Waking Up In Vegas

Chapter 4

Stefan's P.O.V.

My mind feels like it's going to implode from the pressure. From the realization. I know them and I have no idea how I didn't remember their faces, two women like that are very hard to miss!

So, as Lexi watches me sit down on one of the sofas in the lobby, I watch as a few guests pass by me and I nearly feel sick from it all. "Lexi, I'm going to head up back to my room for a while. I um, I need to figure some stuff out." I tell her, turning slightly as she smiles at me and nods.

As I take the elevator up, I pass by a few familiar faces as they smile at me. Mostly people from the wedding reception, leaving the hotel and heading back home. Unlocking the door, my mind races back to just a few years ago...2007...when I had first saw them, in the airport in Denver...

"Oh, for the love of God! Caroline, I'm telling you I'll be there in five minutes, can't a girl just pee without being bothered! Look, I'm standing in line and getting coffee and then I'll meet you at the terminal. It's G7, right? Aha, Okay. Bye." She rambles on as I stand behind her, watching her run her hands through her hair as she lets out a sigh.

"Business trip?" I ask, smiling at her as she looks up from her blackberry, nodding in response as we both move forward in the line that's been forming.

"I'm sorry that you had to hear that! Ha, I'm embarrassed now. Um, yeah. We made a pit stop here and then we're heading out to Orlando, Florida for a conference." She says, pulling out her wallet. I watch her rummage through her purse for a minute before she curses under her breath.

"Son of a bitch! I forget my credit card. Great, and I have no cash. Ha." She says, blushing a bit as she finally looks up at me, our eyes locking on each other briefly.

"Hey, It's okay. I can pay for you both." I try offering. She smiles up at me again, her dark brown eyes smiling along with her.

"It's um..Just for me." She says, shyness in her voice as she steps to my left side and I pull out my wallet, watching as she glances down at it and smiles.

"Wow, that's a larrie leather wallet, right?" She says, sounding confident in her question as I take a 20 dollar bill from it and then shut it, placing it back into my jeans as I nod.

"Yeah, You know men's fashion..pretty well." I tell her, watching as she slightly blushes and then she laughs. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm an intern, so I'm still learning."

My cell phone in my pocket starts to buzz as I hand her the 20 dollar bill and smile. "um, I'm afraid I've got to get going. But, keep the change. It was nice talking to you...Miss?" I try fishing for her name, hoping that she will give in when she nods her head, replying with "Thanks, Have a safe flight." as I watch her turn away from me and back to the sales associate.

2 hours later and more than enough caffeine later, I find myself on the plane, sitting down as I hear the blonde giggle at me. "God! Just wait until I tell her who I sat by! You're Stefan Salvatore..Your face covers Bello, People and Glow Magazine...Oh, she's going to be so jealous!" The blonde tells me, running her slim fingers against my arm as I look up at her. Her blue eyes are dark with pure desire as I smile at her.

"Yeah, I am and for some odd reason, I didn't take my private jet. So, I...I ended up in first class here with you. You can thank my brother for that one." I tell her, smirking at her. She nearly spits out her water and then embarrassingly wipes the water off her mouth with a laugh.

"Damon...Your brother! Oh...Thank You God for allowing me to sit next to this hot man." She says, under her breath as she laughs, blushing .
