Stefan's POV
I went to the diner for a bite to eat. There was this negro waiter. She had a lighter complexion. These 2 boys were messing with her.
"Oooh wee. You're a pretty little nigger aren't yah." They we're grabbing on her
"Leave me alone." She said
"Who do you think you're talking to." Another one said he got in her face and she looked at him and didn't say word.  I got up to defend her.
"Is there a problem." I asked
"N-No sir. Everything is fine" she stuttered
"You heard her. Now back off" the man said to me while pushing me.
"Alright. Ok" I said putting my hands up. And I walked out. I stayed around till they walked out. It was about the time the waiter was getting off of work. She walked to her car but was interrupted by the same man who was messing with her while she was working. He pushed her against the car.
"Get off of me!" She yelled. He was trying to rape her. I vamp sped over there and started sucking his blood killing him.
"Who are you?" She asked
"You're not scared of me?" I asked her
"I'm a voodoo witch. You're not the first of your kind I've seen." She said smiling
"I'm Stefan." I held out my hand while smiling at her
"I'm Imani." She said whole shaking my hand.
"So where are you from?" I asked her
"New Orleans. Couldn't you tell by my accent?" She asked me smiling
"Yeah. I think so." I said while laughing. She laughed along with me.
"Well I have to go." She said
"Wait. Umm... can I have your number." I asked her
"Ummm. No" she said. She started to open her car door I closed it
"Wait why?" I asked
"Thank you for saving me but..." she stopped
"But what?" I asked her
" I just can't." She said and she got in her car and ran off.

NEXT DAY
The next day. I had a brilliant idea. I went to the diner and I compelled everyone to just keep on doing what they were doing while me and Imani were on a date. She walked into the diner. And I went to speak to her.
"Hello" I said smiling
"What are you doing? Why are you speaking to me? And why are you in the colored section? I'll get in trouble." She said
"I compelled everyone in this diner to ignore me and you while we're on a date." I said
"Date? I never agreed to a date with you." She said
"Well how about breakfast? Lunch? Dinner" I said
"You will not give up will you." She said smiling
"No. Because when I see something that I like I always make sure I get it." I said brushing her hair back behind her ear. She started blushing.
"Fine. Since you've done all this we might as well do it now." She said

Imani's POV
This man had me wrapped around his finger. I haven't felt like this since Klaus. Maybe I should get over him. He's dead and I know he's never coming back. So maybe I should give this guy a chance and move on. We sat down at the table and he asked me some questions
"So where were you born and when?" He asked me
"I was born in 1802 in New Orleans. Your turn" I said smiling
"I was born in 1846 right here in Mystic Falls" he said
"And when did you become a vampire?" I asked him
"1864."
"How are you still alive?" He asked me
I laughed, "some witch herbs and voodoo magic can slow downs he aging process but I still can die." I said
"Well your aging pretty well cause you're beautiful." He said
I smiled trying not to blush.
"Are you flirting with me Stefan?" I asked him smiling
"Depends. Are you falling in love with me?" He asked smirking
"Oh my" I started laughing. He actually is making me fall in love with him.
"I'm serious" he said smirking
"Maybe" I said smiling
"Oh don't be a tease." He responded
"You'll survive." I laughed
"So for the big question.... have you ever been in love before?" He asked me
I was silent for a while
"Yes. I have." I said
"What happened?" Stefan asked me
"He died." I said
"How?" He asked
"What is this 20 questions?" I asked kind of harshly
"I'm sorry." He said
"No I'm sorry you were just being curious. But we have been running from someone. One night he found us. He stabbed me and I don't know what happened next. I woke up and the whole place was lit on fire. I assumed he was dead so I left."
"Wow. Well we both can say our ex's died in a similar way. My ex was burned in a church back in 1864."
"Wow I'm sorry." I said grabbing his hand.
We both had a stare off.  I looked away so he wouldn't see me blushing.
"Wow it's night already?" I said looking outside. He was looking outside also. I checked my watch.
"Oh I got to go. It's late." I said getting up
