Emma's pov:

I walk into the Grill looking for Tyler. He texted me earlier to meet him here. So I escaped while Elena and Jenna talked over Stefan's mystery ex-girlfriend.

Yeah you got it right. Damon fed Elena with some historical facts. I can't guess why he'd do that.

I locate Tyler seated on a booth drinking.

"Hey Ty, what's up?" I ask walking up to him. He looks sober so maybe he was drinking just water. He gestures me to sit. He's all serious like. I sit cautiously.

"Is something wrong, Tyler?" I ask him.

"Em, look we are best friends but I like you more than that." He stares staring at the table. God I hope its not going where I think it is.

"Tyler..." I start but he interrupts me.

"Emma, just hear me out." He says finally looking up at me.

"Ty you have a girlfriend. Do you even remember her?" I question a bit harshly.

So as he has his girlfriend in the hospital, he'll start hitting upon other girls?

"She was never my girlfriend, Emma. She was just a...a distraction. I never even liked her that much. Look...I know it's coming out in a wrong way and I must be sounding like a douche bag but, I really like you, Em." He pauses.

"You're beautiful, you're attractive and one the top, you're a smart-ass. You've always been there for me, Em. I'm a total dick to your brother still you never cut me off. Everyone says Elena's the good-hearted one, but you, you have the biggest heart." He finishes looking straight into my eyes.

I stare at Tyler in absolute shock. Do I like him like that? I mean, Tyler's pretty hot but, is he the one?

Before I can say anything, Tyler leans on kissing me. I kiss him back and he kisses me passionately. When we pull away his face is lit with excitement. I bit my lips and he leans in giving a light peck on my lips.

"God I've never been so nervous with a girl. You're different, Emma." Tyler grins.

"I'm one of a kind, yes." I smile and he laughs.

"So, when are you taking me on our first official date, Mr Lockwood?" I ask sweetly.

He entwines his fingers through mine and says. "I'll text you, Miss Rivers."
I grin and give him a kiss on his cheek before turning, walking toward the door out.

Gosh I officially have a boyfriend. I gotta tell Caroline. I pull out my phone and send her a text.

Guess who's not single anymore?

-E

The cold air hits me as I step out. I shiver runs through me.

"Cold?" A male voice asks from behind me. I guess I know who's this. I spin around smiling.

"Hardin Salvatore." I drawl.

"The one and only." He smirks and I roll my eyes playfully. He looks his handsome self but I turn around heading in the direction of my house. I won't stand here and catch cold. Not even if it's Hardin Hot Salvatore I'm talking to.

"So... you're dating the mayor's kiddo?" Hardin questions falling into step beside me. I give him a suspicious look.

"How did you know? It literally happened, like, a few minutes ago."

"Well, I saw you two eating each other's mouth right in front of everyone. How cute."

"Are you stalking me?" I raise my eyebrows at him but the thought amuses me.
