Chapter 16
Elena
"Call me when you get home otherwise I'll be worried." Bonnie says as we watch Stefan and Damon load our luggage into their car. "You know I will mom." I tell her sarcastically, rolling her eyes she passes Charlotte to me so I can get my last minute hugs and kisses. "I'm so happy for you and Stefan, you two are going to last Elena I know it." Nodding my head I agree with Bonnie, we will make it no matter what. "Ready to go?" Stefan asks me while opening the back passenger door. "Yeah I am." Bonnie takes Charlotte and hugs me tightly. "I love you." A few tears slide down my cheek while I whisper to her, "I love you too Bon, please talk to Damon and tell him how you're feeling." She nods and backs away with a few tears of her own.
"Well, you and Stefan should get going before ya'll miss your flight. Stefan please take care of my girl, I will come to New York and hunt you down if you don't." Stefan chuckles and kisses her cheek before pulling me into his side laying a tender kiss to my lips. "That's one thing you won't have to worry about Bonnie, Lena's in good hands." I smirk at him, "More like amazing hands." Damon makes a gagging noise and we all laugh at his immaturity. "Ok kids if I'm driving you to the airport I suggest you get into the car."
Finally we get to my apartment and it feels weird being back, its like this every time I leave Mississippi. "Well, here's home." I turn to Stefan and he's all smiles. Ever since we got into the Uber car he's been in good spirits, I just hope that its not for me, I hope that he's actually happy to be here. "I love it babe, its you in every way." He says stepping towards me taking me into his arms. I stare into his eyes and my breath is taken away, I'm really here with him. "As soon as we get our own place it will be us in every way." I peck him on the lips making him hum. "Want to show me the bedroom?" I bite my lip and take his hand, "Follow me." I whisper seductively.
We walk across the living room into the hallway and soon we're standing just outside my bedroom door. Stefan picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. "Here we are." I purr into his neck giving him a lick. "Thank fuck." Stefan growls and soon we're stumbling through the door and falling onto my California King. "I'm so fucking happy to be here with you." I help him out of his shirt and start on his belt, "I'm so fucking happy you're here too."
The moment is suddenly interrupted thanks to someone knocking on my door, I groan and fall back onto the bed. Stefan chuckles bending down to kiss me. "It's probably one of your friends." I snort and roll my eyes, yeah right. "My friends live in Mississippi Stefan, no one is really your friend in the modeling agency. Well except for Caroline, but I knew her before we went into this world of crazy." I roll from under him and make my way to the front of the apartment, letting out an annoyed breath I open the door. "Thank God you're back!" I sigh, damn I should've known. "Rebekah, what are you doing here?" The British blonde giggles as she adjusts her Coach bag on her arm. "Well silly I am your agent and I need to make sure that you're ready for Tuesday's shoot." I lean against the door and internally slap myself, "Yeah about that I twisted my ankle at my brother's house and its still pretty swollen. I emailed Kol and told him about the accident and that I would need Haley to fill in for me, he was perfectly fine with it."
Rebekah laughs out loud and I am so confused, I hear Stefan's footsteps behind me and I already know that Rebekah's going to drool over him. "Look Elena, I really need you, oh hello who are you handsome?" Stefan clears his throat and sticks his hand out, "Stefan Salvatore." Rebekah bites her lip and shakes his hand firmly like the business woman she is, however I know the horny slut she can be when she's had a few drinks in her. Not saying she's a man stealing girl, but Stefan is a hot as fuck guy. "Nice to meet you Stefan, friend of Elena's? A male model maybe?" Stefan laughs shaking his head as he pulls his hand back, "No, I'm not a model, but I am Elena's boyfriend." I smile brightly and stand up taller next to my man. Shock hits Rebekah's face and then she gushes. "Oh my God, you're the ex! The Stefan! Hi I am Rebekah Mikaleson, Elena's agent." I cut in before she says anything else, "Now boyfriend again, we're back together and Stefan just came back to New York with me."
