Chapter 2:

Elijah looked at his brothers and smiled.

Elijah: Yes. I plan on it. I already have the ring. And Miranda and Grayson's blessing for me to marry their daughter.

Kol: Can we see it?

Elijah nodded and went to his study and to his safe and got the ring out. He came out and sat across from his brothers and opened the small box to reveal a 2 carat princess cut diamond ring. It sat on a thick band of silver. It had a big diamond and a whole bunch of small ones.

Klaus: Elena will love that. It's exactly her style.

Kol: Lijah its beautiful. It will fit Lena perfectly. Did you pick it out yourself?

Elijah: Yes i did.

Klaus: Lena will definelty say yes brother. She loves you. She always has always will.

Elijah: As i love her forever and always.

The boys final left and Elijah went back to his and Elenas room after he put the ring away. He saw her curled up in bed sleeping peacefully. He changed and slipped into bed. Elena instantly snuggled up to him as she has always done.

Around 1 week later:

Elijah: Lena we need to finsh packing and then we have to make sure Matt and Bekah are ready. We leave in the morning.

Elena: Okay i will go finish my your done go make sure Beks and Matt are done.

Elena finished packing while Elijah called his sister. They were doen packing. Elijah quickly grabbed the ring from the safe and put it in his bag by the door. Just then Elena came out. She had her large suitcase and her big purse. She sat the suitcase by the door and her big purse on table near the door.

Elijah: My love, im excited for our trip. Arent you?

Elena: Yes. Its going to be amazing.

Just then Elena's phone rang.

Elena: Hello?

Rebekah: Lena do you have any idea where Matt and Lijah are taking us?

Elena: No. Eli wont tell me. And Matt wont either and hes one of my best friends.

Rebekah: This sucks.

Elena: Tell me about it.

Elijah and Matt laughed at their girlfriends who were like sisters, about to be sisters that is. Matt knew about the proposal happening. He had always been close with Elena and knew she would love it and wouldnt think twice about saying 'Yes' to Elijah.

Soon Matt and Rebekah showed up at the apartment and they all headed to the airport. A few hours later they arrived in Paris. The girls were screaming and jumping in their boyfriends arms smothering them with kisses, not that they minded.

Elijah: Come on my love. Lets head to our hotel, we have dinner reservations soon.

Elena: Bekah i'll see you later! Love you!

Rebekah: Love you too Lena!

The boys both muttered: Yeah, love you too.

While the girls giggled hearing them so they each stood on their toes kissing their boyfriends sweetly. Their boyfriends smiled and lifted them up off their toes. Elena and Rebekah pulled away giggling while the boys sat them down. They all grabbed their things and headed to their hotel.

Elijah and Elena's hotel room:

Elijah: Mm. Alone at last.

Elena:*giggling* Yeah. So where are we going tonight?

Elijah: I may have lied a little. I just want a night alone here in our hotel room.

Elena: I can live with that.

Elijah and Elena ate, showered and settled in the living room area of their hotel room. They were watching romantic movies. While Elena was staring at the TV Elijah brought the ring out from his pocket. He quietly opened the box and held it and faced towards Elena and said her name quietly. Elena looked at Elijah and gasped.

Elena: Eli what are you doing? *tears brimming her eyes*

Elijah: Elena, my love. I've known you since the day you were born. My brothers and I always flirted with the beauty next door. I've loved you from the beginning. I never want you to change. But if you will, Elena Marie Gilbert will you please change your last name and become my wife for forever and always?

By the time Elijah was done with his little speech Elena was crying tears running down her cheeks.

Elena:*crying* Yes. Yes I will marry you!

Elijah smiled and slipped the ring on her finger kissing and hugging her. He pulled away from his bride to be and wipped the tears away from her eyes kissing her softly. Elijah whisked away his fiancee to their bedroom of the hotel and made love with her all night long.

Meanwhile in Matt and Rebekah's hotel room:

Matt: Babe?

Rebekah: Hmm?

Matt: Do you wanna know why Elijah wanted to bring Elena here?

Rebekah: Yes actually. I do.

Matt: He's proposing.

Rebekah: Really!? Elena is gonna be my sister!

Matt: Yes babe. But you can't let them know you know until they tell us the news. Okay?

Rebekah: Okay.

Matt passionetly kissed his girlfriend and began his way down her neck. Things heated quickly ending in the bedroom for the night.
