Chapter 13
Months have past and when I say that they have been hectic, believe me. It took me 3 months before I found the perfect dress and when I tried it on, I knew it was mine. Over the summer, the gang and I all went back home for a couple of weeks and let me tell you, it wasn't like we thought it was going to be. Our fathers, once again tried to talk us out of our relationships and my dad gave me a million and one reasons why I shouldn't marry Stefan. I would just roll my eyes and walk out of the room because as much as I wanted to tell him off, I couldn't because he was still my father, but one day I did snap.
"Yeah babe I'll be there soon. I just have to run to the store for my mom and then I'll meet you…ok Love you too." After hanging up with Stefan, I looked up to see my father staring at me.
"Can I help you?" I asked even though I knew what he was going to say.
"You still seeing that boy?" My dad asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Yes dad. I told you yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. We are still together and come October, he will be my husband." I said as I walked out of my room and towards the kitchen with him following.
"Elena, that boy is useless. If you marry him, you won't be happy. Trust me he's going to hurt you, just like his father did to your mother."
"DAD! That was 25 years ago. Why can't you just drop it? Just because Zach is Stefan's father, doesn't mean he's anything like him. Stefan loves me and never has he hurt me. Marrying him will make me happy, more than anything in this world and if you can't see that and let all of that bull go than you can go to hell for all I care." I snapped at him.
"You better watch your mouth. I don't give a damn if you are 23, I'm still your father." My dad said as he glared at me.
"Yeah well you sure as hell aren't acting like it."
"Elena, he's a Salvatore, they are no good. I've been telling you that since you were a kid."
"So does that mean that in October, when I become a Salvatore, I will be no good too?" I told him with a glare.
He just looked at me and didn't say anything. Knowing that was the end of our conversation I grab my car keys and walking out of the house.
Once we got back to New York, we finished planning everything. My mum, Jeremy and Kat all flew up here about a week ago and are going to fly to Hawaii with us. I can't believe that in 10 days, I'm going to be Mrs. Stefan Salvatore.
"I can't believe that we are getting married in 10 days." I told Stefan as we sat on the couch watching Transformers 3.
"I know it seems like just yesterday I asked you to be my girlfriend." Stefan said as I smiled up at him.
"That was a great day."
"You can say that again." He said as he kissed my temple.
Stefan Salvatore stood at the beach looking out at the water. It was around 11:30 pm and he was waiting on Elena Gilbert to show up. I know what you're thinking "Gilbert?", but every since the two started being nice to one another and getting to know each other, they became friends. Only the thing is a couple of weeks ago, Stefan started to gain feelings for the brown- haired beauty. He couldn't believe it, but every time he saw her our heard he voice, he got butterflies in his stomach and a stupid grin on his face.
"Guess who." A voice said bringing him out of his thoughts. Stefan chuckled as he felt hands over his eyes.
"Um…Caroline"
"Nope"
"Oh I know, Nina Dobrev"
"You know you're really bad at this game." Elena said as she spun Stefan around. Stefan just smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You know I'm just kidding Lena." Stefan said using his nickname that she loved.
"Soooo guess what." Elena said as the two started to walk on the beach. They were holding hands, but neither paid attention.
"What."
"My dad said we are going to Miami for our family vacation. He moved it up."
"Oh really when do you leave?"
"Friday."
The moment she said that, Stefan's heart stopped. Friday was 3 days away. What was he going to do without her for 2 weeks? He didn't know why, but it was telling him that he should tell her how he felt. What if she met someone down there? What if they started to date? He couldn't handle seeing or hearing her talk about another guy like that.
"Hello…Stefan….anyone home?"
"Huh. Oh sorry Lena."
"Are you okay?" Elena said looking at him concerned. "You kinda blacked out on me there."
Stefan just stared at her as his mind and heart fought with each other. Finally he just leaned down and kissed her. He felt her jumped, but then sink into the kiss. Smiling, Stefan pulled her closer as he felt her wrap her arms around his neck. Much to his dislike, Elena pulled back when air was needed.
"Wow." Elena said with a small smile as Stefan copied her.
"Yeah" Stefan said in a whisper not wanting to break the moment.
"Um..not that I didn't like it because trust me I did…but what was that for."
"I like you Elena. And when I say like, I mean, really, really, really like you. You're the first person I think about when I wake up and the last one I think about when before I fall asleep. You're always in my head. When you smile or laugh, I smile because I love both of them. You're different from other girls and I like that about you. I guess what I'm trying to say is..Will you be my girlfriend?" Elena just looked at Stefan. She couldn't believe it, he was asking her to be with him.