Popping her sun glasses over her eyes Rebekah smirks at me, "Well, well, well looks like you do need Tuesday off after all you little minx. I wouldn't let him out of the bedroom unless its for hydration and to piss." Stefan kisses my head and I'm cringing from her blunt words, but I know my man and this isn't embarrassing him one bit. "Don't worry Elena will be there Wednesday with a smile on her face." With a wave of her hand Rebekah is walking away and I elbow Stefan in the gut. "What? I was only doing that for you." I giggle as he picks me up, "Oh, so you're not going to keep me bedded for the next two days?" Wrapping his arms around me Stefan pulls me to him, so we're chest to chest. "Mmmm, having you bedded is an amazing idea." I hum and get on my tip toes to kiss him hard. "Yeah, one hell of an idea."
Wednesday morning comes too damn, Stefan and I went exploring the city, eating at all the amazing restaurants and to one of my favorite bars before today. I wanted to ask him to show me some of his favorite places, but that's going to take baby steps to get to. One day I'll soften him up to taking me to his old haunts. The other time we used was in bed making up for all the time we didn't have together, we still haven't done much talking about us or why he went to prison and for now it can wait. Thankfully last night before we fell asleep we were able to check out some apartment listings in the Manhattan area, once I'm done here in the studio we're checking them out. I walk into Mikaleson's Talent with like Stefan promised, a smile on my face. I wave to Cami the receptionist and she waves back with a sweet smile, Niklaus Mikaleson, Rebekah's brother and owner of the agency has had his eyes on the sweet southern blonde for a while. Cami coming from New Orleans had a lot to talk about with me, not only because we're both southern girls, but because my mother was born and raised in New Orleans. "How was your Thanksgiving Cami?"
She looks around the lobby before she walks over to the elevators to see me. "Klaus made a move." I cover my mouth to keep my squeal from echoing. "Shut the fuck up, are you serious?" Cami blushes red and nods her head fast. "Yes, he asked me if I was going home for the holiday and when I told him that I couldn't go see my brother or uncle due to my rent needing to be paid, he kissed my cheek and told me he would take care of it. I of course told Klaus he couldn't do that, but he said that he was buying my airline tickets and then taking me to dinner when I got back." I hug her and we both squeal like little girls. "Cami that is awesome!" She sighs dreamily, I'm happy for her. "Yeah, we're going to dinner tonight and I won't lie Elena, as much as I like the guy, he's also intimidating. I mean hell, he's taking me to Per Se, that place is fucking expensive." I wave her off and press the up button on the elevator knowing that I need to get to the 25th floor. "Cami everything will be fine, Klaus will do his best to impress you. He'll wine and dine you, but the one thing you need to let him know is that while that's fine for him to do, you won't be bullshitted either." The ding sounds out and I step into the posh elevator. "Remember to let him know that you're a person and not an object." Cami nods and the door closes, I lean back onto the wall and pray that Klaus gets to keep his balls in tact. He's already knocked Haley Marshal up and when she was out on maternity leave I came in and 'took' her spot, so now she's had it out for me ever since. I will never understand these stupid women and their hunger to be the top bitch in this industry. Me? I'm just doing what I love and making money from doing it.
Once I'm done with the shoot Stefan sends me a text saying that he's down in the lobby making my heart race. I practically jump up and run to the elevator, I sling my bag over my shoulder and bounce on my heels as I wait for them to open. "Eager to leave?" I look over to see Haley smirking at me and I roll my eyes. "My boyfriend's down in the lobby, so yeah I'm excited to get out of here." She crosses her arms and walks closer to me, "Ooh, a boyfriend huh? When did this happen?" The elevator opens and we both step inside. "We dated when I was a teenager before I left Mississippi and we reconnected over the summer, made us official again while I was down for Thanksgiving and now he's here with me." Haley clucks her tongue, "Wow, he must be one hell of a guy to just leave his country boy life and come all the way here to be with you."
