A/N: This time it's Caroline ;) And Sarah's the one teasing her. I really like her character, can't wait 'till she and Caroline have a sense let's hope they won't kill her off before that happens.
- Somewhere in the future and also some barolena feels
"So, What's with you and Stefan?"
Caroline turned to look at Sarah with wide eyes. Sarah had only learned the truth about her family a few days ago, Stefan told Damon the truth about her and he has surprisingly taken it very well. The three of them spent an entire day getting to know each other better, and She was going to stay at the Boarding house for a the next week or two before returning to her college.
"What do you mean? We're friends." Caroline wondered innocently, trying to ignore Elena's and Bonnie's snickers. They were sitting on the beds in their dorm, keeping her company as Stefan asked; not that they minded, Sarah was great.
Sarah smirked and raised her eyebrows "Really? You gonna play it like that?" She asked "Even though I caught the both of you in a very unfriendly situation last night?"
Caroline turned bright red. Elena and Bonnie looked at her shocked "What?!" They both screamed.
"Sarah!" Caroline hissed, Sarah just shrugged as a replay "They were bound to find out eventually, you two aren't very...discreet, to say the least." She said "Matt caught you in the alley behind the bar just last week, he told me. And I doubt that you are fooling Damon in any way." Sarah added laughing, Caroline sighed.
She and Stefan had been together for nearly two months now. After she turned back her humanity Stefan and her finally had that talk about their feelings, only they ended up not doing much talking. They decided to keep it a secret, to see if it can take them somewhere serious before they tell people, and give her time to grieve her mother properly. After that time has passed they still haven't told anyone, each of them found different excuses to why not. But a few of their friends did find out; Matt caught them making out in the alley, Alaric walked in on them at the boarding house and so did Sarah, and they were pretty sure Damon knew all along. That only left Tyler, Bonnie and Elena.
"Care, is that truth?" Elena asked, pulling Caroline out of her thoughts. She looked up at them and swallowed the lump in her throat nervously "Yes." She finally said "We've been dating for almost two months." She admitted.
Bonnie and Elena eyes grew wide with surprise "Why didn't you tell us?" Bonnie wondered "Yeah we would have been happy for you, you know that right?" Elena asked.
"Of course I know that." Caroline exclaimed frustrated "It's just...It's complicated." She blurted. She was glad Elena was okay with them being together, and even gladder to not see jealousy in her eyes. Elena's past with Stefan was a big reason she wanted to keep the relationship a secret "I guess, it was easier to pretend it was just the two of us for a while..." Caroline said, her voice full of guilt "I'm sorry. You have every right to be upset. I know I should have told you sooner." She apologized.
Elena and Bonnie shared a look, Bonnie sighed and said "We're not mad; we just wish you would have told us. We're your friends, we love you and we understand and we're more than happy for you." She finished. Elena nodded in agreement.
Caroline broke into a smile and she pulled both of them into a tight hug "Thanks." she whispered "I love you guys too."
"Yeah yeah...now let's get to the good stuff." Elena laughed as they broke the hug "Tell us everything!" She said.
"Yeah we want details!" Bonnie joined, a grin on her face.
"But not too much detail, I've seen enough yesterday." Sarah said making a face.
An hour later when while making their way to Caroline's car Elena froze in place, tagging on Bonnie's arm "Crap." She cursed
"What?" Bonnie asked as the rest of them stopped too.
"I just realized we owe Damon ten bucks." She said pouting.
The four of them burst into laughter.