"But..what about our friends, and parents and the schools."
"I don't give a damn about any of that." Stefan said as he placed his forehead on hers.
"All I care about is you. We'll make it work. I'll figure it out. I promise. Just please…. be with me Lena." Stefan said as Elena smiled at him. She pulled him in for a kiss before pulling back and nodded.
"I'll love to be your girl." Elena said as Stefan smiled and spun her around.
"You know I wasn't going to ask you out that day." Stefan said playing with my hair.
"Really?" I asked confused.
"Yea, I was still figuring out how I felt, but then you said that you were leaving for Miami and I couldn't take it so I told you how I felt." He said as I smiled up at him before pulling him in for a kiss.
"I'm glad you did."
"Me too." Stefan said with a smile.
"I remember we text each other every day while I was gone. I had to tell Cassie that I was texting one of my teammates." I said as Stefan chuckled.
"Yeah the guys kept asking who I was talking to. Turns out I had a certain smile on my face that only came when I was texting you." He said as I smiled up at him.
JEREMY'S P.O.V
"Jeremy Gilbert here lady and gentlemen, not only am I the best man in my sister's wedding, but am also the camera man." I said to the camera.
My self along with my family and the gang were all at the airport waiting to board our flight to Hawaii. I couldn't wait to go, it sucks that our dad won't be there, but it's his lost. Anyway back to my video duty.
"As you can see, we are at the airport waiting to get to Hawaii. Only Elena would choose a place like Hawaii to get married. Anyway as you can see the entire wedding party is over here." I pointed to camera over towards were everyone was sitting.
"Hey guys wanna say something to the happy couple?" I asked the boys. All of them said the usual Congrats and Good luck. I asked the girls the same and they said the same as the guys. Once I saw my sister and future brother in law, I turned the camera towards them.
"You guys are sickenly sweet." I said as I broke up their little love fest.
"Jeremy what are you doing?" My sister asked.
"My job duh." I told her as she rolled her eyes.
"You're supposed to record the ceremony and the parties."
"I know but this is for the behind the scenes part. Now do you have anything to say to each other?"
"Yeah I have something." Stefan said as I pointed the camera at the two again. "All I have to say is that I can't wait to marry this beauty."
"Aw babe." Elena said as the two leaned in to kiss him.
I smiled at the two as I was happy that Elena found someone to love her back. To bad my dad couldn't see it.
"And I repeat u two are sickenly sweet." I said with a laugh as they just shook their heads at me.
We had landed in Hawaii about an hour ago and everyone was in their hotel unpacking. The wedding was in a week and it just seems like time flew by. Our hotel was right across from the beach, so we had an excellent view of the ocean. I was out on our balcony looking at the ocean, when I felt two strong arms wrap themselves around my waist. As a reflex, I just leaned into his arms, loving the feeling.
"What are you thinking about?" Stefan whispered in my ear as he kissed my neck.
"Just how in 5 days, I'll be Mrs. Stefan Salvatore." I said as Troy smiled down at me.
"Wow 5 days, I thought it was 10." He said as I hit him on the arm making him chuckle.
"I'm just messing with you babe. You know I know the days. I've been counting down since we decided on a date." He told me as I smiled and kissed him.
"Come on, we need to get going. We have to meet up with Christina." I told Stefan as I walked back into our room and he groaned.
"Put I wanna go surfing." He said with a pout.
"You can go a surfing after, now come on." I said as I pushed him out of the room.
5 minutes later, we were walking though the hotel lobby as we spotted our wedding planner, Christina sitting in one of the restaurants.
"Hi Christina." Stefan and I said as she hugged us both.
"Are you guys excited to be in Hawaii?"
"Defiantly. I'm more excited for the wedding though." I said as Stefan squeezed my hand under the table.
"But of course. Anyway, I have everything laid out. Everything that we need is being flown in this week. All the staff will be here tomorrow, so that we can start on everything. The guest will all be here by Wednesday and we have all of their rooms and everything set, Thursday is the wedding practice at 6:30, Friday is the all white party and yes, the guest have all the information they need on that. You can come down to the room where its being held Thursday and Friday morning so that you guys can see everything. And Saturday is your big day." Christina told us with a smile.
"Thanks so much Chris. This all looks perfect and I know you're going to make it perfect." I said as she nodded.
"That's my job." She said with smile as Stefan and I hugged her.
"Now can we go surfing?" Stefan said as I rolled my eyes at him. Sometimes I think he's a little kid stuck in a 23 year olds body, but I love him so.
"Yes baby, we can go surfing now." I told him and then laughed when his eyes lit up.