Its my turn to smirk now. "That he is, but he's no country boy. Stefan is from New York." The doors open and I all but run out to where Stefan is standing. When he turns to me his green eyes light up and within a second he's got me in his arms. "Missed you." I wrap my arms around his neck and lay a sweet kiss to his luscious lips. "Missed you too babe." He smiles and my thighs clench, damn he drives me wild. "Ready to go look at apartments?" I nod my head and just as we part Haley is standing there like some creep gawking at us. "Stefan is that really you?" Her eyes are big as saucers and her mouth is hanging open. This is just fucking great, I mean sure the saying is throw a rock in the south and you'll hit someone you know, but who would've thought that Stefan would run into someone he knows in a fucking Manhattan modeling agency? And not just anyone, no fucking Haley Marshall.
Stefan walks away from me wearing a shocked expression. "Haley?" She's grinning now and squeals like a pig. "Its me!" They throw their arms around one another and I feel like its him and Tessa all over again. I know that I shouldn't feel jealous, but Stefan and I literally just started up again and I feel like he's going to be taken from me. Haley is no Tessa for one and two apparently she and my boyfriend have some kind of history. Also, I know that he will only be taken from me if I allow myself to be some jealous, insecure bitch. Clearing my throat makes them break apart, Haley throws her light brown hair over her shoulder and looks at me like I kicked her. "How do you two know each other?" Stefan chuckles and pulls me to him, he puts an arm around my shoulder and looks to her. "Haley and I lived in the same foster home the last three years I was in one, we were dating when everything went down between me and Silas." Haley laughs shaking her head now and I want to punch her in her pretty little face, "This is too weird, Elena you've been with Stefan and then modeled for Silas." She says the last part like its the most funniest thing ever. It may have been kept out of the papers and social media, but everyone in this business knows who I am and what happened to me. Haley and I aren't friends, so it isn't like she ever said anything about knowing who Silas is, she never mentioned Stefan either. "Elena had no idea that Silas and I are brothers." She waves her hand making a face, "No, I'm sure she didn't and what happened was the worst thing ever. I'm just in awe though, what are the odds of my ex and you being together and then you and I working together?" I sigh oh yeah what are the damn odds? "Yeah, its pretty damn bizarre." I lay my hand on Stefan's back and tap him signaling him that we need to go. "Its been damn good seeing you Haley, but we're on our way to meet with a realtor." She slinks over to him and hugs him in a seductive way, maybe I'm crazy and it's innocent, but he's mine. "We need to meet up sometime and reminisce."
"Sounds great, things are really looking up for me now that I'm getting my life back on track." Stefan says to her sweetly and I can't tell if he's being fake or not. "Looks like you coming home was the right move, I've missed the hell out of you." Haley kisses Stefan's cheek and he does the same to her. "It really is." He responds then takes my hand in his. I wave to Haley and leave with him.
I'm silent as we hail a cab, once we're in Stefan gives the driver the address and I look out the window. "You ok?" I nod, I don't want to argue with him over something stupid. I don't want to argue with him at all, we're in a new relationship and things are going great. "You're sure?" I nod again trying to keep my mouth shut. Stefan touches my chin and turns my face to his, he looks concerned and I break. "Haley and I don't get along ok, she hates me because when she was out on maternity leave that's when Rebekah brought me here. I signed a contract and in Haley's eyes, I took her spot. I've been getting all the bigger opportunities and she's not." Leaning back in the seat Stefan chuckles, "Haley's always been a bitch Elena, she'll get over it eventually." I shake my head and laugh at him, "Stefan you do realize that when it comes to me and you being together there's always a bitchy ex around." Smiling he cups my face and whispers against my lips, "Well, I have only ever been in love with you." I'm swept into his lips on mine after that, we're making out like a couple of teens and I don't care. Haley's right about one thing, him coming back to New York has been the right thing. We're finally starting our lives together and its the best thing to happen to us in such a long time. Stefan moves my hair behind my ear, "I love you so much Lena." I peck his lips and hold his hand, "I love you too Stefan, so much."
