It was 8:00pm and I had already changed my outfit three times, changed my hair another four times and my make-up twice. My stomach was twisting and turning like I was a teenager about to go through with her first time and my hands couldn't keep still by my side. Truthfully, I was being ridiculous about the entire thing because wasn't as if Stefan hadn't seen me before or dated me before. It wasn't as though we hadn't kissed, hadn't had sex or hadn't talked about our feelings because we had done all those things.

Sighing, I gaze at myself in the mirror playing with the hem of my black and white peplum dress, the material went out my waist and the skirt was tight against my legs, highlighting my curves. I was wearing black pumps with only little heels not wanting to overdress. I decided to go with sophisticated but sexy look after an extremely long conversation with Elena on the phone who had managed to briefly calm me whilst I planned my outfit. After she had hung up the phone the nerves in me were like explosives and I had never felt like this before in my life, not even in 1864.

There was a soft knock at the door and I immediately froze on the spot. What was I supposed to do? How does a girl answer the door to what was considered a first date? I breathed in and out, doing one last look in the mirror and bringing my hair forward so it cascaded down my chest. I nodded a little in confirmation that my appearance was fine but what was I actually going to do when I saw Stefan?

"You can do this." I muttered to myself as I picked up my black trench coat from the coat rack and wrapped it around my waist.

I opened the door and seeing Stefan standing there in front of me with his dark shirt and black jeans with his biker boots just made everything inside me burn with desire. His eyes were shining and he had the most heart breaking yet dazzling smile on his face. The street lights were casting a glow on his face that just made him seem like an angel that had come down to save me. I smiled back at him when I noticed how his gaze had averted to my legs and then back up to my body in an almost discreet way.

"You look absolutely incredible." Stefan said smiling, holding out his arm for me.

"Thanks." I almost blushed, taking his arm and walking out of the house. "You look pretty good yourself."

"Just pretty good?" Stefan asked, raising his eyebrows as he opened the car door for me and I laughed at his puzzled expression. Everything about this moment just felt right, felt normal.

"You look hot and handsome, all in one." I smirked, crossing my legs as the leather of the seats brushed against them softly. "Is that better?"
"Much better." He grinned, slamming his car door shut and placing one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the edge of my seat, clearly testing the boundaries of tonight.

Smiling, I didn't do anything wanting to keep him on edge tonight just for the fun of it plus I just wanted a normal first date with him. I didn't want it to turn to every other night I had gone out with by sleeping with them at the first chance I got and thus making them fall further in love with me. I didn't want Stefan to just be any other guy. I wanted Stefan to be Stefan, the guy that I had spent over a century loving to the best that I could and the one I had always checked up on. I wanted Stefan to be the one because there was no other choice for me.

The trees and ever knowing houses of Mystic Falls were nothing but blurs as we drove past them with the radio humming in the background. It was like one of the movie scenes where the girl is staring through the window and smiling because she knows that the love of her life is sat right next to her and if everything did fade away around them, it would be okay because they would have each other. It's what I felt like right now with Stefan next to me because the only thing that mattered to me was him.
