
"You sure?" I asked.
It was her turn to roll her eyes now, "You'd think after all this time of being with Ian, you wouldn't feel this away about a fucking dinner and yet you still make it seem like it's your first date again and again."
"Oh shush. Who told you by the way?" I asked.
"Nina, Nina, oh Nina.. I have my ways." She smirked.
"And what are those 'ways'?" I asked.
"Something that stars with C ends with E."
"Caroline? Ops sorry Candice?" I asked.
"No. I'm joking, Ian told me." She smiled. "Okay slut I'll leave you alone for now. Go prepare whatever bullshit you need. Tell me everything tomorrow, and it's about time you two have a baby! Aw I'll be an aunty again." She joked.
I laughed before pressing the end button. And right on time Ian called, "Hey."
"Hey!" I replied, sounding a little bit too over excited.
"Soo I'm exactly a minute away from your house, I know I'm 5 minutes early but better earlier than later."
I chuckled, "It's fine. I'm ready." Lie.
"Okay good." He commented and I heard him smile into the phone.
"Soo.. I'll see you in a few, bye." As soon as I hung up, I ran across the room to fetch my clutch. I put in my phone, headphones, gum, compact power and lipstick before closing it. With my keys and clutch in hand, I left the house, locking it behind me.
I was greeted by Ian, leaning on the hood of the car. A grin came across his face when he saw me get out of my house, he walked over to me, cupping my face with both his hands. "Wow. I'm going to keep stuttering all night if I look at you. You look.. beyond gorgeous, amazing and beautiful combined." His lips fell on my forehead placing a soft sweet kiss, almost making me weak in the knees. Ian..
After years and he still knocks on my feet.
He was dressed in a black suit and a black buttoned up shirt. I must admit, Ian in all black has always been my favorite Ian.
"I like your new hair." I complemented. It was obvious he cut an inch or so, his hair was also in a different style that looked sexy on him.
He opened the door for me as I sat down then closed the door for me. He went to the other side and got in. "So you ready?" He asked.
"Yes." I smiled at them and the next few minutes we sat in an awkward silence, none of us saying anything with quiet music in the background.
I shook my head, "Okay I get we haven't been out together like this in a long time but this awkwardness is killing me."
Ian laughed, "I know.. You can't blame for being nervous though!" He winked.
"Why are you nervous?" I asked smouldy.
Why are you nervous, a part of my mind asked me.
"Um my girlfriend is sitting right next to me, and I'm supposed to hold myself until the rest of the night."
My girlfriend...
I didn't hear him say those words in a long time.. Last I did, he was talking about Andrea. But this time, he meant me.
"Oh shit. You're my girlfriend right? I mean I didn't ask you again yet. But um.. You are right?"
I laughed at the fact he looked scared for some reason, "The whole wide world knows that I'm yours, except for you. That's funny."
"So it was implied right?" He asked.
I nodded, "Yes."
"Well I just want to be certain.. Nina Dobrev, having you mine again would mean everything to me. So will you be my girlfriend? Now I know driving and asking is not the most romantic way, but, if you do say no, I'm going to drive right into the car in front of me. So it's either you say yes and be with me or you say no and die with me." He grinned devilishly, "The answer goes to you. You decide. Either ways, you can never get rid of me."
"Yes Ian, I would love to." I giggled leaning in and placing a kiss on his shoulder.
"I'm glad."
"You are very romantic Ian, threatening to kill the both of us if I say no." I laughed loudly.
"What can I say? I'm very fucking romantic." He smirked, doing the habit he's been doing a lot lately, he took my hand and placed it on his lap.
"Did I tell you how good you look right now?" He asked making me giggle.
"Yes Ian."
"Oh well. Then I will say it again. You look fucking hot."
I giggled again, sounding like a highschool girl, "Y-"
"Would you mind if I cancelled our dinner, and we went straight to my place?" He asked.
"Okay."
"What?" His eye widened, "I'm only joking of course we're going to dinner. I'm going to show you off like a real man, I'm going to make the whole world see who you belong to. I won't care if paparazzi surround us, because hey, at least we'll get good quality pictures of us and every one will know you're mine fucking Nina."
"I know, Ian. I'm yours and I'll always be." It was so hard to resist kissing him at the moment, but I had to unless I wanted us to crash.
I put the radio and a high volume, I laughed when I realised what song it was.
"Perfect song as of right now. What do you think?" I asked grinning.
"Damn right. Woo!" He said, putting the radio on the highest.
"When I am with you there's no place I'd rather bee." Ian and I yelled the lyrics singing along and laughing.
"I missed this." I laughed, after the song finished.
"Me too.. I'm going to make sure this time I won't ever hear those words come out of your mouth. Alright we're finally here, let's go." He turned of the engine, "Don't even try getting out." he took out a small cartier bag from the bag before coming to my side and opening it for me.
"Thank you." After what felt like waiting so long, I finally had the chance to kiss him. Of course, and so I did.
"Let's go." He said, locking his car as I held his hand tightly.
"I love you, Ian. I really do, more than anything. I just felt like letting it out." I said looking down shyly.
"I love you too." He smiled opening the door of the restaurant for me.
"Hello how can I help you?" A young man asked us when we got in.
"I have a reservation under the name of Ian Somerhalder." Ian answered.
"Mr. Somerhalder, welcome in. And hello, Mrs. Somerhalder." A waitress came and guided us all the way in the place and then we took the stairs, a table set for two was in the middle of the room, candles and black mixed with red rose petals everywhere. We had a view of the city on the left side and then a view of the restaurant downstairs on the right side.
"I'll go get some water and the best champagne, while you two decide what you want."
As soon the waitress left Ian slid the small red bag in front of me, a grin stretched across his face.
"What is this?"
He shrugged, "See for yourself."
And so I did. The bag had a red box inside, I opened it and gasped.
"Wow this is beautiful." Holding the necklace he gave me.
"You see there's 5 diamonds for the 5 years we've been together, each year I'm going to add one more diamond. And by the time we're old the whole necklace will be filled with diamonds."
I knew there were tears in my eyes by now, happy tears of course. I just want to be with him for the rest of my life, I don't care about the diamonds he gave me. I just want him, all to myself..
"I love you babe.. If it was just you snd me tonight eating even kfc at my place and you gave me sourpatch kids, I would've been the happiest. Being with you is what matters the most to me, not the time nor the place. Just you. And I hope we'll stay this way forever until we die, and if there's a forever after we die, then we'll be together, stronger than ever. You're the one for me, I have seen it clearly before but I've realised after everything we've been through, a year in hell with you is better than being in heaven for ten years without you." I told admitted everything I felt inside of me.
