Waking Up In Vegas

Chapter 6

Elena's P.O.V.

I stare at myself in the full length mirror, trying to figure out why I had talked Caroline into doing my makeup and buying me this ridiculously expensive dress!

I hear her groan outside of the bathroom in the hotel room suite. She's been sitting on my bed with boxes and bags scattered everywhere, impatiently waiting as she knocks on my door.

"Are you going to be in there all night! You know, I would love telling Stefan that you didn't make it and that he could go find someone else to use his jet and flirty antics with. I'm sure he'd enjoy it." Caroline tells me, irritation in her tone as she exhales deeply and leans her head against the closed door.

"I'll be out in a minute...Plus, don't you have a honeymoon to get too! I thought you said your plane was leaving tonight?" I ask, placing the pearl earrings into my ears and then straightening the ends of my hair.

"Oh, Klaus and I are leaving at midnight. Which, gives me enough time to hear all about your date and listen to you rave about our next cover story...I can picture it now 'Elena Gilbert, falls madly in love with Stefan Salvatore after one night of hot passionate...sex!" Caroline rattles on as I slowly open the door, revealing myself and her outfit choice.

I watch as she's got her hands up in the air and her back turned towards me and she continues to talk about the magazine. But, her movements all stop when she turns in my direction and looks over at me.

"Oh, ! He's not going to be able to keep his hands off of you in that dress! I knew that empire waist turquoise colored short sleeve dress was going to look beautiful! Oh, you look so freaking cute with your hair all pinned back into a half ponytail and your makeup all done up! Stefan's going to lose his mind!" Caroline says with a laugh as she leans over and hugs me tightly, just as we both hear a rapid knock at the door and freeze.

"Oh, well! Looks like I've got to disappear. It's show time!" Caroline says softly, darting into the bathroom as I shake my head and look at her in confusion. What the hell, she was supposed to stick around and meet Stefan!

I take a deep breath as I softly tell whoever it is to hang on. Closing my eyes and breathing through my nose as I grab my purse and walk over to the door, opening it and automatically being met with his bright green eyes.

"Wow, you look..amazing." He tells me with a wide smile as lean against the door frame, watching him tilt back onto his heels, hands in his pockets of his jeans. His gray blazer is nicely pressed, a black button up dress shirt under and a red v-neck vest on top of the button up shirt can be seen under the jacket.

"You don't look too bad you're self Mr. Salvatore." I say in a polite tone as Stefan laughs and smiles at me again.

"Shall we? I'd hate to keep the pilot waiting." He says with a grin as he holds out his hand towards me and I gently take it. Pulling the door shut behind me as he leads me down the hall and towards the stairs of the hotel.

"Stefan, why are we going to the back of the hotel, I thought you had said that the paparazzi wouldn't bother us?" I ask him with a smile as Stefan opens the door that leads down to the stairs.

"Well, someone squealed and now they're all crowed in the front of the building. Waiting to hound me and my beautiful date..this is the way I avoid them!" He tells me as he grabs my hand into his and we walk down the stairs that leads down into a parking garage.

Stefan's P.O.V.

I watch as Elena smiles at me and laughs.
