Your Name is Hope Salvatore and You're the youngest of the Salvatore siblings. But what happens when you meet a handsome guy at the Mystic Grill? Will you ever forgive Stefan? Will Damon let you down? Will you and this man live happily ever after?
After seeing Stefan again, I needed a drink. While my brothers were talking about I'm gonna guess ..me, I snuck upstairs, put on a pair of jeans, vans and slipped on a jacket and went out the bedroom window. It was around 6:30 now and the air was cold. I breathed in the cooling air and when I breathed out I could see the cool air leaving my mouth. I pulled out my phone and just as I suspected, a million texts and calls from Damon like 'where are you!?' 'Come home now!' and the one I never expected he would use so quickly 'You promised' I knew he was trying to guilt-trip me into going back home but Damon out of all people should know, if you need a drink you need a drink.
I made it to the Mystic Grill. It wasn't far from home, around a 15-minute walk. I let out a sigh and walked in. It was pretty much dead considering it was around 7:00 am now. I walked down to the bar and sat down a stool away from a guy who was too busy looking at his phone to notice me. A few seconds later I was greeted by Matt. I hadn't seen Matt since two nights before I left town. When he saw me he jumped over the bar and gave me the biggest hug. I giggled ever so slightly. Once he put me down again he looked at me and hugged me once more. I giggled again. "Where the hell have you been Hope!" " I was living with Elijah in the french quarter for a few years. I'm sorry, I never thought to say goodbye." I looked down at my feet until I felt Matt's arms around me again "It's okay, I'm just happy you're back." Matt went back behind the bar and I took my place on the stool again. Matt brought out my signature drink. Bourbon. I know, shocker. He gave me a wink and went back to work. I giggled before I took a sip of my drink. "What brings you here so early" The man next to me spoke while still looking at his phone. " I needed a drink. You?" The man playfully but softly giggled to himself "I needed a drink" I giggled at the man's response and went back to my drink. The man put his phone away when Matt brought out his Drink. I turned to look at him.

He had brown fluffy hair, piercing blue eyes, a perfect smile, and a damn good figure. He was...perfect, or from where I was sitting at least. I must have been staring for a little longer than planned because he turned to look me straight in the eyes. A small smile started to pick at the sides of my mouth and a smirk on his. I felt my cheeks getting hot so I quickly turned around and took another sip of bourbon. "Kai" I turned back to the man "what?" "My name is Kai" He took out his hand gesturing for me to shake. "My name is Kai" I looked at his hand and then back into his blue eyes. "Hope" I took his hand and shook it gently and for that quick second, I felt safe.
