A/N Hey! I just finished typing this chapter and had to put it up! I added a Stefan POV in here but i had too, i dont think it will be a regular occurance for me to switch POVs but if i do i will make sure they are as clearly marked as i can make them. now read on and tell me if you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own it. As much as I wished I did I don't. But i do own my own brain and any plot that happens to jump out of it!

Chapter 5

I lay on my bed thinking about the past week, I had seen Damon everywhere, in the grocery store, The Grill, and randomly all over town. If I didn't know better I'd say he was stalking me, not that it would really bother me if he was, and I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see him, with his sarcastic tone of voice, mocking smile and generally annoyed disposition.

I shook my head and looked around my room, it was Saturday and I was sitting her doing homework, life is really bad. Elena burst in through the bathroom door, "Erika! Guess what!" she yelled excitedly.

I sighed, my bad weekend was getting better and better, "I don't know and I don't care. But you're going to tell me anyway aren't you?"

Her face fell ever so slightly at my lack of enthusiasm, but she perked up again, "Stefan asked me to be his girlfriend!"

Internally I groaned, I was actually hoping to hang out with my sister tonight because we both had nothing to do, until now, "You're going out then?" I asked.

"No, Stefan is coming here! So I need your help setting up some games and food and stuff. You're welcome to join us, since Jeremy, Justin and Jenna are out." She was practically bouncing from excitement.

"I'll help you set stuff up but I'm probably not going to stay down there. I will let you two have some privacy." I said as I rolled over and stood up.

"Oh ok, well if you change your mind…" she trailed off, looking hopeful that I might actually hang out with her and her new boyfriend. But it probably wouldn't happen, we had grown apart in the past few years, she stayed with our old group of neighborhood friends and I started to hang out with my less judgmental, more laid back, swim team friends.

"Well let's get those games out then shall we?" I said standing up; she followed me out her perky cheerleader steps following behind me to the game closet.

Stefan POV

I can't believe I'm dating Elena, this could go so wrong but so right as well. The only way it would work out in long run is if…but no I will cross that bridge when I come to it. I turned at the sound of someone entering the living room and see my brother sitting in the chair across the room a drink in his hand.

"You are not coming with me. I don't want you in her house." I tell him firmly.

In a flash he's standing in front of me, "First of all do you think you could stop me from coming? Second what if I'm not going over there for your Elena? And third, you could not stop me from getting in there if you tried." He said in no uncertain terms, "But, you know what? I'm feeling unnaturally kind and generous today, so I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't want to hurt Elena, alright? I couldn't care less about that perky cheerleader."

He started backing towards the door, his face enigmatic, "I don't believe you." I called after him.

He stopped and turned back towards me, "That's unfortunate. But if we want to be there by six then we better get going." He smiled mockingly and turns to the front door, "Are you coming?" he asked as I stood rooted to the spot. I sighed and followed him out.

Erika POV

Elena and I had just finished setting the last bowl of food on the table when Elena turned to me and said, "We should answer the door like we used to, you know to confuse Stefan." She said giggling. I agreed reluctantly willing to let her have her fun.

Seconds later a knock sounded from the front door, we headed towards it, I opened the door "Hello." We said in perfect unison. I saw Stefan do a double take and smirked to myself, and then I noticed Damon behind him.

He took a step forward and held his hand out to me, "Good evening Erika, how are you?" Damon said staring into my eyes.

Stefan looks shocked and says, "You know Elena's sister? How did you tell them apart?"

Damon smirked, "Erika and I met at The Grill last week, and I could tell them apart by their eyes. Though I don't expect you to be able to see the simple beautiful differences, Stefan." He sneered as he said his brother's name, "You see Erika has light green blue eyes with a burst of gold around the pupil, whereas Elena has no gold, just the green and blue."

Stefan looked shocked at his brother's observance, I must admit I was shocked too; no one ever picks up on our eye color differences. Elena looked between the brothers anxious at the tension, "Stefan, why don't you come inside we have the living room set up for some games." She motioned inside, "Are you coming Damon?" she asked out of respect for our parents teaching us manners.

Stefan stepped inside, "No, he can't stay. He needs to leave." That sentence was loaded with implications, I knew that Damon didn't get along with his brother but this was much more than I expected.

"Non-sense! He can hang out with Erika since they obvious know each other." She said glancing at me with accusatory eyes; well I would be explaining that later.

"Would you like to come inside Damon?" I asked.

He smiled, it wasn't mocking or sarcastic, it was nice and lit up his face, "Yes I'd love to." He stepped over the threshold. Stefan sighed in resignation, and led Elena out of the room with his hand on the small of her back.

"Do you want to play board games our hang out in the loft?" I asked standing by the foot of the stairs and the entrance to the family room.

His grin returns, "Well let's see, play board games with my brother, or spend time with you…" he trailed off, feigning indecision, "I think I will follow you upstairs." I stifle a smile as I hear the double meaning to his words, and turn to lead him up the stairs to the loft.
