After the dinner party, Enzo and I left awkwardly. Enzo decided he needed to go back home after spending multiple days in a row with me, which was understandable, but my nights were long and boring without him. I slept much better when I was with him, but I managed. I woke up, realizing what day it was. It was the annual founder's day ball, and since I was one of the founding families, I was nominated to be in the founder's court. My escort, of course, being Enzo. I had no idea who the rest of the women in the court would be, but I didn't really care. I dialed Enzo's number, calling him. 

"Good morning, love. How'd you sleep?" He asked as he picked up. "Good, do you know what day it is?" Enzo thought for a minute. "Uhh, Saturday?" I sighed. "It's the founder's day ball! I was in the court, so we need to get a tux for you and a big dress for me." Enzo groaned. "Why can't we just stay home and have fun by ourselves?" I sighed. "Good joke. Meet you at my place in ten. Love youuu," I sang as I hung up the phone. I knew Enzo didn't want to be my escort, but he didn't have much of a choice. He was my boyfriend, after all. I got a bite from Mrs. Carlton, and not too long after, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see Enzo, in his usual outfit. I was beyond excited to be apart of this, since I was finally back in Mystic Falls and old enough to be a part of the court. I jumped into his arms, Enzo catching me as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He chuckled, putting me down. "I can tell you're excited." I smiled brightly. "Of course I am! I'm with the best man ever, who also happens to be escorting me to the founder's day ball." Enzo smiled, leaning in for a kiss. I kissed him back passionately for a moment, before pulling away, grabbing my bags and keys, leading Enzo to my car. "I'll drive, love. Just tell me where we are going." Enzo smiled at me as I got in the passenger. Although it was my car, I loved it when he drove. He always had one hand on the wheel, the other on my thigh, and he managed to look incredibly sexy while doing so.

We drove to the mall, going to one of the dress shops to find a perfect founder's day ball gown. We walked in, holding hands, scanning the dresses. I picked out a couple that caught my eye, taking them back to the fitting rooms. "I want to pick a dress without telling you, so you'll be surprised when you see me for the first time." I said to Enzo through the door. I could hear him laugh as he said okay. I peeped my head out of the door. "Can you help me put this one on?" I winked. Enzo smirked, looking around to make sure no one was paying attention. He stepped in, seeing me not needing any help with any dress. "Which one are you trying to put on?" He played along, putting a hand on my waist. "Um, this one," I said, leaning in for a kiss. Enzo and I made out for a bit before I pulled away, deciding it wasn't a good idea. Enzo sighed, which made me feel bad because I lead him on, but I knew we shouldn't.

I finished trying on dresses, picking out one that was yellow with a poofy bottom and some diamonds along the waistline. I told Enzo to wait outside of the store while I bought it so that he wouldn't know which one I went with. We bought Enzo a tux, heading back home. It was still hours until the ball, so we relaxed for a bit before having to get ready. I was laying in bed on my phone when Enzo, shirtless and wet hair, who just got out of the shower, pushed his head in between my arms, which made me drop my phone. I giggled, "What are you doing?" I said while giggling. He kissed me gently, putting his hands on my cheeks. I wrapped my arms around his back while he laid his head on my chest. I ran my hands through his hair. "What's wrong, baby?" I asked him, running my fingers through his wet hair. "I'm tired, love. I don't want to go to this." I sighed. "Enzo, please, do this for me." Enzo put his head up, looking at me. "I'm going to, love, only if I get to see you in and out of the gorgeous dress you bought." I smiled. "Of course," I said. Enzo kissed me again, wrapping his hands around my body. "I have to get ready, Enzo," I whined, not wanting to get up. He groaned. "We can do this tonight, I promise." He nodded, rolling over to the other side of the bed. 

I stood up, going to the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door after my shower. "Enzo, Stefan and Damon are coming to pick you up, go get ready." Enzo walked out of my bedroom in a tux. I was still wrapped in a towel. "You look so handsome!" I swooned. Enzo came over to me, hugging. He pulled my towel off. "Oops, I didn't mean to do that..." He said sarcastically. I gave him a look that said, 'really?' He laughed, running his hands up and down my naked body. He kissed my jawline. "Enzo, Stefan just texted me that he's here." Enzo groaned, pulling away. "We can finish this later, gorgeous." He shot me a wink as he walked down the steps. I rolled my eyes as I went back into the bathroom. I put on a bra, underwear, spandex, and a corset. I put my dress over my head, putting some heels on. I curled my hair, putting a diamond pin in the back, securing my half up half down hairdo. Elena texted me, saying she was here. I got outside, holding my white wallet. I opened the door, stepping in the car. Elena turned to me, Caroline in the passenger. "You look beautiful," Elena said to me. "Awh, thank you so much," I smiled. "You guys do, too."
